I was pondering my choices this morning and that started me thinking about what images I actively avoid when buying puzzles, and came up with this weird list.

I’ll start with one that a fair few of us may avoid…  Clowns.  Nope, just not going to happen, for no reason other than they creep me out.

Cats and dogs.  This one I feel is weird, because I love animals and my current fur baby, will be 14 years old this December.  I have had numerous cats and dogs over the years, but I have no idea why I’m not keen on them in puzzles.

People in general.  I’m a huge Christmas puzzle fan, but will refuse to buy a Christmas puzzle (or any puzzle for that matter) if it has people, cherubs, elves etc in it.  There are times when I don’t buy a puzzle because even Father Christmas’s face doesn’t sit right with me.  That said I don’t mind if the people are small figures that you can’t really make out any details on – I have a handful of those.

I prefer art to photos, but am not a fan of artwork like the Hobbry puzzles.

Jeez, I’m sounding like an old fussy-guts.  Please tell me what some of your likes and dislikes are, and do you know why?

The photo is a puzzle in my collection
