We don't do Christmas presents anymore since the tsunami in Thailand in 2004. Instead everybody chooses their favourite charities and we donate to those :) Lovely video though and I do enjoy watching this! :D
Love the idea of noting down gift ideas for people on your phone - I’m definitely going to start doing that! And I agree, giving gifts and seeing the reactions is so much better than receiving x
I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes notes throughout the year if things that people have mentioned. It’s always my bit of gifting advice for people!
“...let’s just wait for that motorbike to go by...cheers mate!” thumbs up..hehe lol. That made me smile!! Great sense of humour. Lovely video thanks! 😁👍🇦🇺
I make notes all year around, of what people have mentioned and what I want too. Makes the whole shopping process so muchs easier. I have done this for years, and I will never stop doing it, lol
To those complaining about the price range, just because you can't afford it, it doesn't mean other people watching this can't afford it too. Stop being so negative and jealous.
This is the very fjrst time I wtch your videos and I fall in. Your sound, your perspective, and the way you describe beauty of those simpke things are just...❤
Your Christmas videos are my FAVORITE! and I'm the same with enjoying giving even more than receiving because it just makes me so so excited!!! And i also collect ideas on my phone throughout the year hahaha xx
Can't wait until SourcedBox is available in Australia!!! Everything just looks so delicious and convenient! I also love that it's different each month - I definitely am the sort of person that gets bored of snacking on the same thing each month!
I do the exact same thing! I keep a list on my phone on gift ideas and things each person likes as ideas for Christmas and birthdays. Then I feel like I've really thought about each person, rather than being last minute :)
You probably get this a lot, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on getting sourced box to deliver in the US! I would definitely be a customer and it's really annoying that in this day and age where you can ship anywhere in the world, geography is the reason I am unable to purchase this product.
The printing out photos ideas was so so so cute! I never would've thought of that to give as a present, so thank you so much! I am going to be sure to use that (maybe even for myself :)
Wish I could afford one of those gifts for my family ...sadly I’m aimed at £10 or less per present, love u and your videos Niomi but for the most of us all of those gifts are waaaayyyy out of most people’s price ranges...bit unrealistic...sorry...
It is realistic for her! Bit difficult to please everybody tbh. I get where you're coming from. I'm in the same boat as you but you can search for more affordable versions of the gifts she suggested. No one's forcing you to buy the same exact ones.
You come across so positively in this post, without being too "OH MY GOD SANTA'S COMING!" Without a doubt my favourite Gift Guide so far. i've got the Bluebird Tea Co. calendar this year and will definitely think about going to them for stocking fillers. I'm also so intrigued by Sourced Box :D I love the hippeas crisps!
I do the sam ething with the notes on the phone! it is just so convenient because you just have to lookand decide what to get for people from the lost... I usually have all of the presents by the beginning of December :)
Nice gift guide, Niomi. Disappointed to see you didn't personally edit your video. I feel RUclipsrs/influencers are becoming less and less personalised now. Part of the appeal of RUclipsrs is not only your actual content, but the editing too; YOUR editing. It tells us a lot about you- your aesthetic, personality, etc. I don't think it's a great road to go down. I understand editing must be time consuming and you have other projects, but this is (one of) your jobs, remember! Sorry to be whine-y, Niomi. X

whyeveryusernamegone What a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do for Christmass..♡

Daniella Hodgson same! I never really thought of that but it's gonna help so much!
Daniella Hodgson I wrote everything on my phone, including gifts ideas, it’s so handy 😊😊😊
Jo Malone is a great one! The candles aren't too "heavy" on the fragrance, it's nice.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes notes throughout the year if things that people have mentioned. It’s always my bit of gifting advice for people!
Anyone else just LOOOOOVE buying gifts for friends and family? I've already started like a week ago hahah xxx
I started in September lol
I once bought everything in the january sales. It was painfull to have to wait a year to give the present though.
You are your home look so cozy! Getting all the holiday vibes!😍✨🎄✨💖✨☕️
Niomi can you please come Christmas shopping with me! 🙋 You always have the best ideas! ♥ xx
I love all your videos but your Christmas themed/Christmas time videos are my faves. I watch your vlogmas when I’m feeling down and it helps a lot.
You are so awesome for highlighting Mihaela Noroc’s book! Beautiful example of women supporting women! 💗
I'm loving the backround 😍💖
“...let’s just wait for that motorbike to go by...cheers mate!” thumbs up..hehe lol. That made me smile!! Great sense of humour. Lovely video thanks! 😁👍🇦🇺
I love the way you did this video. With the general idea, then getting more specific, and finally giving your personal recommendations. 10/10
I make notes all year around, of what people have mentioned and what I want too. Makes the whole shopping process so muchs easier. I have done this for years, and I will never stop doing it, lol

Your Christmas background looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Yaaaas your Christmas videos are my fave I hope you love filming the videos as much as I love watching them (which is lots) xxx
Love your gift guides, Niomi! They're always so creative but not totally weird or anything. Thanks!
Do a tutorial of curls with a straightner! Love you
Thank you, you have helped me find a gift for my mum that i have been looking for for ages!
I love your sweater! It's festive without being red and green
Backdrop and cutaways are SO PERFECT x
I honestly love the vibes of niomi's videos. It's always so calming and so positive. Love you niomi!💜
This is so thoughtful. You can see that you’ve put a lot of effort in to thinking of the gifts. Definitely something for everyone xx
Literally paused the video and ordered the magnets straight away! Such a good idea!
Love your recommendations I really got some inspiration. I always love giving someone cooking classes as a gift or tea classes. ♡
This is a really good video! You look so relaxed and comfortable, it's lovely to watch!
Luv your videos.I love receiving gifts & giving too ☺
This is the very fjrst time I wtch your videos and I fall in. Your sound, your perspective, and the way you describe beauty of those simpke things are just...❤

Can't wait for your vlogmas to start. I'm super excited for Christmas xx
These are super helpful, I’m doing a gift guide for him as I find it so hard to buy for guys 😅
The atlas of beauty is such a thoughtful gift !
Can't wait until SourcedBox is available in Australia!!! Everything just looks so delicious and convenient! I also love that it's different each month - I definitely am the sort of person that gets bored of snacking on the same thing each month!
My major is package design so just seeing you obsess over the packaging makes me so happy! :)
I literally want your friendship as a gift! xx
I like how you decorate your house! And the gift ideas are so lovely!
... and Molton Brown products smell divinely too!!
This is the best gift guide I have seen in a long time
Superb gift ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I honestly love listening to you talk!☺️
Lovely. I totally agree that giving experiences is a great idea. I have bought supper club vouchers for my sister for Christmas.
The author of The atlas of beauty did a TED talk about the story behind that book, very interesting, have a look at it! :) Thanks for the ideas!!
You can get the bouja chocolates on amazon for £13.50. :)
I do the exact same thing! I keep a list on my phone on gift ideas and things each person likes as ideas for Christmas and birthdays. Then I feel like I've really thought about each person, rather than being last minute :)
Niomi I do the exact thing with notes about gifts!! So helpful as opposed to having to come up with things on the fly for people
The Atlas of Women is a fabulous book!
My friends and I are doing secret santa this year and this was very helpful. Thanks a lot 💕
I always create a list on my phone throughout the year it is so helpful! Especially for people that are hard to shop for.
Great gift ideas thanks for an awesome video! Would love it if the prices could be put on the screen as well as the name of the gift.
You are such a warm and positive person Niomi!!
I think you mentioned last year keeping a present list and I have been doing it ever since. Such a great help!
Such lovely presents! Given me so many great ideas for next year
Loved these gift ideas Niomi! Your festive videos brighten my day and get me in the Christmas spirit
Amazing ideas and I REALLY LOVE THE BACKGROUND!
You probably get this a lot, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on getting sourced box to deliver in the US! I would definitely be a customer and it's really annoying that in this day and age where you can ship anywhere in the world, geography is the reason I am unable to purchase this product.
I get so excited when you mentioned The Atlas of Beauty!! The author is from Romania ♡
I would love to get your book for Christmas!
Love your videos, Naomi.

OMG NIOMI THE LIST AND STUFF I DO THAT TOO!! And sometimes they're just like... "How did you remember??"
Wish I could afford one of those gifts for my family ...sadly I’m aimed at £10 or less per present, love u and your videos Niomi but for the most of us all of those gifts are waaaayyyy out of most people’s price ranges...bit unrealistic...sorry...

How about a candle or a book or a snack box that you can make yourself for less than 10? :)
You come across so positively in this post, without being too "OH MY GOD SANTA'S COMING!" Without a doubt my favourite Gift Guide so far. i've got the Bluebird Tea Co. calendar this year and will definitely think about going to them for stocking fillers.
