The holiday season is officially in full swing and homes across the country are sparkling with lights and decorations as families prepare for Christmas.
To celebrate the holidays, Hammonds Furniture has designed a tricky Christmas puzzle to challenge your observation skills while helping you get into the holiday spirit.
Readers are challenged to spot five gifts cleverly hidden in various parts of a living room decorated with seasonal items.
But be careful: the puzzle is more difficult than it seems, since one in three participants can only find four of the five gifts before giving up.
The image contains a cozy scene of a contemporary living room with a fireplace, an armchair, a pair of slippers and a puppy sleeping comfortably in its bed.
As snow falls to the ground outside the windows, the warm atmosphere of the room is accentuated by the addition of traditional holiday decorations, such as a Christmas tree, stockings, candles, and a wreath.
Adding a layer of difficulty to the puzzle are the various patterns, shadows and textures; If you want to find gifts faster, you may want to look into these features as well.
According to the creators, on average, it takes 42 seconds to solve the puzzle. So do you have sharp eyes and observation skills to solve it in time?

If you’re still looking for all five, don’t worry as we’ve revealed exactly where to find them.
In this tricky puzzle, participants are challenged to spot an anomaly hidden in a sea of seemingly identical words, but can you locate it in seconds?
However, hidden in the image is one word that is slightly different from all the others.
According to the creators, there’s a misspelled “Excellent” among the rows of identical words, and you’ll need close attention to detail and a keen eye to find it before the timer runs out.
Challengers are tasked with locating the misspelled word in less than 35 seconds. Can you beat the clock and show that you have excellent vision? While it may seem like a relatively easy task, the puzzle is designed to catch you off guard.
At first glance, it’s deceptively challenging, as our eyes are used to scanning images quickly, making it difficult to spot hidden details.
The bright purple background, combined with what appears to be dozens of ‘Excellents’ displayed in a white font, adds an extra layer of difficulty to the puzzle as it tricks your eyes into thinking the image is busier than it actually is.
Have you located the misspelled word before the timer runs out? Congratulations! You have an enviable view.

Are you still struggling to find the anomaly? Take one last look before the answer is revealed below.

Look to the right side of the image and count down to the ninth row from the top.
