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 & 😊😊👍👍❤❤

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.

First time viewer, it’s nice to see a guy doing puzzle videos. 👍🏼

Enjoyed your video as always. Cute doggies but my favorite is Oscar.

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

Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed your review. Looking forward to all the Christmas puzzles you’ll be showing us. Love your cute dog! ❤️

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!

Trop cute les pitous, j'adore. Un beau calendrier de l'avant. Bien hâte de voir les autres casse-têtes de Noël !!

I love your videos! This one looks fun; I might have to consider getting it, lol.

Hi, Jigsaw Johnie. Great advent calendar!

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 think I saw this at toy r us and I was wondering about it! Thanks for the review!

Excellent review, thanks! I enjoy making my own advent with my favorite Christmas puzzles!

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.

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. 🕊✌

Thank you ❤. This is great for kids and grandparents. I really like it.

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 ;) )

Have the 5000 piece version of views from ancient Rome from ravensburger, and it was a challenge

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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!

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.

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.

Hello my friend ❤

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.

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!

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 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 🙃

I recently tried to organize the puzzles I still have to do, and I just about cried. I have far more to do than I realized. I think I could fill a bookshelf with those alone. I need to whittle down the puzzles I have done. Even though I have completed them, I find many harder to part with than I thought they would be. I think your plan to keep your collection to one shelf is a good one.

Well done you. I would find this impossible I love my collection and have done most of them a number of time’s. The only time I get rid of a puzzle is if there is a missing piece, these go everything else is mine and staying . Yep I have a spare room full. 😂😂😂

I resell puzzles and decide on prices considering brands and what new prices were, if I decide I won’t do the puzzle again……..this generates funds for new or used puzzles I like. I have donated to a local retailer once a year and if there is a puzzle issue I include a photo and note of the issue……in return for donated puzzles at the particular retailer (always every September) they give a $5 coupon towards a new puzzle (they give the puzzles to senior homes and other suggested places).

I have the same problem, I purged over 100 puzzles before I moved, some of them I had never done yet. We were downsizing so I had no alternative. I have been selling puzzles off as I buy, but I’m now to the point where I can’t part with the ones I have left but have no room for more if I don’t. This video makes me want to try a purge again. Wish me luck.

Congratulations, this is something I have to do I have about 50 puzzles and I don't want to buy more until I get rid of many, is a to expensive hobby 😢 😊

Good job, congratulations! I have to say, Batman hurt though. 😢

Puzzle purging is so hard! I have about 240 and most will go someday but I want to do them at least once before purging. I have a couple questions as im somewhat a new puzzler: where do you buy Yazz puzzles? I’ve been looking online since hearing your reviews and they only seem available on websites that I’m skeptical of. How do you tell if the ravensburger puzzle is a championship puzzle? I realized watching your video I unknowingly owned the rainbow floral puzzle and I traded it but would’ve loved to keep it had I known it was a championship puzzle.

I have the same issue. I love to puzzle, but I buy faster than I can assemble. Recently, I looked over at my puzzle stash that spilled out into my living room. I knew I had to do something. That being said, I didn’t want to part with anything. But, my library sells puzzles for extra money and even has a puzzle table for anyone that would like to assemble while visiting. So, I brought a whole bunch over and felt much better about thinning out my collection. Thanks for sharing this!

Eek! I would have kept the Batman and give away the Game of Thrones. Lol 💜

Good job thinning the puzzles out. I would love to have the one with the missing piece just to rehab it. But at least you are going to let the next person know it is missing a piece, so they don't go crazy looking for it, or in my case blaming the cat for eating it! I have one cat that loves cardboard, and he watches me do the puzzles. I have got him trained to sit in a box and watch, but if I leave the puzzle unattended for any length of time, he will at some point grab a piece and chew it up or haul it off to his secret lair I have yet to discover. I am about due myself for thinning out the closet and wish I had someplace like you do to take them like a school or library. Karen Puzzles also says some cities have puzzle exchanges but haven't found one in my area. So, they will just get recycled back to some thrift stores where they came from. Looking forward to your next puzzling, thank you for the entertainment! PS one advantage you have that most of us don't, is you can go back and watch your videos of all the ones you gave away!

It's a perennial problem for most puzzlers, too many jigsaws and not enough room. You have to ask yourself are you going to do the puzzle again, if not it goes out. Although it is nice to keep puzzles, if they never get done again they are taking up space. Much better to pass them on to the local community which is what I do with mine.

Great job decluttering! It's definitely not easy!! Thanks for being honest about why you're keeping some of the puzzles and what some of the puzzles mean to you 🧩🩷!

Discipline is so important, you want to love & enjoy doing your puzzles over again. Great job on your declutter of puzzles 😎

This is an important subject. I am overwhelmed with puzzles. Giving boxes and boxes to thrift stores. Don’t let this happen to you ❤

Hi Johnie, I only buy puzzles when I’m running low. Like down to 2 in my stash. I don’t have a closet full lol. Because it takes up too much space. I have a small bookshelf and it has 6 in total. That’s plenty for me! lol. I have my Christmas puzzle already and it’s a 1,000 piece EUROGRAPHICS. That’s a great idea . I haven’t done a circle puzzle yet. That’s what I do, only buy the ones I like. I will have to try a Yazz one eventually. Nice to see you. TFS & 😊👍🎃🪦

Waffle your ones that you have done. Maybe make a separate discord or add a spot in the existing one

Good advice on paring down your puzzles.

Hey Johnie, That’s a cool puzzle. Haven’t done that brand yet. I just completed a 1,000 piece. It took over 12 hours. lol. I like it. TFS friend. 👍😊❤️I love Halloween puzzles. Your welcome friend and Congrats to you again. 🎃🪦
