The drinks are poured, the sun is going down — and somewhere below the porch, a very well-prepared lobster is arriving with the bags.

On a breezy porch framed by fading summer light, four friends raise their glasses — laughter easy, the evening just getting started. Below the railing, entirely unnoticed by the group, a large lobster makes its way toward the door — lantern swinging from one claw, suitcase in the other — with all the purposeful calm of a seasoned summer traveler. The whole scene has the feeling of a coastal July at its most generous: warm light, good company, and a welcome surprise built right into the frame.

Peter de Sève's richly expressive illustration style is celebrated for its warmth and wit, and this cover is a perfect example. The layered light, the interplay of figures above and below the porch railing, and the character written into every brushstroke give the puzzle a depth that rewards closer attention with every session.

A wonderful gift for fans of coastal summers, New England beach houses, and whimsical illustration — and an especially good find for anyone who believes the best puzzles tell a story that only reveals itself piece by piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in a puzzle advent calendar?

Each calendar holds 24 mini jigsaw puzzles, one for every day from December 1 to December 24. Every puzzle has 100 pieces and comes in its own numbered box, all tucked inside a decorative 13" × 13.75" outer box.

How big is each finished puzzle?

Each mini is 100 pieces and small enough to solve on a coffee table or tray. Finished sizes by calendar:

  • Janet Hill Advent Calendar: 7" × 9"
  • Loré Pemberton Advent Calendar: 7" × 9" and 8" × 8"
  • Harry Potter Advent Calendar: 9" × 7" and 7" × 9"
  • New Yorker Advent Calendar 2nd Edition: 7" × 9"
How long does each puzzle take?

Each 100-piece mini takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your skill level. Just right for a daily puzzle break.

Will the pieces from different days get mixed up?

No. Each puzzle comes in its own small box, so the pieces stay separate until you open that day.

Do I have to open the puzzles in order?

The boxes are numbered 1 to 24, but there are no rules. Open one a day, catch up on a few at once, or save the whole set for a long winter weekend.

Is it too late to start after December 1?

Not at all. Start whenever it arrives and catch up on the days you missed, or treat it as 24 small puzzles to enjoy all winter.

What can I do with the puzzles after Christmas?

Keep them. Each mini goes back in its box, so you can puzzle them again next year, frame a favorite, or tuck a few into stockings and gift bags.

Some customers save their calendar and complete it any time of year. It's a perfect way to focus, challenge yourself and unplug, whatever the season.

Is a puzzle advent calendar a good gift?

Yes. It lasts all December, gives a calm few minutes every day, and leaves the recipient with 24 puzzles to keep, unlike chocolate or beauty samples that are gone in a moment.

Because the puzzles can be done again and again, the gift lasts for years and can become a holiday tradition of its own.
