[@brenjim32]

JoJo knows his Mom but the Bean bag was a winner for me!

[@jontim7667]

you all did well but I think Jojo did the best because his presents for his mum are a bit more xmas/cozy..... cup of tea with socks looking at your new xmas decoration when writing in your new notepad... it a whole vibe... HIHIHi love from the Netherlands Joyce

[@FamilyFreedom]

Very true Joyce! JoJo did really well with his £10 Poundland gift 💚 Sending much love over to the Netherlands 😊

[@Ladystardust-h8b]

The winner is JoJo!!! Those gorgeous birds are lovely and it’s handy to keep a diary and I love fluffy socks and cups of tea!

[@mumtazbano8369]

Brilliant video. I thought jojos gifts for Katie were spot on. ❤

[@valtaylor6453]

Katie for bobs gifts 🎉

[@pamelacochran9521]

I can't chose who did the best shopping. Everyone was so thoughtful with their choices. It was sweet hearing the reasoning behind each of thd gifts. Here in the US we have Dollar Tree and ours is similar to Poundland.

[@susanab7]

Kitty sitting patiently waiting for their gifts 😊

[@FamilyFreedom]

😻🐾😻

[@GinaRussell-c2c]

I really do like Poundland it’s good 👍 value for anyone’s money,Nowadays you got to shop around if you are on a budget,when I was a kid my grandma gave me money to buy my parents gifts 🎁 in Woolworths and one year I bought my mum a gift set and a bag of pick And mix lol 😂 because as a kid I Remember my mum enjoying eating my pick and mix, thank you 🙏 for the vlog

[@mimozlife]

I think Katie won with the gifts she gave Bob 🥰

[@excitedbyjoe]

[@joannewall5499]

Haha so funny that you both picked up the same snack

[@FamilyFreedom]

So funny 😂😂😂

[@EK.shortsentertainment]

You're my comfort watch ❤. I love this. Last week I gave my son a budget of £20 per parent (me and his stepdad) and he had to get some presents, he really enjoyed it. Inspo from you guys. He's 10 and felt really grown up because he got to choose everything on his own and he added it up on his calculator🥰.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah that's so lovely to hear. We're glad that you enjoy watching our videos and felt inspired to do something like that 😊

[@ImeldaByrne-z4x]

I think you all did great but I love the 'beans bag' x❤🇮🇪

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

Our Dollar Tree in The States range from $1.25 and up.

[@userteresataylor]

Best ❤❤ love the freeGang and also jojo ofc went to the beens 😂🎉😊.

[@Letitia-Smith]

I enjoyed this, definitely so handy to see the amount of gifts you can get with a budget:) That bag was definitely made for JoJo 😂😂

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you for your lovely comment Letitia! We're glad you enjoyed the challenge! Yes, JoJo absolutely loves his new beans bag 😊💚😂

[@zoelander2848]

Poundland is really good for gifts as things are cheap but sale items are really good

[@kimnapier8387]

Happy Sunday to you ❤️! This makes me feel joy watching you do the Christmas challenges! Thank you

[@FamilyFreedom]

HAPPY SUNDAY KIM 😊 You are so welcome! We're so glad that you are enjoying our Christmas challenges! We had a lot of fun at Poundland!

[@LittleBitofSunshine]

I always think of Jojo when I see the bean bags! They’ve had so many of them the past 6 months 😂 so Bob I’m going to give you the win because I’ve wanted to give Jojo a bean bag for waaaaaay too long 😂

[@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj]

Love the Santa hats ❤️

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you 😊

[@catherineclark2949]

Loved this, so much fun very thoughtful gifts. I will definitely be looking for the tape measure key ring xx

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you Catherine! Good luck finding the key ring 💚

[@odragon4425]

Your videos are so lovely. A lot of thought went into everyone's gift. Im going to go with Katie, purely for the price of the tape measure! Proper bargain, and Bob seemed especially pleased with it.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@annalevermore7857]

I think it's good to set a budget if doing secret santa. So everyone pays the same. Your cat was eyeing up the bird decorations!

[@FamilyFreedom]

She has attacked the tree a few times this year 😹

[@sharonellis8776]

I think that you all did really well. For me Katy is the winner ! xx

[@FamilyFreedom]

Just like our dollar tree in the USA.Everything used to be just $1.00. Now they added $5.00 items and $10.00 items as well.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Yes! We noticed this too when we were in the USA earlier this year. We actually did a comparison video between Dollar Tree and Poundland kzbin.info/www/bejne/eobWY556apKWpNEsi=K2A7vYSC1h3WWaoR

[@EmilyCheetham]

I’d have complained at the checkout and said “but the price on the shelf said X price”. Iv don’t that before and then people have checked the shelf and honoured the price on the shelf.

[@FamilyFreedom]

That's a good point Emily! We should do that if it happens again 😊

[@gemmamitchell2909]

Where’s the Minnie and Mickey Mouse gift bags from? They’re super cute ❤

We actually got them free from a Disney event last Christmas! They were goodie bags that we got given at the end. We agree they are super cute 💚😊

[@sophietierney-jf6el]

love love your channel and your shopping challenges and I noticed you have a black and white cat cool is a boy or girl and what is the cat name and does the cat get Christmas presents too I just bought my mums cats parsley and basil and the dog Lucy Christmas presents and I think you did a excellent job on buying Christmas presents for $10 pounds 😋😋🙃🎄🎄🛍️🎁🎁

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hi Sophie, thanks for your comment 😊 Our cat is a girl. She wandered over from a neighbour's home about 8 years ago, and chose to stay with us ever since. She still goes back there for food though. Her real name is Luna, but before we found this out, we gave her the name Catsimir which is from a children's book that we used to read to JoJo 😸

[@sophietierney-jf6el]

@ that’s so cool you’re cats name is Luna and the my mother called her Siamese cats basil and parsley she has herb plants and love eating all the leaves off the plants they are both 4 years old and love to drive my nuts wrapping Christmas presents and she also has a dog named Lucy she is 2 years old and still in the puppy faze and I love your Christmas tree my family has to have there’s behind a big cadge because the cats drink the Christmas tree water and know the tree over and I can’t wait to see what challenges you come up with next 🤣🤣😅😂🎁🎁🎄🎄

[@rachelstreater2816]

[@lanamitchell6592]

Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! I saw the beanz bag in poundland and thought of you guys! I think there's another version if I remember correctly! I just got back from hospital I had no signal to be able to watch your vlog! But watching it now! I had ct scans on my head from where i hit it and nothing major wrong! And funny thing was when I was having my blood test on the radio was playing the song from wicked which has been stuck in my head all week😂😂. Take care Just keep rising 💚🌻🌿

[@mxfolkard]

Happy Sunday guys!! Really enjoying these Christmas challenges! No baked beans as such for JoJo but a baked beans themed bag. 💚 #freegang #livebutnotlive #justkeeprising

Hello freedom family. Pink is my fav too Katie. You all did really well. Bobba: could you and the family think of getting a post office box so we could send things to you all. My friend has a channel and has one. It is great to send notes/cards/ birthday gifts and little somethings. Can you do another video with the new baby and family. They grow so fast and will be big soon. Thanks. Blessings to all ❤❤

[@Angela-1974]

I think you all did good, my favourite is the diary/notebooks cos I love stationery. What I want to know is how can they still justify calling it poundland when hardly anything is a pound anymore? 😂

[@FamilyFreedom]

You're are right, they should call it Poundland ish 😂

[@JumpingJoJo]

Poundland Christmas shopping is the best 😄

[@FamilyFreedom]

It really is!

[@dawnkelly2229]

Oh my goodness me now going to Poundland to buy loads of Turkish delight as it was my favourite sweet and I had stopped looking at it couple of years ago as most had gelitine in love that so many things are changing to be vegetarian vegan freindly a lot more that the 30+ years ago I stopped eating meat

[@FamilyFreedom]

We hope they are some in stock at your local Poundland, it’s delicious Dawn 😋 🌱💚

[@what_im_eatin_uk]

Poundland is very very sneaky with misprices these days I have found this a lot in there

[@FamilyFreedom]

Maybe we should email Poundland and let them know that this is happening 😊

Katie received the best gift haul for 10. Worst? that's easy - JoJo and that awful Tesla CyberTruck! how could you do that to him, Bob? I think maybe you don't know that drivers of those are universally scorned in the US. Funny, I've just read an article in the last hour entitled, "Man Puzzled by Why His Cybertruck Makes Him a Public Laughingstock" - these are not going over well in the public square. Enjoy your next 10 fun days leading up to Christmas, Freedom Family!! love your channel

What advice would you give someone who is wanting to go vegan.

[@lindastevens6861]

Pound land plays dirty Closes a branch Last day December 24😢 only one employee relocated Pondland barnstaple

[@FamilyFreedom]

Sorry to hear that branch of Poundland has closed! We hope the employees find new jobs soon 🥲

[@Charlotte-uo5zq]

Does Bob have another job ? Xx

[@FamilyFreedom]

He does a few other things but making videos is where we like to focus our time 😊

[@catherine5957]

Hey, I've been following you since you were vegan geezer, i saw bob performing his poetry at a vegfest with jojo just a toddler. Back in those days you seemed so passionate about veganism. Nowadays i find it sad that you are such champions for consumerism, buying cheaply made tat from china etc, every video, and so much ultra processed high salt nutrient bereft junk. I would love to see your videos move away from this to something more aligned with the values that turned you vegan. Keep on rising!

[@odragon4425]

I disagree. They regularly post budget friendly supermarket shops, and, as its Christmas, they're posting budget friendly gift ideas. I rarely see them buying things just for the sake of buying things. And 'processed junk'? They eat healthier than anyone I've ever come across. KZbin channels change and evolve, as does their content.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hi Catherine, Thank you so much for following us for all these years and for sharing your thoughts so openly. It really means a lot that you’ve been part of our journey since the early days, and we completely understand where you’re coming from. Bob’s activism and passion for veganism were such an important part of our early journey, and they continue to inspire everything we do. Over time, as our family grew older and bigger now with grandchildren, we shifted our focus to a different kind of advocacy-one that allows us to spend more time together as a family while still spreading the message of positivity. These days, our channel is mostly about budgeting and about celebrating creativity with food, and we like showing how easy and fun it can be to live a vegan lifestyle. We’ve found that this approach reaches a much broader audience, including people who might have never considered veganism before. We’re constantly amazed by the messages we receive from viewers telling us they’ve gone vegan or trying one of our recipes because of our content! When Bob was focused solely on activism, it sometimes felt like an echo chamber. Now, by sharing our family life and recipes, we feel we’re inspiring change in a way that aligns with where we are in life. There are so many incredible activists out there doing amazing work, and we deeply respect them. We’re proud to play our part in the movement, even if it looks a little different these days. We’re also mindful of the choices we make, and we strive to do our best while balancing the realities of life as a family. We might not get everything perfect, but our goal is to keep spreading positivity, compassion, and a love for animals in a way that feels authentic to us. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment and for sticking with us over the years. We’re all working towards the same goal in our own ways, and your passion is truly inspiring 💚 Much love

[@catherine5957]

@FamilyFreedom makes a lot of sense, thanks for taking the time to write such a considered response! I still like watching all your vids even though they are less interesting to me content-wise nowadays. Your honesty and kindness always shines through.
