Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves participating in escape rooms and puzzle-solving games, there are plenty of thoughtful and engaging gift ideas that can enhance his passion and provide hours of entertainment. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Escape Room Board Games: There are numerous tabletop games available that recreate the experience of an escape room. These games, such as "EXIT: The Game" series or "Unlock!" series, offer a series of puzzles and challenges that need to be solved within a certain time limit. They provide a great opportunity for your son to enjoy escape room-style experiences from the comfort of home, either solo or with friends and family.

2. Puzzle Boxes: Puzzle boxes present a captivating challenge, combining intricate craftsmanship with brain-exercising puzzles. They come in various shapes and designs and can only be opened by solving a specific sequence of moves or unraveling hidden clues. These boxes often contain surprises or small compartments where your son can store valuable keepsakes or mementos.

3. Mystery Subscription Box: A subscription box tailored to mystery and puzzle enthusiasts, such as "Hunt A Killer" or "Sleuth Kings," would make an exciting and ongoing gift. These subscription services deliver a monthly package filled with clues, codes, puzzles, and captivating storylines, allowing your son to immerse himself in a thrilling mystery-solving adventure right at home.

4. Escape Room Vouchers: Consider purchasing vouchers for local escape rooms in your area. This way, your son can enjoy real-life escape room experiences with his friends or family members. It's a fantastic opportunity for him to test his puzzle-solving skills in a thrilling and interactive environment.

5. Puzzle Books: Puzzle books offer a wide range of brain-teasing challenges, including crosswords, logic puzzles, riddles, and more. Opt for a book that specifically focuses on escape room-style puzzles or a collection of challenging riddles to sharpen your son's problem-solving abilities.

6. Brain Teasers and Logic Games: Invest in a set of brain teaser puzzles or logic games that can be enjoyed solo or with others. These can include classics like Rubik's Cube, tangrams, sliding puzzles, or even more modern options such as "Q-bitz" or "Bananagrams," which promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

7. Escape Room Merchandise: Many escape rooms have their own branded merchandise, such as T-shirts, hats, mugs, or even escape room-themed phone cases. These items are great as stocking stuffers and can help your son show off his love for escape rooms to his friends and beyond.

Remember, the most important aspect of selecting a gift is to recognize and appreciate your son's interests. By choosing a present that aligns with his love for escape rooms and puzzle-solving games, you're not only providing him with an enjoyable experience, but also showing him that you support and encourage his hobbies and passions.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
