Everyone loves doing jigsaw puzzles, but imagine how much more fun it would be to put one together if it featured an image close to home. The Personalized Hometown Jigsaw is a 400-piece puzzle representing your neighborhood -- with your home depicted as a house-shaped piece in the center.
The puzzles are created from a United States Geological Survey map, marking all the roads, buildings (schools, the local pub), bodies of water and even vegetation. It shows 6 miles east and west of your home and 4 miles north and south of it.
This makes an excellent gift for young and old and comes in a presentation box with a personalized message from you. For $39.95, all you have to do is send in the desired address and wait 2-3 weeks for the customized puzzle to arrive!
