A good place to find your next favourite
Our best selling jigsaw puzzles collection offers a starting point when you would like a little inspiration. Browse the illustrations, see which subjects catch your attention and choose something you will look forward to building.
It can also help when you are buying for someone else. Rather than starting with the whole range, you can compare a selection of designs and think about the recipient’s interests. A familiar subject or an image filled with details they enjoy can make a present feel personal.
Different subjects, different pleasures
Bookshelf, Postcards and Outer Space offer quite different themes within the selection. A person who loves books may enjoy one subject, while someone interested in travel-inspired illustration or the night sky may be drawn to another.
Alpine Holiday and Winter Patchwork bring seasonal choices into the mix. Look at the complete images to see whether the appeal lies in a scene, an arrangement of smaller motifs or the colours of a particular illustration. The right design is the one you can imagine enjoying on your own table.
There is variety in how the artwork comes together, too. Recognisable objects can give you distinct sections to begin, while patterns and broader areas of colour ask for closer comparison. Use those differences to select the type of build you like.
Choose a gift with the person in mind
Best selling jigsaw puzzles can be useful inspiration, but the most thoughtful choice still begins with the recipient. Think about a favourite subject, an artist they admire or the kind of evening activity they enjoy.
If they are a regular puzzler, a different illustration in a familiar format may be a welcome next project. If they prefer fewer pieces to manage, our 500-piece puzzles offer another option. Our 1000-piece range gives you more subjects to compare within that format.
For someone who always likes to have the next puzzle ready, gift bundles bring together several designs or pair a puzzle with illustrated stationery. Each listing explains the included products, helping you choose a set around their interests.
More than an image on a box
A puzzle offers time with its illustration. You notice smaller details, find satisfying connections and gradually see the complete scene emerge. That makes it an enjoyable treat for yourself as well as a gift to someone who treasures a cosy night in.
Elena Essex is a female-led family business working with independent women artists. Their individual styles give our collection its variety, and choosing their designs supports the people behind the artwork you bring home.
A little help choosing
Which puzzle makes a suitable first Elena Essex gift?
Choose a subject you know the person enjoys and check the piece count and finished size. An interest in books, animals, gardens or seasonal illustration can provide a more useful guide than choosing the first design you see.
What if I am unsure about the difficulty?
Look at the amount of repeated colour and the number of recognisable details. Piece count matters, but it does not describe every part of the challenge.
Can I buy more than one design together?
Yes. The bundles collection includes multi-puzzle sets. Compare the contents with the individual designs you have in mind before choosing a combination.
