Figuring out what to get someone for Christmas or any other occasion such as a birthday can be quite difficult and very often we find ourselves purchasing the tried and tested kinds of presents such as chocolates, gift vouchers or occasionally presents that end up being re-gifted. But what happens when you think,
“Something unique is what that person would want for a present?”
Well at first it seems as if everything you try to find online or within shops are fairly standard items and unique and bespoke presents are all too often quite difficult to come by - however a simple bit of research eventually lead me to a rather minimal and simple website entitled “myphotopuzzle” Of course I had wanted a Christmas present for someone that was going to be both bespoke and unique, one of a kind that is the only one in existence.
Now the interesting thing about myphotopuzzle is just how easy it is to use and upon visiting the website with it’s .co.uk domain name you could be forgiven for thinking that it is based within England or somewhere within The UK, but looks can be deceiving and the .co.uk domain on there website is purely there because it is for the UK website. Although at the bottom of the website it does say “choose your country”. Regardless though myphotopuzzle are actually based in Germany and quite a lot of other photo printing labs are based in Germany. SAAL Digital are another print lab who are also based in Germany, a trend perhaps that high quality print labs are based in Germany? Who knows.
Either way myphotopuzzle are a print service with a unique and bespoke difference that offers the chance for people to upload any photograph they want and have that photograph turned into a jigsaw puzzle, and on this occasion I decided to upload the following photograph that I had taken. The photograph itself is entitled “An autumn passage” and is perhaps one of the best photographs that I had taken in 2020.

The website that you are greeted with when you visit myphotopuzzle is one that is minimal, clean and easy to navigate which is crucial to someone who is visiting for the first time, another bonus with myphotopuzzle is they do not get you to download any other software either meaning that it is simply a case of uploading the photograph that you want to get printed onto a jigsaw puzzle directly to the clever systems at myphotopuzzle.

| Perhaps the most fantastic POS website. The "myphotopuzzle" website. Easy to navigate with a clean interface. |
As a website goes it is one of the best POS or (Point of Sales) website that I have ever come across, all too often websites which feature e-commerce are too in depth or remain tricky to navigate, so another bonus to myphotopuzzle for creating a website that really is easy to use, that easy that someone who has never used a website for shopping can easily use this one.
Digression over on the praising of the myphotopuzzle website.
With the photo in mind I had a look at what I wanted to order, a jigsaw puzzle that would be a Christmas present for someone and navigating around the website gave me some options of things that I could select, thus meaning that I could make this Jigsaw something perhaps a little bit more bespoke.
In the end I chose a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, which for the box - I decided to select a slightly dark red; almost maroon colour, the default and first option that I had come across and one that I thought reflected the photograph that I had selected, entitled simply “An autumnal passage”. After all the red packaging matched perfectly with the colours within the photograph.
I had also uploaded the photograph, and selected the design of the box along with the jigsaw, all that was then left to do, was wait until it got delivered. Thankfully the length in which the clever behind the scenes stuff at myphotopuzzle, does not take long and within a week a package arrived from Germany. All secured in some rather fantastic quality packaging, then again German precision means efficiency and efficient delivery plus protective packaging is another bonus for this fantastic company.

| Something that is truly unique. A photographic puzzle, bespoke from myphotopuzzle. |
Upon the opening of the packaging I was greeted with the puzzle itself, albeit in the box that contained the pieces, and I was blown away with just how good the quality was.
Of course it goes without saying that the recipient of this jigsaw puzzle was equally impressed with how good it was, and for a Christmas present, that is a wonderful feeling, to actually know the person in question appreciates it.
So the recipient not so long ago managed to challenge themselves, they like a challenge and this Jigsaw puzzle provided the perfect challenge, best of all the photograph that I had chosen also meant a lot to the recipient of the jigsaw puzzle.
