I didn’t think I was a puzzle person. No disrespect to Alex Beggs , but the idea of spending all day toiling away at one of those color gradient abominations made my eyeballs itch. But pre-March 2020 I also didn’t think I was someone who would be “ into composting ” or “own formal sweatpants." And if the Great Jigsaw Puzzle Shortage of last spring is any indication, I am not alone in my conversion.
All this is to say that puzzles gifts have gone from niche—maybe something you got for your indoor kid brother or your aunt who collects Hummel figurines—to a viable gift idea for just about anyone. And food people are no exception. Below you'll find the best gifts for puzzle lovers who are as obsessed with perfecting their pie crust as they are with finding all the corner pieces—and we've paired each with a Bon Appétit recipe, so you can snack while you puzz.
