I LOVE everything you do. When I get a notification about a video of yours, I know it's gonna be AWESOME! I woukd like to caution you about putting food in the clear ornaments. They aren't made for food and therefore they aren't food safe. Who knows what kind of plastic they're made from? And it's too bad because I've always thought it was such a cute idea.

[@staceysaunders6857]

Ty! Which sized metal legs did u use for the wooden bench ? I saw on the Amazon link that they carry different sizes

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

@@staceysaunders6857 mine are the 16” legs :)

[@joferrell83]

Handmade gifts are just amazing. The thing is I make gifts for everyone but no one ever makes me any gifts.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I can SO relate to that Jo! I'd make you one :)

[@joferrell83]

@@Whiskeyandwhit I would make you one too.

[@patriciastrang8747]

I do too!! You give the best gifts because you created them with love 💖 if I was your friend you would be getting one from me 🥰

[@sandrabuckley3206]

Hi Whitney what amazing gift ideas 👍 TFS have a beautiful blessed Thursday 🐝 safe and God Bless you and your family.

[@denisepope8599]

The candy looks so tasty. When I was growing up. We always made all kinds of candies and cakes and pies and treats. I don’t cook or bake much anymore. After loosing my in-laws and my husband, all the joy of cooking and baking left me. My MIL and I we always cook together and shared with the elderly in the community. So many have passed away. I am alone in this world it seems. My son does what he wants. My family lives off.

[@grammysagmoe9659]

They are so tasty!

[@RosalindShelton]

Whitney, I really love doing all of these last minute gift ideas! I really loved the sugar scrub. I haven’t made any of these in years! I forget how wonderful it makes the skin feel. My boys want to make all the pretzel treats. My husband John and all my boys love the sweet and salty treats! My family love to give family pictures as gifts. We took a family photos at Mother’s Day so I would love to do copies for framing. I truly loved the Muskie picture frame! My husband is from Illinois but was born in Michigan. His biggest wish is to catch a Muskie! He is an avid fisherman as we all are and catching a Muskie is his biggest dream. He came out to Arizona when he was only 8 yrs old. Thank you for sharing how you created the glass for the pictures. I’ve got a lot of photos of he and the boys catching Bass and trout. So cool. Have a great week!

[@chrissybetlem9872]

I just sent my brother the printer as an “idea” for his big sissy for Christmas!!! Thank you for reminding me of some of these, I’ve seen all of them but forgot!!! I hope you’re done now and can just ENJOY!!!! Btw…..I’m pretty good friends w Kelly and your Christmas box brought tears to my eyes…..SOO generous and SOO thoughtful!!! You 2 are my favs & feel like my far away besties!!!! Merry Christmas sweetie and if you email or talk to Kelly, please ask her for my cell…..would love to chat after the crazy season ❤🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yay that's awesome! I love it. And thanks so much! one more Christmas video coming next week and then I can relax :) Just wanted to send her some Christmas joy in her box. Have a great holiday!

[@anihristova7789]

[@teresadreamer8554]

These are awesome! Thank u so much! I plan on making the pretzels as my gift. Also do you know any quick breads to make as gifts? The person I picked in a drawing has no hobbies so I figured food would be good. Thank u so much! I love your crafts to👍🙂🤍🙂❄️🌲☃️

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Thank you Teresa! I actually have never made traditional bread, but I feel like banana bread is usually a safe bet! I usually do this recipe from Pinterest: pin.it/2mXqs8y

[@teresadreamer8554]

Thank you so much🤍 you have been such a wonderful help 🌲🤍🙂

[@karenhaskins590]

Wow, such great ideas, Whitney! I do have a quick question, though. How far in advance of gifting can I make those Pretzel Peanut Butter Bites and them still be good? Would the pretzels get "stale" made in advance or will they do that anyway when they are made? Thank you so much!

[@treasureyourtime]

Use wax paper to cover the candle. Parchment paper doesn’t have wax.

[@honnyflower6226]

Wow I love that the printer is so smal I need this instead of old printer . Everything looks so amazing and I love ❤️ love to get one printer like this oh my gush. Did you link it I hope my husband will let me use some of our savings so I can make all this beautiful design. 😍 you also used the cricket to print out design . I wish I had one to . I do all my spices and make signs for all my stuff for crafting

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yes, I'm loving it so far! You can check it out here: canon.us/whitney

[@kathyjohnson9195]

Do you go through many ink cartridges , or to early to tell. 😊

[@deaneclark6469]

Awesome gift ideas Whitney...I especially love the fish cut out in thr frame for Alex! We can create any kind of shape, such a fantastic photo gift!

The gift you made your husband got my wheels turning!! Love every diy you do!!

[@debbiesmalley5409]

I liked the table, but I have absolutely no wall or floor real estate

[@melissastevenson1428]

I made up the pretzel peanut butter mixture and mine is very gritty because of the brown sugar. Any ideas how I can remedy this?

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Hey Melissa! Hmmm I've never had that happen to me before - did you use light brown sugar? You can also omit the brown sugar and I think they'd still taste good just a tad less sweet. I hope that helps!

[@denisepope8599]

Money is extremely short. I found some beautiful candles on sale At Michael’s before Thanksgiving. Apple Cinnamon scent. Every family will get one. Only cost $ 40.00. Big candle was $ 3.00 each.

[@christineeschelbach166]

Love all your gift ideas. Gives me some things to think about for Christmas. Tfs your talent and creativity. 😢 Always enjoy watching you create DIY’S. God Bless.

[@kathymiller2829]

I want to get the photo printer. I definitely will make the last project. But, I like ALL of them! ❤

[@DizzymonkeyYT]

The very first one with coconut oil and brown sugar & vanilla- is it just to smell good ? I thought I heard you say it makes your skin soft? Help ? Lol you are the best!! 😂

Hello. I love all your videos and I am a subscriber 🙌🙌 I just recently watched a video where you collaborate with 2 other girls that are crafters as well and I cannot find the video I watched last night where you showed who they were? Please help

[@kellyvanderheyden9037]

Hi Whitney can you tell me if the canon selfie printer takes regular 4x6 photo paper

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Hi Kelly! It takes Canon paper for the Dye-Sub process. Here's more info on the paper/ink it uses: support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART180921

[@mariamercado3946]

These are all amazing gift ideas. I think my favorite are the etched beer glasses. Also the pretzel rolo candies were a big hit last year. Making them again this year. I might try the peanut butter ones this year.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yay! Thats awesome!

[@angelaarey933]

Always great ideas. What brand were the mugs you used with Citrus Strip?

Fantastic gift ideas. I would love to receive any of these but the last name, initials, and pictures on them are all wrong. Lol.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

You don't want a jug that says "Johnson Family" lol

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@Whiskeyandwhit nah, maybe if it said Trumble family.

[@denisefelton8427]

Merry Christmas Hun! As always you do not disappoint! But also as usual I can't pick a favorite. LOL!

Enjoy these innocent years of Santa with him. Love sent! 🎄🎅

[@pamlitz9605]

Thanks for all the ideas. I don’t comment often but watch you all the time and think you are the most creative person on KZbin and have such a lovely personality. I like hearing about your sweet young family. May God bless all of you this Christmas.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Aww Pam, thank you! 🥰 what a sweet comment! I appreciate you watching and supporting my channel :)

[@joannc8214]

I’ve been wanting to try etching but then I read the warning (“may cause DEATH”) on the front of the Armor Etch. I will not be etching, after all.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

It’s like any tool that you need to use correctly for safety :)

[@donnacaldwell1904]

Another Awesome video! Thank you!!! I love the bench and have been looking for something to fit my narrow front porch. Just to add some decor.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lesleyforbes7922]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe for the Pretzel Peanut Butter Bites. They are absolutely delicious and my family loves them. Hopefully I’ll have some left to give as gifts as that was my intended purpose. Even though I made about 100 of them I can see that that is not enough. So good! Thanks again for the recipe and all the other gift ideas. Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season ❤️

[@beckydepriest9407]

Was that a sugar scrub? You didn't say what it was.

[@KellyRVaden]

Amazing ideas! "This is not the time to be MacGyver." 🤣🤣🤣

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

😂😂

[@susancollins4864]

Whitney, does this photo printer require any ink? Website wasn’t clear… can you choose glossy, semi gloss or satin finishes?

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Hi Susan, Yes it uses special ink that comes in the paper pack you get from Canon.

[@universalash333]

Put a disclaimer on the coconut oil scrub: my father in law fell in the shower after using my homemade scrub I gifted them one year for Xmas 😢😂

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Oh no!! 😢 poor guy! Sorry to hear that!

[@marilynrenner7902]

Definitely have to try the pretzel sandwiches. My favorite is peanut butter and chocolate!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

they are a crowd pleaser!

[@suelaitinen5540]

Whit, I was wondering on your circuit. What type of vinyl did you use for the mug stencil?

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Hey Sue! Just a scrap piece of permanent adhesive vinyl :)

[@aliciawilliams2996]

I loved so many of these! Such great ideas. And how quick and easy to flip holiday or everyday candles!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Totally!
