Celebrate Grandma with These Awesome Puzzle Gift Ideas
Grandma is so awesome. Is there ever a time when we shouldn’t celebrate her? No! It’s not like we need to wait for a holiday or anything, either.
Besides, sometimes the best moments are those we create ourselves by being spontaneous and generous at the same time. Nothing says “I love you” quite like an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.
Here are some great ideas for letting Grandma know she’s special, loved, and appreciated.
Jigsaw Puzzle Subscriptions
A great way to show your appreciation to the matriarch of the family is to give her a little “me time” every month with a puzzle subscription. If she’s a hard-core puzzler, there are options. Get her a 2000-piece 12-month subscription, and she’ll have plenty to do.
What’s cool about the puzzle subscription as a gift is that she can pick which puzzle she’d like from a range of possibilities. Puzzles ship on the 15th of every month, so Grandma will have lots to do if she wants.
If you want something a little less challenging, like a subscription for 300-piece puzzles, that’s fine. Just pick what you want, Buffalo Games does the rest, and Grandma gets blessed with lots of jigsaw puzzle action!
Aimee Stewart Jigsaw Puzzles
Aimee Stewart’s artistic style is bright and fun. Solving a 2000-piece puzzle with her artwork on it is a joy because all her work is so colorful. Brighten Grandma’s day with a little light and life from Aimee Stewart.
A Pacific northwesterner, Aimee Stewart made a name for herself at first in web design but quickly got bored with the limits of graphic design and began experimentally blurring the lines between digital and traditional art with her works.
Eventually, her inimitable work was showcased in galleries and then eventually licensed, both in the U.S. and overseas (primarily in Europe). Since so many of her works appear on puzzles, you and your grandma get to share in the bright colors she chooses for her pieces.
From the colorful bookcase in “Travel Trinkets” to the travel trailer in “The Family Campsite,” Grandma had better get ready for a challenge with all these colorful details.
100-Piece Puzzles
Maybe Grandma isn’t ready to tackle a 2000-piece puzzle. That’s totally fine because there are plenty of alternatives in many themes. Is she a Star Wars fan? You have choices there, from whimsical to dramatic. We’ve even got a NASA-themed 100-piece puzzle.
Let’s say Grandma gets her kicks in the park playing Pokemon Go! with friends. More power to her if that’s how she likes to get exercise. It’s not like there’s a rule that says grandmas have to walk at the mall to get their exercise.
But when she’s tuckered out from all that Pokemon hunting (perhaps she really did catch ‘em all), she can continue the Pokemon theme at home with one of our Pokemon 100-piece jigsaw puzzles.
But What if Grandma is a Crazy Cat Lady?
Trust us; we’ve got something for everyone. It’s not that you’d want to encourage Grandma to own more actual cats. Maybe her feline felicity can be satisfied with a puzzle version instead of the real thing.
From the brilliant works of Charles Wysocki to a puzzle featuring a cat in a basket (and definitely out of the bag), Grandma’s enthusiasm for four-footed furry friends may just be assuaged in the solving of a cat-themed jigsaw puzzle.
Additionally, considering all of the benefits of regularly working jigsaw puzzles as she gets on in years, she’ll be able to age with grace with a puzzle or two in her life.
And What if Grandma Is More of a Dog Person?
Does Grandma want a doggo-themed jigsaw puzzle? These puzzles should really bow-wow her. From the super cute “Dog Crowd” to “Dog Days Summer School,” which shows dogs being dogs on a short wooden dock at the water’s edge, her heart will be full.
Perhaps what Grandma needs most is a little canine companionship in the form of a sweet little 750-piece puzzle.
Family Fun
Okay, but maybe Grandma’s the type of person whose love language is time spent with the people she loves most. Problem solved there, too, because family time is probably one of the things puzzles are best for.
You can order up fun for the entire family with these puzzles, whether you’re looking for a 300-piece puzzle or something more like one of our 2000-piece puzzles.
Sit down with Grandma at her kitchen table and tackle a jigsaw puzzle together as a family. You can even use the little disposable plasticware containers she always saves for sorting pieces.
Maybe she’ll bake a batch of cookies or even her world-famous cherry pie (since she loves cooking for family), and you can munch on goodies as three generations sit down to deliberate on how to bring all those puzzle pieces into order to make the image you see on the box top.
It’ll be a day to remember, in large part because the whole family was there, working together, having fun, and spending time with one another.
Even More Ideas
If you’re still debating what Grandma might like, you can’t go wrong with a bestseller. One of the coolest things about many puzzles these days is just how brightly colored they are.
Considering you’ll be staring at and even attempting to memorize its many details as you solve it, why not make it a fun experience? Bright colors bring joy, which can only be a good thing for Grandma.
Celebrating Grandma
She’s been there for years, through thick and thin, for generations. She gives great advice when you’re asking for it ... or not (which means you’re asking for it). She’s Grandma, and she’s a legend.
Celebrate her today with these great gift ideas, enjoy her company, and help create moments for her. It’s her family that she loves most, and jigsaw puzzles can be a great way to get everyone around the same table to have fun together. What could be better for Grandma?
