Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys speedcubing and Rubik's Cube solving, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for him this Christmas. Here are a few options that he will likely appreciate:

1. New Rubik's Cube Set: To complement his love for speedcubing, you could gift him a new set of Rubik's Cubes. Look for different variations such as a 2x2, 4x4, or even a Megaminx. Consider getting a set with different difficulty levels, which will challenge and inspire him to keep improving his skills.

2. Puzzle Timer: A puzzle timer is an essential tool for speedcubers. It allows them to time themselves and track their progress. Look for a high-quality, accurate, and easy-to-use timer. Some timers also come with additional features, such as recording average solve times, which can be very helpful for your son's training.

3. Cubing Accessories: There are plenty of cubing accessories available that can enhance your son's speedcubing experience. Consider gifting him a cube lubricant, which can improve the smoothness and speed of his cubes. Another option is a cube stand or display case, which will help him keep his collection organized and on display.

4. Puzzle Books: A thoughtful gift for your son could be a book that delves into the history, techniques, and strategies of solving Rubik's Cubes. Search for titles that cater specifically to speedcubing or explore other puzzles and brain teasers that align with his interests.

5. Custom Cubing Gear: For a truly personal touch, consider getting custom-made cubing gear for your son. This could be a custom-designed Rubik's Cube with his name or a meaningful image printed on it. You can also explore personalized cubing-themed clothing, accessories, or even a cubing-themed phone case.

6. Workshop or Training Session: If your son is looking to take his speedcubing skills to the next level, consider gifting him a workshop or training session with a professional cuber or a renowned speedcubing coach. This could be a transformative experience for him, offering valuable tips and guidance to improve his techniques.

7. Competition Entry: If your son aspires to participate in speedcubing competitions, consider gifting him an entry ticket to a local or regional event. This will motivate him and provide an opportunity to showcase his skills among other cubers.

Remember, the most important aspect of selecting a gift is to demonstrate your understanding and support for your son's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for speedcubing, you are not only acknowledging his hobby but also encouraging his personal growth and development in a meaningful way.

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.”
