Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend enjoys solving Rubik's cubes, there are plenty of gift ideas that can enhance their experience! Whether they are just starting their cube-solving journey or are a Rubik's cube master, there is something for everyone.

1. A New Rubik's Cube: A good quality Rubik's cube can make all the difference. If your friend has been using the same old cube for years, perhaps it's time to upgrade to a newer model. More advanced cubes have smoother movements, better corner cutting, and a range of internal mechanisms to choose from, so do a little research and see which one best suits your friend's solving style.

2. Puzzle Books: Solving a Rubik's cube is a fun brain teaser, but what happens when your friend solves it too fast? A puzzle book challenges her/him to think outside the cube. A book with different types of brainteasers or color-matching puzzles may be a great way to mix things up and keep their brain sharp, even if they happen to be away from their cube.

3. Cube Lubes: As your friend gets more invested into speedcubing, they will come to appreciate the benefits of using specialized lubricants to enhance cube performance. Gifting them a set of lube options they have never tried helps them achieve even faster solve times, and it’s an excellent way to take their cube performance to the next level.

4. Cube Stand: Sometimes, your friend may take pride just in having their cubes laid out and admired. A cube stand is a perfect way for them to show off their prized cubes and organize the collection when they're not in use. Whether it's a custom-made stand or a functional one, it's a fun and unique way for them to display their puzzle pieces.

5. Cube Timer: If your friend is a pretty serious speedcuber, then a good digital cube timer is essential. Having one will help her/him hone-in and increase their solving speed, which is an essential part of the fun. There are amazing suitable timers to choose from, depending on your budget, and some offer unique features like stats-keeping, time recording and sharing, and even training modes to help your friend improve their cube-solving speed.

6. Cube Keychain: A Rubik's cube key chain could be the perfect everyday reminder of their favorite hobby. There are many different designs available, some include miniature movable cubes or even comical faces, but they are all practical and functional and make a fantastic little gag gift.

Overall, Rubik's cubes are an enjoyable and unique hobby, and any of these gift ideas would be sure to please your friend. They not only add to the fun of solving puzzles but also help your friend improve their problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination!

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
