Christmas is Coming and Moonlit Magic complement each other, as they are both finished in a stylish grey and purple colour scheme, making them ideal Christmas products to display in gift shops. Gibsons’ Limited Edition Jigsaw Puzzle is back once again, and Secret Santa is the 17 th puzzle in the popular series. Finished with gold foiling, this 1,000-piece puzzle was painted by talented artist Tony Ryan and comes with a serial-numbered certificate, making it the ideal gift for collectors. As with all Gibsons jigsaws, the beautifully illustrated pieces are made from the highest-quality 100 per cent recycled board and are therefore a pleasure to work with again and again.
