Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves competitively solving Rubik's cubes, I have a few gift ideas that I think she would appreciate and enjoy. These gifts aim to both enhance her solving skills and bring joy to her puzzle-solving experience.

1. Customized Rubik's Cube: Consider gifting her a customized Rubik's cube with her name or a special design on it. This personalized touch will make the cube unique to her and add a sense of pride to her puzzle-solving achievements.

2. Speed Cube: A speed cube is specially designed for faster solving times. Look for a high-quality, professional-grade speed cube that offers smooth and effortless turning, optimal corner cutting, and stability. Brands like GAN, MoYu, and QiYi are popular among speedcubers.

3. Puzzle Accessories: Help her keep her puzzles organized and protected with a puzzle storage bag or case. Look for one that has compartments and padding to prevent the cubes from getting damaged. Additionally, puzzle lubricant can improve the performance of her cubes, making them easier to manipulate.

4. Puzzle Timer: A puzzle timer is a device that tracks solving times and adds a competitive element to the process. It allows her to compare her times to other solvers and track her progress. Look for a timer with features like multiple timing modes and an easy-to-read display.

5. Puzzle Books: Add some variety to her puzzle-solving experience by gifting her books that offer different Rubik's cube challenges and techniques. Look for books that feature various cube sizes, different solving methods, and advanced strategies. Some popular options include "The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube" by James G. Nourse and "Speedsolving the Cube" by Dan Harris.

6. Puzzle Mat: A puzzle mat is a convenient gift for any puzzle enthusiast, as it provides a portable and organized surface for solving. It ensures that her cubes won't slip or get damaged, and makes it easy to transport her puzzles wherever she goes.

7. Puzzle Competitions: Consider gifting her an entry ticket or registration for a Rubik's cube competition. This will allow her to connect with other passionate solvers, improve her skills, and experience the excitement of solving under pressure.

8. Puzzle-themed Clothing or Merchandise: Show your support for her hobby by gifting her puzzle-themed clothing such as T-shirts, hoodies, or hats. You could also find Rubik's cube-inspired accessories like keychains, phone cases, or jewelry.

Remember, the most important thing is to let her know that you support and appreciate her passion for solving Rubik's cubes. Personalize your gift based on her preferences, and it will surely bring a smile to her face this Christmas.

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