Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who enjoys solving crosswords and word puzzles, there are plenty of thoughtful and exciting gift options that can enhance her favorite pastime. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Crossword Puzzle Subscription: Give your daughter the gift of endless puzzles by subscribing her to a monthly crossword puzzle service. There are various options available online, such as The New York Times crossword puzzle subscription or Puzzle Society. This way, she can enjoy fresh, challenging puzzles regularly.

2. Puzzle Books: Consider purchasing a collection of crossword puzzle books or themed word puzzle books. Look for books with a range of difficulty levels to keep her engaged and intellectually stimulated. You could also explore other types of word puzzles like acrostics, cryptograms, or word search books.

3. Puzzle Accessories: Help your daughter stay organized and solve puzzles more efficiently by gifting her puzzle accessories. A crossword puzzle dictionary or cheat sheets that list common crossword puzzle clues and solutions can be handy tools. Additionally, crossword puzzle-solving aids like a puzzle eraser, pencil sharpener, or a comfortable puzzle-solving lap desk can make her crossword-solving experience even better.

4. Personalized Crossword Puzzle: Create a custom crossword puzzle specifically designed for your daughter. Include clues that are meaningful and relevant to her life, such as favorite movies, books, hobbies, or places she's visited. You could frame it as a unique keepsake or even turn it into a personalized jigsaw puzzle for her to solve.

5. Word Game Apps or Software: There are numerous word game apps and software available for smartphones, tablets, or computers such as SpellTower, Words With Friends, or online crossword puzzle websites. Consider gifting your daughter a subscription to a premium version of these apps for a more enhanced and ad-free experience.

6. Puzzle Retreat or Workshop: If your daughter has a particular interest in crosswords and word puzzles, you could consider enrolling her in a puzzle retreat or workshop. These workshops often feature expert puzzle solvers who can guide her in honing her skills and expanding her puzzle-solving techniques.

7. Crossword Puzzle merchandise: Show support for your daughter's passion by gifting her crossword puzzle-themed merchandise. This could range from crossword puzzle-inspired T-shirts, mugs, or even a crossword-themed charm bracelet.

Remember, beyond these suggestions, always consider your daughter's specific interests and preferences when selecting a gift. By giving a thoughtful present that aligns with her love of crosswords and word puzzles, you're showing her that you value her hobbies and support her passions.

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