I’m not even part of the reunion and I kept getting excited for each item you were showing Mary (like I found myself saying “ooh I’d pick that.” And then you’d show another and I’d want that one instead 😂) ! Way to pick all the door prizes!!
I loved going to family reunions as a kid in the 80's. I miss them so much. We had door prizes at one of them. I lived with my grandma and she'd bring me to one of hers, and it was HUGE. When I was around 6, my grandma won these huge gaudy neon yellow earrings with rhinestones and I wanted them sooo bad!! We didn't get to pick what we won, and they weren't her style at all, but she said I was too young for them. I used to sneak into her room and try them on all the time. A few years later, I won a toaster oven at age 10 😂 My grandma tried to get me to trade it for something else because we already had a much nicer toaster oven at home, but I wasn't having it. I told her I needed it for my bedroom so I could cook in there 😂😂 She said "Absolutely not, you'll burn the house down" but let me take it home anyway with the agreement to save it until I was older. I was so proud to have my own toaster oven at age 10, even though it lived in a closet. I did actually find it again when I was in my late teens and did, in fact, cook in my bedroom against the rules like a little stinker.
The first video I watched of yours was the family reunion haul video from last year. I loved it and have watched ever since then. Also, I love the rug!!
Your voice is so soothing and makes me feel so calm. Ive found that youre the only ASMRtist who can calm me from a panic attack 💜 thank you so much for helping me and so many others. Youre amazing 💜💜💜
Wow Mary this is super interesting to me, I have a really small family. There is just myself, my daughter, my mum, my dad, my sister, my niece and my paternal grandparents and uncle. I don’t know any of my other relatives I would love to be part of a big family like this!
my first ever video i watched of yours was back in 2020/2021 i believe of your last family reunion door prize show and tell. i fell asleep so quick to that and have been watching your videos since. glad to see a return! keep up the good work mary
I bought that same auto safety kit on sale and that cooler for my reunion a door prizes! I love all your ideas! I still need to buy a few more things. Definitely adding some camping chairs now.
Chindi rugs are beautiful i have two my sister found them at K&B which has closed recently.. but similar to a dollatstore but better.. I hope you and your family have a great time and a beautiful day. You picked great door prizes 🦋💜
I don't have to buy any. I do it voluntarily. Every year, I buy as many as I feel like buying. (I never get enough in donations to cover it, so I just buy it out of pocket. It's fun, so I keep doing it.)
I love this video. Found myself longing for a bigger family- or just one that got together for something other than funerals. Hope your reunion is a great time!
That’s awesome you have reunions. My family doesn’t even have holidays even with immediate family because everyone is divorced, no one likes the 2nd spouse, and no one can get along. So you having reunions is awesome!
I was so excited when I saw this posted, I fell asleep about half way through last night so I shall watch the rest tonight 😀 love your show and tell videos. Your paring down my coat collection is a favourite. You've mentioned on Everyday Mary about dropping things off to Goodwill, any chance you could do a similar video next time you are having a clear out?
I love you sooo so so so so much. I absolutely love your role plays especially the doctor/dentist/seller ones. I could watch them a million times. Could you possibly dabble back into the doctor roleplays, a little whisper and a little soft spoken? This might be looked over but I thought I’d ask. I love your channel 😭😭❤️
It's still a raffle, even if they aren't paying money for the tickets. Raffle just means a random drawing. Thanks for this. I made a comment on your golf video about you being too entertaining for me to fall asleep to your videos. I'm too interested in this so I can't sleep. It's okay. I always have the option to watch your jewelry vids. Those work for me. I hope you have/had fun at your reunion!!! You always do so much for us. I wish I had a billion dollars to give you because you deserve it. I just come for the whispers. Your southern accent just calms me. You have such a motherly-vibe. Do your kids and family know how much you've helped other people?
My family reunion is coming up Memorial Weekend. And there will be close to 200-250 people there! Some will be old family friends. But most will be blood related family. If we get a head count I will come back and mention how many were actually there. Forgot to mention , I think this will be our 47th reunion.
Amazing prizes Mary! I’d love to borrow this idea for our family reunion! Do you have to purchase these items yourself or do you collect money from family members for the event to cover costs?
If short on space putting everything in the car, just put the smaller things into the coolers or bigger items...wish we did door prizes at our reunion lol love u and your videos
The coolers will be full of drinks and ice. I know better than to put anything in the door prize coolers because I'll forget to remove it when I get there, because I'm busy nonstop from the time I get there until the time I leave.
@@SouthernASMRSounds if your son can drive there then can load his car down too, unless just trying to keep everyone in same car...I'm sure you'll be able to Jenga or Tetris everything in, even have to put some things on your kids laps lol you're smart, you'll figure something out 💪❤️😊
We call these spot prizes. Most of the time the number just gets written on your hand with permanent marker. We also don't have a prize for everyone so lots of people don't even get a go at the table. The parents are yelling at their kids to choose the wine.
Ok I don’t know if you mentioned this over the years or if you would mind answering this question if you read this. Do you buy all prizes out of your pocket or how does it work. And is is potluck for food and drink?
My family gather together every Christmas Eve and everyone spends about £10-20 on random door prizes and we wrap them up and go around the group picking tickets from youngest to eldest until they run out. It's so fun and you never know what you're going to end up with 😊
I'm very new to this reunion thing, i've never heard of family reunion or door prize. Does everyone being this much stuff or it's just you? Do you all contribute money or it's just from your side? Can you please make a separate video explaining what exactly it is and how does it work or function?
It's possible! In my family.... my Great Grandfather that was born in 1900 and had I think 12 children. There is over 300 living descendants , probably getting close to 400 now. Our family reunion is coming up Memorial Weekend. And there will be close to 200-250 people there! Some will be old family friends. But most will be blood related family. If we get a head count I will come back and mention how many were actually there.
Very possible. About four generations back, both sides of my family had a LOT of kids. Those kids had kids, and those kids had kids...Now I have a TON of relatives. If you looked at your family tree, you may find that the same is true for you, too. Just because you don't see them often doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere. I just happen to have two families who've stayed in touch and love to get together.
@@SouthernASMRSounds that’s super cool, you have inspired me to try to piece together a family tree because I only know about 15 family members currently
There’s not many families that get together anymore for family reunions that’s awesome that your family still does! What a fun ASMR video thank you!
I always thought family reunions were really cool. My family was really too small and some of em ain't worth reuniting with lol.
My boyfriend who always hears me listen to Mary every night says “Mary runs family reunions too, what doesn’t she do?” Lol
Hi Mary! Myself and my 3 year old daughter love you! She always whispers, "Hello, it's good to see you" when you come on the TV!, 💜
How cool, that you have that family reunion and such a big family. You can tell how much you enjoy doing this.
I’m not even part of the reunion and I kept getting excited for each item you were showing Mary (like I found myself saying “ooh I’d pick that.” And then you’d show another and I’d want that one instead 😂) ! Way to pick all the door prizes!!
Haha sammmmme
Same here! Wish I was going xoxo
😍 This gal just keeps getting prettier and prettier. What an angelic face. You are my favorite ASMR artist, so talented and so lovely.

That's a good memory, it got me to chuckle thank you for sharing
What a generous woman you are, God bless you Mary.
Love watching these show and tell videos, your excitement is so infectious - I get so drawn in! ♥️
"I'm not a very loud person"
I can see why she's so good at ASMR! 😄
That's one big reunion!!!! I can't name even 30 people I'm related to haha, so lovely that you all keep in touch like this!
These reunions seems so fun! I miss having family reunions! Have a good Mother's Day this weekend!
I was waiting for this, hoping for it after the shop with me for these items!
Hope you like it!
The first video I watched of yours was the family reunion haul video from last year. I loved it and have watched ever since then. Also, I love the rug!!
Mary you're such a generous person. Such thoughtful door prizes!
You seem to be glowing the past few videos, sure hope you feel as good as you look ❤
I feel great! Thank you!
You are some kinda precious, Miss Mary. Thank you for being you
Your voice is so soothing and makes me feel so calm. Ive found that youre the only ASMRtist who can calm me from a panic attack 💜 thank you so much for helping me and so many others. Youre amazing 💜💜💜
Been stuck at home for a few days with a nasty cold, and your videos have been such a blessing! Thank you for sharing

I am so excited! I was waiting patiently for this! Thank you, Mary! 😘
How many gifts do you have to buy each year? Great job on choosing diverse, useful, and exciting items!
I don't have to buy any. I do it voluntarily. Every year, I buy as many as I feel like buying. (I never get enough in donations to cover it, so I just buy it out of pocket. It's fun, so I keep doing it.)
You're such a generous soul Mary 💛
A Hula hoop would be fun to have on the table- both adults & kids would have a hoot trying to outdo each other! 😂🤣🏆
I love this video. Found myself longing for a bigger family- or just one that got together for something other than funerals. Hope your reunion is a great time!
Love this video!! I adore your hair in this video it looks so lovely 🥰
hey mary the best thing for fitting everything in the car is putting the little stuff into the big coolers 💓
Those big coolers will be full of ice and drinks.
SouthernASMR Sounds ohhh i totally didn’t even think about that !
Congrats on 400k girl! You deserve it❤️
I guess I never thought about the saying “door prize” makes sense now. Thank you for the video!
You better get Christmas cards from everybody that attends your reunion!
So got any room in the family for one more? I've got my eye on a thing or two
I look forward to this video every year.
Love your whisper as always!!
Thank you so much for the explanation 😊 looove your video, as always 😊
😘
It's been awhile since I watched you, you are still incredible!
That’s awesome you have reunions. My family doesn’t even have holidays even with immediate family because everyone is divorced, no one likes the 2nd spouse, and no one can get along. So you having reunions is awesome!
I love this idea Mary, I might have to do door prizes at our family reunion this year too!
I really enjoyed this Mary, thank you! 💕

Your paring down my coat collection is a favourite. You've mentioned on Everyday Mary about dropping things off to Goodwill, any chance you could do a similar video next time you are having a clear out?
I get rid of just a constant dribble of stuff all the time. It's not often I do a huge clean-out because a trickle of stuff is constantly going out.
I want to come to your family reunion! How fun!
Thank you Mary !❤
You should vlog your family reunion Mary!
That strays into the realm of "Hey, we're regular people who have no interest in being on RUclips" territory... 😕
@@SouthernASMRSounds that’s a bummer because it would be super interesting
Is it already reunion time again? Time flies!
A lot of fun & useful things👍

Do your kids and family know how much you've helped other people?
I've never heard of a raffle where you don't pay for the tickets.
Love the whisper videos 🌼🌼🌼🌼
your hair looks so pretty today!! :)
Just in time for sleeeeeping ZZZZ !! Thank u
That lil shopping cart is everything!!!!!🍏🍎🍋🍊🍉🍇🍓🍌
i always wanted one of those shopping carts as a kid!! even at 21 years old i’m a little jealous😅😂
Your hair looks beautiful Mary! ❤️
How about a little basket filled with some of your favorite dollar store polishes and some hair ties, or something for the ladies?
I've done that in the past, and it's not very popular.
Shoot, "the ladies" are the first ones up there grabbing the coolers and camping chairs!
My family reunion is coming up Memorial Weekend. And there will be close to 200-250 people there! Some will be old family friends. But most will be blood related family. If we get a head count I will come back and mention how many were actually there.
Forgot to mention , I think this will be our 47th reunion.
Perfect timing, almost 2am in the UK and insomnia is trying to kick my butt... I have a Mary vid as my weapon of defense 😀 Time for sleepy ZzZZs...
If I had that roll of tickets I'd never pay to get in the movies again! And I always fall asleep there anyway😴...
Amazing prizes Mary! I’d love to borrow this idea for our family reunion! Do you have to purchase these items yourself or do you collect money from family members for the event to cover costs?
I believe she’s mentioned in previous years videos that she collects money from family members.
Yesterday on her vlog channel or maybe the walmart video yesterday she said that people can/do donate but she ends up paying for alot of it herself 😊
@@sarrahlynn thanks for clarifying. That’s got to be expensive.
I have 2 of the floating phone protectors & I’ll tell you they work!
Am I the only one that goes straight for the description box to check out the nail polish color Mary has on?
You can stuff the coolers with prizes to make space in your car 😉
Could you please make a video about the reunion and like what you do? I’m so interested! I get it if it’s too invasive though!!
That shopping cart is so cool, I want that for my students :) (or myself lol)
If short on space putting everything in the car, just put the smaller things into the coolers or bigger items...wish we did door prizes at our reunion lol love u and your videos

Awww man. I wanted one of those rugs soooo bad but my Aldi was sold out. Lucky chic!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
My grandson has that shopping cart he loves it! Lol

Most of my family have a reunion at the cemetery every year😬
Interesting Thank you Mary!😘❤
I need to marry into your family so I can come to this event! It sounds like a total blast!! You are amazing!
You should do a video of the set up x
I was just thinking the other day do people still do these. I never been to one
Mary will we get an update story, I'd love to hear about it 💜
Ok I don’t know if you mentioned this over the years or if you would mind answering this question if you read this. Do you buy all prizes out of your pocket or how does it work. And is is potluck for food and drink?
I pay for the prizes out of pocket, though some family members donate to the reunion cause. Not many, but a few. Everybody brings food and drinks.
My family gather together every Christmas Eve and everyone spends about £10-20 on random door prizes and we wrap them up and go around the group picking tickets from youngest to eldest until they run out. It's so fun and you never know what you're going to end up with 😊
What happens to the left over items that aren’t picked?
I hardly ever have anything left over, but if I do, I take it to Goodwill or some other charity shop.
Would you do a whispered reading of your book?
It's 700+ pages, so probably not. Sorry. Maybe I could do a section or two.
I'm very new to this reunion thing, i've never heard of family reunion or door prize.
Does everyone being this much stuff or it's just you? Do you all contribute money or it's just from your side?
Can you please make a separate video explaining what exactly it is and how does it work or function?
great!
I thought she wasn’t going to be uploading anymore? I’m glad she still is but didn’t she say she was leaving?
Pretty sure that was an April Fools prank lol
@@peachykeena oh okay 💀😭 she made it seem so real! I was so sad
Video so good ms marryy💕💕💕👀👀👀
❤
You look sooo prettyyy
Aw, thank you!
Kites and electrical wires..can be bad.
💜💜
How is it possible to have 85-135 people in your family?
It's possible! In my family.... my Great Grandfather that was born in 1900 and had I think 12 children. There is over 300 living descendants , probably getting close to 400 now.

No, I don't have THAT much stuff. It's all good.
Ya but they rent pickups now
Not that it matters 😶
You are very beautiful lady.
you need a roof rack Mary.
Mary send me those food containers😆😅😄😂😗❤
First?
