Yummy treats. Another blessing. You must have been a good girl this year. Santa found you. Merry Christmas. God bless yall. Drink a cuppa for me. Blessings.....😊😊😊😊❤
WOW, that was an awesome Christmas hamper that you received. The ice cream would be demolished in this house by my husband and the kids. lol Getting the honey is an amazing item to get as the cost is outrageous for it and it does keep forever. I love how they threw in the wreath, tinsel, ornaments and even the bon bons. nice little Christmas touch!! Another great video.
Hey Amber!! Thanks so much😊💕 Haha yes the ice cream is no longer in existence in our house too lol! I was so happy to get that beautiful jar of honey, it's usually very expensive to buy here as well. They're very kind and thoughtful people that run this food pantry. They think of everything, even decorations which is lovely!
It was so lovely to see that you got a wreath, tinsel and baubles as well as some lovely food this week. They stocked you up well to last 2 weeks before they re-open in the new year 😊 The luxury Christmas pudding would be delicious with some custard 😉 I hope you've had a lovely Christmas my friend, peace and joy to you and your family ❤x
Hey Angie😊 Thanks so much my friend, yes they thought of everything! We'll be stocked up for quite a while, it's a wonderful help. I agree, Christmas pudding with custard is a delicious combo, isn't it?! Yum! We had a very nice Christmas thanks, hope you did too? Best wishes for the coming year💕
Yes, thank you my friend, we spent Christmas day with our daughter and family and had a WhatsApp video call with our Son and little Granddaughter in Sydney on Christmas eve (UK time) She is 8 going on 18! and a total delight. We enjoyed every minute 😊 ❤️x
What a beautiful Christmas Hamper! I'm so happy for you and your family. Sending Happy New Year wishings to you and your family from Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦 ❤❤
You can melt some of the jam from the other pantry box to top the pancakes or even to mix in for different flavors. My girls always liked chocolate pancakes so I would mix some cocoa into the mix.
Thanks so much Mary, it was a hot but still lovely day. Season's Greetings to you and your family too💕 Hope you had a wonderful day as well. Yes Milo is a malted chocolate flavoured powder that you mix usually with milk to make a hot or cold drink, it's very good!
Thanks so much Edwin. Weet-Bix is a popular Aussie breakfast cereal made from whole-grain wheat. Season's Greetings to you too, hope you had a nice Christmas!
How absolutely amazing !! your family has been extremely blessed ! I see home made soup being made for the freezer for next winter with all the surplus 😅 many blessings Mem to your family over this season
Hello again MEM. What a great hamper, so many good things, not just for Christmas, but for the normal days around it. Some delicious treats and some good staples to see help you through. I have never really liked Christmas pudding, but mince pies, yes please, and the Christmas cake, with lots of marzipan and icing. Do you like the pudding or the mince pies and Christmas cake? I was the odd one out in my family as my brothers and parents all loved the pudding, with cream and custard. Much love and respect, Jo xxxx
Hi Jo😊 Thank you. Yes it's an amazing hamper of goodies! We're so lucky to be given such lovely food, it'll be a tremendous help at this time of year. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful food pantry where we are. Yes, I love all the Christmas treats like cake, pudding and mince pies😋 And so do my kids. Both my mother and grandmother were exceptional cooks who in years gone past made delicious fruit cakes and steamed or boiled (in cloth) Christmas puddings along with their own homemade custard so it brings back fond memories to eat them again at Christmas time. Hope you have a nice day over there 💕
That's so wonderful to bless you for free this Christmas season! Lots of nice things! I'm so happy for you, my friend. Merry Christmas, and much love to you and your family. Bless you all 🥰❤
I’m so glad you got extra. I hope it’ll tide you over until they’re open again. I hope your garden flourishes and provides you plenty of food. ❤ Merry Christmas
Thanks so much Lisa😊💕 Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas too. Yes it was a fantastic box of goodies to receive and will be an enormous help to us. The folk at our local food pantry are amazing people indeed. Thank you for watching!
Happy Christmas! That is a lovely Christmas hamper. Lots of treats and some good 'stock up' items as well. All the best to you and your family this holiday season.
Thanks so much Mary. Yes it really was an amazing hamper and help to receive! Season's Greetings to you and your family too! Hope you had a lovely Christmas😊💕
Merry Christmas I am so happy that you got a nice Hamper ! You have some really nice festive treats. The coconut chocolate Balls that you received we call them Snowballs here in Canada, I love on the Northeastern Coast . A bit of snow down & very Chilly . Have a wonderful blessed & prosperous New Year 2020!
I bet that couscous would make a great salad. I loved when I got the Christmas hamper with my kids. I was so grateful for the extra fun treats they included.
That's a great idea, thanks Kathleen, especially with this hot Summer weather, that would be nice. Yes there was so many lovely treats and fun things to make. The kids (and I) are going to love making those gingerbreads with the cookie cutter! I'm so thankful for all our local food pantry's help.
Merry Christmas! 🎄Have a wonderful day with your family. Loved your haul! We got an extra bag of Christmas goodies this week with our food box. Some shortbread, Christmas pudding, fruit mince pies (I just had one!), and other goodies. It was a lovely surprise when I got home! It has been such a blessing this year to have some food help.
Thanks so much Jemma. 🌟Season's Greetings to you and your family too. That sounds like some delicious treats, enjoy! The help given from food banks is a wonderful blessing indeed.
Thanks, yes we were really blessed by our local food banks here, it'll be an amazing help to my family over the holidays. Thank you, hope you had a lovely Christmas too!
Seasons Greetings again. It was lovely to see the kids get to pick the ice cream and more brownies. Your pantry is nicely stocked, it's great you have lots of things with a long shelf life, like the Christmas pudding and custard powder. Enjoy your Christmas day, we will be spending it by the pool, we brought a few treats from home, including a set of fairy lights so we are all set. ❤️
Thanks so much Al😊💕 Yes the kids loved that! Cooking the brownies and the gingerbread will make a fun activity for on the holidays too! Yes there was so many wonderful things in the hamper, it will really be a great help and last quite a while with some of the items. Hope you both had a lovely Christmas over there. By the pool sounds perfect!
Merry Christmas from Sydney! Lovely haul, similar to what I received, except I got a massive amount of toiletries instead of fruit and veg. I also got vouchers for Woolworths and I used this to bulk up my new freezer. Enjoy your New Year 🎊
Thanks so much Ilene😊 Hope you had a lovely Christmas too. That sounds like some very helpful things you received and perfect timing to stock up your freezer with the Woolies vouchers too! Thank you, best wishes for the coming year as well 💕
Hi Yessaa😊 It can vary depending upon the country and state or area in the world you reside. Generally speaking where I live in SE Queensland in Australia many food banks offer these low cost food parcels and are open to anyone needing a helping hand. This particular church run food pantry is one where you pay $10 usually (the Christmas hamper was free). They then record your name and how many people are in your household and you then collect a box of prepacked grocery items and then volunteers give you extra bread, eggs, frozen goods, fruit & veg etc. There is also other food pantries like another one nearby that my family go to as well that are income checked however and you do have to qualify. So it just depends. If you're looking for a cheap food parcel (some may be free also) nearby to you and are in Australia yourself please try this link: www.foodbank.org.au Try clicking the "Find Food" button where you can put in your postcode to hopefully find one nearest to you. These websites might also help: secondbite.org/food-finder/ and www.ozharvest.org/food/receive-food-individuals/ (Sometimes though not all church food pantries are listed I've noticed, so contacting local churches in your area directly or looking up their details online may be useful too. Some only advertise on Facebook). There is some other links in the description box of this video too is you don't live in Australia. Hope that helps. Take care and thanks so much for watching😊
Aww it's must be lovely to have extended family over and everyone brings something as it must be hard for you to put on Christmas from a food bank! Blessings and hope you have a beautiful Christmas day
I love they include some decorations. For somebody all alone in a small place it would be wonderful.
Thanks Lydia, yes they were so thoughtful😊
Wonderful help, with the pantry being closed over the Holidays!
Yes, it's an amazing help for my family. We're so thankful for our local food pantry.

Yes they're such lovely, thoughtful people! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas too Cathe😊💕
Is couscous like pasta or rice??
Google
Hey Jane😊 The Pearl Couscous is toasted pasta in tiny balls... but you could definitely use it as a rice substitute!
Hi, can i ask if anybody could go to foodbank to buy food or is there a certain criteria such as income level? Thanks

How many are in your family?
4
Hi Ashley👋 We're a family of 4 (but more for Christmas with extended family)! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas over there😊
Aww it's must be lovely to have extended family over and everyone brings something as it must be hard for you to put on Christmas from a food bank! Blessings and hope you have a beautiful Christmas day
NO, they are "bon bons"..."balballs " are round ornaments to hand..regards
Sorry7 I even commented..it just came into my mind..it's all good..all festive.
That's no worries Karolyn, all good my friend😊
They're crackers in the UK! Bonbons are sweets and baubles hang on the tree.
