Do you know someone who absolutely loves board game night? Well let’s help them level up.

Board Fun took the classic board game feel and combined it with the excitement of video games. They boast that they are the first face-to-face gaming console.

Similar to a traditional board game, users will use game pieces during their turn. But the major difference is that this console reacts with video graphics during game play. Perfect combo for kids and kids-at-heart.

Paint-by-numbers paintings have come a long way. And now you can create beautiful pieces of art as a paint by numbers with DIY Art Club. Plus the pieces are worthy of decorating the walls in your home.

You can choose to get your pieces with or without frames. And the set of 6 mini kits come with equipment to hang your art up after you’re done.

DIY Art Club pieces range in size and price. But you can expect to pay $50-90.

7. Amazing Co Mystery Picnic

If you would prefer to do something together than to gift a tangible something, this would be a great way to accomplish that!

An AmazingCo Mystery Picnic combines the elements of “going on a date” with a scavenger hunt.

AmazingCo offers a number of mystery picnics in so many locations worldwide. To get started you would go to their site, find a location near you, choose a few food preferences, and set up the date. The day of your experience, you’ll start at home solving clues to your first stop. The one my husband and I did in La Jolla included 7 clues and stops to acquire all of our picnic food!

Whether you want to do this with a significant other or a friend, it’s a great way to plan a day of fun for two kids at heart!

Generally, AmazingCo Mystery Picnics start at $150. And that includes all the food you would pick up on this scavenger hunt.

8. SunBrix Studios: custom legos for the kid at heart

Lego sets aren’t just for kids. And odds are that you or someone who know is a Lego fanatic.

Well the cool thing about Sunbrix Studios is that it is founded by someone who used to design for Lego themselves! So now you can buy unique Lego sets from this small business.

Better yet, if you have a big celebration coming up like a wedding, birthday, or anniversary where you have a large number of people in attendance, work with Sunbrix to create a fully custom Lego set for your guests.

Sunbrix Studios Lego sets range in size and price. Currently they are between $25-35. And price will vary for bulk orders of custom sets.

9. Rug making class

The kid at heart that you are gifting for would thoroughly enjoy this new challenge!

Rug making is becoming more and more popular. Whether you love watching the videos online or want to try it for yourself, it’s a pretty cool activity.

Now you can get a rug making kit from Craft Club Co mentioned above. But those will be latch hook projects, and a rug making class would use the actual equipment used to make a rug.

You’ll want to research places near you that provide this service, and prices will vary based on project size and location.
