I was going to talk about a specific brand today, but instead I saw a few things I wanted to feature in a lot of different brands so…. let’s just talk new puzzles!
We’re still getting in new 2019 puzzles from Europe — brands like Schmidt and Anatolian. And our perennial favorites have new releases too. So let’s see what’s in today’s array.
COBBLE HILL
There’s a Buy-2-Get-One-Free sale on Cobble Hill running now through April 24th, so time to stock up! I covered some of the new Cobble Hill puzzles in this February round-up post, but there have been more new arrivals since and some beg to be mentioned on the blog.
“Waterbird Magic”, 1000 pieces
I was just in Florida, and this puzzle reminds me so much of that state. I love the pastel colors and the various smaller vignettes to assemble. Nice.
“Luggage”, 1000 pieces
This is fun. There are dozens of stickers to discover and you assemble the large blocks of color that make up the suitcases.

“Fall Harvest” and “Chickadees”, 500 pieces
Cobble Hill has always excelled at bird images, and these two new ones are lovely.
“Country Diary: Winter” and “Country Diary: Summer”, 1000 pieces each
These puzzles are based on images from Edith Holden’s ‘The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady’. I like the softer colors and fine detail.
SCHMIDT SPIELE
This German puzzle company has excellent quality. You can browse our brand comparison page for them here. They have some fun new 2019 images.
“Wild Flowers”, 1000 pieces

“Colorful Mugs”, 500 piece puzzles
I like how there are mugs with the same color but different patterns on them. Looks like a fun, fast assembly.
“Paris,” “New York,” “London,” and “Berlin”, 1000 pieces each
These are really interesting. Each image is made up of dozens of photos of the city. Looks like these would be quite tricky to piece together.
“Miniature Treasures”, 2000 pieces
Another challenging design from Schmidt. There’s a lot of brown in this 2000 piecer!
