Five Star Gift Ideas

For a mom who enjoys escape rooms and solving puzzles, there are a few unique and thoughtful gift ideas that will capture her adventurous spirit and bring a smile to her face on her birthday.

1. Escape Room Experience: Treat her to a real-life escape room experience by booking a session at a nearby escape room facility. This will allow her to immerse herself in the thrill of solving puzzles and unraveling mysteries while spending quality time with her family or friends. Look for escape rooms that offer different themes and difficulty levels to cater to her interests and expertise.

2. Puzzle Subscription Box: Surprise your mom with a subscription to a puzzle box service. These monthly subscription boxes will deliver a variety of challenging puzzles, riddles, and brain teasers right to her doorstep. Companies like Mystery Pleasure Box, Escape the Crate, and Curiosity Box offer hand-picked puzzles and mysteries designed to engage and entertain puzzle enthusiasts.

3. Escape Room Board Game: If your mom enjoys the concept of escape rooms but prefers to play in the comfort of her own home, consider gifting her a board game inspired by escape rooms. Games like "Exit: The Game" series, "Unlock!" series, or "Escape Room: The Game" provide the thrill and excitement of an escape room experience, allowing her to solve puzzles and decipher codes while collaborating with others.

4. Escape Room Books: There are several books available that allow readers to solve puzzles and escape a fictional scenario. Consider gifting your mom a book from the "Escape Book" series by Ivan Tapia and Rocio Bonilla or the "Journal 29" series by Dimitris Chassapakis. These interactive books provide an immersive experience, encouraging readers to solve puzzles and challenges with each page.

5. Personalized Puzzle: Create a custom-made puzzle using a memorable photo or image that holds significance to your mom. Several online platforms allow you to upload a photo and transform it into a jigsaw puzzle. This thoughtful and unique gift will not only provide her with a fun and challenging activity but also serve as a beautiful keepsake.

6. Puzzle Accessories: Enhance your mom's puzzle-solving experience by gifting her some puzzle accessories. Consider a puzzle mat or puzzle board that allows her to safely store and transport her puzzles. Puzzle organizers with separate compartments for puzzle pieces and tools are also practical and useful gifts.

Remember, adding a heartfelt message or a handwritten note expressing your love and appreciation for your mom's adventurous spirit will make any gift even more special. By giving her something that aligns with her interests and hobbies, you are showing her how well you know and care for her, making her birthday truly memorable.

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