I was too late to get a box😟 Then I went to my friends for Thanksgiving and she has 2 boxes. She hands one to me and keeps one for herself. Her husband comes over with a pocket knife to help open them. I really don’t know what’s going on at all. And then I see it was from the UK. What an extraordinary gift!!! And I had just watched you and John and Anna packing them. I couldn’t believe my eyes. And the contents are beautiful!!
I'd love a Christmas Box but sadly they are outside of my budget. I really cannot justify :-( Well done with all the hard work everyone and choice of items for the boxes. They look wonderful! Enjoy them, everyone who is lucky enough to secure one this year.
@@lorrainerichardson3280 I love giving these sorts of gifts. I use baskets or, this year, fabric boxes I'm making. I fill them with crafted items made by me or local makers, food treats, etc. Fun for me and the recipient!
I've really enjoyed coming on this Christmas journey with you all. The boxes sold out quickly. 🙂Congratulations to everyone who got one. I'll have to be a bit quicker in the future. 🎄🎁
The experience of watching these videos reminded me of when shopping for presents was fun. You went to your local shops and had a friendly chat with the workers who really cared about what they were selling. I miss those days.
I was on the shop page literally 10 minutes after the availability start time and the boxes were already sold out! I am sooo disappointed but happy for those who were lucky to get one esp for those getting the glass tree ornaments that Kate made! Happy holidays everyone!
Agree! I bought boxes the first two years and felt so special as I opened them. I don't mind letting others have that experience of getting a special gift from Kate.
Your boxes sold out within 15 minutes, wow!!! I will start saving my dollar bills and for sure get one for myself next year. Something to look forward to. I love your channel, your family, and you. Happy holidays!
Kate, the tinsel on the tree!!!! I successfully received confirmation of my order of your lovely Christmas Box!! My son stopped by to visit this morning and I told him to help himself to coffee while I was waiting for 11:00 am time to purchase a Christmas Box!!! He asked for details and after I shared your Adventures of Box Creation....he said sounds like a perfect Christmas Gift and insisted he buy it. Very special treat. Thank you Kate and family and artist friends for lovely offerings. Can hardly wait for arrival....Blessings!
Oh gosh, I missed the boat (so to speak) trying very hard to console myself! for example: I don’t cook - why do I need an apron? I really don’t mail out holiday cards anymore. And I do not burn candles I live alone, I’m scared I’ll forget one is burning and burn my house down. I used to put up four Christmas trees, but this year I’m thinking I might not even put one up. so I guess I don’t need an Christmas ornament either darn it. Oh yeah, I don’t own a Cat. (they do look soft and cuddly though). I really wanted that box I really wanted that Christmas box . it’s adorable. all the stuff is adorable I am a new subscriber, so I now know how quickly I have to jump on it next time. I was going to hang the apron on a hook in the kitchen to Give the appearance that somebody in this house cooks, give the place a homey feel I would think! Ah well it’s all good. have a little bit of a shopping problem anyway!!! Hello from Milford, Michigan!!!!
Everything looks so lovely! It feels like Christmas morning having seen all those treasures. Please get your rest now, Kate. That was a lot of work! XX
I got one, I got one! My first!!! I was right on it watching the clock tick to 2pm. Honest I wasn’t exactly certain I was going to purchase but dove in fast and totally thrilled. The amount of energy you put into visiting all of the makers, the filming it is so great that you share your life with us like this. I have been watching you since 2018 or 19. It all started with wanting to learn more about quilting. I found you on youtube. thank you thank you Kate, Anna and all who make this such a wonderful place to go to while I’m sitting down with a cup of tea and knitting.
The Christmas box is a virtual travel experience. It is like hanging out in a village and picking up a trinket here and there and listening to the artisan before buying their wares. Very creative idea and I think that I will put one together for my friends and family next year and focus on artisans in my area. I found out that my daughter ordered me Kate's box this year. That was a very sweet surprise. Thank you for sharing your community with us Kate.
Those went FAST!! Congrats to all who got one! I was blessed to get one two years ago and still love the items that were in that box so much!! Your trees turned out beautiful Kate!!
What a wonderful way to celebrate a meaningful Christmas. Handmade. Friend made. Exquisite treats by local artisans. It doesn’t get any better than this. Kate, you and your family and friends are what I miss so much about Europe. What Americans probably refer to as “Old World Charm.” To me it is a homey feeling of showing love and affection for those around you, and pride in your creativity and work.. I watched each of the artists’ videos and watched you pack tonight and I know whoever was lucky and managed to get a box will be overjoyed when opening it. And now it is time for you to get some rest. ❤️
Oh Kate... I found your channel about a week ago. I love the Christmas boxes. While viewing your videos I find we have so many things in common. I live on a very small piece of ground but I have my garden, and flowers and of course the weeds. I have taught myself to quilt in the last 5 years. I get better with every quilt. I have 2 daughters and 5 granddaughters. I had my first go at soap making this past fall. I am rambling on, so glad I found your channel. I have 8 hens and a (cayuga) guard duck. We have many of the same likes. Blessings on your home💕 Dianne Gadsden, Alabama USA
I feel so lucky to have ordered a Christmas box. I logged in a few minutes early in readiness and amazingly it worked! Sorry to all those who missed out. It is going to be put away to open on Christmas morning. What a special present 🎁. Thanks Kate and family xxx
Dear Kate, I love 💕 how you include your community in the box items. When you consider all the self employed people this is supporting you realize the cost is so worth it. Thank you for all of the time and effort you and your family put into this channel. May you find rest now.
Just got my notice that my box shipped. Thanks, Kate, family and staff. That was quick. The rest is out of your control. However long it takes. Something to look forward to.
Lovely boxes♥️. Sold out before I could order but loved watching this video. You all have such fun assembling them, so inspirational. Inspires me keep on going with my projects. Thank you all ♥️. This is what’s happening in British Columbia this week. ☔️Terrible flooding, mudslides, towns evacuated, people trapped on highways and more. State of emergency declared and military deployed to assist. Safe here. 🙏
I was able to get one this year, i am so excited to receive this! Thank you Kate for your lovely unique Christmas boxes and all your hard work to offer these!
I'm so excited to have ordered my very first Last Homely House Christmas Box! Thank you so much Kate and your lovely family and artist friends. I hope you all have an amazing Christmas xxx
So many disappointed people who have missed out .l think you could have trebled the number of boxes and still there wouldn’t have been enough. Happy Christmas God Bless you all
I've been kicking myself for months over missing the tea towels. This year the Cat Print sealed the deal for me. Yes, I've had a couple hundred year old cats too. The more amazing things that were added, the less likely chance I figured I'd have of getting an order in and then the apron happened! Thank you internet, for not failing me today -- I got into the shop in time this time. Thank you Kate and Crew, for brightening many many days.
Jane, I got two tea towels and am willing to share. If you are comfortable sending me your address, I will ship it to you - a little Christmas present from the LGS!
If nothing else, I have really enjoyed this last weeks videos on preparing the items for the boxes. Due to too much pain, I fell asleep and awoke about 45 minutes after the sale. Of course by then all were SOLD OUT! I think you could make a 1000 boxes Kate and they would sell out in no time. SO happy for those who will get them. I know I would feel like I was 5 years old again on CHRISTmas morning opening one of the boxes. I have really enjoyed watching. I cannot imagine how exhausted you are Kate. Please take time to heal and recuperate. Blessings.
Wish I could have purchased one this year -- next year for sure! I have a great idea that John should make an item for the boxes with some of his wooden art skills. The whole family is so talented -- a real "Renaissance" family!
Okay, Kate- my daughter set a reminder and got online and ordered me a box. To be honest I likely would not have done it for myself. This box is a lovely treat. Your book of musings was so fun to read. The cards are beautiful. The icy landscape looks like another planet. There is so much thought, time, and effort put into this endeavor. So kind and lovely.
So much fun watching everyone who contributes to your annual Christmas box. Already sold out!! I hope you get a little break once every box is shipped. What a joy for all the fortunate recipients to get a little of your world in theirs. Be well!!
Last year I was fortunate enough to receive a box that John had written a message in. It was about making mac & cheese with bacon and butternut squash. Loved it! Kate you make it all such good fun, thank you.
oh - I remember that one! this year he wouldn't let us read the messages - so I have no idea what he wrote! waiting for the shares on Instagram! ha ha! xxx
I have 3 lovely sons who behave just like John! They bring me so much joy. The boxes look great but alas had all gone by the time I logged on. Enjoy some rest now Kate we don't want you getting ill again.
All the items in the box are beautiful gifts individually. Together they are a real treasure. It is so nice to have met the artists/creators. It makes each item so special. Congratulations to everyone who ordered a box. I saw they were sold out by 20minutes past the hour, probably sooner. Thank you Kate. Even though I didn't order a box, this was a fun series to see.
Late again...they go so quickly. Were wonderful to watch coming together..maybe next time...Big hugs and thanks for show..congrats to all the lucky ones..
I have really enjoyed watching all the videos. I purchased 5 trees from Phillipas shop all with silver hangers going to put on homemade stolen for Christmas here in Vancouver Canada.
Your boxes looked amazing and I wished I could have purchased one. Sadly they are out of my budget (and they sold out so fast!). I’ve really enjoyed the videos of everyone who has contributed.
I got my first box - so excited! It’s my husband’s Christmas present to me this year! I had no idea they sold out so quickly, but when I heard Kate say “good luck,” I decided to jump right on it. I can’t wait for it to arrive! ❤️❤️❤️
The same here...only it is a present from me to me! It's such a thrill to watch it all be made and put together. I feel like I've won the Xmas lottery! Happy Greetings!
So looking forward to the day when my Xmas box arrives. Had to set the alarm to wake up just before 6am to be ready! They sold out so quickly too! Well done to Kate, Anna and and all the wonderful artisans for putting together such a wonderful array of items in this year’s Xmas box. 💕💕
Still can't believe I got myself a box. So looking forward to its arrival and the fun of opening it. I feel like 5-years-old. Thank you so much, Kate, for all you do to make our lives happier. Love from the lime green sofa.
Thank you Kate. I know how much work goes into getting these boxes ready! The free shipping is very much appreciated. I wish you, your family, and your team of helpers happiness and good health this Christmas season!
Congratulations Kate - it's incredible how quickly you sold out!!! It goes to show you how much everyone not only loves your boxes but the love and care the goes into them. I love watching cheeky John, always makes me smile. xxx
I am so very happy I was able to purchase a Christmas box. Every item is packed with care and love and I will know that Kate, Anna, Martha, John and so many others were involved.I am happy to be able to support the local artisans and their creations. I very excited and will unwrap each item slowly and with relish.
Oh glory I opened my door today and low and behold my Christmas Box was on the threshold. I was so excited Northumberland made it to Utah USA. I love it. John’s cards are more lovely in person as is Phillipa’s Christmas tree. The candles smell amazing and the print’s colors are amazing. And the best of all the small thoughtful book of seven stories I will always treasure. Merry Christmas Kate and crew. 🎄
I set my timer for 1:50 my time here in Indiana and exactly at 2pm(mytime) I purchased my second Christmas box.I missed last year,I have loved the daily videos and seeing you with John and Anna.She is such a lovely daughter in law .You have such great children and their partners are special as well.There is lots of time and love packed into our Christmas boxes.Now take some time to take a rest and enjoy your down time.Lots of love to you all
It touches my heart to see you interact with your son, it shows the love you have for each other. Your daughter in law is God sent and what a blessing to have grandchildren. Boxes are very nice however funds are really tight this year. Im on a limited budget and I can hardly keep up with paying routine bills. Love you all from Tn.
It shows that the whole process is such a labor of love for you and yours. I din't try for a box but feel blessed just watching the process. Such a a gift all in its self. Thank You
Thank you, Kate. I have thoroughly enjoyed the week of videos on how the items were made and the packing of the boxes. I was lucky enough to get one this year, after missing out on last year's. It arrived this morning and everything is wonderful. I especially love that the apron has the extra long ties! So hard to find these days. Well done, all of you. Happy Holidays to all. I'd like to echo the sentiments that I would love to see the cards and aprons in the shop.
Watching all the box videos and enjoying the views of how each item is created is turning into my own personal crafty Christmas tradition. I didn’t manage to get a box, but it’ll be my turn for sure next year! Thanks for all the love you shared - it make the world a better place.❤️
I had an alarm set, but then got a phone call. By the time I was off the phone, they were sold out. Congratulations to all who are getting one! It is lovely for Kate that they sold out so quickly.
Yeah!! I was able to get one this year. This will be my first box and am so excited. Happy Christmas to me!! Thank you so much Kate for all the love that you share with the Christmas boxes.
This year I had saved the money but missed the Christmas Boxes. To all of you who got one congratulations! Hope you enjoy the contents. I will try again next year. Still, thanks Kate for putting together such lovely Christmas boxes.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. John is so mischievous. He must have been a handful as a little boy. Enjoy your rest Kate, and thank you for all your hard work.
Congratulations to everyone who was able to get an order in. They truly are special and even more because we got to see the pieces in progress and learn about all the artists too. Thanks for sharing your big hearts Kate and family!
Your boxes turned out beautifully; you put so much care and attention to them, it was lovely to meet all the artisans who contributed to your Christmas Box.
I was thrilled to see that your lovely boxes sold out so fast, but certainly not surprised! For all of us who weren’t in time to order one, we still have Kate and her lovely family to enjoy, and the daily videos regarding the production of all the lovely items. Greetings to all!
Loved your videos this week. Will try for next year. Congrats to all those that got a box. Thank you, Kate and everyone who had a hand in making us, on the lime green couch, smile
Crushed that I missed out. I was all cued up and then got a work call and came back at 15 minutes past the hour and SOLD OUT was there waiting for me. Ugh, utter disappointment. Oh well, next year, right? Congratulations to you, Kate, on the sell out, and to the lucky ones who will, no doubt, enjoy the amazing UK artisan treasures this year. May we all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season this year and well into 2022! 🎄
I must say that getting those aprons made of such sturdy fabric to fold up and roll so small was nothing short of magic. well done. The boxes look wonderful and it's so exciting how quickly they sold out. Congrats to everyone who managed to get their order in quickly enough to win one. It's almost like an auction really, isn't it? Your family has worked so well with you to put everything together & make the packing so smooth and beautiful. Happy Holidays to you all!!!! And to the artisans too.
I am excited to get Kate’s Christmas Box this year. 😁 It’s no wonder you’re tired, Kate! Doing all of this work on your Christmas Box while you’re still on the mend. No get some well-deserved rest! Thank you to everyone involved! 💜 I really appreciate the free shipping, otherwise I would not have been able to afford the Box. Snowy Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
I missed out again but am oh so happy for you Kate and for everyone who will be receiving all the beautiful goodies!!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed that one day the wonderful aprons might be available again!!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Congratulations to you and all your lovely artists and helpers!
Yay! My son came through and I'll get a lovely Christmas Box. I already know that all of the lovely paper will be included in one of the junk journals I make. Thanks, Kate et al.
Thanks and take care to rest and recuperate completely

I'd love a Christmas Box but sadly they are outside of my budget. I really cannot justify :-( Well done with all the hard work everyone and choice of items for the boxes. They look wonderful! Enjoy them, everyone who is lucky enough to secure one this year.
My idea is that the concept is great to make up similar types of boxes for friends and family. =-)
@@lorrainerichardson3280 I love giving these sorts of gifts. I use baskets or, this year, fabric boxes I'm making. I fill them with crafted items made by me or local makers, food treats, etc. Fun for me and the recipient!

You can stick those packing thingies together by damping them a little! Hours of endless fun.
oh don't let John know that! xxx

I very excited and will unwrap each item slowly and with relish.
Oh glory I opened my door today and low and behold my Christmas Box was on the threshold. I was so excited Northumberland made it to Utah USA. I love it. John’s cards are more lovely in person as is Phillipa’s Christmas tree. The candles smell amazing and the print’s colors are amazing. And the best of all the small thoughtful book of seven stories I will always treasure. Merry Christmas Kate and crew. 🎄
I set my timer for 1:50 my time here in Indiana and exactly at 2pm(mytime) I purchased my second Christmas box.I missed last year,I have loved the daily videos and seeing you with John and Anna.She is such a lovely daughter in law .You have such great children and their partners are special as well.There is lots of time and love packed into our Christmas boxes.Now take some time to take a rest and enjoy your down time.Lots of love to you all
They went so fast!! I've been in bed sick for 3 days. I've watched so closely and the boxes are gone. CONGRATULATIONS to the ones that did get one!!.
It touches my heart to see you interact with your son, it shows the love you have for each other. Your daughter in law is God sent and what a blessing to have grandchildren. Boxes are very nice however funds are really tight this year. Im on a limited budget and I can hardly keep up with paying routine bills. Love you all from Tn.
It shows that the whole process is such a labor of love for you and yours. I din't try for a box but feel blessed just watching the process. Such a a gift all in its self. Thank You
Thank you, Kate. I have thoroughly enjoyed the week of videos on how the items were made and the packing of the boxes. I was lucky enough to get one this year, after missing out on last year's. It arrived this morning and everything is wonderful. I especially love that the apron has the extra long ties! So hard to find these days. Well done, all of you. Happy Holidays to all. I'd like to echo the sentiments that I would love to see the cards and aprons in the shop.
Watching all the box videos and enjoying the views of how each item is created is turning into my own personal crafty Christmas tradition. I didn’t manage to get a box, but it’ll be my turn for sure next year! Thanks for all the love you shared - it make the world a better place.❤️
Hi Kate, it was lovely to see you packing the boxes again this year, I'll miss having a video from you tomorrow,💖
Boxes sold out in an hour!!!! John is adorable like a NAUGHTY little boy.
I had an alarm set, but then got a phone call. By the time I was off the phone, they were sold out. Congratulations to all who are getting one! It is lovely for Kate that they sold out so quickly.
Yeah!! I was able to get one this year. This will be my first box and am so excited. Happy Christmas to me!! Thank you so much Kate for all the love that you share with the Christmas boxes.
Sold out, already! The early birds got the worms!!! Watching the videos about what is in them was really well done.
What a fun project for all of you..........good job.
Can’t wait to see the Christmas boxes for 2023 ❤🎄
My goodness you work hard, Kate…..but I figure you love it, no? A labor of love. Thank you.
This year I had saved the money but missed the Christmas Boxes. To all of you who got one congratulations! Hope you enjoy the contents. I will try again next year. Still, thanks Kate for putting together such lovely Christmas boxes.
Out of my budget unfortunately I would have loved one as you’ve all worked so hard Good luck to all who got one x x
Sold out! Rats!
Congratulations to everyone quick enough to snag one.
I'm really happy for Kate and her successful shop.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. John is so mischievous. He must have been a handful as a little boy. Enjoy your rest Kate, and thank you for all your hard work.
You’ve done so much work for these boxes so that people get way more than just the wonderful things. Your love and creativity is huge!🦌💌❤️🎄
You and your family and friends are wonderful! You spread joy!
Congratulations to everyone who was able to get an order in. They truly are special and even more because we got to see the pieces in progress and learn about all the artists too. Thanks for sharing your big hearts Kate and family!
Yes!!!! I was very lucky and got one!!! Looking forward to sharing the lovely items with my friends.
Thanks everyone ❤
Snagged my box. I made sure my alert was set. Thank you, Kate and family and friends. This is my Christmas gift to me.
Your boxes turned out beautifully; you put so much care and attention to them, it was lovely to meet all the artisans who contributed to your Christmas Box.
I was thrilled to see that your lovely boxes sold out so fast, but certainly not surprised! For all of us who weren’t in time to order one, we still have Kate and her lovely family to enjoy, and the daily videos regarding the production of all the lovely items. Greetings to all!
Loved your videos this week. Will try for next year. Congrats to all those that got a box. Thank you, Kate and everyone who had a hand in making us, on the lime green couch, smile
I was getting worried that John might not mess Mum's hair. I love it when he does that!
he does it when I'm not filming too - he's a clown! xxx
Beautiful…I see love in all the friends and family that you share with us…thank you Kate ❤️from Minnesota ❄️
Videos by ANNA, pics by John, apron design by Martha & book by Kate. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Crushed that I missed out. I was all cued up and then got a work call and came back at 15 minutes past the hour and SOLD OUT was there waiting for me. Ugh, utter disappointment. Oh well, next year, right? Congratulations to you, Kate, on the sell out, and to the lucky ones who will, no doubt, enjoy the amazing UK artisan treasures this year. May we all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season this year and well into 2022! 🎄
I must say that getting those aprons made of such sturdy fabric to fold up and roll so small was nothing short of magic. well done. The boxes look wonderful and it's so exciting how quickly they sold out. Congrats to everyone who managed to get their order in quickly enough to win one. It's almost like an auction really, isn't it? Your family has worked so well with you to put everything together & make the packing so smooth and beautiful. Happy Holidays to you all!!!! And to the artisans too.
I am looking forward to receiving my Christmas box so much! It was so generous of you to offer free shipping. ❤️
I am excited to get Kate’s Christmas Box this year. 😁
It’s no wonder you’re tired, Kate! Doing all of this work on your Christmas Box while you’re still on the mend. No get some well-deserved rest!
Thank you to everyone involved! 💜
I really appreciate the free shipping, otherwise I would not have been able to afford the Box.

Yay! My son came through and I'll get a lovely Christmas Box. I already know that all of the lovely paper will be included in one of the junk journals I make. Thanks, Kate et al.
Lovely boxes. I just love to see the interactions between you and John. Very special indeed and you are so very lucky.
I am happy to say I was lucky to get a Christmas Box before they sold out 😊. Thanks Kate for the videos this week, they were such fun to watch.
Sorry I miss the Christmas box, thanks for sharing with me the journey, maybe next year.
