Woman to woman: I love your channel. When I am feeling blue, I love to watch you because I admire your faith. I know you have struggles of your own which can be overwhelming, but I feel we could sit down and you would say, "Girl I got ya." You just seem like that kind of woman. God bless you!!!

[@hateskatz]

Absolutely loved the flower idea! Gorgeous little bouquet! Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh that’s the cutest idea! Thank you Leslie!

[@samanthatodd7100]

Love the drink carrier idea. I did this for my co-workers and added an apple and Carmel dipping sauce packet. For my neighbors, I might add the popcorn! When it comes to putting a wooden spoon over boiling water, it works for me. The drawstring bag, I like it folded down. Very cute ideas! ❤

[@tinahengen3168]

Great gift ideas! I simply put a metal spoon taller than the pot in and the steam rises up it and out! Never a boil over!

[@cecwintonyk8228]

Great gift ideas and all beautifully presented. I bought a bouquet of flowers at a local grocery store to take as a hostess gift when we went to friends' house for lunch last week and just presented them the way the store sold them (minus the price tag). This store usually has lovely flowers but this time they looked great on the top but when our friend cut them open, they were rotting inside the sleeve where I couldn't see. Talk about embarrassing but if I had seen your flower gift and tried that, I would have caught it before I went. I will definitely save that idea for another time.

[@user-jt7ou4rv4c]

I had read in Myka Meiers etiquette book that if you bring flowers for hostess to put it in vase. She said the hostess is running around getting drinks and welcoming people that you don't want her to stop and look for a vase ,etc. I never thought about it b4

[@lindacrews9340]

You just get better and better ❣️ All of these are great gifts . They will be loved by whomever you give them to. I like to give gifts, a hug or a smile for no particular reason and these are perfect❤ Pray you and Jason have had a wonderful Sunday 😊❤❤

[@missbarbarajean]

I love this! I actually used the wood cutting board today for a housewarming gift! Instead of a board, Hobby Lobby had a big wooden leaf, and I used that with a wooden spoon and a large sprig of autumn floral with a white daisy, using ribbon to tie up instead of twine. It was a beautiful and everyone there was impressed! Thank you so much!

[@hettiekenny5185]

So easy, so simple, so clever, Leslie! Thanks, you’re rocking it!

[@maggieferguson6870]

Loved all your thoughtful gifts! I especially like the stuffed slippers. I’m going to do this at Christmas instead of stockings!❤

[@Julie-si3hi]

Thank you so much for these cute not expensive gifts x I'm on a really tight budget being disabled but I love gift giving x

[@lorrainechapman6940]

The wooden spoon trick has always worked for me ,and we have an electric stove. The gift ideas are great ones ❤ My favorite way was the old store way of rolling the bag down

[@mollysmith6055]

Such cute ideas, Leslie. Did you know they make a pint and a half jar that would be the perfect size for that cookie mix with no excess head space. Also, a standard plastic fruit cup normally fits inside a standard mouth mason jar and could be used to hold that cinnamon spice mix if the Krusteaz mix would fit the quart jar and leave enough room at the top for the fruit cup insert. Smart tip about the popcorn kernel too. Thank you! Edit: I'm a home canner, can you tell jars are my thing? haha

[@melissakoon2097]

Make banana butter with m.cheeries so yummy and simple

[@jacquelinelykins4485]

Just wondering if the little 2oz portion cup with a lid would fit into the jar for the cons on sugar pouch. Cute ideas. So many times we do eat with our eyes. Presentation does it every time.

[@PatriciaLiittschwager]

@@jacquelinelykins4485Amen!,,❤❤❤

[@KathyFranklinu2]

I would shrink wrap them

[@glynnismonaghan9032]

Some great and very thoughtful gift ideas Leslie. Presentation is everything when gifting. Best wishes from Co Durham in England.x

[@joanndelise7292]

I loved these gift ideas. Its nice to get a thoughtful present. And as you said can add a gift card. I would absolutely love any one of these. Have a blessed day.

[@peggyhiggins4849]

No matter if I use and electric stove or gas stove the wooden spoon trick, ALWAYS works for me. Luv that trick. On the cookie bag I personally love the folded country store bag! So dang cute! Luv all ur ideas and luv that they r inexpensive!! Luv watching u and Jason!!❤️

[@suebabe100]

Hi Leslie, I love your gift ideas! They are so meaningful to the recipient. Thank you!

[@sharonpence6919]

Leslie, I Always always put a wooden spoon over a boiling pot and it has always worked without fail. I have an electric stove, love your videos

[@kcotjo]

Greetings from the middle of Nebraska! Leslie your gift ideas are wonderful!!! I especially liked the slipper idea. Something cozy to give to someone who has been sick, or just had a baby or even if perhaps they've lost their spouse; something warm and comforting. Your videos are always so inspirational, uplifting and joyful!! Thank you for sharing!

[@janetgriffin2657]

Love your ideas Leslie! Wooden spoon + boiling pot + gas stove= Total success!

[@brightpage1020]

The coffee flower drink holder! Love the recycling aspect. I have like 3 of those in my car at any given time (we have 4 children and get lunch or supper drive thrus during their naps too offen). I want to do this for my sister! She is always doing nice things for me even though she'super busy with her own family and business. I could set some tea out for her to surprise her when she goes into her day care space in fhs morning!

[@purplephoenixartbymicheled9298]

🌬❣Such great ideas. I will be having a total hip replacement next Tuesday in Ashville 🤗 Hint ... Hint lol

[@ACharmingAbode]

Praying all goes well and you have a quick, smooth recovery! 💗

[@purplephoenixartbymicheled9298]

🌬❣Thanks so much. I pray you and Jason are doing well too. XOXO XOXO

[@pathickman3522]

I use the wooden spoon works every time and I have an electric stove. Loved all the gift ideas.

[@paulinecallahan6888]

Love these ideas! I recently gifted the drink tray idea with fall flowers to a friend who works at a medical clinic. She was so touched she actually started crying. Thanks again for this great gift idea ❤

[@dsims868]

It is so much fun to give! Good for the mind and soul. Some of the people who give the most have the least. Spread kindness y'all!😊

[@sherriwilson9226]

Love the burlap bag with the top turned down. These were all good ideas and some new ones I hadn’t seen before.

[@susanmccoy1992]

I love these ideas Leslie! I already know who I'm giving the drink tray idea to🤗 Thanks for sharing!

[@joyleonberger8814]

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

[@JasmineBrownOttawa]

Love these ideas, thank you! I usually go with homemade food - like a jam, a dozen muffins, or a mason jar mix idea. I loved your cutting board idea, this would also work great for a hostess gift when you stay for the weekend or a holiday

[@lindapeterson5388]

Leslie, you bring such joy to this world when it is so very needed. Your ideas are wonderful, and you present them with such joy. God put you on this earth because he knew you would do his work and bring everyone joy. Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@robertbaker9775]

Such fun, creative, happy, and thoughtful gifts, Leslie! Your blouse is adorable, too❣️ Linda

[@9384cows]

You can also add more chocolate chips or add in raisins to fill up that space. Great Ideas! Thank You!

[@teresaholm3178]

[@juberoma2429]

Wonderful ideas, Leslie! I saw one that was a ‘Sunshine’ one with Lemon drop candy etc.💕

[@deborahpinto7299]

Love these ideas, Leslie!! Can't wait to do the drink holder one for a friend next week! 💗

[@lucybloom7600]

Sweet gifts Leslie. Especially liked the house slipper gift idea plus several others. It really is about brighting up another's day and giving love.💖💖 Thank you.

[@pattil3496]

Love these ideas!! Especially the house shoes one. Wooden spoon works for me to stop pot from boiling over!

[@everydayhomemakingVB]

Cute ideas! (And I think the wooden spoon tip works to keep an initial boil-over at bay, but if left unchecked, I'm guessing it will still overflow. My understanding is that the spoon over the top helps break the surface tension of the bubbles as it boils, so it can help at first but if the heat stays up, the spoon eventually won't be able to do the trick anymore.)

[@sheryllawson4868]

I love all the ideas Leslie. I put it in my pintrest great ideas for anytime. I love the wine bag rolled down too it looks nice that way. God bless

[@doanetriggs5563]

These clever ideas are so helpful!! I love that they don’t look like “loving hands at home” but rather sophisticated!

[@monicakostak9841]

You can keep a wood spoon in the pot of liquid to keep from boiling over. Super cute 🎁 gift ideas ! Thanks for sharing !

[@vernayoung2467]

Starting my gift list right now!! Unique and special gifts tailored to the recipient!! Thanks for the ideas!!

[@sarahgardner6341]

This is amazing! Thank you!!! I’m a house cleaner looking for gift ideas for my clients. I’d love it if you did another affordable gift video! Just can’t get enough of your content!

[@amyberg1413]

Super cute, easy and attractive gift ideas! Thanks Leslie!

[@catalinawoody6954]

Love these ideas. We love popcorn too so will have to make a trial test batch first.

[@elizabethcallihan9971]

Thank you Leslie!🎉

[@SJD36]

Was thinking a pack of homemade potpourri would also go nice in the glass jar for after use of cookie mix or in place of. That way it can be a decoration and it gives it even more use🙂 The decoration on outside is lovely!

[@mariannemay4760]

You're such a giver ❤. Making gifts look special brings the extra extra!

[@tammyschrader6210]

LOVE these ideas! These are great and so simple and unique! Thanks so much Leslie for always coming up with so many unique and helpful ideas in your videos! You try to help out everyone which I love!

[@cherylmclemore66]

What a fantastic idea, Leslie!

[@kimacker8594]

Wow Leslie, these were some really cute and inexpensive gifts to give. I agree with you that presentation is everything! I really love the made with love bags and stickers, you can make your specialty treat to share with others and present it so beautifully!

As always, you have given us cute ideas for easy, thoughtful gifts. Have a blessed week, Leslie.

[@ellenharris3868]

Love the gift ideas! So creative! Thanks! I always used a stainless 9:34 steel spoon, but will be trying the wooden spoon.

[@angelmom916]

I’ve been using the wooden spoon trick for years..Gas or electric works for me…I put it on and can leave my pot and not worry about boil overs and a mess….Thank you for the ideas…Love them all…I’m doing cutting boards with a fave recipe for gifts..I did glass baking pans last year with the last names on them,saying.baked with love from the …. Can always identify your pan…

[@erinluke2913]

Great ideas, Leslie! You always have such special touches to everything. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks.

[@nancyparks195]

I haven't tried the wooden spoon over boiling pasta. I just put a metal spoon in the bottom of the pan of water and it always works. Love your gift ideas!

[@rosiehelminiak2947]

These were awesome! I will definitely be stopping back before the holidays as a reminder. If you do more videos like this...i will not complain 😊! Im fact, you could do these as a series and then around Thanksgiving, do them as a gift giving marathon video to get ready for Christmas! But ONLY if you want to😂!

[@kimberlyallen2304]

I love all of these gifts ideas, they are great. I have used the wooden spoon on top of a pot to keep it from boiling over for years. I have an electric stove and yes it works every time!!

[@traci3466]

Love these ideas so much!!! I can’t wait to try them!

[@dariana4247]

Happy October 2023! Love the popcorn idea to make with the grandkids. Happy Halloween!

[@leanneadams2804]

Wonderful ideas Leslie, I know of several people that would enjoy these gifts. I use the spoon trick on my electric cook top, this definitely works. Have a blessed day. 🙏

[@pampriddy7659]

Love, love love every one of these ideas! You are such a talented lady and your awesome personality is the icing on the cake. I’ve been watching and subscribed to both your channels for a long time. Your videos are the only ones I get excited about and look forward to. As for the wooden spoon thing, it has never worked for me. 😢 I keep you and Jason in my prayers always. ♥️

[@elizabethrusso5564]

Wonderful and creative ideas, Leslie! I'd love to receive them as a gift. Very cute. I agree that presentation is so important and makes the recipient feel special, too! And the wooden spoon trick does work for me, too, on my gas stove. 🤗🍂

[@kathypatterson4630]

Love that drink carrier idea! and the slippers. Electric stove works for me (wooden spoon). Such sweet ideas!

[@karenwalker3233]

OMG!!!! These are precious!

[@joannpergakis4183]

Oh wow. Love each gift With money tight and Christmas coming Thank you I got my pad and pencil with all your ideas. Happy Sunday to you and Jason

[@republicanrule]

I love popcorn too and I love these ideas! For some reason I preferred the sack straight up as opposed to the folded down sack, but it was still cute and it reminded me of Santa's sack.

[@Raggdoll52]

Leslie each of these gift ideas are just fantastic and so fresh and new, at least to me and I am 71. I going to use the cutting board idea for a family member who just moved into their new built home! As for the wooden spoon and the boiling pot, works for me and right now I have an electric stove. We bought new gas stove, still in box waiting for new kitchen! I just love your attitude about life. It is not always easy but we just keep trying and I believe the good Lord blesses us for our faithfulness and knowing he is bigger than anything that comes our way!

[@pattycarosi9618]

Leslie I love them all. Such cute ideas for gifts for any holiday. Hope you and Jadon are doing well. Have a great weekend. ♥️🙏🌴

[@SunCity95]

Love love love ❤ all of your ideas! And although the presents are simple, you’re absolutely right they are thoughtful and will certainly brighten someone’s day. Planning to use several of them 😉 For the cookie mix, I like both presentations but I have some mason jars on hand so I guess I’ll just go with that idea 😄 Thanks so much for this video!

[@tammytanksley1672]

I love all of your ideas. I plan on using all of them. Thank you Leslie

[@sherryanderson25]

Love the flower gift basket! 💐

[@k4xxxminecrafter792]

[@mlm7598]

Such darling ideas........love these! Everything looks delicious and appealing to be sure. I too love Krusteaz anything. Water and stir and you're good to go. These ideas have helped me with my Christmas list of little treats for the kids, grandkids and great grandkids. Love it. Thank you for all you do. God bless and have a beautiful week!

[@rebekahbardsley5947]

Hi Leslie, This morning Saturday, Oct 7th I was on my way to work by 7am. 3rd Saturday in a row and 3 more to work. This morning I stopped at Duncan Donut to get my boss a donut and myself a Pumpkin Swirl coffee. It's the best I have ever had. I love the magnet you included on your coffee caddy about having more faith more than fear, I have the very same saying but, it's wording is embroidered onto an old vintage piece of quilt. I took it off my fireplace mantle when I put photos up of my Mom for her bday and for my bday. I need to find where I have that framed quilt and put it back up. It would be beautiful to display on my serving windowsill with a couple of pumpkins. I love all your ideas. They are all beautiful but, will not break the bank. Love, Rebekah

[@lindaschneidewind8164]
