Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys crossword and Sudoku puzzles, there are plenty of thoughtful and engaging gift options that can enhance his puzzle-solving experience and nurture his interests. Here are a few ideas that he might appreciate:

1. Puzzle Books: Consider getting him a compilation of crossword and Sudoku puzzles in book form. There are various difficulty levels available, so choose one that suits his skill level. Additionally, you can look for themed puzzle books like movie-related crosswords or challenging Sudoku variants to add a unique twist.

2. Puzzle Subscription: If your son enjoys receiving surprises regularly, a puzzle subscription box can be an excellent choice. These subscription services offer a monthly or quarterly delivery of curated puzzles and brain teasers. It's a gift that keeps on giving, allowing him to enjoy new and challenging puzzles throughout the year.

3. Puzzle Board: Puzzle boards are specially designed surfaces that make it easier to work on puzzles without worrying about pieces sliding around or getting misplaced. Look for a puzzle board with a smooth surface and compartments for organizing puzzle pieces. It can be a convenient and practical gift for your son to solve puzzles comfortably.

4. Puzzle Accessories: Help enhance your son's puzzle-solving experience by gifting him some accessories. Consider puzzle mats that roll up and store unfinished puzzles, puzzle glue to preserve completed puzzles, or a puzzle table lamp that provides adjustable lighting while he engages in his favorite pastime.

5. Puzzle Software or Apps: There are plenty of puzzle-solving software and mobile apps available that offer a wide range of crossword and Sudoku puzzles. These platforms often include extra features like hints, timers, and leaderboards to add a competitive edge. Look for highly-rated puzzle apps that offer a diverse selection of puzzles and support his preferred device.

6. Puzzle-Maker Kit: If your son enjoys a challenge beyond solving puzzles, he might enjoy creating his own custom puzzles. Look for a puzzle-maker kit that provides all the necessary tools, templates, and instructions for designing and making personalized crossword or Sudoku puzzles. This gift can spark his creativity and deepen his understanding of the puzzle-making process.

7. Puzzle-inspired Merchandise: Consider finding puzzle-themed merchandise, such as T-shirts, mugs, or wall art showcasing crosswords or Sudoku. It's a fun and personalized way for your son to display his passion for puzzles and add a touch of geeky flair to his surroundings.

Remember to think about your son's preferences and interests when choosing the perfect gift. By selecting something that aligns with his love for puzzles, you'll not only show how much you care but also encourage his dedication to this enjoyable and stimulating hobby.

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.”
