CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FOR OLDER TEENS! SARAH SAYS LETS CHAT

[@teresalast7352]

All those presents over the years showed at Xmas and never again. Us adults realized years ago they are returned!

[@chelb4786]

Lego is also underrated for all genders and ages. My teenager she loves interior decorating so gift vouchers to homeware stores, she has a field day with. A thing i love doing with my Son now is getting him car parts for his project clapper. We live in a low socio-economy so i try to focus my choices on getting them excited for the brighter future ahead. But your right, its so much easier to buy for girls than it is for boys. Even a prepaid lesson in driving. A few basic tools. We collect Die Casts so cant go wrong with them, or the Pop vinyls. If you want to get a Sentimental long lasting gift, you can pick up some really nice collector coins for like $10 upwards. I'm always trying to make money work for me so I try to find something that will increase in value so they can cash in on it later if they need to achieve bigger goals. That's the frugal single mum kind of mentality. So on the back of their gifts ii put some down in stocks and high interest banks. They might think i suck right now, but in time they will understand when i hand them the asset over.

Pile fillers = cheap tat! Better to have quality over quantity 👍 The meaning of Christmas is long lost 😢

[@SarahSays]

Hair dryers, family board games, hair curlers, make up and make up brushes, headsets / earphones are not cheap tat. Actually, it's all some people can afford so how about we stop being so inconsiderate to others? What works for you and your family might not work for the next and that's okay. It blows my mind how people ALWAYS have to be so negative and offensive.

[@julie-967]

@@SarahSays I was addressing you Sarah, not those that cannot financially do what you do! If you cared about the less fortunate as you seem to insinuate in your reply, then stop showing off what you buy. Should you have to do that? NO you shouldnt. Yes, people can choose not to watch, but there seems to be majority of Children and vulnerable people as your subscribers, they sometimes dont see it the way some others do. Food for thought 😊

As I’m listening to Sarah, she touched on a much loved tradition in our home in 70’s for Christmas gifts, that was colouring books too & we got Crayola Crayons, every year…🤣🖍 not felt pens 😢 Also did any one else have a brown paper bag with shell nuts 🌰 & satsumas in…?😊 showing my age !

I think subscriptions are definitely a good idea like a magazine or book subscription as then you get a present every month for a whole year ☺️ You can also just print out the subscription you have brought them and wrap it in a big box to disguise what it is but also give them something to ‘open’.

Yes I agree with you, I'm the only one in my circle of friends who wants a reborn although I'm older and I've never wished for makeup or handbags like most of them I know. But what I find most difficult is shopping for grandmas and grandpas, the older ones simply have everything and never wish for anything.♥️🎄

Sarah, Thanks for the gift guide. I think you were spot on for a lot of smaller gifts to fill the tree. With the brothers both off to college up north and working and maybe girl- friends our tree Christmas morning will be super bare already without their gifts. Then our baby girl is almost 13 and she wants the BIG gift.... and your video found me at the perfect time. I need some pile builders. Im so desperate to make the piles bigger im leaving some of the gifts in the big amazon boxes and just wrapping those.... i miss buying loads of barbies and and a motor home for them with a refrigerator and basket of food for the dolls and being the HERO Christmas morning. Sarah you are the best mom friend anyone could ask for. I hope you guys have a great Christmas

“Pile filler” “make the pile look bigger” …… it’s not all about how big the pile looks and you’re clearly buying to make the pile big.

[@idekwti6067]

The big piles of present is what gets them views ofc they will do it

[@SarahSays]

Did you not watch the vlog? Or did you just chose to not hear that part where I stated I had had requests from other mums for pile fillers? I didn't say I was looking for pile fillers myself. I clearly stated it was what I have requested. Maybe listen to all of it instead only the words that fit your narrative?.🥱

[@SarahSays]

@@idekwti6067 We have proved time and time again our children's piles have been the same since they were born ... nothing to do woth KZbin. It's VERY easy to make the piles look bigger for a thumbnail if that's what we wanted.

I totally understand what Sarah means. this year, my son is 18.

Thank you Sarah x💖💝

[@lyndsayslatter6847]

I love this. May I also add, that last year I bought all 3 of my teen and tween sons, a basic hair dryer each, and one of those moveable mirrors because I was fed up of hunting for mine when I wanted to use it 😂 this year they all have hairbrushes in their stocking for the same reasons 😆 I must admit, I’ve bought my boys the air up bottles for Christmas too. They are only allowed to drink water in school and the cost of these bottles and pods actually work out cheaper and better for the environment, than me buying 15 bottles of flavoured water each week for them 😂

Been watching your vlogs for years and never commented but some of these comments, honestly 😂 give it a bloody rest. growing up as one of three girls my parents always made sure we had the same amount of gifts. Christmas morning we would sit by our ‘piles’ and take it in turns to open a gift. The year my sister wanted a laptop the rest of her gifts were ‘fillers’ so she had the same amount to open as my other sister and I. Each family do things differently, there is no need for criticism. Shall we all argue over what veg we have on Xmas day next? 😂 I personally love watching Christmas morning vlogs and think it’s so sad that so many KZbinrs feel the need to add disclaimers to their videos.
