When purchasing a personalised jigsaw in Australia there are a few important points to consi

  • What is the gift occasion?
  • What is the age group of the person you’re buying the jigsaw puzzle for?
  • What is the degree of difficulty of the puzzle?
  • What is the price range you want to spend?
  • Is the person ‘one time’ puzzler or a collector?
  • What design are you looking for? 

What is the gift occasion?

Our puzzles come in all different shapes and sizes. There is one for all occasions however our most popular jigsaw puzzles are the standard rectangle shape.  

What is the age of the person you’re buying the jigsaw puzzle for?

Usually the small puzzle pieces such as the 12 – 180 piece puzzles are recommended for the younger children and the larger 200 – 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles are recommended for teenages/adults. 

What is the degree of difficulty of the puzzle?

Usually an indication of difficulty level is the number of pieces that are in the jigsaw puzzle. The smaller the amount of puzzle pieces usually the easier the puzzle is. The larger amount of puzzle pieces the more difficult it usually is. 

What is the price range you want to spend?

It is a good idea to consider how much you want to spend on the gift. Personalised jigsaw puzzles range from $29.95 for the smaller 60 piece puzzles to $59.95 for the larger 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.  

Is the person ‘one time’ puzzler or a collector?

If the person you are giving the jigsaw puzzle to is a one time puzzle maker we would recommend to start with a smaller size puzzle like 180 – 300 pieces. If the person is a collector we would recommend choosing an unusual shape and increase the puzzle pieces to 300 – 1000 pieces.   

What personalised jigsaw puzzle design are you looking for? 

Most jigsaw puzzles are a rectangle shape however we have a large range of different shapes which include the shape of Australia, love heart shapes, love puzzles and oval puzzles.

You also need to assess the picture you want to use on the personalised puzzle. If the image has lots of different colours and contrasts this will be easier to make. If it has a lot of similar colours it will be much more difficult to make.
