Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son loves completing jigsaw puzzles, you have the perfect opportunity to gift him something that will not only keep him entertained, but also challenge his problem-solving skills and provide a sense of satisfaction upon completion. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your puzzle-loving son:

1. Unique and Challenging Puzzle Set: Look for puzzle sets that have unique designs or themes to add an element of excitement to his collection. You could consider a 3D puzzle, a puzzle with a hidden image, or a puzzle with additional elements like a maze or optical illusions. These variations will keep your son engaged and eager to solve the puzzle.

2. Customized Puzzle: Make the gift even more personal by creating a customized puzzle. You could get a photo of a cherished memory or a family portrait turned into a puzzle. This not only adds a personal touch, but also makes the puzzle more meaningful and sentimental.

3. Puzzle Accessories: Help enhance your son's puzzle experience by gifting him some puzzle accessories. Consider getting him a puzzle mat or a puzzle board, which will allow him to work on larger puzzles without worrying about losing progress. Additionally, puzzle sorting trays or puzzle roll-up storage bags can be great for organizing pieces and keeping them safe.

4. Puzzle Subscription Box: For a gift that keeps on giving, consider a puzzle subscription box. These boxes typically include a variety of puzzles, ranging from different difficulty levels and themes. Subscriptions can be monthly or quarterly, and your son will be pleasantly surprised with a new puzzle arriving at his doorstep on a regular basis.

5. Puzzle Books: If your son enjoys a challenge beyond jigsaw puzzles, consider puzzle books such as crossword puzzles, word searches, or Sudoku. This will provide him with a different kind of mental stimulation while still indulging his love for puzzles.

6. Puzzle-Related Artwork or Décor: Add some puzzle-themed artwork to your son's room or workspace. This could be a puzzle-inspired painting, a wall decal, or even a puzzle-shaped clock. These decorative pieces will not only make his space more personalized, but also remind him of his favorite pastime.

7. Puzzle-Related Games: Look for board games that have puzzle-solving elements. Games like "Codenames," "Pandemic," or "Ticket to Ride" require strategic thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork, all while providing an enjoyable gaming experience.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you truly understand your son's interests and passions. By choosing a puzzle-related gift, you are not only providing him with a fun activity, but also supporting his cognitive development and giving him a personalized reminder of your love and thoughtfulness.

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.”
