Limited Edition

Gibsons Christmas Puzzle Limited Edition 2023

I love Marcello Corti's work and he makes a welcome return to Gibsons. He painted several Christmas puzzles before Tony Ryan took over for a few years (and did a fantastic job).

Marcello is now back, and what an amazing puzzle this is. Look at the detail in the faces. There are children riding donkeys, Santa driving a tractor, and it even looks like Sherlock Holmes is blasting out some Christmas carols!

You can find more Gibsons Christmas puzzles on Amazon here.

10. Moving Day
Gibsons Jigsaw puzzle
by Steve Crisp

Steve Crisp is one of Gibsons’ most popular artists, and I like this one because it is a bit different. Not your typical moving day, and the kids on the sofa surely aren’t helping!

Do you know who the guy is with the red coat?

I’ll tell you at the end of the page if you haven’t figured it out yet.

You can see more art from Steve Crisp here.
It is available from the Gibsons shop here.

9. Lynmouth Living
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Kevin Walsh

No Gibsons puzzle selection is complete without a Kevin Walsh puzzle. Kevin has painted puzzles for Gibsons for over 25 years, and this collection of 50s/60s cars is another classic jigsaw puzzle.
You can buy the puzzle here from the Gibsons Amazon store.

Wings over Windsor Gibsons jigsaw puzzle by Matthew Emery

8. Wings over Windsor
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Matthew Emeny

Mathew Emery is a fantastic artist, and he has painted a Lancaster and two Spitfires from the ‘Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ flying over Windsor Castle.

I love the effort Matthew puts into the background for the puzzler. Who likes empty blue sky & green grass! See more about the puzzle and find out more about Matthew Emeny here, and buy the puzzle from the Gibsons Amazon store here.

7. Seaside Souvenirs
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Tony Ryan

Tony Ryan is an absolute classic Gibsons artist. He always combines the most incredible, colourful detail with a personal touch of nostalgia.

This one brings back happy memories of me on Brighton Pier trying to win a soft toy at the Racing Dolphins stall!

Available here on the Gibsons Amazon store

Catastrophe Cottage Gibsons jigsaw puzzle by Kate Mawdley

6. Catastrophe Cottage
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Kate Mawdsley

So pleased to see this one, as it is the first developed by Demi at Gibsons. It is also the first by the artist Kate Mawdley, who I had the pleasure of meeting at various art fairs.

The same family of cats take over four rooms in the cottage, and it’s fascinating to see what different antics each cat gets up to in each room. Look out for the hidden puns and the poor dogs looking through the window.

5. Treats that Built Britain
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle

by Robert Opie

Robert Opie’s puzzles are very different from the traditional painted Gibsons puzzle. They are a photograph of actual nostalgic packaging, expertly put together by Robert. I know this takes him hours to shoot, months to prepare and decades to collect!

This is a real nostalgic treat of old chocolate bars and sweet wrappers. Some, like Crunchie, are very different, but others, such as Kit Kat still very similar today.

4. Hetty’s Hats
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Linda Jane Smith

Linda is a legend of Gibsons puzzles.
Every year, her colours get brighter, there’s more detail and, dare I say it, her puns get funnier!

Her cats, of course, still have their unique faces. My favourites are the married couple with a mouse on top of the groom’s hat.

3. Verity’s Vintage Shop
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Janice Daughters

What a wonderful lady the artist Janice Daughters is! I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her at the Spring Fair in Birmingham, and she has now become one of Gibsons best selling artists.

Her latest painting is a real treasure trove of nostalgia, colour and detail.
A classic Gibsons puzzle!

2. Bright Lights & Big Cities
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Val Goldfinch

Seeing is believing, and you have to look really closely at this puzzle to see the incredible detail Val has included. Newspaper cuttings, maps and the amount of colour in what could have been a collection of dull buildings is fantastic. Just the Manchester section alone could be its own puzzle!

1. School Days
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Trevor Mitchell

Trevor started with Gibsons in 2004 and his legendary series of Four Puzzles in a Box began in 2005.
His latest set takes us back to our school days. The cheerful lollipop lady, the school play (memories of my first and last stage performance as Humpty Dumpty) and our favourite playground games, including marbles!

It was fun chatting with Trevor about the joys of having those small milk bottles at school – and who was the quickest to drink them! As always, Trevor catches those precious moments from our childhoods and brings them to life.
You can see more of Trevor Mitchell‘s work here, and the puzzle is now in stock at the Gibsons Amazon store.

Honourable Mentions

When ten choices is just not enough!

Honourable mention No.1

Fancy Dress Fun
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Debbie Cook

I love that Debbie comes up with her own unique ideas of what she wants to paint for a jigsaw puzzle.

It absolutely shows in her work, and you can see the real joy on the children’s faces.

You can see more of Debbie Cook‘s art here, and buy the jigsaw puzzle from the Gibsons Amazon store here.

Honourable mention No.2

Exploring Europe
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Maria Rabinky

Maria’s maps are full of detail & colour. This one follows her previous paintings of London, Britain and the World – in the same style and amount of incredible detail.
Look out for Santa Claus!
The puzzle is available here from the Gibsons Amazon store.

Honourable mention No.3

Birdsong by the Stream
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Greg Giordano

Greg is a fantastic painter, and although he paints everything from tractors to snowmen, his bird puzzles have always been very popular.

Some of Greg’s puzzles have been in the Gibsons range for years because they were too popular to stop making!

The puzzle is available here from the Gibsons Amazon store.

Honourable mention No.4

Corners of the World
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Hebe Studio

Rhi James is a new artist to Gibsons, currently living in Australia!
There are four 500 piece puzzles, including the magical Rainbow Mountain in Peru & Australia’s iconic Dove Lake.
The new box looks really fresh & modern too. I especially like the colour!
You can buy the puzzle here from the Gibsons Amazon store.

Honourable mention No.5

Jungle Dream
Gibsons jigsaw puzzle
by Catalina Estrada

Catalina is from Columbia, now based in Barcelona and is ‘passionate about colours’ – which we can clearly see in her first Gibsons puzzle!

Definitely one for those puzzlers up for a challenge with its symmetrical design.

You can buy the puzzle here from the Gibsons Amazon store.

Moving Day – who is that lovely guy in red?

The lovely guy in the red coat carrying the chair with the two kids (without the cap) is Steve Crisp!
