Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys crosswords and word puzzles, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might inspire you:

1. Crossword Puzzle Books: Look for crossword puzzle collections or books that feature a range of difficulty levels. You can find themed crossword books based on different topics like sports, movies, or even his favorite TV show or hobby.

2. Personalized Puzzle: Consider getting a customized crossword puzzle made just for your son. You can create a crossword using his favorite words, inside jokes, or even include clues based on his interests. There are many online services that allow you to create personalized puzzles.

3. Puzzle Board: A puzzle board provides a dedicated space for your son to work on his puzzles. Look for one that has a non-slip surface and comes with a cover so that he can easily transport and store it. Some puzzle boards even have compartments to sort puzzle pieces.

4. Puzzle Subscription Box: Treat your son to a puzzle subscription box that delivers new and exciting puzzles to his doorstep every month. These subscription boxes often include a variety of puzzle types, such as crosswords, word searches, and brain teasers, to keep things interesting.

5. Crossword Puzzle Software: If your son enjoys solving puzzles digitally, consider gifting him crossword puzzle software or apps. These programs allow him to solve puzzles on his computer, tablet, or smartphone. Look for software that offers a wide range of puzzles and difficulty levels.

6. Puzzle Accessories: Help your son enhance his puzzle-solving experience with accessories like a puzzle-solving mat, puzzle glue for preserving completed puzzles, or a puzzle roll-up mat for easily storing puzzles in progress.

7. Puzzle-themed Merchandise: If your son is a dedicated puzzle enthusiast, consider gifting him puzzle-themed merchandise, such as a crossword puzzle t-shirt, mug, or poster. These items not only showcase his love for puzzles but also make for unique conversation starters.

8. Puzzle-solving Workshop or Retreat: For a more unique and memorable gift, look for puzzle-solving workshops or retreats that your son can attend. These events often offer opportunities to participate in group puzzle-solving challenges, learn new solving techniques, and meet other puzzle enthusiasts.

Ultimately, the perfect gift for your son will be something that aligns with his love for crosswords and word puzzles while adding a personal touch. Consider his preferences and interests to find a meaningful and engaging gift that he will cherish and enjoy for years to come.

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.”
