Dad's Puzzle Gift Guide
Looking for a gift for your puzzling pop? From crosswords to jigsaw puzzles, here are some great and inexpensive gift ideas that are sure to provide Dad with hours of puzzling entertainment.

Sports Crosswords
Sports and puzzle fans, this is for you! Whether your favorite sport is baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf or any combination of these, there's a book of crosswords compiled with the sports nut in mind.

Tavern Puzzles
Tavern Puzzles are reproductions of a type of puzzle traditionally forged by blacksmiths to amuse their friends at country taverns and inns. It is believed that perhaps the making of an iron puzzle was sometimes used as a forging exercise for young apprentice blacksmiths. Each Tavern Puzzle is mechanical in nature; removal of the object piece does not rely on force or trickery.

Scramble Squares for Dad
Scramble Squares have only nine colorfully illustrated square pieces, but the number of possible combinations in a 3 piece x 3 piece pattern is enormous with only one possible solution! The object is to arrange the nine 4" x 4" pieces so that the illustration on the pieces' edges match perfectly to form a completed design in every direction. Makes a great gift.
