Christmas Gift Guide 2024 || self-care, crafty, bookish, *aesthetic*

I loooooved this! Also I would LOVE to see your what I got for Christmas video! I absolutely adore all of your old ones

Please post a what I got for Christmas video! We love you Desi! Hope you feel better ❤

Rosetta Stone sounds so cool! Unfortunately I am a dedicated Duolingo-er and have a 900 day streak… also please do post the video. Even if it is late I’ll still watch it!

This year was a special one for gifting because we are in full renovation process of the house and we are not home. I didn't give gifts as usual to close people, instead, throughout the month of December I gave various random gifts to people who needed a little sparkle at that moment: a package of coffee to the lady from the bread shop because it was her birthday (she was very tired), a pack of face masks for the fitness trainer (she is going to divorce), milk for abandoned kittens, canned food for stray dogs and many little acts of kindness that aren't necessarily related to Christmas.
I was more happy to do things this way and less stress. ❤

Yes love your what I got for xmas

Thank you so much for your ideas❤ We have a tradition to make our presents (or parts of it), it feels like putting a piece of your soul in it. This year we've made gypsum trays (some of them look like marble stones, some have golden parts), chocobombs in a Christmas ball shape with marshmallows inside and sprinkles outside to put them in a hot milk or cocoa. Last year we made soap sets shaped like snowflakes and mittens and wax aroma sachets

My mom and I get together and get snacks and cozy blankets to watch every video you post together. We noticed you had gone a while without posting and got worried you were sick so I’m so sorry to hear you have been sick 😔 we are so glad you’re starting to feel better though! Genuinely we love your videos so so so much and we will watch anything you post! Thank you for taking time even when you’re still not feeling 100% to share a video with us 💛 Merry Christmas from Aly and Kate 💛💛💛

I would love to see a what you get for Christmas video. You make it fun to watch because you are always so grateful for every little thing you receive❤ Have a lovely Christmas 🌲❄️ and a fabulous New Year🫖🧁

Did you go back to Utah for Christmas?

That cracked me up about your cat growling 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We have what’s called a “cat dog” he is 18lbs and my son and I drove him to the vet without being in a kennel and walked him in the clinic holding him. He was funny he hissed at the dogs but never tried to get out of my arms just stood his ground by hissing! He’s a really good boy!

Expensive gifts are the most shallow part of Christmas 🤔🙄

Merry Christmas, Desi! Thank you for the lovely festive video! Would you mind doing an in-depth review of the new book, Invisible Strings: 113 Poets Respond to the Songs of Taylor Swift? I would love to hear what you think of it and maybe recite a few with the poems and the songs you think they're about if that sounds interesting to you.

Yes to the 'what you got for Christmas' it is sort of our Christmas tradition together!!

Woke up with a cold, then woke up and found a new video! Totally made my day! Those fuzzy Gray blankets are super popular here in Alaska. I love mine! I get it out whenever the temps drop down below zero. Happy Christmas! Also, I've been doing alot of thrift store gifts this year! Our thrift stores are amazing and I have found just about everything you can think of!

Hi Desi yes please I really enjoy all your videos 🎉❤

PLS DO A WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS!!! 🤍

my library has an annual free Christmas craft fair where you can make little gifts and decorations and have hot tea and snacks

something I also do is get extra strong double sided tape and little tiny seed beads and roll a plain gift in the shiny beads

also stamping, painting, or drawing your own wrapping paper is fun and extra special

Glad you are feeling better! ❤ Yes, we love your "What I got for Christmas" videos. And thank you for this beautiful video. So many cute ideas for gifts. Especially the paw print one of Binx:)
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas this year 🎄

Kinda late since we're only a few days from Christmas

I love to make gifts, especially cards, for my friends and family! I also just started to come down with whatever that illness going around is myself. While we'd love to see more Christmas content, please take care of yourself. I know I'll be drinking lots of peppermint tea.

Your HAIR! Omg! It looks so beautiful and classic!

The little paw print is so cute 🥹

My daughter knitted me a tea cozy last Christmas that I could use on my antique tea pot that I use for tea parties that I have with my grandgirls. It was the best!!

Yes, I would love to see a 'What I Got for Christmas' video from you! I've missed your videos! I really hope you feel well for Christmas. Are you and Jared still planning to move across the pond?

Well you look fabulous and I love all of your recommendations. I hope you feel better soon and thank you for all the time you spend gifting us with your wisdom, kindness, and loving ways. You are wonderful.
