Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys doing crossword puzzles and Sudoku, I have a few gift ideas that will cater to his interests and bring him joy during the holiday season.

1. Puzzle books: Consider gifting him a collection of puzzle books that are specifically designed to challenge and entertain crossword and Sudoku enthusiasts. Look for books with a variety of difficulty levels to keep him engaged and motivated. Additionally, you can find puzzle books that offer new and unique variations of these classic puzzles, which can add excitement and variety to his solving experience.

2. Puzzle subscription: There are numerous puzzle subscription services available that deliver fresh sets of puzzles directly to your doorstep on a regular basis. This gift can provide your son with a continuous stream of new and fascinating crosswords and Sudokus. Many of these subscription services also offer personalized difficulty levels and interactive online platforms, allowing your son to track his progress and compete with others.

3. Puzzle board game: If your son also enjoys socializing and playing games with others, a puzzle board game can be an excellent gift choice. There are various board games that combine the mechanics of crossword puzzles and Sudoku with strategic gameplay and competitive elements. These games often encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills while offering an enjoyable and interactive experience for everyone involved.

4. Puzzle accessories: Help enhance your son's puzzle-solving experience by gifting him some useful accessories. Consider getting him a high-quality puzzle mat or board that allows him to easily transport and store his puzzles without the risk of losing any pieces. Puzzle organizers and storage solutions can also be great gifts to help him keep his puzzle collection neatly organized.

5. Puzzle-inspired merchandise: Show your son's love for puzzles with some fun and creative merchandise. Look for crossword or Sudoku-themed t-shirts, mugs, keychains, or even puzzles shaped like everyday objects. These items can serve as delightful and personalized gifts that showcase his passion and act as conversation starters.

6. Puzzle apps and software: If your son enjoys solving puzzles on the go or using digital platforms, consider gifting him a subscription to puzzle apps or software. There are several mobile apps and computer programs available that provide a vast selection of crossword and Sudoku puzzles, allowing him to solve them directly on his device. Some of these apps also offer interactive features, such as hints, timers, and leaderboards, which can add an extra layer of excitement to his solving experience.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful gift for your son is to show that you appreciate and support his hobbies and interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for crossword puzzles and Sudoku, you can make this Christmas a memorable one for him.

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.”
