Having seen them pop up everywhere from gift guides to catalogs and big-box stores to boutiques, I’m calling it: The “beautified board game” is the it gift for 2025. With boxes designed to look like books, or fancy acrylic boards and brass pieces, these board games are anything but boring. They’re perfect for displaying on a shelf or a coffee table, so they take up less storage space and actually add to your decor, too. A win-win!
