My Word! 14 Amazing Gift Ideas For Scrabble Lovers

Help them on their quest to find the ultimate triple word score, with a gift that every keen Scrabble player will adore.

Scrabble is the ultimate word game to play with your friends and family, as it's easy to learn and anyone can play it.

However, while it's easy to learn, it's tough to master.

As you need to combine knowledge of an extensive vocabulary of words with the ability to construct them from random letters in your rack, and also know where to play them on the board for the best possible score.

But this is what makes it such an enjoyable pastime, as it helps to build your cognitive and word skills while spending quality time with your loved ones.

So if you know someone who loves nothing more than a game of Scrabble, how about getting them a Scrabble related gift that will enhance their gaming experience?

As the following list of gift ideas for Scrabble lovers are packed full of things that they would really appreciate.

1. A Top Class Scrabble Set To Play With

If you know an avid Scrabble player, then the best gift you could get for them is a top quality Scrabble board to play on.

As this will be so much more satisfying for them than using a regular board, and will wow their friends when they come over for a game.

And a good one to go for is the Scrabble Deluxe Edition set above, which contains mahogany tiles and a board with a raised grid to hold them in place.

While the solid wood mahogany cabinet looks great, and has a revolving top so each player can move the board around to see what they're doing when it's their turn.

2. A Travel Scrabble Set For Games On The Go

While it's wonderful to play Scrabble at home, it is also great to have the option to play a game with friends wherever you may be.

So gifting a Scrabble enthusiast a travel Scrabble set to keep in their bag is a really good idea, as they can then play in restaurants, coffee shops, on trains, whenever they like.

And for a set that they will definitely enjoy using, check out the Scrabble Deluxe travel edition, which is a classy set that also has a raised grid to hold the tiles in place.

Very handy for games on the move!

3. An Electronic Scrabble Timer To Stay On Track

When you play Scrabble more seriously, especially two player games, you may want to give each player a time limit to make their moves in to keep the game flowing along.

So getting a Scrabble player an electronic games timer, such as the Leap digital games timer,  is another useful gift idea.

As they can set this up to countdown whatever amount of time they like, and make sure no-one slows the game down unnecessarily.

4. A Games Table To Play Scrabble On

While you can play Scrabble anywhere with a flat surface, it's so much more comfortable and enjoyable to play on a proper games table.

Which makes the Flash Furniture games table a really nice gift idea for Scrabble players, with it's green felt surface and room for 4 players to sit around.

And it folds away easily when not in use too, so they can store it without taking up too much space.

5. A Scrabble Dictionary For Checking Words

Now I'm sure everyone who has ever played Scrabble will know players that are always trying to play obscure and very iffy words, swearing that they are actual words.

And without The Official Scrabble Dictionary, it's impossible to challenge them and tell them that they are trying to pull a fast one!

So one of these Scrabble dictionaries makes for a super handy gift for any Scrabble player that doesn't already have one.

6. An Entertaining Book About The Professional Scrabble World

If your Scrabble lover plays to a good standard and is quite competitive with their games, then they may be interested in what it would be like to play Scrabble professionally.

And if that's the case, then Word Freak by Stefan Fatsis would be a great gift to get for them.

As this is the entertaining tale of the players and colourful characters that take part in Scrabble games at the highest level, competing against each other and becoming obsessed with reaching perfection with their game.

So it's definitely a Scrabble book they can get their teeth into.

7. A Set Of Scrabble Score Sheets

If you want an idea for a little stocking stuffer for a Scrabble player, then how about getting them the Scrabble Score Sheets book?

As this is a packed full of blank score sheets that makes it super easy for them to keep score in their games, and will save them the time and effort of drawing the grids themselves.

Plus they'll never get caught without a pad or a scrap of paper to write on when they have one of these in their locker.

8. Fun Scrabble Sets As An Alternative To The Classic Game

As well as the classic Scrabble games, you can also find some special editions and themed variations that are fun to play, and also make for good gifts.

So for instance you have the National Parks Scrabble game for lovers of the great outdoors.

Or how about the Retro Series Scrabble 1949 Edition, which is a replica of how Scrabble was played over 70 years ago.'

Then there's the Scrabble World of Harry Potter board game, for fans of J.K Rowling's young wizard.

And finally, for a fun novelty stocking stuffer, you won't go far wrong with The World's Smallest Scrabble set, which is so tiny they can fit it in their back pockets!

9. A Scrabble Set That Sits On The Bookshelf

Another novel and fun Scrabble set that makes for a fantastic gift is the Scrabble bookshelf edition.

As this is a Scrabble set packaged in a book shaped outer case that they can leave sitting inconspicuously on their bookshelf until they fancy a game.

And the look on their friends faces when they get a book down only to reveal a Scrabble set inside will be a picture!

10. Some Scrabble Wall Art For Their Home

If you want to go a bit further and get a Scrabble lover something that will look great in their home, then you could go for some Scrabble inspired wall art.

As this will display their love of the game to their guests, and with the letter aspect of the tiles, there are a multitude of possibilities.

With one example being the TenXVI Designs Scrabble wall decor above, which spells out the words family, home, and love using large Scrabble tiles as if they were being played on a Scrabble board.

11. A Scrabble Mug For In Game Refreshments

Getting someone a mug is a pretty bog standard gift idea, but I think any Scrabble lover would really like the Scrabble coffee mug above.

As this is a good looking and well designed mug containing all the Scrabble tiles and board markings that they're used to.

And it will give them something interesting to drink their coffee out of while playing their favourite game.

12. Scrabble Tile Fridge Magnets To Play With

Another fun gift idea for a Scrabble lover is to get them a set of magnetic Scrabble tiles.

As they can play around with these magnets on their fridge door, using the letters to spell out messages and reminders for themselves and their loved ones.

Which is much easier and more satisfying than writing out a note!

13. A Card Game Based On Scrabble

If you want to get a Scrabble player a little gift that provides an alternative to their regular Scrabble games, then how about a Scrabble inspired card game?

As the Scrabble Slam card game gives them the chance to practice their word making skills while having plenty of fun with their friends.

So it's a gift they can get straight out of the box and play during a family get together over the holidays.

14. A Scrabble Set For The Kids

If you really enjoy a game of Scrabble, and think it would be good for your kids to start playing too, then getting them their first Scrabble set is a lovely little gift idea for them.

However, instead of diving straight in with a classic Scrabble set, why not get them the Scrabble Junior game instead?

As this will introduce them to Scrabble and word games in a more fun and easier way, making it much more likely for them to enjoy it and want to play for real in the future.

Rounding Up

Scrabble is a classic word game that is popular the world over, being played among friends and family both competitively and for fun.
