Five Star Gift Ideas

For your crossword puzzle and Sudoku-loving grandma, I have a few thoughtful and practical gift ideas that will enhance her enjoyment of these activities and show her how much you care.

1. Puzzle Book Subscription: Consider gifting your grandma a subscription to a puzzle book service. These services deliver a curated collection of crossword puzzles and Sudoku puzzles right to her doorstep every month. Not only will she have a steady supply of brain-teasing puzzles to solve, but it will also give her something to look forward to each month.

2. Puzzle Board: Puzzle boards are specially designed trays with a smooth surface on top and a raised edge. This allows your grandma to easily work on her puzzles while keeping all the pieces contained. Look for one that has a non-slip backing so that it stays in place on any surface. This will make her puzzle-solving experience more comfortable, organized, and enjoyable.

3. Puzzle Roll-Up Mat: If your grandma likes to solve puzzles but struggles to find a dedicated space for them, a puzzle roll-up mat is a perfect gift. This portable mat allows her to roll up and store her unfinished puzzle without losing any progress. With the puzzle safely stored, she can easily move it out of the way when needed and unwrap it to continue solving whenever she desires.

4. Puzzle Reference Books: Help your grandma improve her puzzle-solving skills with reference books. Look for crossword puzzle dictionaries, Sudoku strategy guides, or books on mind-bending puzzles and brainteasers. These books can provide her with new tactics and techniques for solving puzzles, making her puzzle-solving sessions even more engaging.

5. Personalized Puzzle: Create a unique and sentimental gift by turning one of your family photos into a custom jigsaw puzzle. Many online services will take your chosen photo and turn it into a puzzle that your grandma can piece together. This personalized puzzle will not only challenge her mind but also bring back beautiful memories as she puts the pieces together.

6. Puzzle Game App Subscription: If your grandma enjoys solving puzzles on her smartphone or tablet, consider gifting her a subscription to a puzzle game app. There are plenty of apps available that offer a wide range of crossword puzzles and Sudoku puzzles, ensuring she can always have a new challenge at her fingertips.

7. Puzzle-themed Accessories: For a more lighthearted gift, consider puzzle-themed accessories. Look for puzzle patterned socks, a crossword puzzle mug, or a Sudoku-inspired necklace. These small and fun items will remind your grandma of her favorite pastimes and bring a smile to her face.

Remember, the most meaningful gift you can give is your time and attention. Plan a puzzle-solving session with your grandma, sit down together, and enjoy the puzzles you gifted her. Spending quality time and creating new memories will make the gift even more special.

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