Who doesn’t love a good puzzle!?  Little kids love em, they’re perfect for a rainy day family activity, and you even see them on tables at nursing homes.  They’re ageless, and when you put a friendly picture on top, there is something so satisfying and heart-warming about seeing pieces of something familiar all come together.  I’m so excited to show you the professional and oh-so-personal puzzles from Piczzle Photo Puzzles!

The process of ordering took less than 5 minutes.  I really appreciated not having to take time to orient pictures, resize, crop, and troubleshoot.  I simply chose what size I would like, the number of pieces (large or small), and uploaded my picture.  Everything was taken care of and it couldn’t have turned out any better.  You could also choose to do a wood puzzle, but mine here is a cardboard base, like the generic puzzles you think of and have probably handled before.

The slick packaging is impressive and crisp, and the box is the perfect size!  I’m usually bothered by big bulky puzzle boxes that feel oversized compared to the tiny pieces it holds.  This box is just right–slim and thin, sturdy, and even though it looks like the front picture has been pasted on instead of printed, the choice to adhere an actual photo print instead of a color copy really makes a difference for the better.

The pieces have clean and smooth edges that join together easily and don’t shift apart.  You know that frustrating feeling when your puzzle gets bumped and pieces that were once joined all slide apart?  Not even a problem with Piczzle puzzles.  I can tell these pieces were made from premium grade cardboard–they don’t feel flimsy at all, and I’m not worried about the picture peeling up on the edges over time.

The top surface isn’t exactly glossy–its more of a textured matte, so I’m thinking of painting a modge-podge finish over the top of each piece to make it shine.  My puzzle here is the Medium 8.5″ x 11″ size, and I think the size is perfect.  I chose to do smaller pieces, so there are 48 in total, but you could also get this same size (also for $21.95) but with smaller pieces and have a 16-piece puzzle.  And aren’t these colors vibrant?  The puzzles are printed using an advanced digital printing technique, so the colors are deep and rich.

How sweet to be able to put your own picture into a puzzle!  This could be a super fun family reunion activity, a gift to a friend, a birthday surprise for a child, or even a fun way to show your sweetheart you love them!  Personalized gifts always go a long way.

Piczzle also gives you the option of adding text or fun colorful borders to your puzzles if you feel like getting a little creative.  Have you thought of something fun you could put on a puzzle?
