Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves puzzle solving, there are several thoughtful and engaging gifts that would make his Christmas special. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Puzzle Subscription Box: Why not surprise your son with a subscription to a puzzle-solving subscription box? Each month, he would receive a new set of puzzles to solve, which could include crosswords, Sudoku, cryptograms, and more. This will ensure he always has a new challenge to look forward to, keeping his puzzle-solving skills sharp and providing endless entertainment.

2. Puzzle Books: There is a wide variety of puzzle books available that cater to different interests and difficulty levels. Consider buying a collection of cryptic crossword or Sudoku books for your son, allowing him to immerse himself in his favorite pastime. You can even find books that focus on themed puzzles, such as history or pop culture, to make it more personalized and engaging.

3. Puzzle Board: To enhance his puzzle-solving experience, consider gifting your son a puzzle board or mat. These handy accessories provide a dedicated space for assembling puzzles and can be easily stored or transported. Some puzzle boards even come with compartments to organize and sort puzzle pieces, making the solving process more efficient.

4. Puzzle Apps and Games: In the digital age, there are numerous puzzle-solving apps and games available for smartphones and tablets. Look for highly-rated apps that offer a wide range of puzzle types, or specifically cater to his favorite puzzles like crosswords or Sudoku. This would allow him to enjoy his hobby on the go, and also compete with friends or other players online.

5. Puzzle-solving Workshop: If your son enjoys the challenge of solving puzzles in a social setting, consider gifting him a puzzle-solving workshop or class. Many cities offer workshops where puzzle enthusiasts can gather to solve complex puzzles or participate in escape room challenges. This would give him an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and expand his puzzle-solving skills.

6. Personalized Puzzle: For a truly unique and sentimental gift, consider creating a customized puzzle for your son. You can have a favorite photo of yours or a special memory transformed into a puzzle. This would not only provide him with a fun activity but also serve as a cherished keepsake.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is understanding and catering to your loved one's interests and passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with your son's love for puzzle-solving, you are sure to bring him joy and show how much you appreciate his unique hobbies.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
