I received a free piczzle photo puzzle from piczzle.com in exchange for writing an unbiased review. I have seen this type of photo puzzle before and have even ordered them from other sites. I have always been unimpressed and so I was a little skeptical about this one. However it surpassed all my expectations. I decided to order a puzzle with a photo of my daughter and her birth mother. I thought it would be a nice keep sake for when she was older. There were many options to choose from; Small, Medium or Large, circles, rectangles or heart puzzles. I chose a simple 6 piece rectangular puzzle so my daughter would not have to wait too long before she is able to complete it. It was easy to create and I was even able to add text to the puzzle. I was initially a little disappointed that while the large puzzle sizes could be made out of wood, the small puzzle sizes did not come in that option; they are only available in cardboard. It would seem to me that small numbered puzzle pieces would be for children and that children need wooden puzzles. However, the cardboard pieces that arrived were of very high quality. They are thick and sturdy. Much better quality than that of other companies I have tried. The photo puzzle comes in a beautiful keep sake cardboard box with a high quality print of the photo on it. The puzzle itself was easy to put together and I think my daughter, though still too young to try it now, will enjoy this puzzle for years to come. While these picture puzzles are expensive (when you're not getting it free for an unbiased review) I do think that perhaps the value is terrific. My daughter is Korean and while she sees her birth mother a good amount now, soon we will be leaving Korea and contact will be limited due to distance and language barriers. This photo puzzles, and others I may make for her, will be a fun way to keep memories alive and help bridge some gaps for her. That is priceless to me. I am sure many others would find this high quality product to be a priceless gift for a loved one as well.
