Five Star Gift Ideas

Since your daughter enjoys playing board games with friends and family, a great Christmas gift idea for her could be a new and engaging board game that she can add to her collection. Here are a few options that she might enjoy:

1. Codenames: This highly popular and award-winning game is perfect for a group of friends or family. It's a thrilling word association game where players try to correctly guess the code words based on clue cards given by the "spymasters". With different difficulty level options, it can be enjoyed by players of all ages.

2. Ticket to Ride: If your daughter enjoys strategy games, Ticket to Ride is a fantastic choice. In this game, players compete to build train routes across various cities and earn points. It's easy to learn, yet offers enough depth to keep players engaged. There are also multiple versions available, such as Ticket to Ride: Europe or Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries, to add more variety to her collection.

3. Catan: Settlers of Catan is a classic family board game that has gained immense popularity over the years. It involves resource management, negotiation, and strategic planning. Players compete to build settlements and cities on a hexagonal game board, trading resources with each other. This game offers endless replayability and fosters a sense of friendly competition.

4. Pandemic: If your daughter enjoys cooperative games, Pandemic is an excellent choice. In this game, players work together as a team to stop the outbreak of diseases across the globe. Each player has a unique role and must strategize and coordinate their efforts to find the cures before time runs out. It's a thrilling and immersive experience that encourages teamwork and communication.

5. Splendor: For a game that combines strategy and set collection, Splendor is a fantastic option. Players compete as Renaissance merchants, gathering gems and purchasing cards to create an economic empire. With elegant gameplay and simple mechanics, it's a game that can be enjoyed by both casual and experienced players.

Along with the board game, you could also consider getting your daughter a board game organizer or storage solution to keep her collection organized and easily accessible. Additionally, a board game-themed art print or a personalized board game-themed mug could be a thoughtful and fun stocking stuffer.

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