Gifts For the Mah-Jongg Maven

Whether it’s you or your Bubbe down in Boca, chances are you know a mah-jongg player – probably more than one! And they will need gifts this Hanukkah and for birthdays to come. The great thing about mah-jongg is that there is a lot of stuff you can buy to support their habit (oops I mean hobby).

From travel sets and carrying bags to books, mats and household decor, the mah-jongg maven in your life will love your gifts. She will use them whenever it is her turn to host, when she can proudly display them.
