Every year, someone on the list is hard to buy for. They have enough candles. They don't need another mug. A jigsaw often solves the problem.
It's a gift that lasts
Most presents are opened, admired and put away. A jigsaw gets used. A 1000 piece puzzle gives most people several evenings of quiet enjoyment, and the Christmas break is the perfect time for it. The days between Christmas and New Year are slow, the table is free and nobody is in a hurry.
It suits almost anyone
Jigsaws work for grandparents, teenagers, couples and families. The trick is matching the picture to the person.
- · Art lovers often enjoy Pomegranate puzzles, which reproduce genuine artworks.
- · Car and garage fans tend to like Blue Opal's detailed vintage scenes.
- · Anyone with a sense of humour will enjoy House of Puzzles. Their Find The Difference series keeps going after the last piece is placed.
- · Travellers and dreamers can choose from Ravensburger's landmarks and landscapes, from Himeji Castle to Ayers Rock.
Picking the right number of pieces
If you're unsure, 1000 pieces is the safe choice for an adult who enjoys puzzles. For a beginner, or someone who'd like a lighter challenge, 500 pieces works well. House of Puzzles also makes Big 250 and Big 500 puzzles with larger pieces, which suit older hands or anyone whose eyesight isn't what it was.
A gift you can share
A jigsaw is also a good gift for a household rather than one person. Give it on Christmas morning, open it after lunch and it can keep the whole family busy until New Year.
Order early
December is a busy time for couriers. We suggest ordering well before Christmas, and checking our shipping policy for delivery times. Orders over $150 ship free.
