The 12 best last-minute Christmas gifts for 2025 that will arrive by December 24

I’ve never been a big fan of puzzles, but the works of art that Magic Puzzle Company offers you to put together are a delight. For starters, each features beautiful and distinctive artwork. Even though there are a variety of artists who have contributed to the company’s line of puzzles, they all feel connected, filled with color, whimsy, and plenty of secrets that you’ll notice as you build. The puzzle pieces themselves are high quality and sturdy, which goes a long way in making a puzzle fun to put together.

But my favorite part is the fact that once you’ve completed the main puzzle, you’re not done. Each has sections that can slide out once you’re done, which opens up a new central area to fill with a bonus section of coins. This new addition fits perfectly into the puzzle and develops its story. It’s hard to describe, but it’s unlike anything I’ve seen in other puzzles. I’m pretty agnostic about my puzzle creators, but I can’t wait to get my hands on more of the Magic Puzzle Company and explore their secrets. — Nathan Ingraham, associate editor
