About this deal

GREAT GIFT – Puzzles improve your mental health by providing a digital detox and a mindfulness hobby. The best Christmas gift for grandparents, friends, family, couples, anniversaries and birthdays. Over 250 puzzle designs in the Gibsons collection You may be surprised to read this (or not if you've stayed up to date with our blogposts), but Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is well known to be an avid puzzler. The Queen is famous for her preference to puzzles without a guide picture, as she believes this makes the puzzle too easy. The Queen is also a member of the British Jigsaw Puzzle Library, and is believed to frequently borrow them for those winter stays at Sandringham. It was very challenging because it's an abstract piece and that's what I spend a significant amount of time doing," he added.

I think I'd be the one to solve the mystery, because I'm obsessed with puzzles. Every Christmas my family gets a 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, and it really triggers me to see it incomplete. So once it's started, I have to just finish it, or else I get angry. It's a weird OCD thing for me. We do it every year, and it drives us crazy so we're always like, never again – this is the last year. Then someone, usually me, will buy one." Tom Holland, the English actor known for his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently showed off his love for jigsaw puzzles on The Graham Norton Show. Not only did he entertain himself with the challenging task of piecing together a puzzle, but he also gave his fans a glimpse of his impressive biceps. All of us, have been fortunate enough to have been alive during the reign of our dear departed Queen Elizabeth II. What a remarkable and selfless monarch she has been. Since becoming our Queen at the young age of 25, due to the premature passing of her father King George VI, she has devoted over 70 years of her life to serving her people. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the 27 year-old singer said: 'People come in and expect me to be listening to music and drinking alcohol and getting pumped for the show. And I am just sitting there in silence doing a jigsaw puzzle.'And so good is the Queen at jigsaws that she insists there is no picture on the box for her to follow. That makes it too easy, she says. This is one of my finished puzzles as you can see. It's actually framed because I framed them all," he said. In our commemorative puzzle, we have tried to capture some of the joyous moments of her life, from her childhood, as a bright-eyed carefree young woman, through her military service in the Second World War, to her coronation ceremony, and beyond through the many years of her reign. She will be lovingly remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother as well as for her dedication and resilience, and passion for her horses, her corgis and of course we, her cherished subjects. PUZZLE SIZE – Puzzle is 68x48.5cm when complete; Box dimensions 34x24x6cm. Also includes artwork poster inside for you to reference whilst you piece together your lovely jigsaw puzzle

The YouTuber-turned chart-topper admits he’s a total geek when it comes to just relaxing. “I love puzzles and games. I love 500 or 1,000-piece jigsaws, just with random pictures like London Bridge or something." Looking for a cost-effective way to emulate the lifestyles of the rich and famous?
