It’s that time of year, when we scramble to meet deadlines and then attend family gatherings that are decidedly not relaxing. We suggest picking up a few puzzles for adults during this chaotic holiday season. Especially if you get a break from work, taking time to enjoy the little things, like caring for plants, tackling some arts and crafts, or just getting cozy is pretty much guaranteed to make you feel more fulfilled than scrolling through social media.
When you’re in the mood to give your eyes a rest from the screen, using a little less brain power to build out a puzzle (or complete at least a major piece of it) is everything. It’s a feeling that’s akin to crossing a task off your list. Plus, if you find a really cool puzzle that you love the look of, you can always hang it in your space once you’re done with it for a new piece of art or gift it as a housewarming present.
