Thank you for the great Spotify playlist love. Eloise is a new fav😍

My 5.5 year old asked for some lego duplo for Christmas. Regular legos are still too hard for her to build with easily.

I really loved your video and am so excited to try your suggestions. Also you look so pretty! Happy New Year!

You always have the cutest clothes. I just LOVE that sweater.

You are beautiful and love that sweater on you!

Loved this, thank you❤🎉 Happy New Year 🎉

Thank you for all the recommendations 😍 do you use any fragrance daily? I’ve been on the look for a natural feagrance after my last favorite became unavailable but no luck yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

This was such a cosy watch 🥰☕️ B x

ok love these seasonal favourites, every recommendation is right up my street ❤

halara. highly recommend

Hi Raya, loved the video! ❤ I recognize what you said about living simple lives. I feel like everyone is always trying to achieve more, and I just want to live in gratitude with my son, husband and baby-on-the-way, enjoying the simple things.. knitting, sewing, creating, cooking. I feel like sometimes people find that ‘old fashion’ and think young woman should be more of a feminist.. I try to surround myself with like-minded people, but there are not a lot around… So I love watching your videos and find so much similarities ♥️ thank you for sharing! Lots of love, from the Netherlands! Ps. Do you know the music artist Fia? Think you would love her ✨🎶

Ive been looking for an oil and SPF because my skin has been so dry in the winter, so thank you for the recommendations! Would love a makeup video. I also don’t wear much makeup, but love lightweight lip and cheek color/gloss.

Yesss this is us is the best series I've ever watched! ❤

So good to see your lovely face! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy world to share your tips with us. You are such a gentle, deep and welcoming soul and I truly love your videos. Happy New Year!

omg i feel so proud u mentioned Lebanon :) i just followed issa's page and im going to order the oil for sure! 🇱🇧 🇱🇧 🇱🇧

Hellow raya 🎉

I love your outfits. Looking beautiful lady.

Oh my gosh! welcome back!

You are so beautiful, and I envy your gorgeous hair. Also love that beautiful sweater. You always look amazing and unique. I kind of have my own style too and enjoy when people comment on an outfit.

Girl your skin looks incredible! I have super dry fussy skin too, thanks for your product recommendations!

❤

Loved this is us. Will check out the podcast - where can I rewatch this is us?

A therapy swing that hangs from the ceiling it has entertained my son for 4 years and I'm absolutely sure it's going to for at least 4 more it was worth clearing out the space for it best investment I've ever made as a mom of three

You are beautiful inside and out. You look like a queen with or without makeup up 😊

I don’t have kids yet but I love this video and how you encourage buying second hand.

Fall Favorites would be great!

You are the best! Iv been watching for years and I can feel that you having a hard time. I love you like crazy and am a new mom myself. My son is 8 months and learning along with you has been so helpful to me you have no idea!! So happy for this video and everything you do for Neo and us !

I love books for my toddler too. Have your tried your local library

Oooh a video about how to entertain a toddler on a plane would be amazing

For my soon to be 3 year old son, his main Christmas present from me is the magnet tiles too. For my 5 month daughter are new toys for her. We gotten him a balance bike and he loves riding it.

Your comment at the end is exactly what I needed to hear - thank you x

Balance stepping stones is another one of our favourites, kids all ages love them

My 7 yo son loves to play with Magna tiles and even Duplo which is super easy to build and take down. He also plays with the wooden tracks, so for sure all those will be played with by Neo and his siblings for years to come.

We've got the Timio player for oir girl and we looove it. Very usefull video Raya ❤

Melissa and Doug toys are the best!!!

My daughter will be 4 months old with Christmas, so there is no need to buy a lot I feel like. She'll get the Yoto player (for now just to listen to and when she's older she can put cards in herself) and the Ikea gym mat. Both will be toys she can love for many years to come! 😊

My daughter is really into art now so it’s all paint, pastels, crayons, etc. This results in a lot of artwork, so I created a book of her artwork using a company called Artkive. I started when she was 3 and will probably do another one soon.

Great ideas! Thank you for sharing ❤ xxxx

Loved this Raya, it's made me feel all Christmassy ! What a lucky little boy Neo is to have such wonderful parents. Glad you're feeling better, you sounded really poorly in your Christmas vlog. Merry Christmas to you all & safe travels in the New Year, looking forward to some sunshine in beautiful Costa Rica.🎄❤

So this is only US but a page I absolutely love for deals is never pay retail with Lisa 2.0 it’s absolutely a win! I have bought almost every gift off of her page! She does like links with deals to like Amazon and honestly everything

Love this

Loving the selection

11:43 I'm wondering whether it would be a good idea to have the flight attendant fill the 'brush ' just in case the security is worried about clear liquid. I have no doubt that you fly more often than I do, but it would be a shame to delay your progress for a little water!

These are all great! Mine are a bit older (12, 5) and I can attest that everything you have on your list has been played with for years by both of my kiddos. We actually just switched from Duplo to regular Lego bricks (sad day) so over a decade of almost every day play. One thing I’d add that both my kids have loved is a doll house/small dolls or characters. A 12:2 scale dollhouse was the big gift when our daughter was 2, she’s 12 now and I still see her ‘play’ with it weekly. Our son is a bit rougher with his toys and has the lovevery version with the camper van. We like the mini American girl sized dolls because they were always easiest to dress. My son uses action figures for toddlers.

Yay another episode from our beautiful Raya! I absolutely think your videos are adorable and so informative. Thank you for being such a lovely woman a beautiful mother and a very kind and loving wife. I love everything about you are so sweet and beautiful. God bless you have a very merry Christmas to you and your family.❤❤❤😊

My 20 month old has taken a small but sweet interest in Otters recently. So I "symbolically adopted" a sea otter for her through WWF. You get a personalized adoption certificate and a sweet stuffed animal. They have all different types of animals, something for every kid. I thought it was a cute idea.

Loved the video! You are sharing the christmas spirit with us too on this channel and Raya&Louis 🥰✨ Since vlogmas last year (when I discovered your channel) I’m always so eagerly looking forward to your upcoming videos! They are so relatable and like another mom mentioned in the comments you make us feel seen 🫶 A successfully toy in our household is: Giant Road from Orchard Toys. It’s affordable to buy brand-new and it’s also been sold on second hand websites for a good deal.

Lovely gifts for Neo. Hope you are all feeling better. I know when my boys were little I always brought wooden toys they last so well and great to give for future children. Lovely gift ideas. Sending lots of love to you all xxx

We had Duplo and Lego for our four children, and many wooden toys and special books. I saved them and they have now been shared between our four grandchildre! The Duplo and Lego is truly vintage, over forty years old!
