it verified and justified in the market
with other companies that have gone
down the same path, " Mendlow said,
adding that they don't want to be first
to a trend but an early adopter of it.
One trend they continue to grow
is coastal, as it remains strong in the
retail market. WerkShoppe is also
experimenting with other themes
like countryside and farm, but with
different and fresh twists, so it doesn't
look like what " Grandma " bought 40
years ago, she said.
" We're looking
at
all
of
those
themes through our lens and seeing
what we come up with, " she said.
WerkShoppe offers an assortment
of winter holiday puzzles, as well
as fall, Halloween and Valentine's
Day themes. Several of these new
puzzles include

embellishments. There are also new
shapes, square 1,000-piece puzzles,
an oversized round wreath shape with
a center cutout for holiday, and a
heart shape for Valentine's Day.

In the age of technology, puzzles
present a reprieve. Mendlow said
many listen to music or television
while puzzling, but it is ultimately
a screen-free experience. Puzzles
also allow social interaction between
people if working on it together.
" We all know that you can scroll
or stream forever, " she said. " This
is an interactive, without-technology
activity. "
Puzzles are a versatile, engaging
activity that benefits overall wellbeing
with stress
relief, problemsolving,
memory improvement,
sense of accomplishment and other
cognitive benefits.
