Mother's Day falls on 15th March this year, which gives you just enough time to choose something genuinely thoughtful rather than reaching for the usual bunch of flowers. A jigsaw puzzle is a gift that keeps giving long after the day itself — something to settle into on a quiet afternoon with a cup of tea, away from the noise of everyday life. Here are some of our favourite picks for mums who love a good puzzle.
Something Cheerful and Uplifting
If your mum could do with a bit of brightness this spring, these puzzles bring good vibes along with a satisfying challenge.
Illustrated by Katie Abey, this puzzle is packed with colour, warmth and little encouraging messages — the sort of image that genuinely lifts your mood as you piece it together. It's a lovely way to tell your mum you're thinking of her.
Illustrated by Snowtap, this wonderfully silly puzzle features a cast of animals in chaotic, comedic scenes — perfect for a mum with a good sense of humour who enjoys a puzzle that makes her smile as she works through it.
For Mums Who Love the Outdoors
Gardens, allotments, and the British countryside — these puzzles are ideal for mums who are happiest with their hands in the soil or a view of rolling fields.
Val Goldfinch's charming illustration captures all the joy of a well-loved garden — muddy boots, trusty tools and the satisfaction of growing things. For a mum who's already thinking about what to plant this spring, this one will resonate.
Janice Daughters' illustration of allotment life is busy with detail — vegetable plots, sheds, watering cans and the general cheerful clutter of a plot well tended. A brilliant choice for any mum with an allotment of her own, or who's always fancied one.
For Mums Who Love Animals
Animals are always a winner, and these two puzzles offer very different takes — one delightfully chaotic, one warm and sweet.
Illustrated by Gracie Tapner and Susy Snow, this puzzle brings together a wonderful menagerie of animals in a style that's both detailed and full of personality. It's the kind of image you genuinely enjoy looking at once it's complete.
Lisa Alderson's illustration of puppies at play is an absolute treat for dog-loving mums. At 500 pieces, it's also a slightly more relaxed solve — a good option if she prefers something she can finish in a single sitting.
