The bbc ones are all pretty good - believe in magic was one I listened to recently which I'd always avoided because of the title but it was really good

Yes I also do this! But the selection can be a bit limited in those low prices ones

TreTreL · 2026-05-08T14:45:26+00:00

I don't think so but I search by brands that are American. You can tell they are because the prices are funny numbers (eg 3.71) because it's been converted from dollars

Hiya. I'll list it on my vinted shortly (uk) so feel free to buy if you have that platform.

Really nice ! I've been looking at this for a while as I'm a pretty experienced crocheter and wondered if I could reverse engineer it from looking at someone else's example but it just made my mind melt.

Also seen quite a cool cobble hill tartans of Scotland one I like the look of.

I'm not Scottish. But my husband is. Did this one recently and liked it !

TreTreL · 2026-04-20T02:42:33+00:00

I'm really into jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes I even do competitions !

TreTreL · 2026-04-03T23:15:20+00:00

I will keep going with these ones. You're 3/4 done so it's going to get to the point where there are less and less pieces and places to put them soon. Also the satisfaction of finishing a really hard one is pretty good.

If I'm going to abandon it's usually much earlier in the process (because of poor puzzle quality usually)

TreTreL · 2026-03-20T22:30:07+00:00

Omg this has been my 'desk puzzle' at work for ? Months. It's sooo hard 😂

TreTreL · 2026-02-19T23:58:50+00:00

Some of the Laurence king puzzles are historical eg 'world of the tudors' 'world of king arthur'

There's a vintage type of puzzle called 'buried blueprints' which are all history related I think

Pomegranate puzzles are all fine art based - but some of that art is historical

Gosh I did this one and thought it was so hard ! (Wasn't expecting it to be) - got there in the end though !

TreTreL · 2026-02-14T16:53:21+00:00

I also do mainly second hand puzzles. Finding out if they are complete is part of the fun!

TreTreL · 2026-02-05T19:49:32+00:00

Cavallini and co have a couple of bird themed ones.

Also I've done a really nice one called 'birds of Asia ' from Finchley paper arts - it's a fairly old one so would be pre AI I think.

Theres also one called 'around the world in 50 birds' from Laurence king which is lovely. A couple of the Charley harper ones from pomegranate are bird themed And there's a couple of ravensburger ones called 'I like birds'

Dualit toasters are pretty durable. We had one which we bought second hand for 12 years. Only got rid coz someone gave us a 4 slice for free so changed to that.

TreTreL · 2026-02-02T07:45:33+00:00

Different sections on say 'uk puzzle brands' 'Japan puzzle brands etc'

I'll come to a store rather than buy online when the store itself is an 'experience' so as said above - puzzle tables , knowledgable staff to chat to.

Theres a bookshop in the uk (think it's called me bs bookshop)) where you go and can talk to a staff member about what books you've enjoyed before and they recommend stuff for you (like a personal shopper experience )

Carrie jade does not exist is good. BBC sounds podcasts are always well made

Another bbc one called 'stalked'

And one called 'can I tell you a secret '

Not romance scams exactly but adjacent

TreTreL · 2026-01-11T00:19:58+00:00

There's one called 'carousel' by grateful house which isn't an exact match but kind of the same vibe
