This is such an important video because I see so many comments online that people can’t afford anything for their kids this year 😢 I understand that gifts aren’t the reason for Christmas and all that but if you’re someone who really does want to give them, there are so many inventive ways to have presents under the tree by Christmas even if you’re struggling. ❤

There are so many fun and unique ways to gift with little to no money. It’s the thought behind the items as well that makes them beautiful. 🥰

You have such a sweet presence! Thank you for sharing this. I love giving and receiving thrifted treasures!

You are so kind, thank you. ❤ It is so much fun! Last year for Christmas my family did a $50 thrifted challenge where we all drew a name and everything we bought for that family had to be thrifted. Such a fun and unique way to gift! ❤

We thrift gifts as well. Our kids have never once commented on it, and the best hidden pro is the fact that you don’t have to spend hours opening things from packages Christmas morning!

Yes!! That is a huge bonus! Haha! ❤

I love your thrift ed items. You got some really cool stuff and its meaningful. You have put a lot of love and thought into your children's gifts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to spend a bunch of money on cheaply made toys that they will lose interest in eventually.

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

You found some amazing deals! I love the real Coleman lantern and the carousel toy. So this year I tried to thrift for the items my son wanted, but I actually did better at the Black Friday sales -- that never happens but this year for what I needed was exceptional! I am putting away some games and toys I found for other occasions like Easter baskets and birthday etc. God really blessed us shopping this year!

I love thrifted gifts both to give to my family (the kids especially don’t care one bit) and also to receive!

Love how you thrift. I love thrifting too. Never thought of trying Mercari and thread up. Thanks for sharing! And looks like you have great local secondhand shops.

Wonderful to know, thank you! ❤️

To my mind Honey Bee animals are much cuter than the Calico critters (called Sylvanian families here in Europe)! I have been trying to look for those, but can't find them where I live. 😢

I think so too! 🥰

I've heard Amazon returns end up on landfills. It's not worth it for Amazon to resell. Don't order more than you need or you are not dure of. 😒
