The last 12 months have been a bit different, and we thought we’d continue the trend – instead of chocolate Easter eggs, why not try one of these fabulous gift ideas for your loved ones this Easter?
For the Little Ones
Springtime is coming and we are loving it! We’re sure your children will be loving it too, and now with our brand-new Wonderful Wildlife children’s puzzle, they can enjoy Spring even from inside. This 100-piece puzzle is just the trick for teaching your little ones about the natural world. Tucked up beneath the vast green land are some furry friends catching up on some well-earned sleep. Whilst outside the day is young, and the wonders of nature graze the flower-lined meadow on a beautiful summer’s day.
It’s easy to convince children to eat chocolate, but convincing them to eat their vegetables is a bit more tricky. This is where our Crunch Bunch uzzles come in! A nourishing set of eight 2-piece puzzles that aim to make fruits and vegetables fun. Slide open the box and discover amazing avocado, brilliant broccoli and all their vitamin-packed friends. Perfect for toddlers aged 18 months and up, they will love the extra-large pieces, bright colours and delightful illustrations.
Alternatively, drift off into a dream world with our simple match-the-pairs game, Sweet Dreams Memory Game. Inside are 36 tiles and players must match the pairs which include characters from the corresponding puzzle in the Little Gibsons range. This game is ideal for children aged 3 and up, especially if they love magical Unicorns and friendly Llamas! Whether you are out and about or looking for some fun at home, this pocket-sized game will provide entertainment whilst developing important memory and observation skills.
For the Traditional Puzzlers
Our 1000-piece Tempting Treats puzzle may not be chocolate, but it sure is sweet! It looks like Anne cannot turn her back for a minute with her furry companions lurking around her kitchen! Milly the Golden Retriever has managed to find her freshly iced cupcakes, but it looks like Dougie the Tabby might just get to them first! This jigsaw is painted by the talented Claire Comerford.
Or maybe you do want a delicious treat, without the calories? We have the perfect solution, with our 1980s Sweet Memories, a 500-piece jigsaw in a fabulous collectable tin. New confectionery brands in the 80s included Terry’s Bitz and Pyramint, Rowntree’s Black Magic bar, Cadbury’s Wispa and the novelty interlocking plastic container of ipso sweets to be found in Woolworths stores. On the way out were familiar friends like Fry’s Five Centre, Waifa, Bar Six and the boxed assortment Weekend. Whatever your favourite, you’ll be sure to enjoy piecing this lovely puzzle together.
Another Springtime favourite, the overgrown garden in our 500-piece puzzle In The Garden is the perfect playground for the wonderful wildlife that can be found in our fields. From butterflies to blue tits, everyone has come to enjoy the flourishing foliage. You can piece this puzzle together while watching the same wildlife outside your window.
The White Logo Collection
Our White Logo Collection our range of design-led jigsaw puzzles especially for adults. This Easter, why not try something different with our Brutalist Conservatory 1000-piece jigsaw. This prickly puzzle portrays a glass-roofed sanctuary filled with tropical plants, leafy trees and lots and lots of cacti. Provided by the Eye for London Studio, it depicts the conservatory that wraps around London’s iconic Barbican, known for its Brutalist architecture and contemporary music concerts, theatre performances, film screenings and art exhibitions.
Another of our brand-new puzzles to our collection is the 636-piece Dream Picnic, which has all dreaming of lockdown lifting and seeing friends in the sun again. Adorned with sweet treats and even a glass of vino, this puzzle is a mouth-watering treat for both your eyes and stomach! This design has been illustrated by Bethany Lord, whose work explores travel, lifestyle and the world through bold digital colour palettes and different layering techniques, to create depth and detail.
Of course, you could always gift your loved ones one of our Made For You by Gibsons personalised puzzle, featuring your own favourite image. Something seasonal, or not, they will surely treasure this memory for years to come – much longer than a chocolate egg!
