Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys puzzle solving, there are a few gift ideas that could help enhance his love for this hobby.

1. Puzzle Books: Consider getting him a collection of puzzle books that feature different types of puzzles like crosswords, Sudoku, logic puzzles, cryptograms, and more. Look for books that provide a range of difficulty levels so he can challenge himself and improve his skills.

2. Puzzle Subscription Box: Subscription boxes designed specifically for puzzle lovers are a great way to surprise your son with new and challenging puzzles every month. These boxes often include a variety of puzzles, like crosswords, Sudoku, and brain teasers, along with additional clues and instructions to keep him engaged and excited.

3. Puzzle Board: Puzzle boards are convenient tools for puzzle enthusiasts to work on and safely preserve their incomplete puzzles. These boards provide a stable surface, usually with a non-slip felt lining, that allows your son to comfortably solve puzzles at home or even while traveling. Some puzzle boards also come with built-in compartments to store puzzle pieces.

4. Puzzle Accessories: There are plenty of accessories that can enhance your son's puzzle-solving experience. Consider getting him a puzzle mat, which allows him to roll up and store unfinished puzzles without losing progress. Puzzle organizers with separate compartments for different puzzle pieces can also be helpful. Puzzle glue and frames could also come in handy for preserving and displaying completed puzzles.

5. Puzzle Games: Expand his puzzle-solving horizons by gifting him board games or video games that involve solving puzzles. There are numerous board games available that revolve around puzzle-solving, such as Scrabble, Codenames, or Dixit. If he enjoys video games, puzzle-based video games like Portal, The Witness, or Tetris could be great options.

6. Puzzle Class or Workshop: If your son wants to take his puzzle-solving skills to the next level, consider enrolling him in a puzzle-solving class or workshop. These can be local classes or online courses that teach advanced puzzle-solving techniques, provide tips and tricks, and introduce new types of puzzles that he might not have encountered before.

By catering to your son's love for puzzle-solving with thoughtful gifts, you will not only support his hobby but also encourage him to further develop his problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.

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.”
