Dog Tired — House of Puzzles, 1000 pieces, $34.99
A living room scene that has been commandeered by a very comfortable dog. Tracy Hall's warm domestic illustration with the kind of detail that keeps drawing you back in across multiple sessions. An easy gift for anyone with a dog — or anyone who has ever lost a sofa to one.
Wildflowers — House of Puzzles, 1000 pieces, $34.99
A botanical illustration of British wildflowers — detailed, colourful, and well suited to someone who spends time in the garden or the countryside. The variety across the species gives you strong natural sorting anchors throughout the assembly.
Portofino on Reflection — House of Puzzles, 1000 pieces, $34.99
The Italian harbour village of Portofino reflected in still water — a scene with an unusual compositional challenge built in, since the reflection doubles the colour information across the puzzle. A good choice for an experienced puzzler who wants something a bit different.

Norwegian Fjord — Ravensburger, 1000 pieces, $39.99
A dramatic aerial photograph of a Norwegian fjord in deep winter — dark water, snow-dusted slopes, a scale that does not fully register until you are halfway through the assembly. Ravensburger's linen finish makes the extended sessions this kind of landscape demands noticeably more comfortable.
Rainbow of Birds — Ravensburger, 1000 pieces, $39.99
A vivid illustrated collection of tropical and garden birds, arranged across the frame by colour spectrum. The colour range makes sorting straightforward and the finished illustration is one of the most display-worthy in the Ravensburger range. A strong gift for birdwatchers or anyone who likes a puzzle that looks good on a wall.
Patchwork Rainbow — House of Puzzles, 1000 pieces, $34.99
A folk art-style illustration of a patchwork quilt scene — bold colours, geometric patterns, and a warmth that comes from the subject matter as much as the palette. One of the more distinctive illustrations in the House of Puzzles range, and a natural gift for anyone who sews or quilts.
