This video, as well as the ones coming this Thursday and next week, were filmed pre-lockdown in Toronto. We're all working from home now, so stay safe!
The silk pillow case helps to prevent wrinkles, I'm not exactly sure if it reduces them :) it helps cause the silk pillow case is VERY slippery in comparison to a cotton one, so you skin doesn't pull like it does on cotton :) so when you move around at night your skin glides over the fabric and doesn't wrinkle you as much
There are certain bugs that don't like lavender, so go for it!
Christmas video idea: DIY Christmas ornaments with materials found around your home. A good one for lockdown. My roommates and I made some fun ones using beer cans :P
Even when cases were rising, you were working in the office without social distancing and without masks. Why are you promoting such selfish behaviour? This included your last video where someone helped you build that glass wall.
@@heartlesspuddingcup they live alone / with their boyfriend and only went out for essentials. They're also work colleagues and basically house mates as well. It's not the end of the world for them to be close. And they're clearly wearing a mask in this video when outside. Go yell at those people gathering families for the holidays
Soil tip! Cut down on weight and space in your package by sending soil pucks or "jiffies"-- basically dehydrated, condensed soil tablets. The expand when you add water, and would be perfect for the plant lover gift!
Isn’t that coco coir? I’ve heard that’s not ideal because they don’t have any nutrients which would mean you need to add fertiliser too
@@klaaskingma7435 No, it's a different type of product, not coconut based. Look up Jiffy Soil. Basically little pucks of soil used for seed starting. Might need fertilizer down the road, but would be perfect for a seed starting gift like the one in the video!
@@hey_hi_its_Lynz ok. Thanks. I’m not familiar with that. I know here we get those coco coir pucks
What about a foldable container? So you could mail everything flat?
I'm not gonna read through all the comments but incase no one else has mentioned it:
To anyone thinking of posting seeds/soil to friends and family abroad- there are very strict restrictions and licences (such as phytosanitary certificates) in place to prevent 'invasive' plant, pathogens and bug species entering countries.
Becky your french braids are absolutely PERFECT I was just staring at them the whole video lol
Same 😂
Loved the video :). For your hearing impaired/ hard of hearing viewers it would be wonderful to have your videos readable by adding subtitles. As a media and design company this is great to use to to grow your audience and think about all types of viewers who may want to watch but can’t. The beginning was great bc you are wearing masks but should be great to type it on for the whole video and give your audience the option to put them on or not. Thank you :) (comment was written before CC was available)
there's a cc option in the video
@@hannahm5585 the problem is, the automated CC aren’t super accurate. Something to keep in mind! I’m hearing and don’t need them. But it’s definitely important to be aware of as a creator.
Edit: personally I can’t afford to do have CC done for my podcast but I do try to make minor edits to the automated captions to make sure there aren’t blatant errors.
@@sarastrives luckily they can run their business as they see fit, and make decisions based on what's economical for them, and likewise you are free to run your business as you see fit :)
@@Wandering.Homebody I mean obviously... but they are content creators and they need feedback. This person is just saying that they are losing out on an audience who wants to watch their videos but can’t. It’s economical to fix that, and besides, it’s just. Accessibility should be a no brainer... why is this something you feel the need to be passive aggressive about lol.
@@adamsackman6184 because these things, if done well, require a shit-ton of work, and hours and hours of fiddly labour, so yeah, I can see how it may easily not be worth it. Just, oh well. Small businesses can probably never be fully inclusive, it's just like that, so there will likely always be an audience that they might otherwise be able to reach also, but wont. Their priority is clearly DIY content creation, not language. It's always easy to armchair criticise, hence my mild irritation and impulse to comment.
I think a red velvet scrunchie would be cuter!
She did do a velvet scrunchie lol
I was waiting for her to make a scrunchie with the velvet fabric, darn, no such thing.
@@ElisabethGaffney no she didn’t...
Heck yeah. I’m gonna make a velvet one :D
I really don't get the giant scrunchie...how do you wear that? 🤷♀️
It's important to know when making fashion face masks that you don't use fleece. Other decorative fabrics appear to be fine, but because of the fibers of fleece, it can actually aerosolize anything coming out of your mouth (virus) and can actually lend to the spreadability of covid-19.
Just a little PSA. =]
I would recommend using two layers of cotton underneath your fashion fabric as well. Fleece actively makes things worse, but other fashion fabrics may not be as effective anyways
@@Codeexcited definitely.
Nylon is the same!
My main complaint is that jersey weave cotton is not as dense and protective as high end plain weave cotton. If your tshirt has stretch, it's probably not a plain weave. Also, the government of canada recommends 3 layers for a mask, so double up! The best cotton you can buy as a home DIYer is high threadcount 100% cotton bedding (pillow cases or sheets).

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how Kelsey took her time and wrote all of those recipe cards 💓
Wreaths, everyone in the office make one and we vote
Yes!!! I love it when Kelsey made wreaths last year for her grandma, and I'd love to see more content with wreaths!
Id laminate the recipe cards so they dont get all soggy being in the kitchen
Exactly what I was going to suggest!
There would be bubbles around the pictures because they are too thick.
@@vicegrip0320 A quick fix might to be to use a different photo printer that doesn't use the Polaroid film(?) and then to run the cards through twice. I'd rather have some minor bubbling that can be handled with damp hands than to not be able to touch the cards while cooking. Just a thought!
Maybe mod podge them? Or acrylic spray
You could inset the picture to avoid it not being flat but would have to laminate second card to back. Definitely a great suggestion,,
I love this idea! I love that creators are encouraging responsible actions
Absolutely 💯
Making a mask without a filter isn’t a responsible idea. All the other options are good!
The pipe cleaner in the mask is a GREAT TIP to replace in an existing mask. Thanks so much !!
I remember you guys searching for your tree last year and making a stocking for each member of the TSG team. 🥺
The red velvet face mask could be problematic because of the moisture it takes in. The lady at the fabric store said the same about flannel.
I would also be concerned about the weave. I think it could work as a three layer mask with two layers of cotton and then the outside layer as velvet.
@@Codeexcited yeah, I think a cool idea would be mask overlays that people could accessorize with different masks they already have
@@Codeexcited using t-shirt cotton is also less effective than woven cotton with a high thread count, kinda bummed about that. At least leave space for a filter
@@Sakura11101 you know there's a pocket in the middle there... right? You CAN put an extra filter. I've made literally dozens of these this year.
@@veronicavatter6436 I'm aware. She didn't specify in the video to leave a space open, nor did she mention the pocket for the filter, though, so people recreating this might not know. Most people end up using masks without the additional filters, anyway.
When sorry girls are here to save your 2020 Christmas 🎄 😍
Honestly wouldn't mind a DIY: kitchen baking holiday edition 😭✨
were just gonna pretend that Canada post shipping won't cost more then the actual gift
I love your channel. I’m much older than you and an experienced sewist. The pillowcase and the scrunchy would have been much easier and better finished with French seams. Not a criticism- just a suggestion for an easy upgrade to your sewing. Just check out French seams on Google or RUclips.
I also usually see the short ends first and leave a small opening for turning on the long edge seam. It’s easier to conceal the top stitching or do a short invisible hand stitch after the elastic is in place.
I was thinking the same-French seams. 😘
I was thinking the same thing! It would save so much time on the pillowcase, rather than doing rolled hems AND sewing it 😅
Becky, is like the sweetest person. I love to watch her. She is so down to earth.
And Kelsey is like in a playful kooky mood. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Can you guys do some zero waste gifts? All the ones online are the same old "reusable napkins and bamboo toothbrush" that have been overdone. I'd love to see your take on it!
Kelsey’s idea of taking cards and having her grandma write the recipes is great! Because having the recipes in her handwriting will be even more special. I have one of my grandma’s recipes in her handwriting and every time I see it, it reminds me of her.
Kelsey sounds like she's talking about very specific people "either your friend that's a foodie or the one that spends all their money on food delivery" 😭
Poor Angela lol
I love these ideas but the scrunchie looks like a saggy diaper 😂 I think it needs more structure somehow...
Im so glad someone else thought the same thing LOL
I thought the scrunchie was gonna be matching red velvet!
Thicker elastic, like 3/4” to 1” should do the trick
Why the hell would you pick that color 🤨
I would LOVE to receive a recipe booklet like that! Especially for some holiday cocktails 🥰
Recipe cards are the best idea. I might just put one in each Christmas card. Kelsey, if your grandmother can write without pain, you will one day appreciate the recipes in her handwriting.
I love the little recipe cards. Currently I use a little cookbook in wich you can hand write recipes, but after 17 years it is falling apart. And as I happen to be in the middle of renovating my kitchen, this idea comes at a perfect timing! Thank you so much for this great content.
When Kelsey at the end of every diy figure it out, that it would be great gif from her to her. 🤣 love it! ❤
A video idea is what to give guys for Christmas bc honestly they can be difficult to shop/diy for. Maybe ideas for a friend, dad, brother, boyfriend, etc.
Yes! I never know what to get my dad. Like, they have to get sick of aftershave gift sets, right? 🤣
I agree. Men and older boys are difficult to buy gifts for.
LOL “you just got scienced” 🤣
This video brought tears to my eyes because I haven’t felt very Christmassy this year because I won’t be seeing my family for the first time this Christmas. When you guys set up the tree and the music played while you decorated my heart fluttered because it made me feel in the spirit for the first time. Thank you ❤️
The giant scrunchie is really weird lol, I skipped past when Becky was talking about it and saw the finished product and had no idea what it was haha.. why is it soo big??
If you google giant scrunchie, they're actually a pretty popular hair accessory trend, at least in the fashion community, right now.
@@principessa3x just googled it, there are big scrunchies but the one they made is just so enormous haha and the fabric they used is weird for a scrunchie
@@principessa3x doesn't mean you should though 😂😂
@@melk675not really transparent scrunchie is kinda a thing now and people would even embroider or add tiny decorations inside to make it look better (www.pinterest.com/pin/281543716190613/ - here's one of them)
@@adelineyu_ yeah, the scrunchie you linked is cute. It has structure so it isn't floppy and isn't too big haha, the one they made doesn't and I think they got the dimensions wrong
I just finished bingeing all your old holiday content when this came out! Perfect timing
I would definetly hope someone make the plant one to me or the levende one.
I am blown away as per usual, not only on how you perform the DIY that is impeccable everytime, but I am obsessed about these ideas, what a nice thought to send presents, and how creative were you choices.

For the pillowcase, a french seam is a good way to save time and effort if working with delicate fabrics. Basically you sew wrong sides together then flip and sew right sides together to encase the raw edges in one seam. Its also less bulky, just a quick tip 🙃
Came here to comment this! French seams over rolled every time - it also gives a really clean, neat finish!
Omg yay!! I’ve been wanting some diy ideas for my small photo printer!! Thank you!
I love that Kelsey made herself a gift bundle. 🤣😂 you have a silk pillow case now girl!
When the tree was going in your trunk I swear I could literally smell it
That's a form of psychic ability. Called Olfactory Clairvoyance.
Just in time for me to think of ideas for my best friend! We're exchanging gifts for our birthday as we were born on the same date. Thank you SG!
I’d like to see some ideas on how to decorate the front of your house. There’s videos of this kind of thing, but not eco friendly or modern. They all seem very plastic heavy.
use distilled water for the lavender spray!! it might grow bacteria if you don't
Adding vodka helps with this as well, 80 proof. 😊
Ugh, yes! Timely. Unique. Useful. We love a SorryGirls DIY video get it y'all 💜💜💜💜
Love that you and your team is in Toronto too!! Watched you for years and so nice to revisit older videos!!
For those in the US the dollar tree always has silk pillow cases! Surprisingly nice quality
I would worry about the scrunchie ear pieces on the mask being really uncomfortable. I made my masks with ties that go around my head and tie into a bow because all the ones with ear pieces hurt after a while.
Then you’re getting masks that are too small for you, they shouldn’t hurt if they fit right and the smaller bands tend to be more uncomfortable, the scrunches would probably work really well actually
Always wear s filter inside or it won’t have any use
Ouuu please do a gift guide!! I’d love to hear some of your picks for the people in your life especially because you guys are pro small business and sustainably minded!
It's a whole holiday mood
This came sooner than expected and I'm loving it!! Thanks girlsss and stay safe everyone! 💖
Loved these !!
You both always look beautiful, but I am especially loving the hair and outfits today!💗
My Tuesday lunch breaks are always so much better when your vids drop! 😌
Dude same
I really want to see more videos on DIY holiday garlands! Like the sweater one your intern made.
Excellent idea for Grandmas recipes! It will be extra special in her handwriting. So sorry I did not get more of my grannys recipes!
Love these ideas!! They all look to professional and well made. Thanks for the ideas!!
I loved this video! I been missing the diys, like don't get me wrong I love the makeovers but a variety is good as well ya know?
I know you guys are Canadian but it’s about to be Thanksgiving here in the US and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for you lovely ladies and your team! I’ve watched your show for sooooo many years and I have truly enjoyed watching you guys become so successful!
Thank you for the idea of pictures with grandma. My mom is gone now but I have grandchildren and I want to leave memories for them. I love you girls. You make me so happy every time your on and I like to keep learning even now. God Bless you and your families. Happy Thanksgiving
I love you gals : feisty Becky and sweet Ally. Your content is both inspirational and doable . I appreciate it when you ladies show what can also go wrong and how to think through solving any possible pitfalls. Merry Christmas to you and your awesome crew ! 🤗
.
Omg. You guys... correction, you ladies... are always so inspiring. Been watching you for years and can’t believe how far you’ve come. 🥺☺️🤗❤️🌸
Literally sat here crocheting my partner's mother a christmas present (the first perfectly straight edged crochet project) which I'll probably double as the wrapping for her secondary present!! Love the recipe book idea, definitely making that for me!!!
I got myself a silk pillowcase a while back I know I don't wake up with marks. I think it's supposed to tug less on your face too which helps with wrinkles cuz it's softer. I did notice a difference in my hair tho! Less knots, a little less matted
The mask is so beautiful and I love the recipe cards! Thank you guys so much for making videos!!!
I’d absolutely love and appreciate some composting and or zero waste diys. Love that y’all try to help me stay in the sustainable mindset
Yay! Was waiting for holiday gift ideas❤️
I love CHRISTMAS TREE SHOPPING!!!!
YASSSSS I LOVE THISSS i’m sending gifts to my online/ live far far away friends (other states) and like british friends) this is perfect thank youuuu
Ahh I love this!! That extraness with the earloops of the boujee scrunchie 😍 and Wendy's comment 😂😂😂 ahahaha love 💖 such great ideas!
Love the idea of diy for the mail 🥺👌Love the red velvet mask 😳So festive 🎄✨How clever the pipe cleaner 😅And the recipe book is the cutest 🥺
I'm doing the pillow cases this year, but backing it with flannel to stop it from slipping and sliding all over the bed. Save some $$ on silk and practical too. Just thought I'd share 😁
Beckys outfit, hair and lip colour is everything 😍😍😍
I was all ove Pinterest for mailable gifts this weekend- y’all read my mind!!
I love the recipe cards, my daughter is always asking for my Grandmother's recipes that I have so I'll be doing this for her. I think I'll even buy one of those little box like the one my Grandmother had her recipe. Thanks girls for all these great ideas.
Loved the red velvet mask the most. So classy, elegant n perfect for holidays.
Looove these DIY's that you can send in the mail box. 😍 Really nice tips
I finally bought the instax printer like two months ago after wanting one for sooooo long. So glad to see this sponsored video to remind me to put it to use when preparing gifts for the season. 🎁🎄
Was I the only one who noticed how beautiful Canadian postboxes are!!?!?
going to get some stamps right now!! ✉️🌲❄️
For a standard pillow one yard of fabric will make a perfect sized case.
So true about the pillow spray. At first I was like, this is unnecessary and now I’m addicted haha I wanted to make my own so this diy is perfect!
The recipes are so cute I'm gonna do that with my favorite recipes but larger scale and frame them
The tomato gift for a plant Lover is such a cute idea! Make sure you have a hole at the bottom of the pot, otherwise it won't work out, LOL.
I looooooved loved loved all the ideas especially the mask and the recipes book 💗💗💗💗
I wish they would have tried on the mask and scrunchie
1. Becky has the BEST hair! 2. I'm loving her berry/plum lip! Keep it up, sister!
love your videos!! its always an excitement to see a notification from you!!
I love these ideas. It is Oct. 2021, and I am looking for gift ideas. I saw some that I was quite inspired by. My niece, her partner, and their daughters all have long hair. The silk pillowcase and the scrunchies plus headbands both in red velvet or Christmas plaid would be wonderful and easy to mail- plus great for their skin and hair- which since the older ones are very self care conscious I think would be wonderful gifts.
I also really love the hand made recipe flip book. I had to switch to gluten free-dairy-vegetarian food a few months ago at my doctors recommendation, so am starting from scratch on how to cook most foods. I am lucky that there are so many pre-made gluten free and dairy free products on the market, but since I need to cook so much, now is the perfect time to start a new cookbook.
Thank you!
Love this!! Would love to see some eco wrapping/sending ideas maybe?
these are great sets. I like the chiffon scrunchie. It would look lovely when worn. Great situation-appropriate ideas.
Thank you for giving us these great ideas. Thank you for being you.
I've already made sets of masks for several folks, but I might have to try your pattern. Mine doesn't have a nose piece. I also love the recipe card idea!
I loved all of them. The mask was so pretty.
I’ve read that silk reduces wrinkles because it causes less friction and doesn’t tug as much on your skin.
Beckyyyyyy I freaking LOVE your overalls!! 😍😍😍
omg I'm so earlyyy!! I can't wait to watch it all🥰❤
Kelsey I got so used to room spray too ☺️😂 It’s my finishing touch when I clean and it relaxes me so much that it’s weird to sleep without it
Use the silk to make a mask
It’s so very much easier to breath through!
Feels great on your face too
Yes!! China markers!!! I use one to label leftovers, mark expiration dates, identify my dishes (remember potlucks?!)
I love the matching scrunchie and mask! Im going to try to make them!
Love the idea of the recipe cards. I had the idea to write like two to three recipes and make it like a menu and send some of food with it (obviously the food that can last throughout different temperatures and until Christmas). So the gifted person can easily start cooking.
Omg imagine including a tree shaped card in the plant friend DIY, it'd be so cute 🤩.
