Who would have thought in these days of electronic gadgets and games that the perennial jigsaw would remain a firm favourite when it comes to choosing gifts? Spanning the age ranges and social profiles, doing a jigsaw remains a relaxing pastime that the whole family can dip in and out of, and enjoy even while watching the TV.
It’s not all picture postcard images now though, as the humble jigsaw has progressed into the modern world of the internet and made it possible to have any favourite photograph turned into a jigsaw, with the picture and personal message on the box.
As a unique present, quickly and easily commissioned online and usually delivered within 5 working days, it takes some beating. It makes for a fabulous Christmas gift idea for friends and relatives at home or abroad, and is a great way to give a lasting commemorative gift featuring the children, a wedding image for anniversaries, holiday memories and other special events and, of course, family pets.
Ryco Originals have been the UK’s leading manufacturer of one off, personalised jigsaws since 2004, and have seen the number of customers wanting these unique gifts increase dramatically as shoppers abandon the high street chains in favour of late night armchair shopping and the ability to personalise presents without spending a fortune.
Ryco’s new website, www.jigsawpuzzlecorner.co.uk, offers customers an easy, step by step process to follow. For customers who don’t have their favourite photograph in a digital format, they even offer the facility to send in an actual photograph for scanning and converting into a jigsaw.
Tony Sinfield, who owns the company, oversees each commission personally, ensuring that every image is checked for quality, and the customer is contacted if there are any possible problems with reproduction. It’s an added personal touch that is appreciated by the public who don’t feel they are dealing with a faceless organisation.
Whether it’s a grandchild, pet, family group, wedding or holiday photograph, Tony and his team can turn it into a jigsaw. Available in 1000, 500 or 200 piece jigsaw formats, there are options suitable for all ages and abilities, with prices starting at £22.99 for a 200 piece personalised puzzle.
A 48 or 63 piece personalised jigsaw for children featuring larger pieces is also available on request.
The company also manufacture jigsaws featuring traditional favourite scenes including local views and old county maps available on the website.
