I love these creative ways to pick the next puzzle! I’m also trying to reduce my stash. I have to pick 2 or 3 that I know I will give away after completing. Then I pick a keeper to do. Now I just have to work on bringing in less lol

I have one rule when it comes to selecting my next puzzle: it must be a different brand than the one I just did. I like to mix it up. It also guarantees the puzzling experience will be different since the brands all have differences.

That's a great idea!

Your house your rules!!!! Yes the randomizer is fun to do when you're not sure which one to do next, but sometimes a 500pc puzzle is perfect and that you can choose yourself I'm working on a 1500 pc puzzle by Bits and Pieces, not sure of the name but its the one with the green sewing machine! It makes me laugh when we end up doing similar puzzles around the same time.

Well that was fun. A surprise appearance from Mr. Casual. He is a great guy from what I've seen in your videos. Cool idea on picking one by random.

Awe, you and your husband are so cute together. Thanks for sharing your puzzle selections. I recently completed the Sunsout rainbow gradient sewing notions puzzle and it was definitely very dry and dusty, for lack of a better description. Then I did another Sunsout puzzle of a diner image (different than yours) and that quality was better.

I've had better ones in the past and I've had similar experiences to this one. But their images are alwasy fun!

All 3 puzzles were lovely but I loved Star’s Diner so much I just ordered it from your site! I love retro pictures and couldn’t deny myself.

Hello! I’ve been eyeing that sewing machine…oh no…I don’t need another puzzle! Well, after you showcased it, I bought the puzzle!!!!!😂 I love to sew, and not only will I be getting a cool puzzle, but the tin will be great for sewing bits and bobs.😊

In Europe, Eurographic puzzles are almost always random cut!

Yes - they use a different manufacturer for the EU. I had gotten a box (with about 10 puzzles) from them a few months ago and all were ribbon cut for the US, although it looks like they have plans to change that for the future.

YES!!! Been waiting on the sewing machine!

Such cute packaging!

Hello from Kansas. We do the sunsout brand often. We sometimes pick up several when we visit a bigger city. They sell this brand at CVS pharmacy store but usually only have about 20 to pick from.

I've done several from them in the past and have had some mixed experiences but overall I love their pieces!

I'm in the middle of sorting a Suns Out puzzle and let me say, first impressions, I'm regretting getting this one. It's Fall at the Covered Bridge - 1000 pc. About 10% was connected to its neighbor and I had to take an x-acto knife to separate them, spoon fulls of puzzle dust, and very glossy (although not sure how the glossy will affect putting it together). The image on the box is pretty, but the puzzle pieces come across much darker in person and with the painting brush strokes, this one is probably going to take several evenings to complete. I really need to start zooming in on the images and examining them better before purchasing. I'm not sure if the 1000 pc cuts are all different than the 500 pc, but these puzzle cuts are nothing like yours and are what I call "wonky cuts". Oh, what I would give for some unique ribbon cut pieces right now--I get a kick out of lining them all up by piece shapes. I'm complaining, but I'm sure this will all work out in the end. LOL!

I just went back to Puzzle Warehouse’s website and the online image is much lighter, so this is likely a quality issue with the printer, manufacturer.

Hello, I have 2 eeboo circle puzzles that I'm nervous about doing.😅😅😅 You make it look so easy. Love your reviews.

All great puzzles but my favourite was the sewing machine one. I rather enjoy doing random shaped piece jigsaws. I do enjoy watching your videos and hearing your opinion on various brands.

Ahh that was the one in the last video. It’s gorgeous. Now I know the brand I’ll see if I can get it in the U.K. I’ve got a bit of spare money in my in and out fund. And the Timelapse music was brilliant.

Hi Emile, that was a fantastic video 👍. We loved the different puzzle brand reviews you do and whether you do it randomly or you chose yourself we are just happy to hear your views. Currently we are working on arrow brand called ‘A view from below’. Challenging as there is lots going on and loads of colour. Till your next video, best wishes from us in Oz👍. Mark+Chris

Thanks for your input. But after lots of trial and error, most people on my channel prefer the upbeat, bright music over the relaxing stuff.
