Nearly Gone in 48 Hours, Plus a New Arrival From Italy

Hi Premium Puzzlers,

Well, that escalated quickly. When I introduced the Thames and Hudson Dinner Date series last week, I did not expect what happened next. You loved them. We were nearly sold out inside 48 hours, and several of the Dinner Date titles have already gone.

Thank you. I have gone straight back to restock the range, so if you missed out, sit tight. It will be back soon and I will tell you the moment it lands.

Meet Clementoni

While we wait, let me introduce you to a brand I have wanted on the shelves for a long time. Clementoni.

Clementoni is Italian, family run, and has been making puzzles since 1963 from the small town of Recanati. Their High Quality Collection is exactly what it sounds like. Thick, precise pieces, rich colour, and a matte finish that kills glare so you can actually see what you are doing under a lamp at night.

If you like a puzzle that feels good in the hand and lies dead flat when it is done, this is your range. Shop all Clementoni.

Six to start you off, all 1000 pieces at $29.95: Magical Dolomites, Lake Como, Machu Picchu, New York, Mont Saint-Michel and Curious Whiskers.

Fun fact

Clementoni still makes its High Quality puzzles in Italy, in the same region where Mario Clementoni started the company by hand in 1963. The board is around 2mm thick, among the thickest in the business. That is why the pieces click into place, sit flat when you are done, and barely catch the light.

Like that one? There is plenty more where it came from. We have just started a Premium Puzzles page on Facebook, where we share a fun fact or two every week, show off new arrivals, and talk puzzles with people who get it. Come say hello.

One more thing. Free shipping on every order over $150, anywhere in Australia. Near Bondi? You also get free local delivery within 6km.

All the best
Mike
