Does anyone know of a place in Calgary that will take a photo and have it made into a puzzle?

Has anyone ever had this done? How'd it turn out?

Wal-Mart

London Drugs


Calyptic Creations


We've not done it through them, but we did do it years and years ago, when we live way up north. A small local store did it for us and it turned out well.

Thumbs up for London Drugs. I had some smaller puzzles done for a wedding shower and they were great! The pieces were good quality (glossy, thick cardboard). The guests thought they were really unique thank you gifts.

I've never heard of this. Are you saying you gave people a puzzle of you? Like you took a photo of yourself, then gave it to people to hang out at home and play with?

That would be interesting. Not sure who would want a puzzle of me in their home...

The bridal party each selected their favorite group picture of us all growing up through the years. It was part of a larger party favor package given to the bridal party and close family friends at the wedding shower.

Thanks for this. This will be a fun anniversary gift for my wife. I just ordered the London Drugs one and will see how it turns out

Save some money. Get out the baby pics and a pair of scissors. I bet you can make some very unique puzzle pieces

No the puzzle was a picture of a vicious dog attacking each member of the bridal party...something to remember how lucky they were to be selected for such a dubious honor.
