What to do with your completed puzzles

Jigsaw puzzles are an interesting type of object – once you’ve completed one, you don’t really want to keep it around. Would you ever want to re-do the same puzzle? But it’s probably in perfectly good condition. So, you can donate it to a charity, or if you are fortunate, you might be able to take it to a puzzle swap, like this one held at our local library on January 11, 2025. Bring as many as you want, take as many as you want!
I think this is a brilliant idea. I got to take 3 puzzles in and came home with two, one of which I’ve already eagerly started working on. “America’s National Parks” is a fantastic 1000-piece puzzle, complex enough to have interesting detail but no huge stretches of black/boring areas. I think it would be fun to do in a group since each person could have their own quest to fill in a particular park’s poster.
If you don’t know of a puzzle swap nearby, maybe you could suggest it to your library or a community center. Enjoy!
