Buying CHEAP CHRISTMAS GIFTS at the MOST EXPENSIVE stores! 😮 IS IT POSSIBLE?

[@beckysloan1377]

You should go back after Christmas and see what they reduce everything to!

[@FamilyFreedom]

That’s a great idea Becky! Thank you 🤩

[@johnlawrence2757]

They only make big reductions on stuff no-one wants anyway, to entice you into the store, and then you discover that the items you actually need have gone UP - no discount, nothing off. And you have to pay for the carrier bag too.

[@EmilyCheetham]

£17 for that mushroom bag is actually pretty good. Iv seen similar sort of handbags for £20-£30.

[@kudapooda9993]

Hi ALL , we have got a wax stamp ,with are anichel . Katie I have been making jam with the Morrison's wonky fruits . And marmarlad and pairing them up for gifts. I got a willies and grommet bag then I've put paster biscuits and also cooking sources . Thank you for sharing your day .😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

[@livingwithme436]

On the coffee beans bag its a 1 way valve. It allows gas to escape and keeps oxygen and moisture out. Without the valve the beans would go stale faster and the bags would likely explode 😂

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah right, thanks for the info! 😊

[@RaptureReady-p8f]

I love when you go to places in and around London. So fun. I would definitely purchase the “High Tea” tree ornament. Was beautiful! ❤❤

[@Boo-rista]

freedom!! Katie you are correct in the way with the coffee tasting notes... it's how the coffee tastes on the palet.. it's How we interpret the flavours. Always remember the flavour notes are what the coffee roaster can taste... the consumer might not pick up on those flavours, and that's absolutely fine. All the foods we eat, we store them in like an internal memory bank... so what the roaster has eaten in his/her life might not be the same as the consumer of the coffee.... therfore meaning the might not pick up on those flavours. Also the holes on coffee bags are there to help naturally forming Co2 to escape... without the holes coffee bags would pop on the shelf!! I absolutely love watching you stuff and please if your ever in telford again come to the Bodum cafe outlet store and grab some amazing bargains... along with beautifully local roasted coffee and vegan hotdogs for £1!!!

[@KreekCraftsBiggestFan_Lucy]

lol under 1 hour gang

[@lornamaynard9708]

What a beautiful store ,be careful you don't break anything lol. Have fun love from Maine Lorna ❤️

[@lanamitchell6592]

I like libertys I find it more calming than harrods idk why😂 I think bc I had bad experience at harrods and good experience at libertys😂. I like all selfridges, harrods, liberty and fortnum bright colour scheme! Great video! Take care Just keep rising 💚🌻🌿

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hi Lana, we hope you’re well and having a good day too!! We haven’t been to Liberty yet! But we should definitely go in the new year! I totally know what you mean about Harrods 🤣 It’s a bit much for a lot of people especially around Christmas 🎄 Yes they all have lovely colour schemes 😊 Say hi to your lovely mum for us!! Take care too and Just Keep Rising 💚🌻🌿

[@julesholt]

Katie, you need the afternoon tea ornament :( Hope they have some reduced in January xx

[@annalevermore7857]

I got a F&M moneybox tin for £4 in my local charity shop. Originally had choc coins in it.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Well done! That sounds like a great bargain 👌😊

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Good shop bargains 😊

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you Doris 😊

[@melissalambert7615]

Some really nice gifts. I might be one of the few people in the world who does not want names on my items. Not even tees. But would be very happy with a jar of good marmalade. Had to MO some from The English Tea Store. I think flags are very interesting. Every US state has their own flag and most are pretty complicated. Blue is the most common color in world flags. Hi from rainy Oregon.

[@christinenightingale2528]

F&M is my fave. I asked hubby if we could go but it's quite the trek from Lancashire 😅. A lot of F&M mugs are bone China which isn't vegan. Thanks for showing us round. ❤

[@lizg5574]

You reminded me of a random act of kindness that I was the beneficiary of, 25+ years ago. I had joined an online chat group and was taking part in a learning course, just for fun. At the end, the guy in charge asked questions that you then emailed the answers in to him. He said that if anyone got above 90% of the answers he would do a random act of kindness for them. I don't know what my score was, but he emailed back and asked for my home address. He was in Canada, so as we were moving overseas just a few weeks later, my husband agreed to me giving our address. Three days later there was a knock on the door and when I answered, there was a man from Fortnum and Mason with two boxes. One was a mix of wines - 5 red, 1 rose, 5 white, 1 champagne. The second box contained gift foods and chocolates. Altogether over 800 pounds worth of items! I couldn't believe it! And yes, it was the 'random act of kindness' reward! Most of the food was given away to people who'd enjoy it, as was most of the wine. We don't drink, but the champagne is still tucked away in a safe place! It's a reminder of that generosity! We did enjoy some chocolate, a fruit cake and coffee, but the rest was way too rich for us and, living near Windsor, we had people around us whose palates were more used to things like caviar and fois gras!

[@kathrynstewart8546]

You guys could get that £15 tree decoration with an F for family freedom x

[@FamilyFreedom]

That’s a lovely idea 💚😊💚

[@Shay20188]

I got a branded harrods cheese ceramic baker for £15 and it’s so lovely!

[@fayecox9401]

I got that same peacock bauble from b&m and I paid 3;99

[@joannamoll7131]

Looks like a Tiffany blue the flask.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Yes, very similar colours 😊

[@dizzycowuk]

I gasped so loud when you turned that paperweight over! Wow

[@FamilyFreedom]

I know what you mean 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mama4d8]

I can't think of one high end store in the US unless you travel to California's Rodeo Dr. or maybe New York. I did a lot of shopping from TikTok this year because there's not a thing anyone needs so I went for novelty items. Even our dwindling malls are boring. Your shops there are very interesting.

[@zoelander2848]

I like looking for cheap christmas gifts for people to i picked up a christmas colouring book out the works for £2.40 instead of £3

[@FamilyFreedom]

Nice 👌 That sounds like a great bargain! The Works has so many reasonably priced gifts 🎁

[@EmilyCheetham]

(Fortune & mason) £25 for some of those tree decorations isn’t that bad. I buy one or two beauty and the beast tree decorations each year from hallmark & Disney store and they are around £25 each.

[@cherylbaker4290]

You should go to Harvey Nichols too

[@FamilyFreedom]

Good idea Cheryl! 😃

[@pattiross-d9d]

How do the Enlish drink their tea?

[@FamilyFreedom]

Lots of English people use tea bags in a cup with hot water and milk but many people like to put loose tea or tea bags into a tea pot to brew. The tea pot is more traditional. We tend to do it both ways depending on the occasion 💚

[@violethirst7498]

You missed liberty

[@fv1291]

Give giftcards instead so your friends can use them at the after Christmas sales.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Great idea! 😃

[@fv1291]

​@@FamilyFreedomMerry Christmas from California. 😊

[@Eleanor_899]

12:00 it literally says 'Winnie the Pooh' (not Alice in Wonderland)

Yay Chloe!!! 😃

[@rayshelld791]

It still seems a bit much when you are mostly paying for just a name.

[@ClaireRader]

My niece was married recently and did the wax stamp on her wedding invitations. It was beautiful!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw, it’s lovely that people still do it 😊

[@joannewall5499]

Too nice for jojo, nothing is too nice for jojo,

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw you are so kind Joanne 💚

[@cassiesadz352]

Shocking prices!!! I think its a shame ppl like named stuff when all theyre doing is lining the fat cats pockets 🙄xxx

[@jscwan]

so the fortnum products??? are they made in the Uk or in China??

[@FamilyFreedom]

I think a lot of Fortnum own brand products might be made in China. I saw it on a few labels.

[@janetsanford6923]

I see at 18:36 on the back of the apron says "Made in China", so not just the USA imports products from there. 😐

[@mxfolkard]

I love and want to go tho these places but they seem overwhelming and busy, if it’s okay to say, how does JoJo cope as I know he’s autistic too? Lovely vlog by a lovely family? 💚 #freegang #livebutnotlive

[@RyanBromhead503]

The only things I don't like about London 1. How busy it is. 2. How expensive it is. I remember going to the Fortune Theatre, to see The Woman in Black stage performance (Had 2 actors). I was with secondary school, because I was doing drama A bag of chocolate was £3. This was a decade ago, and I still remember it. I thought of some merch ideas. Having some of your quotes on stuff "Coming to you live, but not live" "Can't leave them there, for that price"

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Ryan, thanks for your comment! We understand how you feel, there are definitely some things in London that can be expensive! 😊 Thanks for the merch ideas, those sounds great! 👌

[@joannewall5499]

I would t be buying anything that somebody put their nose to 😂

[@FamilyFreedom]

Very true 🙈

[@paulinelee9483]

Astonishing when you think children are going withour meals.

[@AngelaK-55]

What a rip off I wouldn't want anything just to show off their name but okay if you like overpriced tat just to show off to friends 🎉🎉

[@zoelander2848]

Wait till after christmas everything gets reduced thats what i did i got an advent calander from tkmaxx for £14 from £30 this year and a christmas eve box for 25p from £5 in the works after christmas

[@FamilyFreedom]

Wow, those are great reductions Zoe. Thanks for the tip!
