What Do You Gift the Owner of a Puzzle Company?
When you work at a puzzle company, one question stumps everyone: what do you gift the owner? After all, he already has a warehouse full of puzzles!
For Cobble Hill's 20th Anniversary, we decided to surprise owner, Dave Manga, with something truly special - his favourite puzzle, DoodleTown: Viking Voyage, preserved forever by Preserve My Puzzle.
This isn’t just any puzzle. It’s part of our DoodleTown collection created by award-winning cartoonist Dave Whamond, whose playful, character-filled worlds always bring humour. In this one, the owner makes a cameo appearance as one of the Viking villagers - a fun Easter egg that made this gift extra personal.
We were thrilled with his reaction when he unboxed the package; he definitely did not see that coming! We weren't sure if we wanted to frame it or laminate ![]()
it - both options offered multiple colour choices. We chose to laminate and loved how the red beveled edge matched the puzzle and the red DoodleTown puzzle boxes. Our Cobble Hill logo was affixed to it as a way of commemorating 20 years since he incorporated.
It was so much fun to turn our finished puzzle into a lasting keepsake. We were really surprised at how easy it was to order. Preserve My Puzzle made it simple - we just shipped the completed puzzle and they took care of the rest.
These were the easy steps for ordering the laminated option:
Shipping and packaging are all included in the price. They even offer gift cards if you can’t decide on the details, and their five-star reviews speak for themselves.
As far as unique gift items go, this was definitely a hit for a puzzle lover (especially one who seems to have it all).
Thank you to Preserve My Puzzle for making this joy possible! If you've ever finished a puzzle that holds special meaning - one you completed with someone you love, or a custom puzzle that captures a cherished moment - preserving it is such a beautiful way to keep that memory alive and close at heart.
