Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys playing board games with friends, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that could make his gaming experiences even more enjoyable:

1. Board Game Organizer: Help him keep his collection neat and organized with a board game organizer. These come in various sizes and configurations, with compartments and dividers designed to neatly store game pieces and boards. It will not only make it easier for him to set up games quickly but also help protect his games from getting damaged.

2. Strategy Board Game: If your son enjoys strategic gameplay, consider getting him a new and challenging board game in that genre. Look for popular titles such as "Catan," "Ticket to Ride," or "Pandemic." These games offer engaging gameplay, foster camaraderie among players, and provide hours of fun.

3. Customized Board Game Accessories: Personalize his gaming experience by gifting him customized board game accessories. You could consider getting him custom-made dice, playmats, or storage boxes featuring his favorite characters or game themes. These unique accessories will enhance his gaming sessions and show that you've put thought into his gift.

4. Board Game Expansion Packs: If he already owns some favorite board games, expand his options with expansion packs. Many popular board games have additional packs available that introduce new mechanics, characters, or scenarios, adding a fresh twist to the gameplay. These expansions can breathe new life into his existing collection and provide endless hours of entertainment.

5. Board Game Cafe Gift Card: Treat your son and his friends to a memorable board game night by giving him a gift card to a local board game cafe. This way, he can enjoy not only the ample selection of games but also the ambiance and the opportunity to socialize with other board game enthusiasts in a lively setting. It could be a fun and unique experience for him and his friends to enjoy together.

6. Board Game Subscription Box: Consider subscribing him to a board game subscription box service. These services deliver new and exciting board games right to his doorstep every month. Each box usually contains a curated selection of games, ranging from popular titles to lesser-known gems, along with added surprises like exclusive expansions or themed goodies. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year and introduces him to a broader range of games.

Remember to consider his specific gaming preferences and any games he might have expressed interest in. By selecting a gift that aligns with his gaming interests, you'll be sure to put a smile on his face and enhance his board game experiences for many future game nights with friends.

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.”
