There’s magic in the air this time of year, and for my family, that magic isn’t just about twinkling lights—it's about the puzzle table! I grew up in a house where, as soon as the weather turned cool, a designated puzzle-in-progress was a permanent fixture in our living room. It was an open invitation: a piece here, a section there, a shared moment of concentration and collaboration. Today, I've proudly carried that tradition into my own home. There’s nothing like the satisfying click of two pieces fitting perfectly as a soundtrack to a cozy evening.
And when it comes to gorgeous, high-quality, and truly engaging designs, eeBoo is the brand that always wins our family’s heart. Their puzzles are not just challenging; they are works of art! That's why I've included a few of our absolute favorite eeBoo delights in my official Holiday Gift Guide this year.
Here's a closer look at the stunning eeBoo products that are ready to bring some joyful, device-free downtime to your home:
1. The Sweetest Challenge: Christmas Cookies 500 Piece Round Puzzle
Forget the standard square grid puzzle as it’s time to go round! This Christmas Cookies 500 Piece Round Puzzle designed by Bex Parkin is like diving into a beautiful, buttery and brightly frosted fantasy. The round format is a fantastic twist on the traditional puzzle, offering a new kind of challenge that the whole family will love circling up to tackle.
Why I love it: The colors are vibrant, the image is utterly delightful (and might make you crave a gingerbread man!), and the quality of the pieces is top-notch.
Bonus Holiday Cheer! eeBoo makes connecting with the artist part of the fun! On the back of the box, you’ll find a scannable QR code that lets you see other amazing designs by Bex Parkin AND access her personal music playlist. That's right—you can literally listen to the tunes that inspire the artist while you put her gorgeous creation together. It’s a delightful, immersive puzzle experience!
2. A Winter Masterpiece: Christmas Songbirds 1000 Piece Puzzle
Ready to settle in for a long winter’s night? The Christmas Songbirds 1000 Piece Puzzle is waiting!
Designed by the incredibly talented Hazel Jarvis, this puzzle is a breathtaking wintery scene filled with cardinals, chickadees, and festive flora. It's the perfect size for dedicated puzzlers or a fun week-long project for the entire family during the holiday break.
Why I love it: The detail is exquisite. Finding the perfect spot for a brilliant red cardinal or a delicate snowflake section is incredibly rewarding. This design is truly stunning and will make a beautiful piece to display (before you carefully take it apart, of course!). And, on the back of the puzzle, they list out the different birds in the scene if you are a bird lover or wondered what each bird was. My oldest found this extremely fascinating as she had not heard of a few of them and quickly went to Google them to learn more about the birds and where you would be able to spot them, in hopes some travel near us in the Northeast.
More Music for Your Mind! Just like its cookie counterpart, this box also features a scannable QR code for a true "Puzzle & Play" experience. You can explore more of Hazel Jarvis's beautiful work and listen to her hand-picked playlist while you work. It’s the perfect way to set a calm, creative, and joyful mood as you settle in to work on this beautiful and challenging jigsaw puzzle.
3. Time for Old-Fashioned Fun: Gilded Edge Christmas Decorations Playing Cards
Sometimes, you need a break from piecing together tiny landscapes and just want to shout, "Go Fish!"
The Gilded Edge Christmas Decorations Playing Cards from eeBoo are here for all your card-game needs! This set includes two traditional decks that are beautifully illustrated with a festive holiday theme and feature elegant, gilded edges.
Why I love it: They are absolutely beautiful to look at and handle! They add a touch of sophisticated fun to classic games like Crazy Eights, Rummy, or even a competitive round of Poker. They are the perfect, portable fun for small gatherings or just passing the time after a big holiday meal. And they fit in stockings, making them the perfect stocking stuffer idea this holiday season.
The eeBoo Gift Guide Verdict
eeBoo puzzles are more than just a pastime, they are an investment in quality family time and mindful relaxation.
They make a thoughtful gift for so many people on your holiday shopping list:
Homebound Seniors: Puzzles are a fantastic way to keep their mind sharp and fill the hours in a day with beautiful, meaningful activity.
Families Seeking Connection: Put down the phones and devices and work on a puzzle instead! It’s a wonderful way to chat, laugh, and work towards a common goal together.
Snow Day / Sick Day Saviors: Keep a few of these puzzles on standby! They are the perfect activity to keep kids happily engaged when they're stuck indoors and come to you to ask what they can do. Puzzles provide hours of challenging fun without the need for you to provide the entertainment. And, once you pull out a puzzle to do and start working on, you will find others will want to join in and help, in hopes for holding on the last piece so that they can place in and complete the puzzle.
Ready to give the gift of cozy, creative, and unplugged fun this year? You simply can’t go wrong with eeBoo jigsaw puzzles. There are so many to choose from and for every level of puzzle enthusiast.
