Jokers make great gifts!

There are so many wonderful jokers out there that I have not been able to purchase!

For example: The Heritage Playing Card Company makes a whole set of gorgeous decks on various themes.


You can find them at www.heritageplayingcards.com As of now, I own:

Wild Flowers
Backyard Birds
Exotic Birds
Insects & Spiders
Herbs
Fish
Dinosaurs
Fruits of the World
Butterflies of the World
Asian Animals
African Animals
Cats of the World (3/11)
Horses & Ponies of the World (5/11)
Classic Roses (6/11)
*
Heritage of Scotland

*******************
Additionally, Piatnik makes an amazing number of absolutely gorgeous cards, and decks usually contain 3 rather than just 2 jokers!
