Important Holiday Message
The BIG day is getting closer, and our crafting schedule is filling up quickly! Every puzzle we craft is handcut - piece by piece. It’s impossible to know exactly how many puzzles we can cut in time for holiday delivery, but our experience allows us to make a really good, educated guess! In the end, it’s all up to our amazing team of puzzle cutters (and just how much coffee and M&M’s they can consume to keep them going!).
