    In one of your previous videos, you suggested using one of the Dollar Tree scarfs as a table runner, I adopted the idea for a family Christmas party this weekend at my father's senior living community. They provided white table cloths and red napkins and I bought two scarfs for each table and criss crossed them on a square table. I then bought three black Dollar Tree frames of different sizes and put old family Christmas pictures in them on top of the scarfs. It really added a festive feeling to the room and everyone loved the old pictures. The total decorations were $30 for a large room set for 24 people. Thanks so much for the idea!

      I did 2 runners out of the scarves too and I made pillows to match! Such a good idea and everyone comments on them when they come into our home.
      Love your channel!
      Happy Holidays💓

    • @annejoyner3729
      @annejoyner3729 5 лет назад

      Denise G they are a little picked over in our area, but a manager heard us talking and said they lots in the back and someone went back and got them for us. Might be worth asking!

    Really appreciate you taking so much time and effort to do these videos. They really add value and reduce stress for last minute shopping on a tight budget. Loved all of the ideas but my personal favorite was a toss between the wine basket and the "make something from a recipe book" basket. Clever and creative! Thank you.

  • @katehehl
    @katehehl 5 лет назад

    YAAAS, Kathryn! This method is my go-to year round! I've been invited to things last minute (we are talking an hour before) and I've ran to the dollar tree, grabbed a pretty container, card, bow and cellophane and filled that thing with $15-$20 worth of items I know they'll love. It never feel last minute to that special person. It's a win-win! It works for birthdays, holidays, milestones like baby showers.. etc. Thanks for sharing your ideas and thinking of those of us on a budget! ❤

    I love doing this. I enjoy finding items that I know the person will actually use plus a few ”new-to-them" items & putting them in a reusable container. Outs also a fav to receive, it feels very personal. Tfs & for the little dance at the end. 😊

    @percyperanamus7432 5 лет назад

    Oh I could pinch myself for not having gotten around to seeing this in 2018- this is by far the BEST gift idea video of 2018. The ideas are smart, cute, personable and realistically priced. I'm pinning the video for the holiday season and I think there's lots of great ideas here for general gifts for other occasions too. Also if you can spare the storage space I always make a mental note BECAUSE the dollartree by me is in horrible shape the closer we get to December, to just grab little goodies I see throughout the year that I think friends&family would love, and I tuck them away to be wrapped and gifted in December.

    I work with kids and I love the magnetic Christmas countdown! Fun fact: DT cookie sheets are magnetic and could possibly work for this as well. I got my niece a mixture of animal and alphabet magnets, decided to chance a DT cookie sheet and it worked! entertains her for extended periods of time. 🙌🏼 I loved both of your baskets too! They look like lavish gifts that I’d love to receive! Thanks for the ideas that don’t break the bank! 🎅🏼🎄🎁🎉

    i love making those baskets! what i do is use baskets that i already have a ton of! i used to collect baskets and i have so many now but i didn't want to just send them to the thrift store because i had paid a lot for some of them.. so i use them for things like this. it's fun too. i love the idea of a cook book marked and all the ingredients added! so smart. and yes.. the book section in dollar tree is awesome. i buy books there all the time and have a family that loves to read so it's a gold mine for me!!

    Those little candles are magnificent! I bought a few watermelon ones back in April for a baby shower (because they were pink and the location was a tad musty smelling). Anyway, the place smelled like watermelons in no time and the scent even covered up some of the louder food smells. I was super impressed! GOT to check out the cinnamon one as that is my Christmas scent!
    I also hit Dollar Tree for stocking stuffers - nail files, lint rollers, travel packs of tissues, hair bands, etc - combined with some candy and a magazine make one great stocking! My friends love it!

    I had been agonizing over what activities I could add to our Advent Calendar so we've never really followed through with it. The little building block gifts (or others) is great for those days when we won't have the proper amount of time to devote to an activity. Thank you for such an adorable idea Kathryn! It also takes care of a spot in my home that I just don't get along with....the side of my refrigerator. This is a kid-friendly idea that has a purpose, but also calms my need for things to appear cohesive. Colds have struck our house so in between disinfecting sessions, I've been watching more and more of your videos. I didn't think I was addicted, but I tried watching some other vloggers yesterday. Nope. Sorry. They just didn't have the same sparkle and innovation.
    P.S. I just watched one of your cleaning videos and you said that music with 160+bpm helps motivate to clean. Could you post some or all of your cleaning playlist? Thanks!
