Jiggy Thing Puzzles are custom jigsaw puzzles our family made together. The first, Jiggy Thing Puzzle #001 “Celebration City,” is a 500-piece puzzle of hand-drawn digital art full of small scenes, such as an ant hotel with a “no vacancy” sign. On October 6, 2021, I wrote that we had finished the box design and ordered 50 puzzles. We had made puzzles before, but this was our first custom box, and I was pleased with how it came out when the order arrived (Custom Puzzle Box).
The puzzle was made for the first Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser in November 2021, where it sold alongside our candles. After the sale, Weekly Thing 203 offered the remaining puzzles for $35, printed on Eska board in the custom box. We sold 26 puzzles in 2021 and 10 in 2022. I noted that 2022 offered the same puzzle, so “a number of folks already had it” (Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser Notes).
No second puzzle has been published. My puzzles page has said “Coming Soon…” since at least December 2022.
