Can You Gift-Wrap 16 Puzzles in 5 Minutes?

The wrapping paper tore at the corner, ribbon snarled, and the Luban cube refused to sit still. Last December, one hurried attempt to gift a puzzle became a forty-minute wrestling match with geometry and tape. That failure taught me the first rule of puzzle gifting: choose pieces that arrive composed, elegant, and eager to be opened. Below are sixteen contenders—wooden carousels, brass locks, and interlocking hearts—that pass the five-minute wrap test and still surprise the mind once the paper falls away.
