Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys solving Rubik's Cube and other twisty puzzles, I have a few gift ideas that will not only complement his hobby but also provide him with new challenges and opportunities to expand his puzzle-solving skills.

1. Advanced Twisty Puzzle Set: Consider getting your son a set of advanced twisty puzzles that go beyond the standard Rubik's Cube. There are various options available such as the Megaminx, Pyraminx, or Square-1. These puzzles will not only provide him with new challenges but also keep him engaged and excited about solving.

2. Puzzle Accessory Kit: Help your son enhance his puzzle-solving experience by gifting him a puzzle accessory kit. This could include things like lubricants, adjustable tensioning tools, and sticker sets. These accessories can help him maintain and customize his puzzles, ensuring optimal performance and personalization.

3. Puzzle Solving Timer: If your son enjoys timing himself while solving puzzles, a puzzle solving timer can be a great gift. These timers come in different sizes and designs and are equipped with features such as average solving time calculation and display of personal records. Additionally, some timers also have connectivity to mobile apps, enabling him to compare his solve times with other puzzle enthusiasts.

4. Puzzle Storage and Display Case: Help your son organize his ever-growing collection of twisty puzzles by gifting him a puzzle storage and display case. These cases typically have customizable foam inserts that securely hold and showcase the puzzles. They not only protect the puzzles from damage but also make it easier for your son to access and display his favorite puzzles in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

5. Puzzle Books and Algorithms: Expand your son's puzzle-solving knowledge by gifting him books that delve into different puzzle-solving techniques, algorithms, and strategies. There are many books available that cater to different skill levels and cover various twisty puzzles. This will not only enrich his understanding of puzzle-solving but also provide him with new insights and approaches to take on different puzzles.

6. Puzzle Subscription Box: Consider getting your son a subscription to a puzzle-solving monthly box. These boxes typically include a variety of puzzles, ranging from classic ones to new and unique designs. It will give your son a surprise every month and expose him to a wide range of puzzles he might not have encountered otherwise.

7. Puzzle-related Merchandise: If your son takes pride in his love for twisty puzzles, you can find puzzle-themed merchandise like t-shirts, keychains, or mugs to gift him. These items will allow him to showcase his passion for puzzle-solving and add a touch of personalization to his everyday life.

By choosing a gift that aligns with your son's love for solving Rubik's Cube and twisty puzzles, you can not only support his hobby but also provide him with new challenges, knowledge, and ways to express his interest.

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.”
