Obsession-Worthy Puzzles From Blue Kazoo
Blue Kazoo was born in 2020 based on the idea that jigsaw puzzles could be an obsession—and obsessed we are! In January 2023, Blue Kazoo launched its first-ever line of 100% plastic-free, premium sustainable jigsaw puzzles. They eliminated cellophane and poly bags, added an FSC-certified blackboard, and switched to biodegradable inks and finishes. The results speak for themselves. We hope you love them!
COLLECTIBLE FACT:
The Boxtrolls Charcuterie & Cutting Board is made of Madrone, a species of tree that is native to the Pacific Northwest.
