Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son loves puzzles, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift options that would make his Christmas extra special. Here are a few ideas:

1. Puzzle Subscription Box: Consider gifting him a puzzle subscription box, which delivers a new puzzle to his doorstep each month. There are various subscription services available that cater to different preferences, from crossword puzzles to brain teasers. This way, he gets to enjoy a new challenge regularly and expand his puzzle-solving skills.

2. Puzzle Books: Look for puzzle books that feature a variety of puzzles, such as crosswords, Sudoku, word searches, and logic puzzles. Opt for books that come in different difficulty levels to keep him engaged and challenged. Choose themes that align with his interests, like sports, history, or movies, to add a personal touch.

3. Puzzle Board: Help him solve puzzles more comfortably by gifting a puzzle board or puzzle roll-up mat. These specially designed boards have compartments or grids to sort puzzle pieces and secure them in place. Puzzle boards are portable, allowing him to continue solving puzzles anywhere without the fear of losing pieces.

4. Customized Puzzle: Create a unique and personal gift by turning one of his favorite photos into a customized puzzle. There are online services that let you upload a photo and transform it into a puzzle, which he can then solve and keep as a memento. Choose a photo that holds special meaning, such as a family portrait or a memorable vacation moment.

5. Puzzle Video Games: If he enjoys spending time on electronics, consider getting him puzzle-based video games. There are several options available on various gaming platforms, ranging from classic puzzle games like Tetris and Bejeweled to more complex and strategic options like Portal and The Witness. This way, he can have fun solving puzzles while enjoying digital entertainment.

6. Puzzle Accessories: Enhance his puzzle-solving experience with some useful accessories. Gift him a high-quality puzzle-solving mat that makes it easy to organize and store puzzles in progress. Magnetic puzzle organizers or puzzle boards with built-in lights can also be excellent additions, as they provide better visibility and ease while solving.

Remember to choose gifts that cater to his specific puzzle interests and skill level. You know your son best, so consider his preferences and the challenges that would excite him. The goal is to provide him with hours of enjoyment, intellectual stimulation, and a new way to indulge in his favorite 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.”
