Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who loves playing board games and strategy games, I have a few gift ideas that I think she'll thoroughly enjoy:

1. A New Board Game: Expand her collection by gifting her a new and exciting board game that she might not have played before. Consider popular strategy games like "Ticket to Ride," "Catan," or "Pandemic." If she enjoys cooperative games, "Gloomhaven" or "Dead of Winter" could be great choices.

2. Strategy Guide Books: If your wife is particularly enthusiastic about strategy games, she might appreciate strategy guide books. Look for guides related to her favorite games, or more broadly focused ones like "The Art of Strategy" by Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff, which can enhance her overall strategic thinking and decision-making skills.

3. Customized Board Game Accessories: Personalized board game accessories can be a unique and thoughtful gift. Consider getting her custom-made dice, a board game storage solution, or even a customized playmat featuring her favorite games or artwork.

4. Board Game Subscription Box: Surprise her with a board game subscription box that delivers new and exciting games to her doorstep regularly. Services like "Board Game Bento" or "UnboxBoardom" curate and send hand-picked games, ensuring she'll always have a new game to enjoy.

5. Board Game Convention Tickets: If she's a board game enthusiast, she might love attending a board game convention. Find out if there are any nearby conventions, such as Gen Con or Spiel, and get her tickets for an experience she'll remember.

6. Game-Themed Merchandise: Show your support for her hobby by getting her merchandise related to her favorite board games. Look for t-shirts, mugs, or artwork featuring popular games like "Settlers of Catan" or "Dominion."

7. Game Night Accessories: Make game nights even more enjoyable with some fun accessories. Consider gifting her comfortable chairs or cushions, fun coasters, or even a board game-themed snack basket to make the evenings even more special.

8. Board Game Apps: If she enjoys playing games on her phone or tablet, surprise her with premium versions of her favorite board games in app form. This will allow her to enjoy her favorite games even when she's on the go.

Remember to consider her personal preferences and the games she already owns when selecting a gift. With these ideas, you can make her Christmas extra special by showing your support and enthusiasm for her favorite hobby.

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