Great idea! I can only think of one puzzle I've received as a gift at this point. It's a very appropriate image for this time of the year though: Jack Skellington and friends. 😁
I want to participate but I can’t because I buy my puzzles. Since I have so many I tell my friends not to give me more. I have gifted many puzzles and donated too. Keep the puzzle challenges coming. I do truly enjoy them.
That's an interesting idea Sandra. Not one that I can join as I buy all my jigsaws. I did have three given to me as gifts but some years ago, so no longer in my possession. One of those was the Lego Minifigure Faces one, that was a nightmare to do! Looking forward to hearing how you got on at Worlds.
I’ve only been puzzling for a year and haven’t received any as gifts. What a wonderful idea to gift a puzzle to someone else. I’ll be gifting one to my local St. Vincent-de-Paul parish thrift store after I do it :-)
Well, darn. I just recently started puzzling and have been buying all my puzzles from thrift stores. I helped organize a puzzle swap last month, and someone did give me an extra puzzle, but I just completed it. So I can't participate by puzzling with you all. I'll have to look in my small stash and see if I have anything appropriate to give to someone I know. Thanks for organizing this!
Four gifted total, but only three of them by your definition. One of my friends gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday, and I bought a puzzle with it, so I guess I can't count that by your definition, but I may do it anyhow.
The Barnes and Noble gift card puzzle can qualify. You were gifted a card which led to the puzzle and you didn't use your own funds, so that can qualify.
I currently have two gifted puzzles for this. Challenge accepted. Now, I have to find them time! I'm so busy with the Educa Life puzzle and that will take me the rest of the month to finish. Where can I squeak in some time to do my gifted puzzles? I'll figure it out!
I don't have any gifted puzzles. I don't talk about it much because my friends and family aren't interested in puzzles themselves. I have posted on social media about my puzzles and a few aquaintenances respond, but we don't exchange gifts. It's still a great challenge to do/offer.
I buy my own puzzles. Strange challenge...I want to say many puzzlers live where we dont have puzzles in shops around here. I ordered all mine online. So nobody is thinking about giving me puzzles. To complicated.

I’ve only got 3 gifted puzzles in my pile. Only one of which I haven’t done. Looks like it will be that one. 😁

Another very well thought out challenge! I will be participating :)

Just checked. I have 14 gifted puzzles in my stash. Certainly be able to get one (or more) done in the coming month.

What a great idea, Sandra! And thank you for telling your lovely story. 🥰
You are so welcome!
@@thepuzzlingcanadian I know just which one I'm going to start with! 😀
I’d like to join, but I’ve never been gifted a puzzle. I buy them myself. However, I will be gifting some completed puzzles to my doctor’s dad.
That's so kind of you. I'm sure he'll enjoy the puzzles.
Challenge Accepted… 😀
Me, too! I'm assuming you'll be doing it (them) for a video? Me, too!
