Or opt for an actual murder mystery jigsaw puzzle! The puzzle box is cleverly designed to look like a book (very sophisticated!), and the full image remains a mystery until the solver assembles the 500-piece puzzle, revealing hidden clues to crack the murder case!
2. A 6-in-1 rose gold curling iron with detachable barrels that can be swapped out to create an endless variety of curl shapes and styles. With options ranging from a tapered wand (.35-.7 inches) to a 1.25-inch clamp curling iron, your recipient can easily personalize their hair look!
