[@MsGoldgirl]

I have done some in the past-to be honest they're pretty tricky!

[@kristincunningham3748]

@@MsGoldgirl yes I know so hard to buy for and ones I’ve found stink. I think u r great by the way love your sense of humor and watch all you old videos w rev for college so helpful!

[@erikaoliver2591]

​@MsGoldgirl yes! They're tricky and expensive!! People like to say girls are expensive, but all that tech stuff is $$$

[@reginasemenenko148]

​@@MsGoldgirlI would love ideas for men.

[@angelaedwards135]

I have never heard of a favorite things party & am so happy you explained it & showed gift ideas! I’ll need to purchase at least half of them for myself 😂. Please do more! Loved it ❤

[@sylviashanabrough6515]

I love this type of video. Please do more. They are real time savers especially for those who only shop on line for holidays etc.

[@lorijulian8368]

Marnie, I don't know what I loved most - the awesome gift ideas, your cute hair or your super glowy make-up. You look adorable today!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Oh yes, gift ideas are always welcome. I have three daughters and two grown granddaughters so there were a couple of great ideas for them.😊❤

[@MsGoldgirl]

Wonderful!

[@Natalie_11188]

My friend got me that mug warmer two years ago. Such a good gift.

[@marniulch4905]

Just bought the laundry detergent in the 2-pack to try both their scents. Definitely gifting this and probs getting the steamer for Mom and myself. You are a gifting goddess! ❤😂

[@MsGoldgirl]

Hope you like it!

[@RobinGKT]

I always enjoy your gift giving suggestions every year. Especially when your boys were home. Thanks so much for sharing. Robin

[@tinafugate2713]

Love your videos! Would you please do a Stocking Stuffer video?

[@MsGoldgirl]

This is pretty much the stocking stuffer video.

[@sandramigacz1766]

Great ideas! I have a group of 7 amazing girlfriends and we always do theme and gift exchange parties.

[@chrelainel5833]

I love your gifting videos. Now, I want to have a favorite things party!

[@karenomalley8189]

Great gift haul! You did a great job with clever gift ideas and a affordable budget. Thank you for your help and Time devoted to helping others. Please definitely keep more suggestions coming along with holiday attire.

[@user-vf7gh7pr1s]

Great suggestions! I would just mention that people may want to discuss the Lumify eye drops with their eye doctor. Mine told me that if I use them, use them only for special occasions as they have side effects. To me, it is not worth it if it could damage the eyes. Thanks for your videos!

[@brendathompson2503]

Great gift ideas & of course for me too. Who doesn’t buy gifts & not get one for themselves🤣. Love the other uses suggestions as well. Thanks for sharing & have a great weekend Marnie😘

[@MsGoldgirl]

You are so welcome!

[@lysawright8206]

You look amazing…loved the brush cleaner gift pack. Ordering for all my gal pals for Christmas 🎄. Thanks Marnie! ❤

[@christinabrooks7580]

Great content as always! The link to the cutting board is different than shown... love the version you showed us.

[@MsGoldgirl]

The version I got was a gift so I don’t know exactly where she got it. I tried to find one very similar at the price point she would have paid.

[@miale3593]

Good gift ideas, good food, low budget no pressure and pajamas. Such a dreamy idea!

[@karenkeith6677]

You look so pretty. Your hair style is so cute.look forward to your videos every week.

[@michaelatopalov1990]

Terrific ideas for gift giving, not just for the holidays but anytime! Thanks!

[@DebDebbiesWorld]

A favorite things party! What a neat idea! Am wondering if I'd have time to get one together so close to the holidays with my travel schedule and (more importantly) other people's holiday schedules!?

[@lbarmstrong1]

For the epsom salts or liquid Dr. Teals, you might be able to pair it with a pretty chrystal carafe of some kind from either the dollar store or a TJ Max situation. I love having it by my bathtub, and use old decanters (since we've stopped drinking and decanting as we've aged, haha).

[@MsGoldgirl]

I would recommend something plastic or acrylic for in the bath.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

So many women in my family have that hanging toiletry bag. I love mine! The gift party sounds so fun!! I wish I had people that I could do that with.

[@rhillyermiles]

What a fun party idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@cerissathompson4110]

Just ordered the blankets. Black Friday price is $16.00. Got 6 for under $100. Thanks for the great rec.

[@MsGoldgirl]

Score!!!

[@charlottebragdon9475]

So fun! TY for these suggestions!

[@MsGoldgirl]

You are so welcome!

[@clairesteinriede9110]

I LOVED THIS!!! Sending to all my friends!!!❤️

[@peggyfisher9743]

I purchased the steamer a while back when I first heard you recommend it. I have since purchased it multiple times as a gift for friends. And will be buying more for Xmas gifts.

[@MsGoldgirl]

Great to hear! It's really that good!

[@tammyommodt709]

Same!

[@ChicOnTheCheap]

Love the ribbon/cutting board idea!

[@MsGoldgirl]

I could totally see you making the cutest charcuterie board with it!

[@staceyloveswill]

Your hair looks amazing!

[@MsGoldgirl]

Thank you so much!

[@luvzdogz]

I've never heard of a favorite things party and I totally want to do one! It's too late for this holiday season but I made a not to myself for next fall. A summer favorite things party might be fun too! I have my "thinking cap" on now! LOL

[@MsGoldgirl]

You can do one at any time of year-and it's certainly not too late-you can do one in December!

[@tammyommodt709]

I’m hosting the first “Favorite Things” party for my girlfriend group tonight! We’ve watched your video several times to get “directions”!

[@MsGoldgirl]

That is awesome! Have a great time!!

[@MQS11]

Loved this so much!! Fun, great looking/cozy and thoughtful gifts that bring joy to others. You can't beat that. Thanks so much Marnie

[@MsGoldgirl]

You are so welcome!

[@jchristenson]

Hooray! I wait for your gift suggestions every year! Throughout the years I have given the Electronic Candle Lighter a hostess gift and it has become legendary among my friend group! AND as I tell people here, you have made me a better gift giver! The gifts are creative and more fun than I could dream up!

[@MsGoldgirl]

I am so glad!!

[@knithappy]

Another fabulous Dr. Teal’s product is their body scrub. So inexpensive and I love it!

[@wendyoldaker5177]

I’ve been to 2 different style of favorite things parties. The first was we all brought a certain number of different wrapped “favorite things” each costing around $5.00 each. We stuck them all in the middle of the table and did it white elephant style with stealing or picking an unwrapped gift. The other was with my book club. There are only 4 of us so we each brought 3 of the same gift and gave it to each of the others and we all went home with 3 gifts. Both were so fun!

[@sgodbout2213]

I bought the brush cleaner way back when you first showed us and not only does it last a long time but it works so well. I am finally at the end of my bottle and will order again. I ordered that hanging travel bag for a friend that travels. If I can just keep shopping in November so I can relax in December it will be a miracle! LOL

[@MsGoldgirl]

I know-every year I say I'm going to get done earlier than I do but it's always a last minute thing for me!

[@hrhpaula6067]

This was an awesome list of unique gift ideas. Thank you for sharing!

[@michellesloan8025]

Hello! Thank you so much for all of these great ideas! Could you please do a video on Hanukkah and Christmas gifts for tween, teenage boys, and men? And also some videos on tween, teen boy, and men Amazon and Walmart clothes? Please?

[@MsGoldgirl]

I will try!

[@erinwright30]

Best video ever!! I saved it to reference it for gift giving!

[@MsGoldgirl]

Thank you so much!!

[@annaleifeste4623]

You bring me such joy I love when I get noticed that you have a new show. Thank for being there for me. ❤

[@tinajames2940]

Yes please! More gift ideas. Would also love a video on how you recently lost a few pounds. You looked great before and look great now too.

I bought the hanging toiletry bag and love it. It holds so much.

It's like a Mary Poppins bag!

I love the wash for my bed linens. I got one for my December birthday last year.

[@marcyfalconer1275]

awesome ideas. Thank you

[@Jen39x]

We’ve done a white elephant Christmas which becomes a way to pass around junk. Favorite things sounds a lot more interesting as a change

[@MsGoldgirl]

I think you'd really enjoy it!

[@patkern185]

You've come up with some great gift picks, Marnie! I highly recommend the Cinema Secrets brush cleaner, as well. I hope you don't mind if I suggest to anyone who buys it to PLEASE read the directions and don't drown the brushes.. just dip the tips. I start with my cleanest dirty brushes first, then do foundation and other more dense brushes that will drink up more of the cleaner. Run the brushes over a clean towel or paper towels and hang upside down or lay on an angle to dry completely (most can be used right away). Great product and all great suggestions, Marnie. I may get shopping done early this year! XXOO ❤️ ❤️

[@MsGoldgirl]

Great advice! I hope by now most people know to never submerge their brushes but sadly we can't assume anything these days!

[@patkern185]

@MsGoldgirl Sadly, I saw a KZbinr do just that. I was yelling "No..Stop!" at my phone. 😄

[@MsGoldgirl]

@@patkern185 😂😂

[@robinspencer9611]

Great list!🌺🌺🌺

[@goddessoftheswamp]

Love the travel streamer. Purchased it after seeing you rave about it. But it's not meant to be used overseas. In fact the manufacturer states to not do so as it will cause harm to the product. Any steamer recommendations to be used for international travel? Much appreciated.

[@MsGoldgirl]

I haven’t done any overseas travel in a long time so that hasn’t been something I’ve needed. Sorry!

[@katherine8105]

Really great recommendations! Thank you for all the great ideas. This is incredibly helpful. The chin strap is new to me. Can’t wait to give it a try!

[@MsGoldgirl]

It's a great product!

[@BrightRiverSunset]

Thank you for sharing these ideas! I have the exact same hanging toiletry bag and I love it.

[@juliebrown3003]

Thank you so much for this list!! My friends do a Bunco/white elephant night around Christmas and this is perfect! Lots of good ideas!! One of my favorite gifts to give is a bottle of wine, plastic glass, bath bomb, face mask, and hair mask. Heb has several great choices around $2 so you can put in several. It all depends on the cost of the wine. Lol. Or champagne. And the plastic glass…lets just say I have broken a wine glass while in the tub. 😳😬😂 thanks for another wonderful video! Enjoy the rain 🌧️ today!! ❤❤❤

[@MsGoldgirl]

I didn't recommend alcohol because I don't personally drink-and for those who do, their tastes tend to be very personal. I have heard of a variation on this party where the guests bring 2-3 of their favorite bottles of wine. 1 to taste and 2 to share. It's a wine tasting/gift exchange in one!

[@juliebrown3003]

@@MsGoldgirl true. One year I had a sparkling cider option. And last year I did hot cocoa. Lol.

[@lisascanlon9633]

Hi Marnie, love your channel. With regards to the clothes steamer, does it need distilled water or can you use tap water? Thanks for all the great reviews.

[@MsGoldgirl]

You can use either but of course distilled is always best.

Hey Marnie thank you for all the great gift ideas! The acacia cutting board link does not look like the one you received. Yours has a hole near the handle and has the silicone feet on the backside and seems larger as well. Can you provide the link to yours? I couldn’t find it. Thanks!

[@MsGoldgirl]

The one I have is a gift so I don't have the exact link. I tried to find one the most similar at the same price point. You can certainly look to see similar suggestions below the linked item if you want to find others!

[@dalemoore8582]

Just a little question, why does everyone lose their mind for Stanley cups??? Are they better than Yeti cup? I just havent understood the phenomenom!!!

[@MsGoldgirl]

I love them both, but I will admit that the iceflow design that I shared does keep my drinks cold AND makes it easy to travel around with it.

[@Sewmena918]

I just got the big Stanley come from my employer and I think it is better than the Yeti. If I had a Yeti, I wouldn’t rush out to buy the Stanley, though.
