What a great idea to make shopping for your own stockings a date night. I'm sure it made shopping for your own stockings feel more special, and also gave each of you ideas about what little things the other might like as a little treat in the future. We definitely take advantage of the amazon wish lists as well. It still leaves room for surprises while ensuring people get the specific brand/colour/model of thing they hope for.
My mom and I do our own stockings, but we add a few surprises to each other's stockings. It's a very practical thing to do without wasting money on guesses on what she might want or need in her stocking.
In my country only children put out a Christmas stocking to be filled. Interesting to see what other cultures and families do. I love the idea of new bedding for Christmas. You got a lot of lovely new things, particularly liked the crochet dishcloths.
What a beautiful bunch of gifts! I love them all. I would be so happy to receive and of those. I love that you and Andrew went shopping together for your stockings. That’s a great idea.
I absolutely love your gifts! My oldest brother's family scaled back on their kids' gifts this year, and my mom scaled back on the amount she spent per person as well. My niece told my mom she had the best Christmas ever. It's not about the amount spent, but about the thought that goes into selecting something that you think the other person would enjoy or needs, and even the kids noticed that it was a good thing. I'm glad you had a nice Christmas, as well. Thank you for sharing what you received. I'm still hoping to find time to film mine.
That’s fun to do your gifts that way! I love the coloring book, so relaxing to color and think! A nice variety of fun things and useful things, perfect🙂
Very thoughtful, heartfelt practicle gifts you received. Love you have your very own penxil crayons for your colouring book! That is important sometimes for your own pleasure. I am sure you love embroidery kit! Take care 😊 16:03
I always buy for my 3 kids stockings and my husband. I also buy something for my own stocking. My kids are in their early 20's and this is the first year they realized that I didn't get anything in my stocking except a lipstick I bought for myself 🤣 After that I had 2 nights of stuff in my stocking to open 😂
I love the idea of buying your own stocking! We had an Amazon Christmas too, with a sprinkle of SHEIN. Some of the stuff on there is the same as Amazon for 1/3 of the price! I make a French vanilla cappuccino mix with hot chocolate powder, coffee whitener, powdered sugar and instant coffee. It makes a great gift in a nice jar!
We do that with stocking too. We moved to New State and a brand new home so we're buying what we need for the house for Christmas this year. Great video
I have about 30 people. I have to buy Christmas for so I spend 25 on each adult and I spend 50 on the children, but I told everyone that next year or this year, actually in December, we are going to do thrifted and homemade gifts. And I love having a simple Christmas, and I love all y'all's Christmas gifts, they're beautiful. Dishcloths are one of my favorite things to get. I love getting things that I can use in my house.
30 people??? Oh my! I told my family, let’s stop exchanging gifts (basically exchanging money) & just bring lots of good food & get together. Takes the pressure off & we save money!
@RockyMB2021 I agree. As grown ups we earn our own money and can buy what we want and need so no need to give adults Christmas gifts. I have 5 siblings, 4 of whom have their own families and my husband has 4 siblings, and 3 of them have their own families. As far as adults, we only buy gifts for our parents and grandparents and only do a small treat for the nieces and nephews. Don’t know where we would store everything if everyone gave gifts to each other

that mama bear apologetics book is great.
So many nice items! You can tell that each one was thoughtfully picked out! ❤
I always feel bad about Amazon but they make it soo easy.
It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas!
We did the same thing for our stockings this year. Took the pressure off 😊
We had to buy new bedding right before Christmas as well. Same on hoping for good mattress sales soon.

I bought that book last year and read it with friends.

Yes I have shopped there before too! Amazon’s one day shipping is so nice though 😄 Yum that sounds good, and such a simple gift idea!
We do that with stocking too. We moved to New State and a brand new home so we're buying what we need for the house for Christmas this year. Great video
Oh that’s exciting! I love getting items that are useful for the household 😊
nice gifts! i also got a adult colouring book and a set of markers im loving it!
Oh that’s so fun! 😊

Dish claws?
Very nie gifts! You forgot the "s" in Christmas, in the video title, might help the video get noticed more.
Oh thank you!
Small typo in the word Christmas in your title.
Fixed now! Thanks 😊
