Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who enjoys competitive puzzle solving, I have some great gift ideas that could enhance her experience and challenge her skills even further.

1. Puzzle Subscription Box: Consider gifting her a subscription to a puzzle box service. These boxes typically provide a variety of puzzles and brain teasers every month, offering a steady supply of challenges to keep her engaged and entertained.

2. Escape Room Experience: Invite your daughter and a few friends to experience an escape room together. This live-action puzzle-solving game will not only put her skills to the test but also provide an exciting and immersive adventure that she can enjoy with her loved ones.

3. Puzzle Books: There are plenty of puzzle books available that offer a wide range of puzzles, such as crosswords, sudoku, logic puzzles, and more. Look for books with varying difficulty levels or ones specifically designed for competitive solving.

4. Puzzle Board Games: Consider board games that focus on puzzle-solving, such as Codenames, Rubik's Race, or Quarto. These games not only provide hours of fun but also actively engage players in quick thinking and strategic decision-making.

5. 3D Puzzles: If she enjoys hands-on challenges, 3D puzzles could be a great option. These puzzles require spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills to assemble complex structures, such as famous landmarks, animals, or even vehicles. Look for 3D puzzles of her favorite subjects to make the gift even more personal.

6. Puzzle Apps and Video Games: There are many mobile apps and video games available that offer a range of puzzles and brain teasers to solve. Some popular options include The Room series, Monument Valley, and The Witness. Consider purchasing gift cards to app stores or gaming platforms so she can choose the ones that appeal to her most.

7. Enigma or Cryptex: Puzzle enthusiasts often appreciate enigma or cryptex devices. These mechanical puzzles require careful manipulation to unlock hidden compartments, revealing a hidden message or a small prize. They can be a unique and intriguing gift for someone who enjoys the challenge of puzzle-solving.

8. Puzzle-solving Accessories: Consider accessories that can enhance her puzzle-solving experience, such as a high-quality puzzle mat to organize and display jigsaw puzzles, a puzzle roll-up mat for storage and transportation, or even a puzzle board with sliding drawers to sort puzzle pieces efficiently.

Remember to personalize the gift by considering her specific preferences and favorite types of puzzles. Whether she enjoys logical problem-solving, visual puzzles, or word games, there are countless options available to keep her entertained and engaged in her favorite hobby.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
