Detective-themed merchandise: Showcasing your son's love for detective novels, you can explore various merchandise options like detective-themed clothing, mugs, posters, or even detective-inspired home décor. These items will not only reflect his interests but also remind him of his favorite genre every day.

6. Detective courses or workshops: Look for local or online courses that offer detective or crime-solving workshops. These classes often teach the techniques and skills used by real investigators, allowing your son to delve deeper into the world of mystery solving and experience hands-on learning.

7. Mystery-themed escape rooms: Treat your son to a thrilling adventure at a mystery-themed escape room. These entertaining and immersive experiences allow participants to solve puzzles, follow clues, and unravel mysteries within a limited time frame.
