Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys board games and tabletop RPGs, there are several gift ideas that can enhance his gaming experience and bring him joy this Christmas.

1. Board games: Consider buying him a new board game that aligns with his interests. Some popular options for RPG enthusiasts include "Gloomhaven," a cooperative adventure game with a rich storyline, or "Betrayal at House on the Hill," which allows players to explore a haunted mansion while facing supernatural challenges. You could also look into "Pandemic," a cooperative game where players must work together to save the world from deadly diseases.

2. Tabletop RPG supplements: If your son enjoys tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, consider purchasing supplemental material to enhance his gaming sessions. Look for expansion books, like the "Dungeon Master's Guide" or "Player's Handbook," which provide additional rules, options, and lore to enrich the gaming experience. Alternatively, you could search for adventure modules that offer pre-built campaigns, saving him time in creating his own storylines.

3. Customized dice set: Dice are an essential part of any tabletop RPG, and having a unique set can add a personal touch to your son's gaming collection. Consider purchasing a customized dice set with his favorite colors or even his initials engraved on them. This personalized gift will not only be practical but also reflect his individuality and passion for gaming.

4. Gaming accessories: Help your son take his gaming to the next level by gifting him useful accessories. Consider getting him a high-quality gaming mat or terrain tiles that can enhance the immersion in tabletop RPGs. Additionally, accessories like a dice tray or tower can add a touch of elegance and convenience to his gaming sessions.

5. Subscription boxes: Consider signing your son up for a board game or RPG-themed subscription box. These boxes usually contain a curated selection of games, expansions, or RPG-related items. With a subscription, he'll receive a surprise package each month, allowing him to discover new games and accessories tailored to his interests.

6. Virtual tabletop software: If your son enjoys playing RPGs online, purchasing a subscription to a virtual tabletop software like Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds can further enhance his gaming experience. These platforms offer online tools for virtual game sessions, including maps, dice rolling, and integrated rulebooks, allowing him to play with friends from anywhere in the world.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your son's passions and interests. By selecting a thoughtful gift that aligns with his love for board games and tabletop RPGs, you'll not only demonstrate your understanding of his hobbies but also bring him hours of enjoyment and adventure during the Christmas season and beyond.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
