17 jigsaw puzzles for adults that are perfect for some downtime
Along with knitting and crocheting, jigsaw puzzles are a great activity to indulge in when you're looking for a light hobby that is both rewarding and challenges the mind.
From 500 pieces all the way up to 6,000 (and even more – if you dare), you can find a box that best suits your free time and mood and will have you leaving the stresses of the day behind as you get engrossed in putting together your picture.
A great form of self-care, puzzles are available in a huge array of designs. Cat puzzles, food pictures, exotic locations and even personalised photos, we mean it when we say there's a puzzle for everyone.
When it comes to buying a puzzle there are two things that are important to consider. Firstly, how many pieces you go for should depend on your skill and patience levels. If you're a beginner it might be worth starting at a 500-piece puzzle where as those who do it regularly may want to push themselves.
Also, consider the picture on the puzzle as this can be or make a break decision. You want lots of colour and clear, distinct images for a smooth process. However, if it's a challenge you're after you may want something that has lots of small images or huge blocks of one colour.
Another great thing about puzzling is that jigsaws are a pretty inexpensive hobby to upkeep. Generally prices are £20 and under and if you can find a family member or friend who enjoys putting pieces together you can put in a little swapping system, too. In fact, why not invite them over for a chatter while taking on your latest project together?
