Yes top ideas for ME!!! I have sorter trays and the scooper….somewhere! I do want to get a puzzle board,,, maybe to fit up to 2000 pieces. Thanks Mandy and Happy Holidays to you and your family and to all my fellow puzzlers

I’m thinking another great gift for puzzlers would be a custom puzzle made from a photo of their kids, grandchildren, family, or favorite vacation. Someone gave my mother a puzzle with pictures of her great grandchildren. She loved it.

Loved all your gift ideas for puzzlers! Those sorting trays are definitely a must-have, and I never thought about the puzzle scoop-what a game changer! Can't wait to check out those Dollar Tree puzzles too. Thanks for the tips!

All great suggestions, Mandy. Thanks for mentioning the lights - those will be perfect for my setup! I agree about the Puzzlebug puzzles, too; I just got back from a trip and someone had left a 350pc. I had some spare time and thought Why not? I was completely surprised and impressed - especially after finding out how inexpensive they are! Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

Just for fun, add a timer to check the time it takes to do a puzzle. I'm building a set of gifts to give to my granddaughter who is a puzzler like me for Christmas.

Those lights are great for so much. Definitely help with filming, but just as great for puzzling when there's no natural light.

I think a Pintoo puzzle would be a good gift idea because it's so different from cardboard puzzles, especially if someone hasn't tried one yet. It's the most perfect fitting puzzle!

Oh those tables are really cool Puzzled M, but I would think a puzzler would have most of that other stuff, y'all are apart of the puzzler community, what are other traits about yourselves that could help?? I'll go first, as a puzzler I also like murder mysteries, I like to try and figure out who done it with what and where and why before the main character, as I own all of the Agatha Christie games on Xbox there's a fair few Sherlock Holmes games there too and I don't own a single one, ohhhh with this topic outta the bsg Puzzled M might give us a part 2 😇

Agree with everything you said, Mandy, and I would just add to that with a decent swivel chair.....yet they can be pretty darn expensive (the good ones).
@thepuzzledmandy2 күн бұрын
Good idea on the swivel chair! But you are right about the price. I needed to get a new one recently and I couldn't believe how much they run for now.
@Lyntintin13 күн бұрын
I agree with you on the Artbox puzzles from Dollar Tree. They are a decent puzzle and you truly cant beat the price!!! I love my puzzle trays as well, but I tend to use cafeteria trays. I also have 3 old bento boxes that I use to sort out edge pieces and the corners can go in their own compartment! You've got a great list here!
@thepuzzledmandy2 күн бұрын
Cafeteria trays are awesome too, lots of usable space. And I never thought about bento boxes, that's a great idea! As for the DT puzzles, I seriously need to head back there and see what other images have come out since my last visit.

Great review Mandy. The table looked really useful. I need to get me one. Using the one from Amazon as it folds to a suitcase.....under 50$. So true as all your advice was very useful. Can't wait for your next video. Looking into the folding boards for 3k puzzles. Not sure which to go with yet. Congrats on your 3k completion. 🎉🎉

Good seeing yo!!! Yes life does get in the way of our puzzling. I have a 1500 pc puzzle that has been on my puzzle table for months. I dont always have the brain to work on it so I put a piece of foam board on top of it and work a smaller puzzle. Easier to do when I dont have a channel to keep up, but it might be a thought. Heading into this time of year can be extremely busy so make sure to pace yourself!!!!
@thepuzzledmandy2 күн бұрын
I'm gonna do my absolute best to pace myself. I do kind of have a love hate relationship with the holiday season 😅I love the festivities, but the craze of getting so much done drives me a bit crazy. Hope you get back into the groove of finishing your 1500 piece puzzle! Sending you all the good puzzle vibes!

You picked a very difficult image for your 3000 piece puzzle so I completely understand your frustration. I am currently working on Ravensburger 5000 piece Pokemon puzzle which is a way easier image. For me personally, life is too short to do a puzzle with low quality (even if cheap).
@thepuzzledmandy6 күн бұрын
I for sure had a lot of frustrating moments with that 3K, but I'm so happy that it's finally over now. I know at some point I'm going to attempt my first 5K, and I'm already scared 😅 Good luck with your Pokemon puzzle! I don't mind trying out the cheap puzzles every now and then, as I find it interesting testing them out and seeing what possible good ones you can get for the price.

Personally, I find box cutters to be more dangerous than scissors.
@thepuzzledmandy6 күн бұрын
With my scissors being so dull, I would be more prone to hurting myself with them because I would use too much beastly force at time to make it cut. These new blades help me get the job done a lot quicker. I just have to remember to always pull the blade back.

I do a lot of larger piece count puzzles. Largest I have completed is 6K. That 3k you are working on is crazy difficult. I would not even attempt it. So don't be so hard on yourself. It's amazing you actually completed it. I would have given up. Very impressed.
