Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves solving puzzles and brain teasers, here is an assortment of meaningful and personal gift ideas:

1. Escape room experience: Treat your granddaughter to an exciting escape room adventure where she can put her problem-solving skills to the test. She will love the challenge and the opportunity to work as part of a team to solve puzzles and unlock the mystery.

2. Brain-teaser board games: Consider getting her a collection of brain-teaser board games like "Santorini," "Quarto," or "Code Names." These games are not only fun, but they also promote critical thinking, strategy, and logical reasoning.

3. Puzzle subscription box: Surprise your granddaughter with a puzzle subscription box that delivers new brain teasers to her doorstep every month. There are many options available, such as Puzzle Post, Think Outside, or Cratejoy's Puzzle Subscription. This gift will provide her with an ongoing source of entertainment and challenge.

4. DIY puzzle project: Encourage her creativity and problem-solving skills with a do-it-yourself puzzle project. You can find puzzle kits that allow her to design and construct her own puzzle, such as a wooden puzzle set or a 3D puzzle. This gift will not only engage her intellectually but also provide a sense of accomplishment.

5. Puzzle book collection: Expand her puzzle-solving repertoire with a collection of challenging puzzle books. Look for titles like "The GCHQ Puzzle Book," "The Riddler's Book of Puzzles," or collections by renowned puzzle masters like Will Shortz. These books will keep her entertained for hours and sharpen her problem-solving abilities.

6. Brain-training app subscription: Consider gifting her a subscription to a brain-training app like Lumosity or Peak. These apps offer a wide range of brain games and exercises designed to improve memory, attention, and cognitive skills. Your granddaughter can have fun while improving her mental acuity.

7. Puzzle jewelry or artwork: If your granddaughter enjoys puzzles, she might appreciate puzzle-shaped jewelry or artwork. Look for unique puzzle-inspired pieces, like necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. Alternatively, you could find artwork that incorporates puzzle themes, such as optical illusions or mind-bending imagery.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is showing that you understand and appreciate your granddaughter's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with her love for puzzles and brain teasers, you're not only providing her with entertainment but also nurturing her intellectual growth and problem-solving abilities.

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