Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about playing board games at local cafes, I have some gift ideas that will enhance his gaming experience and show your support for his hobby.

1. Unique Board Games: Surprise him with a unique board game that he doesn't already have in his collection. Do some research to find out what types of games he enjoys playing at the cafes and look for something in a similar genre or theme. Consider board games that have interesting mechanics, cooperative gameplay, or strategic elements to keep his interest piqued.

2. Board Game Subscription Box: Consider gifting him a subscription box like "Board Game Bento" or "UnboxBoardom" that sends him a new board game each month. These subscription boxes usually provide a variety of games that cater to different preferences and include exclusive or hard-to-find titles, ensuring he always has a fresh game to play.

3. Board Game Organizer: Help him keep his board games organized and easily accessible with a board game organizer. There are various options available, including trays, storage boxes, or carrying cases designed specifically for board games. Look for organizers with compartments or inserts that fit different game components, ensuring that everything stays in place during transport.

4. Customized Game Accessory: Add a personalized touch to your gift by getting him a customized game accessory. You could have a custom-made dice tray, card sleeves with his favorite artwork, or even a custom-designed playmat featuring his favorite game or theme. These accessories will make his gaming sessions even more enjoyable and are sure to impress him.

5. Café Gift Certificate: Since your son enjoys playing board games at local cafes, consider getting him a gift certificate to his favorite café or a new café he hasn't been to yet. This way, he can enjoy his hobby in a cozy environment and explore new games with friends. Additionally, some cafes organize special events or tournaments, so he might find it exciting to participate in those.

6. Board Game Accessories: Enhance his gaming experience by gifting him some high-quality board game accessories. This can include upgraded components like metal coins or realistic resources, card holders to make gameplay more convenient, or even a premium playmat that not only protects the table but also adds an immersive feel to the gaming sessions.

7. Board Game Merchandise: If your son has a favorite board game, consider getting him merchandise related to that specific game. This could be a t-shirt, a poster, or even a collector's edition of the game. Having merchandise associated with his favorite game will not only make him feel appreciated but also demonstrate that you pay attention to his interests.

Remember, the key is to support and nurture his passion for board games, so any gift that aligns with his interests and enhances his gaming experience will be meaningful and well-received.

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.”
