Five Star Gift Ideas

For your crossword and puzzle-loving grandpa, I have some great gift ideas that will keep him engaged and entertained for hours.

1. Crossword Puzzle Books: Consider buying him a collection of crossword puzzle books. Look for books with a variety of difficulty levels so that he can challenge himself and enjoy solving puzzles at his own pace. You can also find specific crossword books that focus on a certain theme or topic, which can make the experience even more enjoyable for him.

2. Puzzle Subscription Box: Treat your grandpa to a monthly puzzle subscription box. These boxes usually contain a variety of puzzles, including crosswords, Sudoku, logic puzzles, and more. With a different selection of puzzles each month, he'll always have something new and exciting to solve.

3. Customized Crossword Puzzle: Create a personal and thoughtful gift by designing a crossword puzzle just for your grandpa. Use an online crossword puzzle generator to input specific words and clues that are significant to him. Include family names, memorable moments, or favorite hobbies to make it extra special. You can then print out the crossword and present it to him as a one-of-a-kind puzzle that he can solve and cherish.

4. Puzzle Board: Help your grandpa stay organized and comfortable while solving puzzles by gifting him a puzzle board. These boards come with a large surface area and a built-in frame to hold the puzzle in place. They often have compartments to keep puzzle pieces sorted, and can easily be stored away if needed. This gift will allow him to work on his puzzles anywhere in the house without worry of losing or damaging any pieces.

5. Crossword Puzzle App: If your grandpa enjoys using technology, consider gifting him a subscription to a crossword puzzle app. These apps provide a vast collection of puzzles that he can access on his phone or tablet. They often offer additional features like hints and the ability to track progress. With a puzzle app, he can enjoy solving puzzles anytime, even when he's on the go.

6. Puzzle Accessories: Help enhance your grandpa's puzzle-solving experience by gifting him some puzzle accessories. Consider puzzle mats that allow him to roll up and transport incomplete puzzles, or a puzzle caddy that holds pieces and keeps the puzzle organized. You could also get him a puzzle table or a comfortable ergonomic chair to create the perfect puzzle-solving environment for him.

7. Puzzle-inspired Decor: If your grandpa's love for puzzles extends beyond just solving them, consider puzzle-inspired decor. Look for items like puzzle piece-shaped coasters, puzzle-themed mugs or wall art. These gifts will showcase his passion for puzzles in his home and serve as a constant reminder of your thoughtful gesture.

Remember, the most important aspect of finding the perfect gift for your grandpa is choosing something that aligns with his interests and brings him joy. With these puzzle-related gift ideas, you can show him how much you appreciate his love for crossword and puzzle solving.

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