Five Star Gift Ideas

Based on your mom's interests in trivia, Democrats, puzzles, and DIY activities, there are a variety of thoughtful and engaging gift ideas that could make this Christmas truly special for her.

1. **Trivia and Puzzle Combo:**
Consider gifting her a subscription to a trivia and puzzle magazine or book. There are many trivia books that focus on political themes, especially ones covering American history, which could align well with her interest in the Democratic party. Brands like “USA Today” offer monthly puzzle book subscriptions that can include a variety of puzzles, from crosswords to Sudoku, that can challenge her knowledge and keep her engaged.

2. **Political Themed Puzzle:**
Find a high-quality jigsaw puzzle that features a political theme or something specific to the Democratic party. This could include iconic images or significant moments in political history that resonate with her values and interests. Ravensburger, for example, offers custom puzzles where you can create a personalized puzzle, perhaps using a relevant political image or family photo at a political event.

3. **DIY Trivia Game Kit:**
Create a custom DIY trivia game featuring questions related to her areas of interest, such as politics, history, and her personal life. Include fun facts and personalized challenges that could be played during family gatherings or virtual meetups with friends. There are DIY board game kits available online that provide materials and templates to start creating your own game.

4. **Crafting Kits with a Purpose:**
Since she enjoys DIY projects, a crafting kit related to political activism could be a meaningful gift. Consider something that allows her to create banners, buttons, or apparel with political slogans. Alternatively, a DIY embroidery kit featuring political themes or motivational quotes from notable Democrats could be something she would treasure.

5. **Virtual Experience:**
Gifting her a membership to an online platform that hosts trivia nights, particularly those with political or historical themes, could be an excellent way for her to socialize and engage with other trivia enthusiasts. Look for platforms like Great Big Story or Atlas Obscura that offer tailored experiences.

By choosing one or more of these personalized gifts, you can ensure that your mom receives something she loves and cherishes, allowing her to enjoy her favorite activities and celebrate her interests in a meaningful way.

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