What are the best gift ideas for a board gamer
Everyone has different preferences but its THAT time of the year again and getting some inspiration could be useful :). I really like practical solutions like gaming mats or storage solutions but not sure where to get the best ones.

Best: play games with them
Might be pricey and difficult but will almost certainly make them happy: find out what game they've been wanting to get but it's hard to find or too pricey. But it will be hard to find and pricey for you too. Maybe they have "Wishlist" or "Want to trade" items on boardgamegeek.
If they also play online: annual Boardgamearena subscription. They have a way to gift a subscription but you have to make a (free) account for yourself and you have to know their username.
More practical, lower budget: If they play on a regular table (not a special boardgame table) then they might like a neoprene mat. Ideally it should be close to the dimensions of the table. Deckboxes and the accessories others are mentioning are always nice too. Upgrade bits for their favorite game (etsy has a ton of stuff too) or trays/card holders etc.

Yes! I was just about to say the same thing.
It's something most boardgamers really want, it's something that they can't buy, and it's lower impact on the planet than buying a bunch of plastic and cardboard.
