You seemed ashamed of buying from a charity shops. Their is no shame and when you go out you go to a pub you drink from a glass others have drank from

Hi Laura, morning! I love how creative you’ve been , gives that extra personal, touch 😍 It all doesn’t need to be expensive either , just a little something that makes it look a bit more special! I’ve never EVER used shredded tissue paper just always scrunched up the flat sheets & wrapped a gift or placed scrunched in a box etc but I love ❤️ the base layer of shredded you’ve done and then bringing it together at the top! The crackers are fab too! Happy weekend 😊 x

Awww they're so cute. Especially the crackers. When you pulled out that shredded paper I said out loud " the works £3" before you said it. I was in there yesterday looking for that christmas cellophane you had but they had none so I had to use the clear one I already have. It was to make those chocolate lint ball wreath gifts everyone is making on tiktok and youtube . I use 12 hole cup cake boxes the ones with windows with little gifts for my grown up nieces and sister in law. I put a mini bottle of wine, fluffy socks, bath bomb, candle, hot chocolate sachets face masks a gift card usually for Costa or Starbucks. Some lint chocs ball and choc coins and a candy cane. I get their name on a vinyl sticker things off amazon and put it on the window bit. I'm all done now. Just need to get the family who live with me their chocolate gifts (selection boxes, chocolate oranges and such) because the kids will sniff them out and eat them if I buy to early. I've even bought all my grandsons birthday presents and clothes for his 2nd birthday on the 30th of December x

Just thought a gift to donate could be a voucher for going to the cinema? 😊

I love charity shops, we went today. I buy clothes for the kids from there too, can I afford to buy new!!! Yeah, but kids wears grow out of clothes so quickly that if I can buy practically new clothes for them for 1 or 2 pound then I'm going to. I wouldn't buy shoes from there tho because that kinda gives me the ick. My granddaughter likes searching for my little pony's in the big boxes of odd toys they always have for like 30p each. She loves it. I've picked a little toy up every time I've been in b&m the last couple of weeks (which has been about 6 times because I work opposite a b&m) I didn't even think to get a teanage boy. So thankyou for pointing that out. I'll go tomorrow and grab a few bits to donate x

Thank you for the great ideas 😊

Awwww this is such a lovely video. You both look like you've had a good start to December. We've just started doing Christmas things in our house too. Got my tree up tonight and put lights on ready for kiddos to decorate tomorrow. Then baking cakes and cookies tomorrow to take to santa who's going to my brothers house (my brother won't be there till after santa has gone tho 😉) We've written letters to santa and watched the grinch cartoon version on repeat cos grandkids are to little to sit through the likes of home alone yet. We've also got lots of adverts in this house too, we've got peppa pig chocolate advent a paw patrol gifts one with like bobbles and jewellery and hair clips in. We've got 2 build a bear ones (highly recommend these they are amazing well worth the money, altho we got them in the black Friday sale so much cheaper) we've got a candle one and two adult chocolate advents too. Hope your both well and looking forward to celebrating the rest of the festive period x

❄️🤶☃️❤️

We booked to stay at Corralejo Beach Hotel right on the front , 3 nights so looking forward to that , looks like lots good bars and restaurants 👌

❄️☃️🤶❤️🎁

Ooooh I've got those boots I've also got the primark ugg type ones too which I think we're about £9, I'm also a size 8 and I broke my big toe in fuerteventura going down the water slide with the baby so I'm currently living in primark comfy boots whilst it heals. I also use those lipsticks, I dab a little setting powder on afterwards and it tends to last most of the day. I can't really comment on reading labels cos my eyesight is terrible and I refuse to wear glasses so I'm always squinting to see things. Hope your all OK and enjoying the magic of the run up to Christmas x

Looks good, Laura x

Wow the difference painting the doors made. Room looks beautiful. Well done you. £45 is really good for that tree. We paid £130 for a 6ft tree on sale from John Lewis a few years ago (we had vouchers from our wedding that were running out) we could of got the snowy one for a extra £20 but we knew it would be messy so we got some really pretty ornaments instead. X

Great haul 😍 🎄 where did you buy the jumper your wearing from?

You mentioned Cayyyykes, what is that?

❤❤❤

We were in Primark the other day and daughter said she wouldn’t like those gold bags on a night out as they’d feel like you were carrying an ice cube 🤣

My roommate used to buy bags off *suluxy* . I think she ended up spending almost the price of the bag she wanted . They were real leather .

Like some of the jumpers but all but 1 looked cropped which isn't really my thing. Feel like I'm a bit old for most of the Rita ora range. Can we just talk about those pants with the elastic bit for your foot!!!!! My mum used to wear them in the early 90s and I thought they were weird then haha. Glad your feeling a little better and hope you continue to get and feel better. X

Another great vlog

Great vlog

im off here on a solo holiday in jan for the first time. video helped me a lot thank you.

I love tk max at Christmas. I've bought lots of toys and clothes for both grandkids some decorations and love the bamboo socks from there too. My daughter was obsessed with strawberry shortcake when she was tiny and she's only 24 now. She had a giant strawberry shortcake soft toy which was bigger than her. Emily's going to be very happy with all the little bits you got her. And I'll be interested to see what your doing with the calming gifts you bought. I got a 70 year old lady in my secret santa in work so I'm going to do her a Cosy nights in hamper with a blanket, hot water bottle,mug,hot chocolate and some chocolate x

😊❤❤☃️❄️

By the way everyone watching, just to note the Christmas cups that are shown in this video will be for a 1st December gift...I have always done quite a few Christmassy themed gifts for Emily on 1st December with Advents too - this year much smaller gifts but these are one of them, then she gets use out of them given Christmas themed and can then put away for next year...although think they would still be great as a winter cup design to get through Jan/Feb time too. Enjoy the video guys...just thought I would point this out as not much use out of winter/Christmas themed cup if you get it at Christmas itself. Thanks to Amy in the comments...she remembered what I was trying too in the video...I was referring to a Stanley!.x

'A Stanley' xoxo

Your tree looks lovely ❤ get well soon

😊❤❤❤

Thank you Laura for sharing all your Primark chrismassy things - especially when you feel so poorly. Hope you feel lots better soon🥰

Used to love your videos but you ramble too much these days

Table settings ideas decorations n set ups might be good idea. What a knightmare being ill around christmas especially when theres plans and events you have planned 🤧 get well soon xx

Oh bless you, you sound so poorly. Hope your feeling a bit better now. Try your best to try slow down a little. I know it's easier said than done but best to slow down and not get some things done than to burn yourself out completely and get nothing done. Love all the little bits you got. I got loads and loads of them fluffy socks in different colours some for me and the rest for present fillers to go with main presents. I think a christmas stocking shopping challenge with Emily could be fun. Set a budget choose a shop then shop for each other could make it more interesting by giving a list like. Something they'll like, something they want, something they need something in their favourite colour, something to eat, something to wear. Things like that. A gingerbread decorating challenge could be fun too see who decorates theirs the best. I'm sure whatever you've got lined up video wise will great tho they always are x

Hi Laura thank you for showing all the Christmas Primark bits. I will be popping to see if I can see some of bits you bought. I think it would be nice to see all of your trees once they are decorated and look forward to seeing what you get up to in december. Hope you feel better soon and appreciate you doing this haul when not feeling your best x

Hi Laura, hope you're starting to feel a little bit better, bless you. We plod on with all life's challenges & sometimes they catch up with us & end up making us poorly. Thank you for doing this whilst feeling like that! It's all so very much appreciated. There's definitely some great bits & pieces in Primark . Take good care of yourself x

Perhaps a trip to the GP and a course of antibiotics for your ailments? That should clear it up in time for Christmas. Put KZbin on the back burner until you're better.

Were they plenty of places outside the hotel to grab food and drink ?

Sorry to say there is a lot of wind noise from your microphone is there anything you can do, cheers keep blogging 👍👍

Favourite Christmas jumper is the white one with Christmas trees on. I have a few Christmas jumpers with bells on which have been washed normally in the machine many times and just hung up to dry without any issues to the jumper or machine. I love the dress I'm gonna go see if they have any left In our one to wear for work. X

Just to add to this video...I actually managed to delete footage of another 5 or 6 Christmas Jumpers in our Shop around Primark - so definitely check out lots of Primark stores as you are likely to see other Christmas jumpers around in addition to the ones we have shown in this video - so many to choose from. Hope you all enjoy the video and Happy Weekend.x

❤❤❤

Love all the primark bits and bobs. I went last weekend and bought all the Christmas pyjamas pretty much the amount I spent in there was ridiculous. Believe it or not last year and probably this year all my Christmas tree decorations where disney mickey and Minnie from primark and amazon cos my daughter is disney crazy and I caved haha. Can't believe you spent 4 hours in primark that's crazy x

Absolute Xmas tat

❤❤

Ikea trips are a nightmare. I feel like I lose 3-4 hours of my life everything I go. I love what I buy but it just feels like a chore. The meatballs are OK but wouldn't make a special trip just for them. I've never tried wingstop I don't think. Laura your catchphrase could be "just for you guys" and Emily's " I don't care,I've found a chair" did you buy any christmas bits in the end? X
