This is adorable 😍 I haven't seen your review of the dogs advent calendar yet so I'm on my way to watch that one now too 🙂
Enjoy :)
This looks like the same puzzle cut they used last year. I really like the ‘create your own town’ concept. Thanks for the review.
Thanks! Didn't see that one from last year so I can't compare but I'll look it up!
That is a cute concept!
Really fun thing to do with students !
Could be nice yes!!
Thank you very informative
Glad it was helpful!
What a great puzzle! Thanks for showing it to us. ❤️
Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed 🤗
I really like that town and I think it’s refreshingly different from the usual ones. If the pieces in each section are the same cut then if you’re a parent or teacher who does the Xmas elf, then once it’s complete you could move some pieces to the wrong sections and then make a little game out of it.
Good point! Lot of possibilities!!
This is lovely. I like the concept of the Christmas calendar. A bought also a calendar from eurographic, but another one.
Seems they have a few, It's my 2nd one and I saw the cats one that I don't have.
I once saw Karen Puzzles take 10 exact same puzzles and mix them together to make a bigger challenge. I think this set would be a fun set to do that with, especially since they are all the same cut. I don't know who sells Eurographics in my area, but thanks to your channel I certainly would buy this set. Thanks for the entertaining channel!
I saw they had Eurographics at Costco, don't know if you have it there. Good idea for a challenge, perfect set for that!!
I love it. I wasn’t aware that Costco sells eurographic puzzles. I’ll be in look out next time I’m there. Thank you for sharing again.
Yes! I don't know if they have the advent ones but they had a huge display with the 2024 collection of 1000 pieces for a great price!
@JigsawJohnie we have Costco but not a member. Will see if any one I know belongs. Thanks!
I would rather have an Advent calendar with 25 doors. I guess the 24 doors is for families that open presents on Christmas eve (instead of Christmas day)????
good question... Maybe it's just like a countdown for the 24 days before and once you reach zero it's over. Never thought about it haha
So cool! I didnt even know this existed, I am so inspired right now❤❤
Glad you liked the video :)
This one looks like so much fun. I have a Wasjig advent puzzle to do this December. Very excited about it. 😄🎄
Didn't know they existed, should be interesting!
Wow! I love this advent. It seems to be so much fun to put together! Thanks for this review!
Thanks for watching, It was fun really!!
Yeah, this one with the town is right up my alley. I’m always attracted to puzzles with buildings, shops or houses. For a different take on the advent calendar, cloudberries just came out this year with one that each section attaches to make one 1000 piece puzzle. I’m hoping either puzzles Canada or Rose Willie get them in.
Didn't see that one, looks fun, I've seen other ones that attach, I like the idea. Thanks for the heads-up!
It would be interesting to know how the other kind of impossible puzzles that are double sided would be compared to this one you did. I think the double sided would be easier if the pictures are different. If it’s the same picture just turned in a different direction, that would be the hardest I think. Do you think you’ll try one?
You are probably right. I don't know if I'll ever try the double sided ones. I wonder if I would enjoy that... Maybe someday if I really feel like it. That potato head one I actually enjoyed.
Excellent video and a true dilemma of a topic for us all.
Thank you! I know from the comments it seems like everyone has the same issue. The boxes are so big it takes space. Oh well I made my decision now so no going back :)
Cute I love puzzle advents. I like that you can use them year after year.
Just ordered this puzzle and I can’t wait to get it. So excited to try a new brand too.
Awesome, it was a fun one, I loved the different backgrounds. Fun to sort and put together! Have fun :)
@ thanks!!
Good idea to keep your favorite Halloween puzzles. If you really enjoyed them, it is very likely you will want to do them again when Halloween season rolls by again. It is not necessary to buy all new puzzles every year.
Hey Johnie, I think It's cute. I love dogs and especially with glasses on. That's a plus. I saw these a few weeks ago. Nice video my friend. TFS & 😊😊👍👍❤❤
Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed:) it was fun putting these together!!
Wentworth wooden puzzles have their applications out for ambassadors. It would be awesome if you were selected and we could see your videos on them. They are amazing puzzles! Many beautiful Christmas and winter scenes as well as many other images to select.
Thanks for the heads-up I'll check it out :)
First time viewer, it’s nice to see a guy doing puzzle videos. 👍🏼
Welcome aboard! Hope you'll enjoy my other videos, more and more to come :)
Enjoyed your video as always. Cute doggies but my favorite is Oscar.
Thank you :) He's a cute one for sure!!
My problem with these kind advent calendars is that, all the puzzle pieces are the same cut. When they have individual puzzles like that. Exact same cut for 24 days just the pictures are different
True, I mentioned it in my video, all the same cut. Really depends if it's all for the same person or if it's for the kids or a classroom... Good to know!
Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed your review. Looking forward to all the Christmas puzzles you’ll be showing us. Love your cute dog! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, more to come :)
I don’t keep puzzles when I’m done. I take a photo and print them to an album so I can flip through them now and again. I have a few Christmas that I keep but otherwise I’m happy to pass on for someone else to enjoy them!
I really wonder how often people do their 1000 pieces more than once. 500 pieces I understand for the competitions practice and all but the 1000 ones they must be really special!
Trop cute les pitous, j'adore. Un beau calendrier de l'avant. Bien hâte de voir les autres casse-têtes de Noël !!
Merci :)
I love your videos! This one looks fun; I might have to consider getting it, lol.
You should! If you like dogs it's a must!
Hi, Jigsaw Johnie. Great advent calendar!
Hey, thanks! It was fun :)
Eight weeks of Christmas puzzles is slightly terrifying. I guess that this makes sense for advent calendars so you can order before December 1, but the rule in my house was no Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving. I have never done an advent calendar. My favorite Christmas puzzle has to be the Ravensburger 500 piece "Enchanted Christmas" by Demelsa Haughton which has so many cute little details.
I dont think I wanna do 8 weeks of that! I'll start with two advent calendars, 1 shopping video, 1 special for the 1000 subscribers and maybe 3 xmas ones after that...
I think I saw this at toy r us and I was wondering about it! Thanks for the review!
No problem! Hope you liked it :)
Excellent review, thanks! I enjoy making my own advent with my favorite Christmas puzzles!
That's a great idea!! You must have a lot of puzzles to do that!? What size do you use?
I use any size puzzle. And separate into 6, 12 and 24 bags per box.
This is fantastic! Glad to see how good the quality is because I have a different theme advent one like this from the same company. Zip-top snack bags make a great storage option to put the individual days back in the little drawers/slots if someone's advent puzzle doesn't come with the individual zip-top bags. I also have their punch out style advent, but I'm not ruining the box and will open it from the top.
Ohh wow I didnt think of that :( I have that other one (next week's video) and I already punched the doors!! Ohh well! Thanks for the comment :)
Yay!! Good morning from California, Johnie🌻 I'm really feeling the Holiday Spirit, so this is perfect timing! I just watched the Casual Puzzler's preview of her Advent calendars, and I mentioned that I would love to see the New York Puzzle Co.'s advent calendar, but it's $200! I love the New Yorker magazine, and the calendar is made of its magazine holiday covers. So cool, but not in the cards for me. Your dog is absolutely adorable! Great review, and I look forward to your next one. 🕊✌
$200 for an advent puzzle?? That's a lot of money!!
She has a playlist and she did one from that company in a previous year.
@@rhondaal Yes, thank you. Emilee replied and provided the link. 🥰 So many great puzzle videos...Happy puzzling!
Thank you ❤. This is great for kids and grandparents. I really like it.
You're welcome 😊 Thanks for watching!!
I’m part of a puzzle community in my region and it’s the best thing ever. When you finish a puzzle you place it on the community page and someone else is able to come pick it up. The rules are simple: all puzzles are free and you must place it back on the community page after you finished it, so puzzles will never leave the community. There’s about 300 members and I always have an endless supply of new puzzles even though I haven’t bought an actual new one in years. Some of the puzzles I put in the rotation are still making the rounds after a decade. It makes me happy to see that my puzzles are actually being used by other people instead of collecting dust in my closet. (I do still have a small collection of my favorites btw. I totally get the urge to collect as well ;) )
300 members is crazy!!! Wow that's awesome!!! I mean that would generate 1000's of puzzles, enough for years in my case! Thanks for sharing, I'll do some research see if there is something similar around here :)
Have the 5000 piece version of views from ancient Rome from ravensburger, and it was a challenge
Ohh I bet!! Never done more than 2000 so I can't even imagine haha!!
I like how you stated doing puzzles and being a collector can become two different hobbies. I love de-clutter and organizing videos more than haul videos. Shopping vids make me want to shop, while de-clutter vids inspire or motivate which gives a different kind of feeling good. 🙂 I would like to say, that for sentimental puzzles, maybe find another place just for those. They can either be decoration or just momentous that could sit in a closet. Then keep your main shelf open for "to-do" puzzles.
Thanks for the comment! Could be an idea if I need more space but I feel like if I find another place for my sentimental puzzles, i'll just find more excuse to accumulate more puzzles. I really wanna try to stay within the fixed limit.
Hi, Jigsaw Johnny. I totally agree about the lions and the zebras puzzles. I do not like them either. I am happy that you did not get rid of the Halloween Magnolia puzzle or the Yazz. I recently donated 17 puzzles, as I knew that I would not do them again.
Feels good right? 17 puzzles is a lot, makes room for new ones if you already know you're not gonna use them again. Good job :)
Hi Johnie! Marvellous puzzle! Magnolia is very good! I love your videos (I follow you with three of my UA-cam accounts: Virginia Greco, Virginia_Greco_Scrapbooking, and now this one, Virgi_in_Puzzle_Wonderland 😄😄😄). I would love for you to check my (brand new) channel on puzzles and, if you wish, let me know your opinion, comments, advice. Thank you! And thanks for sharing your adventures! 🤩
Hey, I've been enjoying your videos - thanks for sharing & I hope it's going well for you.
Thanks for the nice comment:) more to come!!
This is a great video, and an important one as others have mentioned! :) It's so easy to get caught up in puzzle accumulation and then be completely overwhelmed by the piles and piles of puzzles (ask me how I know, lol!). I'm glad and impressed that you recognized this issue so early on! Future Jigsaw Johnie will surely appreciate the wisdom of Today Jigsaw Johnie! :)
Haha that comment made me laugh :) Glad you enjoyed the video! More to come
I have been watching this video multiple times now! I love your commentary on each puzzle and why you are donating each one. I agree with donating puzzles I won’t be puzzling again. I have a large collection of puzzles and I enjoy the anticipation of when I will puzzle them as well as puzzling them multiple times. I love your channel, looking forward to your next video!
Thanks for the comment. So far the only puzzles I did more than once are some of the 500 pieces for speed practice or trying to improve my time. I never done a 1000 pieces twice yet. So many puzzles out there, I wanna try all the brands and check out the new images. Very few I think I will do again but some I just cant give yet.
I had 92 puzzles in January and I was feeling overwhelmed. So I got rid of some to the charity shop and our local library. I instantly felt better. I’m now at about 45. 8 of which are Christmas one. Mentally I feel a lot more comfortable with that many. I can understand when people say they are two different hobbies.
From 92 to 45 wow, that's a cut in half!! Congrats, I understand when you say you feel better, same for me. Relief I think is what I feel haha. More to come, thanks for watching :)
I think my poverty helps me a lot. I have about 20 puzzles I still have to do, but I haven't done them because of working on the Life puzzle so much. My budget for purchase is $10 or less. I just picked up 6 off Marketplace for $25, all holiday puzzles, so I'll be working on those during November. I want to get them to the library where I donate my puzzles I don't plan to do again in plenty of time for someone else to do them for the holidays. I have some puzzles I've had since I was a child, and I can't seem to let go of those. If a relative of mine wanted them, I would give them up. But I've been through Swedish death cleaning and since I have no children and no one to leave my things to, I have no struggle getting rid of most of my puzzles. Better someone else enjoy them than have them just tossed in the trash after I'm gone. I'm hoping to sell or give away most of my belongings and live very minimalist.
I understand, having something since your childhood must have some kind of sentimental value attached to it. Some exceptions. Just like you, some puzzles I know I'll never do again so no reason to keep them. I feel better with less stuff around me. Not ultra minimalist but I do understand it feels better.
Hello my friend ❤
Hello again! 😊
I agree 100% that as avid puzzlers we have a tendency to collect faster than we can assemble. Recently, I gave away 66 puzzles some which I have completed (not to do again) and some which took space in my shelves for a long time. Goodwill, our local library and senior citizen center were very happy to get some of my give-aways.
I bet they must be happy yes! 66 puzzles is a lot, makes room for the new stuff! Sometimes you just know it's collecting dust. I understand why some people like to collect them, it's nice and looks good but it's not for me this time! Feels good to give them. Thanks for the comment :)
Earlier this year i diacovered my library had started a puzzle swap. Ive gotten a lot of puzzles there and try to take some ive already done. I usually do a puzzle once then dont want to keep it. I take about 5-6 puzzles to leave at puzzle swap. Then i try to limit the puzzles i want in exchange to 3. That way im not bringing too many back. Happy Puzzling Johnie!
That is awesome! I see some puzzle swap events sometimes on Facebook I might try that sometime if it's not to far!
Your videos are great so you have more of a reason to explore new puzzles.The last time I took stock of my puzzle collection, I had a sinking feeling. How did I go overboard? I don't have the room for all those. I'm not sure what is a good number but I like the idea of a confined space allowing 50 or so. Thanks for the inspiration.
I know I make puzzle videos but I don't even think I do that many puzzles in a year compared to the people I see on Facebook groups. Some guys do 2-3x more than me and even more!! If a do 3-4 puzzles per month I must be around average in my mind. Probably some do way less but I know for sure some do way more. I think a collection with 50 to 100 puzzles must be decent. I can work with that!
I also love puzzles, but I rarely buy puzzles at full price. I hit yard sales, thrift stores, my library when they have sales, and local FB Puzzle Swaps. I make exceptions for black Friday & holiday sales though, and I have a few I'll nvr get rid of. It just hurts my heart to pay $6-$20 a puzzle and then donate it. BUT! I dont have have a puzzling channel either 😊 Edit: there are worse things we could be spending money on 🙃
Well I see many of my viewers do thrift store and also a few youtubers. It seems like a good practice and from the videos I've seen they have some pretty good inventories. My problem is I'm in a small village with no stores. I have to buy everything online :(
