JIGGY Puzzles Monthly Membership

What's in the box: Each month brings one 500 piece jigsaw puzzle with an exclusive design by a featured female artist.

JIGGY's Puzzle Club sends one 500 piece jigsaw puzzle each month. Each puzzle shows an exclusive design by a different female artist, and the club's stated goal is to help members discover emerging illustrators from around the world. That focus gives the club a clear identity. The featured artists work in colorful, modern styles, from watercolor and gouache nature scenes to bold travel art and mixed media pieces about current events. If you prefer modern illustration to photographs or classic paintings, the designs will probably appeal to you.

Members also get what JIGGY calls VIP perks, such as early access to new products and chances to interact with the artists. The site does not say how often these happen or what they involve, so treat them as a bonus rather than a reason to join.

A 500 piece puzzle fits comfortably into an evening or a weekend, but experienced puzzlers who want a bigger challenge may find it too easy. JIGGY sells 800 piece puzzles in its regular shop. A gift membership is listed at $34.00, but the main pages do not clearly explain recurring pricing, plan lengths or how to cancel, so check those details before you subscribe. Several shop designs are marked sold out, which suggests that popular art can sell out quickly.
