Today\u2019s jigsaw puzzles<\/span> don\u2019t always look like yesteryears\u2019, and that\u2019s for the best: Not all of us care for scenery, birds and flowers as much as we like Disney and Pixar, for instance. Let\u2019s not be snobs, classic puzzles can be very enjoyable, too. But there\u2019s a whole world that opens up when you realize that puzzle themes can overlap quite a bit with the kind of stuff we care about at TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

Jigsaw puzzles are also a great way to take a break from screens, so anecdotally, they seem fairly popular with people who spend all day staring at one. This makes them a great gift idea, and we are here to help with a bit of guidance.<\/p>\n

As a rule of thumb, smaller piece counts are for children, beginners or people looking for a puzzle snack. Jigsaw puzzles with 1,000 pieces or more typically require more time and experience, not to mention space. That said, there are several other factors that can make a puzzle more or less difficult, so don\u2019t hesitate to check out reviews, too.<\/p>\n

Another important word of warning is that like other hobbyists and collectionists, puzzle lovers can get pretty specific in their tastes. What\u2019s fun to one will be a never-ending bore to another, and the difference can be hard to explain to the uninitiated.<\/p>\n

If you are buying for a puzzle aficionado who\u2019s not you and you are not sure of what they like, maybe get them a gift card<\/a> from a good game store<\/a> or brand<\/a>. Alternatively, you could give them a cool accessory like the puzzle scoop<\/a> or a puzzle box stand<\/a>. But if you are up for the challenge of picking a puzzle, here are a few suggestions to help you find just the right gift for your favorite puzzler slash TechCrunch reader.<\/p>\n
