Default Jigsaws

One of my favourite things as a kid was doing jigsaws with my family at the weekend, it'd be something we would all do together... I really want to do a jigsaw now! Anyone else enjoy them? Where do people even buy them nowadays?!

Aww that's so sweet Niamh! I'd love to have a jigsaw made from some personal photos... one of the best ones I did recently (well, it was a year ago) was a Beatles one and it was composed of all their different album covers so it was quite complex getting all the pieces together but it was really good fun, did it with my dad one Sunday, it was great

It's not the same, there's something deeply satisfying about finishing a jigsaw after you've spent hours raking through puzzle pieces trying to figure out which way up they go and trying to make them fit... it's not worth it if your back doesn't ache afterwards

I hate them, I had little/ no patience as a kid and didn't sit still long enough to do them haha. My mum and dad liked to do them though, I thought it was the most boring thing ever.

LOL I see what you mean about physically ploughing thru the pieces and trying to work out it those blue pieces are the sky or the sea. I liked them when I was a kid too but I doubt I've got the patience to do a real one these days.

I love jigsaws, I've always found them really relaxing and quite educational as a kid. I remember I had one of the USA with all the states... so I'm prepared for "State Capital" questions in any given quiz! I have a spherical one that makes up into a globe. Haven't done it yet though...

I liked them when I was younger don't really bother with them now though.

I watched my brother building his 3d globe one for ages and he was even gluing it all as he was going, he was so chuffed with it then he came home drunk one night and bumped into the unit it was sitting on so it fell and he then stumbled and stood on it
