Find Mystery Gifts for Mystery Lovers
Looking for the perfect mystery gifts? Try these clever tricks that will keep them guessing
When I hear mystery gifts, I often think of "Secret Santas." But my best friend is a true mystery buff -- someone who loves everything from mystery novels to a good jigsaw puzzle. And when her birthday came around, I realized that finding mystery gifts for her was going to be the way to her heart.
So if, like me, you want a gift mystery that'll keep your local detectives guessing, try these intriguing options.
1. An Evening of Murder
Mystery games are the perfect gift mystery. What better way to keep a detective happy than to let them immerse themselves in their very own murder? Added bonus: since these games only have a one-time play value, you can usually pick them up second hand for dirt cheap.
2. Sherlock Holmes action figure
What mystery lover doesn't adore the classic detective -- the greatest of them all? The best way to get mystery gifts for all your friends is to give them their very own detective. This too cute Sherlock will perch on the bookshelf and make sure everyone who enters knows they're in detective territory.
3. Alfred Hitchcock Magazine subscription
Alfred Hitchcock Magazine features monthly short stories, mysteries, and puzzles sure to appeal to any fan of the genre. The best mystery gifts keep on giving, and this one offers a monthly reminder of your devotion -- at least for half of the year.
4. A clever set up -- with a traditional end
Finally, you can always use your imagination to get mystery gifts. Pick up a famous mystery novel -- perhaps Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie -- and create a devilish "treasure hunt" the recipient will have to follow to find their prize. You could even deliver your puzzle a week ahead of time to give them time to decipher your clues.
Using your imagination makes it incredibly easy to find mystery gifts for the detective in your life!
