Editorial Review

No ordinary jigsaw, this puzzle assembles into a 9.5-inch globe with a surface image created from old mariner’s charts. To enable freestanding rigidity, the extra-thick cardboard pieces are designed to fit together a mite more snugly than typical puzzle pieces. There are two construction methods: tough (use the numbers and arrows on the back of each piece as a guide) and really, really tough (just use the map image on the front). The specially designed “trap door” at the north pole allows you to master the fiddly but oh-so-satisfying last piece. Cardboard base and full instructions are included. –Richard Farr

Assembles into a free standing sphere & requires no interior support

Dress up the kitchen table with this elegant 20-piece tableware set from Corelle Lifestyles. An antique lace motif adorns the dishes, recalling England’s Victorian era and suggesting several decades of use. In addition to its attractive design, the tableware set provides all the essential pieces for day-to-day dining. With service for four, each setting includes a 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, a 9-inch luncheon plate, a 7-1/2-inch salad/dessert plate, an 18-ounce soup/cereal bowl, and an 11-ounce stoneware mug.
