New This Week — 4–11 May 2026
Two very different puzzles have landed in the shop this week: a cosy festive classic from one of the most beloved names in Disney artwork, and a breezy outdoors scene from one of Britain's most recognisable puzzle illustrators. Small haul, but a well-matched one.
Disney Mickey & Minnie Trimming the Tree — Schmidt
Disney Mickey and Minnie Trimming the Tree by Thomas Kinkade is a 1,000-piece Christmas puzzle from Schmidt, and it's the kind of image that earns its place on the table every December. Thomas Kinkade — known as the Painter of Light — has a particular gift for capturing warmth and nostalgia, and that quality comes through beautifully in his Disney collaborations. Puzzles from this series are genuinely sought-after collectors' pieces , and it's easy to see why: there's something about the combination of Kinkade's luminous, glowing style and Disney's most iconic characters that feels genuinely special rather than merely licensed.
On the quality side, Schmidt are known for their excellent standards — pieces are individually shaped for a satisfying fit, produced using premium materials, and finished with a linen-texture matt surface that reduces glare while you work. At £15.97, this is a puzzle worth picking up well before the festive season — they have a habit of selling out.
Camping Adventures by Angela Holland — Ravensburger
If a Disney Christmas feels a little out of season right now, Camping Adventures by Angela Holland is bang on the money for May. It's a 500-piece puzzle from Ravensburger, and at £10.97 it sits in that sweet spot of being genuinely good value without feeling like a compromise. Angela Holland is a Nottingham-based illustrator whose work spans puzzle publishing, book illustration, and licensed collaborations with major brands — she has a distinctive style that's warm and detailed without being cluttered, which translates exceptionally well to jigsaw format.
The 500-piece count makes this one of those puzzles that's genuinely accessible for the whole family — achievable in an evening, but not so quick that it feels throwaway. Ravensburger use extra-thick cardboard combined with a fine linen-structured paper to create a glare-free image and give you the best experience possible , which means even the busier, more colourful parts of Angela Holland's artwork will resolve cleanly as you piece it together. A lovely choice if you're heading away for a camping weekend and fancy bringing the table activity with you.
A 500-piece puzzle for May feels almost too well-timed — exactly the right amount of puzzle for a long bank holiday evening.
