Slide 2 of 10

New York skyline puzzle

This puzzle of Manhattan's famous skyline is amazing, not just because it's 3D, but because it depicts the city as it appeared as far back as 1812 and as far forward as 2013, when the Freedom Tower is expected to be completed. The 640 pieces in the base make up the network of city streets and glow in the dark -- a perfect tribute to the city that never sleeps.

$49.95 at Hammacher Schlemmer.
