The added zest in a Stave puzzle is the personalization. Our highly skilled jigsaw crafters will cut the Traditional image you have chosen so it springs to life as you assemble it, and we will fill it with charming, clever, and elegant silhouettes according to your wishes. We can cut almost any shape, name or message into your custom jigsaw puzzle.

This is your opportunity to be creative! People have used our personalized jigsaw puzzles to propose marriage, commemorate a lifetime of achievement, or simply say, "This is my puzzle" by filling it with silhouettes that are meaningful to them. Rule of thumb: the larger the puzzle, the more room for silhouettes.

Some popular choices for silhouettes include:

• Names/Initials - the equivalent of monogramming your puzzle.
• Year - especially meaningful for the annual Christmas or birthday puzzle. Make it a tradition!
• Pets - from Bichons to toucans to mutts from the pound, we'll design your special critter as a puzzle piece.
• Activities - think about what that person enjoys, like scuba diving, gardening, sports cars, boats, golfing, etc. Often it's better to portray a person in action such as a female golfer than an object, the golf club.
• Places - some state and country shapes can be effective like Florida or Texas, or their landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben.
• Symbols/Logos - think the bull or bear, company logos, etc.
