Handy Jigsaws – new year, new pastime

19 January 2023 / Handy Jigsaws / By

We’ve added lots of new titles to our free jigsaw library for Kelsall residents. I’m sure our regular borrowers will make the most of the new additions but new puzzlers are also very welcome. New hobbies always make the shortlist for new year’s resolutions, so if it’s on your list, why not impress your friends and tell them you’ve become a dissectologist (the posh name for a jigsaw enthusiast). Most hobbies involve some expenditure but this service is entirely free and ticks lots of boxes for stress reduction and relaxation. After a busy day, why not pour yourself a glass and indulge yourself in the tranquility of puzzling. We have a diverse range of jigsaw images as well as different piece counts and sizes so there’s something to suit all tastes.

See Handy Jigsaws to access the service and browse all our titles including latest additions. We deliver and collect from your doorstep and we can also talk through our range with those without internet access.

Here’s a small selection from our recent additions:

January Sale – 30% off all new jigsaws & accessories

4 February 2023 / Offers, Topical / By

This offer expired at 5pm on 4 February 2023.

According to a recent YouGov poll, the top 3 new year’s resolutions for 2023 are exercising more, losing weight and improving diet. Evidently many of us are keen to improve our physical health but what about our mental wellbeing? Taking up a new hobby is 6th on the list so why not try one of the most tranquil and satisfying hobbies of all….. puzzling. Many people discovered the joy of jigsaws during lockdown and they still tick many boxes on the mental wellbeing checklist.

January 2023 is a good time to start (or re-start) this most comforting and relaxing of pastimes so why not set yourself up with the necessary kit during our new year sale.

Browse our website where you will find 30% off all new jigsaws and puzzle accessories to inspire you.

Make time for jigsaws, they’re great exercise for the mind and should be joint 1st on the YouGov poll.
