– Elena Essex Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults 1000 - Bird Paradise/Jigsaws/Jigsaw Puzzle/Puzzle Presents for Women/Bird Rainbow Gradient Puzzle/Round Puzzles Diameter 68cm

I've tried numerous puzzle brands and Elena Essex puzzles are really up there in terms of quality. Of course the designs are beautiful, but it's so important that the puzzle experience matches up to that and it really does with Elena's puzzles.The pieces are matte, with a really nice soft touch which makes them a joy to handle, as well as the matte finish making it easier to see the image, rather than puzzles being too glossy which can reflect the light. (As puzzlers will know, a pet peeve!).There is a great range of piece shapes which really helps the puzzling experience as there are no false fits and the puzzle fits so nicely together.Adding to the high quality feel is the addition of foil on this puzzle, so beautiful and I felt very fancy when I was puzzling the shiny pieces.I love how unique this puzzle is for Christmas, rather than another Santa or red and greens as you may expect, the colour scheme is gorgeous and original but felt just as christmassy to puzzle.I recommend buying this puzzle for yourself as well as everybody you know! Elena Essex puzzles were the puzzles that got me back into this hobby in a big way as an adult. They are quite simply a joy!

The media could not be loaded.  Fantastic quality and gorgeous artwork. Love that the picture is unconventional, makes it great for several people to work on different parts, and you don't have to start with the edges. Lovely surprise that the gold is actually shimmering, and a few pieces have raised relief to the touch. Highly recommend, will be regifting it to someone else next Christmas as it's sturdy enough to be used many times, and will check out more of Elena's designs.

This gorgeous Elena Essex puzzle perfectly captures the whole twinkly joy of bringing some extra cheer and colour into the home at Christmas time. It is my favourite kind of puzzle: bright colours, clear shapes, not too difficult, high quality pieces that hold together well and no puzzle dust. The box alone is so beautiful that it’s part of my Christmas display :) This would be a great one to do with your family, especially if you have beginners in your group. If you’re buying one for a gift, get two because you won’t want to give it away once you have it in your hands.

Gorgeous colour and good quality jigsaw

As a frequent puzzler, this was my first Elena Essex puzzle and it won’t be my last! Great quality pieces, perfect fit throughout and an amazing original image. The gold detail on this makes it even more premium and unique. I absolutely love it!!

I love my puzzles… I puzzle every day…. These are 100% top notch pieces. Joyously colourful with just the right level of challenge. I can’t recommend them highly enough. 💙💙💙

Absolutely LOVED this. Stunning quality, beautiful to handle well cut pieces, wonderful colours and a stunning design. Not excruciatingly difficult, not so easy that you get bored, it was a tactile and visual delight. Highly recommended to do with someone or on your own. Will be ordering again.

I haven't completed this puzzle yet, it's in my to do pile. But I already own Woodland Magic, so I know the quality will be outstanding :)
