What a wonderful place to find! I would be spending hours there. To have puzzles and books in the same store it would be awesome. There were so many wonderful images. You bought some nice ones. I'm doing a White Mountain that I got for Christmas. The image is of Christmas story books. I know that Christmas is over, but that's ok. There wasn't any puzzle dust and the pieces are nice.

It’s nice to have you all to chat with about puzzles! I’ve also been learning a lot from all of you! I try very hard to keep my buying to a minimum, not easy at all for me though. Doesn’t help that my husband either surprises me with one or he encourages me to grab some when we’re out 🤣. He knows they relax me. I can’t wait to try my White Mountain puzzle.

Even though I can see that this video is like 7 months old, puzzles in USA are so expensive. We have like 1000pcs here in Czech for less than 10€, if it's not like licensed product (movies, games and so on). I just bought 2 boxes Clementoni 1500pcs brand new and only for 9€ each. But for sure, pictures and brands in US are so awesome. I think like couple years ago, Ravensburger and Dino were the only major producers of puzzle in Czech. I envy you that you have so many choices.

Yea, certain brands here do tend to be quite expensive. There are some that I'd love to pick up and try but I just can't justify spending over a certain amount at times. Thankfully, there are many places in the US where you can buy puzzles for super cheap brand new. They may not be the best brands/quality, but most are still a ton of fun and not too bad overall in terms of puzzling experience.

What a great shop that is! Thanks for showing!

Great Video! Cobble Hill puzzles are great! The thing about Cobble Hill puzzles is the random cut pieces. Not your ordinary puzzle piece shapes. I am currently working on one right now called "Doughnuts". It's taking me a bit to finish. Good luck with your puzzle.

You picked up some great puzzles brands! You’ll love them. As for the escape puzzle, check out Karen Puzzles as she has a video on her doing one of these. I’ve tried them before and they are alright. There are clues in the puzzle image that you’ll have to solve, which the answers are numerical. And the answers will correspond to pieces that have the answer printed on them. Once you have solved all the clues and have all the pieces, you put them together, which will create an image for you to “escape.” It’ll make more sense once you watch her video.

I love the Escape puzzles. I would honestly recommend doing one of the smaller kids versions (368 pieces I believe, I liked the Toy Factory particularly) to get the hang of the "Escape" part. Then move up to the 759 Adult version.

That looks a fantastic place to shop for puzzles. I love Cobble Hill puzzles. I have recently done the 1500 Ravensburger Harry Potter Marauder's Map puzzle and it is the best puzzle I have ever done. I really really enjoyed it and the image is stunning. I intend to redo it and have it framed. I haven't done an Escape puzzle but have heard they can be very tricky to solve the Escape part not the actual putting together of the puzzle itself.

What a great video!! White mountain puzzles are I think around $19.99 on Amazon and free shopping if have prime. Springbok are Also typically $19.99 on Amazon. I like that cookbook one puzzle have one of the cook books that I used aiot when my boy were growing up , I might have to get a cobble hill puzzle too I also love posters too did a Buffalo puzzle that had a really hide poster really big. Now wish all my puzzles had posters. You got me interested in Disney puzzles I am doing the Bambi one by ravensberger it is nice but taking me a long time to finish. Also if any body is reading this I love my Scoop magnifier, Only I think $10.00 on Amazon. By the way when did you start puzzling. Would love a video where you tell us more about you. You are really my favorite puzzle channel. One note I think I saw some cobble hills puzzles on sale. I have also seen ravensberger on sale.

Wow, thank you for the uplifting compliments! It's very motivating to hear that you really enjoy my channel! My earliest memory of puzzling had to have been when I was about 4 or 5 years old in preschool. I was a very quiet child and would play by myself, mostly completing large floor puzzles on my own. I may work on a future video sharing more about me for you all, kind of like the organizing video I did before. I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday, and saw that the Springbok and White Mountain puzzles were also at $19.99, so that outlet store had a pretty good price in the end! I have to look out for their store sales, as I've heard they could go down to about 40-50% off, which will be too exciting for me lol. How big is your Bambi puzzle? I don't actually have a Bambi puzzle in my Disney collection, I need to get one!
