Christmas jigsaws?

[everythingisginandroses]

Just wondered if anyone could recommend where to buy a Christmassy jigsaw - something challenging like a street scene or market with 500-1000 pieces?

I haven't done a jigsaw in years, but saw a nice one in a charity shop and I fancy spending some quiet time with DS & DH on something like this. I should probably just have bought it but was nervous of buying a secondhand 1000-piece jigsaw due to the risk of missing pieces I know WH Smith sell some, but wondered what else you might recommend. TIA

The works have some Christmas puzzles

the Happy Puzzle Co is worth a look, they have lots of unusual ones. I got dd a great double sided Marmite puzzle from there

Thanks to you both Happy Puzzle Co is a good shout - I bought DS a game from there a few years ago and had forgotten all about their existence.

There are lots on eBay (filter on 'new')

LOVE a jigsaw – I've got one on the go at the moment and although DP and DSS chuckled at me and called me 'grandma' at first, I keep catching them having a quiet go as they walk past it on the table....

I was thrilled last week to find not 1 not 2 but 3 brand new 1000 piece christmas jigsaws in a local charity shop. Best £9 I have spent in ages. Just started on my second one tonight. Love a good jigsaw - very relaxing.

I saw loads in the works yesterday

Wentworth have some beautiful puzzles. They’re more expensive than cardboard ones, more of an heirloom investment really.

We have a wasjig christmas one this year. We are going to start doing it on 1st December and aim to get it done by Christmas.

These are definitely NOT Christmassy and they're pretty pricy (especially with shipping), but they are BEAUTIFUL and I want the Meta Puzzle SO BAD.

Sharing here (despite not being what you asked for, OP – sorry!) in case anyone else is a massive jigsaw nerd like me and would like a snoop:

Another vote for Wentworth.

Hobby Craft had some last year at a good price

eBay. Lots on there, including brand new.
I love Christmas jigsaws.

I've been desperately looking for a good Christmas jigsaw for a while now. I like interesting pictures rather than just a Christmas scene. The hint continues.

I second wasgij puzsles- they are great to do with family. We are doing a Christmas one as an advent calendar this year. in the box you get a classic puzzle- the picture on the box, and a mystery puzzle- ours is santa on the box looming at something and you puzzle what he sees

Looking!! Not looming.... that would be weird

Gibsons are my favourite jigsaws as they are so well made and have lovely pictures. Last Christmas I got my sister their 500 piece jigsaw of Bourton on the Water. I bet they have more. Most good toy shops sell them, and W H Smith and no doubt you can get them on line

Sorry to hijack but I wonder if anyone knows of any Christmas themed jigsaws that are only 100 pieces? I wanted to get one I could put in DDs advent calendar - a few pieces every day.

Ive never had aproblem with charity shop jigsaws, most are labelled with either complete or 1 piece missing

Some lovely ideas here, thank you all Wentworth puzzles do look gorgeous. Popped into The Works this morning and weighing up a couple of their puzzles atm.

We get a jigsaw each Xmas at start of December. Usually from House of Puzzles, the ones with the pieces shaped liked objects, there were pieces shaped like holly and even a snowman. Love them!

John Lewis have gone to town on jigsaws this year, they had loads in when I looked yesterday.
Also Re charity shop jigsaws, I was talking to someone the other day who's job it was to do the jigsaws before they were put on sale to make sure the pieces were all there!!

We have one that is specific to our our area, so Christmas in the Cotswolds as it mentions several places local to us

I believe they do them for lots of different areas

I just bought a gorgeous one from the Works - was £10 though which I found surprisingly expensive for there. Probably because it's Ravensburger:
