The last full week of August has brought a properly eclectic haul into the warehouse — postcard-worthy city skylines, a diner booth straight out of small-town America, and the first cosy Christmas puzzle of the season landing cheek-by-jowl with a Halloween one. There's also a fresh batch of cartoon chaos and a much-loved anniversary release in the mix. Here's what's new this week.
City scenes: Edinburgh and Amsterdam
Ravensburger's city-view puzzles are always a safe bet for anyone who'd rather piece together somewhere they've actually been, and this week brings two crackers. Edinburgh – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle is the sort of gift that lands well with anyone who's ever wandered the Royal Mile or looked up at the castle from Princes Street Gardens — a lovely one for a Scotland-loving friend or a homesick expat.
Over in the Netherlands, Amsterdam Bicycle Parking – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle takes a much more offbeat angle — rows and rows of bikes rather than the usual canal-house cliché. It's a fun one for puzzlers who like a bit of visual chaos to sort through, with plenty of near-identical shapes and colours to keep you honest. Both are part of our wider Ravensburger collection, so it's worth a browse if either of these catches your eye.
A taste of Americana
American Diner – 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle is pure nostalgia — neon signage, chrome trim, the whole roadside-stop aesthetic that never really goes out of style. At 500 pieces it's a nicely paced weekend project rather than a marathon, and the sort of bright, busy scene that photographs beautifully once it's framed up.
Cosy nights in and spooky nights out
Yes, it's still August, but Cozy Christmas Retreat – 500 XL Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, illustrated by Steve Read, has arrived early for anyone who likes to get their festive puzzling in well before the rush. The XL pieces make it a comfortable choice for evenings when you want to unwind without squinting at fiddly detail, and Steve Read's warm, lantern-lit style is exactly the kind of scene that makes a good jigsaw feel like a mini escape.
If you'd rather stay in the here and now, Scooby Doo Happy Halloween! – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle is a fun one to have on the table as the nights start drawing in. It's a proper treat for Scooby fans of any age, and a good excuse to get the whole family gathered round a puzzle mat come October.
Cartoon capers
Two very different brands of cartoon fun landed this week. Wasgij Original - The Bake Off! keeps up the series' trademark twist — you're not piecing together the scene on the box, but working out what happens next, which makes it a properly different kind of puzzling challenge for anyone who's mastered the straightforward stuff.
And for fans of packed, funny illustrations, Jan van Haasteren - Hockey Championship is exactly the sort of puzzle his followers come back for — a hockey match tipping into good-natured pandemonium, with dozens of little sight gags to spot as you go.
Jan van Haasteren puzzles reward the puzzlers who take their time — half the fun is in spotting the joke you missed the first three times round.
This one's part of our Falcon & Jumbo collection, alongside plenty more from Jumbo's cartoon and comic-style range if you're after something similar.
A childhood favourite, in the round
Rounding off the week is a genuinely special one: Winnie the Pooh, Circular - 100 Years of Wonder – 500 Piece Round Jigsaw Puzzle marks a century of the Hundred Acre Wood with a format to match the occasion. Round puzzles are a lovely change of pace if you're used to standard rectangles — there's no straight edge to anchor onto, so you end up building outward from the centre instead, which suits this sort of gentle, nostalgic image rather well.
That's the full line-up for this week, but new stock lands regularly, so it's always worth a look at our new arrivals collection to see what else has crept in since. As ever, UK delivery is a flat £3.97 per order, however many puzzles end up in your basket.
