Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a birthday gift for someone who enjoys puzzles like crosswords and sudoku, there are a variety of thoughtful and engaging options available. Here are a few ideas that your dad might appreciate:

1. Puzzle Subscription Service: Consider gifting your dad a subscription to a puzzle subscription service like Puzzle Society or Penny Dell Puzzles. These services offer a wide array of puzzles delivered regularly to his doorstep, providing him with endless hours of entertainment.

2. Customized Puzzle: You can create a personalized puzzle with an image or photograph that holds sentimental value for your dad. You can have it professionally made, or you can purchase a puzzle-making kit and assemble it together as a family bonding activity.

3. Puzzle Book Collection: Look for a collection of crossword or Sudoku books by his favorite puzzle author or from a well-known publisher. Choose a book that offers a range of difficulty levels to keep him entertained and challenged.

4. Puzzle Board: Investing in a puzzle board can be a great gift for puzzle enthusiasts. Puzzle boards provide a flat surface with a non-slip mat to assemble puzzles on, making it easier to transport and store unfinished puzzles without losing progress.

5. Puzzle Apps: If your dad enjoys solving puzzles on his mobile device, consider gifting him puzzle apps such as The New York Times Crossword or Sudoku apps. These apps offer a variety of puzzles and can provide him with hours of entertainment on the go.

6. Puzzle Accessories: Consider purchasing puzzle accessories such as a puzzle roll-up mat or a puzzle organizer case. These items can help your dad keep his puzzles organized and protect them from getting damaged.

7. Puzzle-themed Gifts: Think outside the box and look for puzzle-themed gifts that go beyond the puzzles themselves. For example, you could get him a puzzle-themed mug, t-shirt, or a puzzle-inspired piece of artwork for his office or puzzle-solving space.

8. Puzzle Board Games: If your dad enjoys puzzles, he might also enjoy puzzle-themed board games like Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective or Codenames. These games offer a unique and interactive puzzle-solving experience that could be a fun and engaging addition to his collection.

Remember, your dad's enjoyment of puzzles stems from the mental challenge and relaxation they provide. So, whatever gift you choose, ensure it aligns with his puzzle preferences and offers a meaningful and personal touch that reflects your understanding and support for his hobbies.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
