I am mind-blown right now, in a great way, by a puzzle. This Gray Malin Beach Puzzle is not only a beautiful work of art, it’s double-sided!!! Is this concept new to anyone else?
I’m so excited about it because this is exactly the kind of new challenge we need in 2021 — a beautiful double-sided puzzle seems just about stay-at-home, holiday-family-time perfect to me!
Not Your Ordinary Jigsaw: Unique Puzzles For Kids & Adults
So if you are puzzled on what makes a great gift for all ages, can be done while we all stay-at-home, will entertain for hours, quietly, can be done solo or as a family, and you might even love so much you glue together and hang as art? Puzzles. All the puzzles, not just my favorite double-sided one. That one, ones that result in layers, and take new shapes, and a few more favorites, right here!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
1 | Starry Wave
This is the one I ordered as a gift for one of my daughters who loves both of the pieces of art that are combined to make this beautiful puzzle! I have no doubt this one will end up on her wall, and also that she’ll prefer to do it independently…so I’ll keep going to find one we can work on as a family and let her have the thrill of the Starry Wave all to herself.
2 | Boobs
You have to click through to see what this puzzle is actually called, and why it has me cracking-up laughing. In seriousness though, I LOVE that they are all different, and perfectly imperfect, and all the colors, and so much fun!!! Makes a great girlfriends’ gift for 100 reasons, all 252 pieces of boobiful beautiful pieces of it!
3 | Nevertheless She Persisted
Made in the USA, from recycled paper, this 1,000-piece beauty features the faces of 24 inspirational women and has quotes from them strewn throughout!
4 | Inspirational Women
Inspirational women and a little note about them, from around the world. I love that this one is a circle — like the world, and because it’s a little different and fun in that regard. It may be a little more challenging, too, without those helpful corner pieces.
5 | Pattern Puzzle
This one might make some dizzy, but my youngest — who loves nothing more than a challenge, a pattern and a puzzle, and all the pretty colors — will love it so much!
6 | Gray Malin Double Sided Beach
It is double-sided and beautiful, the end. Wait there’s more — there’s also a Hawaii Beach, Italy and Snow. Just wow!
7 | Safari
This one is particularly fun, in addition to its beauty, for its finished shape and because it’s self-storing box is equally as beautiful!
8 | Atlas
This one is super-cool in a super-complicated, yet black and white kinda way…it layers. This might be my favorite one to see scattered all over our coffee table for as long as it takes to put together, all those beautiful black and white pieces!
9 | Street Food
This is a fun one to travel the world while we’re all staying put at home, and fittingly, finishes in the round! What I would give for an actual real life world tour of street food right now…that would be amazing! Goals for 2021 — for now, this fun puzzle.
10 | Hellraiser Impossible Puzzle
This legitimately looks IMPOSSIBLE!!!! And I love it! All the colors, all the layers. It gives us two secret starting pieces, so there’s hope — I feel like this is the metaphor of all metaphors, in the shape of a puzzle. And the perfect way to keep kids off a screen and busy.
11 | Geode Puzzles
These come in blue, pink and multi, and look just like real agate! They are unique and fun, and great for those who love shiny sparkly things!
I love all of these puzzles, each one more than the next! Puzzling is cathartic, and helps focus your mind off of all the things, and on to just one simple beautiful task! Cheers to more of that kind of family time this season!
