Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Springbok Farm Fresh Puzzle & USPS Farmers Markets Notecards

Springbok Farm Fresh Puzzle 1000 piece is one of several puzzles back in stock, with Limited Quantities asterisks. Seeing it reminds me of the Farmers Markets Note cards with stamps over at the USPS Postal Store. Both of these I’m thinking (without giving away the surprise to my own Mom) are great Mother’s Day Gift ideas this year.

Before beginning, today is National Nurses Day kicking off National Nurses Week; it ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s Birthday.

In looking for stories about shortages of puzzles, I’m including this link to a two minute listen from All Things Considered from NPR: “With People Stuck At Home, Jigsaw Puzzle Sales Soar”, April 13, 2020.

Springbok Farm Fresh Puzzle

Its size is 30″ x 24. The pricing for the 1000 piece is $17.50. 

“This puzzle is straight from the farm! “Farm Fresh” is a rainbow-colored 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle featuring a wide array of fruits and vegetables.”

Be prepared when looking at the springbok website, there are numerous puzzles that do show out of stock; however, selecting the Springbok New Puzzles category it brings up many that are in-stock, with some stating *Back in Stock!*. And further below on the page, there are some already gone.

USPS Farmers Markets Notecards

Back on June 24, 2015, my blog post was on “Summer Harvest Stamps (& Farmer’s Market)“. It is showing available online at USPS Postal Store S_472523 for the set of eight note cards with stamps for $13.95.

Before closing, the arrival in my mailbox today included a wonderful long letter from a dear pen pal (and AnchoredScraps long time email subscriber. It was perfect timing reading about her love of jigsaw puzzles with writing today’s blog post. I’ll be writing her back shortly, and mentioning be sure to check out the Springbok Challenge Jigsaw Puzzles. “… These are full of challenge even for the experienced puzzler!”

During the past few days, I’ve been considering ordering a puzzle myself. Of course, I’m going to have to figure out how to Cooper proof the puzzle table area! Any suggestions?
