Five Star Gift Ideas

For your crossword puzzle and brainteaser loving grandma, I have a few gift suggestions that are sure to bring her joy and keep her mind sharp.

1. Crossword Puzzle Books: This may seem like an obvious choice, but it's always a winner. Look for crossword puzzle books that vary in difficulty levels, ensuring she is challenged while still enjoying herself. You can find themed crossword books, such as travel, movies, or sports, to make it even more enjoyable for her.

2. Subscription to a Puzzle Magazine: Consider gifting your grandma a subscription to a puzzle magazine that specializes in crosswords and brainteasers. This will provide her with a steady stream of new puzzles to solve and keep her entertained throughout the year.

3. Personalized Crossword Puzzle: Create a personalized crossword puzzle just for your grandma. Include clues and answers that are related to her life, family, and interests. This adds a sentimental touch to the gift and makes the crossword puzzle even more special.

4. Puzzle Board: Help your grandma solve her puzzles comfortably with a puzzle board. These boards usually have a non-slip surface and a built-in tilting mechanism that allows her to work on puzzles at a comfortable angle. Some even come with drawers to store puzzle pieces.

5. Puzzle Mat: If your grandma tends to work on larger puzzles, a puzzle mat is a practical and convenient gift. These mats provide a stable surface for assembling puzzles and can easily be rolled up for storage without disturbing the progress she has made.

6. Brain Games App: If your grandma enjoys solving puzzles on her mobile devices, consider gifting her a subscription to a brain games app. There are numerous apps available that offer a wide range of crossword puzzles, sudoku, logic games, and brainteasers. She can enjoy these games on her own or even challenge herself by competing against other players online.

7. Wordplay Book: Expand your grandma's love for language and wordplay with a book that explores different word games, anagrams, riddles, and linguistic puzzles. This can be a fun and educational gift that allows her to explore the world of language in a playful manner.

8. Puzzle Storage System: Help your grandma keep her puzzle pieces organized with a puzzle storage system. These systems usually consist of sorting trays, storage containers, and a carrying case. This will not only keep her puzzles neat and tidy but also prevent any missing pieces.

Remember to pair your chosen gift with a heartfelt note expressing your love and appreciation for your grandmother. These personalized touches will make the gift even more meaningful and cherished.

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