Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys indie board games, there are several unique and thoughtful gift options that could enhance her gaming experiences and show your understanding of her interests. Here are a few ideas:

1. Indie Board Game Subscription: Consider subscribing her to an Indie Board Game subscription service, such as "Board Game Bento" or "UnboxBoardom." These services deliver a new indie board game every month, allowing her to discover and play games she may not encounter otherwise.

2. Game Accessories: Help her enhance her gaming setup by gifting her some stylish and functional game accessories. Look for game organizers, card sleeves, or playmats that match her favorite indie board games. These accessories not only provide protection for her game components but also add a touch of personalization.

3. Game Night Kit: Create a tailored game night kit for her, including snacks, drinks, and gaming essentials. Include some of her favorite indie board games, along with thematic snacks or drinks related to the games. This gift not only celebrates her love for indie board games but also makes game nights even more enjoyable and memorable.

4. Limited Edition or Kickstarter Exclusive Games: Indie board games, especially limited edition or Kickstarter exclusive versions, tend to be highly prized by collectors and game enthusiasts. Research and see if there are any rare or special edition indie board games that she might appreciate. Not only will it be a unique addition to her collection, but it will also show your support for her interest in the indie gaming community.

5. Board Game Artwork: If she appreciates the visual elements of board games, consider giving her artwork or posters inspired by her favorite indie board games. Many indie board games have beautifully designed game boxes or artwork, so finding prints or posters featuring these designs would be a thoughtful and personal gift.

6. Game Design Books: If your granddaughter has expressed an interest in game design or wants to learn more about the creative process behind indie board games, consider gifting her books on game design. Look for titles like "The Board Game Designer's Guide" by Ian Schreiber or "Level Up! The Guide to Great Video Game Design" by Scott Rogers. These books can inspire and educate her about the world of game development.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the personal touch and showing that you understand and support her interests. Tailor the gift to her specific tastes, and she will surely appreciate the thought and effort you put into choosing something meaningful.

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