New This Week: 13–20 April 2026

Eight new puzzles have landed in the shop this week, and it's a varied bunch — from a cats-in-a-flea-market romp to a tranquil Derbyshire valley, with a good spread across brands, piece counts, and price points. Gibsons leads the charge with five new titles, but there's also a trio of vintage FX Schmid gems that are well worth a closer look. Delivery is £3.97 per order, so it's well worth picking up a couple at once.

Gibsons New Arrivals

Daily Deliveries by Trevor Mitchell — 4 x 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Gibsons) is the kind of set that Mitchell's fans will have been waiting for. He's well known for his popular 4 x 500 puzzle sets , and his nostalgic, authentic scenes depicting farming, rural and family life have a warmth that's genuinely hard to resist. When someone does a jigsaw puzzle they are likely to be absorbed in the picture for long periods — and with four separate images in one box, there's plenty of time to get lost in his world.

Cats and puzzles are a pairing that never goes out of fashion, and Flea Market Moggies by Kate Mawdsley — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Gibsons) looks like a real treat for feline enthusiasts. Mawdsley is probably best known for her cat, dog and Christmas images , and her style — busy, colourful, full of character — translates brilliantly into a 1,000-piece format where every corner of the image rewards a closer look. At £15.47, it's a solid choice if you're after something with genuine personality.

Another Gibsons title this week with a delightfully punny premise: Puss in Boots by Debbie Cook — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Gibsons). Debbie Cook has created her own take on "Puss in Boots" — frolicking felines have found their way into the shoe cupboard. Cook grew up in Yorkshire and trained in graphic design at Harrogate and York Colleges of Art , and her illustrative style has a playful warmth that works especially well with animal subjects.

If you'd prefer to tackle the same Debbie Cook image at a more relaxed pace, the Puss in Boots by Debbie Cook — 500XL Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Gibsons) is available at the same price of £15.47. The pieces in Gibsons' 500XL puzzles are double the size of those in their 500 and 1000 piece puzzles, making them perfect for those who find larger piece counts too tricky, or are experiencing sight or handling difficulties. It's a thoughtful format that opens up puzzling to a much wider audience.

FX Schmid Vintage Finds

Three new titles have arrived from FX Schmid — a heritage brand originally part of the Ravensburger family — and they represent excellent value, all priced at £11.47. If you've not come across FX Schmid puzzles before, they're a bit of a find: classic imagery, solid quality, and the kind of scenes that feel like a proper Sunday afternoon in puzzle form.

Dovedale — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (FX Schmid) takes its subject from one of the most celebrated stretches of the Peak District: a limestone valley of stepping stones, meadows, and dramatic crags that walkers and painters have been drawn to for centuries. For anyone who has strolled along the River Dove on a crisp morning, this one will feel very close to home — and for those who haven't, it makes a fine excuse to plan the trip.

The Village Blacksmith by Kevin Walsh — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (FX Schmid) is a beautifully observed slice of rural British life that feels like a companion piece to the Trevor Mitchell tradition of nostalgic craftsmanship. The forge, the tools, the warm glow of the fire — this is the sort of image that draws you in piece by piece, and rewards patience. A particularly good pick for anyone who enjoys puzzles with atmosphere.

Rounding out the FX Schmid trio is Vintage Tea Party — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (FX Schmid), which does exactly what it says on the tin — and then some. Lace tablecloths, tiered cake stands, fine china, a garden setting: this is unashamedly cosy puzzling, and there's not a thing wrong with that. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who takes their tea seriously.

A Christmas One in April

Yes, we know — it's April. But serious puzzlers plan ahead, and the Christmas Collage — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Wonder Forge) is the kind of festive puzzle that's actually a pleasure to do outside the rush of December. At £12.47 it's keenly priced, and a collage format — typically packed with dozens of smaller Christmas scenes and motifs — gives you plenty of variety to work through without a single large area of flat colour to battle with. Worth grabbing while it's in stock.
