Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves board game nights and game design workshops, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that could help enhance her experiences and indulge her interests:

1. Board Game Planner: Help your mom stay organized and keep track of her board game nights with a board game planner. This specially designed journal will allow her to create game schedules, track scores, and even rate the games she's played. It will not only make her planning easier but also serve as a keepsake for her board game memories.

2. Game Design Book: If your mom is interested in game design workshops, a book on game design principles and strategies could be a valuable addition to her collection. Look for books that delve into various aspects of game design, from mechanics and storytelling to prototyping and playtesting. It will not only inspire her creativity but also provide insights from industry professionals.

3. Customized Board Game: Consider creating a personalized board game for your mom based on her interests and experiences. You can design the board, cards, and rules based on inside jokes, memories, or places she loves. This unique and thoughtful gift will not only showcase your creativity but also provide an entertaining activity for your entire family to enjoy.

4. Game Subscription Box: Surprise your mom with a monthly game subscription box tailored to her preferences. These boxes often include a curated selection of board games, card games, or puzzles, making it a delightful surprise each month. Look for subscription boxes that align with her interests, such as strategy games or cooperative play.

5. Game Design Workshop: Treat your mom to a game design workshop or a game design course where she can learn new skills and gain insights from professionals in the field. Look for local workshops or online courses that focus on different aspects of game design, such as game mechanics, narrative design, or playtesting. This gift will not only nurture her passion but also provide her with valuable knowledge to further develop her skills.

6. Board Game Accessory: Enhance your mom's board game nights with a stylish and functional board game accessory. From premium card sleeves to custom dice sets and game organizers, there are various options available to enhance her gaming experiences. Consider her favorite games and find accessories that will elevate her gameplay.

7. Game Night Experience: Plan a surprise game night experience for your mom by inviting her friends or family members who also enjoy board games. Decorate the space, prepare her favorite snacks, and organize a friendly competition with her favorite board games. This gesture will not only show your thoughtfulness but also create a memorable and enjoyable evening for her.

Remember, while the gift itself is important, it's the thought and effort you put into choosing something that aligns with your mom's interests that will truly make it meaningful and personal.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
