    How do I pick a puzzle for someone else?

    Start from what they like: animals, maps, space, a city they know or a film they love. For a family, a picture with clear areas of color lets several people sort pieces at the same time.

    Go by the age on the box, since it follows the piece size the maker chose.

    Source: the age marks makers such as Clementoni and Schmidt print on their boxes.

    What are XXL pieces and floor puzzles?

    XXL pieces are larger than standard pieces. A 100 piece picture ends up bigger, and each piece is easier for small hands to hold. A floor puzzle has big, thick pieces and makes a picture large enough to build on the floor, most often for ages 3 to 6.

    What are frame tray, shaped and glow puzzles?

    A frame tray puzzle sits in a board with a raised edge, so the first pieces have a place to go. A shaped puzzle is cut to the outline of its picture, such as an animal, instead of a rectangle. A glow puzzle has a print that shines in the dark once the lights go off.

    How did we choose these puzzles?

    Every puzzle here is on one of our gift lists, and the store is checked again every day. When it is time to wrap it, how to wrap a present covers a flat box.

    The puzzles also have their own gift lists: jigsaw puzzles for adults, jigsaws for kids ages 3 to 5, 6 to 8 and 9 to 12, and gifts for puzzle lovers.
