    It's so interesting to hear how puzzling has helped your mental health. I genuinely believe that cross-stitch help my depression because I could be stationary but productive and therefore feel less guilty?
    Puzzling is like putting everything in it's place, and the satisfaction it provides is like a warm glowy feeling. You've reminded me how much I loved doing puzzles, and I've got two unopened that you've inspired me to take a crack at. 😝
    Love seeing you pop up on occasion in the RUclips sphere. 🖤

    I found your video randomly on here one day and it's what got me into Mondo! I am a big nerd and lover of all things horror, so I'm grateful that I heard about that brand. I did end up getting The Thing off eBay, which sadly is missing a piece, but it was worth it! Easily one of my favorites in my very large collection of puzzles. 😆 (I have Castlevania and Jurassic Park by them as well!)
    I got into puzzles about half a year ago or so and they also are what help me with anxiety and depression. It's a break away from everything. I'm glad to see they help others out there like they do for me. 😊

    I resonate with so much that you said!
    - Yes, I had done some puzzles before
    - Karen Puzzles was also to be "faulted" on my returning to puzzling
    - And, is also, one of the few things that helps my anxiety, is just like you said! It feels like while I`m puzzling I my brain is already using that part!
    All, to say, thank you, to put into words what I was feeling

Dis video makes me want to do puzzles again. Also, i think i would be great to help with anxiety. As you said, it focuses a part of the brain that overthinks! Thank you for this vid! It was fun!

    I know that this video is one year old, but I just discovered it now and OMG. you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs just based in your horror content, but seeing that you're into puzzling too is just awesome. I have always loved puzzles, but it's just now that it's becoming more and more of a hobby because of something so similar to what you just said: I have anxiety issues and my overthinking just becomes dead silence whenever I'm doing a puzzle. Too bad that most of the puzzles you show are difficult to get in Europe, but my wishlist is only growing. Thank you for this vid!

  • @KaitlynMayReads
    @KaitlynMayReads 2 года назад +1

    I grew up doing puzzles with my mom and grandma. Probably 5 years ago I was going through something terrible and I started doing puzzles again. Like you, it really helps with my anxiety. I do almost everyday (i'm working on one while watching this lol). I have a special table where I do my puzzles and a puzzle board that zips closed because my dog loves to steal pieces.
    I loved this video! None of my friends or family are quite the puzzle enthusiast that I am so I don't get to talk about puzzles as much as I want to lol, so I appreciate this video! I was kinda shocked that you said the gradient puzzles were good for beginners because for me I can't complete one lol. I haven't heard about a few of these puzzle companies so I'm so excited to go browse the sites! Thank you for this video!

    I loved this video! It's so fun to see what other people's puzzle preferences are. Your favorites were very different than mine. For myself, I don't keep very many puzzles because I don't like to redo them, but I love trading puzzles and finding interesting puzzles from thrift stores. My mom still makes fun of me on the regular over the time I threw my back out doing a puzzle when I was only 19 😅

    I am a puzzler and found Karen puzzles in 2020 when I was stuck at home. She relit my obsession with puzzles as well. I am a person that likes to frame my puzzles though so my preference of puzzles is more about the image. I have a pretty big collection and we only had one puzzle the same, and that was the Blue Kazoo moon puzzle. I like the classic piece shapes vs the wonky ones. I loved seeing your collection because I hadn’t seen many of those puzzles. I am not sure if I could pick a favorite from my own collection but I try to get any Bob’s Burgers puzzles when I can.

    I also prefer puzzles with lots of colors & variety, so I wish there were more horror themed puzzles with color. I get why most of them are dark, but still, lol. I have a few puzzles in my collection (two are IT/Pennywise ones) that are basically just 3 colors and they are so hard. Sometimes they are more frustrating than fun! 😂

  • @sadiebowl3147

    As someone who likes some good instant gratification I'm a big fan of piecework puzzles!! they have a huge range in sizes (from 75 pcs- 1500) their "little things" collection is SO FUN! I do them with a morning coffee. Also their puzzles are just so cool! Another one is a kickstarter I just supported The Great Indoors- their puzzles are carbon neutral and they have playlists to go along with you puzzle.

    You CAN “frame” your moon puzzle. Get a large artist canvas from Michaels (they go on sale frequently), paint black or bluish black and hot glue it to the canvas. A square canvas would probably look best. I select puzzles that make Great Wall art and I’ve done that with a few. Also gets rid of glass glare and you can appreciate the puzzle detail.

    This was so fun to watch! I’ve been a big puzzler my entire life and it’s not often I see other people enjoying it as much as I do. Recently I’ve gotten into the 3D Crystal puzzles. Similar to the key ways, with the clear pieces and having to figure out how to the lay pieces on top of each to build the puzzle. They make nice little decor pieces once I finish them as well.

I've done most of the Clemens Habicht gradient puzzles (not the 5,000 piece one yet. That one is sitting on my coffee table, taunting me) and the Ravensburger Krypt puzzles in silver, gold, black and pink. My favourite puzzle that I've done is Cats Playing Hungry Hippos by The Oatmeal, that one has interesting piece shapes that make it a real challenge, as well as the color changing puzzle by Clemens Habicht - yes gradient puzzles are easy but that one? Oh man. Please look it up, I'd love to see what you think. Actually I might tag you in my IG post of it. I'm definitely going to check out some of the puzzles you mentioned, especially those magic ones.

Once I complete a puzzle I donate it or give it to a friend. There will be a few cases where I will frame a finished puzzle, but I really don't want to store or collect them.

Lol my boyfriend and I did a Baby Yoda & Mandalorian Lego set together at a boba tea cafe and it was a lot of fun!

    I have done puzzles all my life. I have a puzzle board similar to yours with the 4 drawers, it also came with a cover it reminds me of a big mouse pad. Which is good because I have 3 cats. 2 of them don't mess with the puzzle but 1 does. So when I'm not puzzling I just put the cover over the board and pieces and it is safe from the cat.
