Pangaea Puzzles, that is: Laser-cut from Baltic birch, this heirloom U.S. map puzzle is at the higher end of the Etsy seller's wares, but it's also built to last multiple generations. Each piece features a solid brass knob, and the board can be customized to show your place of birth or whatever other message you'd like to add.
$399 from Pangaea's Etsy shop -- and if that seems a little steep, don't let it dissuade you: Pangaea also has a large selection of durable, handmade puzzles in the $25 range.
