Five Star Gift Ideas

For your board game enthusiast son, I have a few gift ideas that might inspire his love for collecting and playing!

1. Expansion Packs: If your son has some favorite board games, consider getting him expansion packs. These packs add new elements, more replayability, and enhance the original game experience. Expansion packs are a great way to breathe new life into his favorite games and make them even more challenging and exciting.

2. Subscription Boxes: There are many board game subscription boxes available that deliver new and unique games right to your door every month. These boxes often include exclusive games, limited-edition releases, or even prototypes. It's a fantastic way for your son to discover new games, expand his collection, and be surprised with what arrives each month.

3. Board Game Organizers: Board games come with many pieces, cards, and tokens that can easily get lost or misplaced. Help your son keep his collection organized by gifting him a board game organizer. These organizers have specific compartments for different game components, making it easy to set up, play, and pack away his games. It also helps him save time on setup and organization, allowing more time for playing.

4. Board Game Table: If you're looking for a more significant gift, consider a dedicated board game table. These tables feature built-in compartments, cup holders, and sometimes a felt surface for smooth card gameplay. With a dedicated table, your son can set up and leave his games without worrying about cluttering the dining table or losing pieces. It creates a dedicated gaming space for him and his friends, enhancing the overall board gaming experience.

5. Custom Game Pieces or Accessories: For a more personal touch, consider custom-made game pieces or accessories. Many crafters and artisans create unique and handmade game pieces, card holders, dice trays, or storage boxes. These personalized items add a beautiful aesthetic to his board games and can even become cherished collectibles. Plus, knowing that these pieces are made with love and attention to detail makes them even more special.

6. Board Game Café or Convention Experience: Treat your son to a memorable experience by taking him to a board game café or convention. Board game cafés are establishments where individuals can enjoy playing a wide range of board games while enjoying food and drink. Attending a convention will give him the opportunity to explore new games, meet fellow enthusiasts, and potentially even participate in tournaments or demonstrations. These events can be exciting and eye-opening for any board game lover.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your son you understand and support his hobby. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are celebrating his love for board games and helping him continue to explore and enjoy this fantastic hobby.

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.”
