Personalised gifts offer a unique way to celebrate special occasions, and AllJigsawPuzzles provides an engaging option for those who enjoy a hands-on experience. Their personalised photo puzzle allows customers to transform meaningful images or locations into interactive keepsakes. I recently tried the customised Hometown Streetview Map Jigsaw Puzzle – London Street map jigsaw – and here’s my detailed experience.
This 400-piece puzzle is designed using a map centred on a chosen address, making it a unique way to appreciate a local area. As someone who had not completed a difficult puzzle in over 25 years (except for puzzles for toddlers with my son), I was both intrigued and slightly intimidated by the challenge. However, with the help of my friend Laura, we turned the experience into an enjoyable weekend activity
We selected a map of our local area in Southwest London, placing my home address at the centre. The puzzle arrived well-packaged and included charming design elements, such as a heart-shaped piece featuring my house and additional pieces that spelt out “I love you.” These thoughtful details added sentimental value, making it an ideal gift for occasions like Valentine’s Day or anniversaries.
The puzzle took us two weekends to complete, and during the process, we rediscovered our neighbourhood, debated street names, and even learnt a few new details about the area. The 1.5mm millboard pieces were sturdy and fit together seamlessly. The absence of a guide image increased the difficulty level, making the completion of the puzzle even more rewarding. Measuring 47 x 32 cm, the finished piece now serves as a decorative and conversational item in my home.
Assembling the puzzle was a pleasant experience, allowing me to relive cherished memories while piecing together the image. The colours were well-reproduced, and the pieces fit securely. This puzzle would make a meaningful gift for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or birthdays, offering a personalised alternative to traditional presents.
All Jigsaw Puzzles excels in craftsmanship: The pieces were made from durable materials, ensuring longevity. The printing quality was sharp, with no noticeable blurring or colour distortion. The unique design elements, such as heart-shaped pieces and the ability to personalise the packaging, set these puzzles apart from generic options. At the end we stuck my personalised photo puzzle with a special transparent glossy puzzle glue to a cardboard and framed it.
The Hometown Streetview Map Jigsaw Puzzle is ideal for those who appreciate geography or want to commemorate a meaningful location.
For anyone seeking a personalised, engaging, and sentimental gift, All Jigsaw Puzzles provides a well-crafted and enjoyable option. Their puzzles encourage quality time and nostalgia while serving as decorative keepsakes once completed. Given the affordable price point – especially with frequent sales – these puzzles offer great value for money.
Whether for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays, or anniversaries, these puzzles make for a heartfelt gift that is both entertaining and meaningful.
