When it comes to fun things to do at home, we are starting to see a big resurgence of home based, analogue games and hobbies, not least the humble jigsaw puzzle!

A historical link to the puzzles of Victorian past, a whimsy is a special puzzle piece cut into recognisable shapes such as a car or butterfly. Often designed to match the jigsaws theme, whimsies add a fun and playful twist to our puzzles!
