Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a fan of strategic board games, then you have a wide range of options for a meaningful and personal Christmas gift. Here are a few ideas that might suit his interests:

1. New board game: Research and find out if there are any highly acclaimed strategic board games that have been released recently. Look for games that have good reviews and are known for their depth and complexity. Some popular options include "Settlers of Catan," "Ticket to Ride," or "Risk."

2. Expansions or accessories: If your son already has a favorite game, consider getting him an expansion pack to enhance the gameplay experience. Expansion packs often introduce new elements or challenges, offering fresh strategies and excitement. Additionally, you can find various accessories like organizers, playmats, or upgraded components that can enhance the overall game experience.

3. Customized game pieces: Look for online services that allow you to create custom game pieces or add personalized touches to existing ones. This can be a unique and thoughtful gift, adding a personal touch to his gaming experience. You could consider customizing a set of player tokens or commissioning a custom game board featuring his favorite themes or artwork.

4. Gaming-themed merchandise: Explore online stores or local shops that sell merchandise related to strategic board games. You can find items like T-shirts, mugs, or posters featuring artwork or logos from his favorite games. These items can showcase his passion for strategic board games and allow him to express it in his everyday life.

5. Subscription to a board game service: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a board game service that delivers new games regularly. Services like "GameBox Monthly" or "Board Game Bento" offer curated selections of board games that can introduce him to a variety of strategic games he may not have come across otherwise.

6. Game storage solutions: If your son has an extensive board game collection, he might appreciate a storage solution to help keep everything organized and easily accessible. Look for shelving units, storage boxes, or specialized board game organizers that can keep his collection tidy and protected.

Remember, the most important thing when choosing a gift is to consider your son's specific preferences and interests. By selecting something related to his favorite hobby of strategic board games, you are showing that you understand and appreciate his passion, making the gift even more meaningful and personal.

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.”
