A personalised photo puzzle turns a favourite picture into something you do together. You upload a photo, we print it on a glossy jigsaw puzzle, and the person who gets it rebuilds the memory piece by piece. At Gribzy the puzzles come in seven sizes, from 30 to 192 pieces, with prices from 10.90 €. Personalisation is included and we ship across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Why a photo puzzle makes a good Christmas gift

A puzzle is a present and an evening activity in one. On Christmas Eve or the quiet days after, the whole family sits round the table, and the picture slowly appears: last summer at the lake, the new baby, the dog in the snow, grandparents on their wedding day.

A few Christmas ideas that always go down well:

• The family photo of the year for grandparents who live far away. They get to look at every face for an hour, not just a second.
• A “guess where we are going” puzzle. Print a photo of the hotel, the city or the concert stage and let the receiver find out by building it.
• A puzzle in the stocking. The smaller sizes fit in a stocking or a shoebox gift.
• A gift for someone who has everything. Nobody else will give them the same picture.

The sizes at a glance

Puzzles for children

The 30, 35 and 64-piece puzzles have bigger pieces and suit small hands. A child who builds a picture of themselves, their pet or their grandma will ask to do it again and again.

Puzzles for adults and families

The 110, 120 and 192-piece puzzles take longer and work well with detailed photos: a group shot, a city view or a wedding picture. The two largest are 40 cm wide, big enough to frame afterwards.

Other occasions for a photo puzzle

A puzzle is not only a Christmas gift. It fits just as well at these times of year:

• Birthdays. A puzzle of the birthday child’s best moments of the year, or a “you were this small” baby photo for a grown-up birthday.
• Valentine’s Day (Sõbrapäev, 14 February). A photo of the two of you, or a picture with a message like “Will you marry me?” that only appears at the end.
• Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The children’s photo for parents, or a scanned children’s drawing turned into a puzzle.
• Weddings and anniversaries. The wedding photo as a puzzle for the couple’s first quiet evening at home.
• Pregnancy and baby announcements. An ultrasound or a “big sister” T-shirt photo. The family works out the news as they build.
• Summer cottage and holiday evenings. A rainy-day activity with photos from last year’s trip.
• Kindergarten and school. A group photo for the class to build together at the end of the year.
• Get well soon. A long, calm activity for someone who has to rest.

Tips for a great photo puzzle

1. Use the original file. Photos saved from Facebook or WhatsApp are compressed and print soft.
2. Choose a busy picture. A photo with colour and detail everywhere is easier and more fun to build than one with a big plain sky.
3. Match the size to the person. Too hard and it stays in the box; too easy and it is over in five minutes.
4. Keep faces away from the very edge. A small part of the picture is lost at the border.
5. Order early before holidays. Every puzzle is made to order.

Add a card

A puzzle is even better with a few words. You can design your own photo greeting card or choose one of our birthday cards.

Frequently asked questions

How many pieces should a personalised puzzle have?

For children aged 3 to 5, choose 30 or 35 pieces. For ages 5 to 8, 64 or 96 pieces. Older children and adults enjoy 110 to 120 pieces, and the 192-piece puzzle is the best choice for a family evening.

What photo works best on a jigsaw puzzle?

A sharp, colourful photo with plenty of detail across the whole picture. Large areas of one colour, such as a clear sky or a white wall, make the puzzle harder, which can be fun for adults but frustrating for small children.

Can I add text or a date to the puzzle?

Yes. Write the names, date or message you want in the What should we personalise? box on the product page and upload your photo. Personalisation is included in the price, and we check every design before printing.

Is a photo puzzle a good Christmas gift?

Yes. It is a gift and an activity at the same time, and it fits easily in a stocking or a parcel locker. Order early in December, because every puzzle is made to order.

Do you deliver photo puzzles to Latvia and Lithuania?

Yes. We ship from Estonia to parcel lockers and addresses across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
