Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys solving crossword puzzles and riddles, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift options that would cater to his interests. Here are a few ideas that could be perfect for him:

1. Crossword Puzzle Books: Look for a variety of crossword puzzle books that offer a range of difficulty levels. You can find books with themed puzzles, cryptic crosswords, or even ones designed specifically for beginners. This would provide him with an ample supply of puzzles to solve, keeping him entertained for hours.

2. Puzzle Subscription Box: Consider gifting him a subscription box tailored specifically for puzzle enthusiasts. These boxes typically include a collection of different puzzle types, such as crosswords, word searches, brainteasers, and riddles. Some subscription boxes even have a storyline or narrative that unfolds through the puzzles, adding an extra layer of engagement.

3. Board Games: There are several board games that revolve around solving riddles and puzzles, which could be a great addition to your son's collection. Games like "Codenames," "Unlock!," and "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective" would provide a fun and interactive experience for him and possibly encourage him to solve puzzles in a different format.

4. Puzzle Apps or Games: Look for smartphone apps or digital puzzle games that offer a wide range of crossword puzzles and riddles. This would allow your son to solve puzzles on the go, without carrying around physical books. Some apps also offer daily puzzles or multiplayer options, adding an extra layer of challenge and engagement.

5. Customized Puzzle: Consider making a personalized crossword puzzle or riddle just for your son. You can create a crossword using words and clues based on his interests, hobbies, or memorable family moments. This would not only be a unique and sentimental gift, but it would also provide him with a personalized challenge.

6. Puzzle Accessories: To enhance your son's puzzle-solving experience, you can gift him some accessories like a puzzle mat, which allows him to easily store an unfinished puzzle without losing progress. Additionally, consider a puzzle-solving toolset, including different types of pens, pencils, erasers, and a magnifying glass for those extra tricky puzzles.

Remember, the key is to focus on his passion for solving puzzles while tailoring the gift to his specific preferences. By choosing a thoughtful and personalized gift, you will show your son that you value his interests and have put effort into selecting a present that aligns with his hobbies.

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.”
