Some months ago I was able to choose a gift for donating blood for the 15th time. I could not pass up the jigsaw puzzle that I saw – a 500 piece puzzle from Jan van Haasteren!
It’s specially designed for the Dutch blood bank, Sanquin and not available in stores.
Highlights include: the Sinterklaas in the upper right in the elevator, next to a prisoner stealing the pelican (Sanquin’s mascot), the guy in the business suit in the middle donating blue blood, and the gnome sitting patiently in the donation area on the right middle. Oh, and the gentlemen on the left side with the green shirt who is taking advantage of the policy of free snacks for blood donors.
Here’s my finished puzzle:
And on to the next one, considerably more difficult: an Escher jigsaw puzzle.

Hi!
Would you be interested in selling your JVH Sanquin Bloedbank?
Hi Martin. Thanks for visiting! No thank you – I am not interested in selling it. Have a good rest of your day.
