Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a meaningful and personal gift for someone like your grandpa who enjoys riddles and brain teasers, there are several options that can both challenge and entertain him. Here are a few ideas:

1. Puzzle books: There are a multitude of puzzle books available, ranging from traditional crossword puzzles and Sudoku to more specialized options like logic puzzles or cryptograms. Consider a collection that caters specifically to riddles and brain teasers, such as "The Great Book of Riddles and Brain Teasers" by George Tammy or "The Ultimate Riddles Book: Word Riddles, Brain Teasers, Logic Puzzles" by Cindy Bowdoin.

2. Escape room experience: Escape rooms are a popular way for people to test their problem-solving skills. They provide an immersive experience where participants have to solve riddles and puzzles to escape a locked room within a certain time limit. Look for an escape room facility in your area and book a session for your grandpa and possibly even the whole family to enjoy together.

3. Mind-bending board games: There are several board games that can provide your grandpa with a fun and challenging experience. Games like "Codenames," "Mastermind," or "Rush Hour" are excellent choices as they involve strategic thinking and puzzle-solving abilities. You could even host a game night with your grandpa and the rest of the family, making it a memorable and interactive experience.

4. Customized riddle or puzzle book: Put a personal touch on your gift by creating a custom-built riddle or puzzle book for your grandpa. Compile a collection of riddles, brain teasers, and puzzles that match his interests or include personal anecdotes and memories to make it even more special. You can have the book professionally printed or create it yourself with some crafting supplies.

5. Online riddle and puzzle subscriptions: There are websites that offer subscription services providing a regular supply of riddles and brain teasers. These online platforms usually send new challenges or puzzles via email or have a dedicated app. By subscribing your grandpa to one of these services, he can look forward to receiving new riddles and brain teasers regularly, allowing him to keep his mind sharp and engaged.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that shows thoughtfulness and consideration for your grandpa's specific interests. Whether it's a physical gift or an experience, the fact that you've taken the time to find something that aligns with his passion for riddles and brain teasers will undoubtedly make it a meaningful and appreciated Christmas present.

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