We love Christmas! We love it so much that our trees were decorated before the candles in the pumpkins had burnt away! 4th November and we were decking our halls, hanging stockings, and subscribing to the Hallmark Channel for 8 weeks of festive cheese!
The only downside to extending Christmas is the delay to the start of advent. Calendars filled with choccies, pictures, even dice and riddles! The start of every day in December is way more fun than any other month of the year.
And one that is definitely worth waiting for is the GIBSONS CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE JIGSAW PUZZLE ADVENT CALENDAR!
Building Christmas
The box itself feels like a present! Luckily, removing the sleeve doesn’t diminish the gorgeous illustrations by artist, Claire McElfatrick, which are reproduced beneath it. And it includes 24 little windows which conceal a fun little jigsaw to complete each day!
Inside the selection box itself is a mixture of 6 different shaped puzzles – stars, gingerbread men and more. And each one will range in size from 42-60 pieces. The pieces are unusually shaped (to enable the festive shaped puzzles to be formed) and they are a lovely quality. They also have a pattern on the reverse (more on that below!), but you’ll definitely know which way up they should go.
Having a festive themed jigsaw puzzle every day was enough of a treat for us. But what we originally didn’t realise, and what is even better, is the lasting feature of this adventure. The box includes glue and ribbon so that when we finish a puzzle we can stick it together and it becomes a decoration to hang on our tree! We love the sustainability of this and I am absolutely not going to admit to buying an extra Nordic pine just so that we can give them a special place in our home this Christmas!
Not that I think you will but, if you get stuck on any puzle, the inside of the box sleeve contains the solutions for each day, but hopefully you won’t need to sneek a peek!
Final Thoughts
We love jigsaw puzzles, and this Gibsons Calendar is such a lovely way to spend a few minutes together each day. We tend to save this calendar for late afternoon when the Christmas lights are twinkling and the fire is crackling. Sitting with our son and building a little puzzle that he can hang up the very next day feels like a real treat. Advent chocolates are delicious, don’t get me wrong. I’m salivating at the thought of supplementing my December breakfast with a delicious chocolate snowman. But a few chews and it’s gone (well on my lips anyway! At over 40 the consequence of choccy chomping tends to hang around the tum and the hips far longer!). But this Gibsons puzzle-based advent adventure endures for al the best reasons. It creates 24 ornaments that we get to keep and hang up at Christmas every year!
