Five Star Gift Ideas

For your puzzle-loving grandson, there are numerous gift ideas that can enhance his enjoyment and challenge his skills. Here are some suggestions to consider:

1. Puzzle Subscription: Consider gifting him a subscription to a puzzle delivery service that offers a variety of puzzles each month. This way, he can explore different types of puzzles beyond jigsaws and Sudoku, such as word games, brain teasers, and logic puzzles. The surprise element of a new puzzle arriving regularly will keep his interest piqued.

2. Customized Jigsaw Puzzle: Make the gift extra special by creating a custom jigsaw puzzle featuring a photo or image that holds meaning to your grandson. It could be a picture of your family, his artwork, or his favorite place. This personalized touch will make solving the puzzle even more enjoyable. There are many online services that allow you to create personalized puzzles.

3. Puzzle Books: Gift him a collection of puzzle books that cater to his interests. Look for books with a range of puzzle types, like crosswords, cryptograms, and logic puzzles. You can also find puzzle books that have themes he enjoys, such as sports, animals, or his favorite video game characters.

4. Puzzle Board: Consider getting him a puzzle board, which provides a dedicated space for him to work on his jigsaw puzzles. Look for one with a surface that can securely hold puzzle pieces in place while he works on it. With a puzzle board, he can easily store and transport his ongoing puzzles without worrying about pieces getting lost.

5. Puzzle App or Online Membership: If your grandson enjoys digital puzzles, gift him a subscription to a puzzle app or online platform. There are countless options available, offering a wide range of puzzle types and difficulty levels. This will give him the opportunity to solve puzzles on his tablet or computer, providing a different experience from traditional pen-and-paper puzzles.

6. Puzzle Storage and Sorting System: Puzzle enthusiasts often struggle with organizing and storing puzzle pieces. Help your grandson keep his puzzles organized by gifting him a puzzle storage and sorting system. Look for one with separate compartments or trays to sort and store puzzle pieces of different puzzles, making it easier for him to find specific pieces and keep everything organized.

7. Puzzle Mat: A puzzle mat is a fantastic gift for your grandson, as it allows him to work on jigsaw puzzles without taking up valuable table space. These mats are rollable and provide a felt surface onto which the puzzle can be assembled. When he needs to pause his puzzle-solving session, he can roll up the mat, securing the puzzle in place, and store it without worrying about losing progress.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that aligns with your grandson's specific interests and preferences. By selecting something related to his love for puzzles, you'll not only surprise him with a thoughtful gift but also encourage his passion for problem-solving and critical thinking.

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