Sometimes I need a present for someone I don't know well. For a woman, it's easy to give a scarf or something similar, but men are more challenging. This is perfect - unique, beautiful, interesting.
Men can be hard to buy for. This was a great gift because it looked attractive just sitting out, like a piece of decor, but also gave him things to fiddle with in idle moments -- particularly useful, as he was trying to quit smoking.
My dad and I always get either other little trinkets for problem-solving gifts so I decided to get this for him for Christmas. He LOVED it! We bring it out every holiday and try to do the puzzles together.
