Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys speedcubing and competitive puzzle solving, there are several gift options that would align with her interests. Here are a few suggestions that could make her birthday special:

1. Customized Speedcube: Gift her a personalized speedcube with her name or a special message engraved on it. This would not only serve as a unique gift but also enhance her cubing experience. Look for premium speedcubes that are known for their durability and smoothness.

2. Puzzle Set: As your mom enjoys competitive puzzle solving, consider purchasing a set of challenging puzzles for her. Look for puzzles with different difficulty levels, including twisty puzzles like the 3x3 Rubik's Cube, as well as other brain-teasers like the Pyraminx or Megaminx. Adding variety to her puzzle collection will keep her engaged and motivated.

3. Puzzle Book: Explore puzzle books specifically designed for speedcubers and puzzle enthusiasts. These books often contain a variety of puzzles and challenges that can be solved in a specific time frame. Opt for books with a selection of different puzzles to keep her entertained and mentally sharp.

4. Timer and Mat: A timer is an essential tool for any speedcuber. Look for a high-quality digital timer with features like multiple timing modes and a display that can be easily read while solving. Additionally, consider gifting her a speedcubing mat that provides a smooth and comfortable surface to solve puzzles on.

5. Puzzle Accessories: Help your mom level up her puzzle-solving skills and make her experience more enjoyable by gifting her some useful accessories. Consider options like lubricants to improve the turning speed of her cubes, tensioning tools for adjusting cube tension, or replacement stickers in vibrant colors to personalize her puzzles.

6. Puzzle Competition Entry: If there is a puzzle competition or speedcubing event happening soon, surprise your mom by enrolling her as a participant. This could be a memorable experience for her to showcase her skills and meet fellow enthusiasts. Do some research to find out which competitions are coming up in your area or consider traveling together to attend a larger event.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you understand and support your mom's passion. So, consider her preferences and choose a gift that aligns with her love for speedcubing and competitive puzzle solving.

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