A Very Merry Mahjong Night

A little Nantucket charm. A thoughtful gift. One more game.

The dishes are cleared, there’s still a little wine in the bottle, and someone says, “One more game?” That’s the kind of holiday evening we love.

If you’re looking for a gift that gives everyone a reason to linger around the table, we’d wrap up the Oh My Mahjong Nantucket tiles.

A little Nantucket under the tree

The Nantucket tiles bring a bit of New England summer to the table in the middle of December. They’re a thoughtful gift for the friend who always hosts, the sister who’s been talking about learning, or the person who already has a standing mahjong night and would love a set of her own.

Our favorite way to give them? Wrap the tiles with a handwritten note:

“I’ll bring the snacks. You pick the night.”

Make it a whole mahjong night

A few thoughtful extras make the gift feel complete:

  • For her first set: Pair the tiles with racks and pushers or a mahjong mat to help her get her table set.
  • For her standing game night: A new mat is a fun way to change up her setup.
  • For games on the go: A tile bag makes it easy to bring her set to the next game.

An accessory on its own makes a thoughtful gift for the friend who’s always saving you a seat.

Something to look forward to in January

There’s something especially nice about a gift that comes with plans. Put a game night on the calendar for a quiet Friday after the holidays, invite three friends, and set out whatever’s left of the Christmas cookies.

By the end of the night, you might already be picking the next date.


Give a gift. Make a night of it.
