    My husband has been gone 14yrs and Christmas was his favorite. He was like a little boy and i caught him once shaking a package. What a great idea from the dollar store. Merry Christmas to everyone.

    I've not been to a single store in 5 months, 3 small gifts purchased online for the 3 eldest grandchildren who live with me, rubber boots were ordered from amazon. Bought nothing for the littlest as she's had loads in her near 3 months on this earth. We will eat together with my daughter,am beyond grateful she finally got out of hospital after weeks of the worries of her being critically ill with one super bug infection to the next since she had baby V. There was a long time we thought she wouldn't make it! Thank the lord and those of you who sent prayers for her. This year has been interesting that's for sure! Love and best wishes to Patara and family and all of the regulars here ❤

    I have done this before for the adult kids or a niece who had kids .I agree that when Dollar Tree was a dollar, I bought 2 granddaughters a bunch of makeup . Now that nobody comes around, it's different. I've been sick for a couple of weeks and went to the doctor today because of hopefully, the medicine is allergic. Reacted and broke out in hives, they gave me different antibiotics and prescription . But hopefully, they said I would be better by Christmas . Merry Christmas, everyone ❤️

    This year we've made our grown kids 2 goody bags each.
    The first one is a bucket (we call it the puke bucket), liners for the bucket, all sorts of things you'd need when you have the flu....dayquil/nyquil, emergen-c drink packs, cough drops, vapor rub, liqui IV, chicken noodle soup, tissues, lysol spray, hand sanitizer, pepto tablets, a bottle of local honey, and a few other things.
    The second goody bag has two of the emergency fire blankets, small fire extinguishers and a couple of the battery light switches to hang near your wired switches for when the power is out.

    I took my wife shopping this last weekend. I have never seen so many people shopping and spending money in my life. We were checking out in TJMax and the line was at least 75 ft. long. Lucky they had 6 regular checkouts, with real people doing the checking out. They were really fast doing the checkout, so I would like to give those employees a lot of kudoos. Merry Christmas everyone and remember the reason for the season.

    One year for our extended family Christmas we had everyone who wanted to participate bring a generic wrapped gift for $20 or less. Then we did like a "white elephant" exchange where you draw numbers and everyone chooses a gift in order of the numbers. Each person when it's their turn gets to either open a new gift or "steal" a gift that's already been opened-- the catch is that unless you are have the last number the gift you take from someone could be taken from you by the next person. If you get your gift stolen you have to choose another gift to open. One of my great aunts brought a bag full of dollar items like your gift for your son. We were half way through the numbers and had opened plenty of nice, but generic, gifts such as candles, coffee mugs, towels, music cds, movies, etc and no one had "stolen" anything yet... Until that gift bag full of items got opened. Then the next 5 adults in a row "stole" the gift bag full of goodies one after another, each time to louder and louder roars of laughter from everyone in the room. All the adults wanted that goodie bag! I was a teen at the time and looking back It was one of the most fun Christmas gift exchanges I can remember.

    We did the my sibling Christmas yesterday. I provided a notebook with plastic sleeves for the cookbook I made the first year our mom died. I scanned the original and emailed it to them so they could print it and/or email it on to their own children. I also handed out jars of pumpkin butter (made from those left uncared) at Halloween and chokecherry jelly. As a child I made lots of peanut butter and chokecherry jelly sandwiches for our school lunches (we went to a one room country school). To top of their Christmas I shared some cheeses that I bought from Azure Standard.

    You're such an awesome Mama. . I tried this one year on the husband's family. We drew names . I got my sister in law who she and her husband are always over extended with their finances to the extent of lights turned off and even repossession. So I felt the need to do a goodie bag. I did also throw in a few more personal girly items. Unfortunately the reaction was not one of thanks. I'm glad your boys are thankful.

    I used to coupon heavily so I used to make up baskets of stuff, particularly for family members that were struggling. I haven’t couponed much since Covid, kind of got of of it. I didn’t run out of laundry soap for more than a year, and we do a lot of laundry lol

    I made a couple small gift bags for some neighbor ladies. I included 2 travel packs tissues and one each hand sanitizer, lip balm, hand cream, fuzzy socks and Hall's vitamin C lozenges. All from the Dollar Tree including the bags...total before tax $15. Do you sense a theme here? Winter preparedness.

    Great idea Patara! I’ve seen your past videos of this but for your new subscribers they should know too! I just left our Giant Eagle … I stood in line for an hour regretting not going sooner. I’ve been baking cookies & putting it off because I’ve been busy. I’ve never seen this grocery store this busy - ever. I’ve been going here for years! Wall to wall people!
    I did buy 5 bags of Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer. Im Christmas shopping for our dinner & still stocking!
    Merry Christmas again! Love you all! God bless! ♥️
