I've heard this brand mentioned a few times lately and it's not one I know much about. Why do you like it? Which are your favorites? I went to the website and got overwhelmed with all the things to look at.

We just buy the puzzles. I like them because of the selection. Seems like targets puzzles jump from 25 piece to 100 with nothing in between. Our local indi. toy shop had the ravens. ones in 45 and 70 piece. DD just moved up to the 70 piece ones,I'm so glad I found these because she might have gotten discouraged and stopped doing puzzles and I really didn't want to see that happen.

We have mostly puzzles, and they are still primarily made in Germany. I just read an article about that about 20 seconds ago ;)

Some of the puzzles are made in Slovenia. I was just looking at them today in a local independent toy store.

This place is local for me. http://www.reallygreattoys.com/default.aspx They do have a good selection and are a family owned business.

We have some puzzles and some games. I like that they aren't Disney character-based. I'm rather sick of Dora and the Princesses....

These are our favorite puzzles. DS is a puzzle maniac and we have bought lots of different brands. These are thick, but not too thick and have nice artwork but like PP said, no Dora, princesses etc. I get really sick of all the licenced stuff. They do make the Thomas puzzles too though for what its worth.

Ravensburger is a traditional German puzzle/game maker. People have already said it but what I adore most are the puzzles (cardboard) that have holes cut into the back.

I remember popping out the pieces(think like 10 piece cutout puzzle) when I was little and now enjoy watching my kids do the same.

I guess they are called Frame puzzles.
