    As a booktuber I never knew how much I needed this content. Here for all the puzzles!!!

    I'm so happy that youtube recommended me this video, you have some really interesting puzzles 🤩.
    Elena Essex makes some of the most beautiful images (I unfortunately only have one of them so far), and Eeboo is one of my favorite brands 😁.
    The Disney Pixar Artists Desk was the first puzzle I did as an adult and the one that started my puzzle obsession 😊.
    I also have the Cloudberries 2000 piece gradient puzzle, and you are completely right, gradient puzzles are super relaxing and actually some of the easiest images.
    The biggest piece count I have done are 3000 pieces. I would love try even bigger puzzles but space is definitely the issue 😆. I have a 8000 piece puzzle in my collection, but fortunately it comes in two bags with 4000 pieces each, so I think that's how I will eventually put it together 😉.

      Thank you!! I feel like my collections is such a hodgepodge of random puzzles accumulated over the years.
      Elena Essex images are always stunning! I got one of her wintery ones in December but definitely would like to get more.
      Space is such an issue for me to living in a London apartment. I can so 2000 on the kitchen table but then it gets in the way. Bigger than that I have to do on the floor. And then storing them is a whole other issue

    I LOVE your puzzle collection!!! I totally agree that Disney puzzles are mega fun and I also love maps. I bought my first cloudberries this past month - the 1000 piece gradiant and I *assumed* I'd want the 2000 as well 😅 You should try a blue kazoo puzzles - I bought a few of those and they are BEAUTIFUL 😊

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 5 měsíci

      I just bought the Trefl 9000 Disney puzzle....
      Unfortunately Blue Kazoo don't look to be the easiest to get in the UK...they ship here but it doubles the price 😢

    I have several waiting for table space and my time. However, I've found Microsoft Jigsaw very addictive.

    That's a very great collection. I really like the Bavarian castle one in spite of the weird shape of the box.
    I tried to get into Jigsaw puzzle a few years back but made the mistake to start with a nature landscape 1500 pieces puzzle. I never finished it, the blue sky killed me. And it was during a 4 months lockdown of Covid so i had the time.
    I left it in the entryway of our building, someone took it and brought it back only a week later with a "Thank you ! It was fun !" note. 😅
    Since then I only did the 200 pieces puzzle that I get in the Illumicrate boxes. But it only takes me half an hour to do it. I should try a 500 pieces or a 1000 pieces one.
    I actually do painting by number while listening to audiobooks. It's great !

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 8 měsíci +2

      The Bavarian castle is a great one despite the weirdly shaped box 😂
      Oh I actively avoid landscape ones, anything that has a large amount of one colour gets actively avoided. Those are just not fun at all!
      For a 500 pieces one I have been really tempted lately by the Ravensburger Circle of Colours collection they have

    This was so enjoyable 👍. I did them when I was a child (Disney, adored them)and got myself a 1000 piece one with LOTR just a few weeks ago after decades and am busy with it now😅. It is soooo difficult!! Determined to finish it, this video came at the right time. Thank you! I think your 6000 piece is so breathtaking 👍⭐.

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Good luck with finishing the LOTR one. I just picked up a Disney villains one in the charity shop yesterday.

    Ooooh you're making me want to get back to puzzling again, it's been way too long!! Love your collection, and that 6000pc puzzle is beautiful, you deserve to be proud of finishing that 🤩
    My favourite puzzles were always the Wasgij? puzzles, which are essentially mystery puzzles. You're not puzzling the picture on the box, but instead that is used as a clue for what you *are* going to puzzle. Like, sometimes you see a room with two people tied up, and then you have to puzzle what is going to happen after they get themselves free, if that makes sense? It's really fun and adds a cool extra challenge. I don't know if they are available outside of The Netherlands (I'd assume they are), but I would highly recommend checking one out one day!!

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 8 měsíci +1

      You should!! Puzzling inside all cosy during the colder months of the year!
      Yes we have Wasgij puzzles here although I've never done one. Should try and pick one up as I feel as though they're generally pretty inexpensive

    I did the 6000 puzzle Entering the Bedroom back in October and I absolutely loved it! It was missing a piece though 😩 I didn't know they did the Educa Life puzzle in 3000 piece count! Much more manageable than the 24 000! Nice collection :)

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 5 měsíci

      Oh what a shame!
      I didn’t know they did it in a 24000 piece version until I saw Karen puzzles do it 😂 I’m not sure how easy it is to get ahold on now as I got the puzzle 10-15 years ago

      Oooh!! A to do pile of chunky puzzles!! I've been getting tempted to redo the 6000 piece entering the bedroom as I only did it once in 2021

    Nice collection! We have a small collection but we haven't had space to do a puzzle in so long haha. I don't think I've ever done one larger than 1,000 pieces though. I really like the sea creature ones you've got!

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 8 měsíci

      Space is definitely an issue. I take over the kitchen table to do them. I've just bought a new puzzle from the same company that does Night Reef and I'm so excited for it to arrive

      That is definitely the issue. My partner hates me taking over the kitchen table to do puzzles.

    It's always frustrating to realise near the end, that a peice is missind. So dissatisfying.
    Personally, I am more a fan of book and movie related puzzles.I was so happy when Rivendalewas done.

    • @AbbySalter
      @AbbySalter  Před 8 měsíci

      I realised quite early on with it as it was an edge piece and I was like this piece is seriously not in this box. I'll still accuse my partner every now and again as he once hid a puzzle piece in the freezer
