Kristian Adam, Chippy
Artifact, 179 pieces. Another small puzzle with a tiny bit of difficulty from the details crammed onto the pieces. Notably nice border! 3/5

Hanukkah Evening, Anna Ivanir
Liberty, 474 pieces. A fun addition to the Judaica collection, with lots of bright colors. I didn't try to put together the 3D dreidel; it seemed like the same one as the other one Liberty makes. 4/5

Little Shoppers
Stave, 495 pieces. The standout here is the top edge, taken from bits of the puzzle image and rearranged. Otherwise, lots of detail in the image to look at! 7/10

Oh, The Places You'll Go!, Dr. Seuss
Liberty, 499 pieces. Having the title and author as whimsies is very cute, though I think it would also have been very cute to have a bunch more Seussian whimsies. The big field of green means that you're relying on shape a lot to assemble; fortunately you can do that with wooden puzzles and enjoy it (if that's the kind of thing that you enjoy, which I do). Would likely make a nice variation on the standard graduation gift. 4/5

Colorful Winter City
Elms, 323 pieces. What it says on the tin! Steady assembly. Even the top has color variations that emerge once the rest of the puzzle is in place. 6/10
