Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves crosswords and word puzzles, I have a few gift suggestions that could enhance her enjoyment of these activities.

1. Crossword puzzle subscription: Consider signing your mom up for a crossword puzzle subscription service. There are various websites and apps that offer daily or weekly puzzles delivered straight to her inbox or phone. This gift will give her a constant supply of new and challenging puzzles to solve.

2. Customized crossword puzzle book: Create a personalized crossword puzzle book just for your mom. Compile a collection of crossword puzzles that feature her favorite topics, interests, or even her family members' names and inside jokes. You can find online services that allow you to easily generate these custom puzzles.

3. Puzzle accessories: Help your mom stay organized and focused while doing crosswords with some puzzle accessories. Consider getting her a crossword puzzle board or mat, where she can work on her puzzles without losing her progress. Puzzle boards often come with built-in storage compartments for pencils, erasers, and clue sheets.

4. Word game board game: If your mom enjoys word puzzles, expand her repertoire with a new word game board game. There are many popular board games like Scrabble, Bananagrams, or Boggle that can provide hours of wordplay entertainment for the whole family.

5. Puzzle-themed clothing or accessories: Show your mom's love for crosswords and word puzzles with puzzle-themed clothing or accessories. You can find T-shirts, scarves, or jewelry featuring crossword or puzzle-inspired designs. These items serve as great conversation starters and personalized fashion statements.

6. Puzzle books by favorite authors: Determine if your mom has any favorite crossword puzzle authors or creators. Look for puzzle books specifically created by these authors. This will not only keep her entertained but also introduce her to new styles and challenges.

7. Crossword puzzle classes or workshops: If your mom is up for a new challenge, why not gift her a crossword puzzle class or workshop? Many community centers or adult education programs offer courses where enthusiasts can learn solving techniques, tips, and tricks from expert crossword puzzle solvers.

8. Word puzzle mobile apps: Introduce your mom to the wide range of word puzzle mobile apps available on smartphones or tablets. There are numerous apps like Words With Friends, 7 Little Words, or Word Connect that offer unique word challenges and social gameplay options.

Remember, the best gift is always the one that shows thoughtfulness and consideration for your mom's interests. By selecting a gift that enhances her love for crosswords and word puzzles, you'll be giving her something that brings both enjoyment and intellectual stimulation.

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”
