A perfect gift for an Alzheimer's patient is a Springbok PuzzlesToRemember puzzle.

The themes are beautiful, and spark memories and conversation, the pieces are large, easy to grip and few in number, made with very high quality grade material. The ink used creates stunning colors and (like a diamond) no two puzzles are ever exactly alike. The puzzles will last for several years.

The Springbok Puzzle company donates to Alzheimer's research with every purchase of their Alzheimer's puzzles! With Christmas and New Year's on their way, please consider a lovely gift and a beautiful pastime, solving Springbok's PuzzlesToRemember Puzzles with someone special!
