Pokémon Surging Sparks Release Day...On A BUDGET?!

[@tina_marie12]

Marieeeeee your hair and makeup are so beautiful!! The rainbow eyes are so cool!!!!

[@basically_marie]

Thank you so much!!

[@irwinkd]

WHAT DO I DO? You and Nate dropped videos at the same time?! I love the budget video because my son wants to start opening with me. He pulled us the SIR Terapagos! I was so happy and he was so proud - I took pictures.

[@Casey_Becker]

Marie: "Keep in mind that not every pack will have a hit in it... unless you're me." 😂

[@courtneygardiner3461]

Every year at Christmas I make my sisters triple layer mints, dark chocolate on the bottom next is white chocolate with peppermint extract and the top layer is milk chocolate. Freeze between each layer, I put them in the mini cupcake wrapper

[@basically_marie]

that sounds delish!!!

[@SRMasterGo]

MARIE! Yourself and Nate have been on my screens for the better part of 3 weeks now. Ive been binging so much and I have to say that you are both my favorite Poketubers! The positive and REAL aspects of your channels are what I even strive for. I used to have a channel many moons back with my wife opening up cards and doing master sets...watching you and Nate Im currently getting that itch again.. but its because of you guys and the positive reinforcement that even makes these dreams possible. I just had to get that out there as Im here once again watching! First time commentor and now off to more of your videos! Thank you for being you!

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

You know you are a real pokemon collector when you go through all the packs and are picky ! :) Love it !

[@jordannorris4029]

Good luck on your pulls Marie with your luck you will probably get the pikachu 😊👍 booster bundles were good to me but nothing 2 special

[@PokeQuest7]

Hey Marie, I love seeing your videos on here and I'm a fan of both you and Nates content you share with us :) Its always positive and fun! My favourite pull from your set is Kate's pack that had the Alolan Dugtrio in it. They look like an 80's Rock band haha

[@basically_marie]

Hahaha!!! You’re so right!!

[@frugalautie]

No food traditions but every Christmas we listen to “the cinnamon bear” an old timey radio show my parents grew up listening to with my grandparents. Now that my grandparents are gone it’s a way we all stay connected & remember them ❤ love that you had Nate & your buddies pick your packs. I think packs others pick are always extra lucky 🥰

[@basically_marie]

Aww, I love your tradition that is so sweet!!!

[@LuciaFer913]

I love it. Gotta do that budget planning. Love it, Marie.

[@KarlKernebeck]

Such a fun video. Nate with the most pulls...impressive🎉 lovin your hair coloring💜

[@basically_marie]

Thanks so much!!

[@gracielarios4574]

I’ve recently started collecting and have enjoyed watching your videos❤ some years ago I was tasked with taking over making homemade dinner rolls for the holidays, takes 4hrs but I love it😊

[@basically_marie]

oooooo, I bet those end up being delicious!

[@kyleblackwell9958]

I’m hyped Marie that Mark is in your video :) Please show Mark more in your videos if you can

[@Mystical-ci3rb]

Love watching your videos Marie. Love watching them in my downtime at night. ❤️

[@junzaragoza608]

I just bought my first ever booster pack for Surging Sparks earlier and got my very first SIR pull ever (only started this September) and it's the Archaludon! I pulled it inside a packed restaurant so I was screaming inside lol.

[@basically_marie]

That is awesome!

[@dulceplans6373]

Oh my goodness the vulpix and eevee in this set is so cute!!! Do you have a eevee binder? And if so can you share it?

[@yuliafulbright1767]

That Eevee that you put in eeveelotions side of the map is my favorite artist of pokemon cards

[@ringergaming7]

Absolutely love it!!! I’ve never had eggnog but I’d love to try your recipe! Maybe you could do an eggnog video come holidays. As for me I make peanut butter pie with meringue topping every Thanksgiving because it’s my favorite dessert!

[@basically_marie]

That sounds delicious!!!!

[@hiddentruth1982]

It would look cool if you filled in the squares on the back wall with shiny energies of different colors. Just have that little splash of colors here and there.

[@brookelackey6231]

Love the surging sparks tie in eyeshadow. ❤

[@mattao18]

First rule of budget : Shop online. (Ideally pre-order.) Love the channel, hope the retail shopping is a tax write-off for content, but I gotta imagine you spend thousands more yearly buying at stores. Walmart being over retail is especially egregious.

[@iceman3317]

I agree that the 3 packs are usually the best in my opinion. Recently just opened packs and two sets were 3 packs. And each 3 pack had 2 pulls. But I've also had times were it was a total bust. XY and SwSh were the worst. I haven't bought a single pack since Dollar Tree packs which 75% of the time I got a hit from Dollar Tree packs.

[@TheFairestFangirl]

Yayyy!!!! Y’all got some great pulls! I personally am not an eggnog person but I love apple cider. 🥰

[@basically_marie]

Apple cider is good, but I especially like a good spiced apple cider (hold the rum!)

[@veritas3660]

This was a great idea for a video! I really enjoyed and appreciate what you do and how you speak about there is no wrong way but rather it is about having fun. We don't really do eggnog in Wales but I am interested in what it is and how to make it, maybe a video would be fun. I make Welsh cakes mostly around st David's day, I do a mix of fruit, chocolate chip, lemon, coconut and jam splits. Not all together but rather different batches. Have a wonderful magical day ❤❤❤

[@AliceHobbes]

The thing i bake each year on the day before Thanksgiving is homemade Apple pies and Cherry Pie. Apple for each siblings and mom. While the cherry pie goes to my oldest sister family since they really love it plus an apple. Though I am noticing my nephew love my cookies so I might make those for this birthday since he doesn't like cake or other bake goods.

[@wolfmarian]

Neat tips! unfortunately here boosters are near 6 dollars each, and only 5 boosters costs already a lot (and shops here never do sales with pokemon cards.

[@teresalittle8845]

Ok....found you recently via Nates stuff. Watching you go thru the cards I ket getting distracted by your beautiful nails and rings. Lol I don't do my nails soooo...however...where do you get your rings from? 😁 Closeup of your rings?? Lol ❤

[@basically_marie]

Hahaha! I have way too many rings. The moon and star ring I got at a garage sale, wedding and promise rings I got from Nate, don’t remember where I got the thumb ring 😅😂😂

[@teresalittle8845]

@basically_marie gotcha, keep up the awesomeness!!! 😘✌️

[@jessicawinter2024]

I ❤ eggnog . I've never had it homemade . But eggnog is my holiday season must have .

[@basically_marie]

mine too!!! its also the only time of year I allow myself to buy or make it!

[@cristinah8050]

My family and I are Puerto Rican for the holidays we make a drink called Coquito. It has condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Bacardi Superior.

[@chessfan10]

Pumpkin spice lattes and peppermint mocha drinks are a good holiday drink imo.

[@basically_marie]

Oooo yes! Totally agree!!

[@rachellew5250]

I love eggnog! Iv had 3 half gallons to myself ever since I've seen it in the store

[@brucebruce6338]

Great opening my friend. Love the hair 😊. Did you put the charizard on the roof yet? Lol. Happy Friday and hope you have a great weekend 😊

[@basically_marie]

Hahaha! Not yet but I might have to!

[@mazie.5149]

I enjoy your videos . I love to collect the psychic type pokemon cards. But I do collect other types just not as much right now.

[@rickluque6429]

I like seeing you guys go out in a group…You 4 make a good team 👍👍

[@hendrikastoelwinder9339]

I pre order al the blisterpacks. Two 3 packs. Four 1 packs. And 2 singels just for fun. My son and i pull 4 ex cards and that was it. Not the best pull rate for us.

[@Mel70784]

Awesome pulls as usual thanks for sharing

[@walterross5028]

Nice Marie let’s go good luck on some magic hits 🔥🔥🤞🤞

[@rachellew5250]

I bought both those eeveelution backpack and wallet to match a couple wks ago😊

[@angelfan2009]

i'm gonna have to go to my local gamestop and pick up a few packs of surging sparks and paradox rift and then go to barnes and nobles and pick up a 3 pack blister of twilight masquerade

[@kyleblackwell9958]

What’s your favorite card from Surging sparks Marie?

[@sabrinabirdsong5833]

Marie, I found a new make it mini holiday at walmart.

[@PeachyAenne]

every year I make mashed potatoes! And it's the perfect time for it.

[@basically_marie]

yummmm!

[@sparkling_vaporeon9522]

I pulled a black kyrem ex and a durant illustration rare out of my first 3 pack of surging sparks.

[@basically_marie]

That’s amazing!!! That Durant is definitely one (or six) I would like to get!

[@Ilovethezards]

Okay I’m embarrassed now 😂 I guess some times I need to budget at target ur right ☠️

[@thelegendarybigfoot6760]

You're not Guaranteed anything in Pokémon Packs 😂 even Pokémon Has said like a broken record cards vary by pack bahahaha! Ones that are normally guaranteed something awesome are mostly the shinny sets or some of the Japanese sets but doing your research on the set normally informs you on it. Glad you gave us Players some props! Finally some one does it. Love your videos same with Nates. Love you guys. Cheers.

[@samersalama6275]

It’s not just you but this set is tough. It’s worth opening though.

[@ChrisPorter-z1m]

Epic video Marie worldwide

[@dmphax]

3 packs ftw!!! Eggnog no, apple cider yes!!

[@basically_marie]

Spiced apple cider?

[@dmphax]

@basically_marie oh yeah!!!

[@BrianaRoller]

I make cheddar garlic biscuits multiple times a month if not every week or day when I can

[@basically_marie]

that sounds so good!

[@JakePresnallPercussion]

One week in and I pulled the Gold Pikachu on Sunday.

[@xaviercurtis4838]

I thought it released last Sunday

[@Rainman_Rips]

Coquito. Aka Puerto Rican egg nog. It does have rum so if you don’t drink alcohol then not for you lol but it you do, absolutely delicious and I’m not a fan of egg nog

[@WinterMorningstar]

Marie your makeup is beautiful!! 😍

[@basically_marie]

Thank you so much!!

[@Legokate]

I think eveee the dog should be given a camera for Christmas so we fans can see her during yours and Nate’s videos I’d love to see a video of you both walking eveee And eveee play time what’s eveee favourite Christmas toys does she get lots of Christmas gifts from your tournament friends that u play with at Pokémon Game shop . I was wondering if you and Nate and your friends going to have a Pokémon Christmas party and whose place would it be at. Love to see you Marie and Nate buy Christmas gifts for your tournament friends and they not allowed to see the video of what you brought em as I’d love to see the expression on there faces on what they got . Christmas is the best Pokémon time of the year that’s what I say . From Kate last

[@capeRCouple]

I hate surging sparks,i got 6 of those 3 packs and all i got was a $1.81 ex card

[@junzaragoza608]

Side note: I really love your make up and look in each video but your bare face is so pretty as well!

[@Karin5461]

Still no packs of Surging Spark

[@bkkriz]

I don’t have an immersive card either 😅

[@cathysams7932]

Great video today!!!!😊

[@basically_marie]

Thank you!!

[@pokemontrainermichael5551]

[@rickluque6429]

Under 1000 views love your videos

[@xaviercurtis4838]

Instead of buying multiple packs I’m be only allowed to buy 1 item so I’m buying the most expensive product 💀 Also btw I didn’t finish watching the vid

[@ohseeus5406]

That 30 card plus trick or trade pack for 10.99... that's a scam. Collecting people's unwanted cards

[@kyleblackwell9958]

I’m little late to the party Marie but I’m here

[@basically_marie]

aww, you're never late! Always when you mean to be here!

[@kyleblackwell9958]
