After years of skipping out on family jigsaw puzzle time for TV reruns, I finally discovered the appeal of putting together all those pieces. Sure, it's an entertaining and gratifying activity, but puzzling can also act as a form of mindful meditation. Zoned into a jigsaw puzzle of New York City, I found myself uncharacteristically calm and focussed on the present.
So instead of gifting my loved ones yet another hat and gloves set this year (unless they specifically ask for one), I'm sending them their own puzzle to do — whether they need a new hobby or something to help them find a moment of calm.
From classic holiday scenes, city scapes, and even mouthwatering snacks, these 14 jigsaw puzzles are sure to please.
