Wow, Katie, what an amazing neighbor/friend/parent you are! With a RUclips channel, a job, and a family you still take the time to make these baskets and put so much thought and love into them. I love the way you created the rustic style of basket, and the recipients can recycle or compost everything too. Thanks for sharing another basket video, I love these!! 🥰
Hey Katie, are you kidding of course we watch how could we not? Your a delight so great that you do the hauls for us then gift out all the extras, you have a great system and I for one appreciate you and the time and attention you put in - wow you’ve got a great voice too 🥰🥰
I have literally never commented on a RUclips video before but I just had to say that I LOVE the idea of making little baskets and basket filler out of the grocery bags. It is such a cute, sustainable option that doesn’t require me to go thrift a basket. And the gift receiver can easily recycle the basket after peeling the tape off! It would be even better to make them with recyclable, paper tape. Such a great idea and adorable baskets! Thanks for sharing 😊
Such a great sentiment, “It’s not how much it cost but that you took the time to make it”. That is the meaning of the season. Thank you Katie for reminding us of that🎄
Katie, what a wonderful idea ~ you are not only creative but very thoughtful as well. We all need to be as caring as you are. There are so many things going on in our world and what we all need is to reach out and let others know we care. God's blessings to you!
You are just so sweet. What a beautiful basket for Benson’s teachers. I work as a TA in an elementary school. Thank fully gir appreciating his teachers. I always buy boxes of Baci every Christmas. It’s a tradition plus they are delicious
Thank you for the clever and cute gift basket ideas. I watch all your videos and so enjoy your kind, fun and giving spirit. The gifts are well thought out and I’m sure loved by all the recipients. Thanks for sharing great ideas, product information and your lovely family with us! Joan
What a great idea for gift baskets! And a added bonus, I have an excuse to buy more things for TJ's for the bags. 😊. You always come up with unique ideas. Thank you for sharing this one.
I now know how to double bag neatly because of your expertise! I have so many of these Trader Joe's bags and I can't wait to turn them into gift baskets now :D Thank you so much and I love watching all of your TJ haul & taste reviews :) Always a thumbs up to you !
I love this! What a great idea! I’m going to a vegan dinner and vision board making with some friends . I cut up some old Trader Joe’s bags to use for making vision boards. I figure the handle on the bags could be useful if someone wants to hang theirs on the wall. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your inventive mind. These baskets out of Trader Joe’s bags is genius! I thought last year’s tip using a shredder for the bags was great but this year you put the icing on the cake! Love your videos and love to go to Trader Joe’s after watching. Hope your Christmas is merry and bright.
Love this Katie! I am doing gift baskets also this year. I have been picking up the special Trader Joe's items for a while now and I am so excited to be able to gift some of the amazing spices and body care. 🙋♀️💞
Absolutely love all of these baskets! So adorable and I love the fact that you stressed that they don’t have to be perfect! You’re absolutely amazing Katie!
Katie, I gave Trader Joe's bags last year full of Christmas goodies. Wish I had known then how to make basket like this. Will differently make this time around. Thanks for idea.
Katie wow what a creative gift basket idea and with so much love poured into them! Thanks for sharing the stories behind the people you are giving to. Your kindness and compassion is inspiring and contagious! You are a true Blessing! Merry Christmas sweet girl! :)
Love, love, love the baskets made from Trader Joe's bags. 💖💖💖 Your neighbors are going to be very happy. I think the reusable shopping bags are also good for gifting and if I ever get over Covid, I intend to shop for items to fill one for my neighbor who helps me so much.
Thank you, Katie, this video is timed so perfectly! I went to several stores yesterday looking for baskets and they were either completely sold out or had just the most sad looking ones left. I remembered last year you did something similar with bags so I came home and watched that video but I like this idea of cutting and folding even better. Problem solved! Now, the only question is, do I confess I had a creative mentor or do I let them think I'm the clever one? 😁
What a great tutorial!! So fun! I am totally going to do this! I love that you know all your neighbors. Everyone should be inspired by you. Are you having a cold snap? Love the cute beanie. I found out the Amped Up Almonds are discontinued...😢
It has been pretty cold here and raining on and off. Ya those almonds were selling for a penny the other day at my store. I’ve never seen anything like it, it was wild!
They have cellophane at Dollar General with the regular birthday wrapping paper. The only reason I found out is I thought I was getting silver with my son’s bday gifts…lol.

A perfect answer to all those customers that say "what am I supposed to do with all these paper bags!" 👍👏
Great ideas..you just took some stress off of me!! You look adorable too!!

The bag basket is such a great idea. Could also put some cardboard in bottom to make even more sturdy. Also cellophane avail on Amazon

Great gift baskets using the items from TJs as well as the brown paper bags to hold them, Katie! You are so creative and generous!!

This is perfect and such great timing!! I’m needing a box for Trader Joe’s items but didn’t want to spend $20+
Katie wow what a creative gift basket idea and with so much love poured into them! Thanks for sharing the stories behind the people you are giving to. Your kindness and compassion is inspiring and contagious! You are a true Blessing! Merry Christmas sweet girl! :)
Thank you Arlene! What a sweet comment to read. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks Gayla. Oh no, I didn’t realize you had Covid. I’m so sorry. You are in my thoughts and I wish nothing more than for you to get well. 💕
So smart and creative!!
Very nice! I love this.
Love what you do.
Love the recycled trader joes gift bags. What a great idea
Katie, love this so much! You’re so very sweet to share your haul loot! And I appreciate the Trader Joe’s bag reusable idea!
So dang cute, Katie!!! What a fantastic idea- Merry Christmas❤️💚❤️💚
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Great video!
I love Baci, but I have not been able to find it. Great gift ideas!
In a pinch, you can use window insulation plastic, and even use a hair dryer to shrink it to fit your basket after you've assembled it. 😉
What a great way to repurpose the bags. I love ❤️ this. Thank you 😊
This is such a great and cute idea! I have so many of the Trader Joe's bags. Now I have a great way to use them. Thank you! 💛
Loving it! My high schooler needs to give gifts to teachers next week!

You let them think you are the clever one 😊
This is amazing!!!
What a great tutorial!! So fun! I am totally going to do this!
I love that you know all your neighbors. Everyone should be inspired by you.
Are you having a cold snap? Love the cute beanie.
I found out the Amped Up Almonds are discontinued...😢
It has been pretty cold here and raining on and off.
Ya those almonds were selling for a penny the other day at my store. I’ve never seen anything like it, it was wild!
Love it. You are so sweet.
Wow, you give nice teacher gifts. We just give cards and Starbucks gift cards. 🤣
It’s my first year so I’m glad you think they are great 😊
So creative!
I love this basket idea! Super cute! Are these bags free with purchase? I always use my reusable bags so not sure.
They have cellophane at Dollar General with the regular birthday wrapping paper. The only reason I found out is I thought I was getting silver with my son’s bday gifts…lol.
So cute as usual! Why dont u use shrink wrap bags tho? They are much cleaner and crisper looking presentation wise.
I’m really proud how mine turned out 😊
You are so sweet!
Babe did you go skiing after this? I thought you lived in California 😂 this is so cute tho
❤
How do you get the bags? Do they just give them to you?
They cost .10
If you don't have a paper shredder then use the bag handles.
