Board Games

You could consider nearly every board game to be a sustainable gift. With good care, these stay in families for generations, played over and over again. Ideally, the versions you have are made with recyclable materials, but when the box breaks or you’re ready to retire the game, you can always donate it or reuse the game pieces in crafts. Here are some newbies and oldies that will get your favorite guy through the long winter:

• Rubik’s Race: Fast-paced, highly competitive, this head-to-head, two-person game challenges players to slide the Rubik’s tiles to see who can match a pattern first.
• Murder Mystery Case Files: You watch the documentaries and television crime dramas – now is your chance to solve the case.
• Chess: Wooden chess sets never go out of style, and this is the kind of game that will keep you busy through any amount of quarantine.

Stocking Stuffers

• Extract Labs CBD Muscle Cream: For any muscle pain on the body, this CBD cream soaks in quickly, minimizing pain (and it smells nice too!)
