its refreshing to see you buy sensible gifts.I heard a boy yelling at his mom to buy him a nintendo switch and she was explaining its really expensive and he just walked away and rolled his eyes. its nice to see you keep your daughters grounded.
Thanks! It's not that I wouldn't buy them that if they wanted something expensive but with an ungrateful/entitled attitude like that little boy had, there's no way!
The amount of thought that you put into your daughters’ gifts makes me incredibly happy, it seems to me that too many people just mindlessly gift shop these days
Love seeing moms out there who buy their children sensible, curated gifts! Spoiling them with things they don’t need is no way to go. You seem like a great mom!
Hey Becky - so excited about this series!!! Our girls are 5, 6, & 9, so these are always so helpful!!! Just got my Rakuten account up and running and made my first purchase last night OLD NAVY's 40% off sale. Yay! Thanks for telling us about them! Love the animal pillows! And I think you do such a great job at knowing your girls and getting things they'll use! Have you ever thought about or done a guide video on what you get your hubby? I think they are the hardest to shop for!
If only there were more than one Christmas, right? I could make these videos all year long! Believe it or not, my girls' birthday videos will be up very soon! I'm so glad you liked the intro! Thanks for watching! :)
So happy to see a normal what I got my kids for Christmas video. I love your gift guide videos. People can actually afford the things you buy. Great video Happy Holidays
I'm so glad you liked it and I hope you get more gift ideas in the rest of this week's gift videos! :) Thanks so much for watching and Merry Christmas!
I give all your videos a thumbs up before I even start watching them! I think my favorite gift is the hand warmer. I would love to get one of those! You always have the best gift giving videos! If you signed up for Ebates, do you have to re-sign up for Rakuten? I had an Ebates account, but I would forget to use it a lot of times. Ive got to get that app so it will remind me.
I want to say thank you so much for recommending the dog pillows! We got stationed in Korea for the next two years with the military and were not able to brings our two dogs. We are trying to bring them over currently since they are with family but my little one is always asking for them 😭. I went on the website and immediately ordered two. This will sure put a smile on his face on xmas morning! ❤️
First, thank you for your service! I'm sure that must be very difficult but I love your idea of making pillows from the pets you're missing back home! Im sure he will love them!
I am so grateful for you. I saw a passed video about the pillow and had one made for my daughter of our dog and hamster. Unfortunately her hamster passed away but a few days later the pillow showed up. She absolutely loves it. Thank you thank you so much it definitely helped her.
I seriously teared up watching this. The amount of thought you put into thinking about your daughter as an individual and thinking about things she would like was so touching. Great job, mama.
Early also I love that you give your girls gifts they will use for a long time and cherish I saw this little boy mabe 7 at Walmart yelling at his mom to buy him a video that was expensive and walked away screaming crying! I love how you show how much you can cherish something vs whether or not it is "treanding"
Thank you so much Becky!!! I absolutely LOVE the animal pillow! We lost our bunny this July and it has been really hard on my daughter (and myself) I will definitely be purchasing one of those. By the way, I loved all of the items. Great gifts. I can tell you put a lot of thought into them. I can’t wait to see what you got your youngest. My daughter is close to her age so it will be perfect.
Your makeup is flawless by the way👍🏼 You gave me some good Xmas ideas for my 15 year old. I love the comfy. I never heard of that. Have you had your daughters iron levels checked? 1 of my daughters have an iron deficiency and she stay cold. Thanks for sharing! Waiting on other videos 😍
That's so nice of you to say, thank you! Yes, I had them do a complete blood panel on her and everything came back fine. I guess it's just one of those things.
Hey Becky - one quick question about your LiliPi Pillow. What size are the pillows you've gotten? Mini, Small, Med, or large? I like the size of yours. Not too big, and not too small.
Omg I’m getting a comfy ( in grey ) for Christmas, they are supposed to be so cozy! ( if you live in Canada you can get them on the bed bath and beyond website or in store )
I appreciate these videos from u every time! our girls are close in age and u help me with ideas and keeping my budget in mind because I have a major to much Gene lol
I remeber recalling she likes to draw so a good gift you could gift her is called a moodles book there's different ones like grumpy or happy you should check them out
People who have anemia, diabetes, lupus, scleroderma, thyroid disease, poor circulation or nervous system disorders may be more susceptible to having cold hands. Might be worth mentioning at her next checkup. Could also just be how her body responds.
I think it's just how her body works because we've had a CBC done and everything came back good. She's probably like me and has low blood pressure which always makes us colder.
That's interesting. I always have cold hands. And stay cold didn't think anything of it but may need to get myself a check up. My blood pressure always runs low too
Love watching these type of videos. Rakuten doesn’t have that many stores in uk unfortunately so Iv never really shopped with them due to the choice of stores they give here.
Copics are always a hit with my 11 year old too. My Mom and husband got her some last year and this year shes getting more. That illio sketchbook bleeds with copics. My daughter has one and loves it though. She never uses the backs of pages so its ok :P She is hounding me for a kingdom hearts hoodie too....but when I ask her what she wants she always says "i dunno surprise me" >.>
A Place to Nest copics are the best for the money because as long as you buy the sketch you can refill them. She’ll never need to rebuy. Just don’t get the skinny chao ones like I think your husbands work got her a few years ago (if I remember right) those don’t refill. Copic sketch has a brush and chisel bib and I think 1 refill is 15 markers worth of that color.
LOVE these gifts! My daughter draws, too and LOVES her Copic markers. I would have never thought of a planner...hmmm...that is a wonderful idea. My 13 year old MIGHT be a tad too young for it though, but I will consider it.... LOVE all these ideas...as always. :) BTW... are you still buying them the non-toxic nail polish you talked about in years passed? (I can't think of the name), but I'd be interested in that, as my daughter is getting more interested in nails. I'm not ready for her to try the KISS glue ons yet, she's still a little rough on her nails, but I hate the chemical smell of mainstream nail polish... :( Do you have a link to the polish you use?
If she's too young for the planner from this video, check out the Klutz one I got my 9 year old. It's a planner but also a mini-memory book. She might like that better: amzn.to/2KFFvXD I only buy Zoya or Julep but I prefer Zoya. You can get them at Ulta and Zoya.com
My oldest daughter and yours are like kindred spirits 😆!! I’m getting all of these items for my big girl🙌🏾 well.....except for the parrot pillow! We have a cat instead!🤣. But all the art supplies👌🏾!! And the cozy warmess👌🏾🥰!! LoVe 💕 LoVe 💕 LoVe 💕 this video!!
Oh my goodness...our daughters would be best friends. HaHa Our daughter ( who is16) loves K-Pop music, macaroons, and is teaching herself Korean as part of her homeschool!
I started getting my girls at 13 for Christmas presents and for stockings two to three things they could use for college or when they get their on place. But unique gifts like tea cups, quilts, throws from grandma or someone special that they have used, letters and recipes from grandma, aunts ect into books.just be creative.My girls loved their hope chest
My daughter started using Spectrum markers. They are a little cheaper and work just as well. My daughter was into art and graphic design. I encouraged her to leave it and do engineering. She is so happy she did.Now art is her hobbie. But her artist background has aided her career. Keep encouraging daughter drawing!
How many years have you been doing these videos? You always choose such unique things, so creative!! I have a 5 year old so now I need to go in the archives of when your girls were 5 to get ideas😂
I think I've been doing these since my youngest was 6. I have an entire gift-giving playlist where you'll find ALL of my gift videos: ru-vid.com/group/PL2ViP1vFsZeleUr4OFPxhPphKMW0cWXvv I hope you find some good ideas in there! :)
Hi, great video! Have you ever considered getting another guinea pig to join your current pig? Guinea pigs are social animals and they should generally live in at least a group of two!
Thanks! No, at this point we aren't considering it. When we got Bean they told us that it's ok to have only one so that's what we did. Plus, she's with us all of the time, which I realize isn't a substitute for another guinea pig, but I still feel like she's happy.
@@aplacetonest He is so cute!! In our homeschool we have 3 little birds to enjoy in one cage, two parakeets and a parrotlet (he insisted on moving in with them) Budgies are so sweet and funny!! I cant get over the quirky cuteness of that pillow which exactly captures a budgie lol!!
How high quality did the photo need to be for the pillow? I want to buy one, but I'm nervous that my photos aren't good enough. Also, what size is the pillow of Tango?
omg that blanket sweatshirt was already on my christmas list before i saw it on this video it looks AMAZING 😍😍 i have a sherpa blanket my friend brought for me for christmas a few years ago and it lives on my bed i dont ever sleep without it. a wearble version of it is going to be a winner for me for sure :)
my husband got it for me. the comfy would have needed to be imported so i got the jml huggle hoodie instead. its a fairly well known brand in the uk and was available on prime delivery. i have worn it all christmas i have washed it and got it straight out of the dryer and put it back on 😂😂😂
It's up to 5% back on certain departments in Amazon. If you go to the Rakuten website and type in Amazon, it will show you which departments give cash back.
Thanks so much! I'm SO excited about that pillow! She and Tango are literally inseparable! She actually wants a bird backpack so she can carry him around with her. Yes, a bird backpack is actually a real product! lol
Thanks! I do worry about that but I keep RU-vid limited anyway, especially until after Christmas. That way they're less likely to see it in the recommended. If they were to peek on purpose then they would deserve to have their surprises ruined. lol
Isn't he the cutest?! Thank you so much! I try to be thoughtful and I listen to what they say all year long so I usually know what they want at any given time. :)
