Jigsaws are marvellous.
I am a member of the British Jigsaw Puzzle Library. You pay a subscription and they send you beautiful hand cut wooden jigsaws.
You can let them know your preferences for size etc when you join.
You only get a title and the dimensions on the box, no picture.
My parents get my subscription for me as my Christmas and birthday present.
Also Jigthings is a good company for boards and table. I have one of their portable carriers and it means that I can slide my jigsaw under the sofa and the cats can't mess it up!

I love jigsaws. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere to build one now.

We were on holiday a few weeks ago in a cottage and there were loads of jigsaws there. The annoying part was all of them had one piece missing from the box.

I love a jigsaw puzzle, I try and go for 1000 piece ones as it takes me a couple of days to do. I've got myself a proper puzzle board that I put under the sofa when its not in use. Also I get puzzles from the charity shop as they are normally a £1 rather than pay full price for one. My ds has started to help me as well which I love.

I keep one in the coffee table for me and the kids (adults) to do bits here and there when it takes our fancy. The cat also likes to "help".

@StCharlotte It's a bag of apples but I'm far too lazy to take them out of the packaging
