GIFTS FOR GIRLS | What I Got my 13 Year Old for Christmas!

[@charliefloral1561]

My favourite part of Christmas is opening presents that say “from Mum and Dad” and you know your dad has no idea what’s inside 😂

[@aplacetonest]

haha Isn't that the truth? : )

[@panicattheladydoor8591]

Charlotte Louise omg yeah 😂😂😂 they both act curious but ur dad actually doesn't no what it is..😂

[@elanalolli495]

So tru

[@katiewolcott2669]

Yasss!🤣

[@_mollywells]

Yeah😂😂

[@anniekatekane443]

I am 13 and I definitely don’t like toys but I do know everybody is different and I would love to see some of her artwork!

[@aplacetonest]

+Annie Kane Thank you for such a kind and respectful comment! Most comments from kids your age are very rude and bratty so I truly appreciate your mature attitude! 😊

[@nev9566]

A Place to Nest woah stereotypical and mean much

[@leenaa.9671]

Nev.Robson wow you’re immature

[@aribella5694]

A Place to Nest that is true I mean I'm getting a hatchimal for Christmas and I'm 14 so but yeah that is true most kids that comment are mean well the comments are mean

[@peachygirl7614]

U r a small kid and u don't like toys..... 😂 Remember u r still small OK... 😊

[@mercedesj4773]

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE 14 SAYING “ Hatchimals are for kids” I’m 17 I’d honesty love one, just last year I got a Firby and I think I was the happiest person alive. I think it’s absolutely amazing her daughter isn’t trying to grow up too fast.Everyone just wants phones or IPad for Christmas, but this precious girl seems to believe in more then high tech gadgets and wants to actually enjoy her childhood. Beautiful Parenting and beautiful daughter

[@aplacetonest]

Exactly! Everybody likes different things and she just thinks they're cute. I don't know why so many people are getting so upset that they think she's too old to like them. She isn't trying to grow up too fast and I love that about her! You're only a kid for a little while so why not enjoy it, right? I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comment!

[@peachygirl7614]

You r right

[@valeriatudela907]

Yup enjoy being a kid

[@madisonirene5870]

I am 14 and last year for Christmas I asked for a Simon toy and this year I didn’t really ask for any toys but I still will occasionally play with toys and think it is awesome that she is still into toys!

[@katemiller7874]

I’m 53. Still love toys. I just buy them for kids now.

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

I’m a single mom, and I️ live with my parents. I️ bought all my kids gifts, and my mom and dad helped me pick everything out. I️ think that what you got your 13-year-old is appropriate and cool.

[@aplacetonest]

+Monika That’s so fun that your parents helped you pick everything out! 😃I’m glad you like what we got her! Thanks so much for watching!

[@snowypaws8494]

Half of the comments are about people saying that they are younger than 13 and would hate to get the Hatchimal but this is for HER daughter not you or your daughter so just stop if you get annoyed by this then click off the video

[@trisam1307]

snowy paws849 ikr totally agree

[@ashleybailie8867]

Ha is it wrong to be jealous of a 13yr olds presents lol I would take the curling iron and lipglosses! x

[@aplacetonest]

haha you are too funny! I want those things, too!

[@aplacetonest]

You're never too old for lipgloss and pretty hair, right? :)

[@bigfattasses]

ashley bailie it depends on how old you are

[@officialgemsisters1279]

ashley bailie I

[@maggierose7511]

ashley bailie lol same but I am 13

[@5.1miles99]

It's interesting to see how people of the same age have such different interests! For example, I'm a thirteen year old and I'm more into makeup and clothes, but at the same time I know people who are into the complete opposite. People can't be rude just because they have different interests to your daughter! I think you're a great mom and anyone would be so great full for these things xx

[@aplacetonest]

She's into makeup and clothes, too but she also likes the occasional toy and I think that's the perfect mix! :) I appreciate your sweet comment so much!

[@chelseabeth903]

As a 14 yr old, I can confirm that these are some great gift ideas!! Love this video xx

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@melodyjane549]

You look like a good parent I’ve seen nine year olds getting makeup and iPhones Really think your gifts are a great set of gifts for a thirteen year old And I myself am turning 13

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! I think she will likes these things, too! I hope you have a great Christmas!

[@street.raccoon2968]

My cousin was like 6 AND SHE GOT AN IPHONE 7 I THINK IM LIKE WHAT sitting her sadly with my android but im going to ask for an iphone 8 for Christmas

[@ambermetcalf131]

Will everyone stop hating you don’t know this family this might be what there kids like ! Some kids don’t even get presents at Christmas and if I got these I would be perfectly happy now stop acting like spoilt brats and try to understand that some people are different !

[@Ava-wb2yd]

I'm 14 and I watched this for ideas for my friends. Love the purse and makeup, but $50 for a stuffed animal in a plastic container is crazy!

[@aplacetonest]

You're right, it is crazy but when you're a parent, you'll buy things that probably aren't worth it for your kids. :) I love buying them things that they really want. :)

[@aplacetonest]

Oh, by the way, that Ulta Lip Glossary is on sale for $9 right now if you're interested in giving that to your friends. :)

[@summervega2198]

It's not a stuffed animal it moves and it Is mechanical

[@maddi.jadeee]

mine was 80$ and it didnt work

[@valeriatudela907]

True it should be cheaper

[@orelsa82]

I would have been thrilled with these gifts at 13. You have great ideas!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@chelseacribb4547]

So I'm a 13 year old who is in a squshy, slime, and Nintendo Switch faze.. But I'm starting to get into makeup too..... So I hope I get some makeup and some squshys!

[@aplacetonest]

I hope you get some, too!

[@niamhk1544]

Wolfelta cribb *phase

[@helloitsholly6897]

oml same i love squishies and slime all i want for xmas is a new phone, slime ingredients, squishies, vouchers and makeup XD

[@panicattheladydoor8591]

Wolfelta cribb exactly me..

[@polskachoinka8147]

I'm 13 in january 16 and I love squishy 😁

[@rachelsamples6029]

What if your daughter sees this video?

[@aplacetonest]

They're not allowed on KZbin until after Christmas. lol

[@rachelsamples6029]

A Place to Nest oh ok that's good loved the video

[@elissa4506]

Rachel samples ikr

[@emmichristine7322]

I was wondering the exact same thing

[@chelseacribb4547]

Wait can't you just ban them from this video? KZbin is life!

[@elissa4506]

What if your 13 year old daughter sees this...that would be funny😂

[@myandmoreasmr1343]

Their no t aloud on youtube

[@margomaki9365]

Alyssa XD they are not allowed on KZbin till after Christmas

[@ashlynnsmith7018]

there not aloud but if I was at my friends house I’d use her phone to watch the video

[@Abby-wj5je]

I wasn’t allowed to a lot of things when I was 13 but I still did them

[@tomie6220]

Abby lol I'm not allowed to do a lot of things but I still do it and I'm 10 XD

[@emilybrennan1220]

I’m nearly 12 and I think your daughter will love these gifts because I do!❤️😅

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@oneheartmanyhats1097]

I would totally snag that waving iron from her too. A little tip is to make sure that it’s good and hot because you don’t want to wave the same section of hair over and over again. It doesn’t look nice and it’s hard to line up the iron in the exact the same spot. Great gift!

[@aplacetonest]

Great, thanks for the tip! :)

[@drawnastics5255]

I love this video so much cause I'm 13 and I still like some toys and also still like makeup. Ignore the haters because you know your daughter better then anyone in the whole world!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you loved it! Stay tuned for this year's gift videos the week before Thanksgiving!

[@carinacarroll1980]

Yes...My husband is the same as yours. He really just lets me do my own thing when it comes to buying gifts for the kids. He is usually just a surprised as the kids too. I do occasionally show him a few items I buy and might tell him what I plan to buy...if I want his imput. But I do the majority of the shopping.

[@aplacetonest]

My husband doesn't even ask so I don't really bring it up. I would really miss it if I didn't get to do the shopping so I'm glad my husband doesn't really like to. haha

[@kayleighjarrett9498]

My husband hates shopping so he just gives me the money to go shopping with .

[@daraholland4857]

Lol a 70 dollar hump of plastic lol. I know! I saw them in our Walmart and they were 69 dollars :( but...what do u do?! Lol. Crazy.

[@katara659]

you're right I love this videos of yours :) I'm 22 and don't have any kids, but I still love this videos lol And those books are adorable

[@aplacetonest]

I'm so glad you like these videos...consider them training for your future kids! lol

[@katara659]

+A Place to Nest Definitely, thanks for the lovely vids :)

[@meghanlovesanimals5896]

I know I'm late but these rude comments are really disheartening. Why would thirteen be too to play with a Hatchimal? I'm sure your daughter is a wonderful person who is very grateful for what she got. She is certainly better than the little brats who are judging someone they don't even know over the internet.

[@carrolclark8497]

They are amazing gifts Becky, I eh I'm 41 and I really want that journal, the stickers and the tabs. I am such a sucker for stationary. She will be so happy with all her gifts, can't wait to see her stocking stuffers! We don't have children but I pretty much buy every gift for everyone, even my husband's mum, but it suits me, I love buying gifts and putting thought into it. My husband buys me gifts and always picks well, but when it comes to everyone else, I get them.

[@aplacetonest]

I love stationary, too...and pens! I really enjoy buying presents, too!

[@southerngrace7895]

When my kids were small I did it all!! As they have gotten into upper teen years my husband has gotten more involved. Good job mom!

[@aplacetonest]

It's nice that your husband is involved now! I wonder why guys hate shopping so badly? :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@JustJaclyn]

Great Video! I'm thirteen as well, the only tree gifts that I would like this year is a turn board pro and some new clothes :)

[@Tutulovelyboutique]

I remember being 13 and thinking I was to cool for toys, telling everyone not to get me them etc even if I wanted them, now I'm 24 with 2 kids of my own and I think 90% of adults get a lot of toys because they want to play with them and now have a "excuse" to lol. I'm stoked to play legos, hot wheels and dolls with my kids this Christmas. You're never to old to like what you like. For the kids on here who want a toy but think they are to old. You're not. You never will be. Play with what you want to, life is extremely short and can be taken from you at any second and I promise the kids who have stuff to say secretly want toys too.

[@aplacetonest]

Very well said and I completely agree with you! : )

[@jillt1071]

Nice gifts ❤️ both of my kids are asking for a laptop this year so I'll be watching Black Friday specials. My husband and I both do a little shopping but mostly through Amazon if we can.

[@aplacetonest]

+Jill Tripp Thanks! That’s nice that your husband is involved, too! I hope you find those laptops at awesome prices! Thanks for watching!

[@syd1812]

My mom and dad together get me and my sister gifts. They usually don't go together, but they both know what the other person is getting and both get stuff for us. Our stocking and our tree gifts.

[@murphy1384]

We are an older, retired couple. His children get money, his choice. And I have no children. We live in a different stat than the children. NOW! The grandchild gets gifts, 12 days of Christmas, from me & money from grandpa (his one & only grandchild). That's how we do it.

[@aplacetonest]

Sounds like fun!

[@kariquick5148]

My girls are almost 7 and 12 so these ideas will come in handy! In our family I definitely pick out most of the gifts but my husband occasionally will pick things out for our two boys. Always very helpful Becky! :)

[@aplacetonest]

I'm glad you found some gift ideas! Finding good gifts can be so hard, can't it? It sounds like you and your husband have a good system going. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ariettahallock3554]

These are great gift ideas, especially the curling iron! I'm around her age and I'm sure she will love them, thanks for the nice video

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!

[@madelynnwells6913]

I’m 13 and I personally wouldn’t like some of the things but I know plenty of people my age who would love everything that you got your daughter! I honestly don’t understand all of the hate on what you got YOUR daughter if she likes what she got why does it matter if they don’t like it or not? Why are people so immature?! Anyways I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas and they love their gifts!!

[@caseyjones1548]

I think your daughter will love the crimper, i have the same one. It's easy to use and creates nice sized waves.

[@aplacetonest]

I'm glad to hear that it works well! :)

[@heatherarnold8360]

We have our 9 year old a Hatchanimal too.. she's gonna be super happy.

[@dairamunoz3772]

I loved the gifts, I'm sure your daughter is gonna love it as well. ❤️ I am 12 almost 13

[@aplacetonest]

+Daira Munoz Thank you very much!

[@jessicablanc5748]

I think your gifts are always great. You have some great ideas and you have also made me a Klutz addict as well. :) Getting my girls a few Klutz items this year. I usually pick out the gifts for our girls because I love looking for deals and shopping. He usually sits down with me and we order them together. We also go shopping in the store for stocking stuffers together.

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks! It sounds like you guys have a nice mix of him being involved and not involved. :)

[@lucyryle6981]

u seem like the right kind of parent! you don't spend a ridiculous amount on your children but the right amount. reading through the comments you don't want your daughter to have the newest technology, that's good. so many parents spoil their children so the children expect everything. good on you! your like my mum is (I'm 12 by the way) and she buys me a decent amount but you know not soooo much. love this video (I'm English btw) xx

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I try to be the best parent I can for my girls. :) You sound like a very mature 12 year old!

[@RLennox]

Doesn't your daughter watch these videos? How do you make sure she won't see what she's getting?

[@aplacetonest]

They're not allowed on KZbin until after Christmas. :)

[@evavasko6013]

A Place to Nest I think with parental options on KZbin you can block certain stuff? Maybe you could do that until after Christmas

[@michellemitchh516]

A Place to Nest hahahah nice

[@eryndivine7058]

I love that you Put a limit on your gifts. I have 5 kids with birthdays nov 25, dec 15, feb 23, feb 25, and one on may 21. Christmas shopping along with birthdays make it super difficult for me. So many people buy their kids tons of stuff for christmas and u make me feel less guilty for putting a limit on my kids gifts when they have birthdays so close to christmas! Thank you for the video!

[@aplacetonest]

Yes, we do limit the gifts. I used to give them way more, especially when I only had one child, but I quickly learned that it was too much for them. They had no idea what they even got, there was no room for anything and it was just too overhwleming for them and for me. Plus, their bdays are right after Christmas so I have to save gift ideas for that. :) All of these people commenting that I don't give my kids enough is ridiculous. I'm not trying to raise greedy little misers but actually give them gifts they will remember and play with/use. With 5 kids, I'm sure you would have to limit the gifts or they would take over your whole house! lol Don't feel guilty for limiting what you get your kids! I've learned this week from the comments from kids on my gift guide videos that too many kids in this generation are a bunch of spoiled ungrateful brats and I'm not trying to raise any of those and I'm sure you aren't either. haha

[@rebeccaloftin725]

Nice gift ideas! When it comes to the big expensive gifts for the kids me and my husband go together but stocking things and smaller gifts I go ahead and get.

[@aplacetonest]

That sounds like a good system you have for shopping! Thanks for watching!

[@lexiejo8206]

I’m 13 and personally that’s not my style of things you got her but I’m sure she loved all of it! I trust you know her and what she wants and loves!

[@michellevillman9017]

Hi Becky, I think you always do a great job with your gift giving! I look forward to these videos. My daughter is 5 but I have older nieces that I try to shop for so I love your inspiration & ideas. I like that you balance them both with the same amount (I do this too) and vary them with crafts, educational and toys or jewelry. Now if only you had boys too! 😂 It shows your love and the joy you get by how much time and effort you put into your gift giving. 👍

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! You might find some gift ideas for you 5 year old in tomorrow's video. I'll be sharing what we got our 7 year old on Wednesday and Thursday. :) I wish I could help you with your boys but boys baffle me. lol

[@christinavela1145]

Thanks for the suggestions! I usually do the shopping. Amazon is the way to go for me! 😀

[@aplacetonest]

Amazon is great! Even if I don't always purchase the gifts there, I like to look around for ideas and then find the best prices for them.

[@RR-cv6jl]

My sister is that age and she likes to pretend that she’d hate this stuff but secretly she’d be praying for a hatchimal😂

[@sofiax888]

Ignore the hate mlove I'm 14 and I promise we aren't all this rude!! I loved this video even though I'm more into makeup and things but I still am asking for a doll along with a iPhone 8 Chanel perfume, highend makeup etc, and there's nothing wrong with it!! Loved this video xxx

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much for your sweet and supportive comment! It sounds like you enjoy the perfect mix of toys and "grown up" things. That's exactly how my 13 year old is, too!

[@evemoloney3005]

iPhone 8 and Chanel perfumes???? Holy crap that’s a lot of money 😂

[@sofiax888]

A Place to Nest omg thankyou for replying!! And yes I love to still have a few nostalgic bits and bobs within the mix, I hope she enjoys the presents you bought her I know I would!! Xxx

[@sofiax888]

EJJ M my mums a bit Christmas crazy aha, she saves all year and my nan puts in money along with my dad and stepdad, she doesn't spoil me and my siblings all year round just at Christmas time and I'm very grateful for it all!!! Xxxxx

[@notused1559]

Thats so sweet! What doll are you getting? Xx

[@lilnicki005]

Great job! My girls are 8&10 and I'm a bonus mom of a 12yr old girl. My boys and bonus sons are pretty easy to shop for, but you've given me some great ideas for the girls❤ thanks again for sharing!!👍👍

[@aplacetonest]

I'm so glad the video was helpful! :)

[@emmalitwinczuk]

Love those lip glosses! Have gotten some from that brand in the past, they really are great!

[@amandasmith5178]

These videos are so helpful!! My oldest is 10 and I am struggling to come up with gift ideas this year! Thanks for sharing! 💜

[@aplacetonest]

I'm so glad it was helpful! My 7 year old's gift will be up tomorrow. :)

[@Kylie-vv3wx]

Same with the dad thing! I'm the only child and a daughter and my dad sometimes has no clue 😂 This year the plan is he transfers some cash on my debit card and I do all the shopping on Black Friday for him 😂

[@aplacetonest]

That sounds like a good plan! Dads are definitely clueless sometimes! :)

[@michellekellar2568]

It's just awful how MEAN some people are ---- I'm sorry for what you go through especially during the holidays. I think they are all delightful FUN gifts & you are a cool Mom for listening & remembering what they want & like. I am the sole purchaser of all the gifts my grown daughters/husbands and granddaughters (4 of them) get for the tree and stockings. I keep it equal number of gifts for the granddaughters and do it monetarily for my grown daughters and their husbands. TFS

[@aplacetonest]

It's hard to keep the gifts even sometimes, isn't it? :) I appreciate your kind comment! :)

[@agstardust9944]

Love the whole No Electronics thing! I’m thirteen and my parents hand down their phones to me and my 14 month younger brother when they get new ones. I am asking for a computer this year but mainly want it for writing/music purposes as I am A writer/singer/songwriter. I will also use it for school! I have wanted my own computer for SO long and am positive I will cherish it forever. I love all of the gifts you got your girl and am sure she loves them. 😁

[@aplacetonest]

That's awesome that you write your own songs! I hope you have a great Christmas!

[@jazzy3032]

Stop hating people this is what she wants im 13 and would love this stuff so just leave her alone

[@LindsayPuggleGirl]

“This is a 70 dollar hunk of plastic” hahaha. I’m 13 and personally not into toys anymore but everyone moves into new phases at different times :)

[@aplacetonest]

+Lindsay haha Really though, they are so overpriced! lol She isn’t too much into toys either but she thinks they’re cute and likes hatching them and being surprised with what’s inside.

[@stacicrow7895]

Love the gifts you got. Im the shopper and i will sometimes show my husband before i wrap but hes bad about letting the stuff slip.... tfs

[@aplacetonest]

haha That's funny that your husband is the one who lets secrets slip. :

[@TheLearningLadder]

Great gifts. I would love some of those myself lol. I am the gift buyer. My husband is like yours and surprised too when she opens them.

[@aplacetonest]

+The Learning Ladder Isn’t that lip gloss set pretty? I would’ve loved that when I was a teen...and still would! Lol Husbands are funny creatures aren’t they? I wouldn’t be able to stand not knowing what my spouse got our kids for Christmas!

[@TheLearningLadder]

A Place to Nest It is so pretty. I would love it now lol. My husband just is not a gift man lol. I have to strongly suggest items otherwise I get glasses cases lol.

[@aplacetonest]

haha glasses cases?! My husband was going to get me a safe one year. His thought behind is was nice but what woman wants a safe for a gift? lol

[@TheLearningLadder]

A Place to Nest oh wow. They sound like two people you don't want to shop together. Lol. I can only imagine what they would bring home.

[@janaleola9663]

My husband is just as surprised as the kids are lol

[@aplacetonest]

haha It's true! ;)

[@living_life_randamyly]

I am the main shopper but I show my husband what she is getting. He grunts and goes off to kill something and bring it home. 😂😂 Just kidding! He lets me handle it and he will go out and pick something just from him. This year is different as she is 11 and does not like toys at all.

[@aplacetonest]

It's hard when they don't want toys anymore . What does she like?

[@living_life_randamyly]

A Place to Nest Ah...the million dollar question. Drawing and sketching stuff but she is picky in that too. We are thinking a phone and a keyboard, but we are going to Universal right after Christmas so that is her present too.

[@aplacetonest]

My daughter loves getting new sketch pads, markers, pencils, etc. Is your daughter into Harry Potter? They have lots of adult Harry Potter coloring and art books if she would like that.

[@living_life_randamyly]

A Place to Nest Not so much. She likes to draw free hand. She doesn't like to color unless it is her own drawing. We did get her PrismaColor pencils as they are the best. Also sketch pads and a shapener. We found a used keyboard that was a steal for $140 including the stand, headphones and foot pedal.

[@hi-zq6zu]

For everyone commenting something snarky like, 'I am 14 and 13 is too old for toys' please remember that you only have around 14 years of childhood. In these 14 years you can make the choice whether you want to act your age or not. If you make the choice not to act your age, keep it to yourself and don't bring other children down. I am 11 years old and honestly you seem like a lovely mother and your daughter seems super mature!! Thank you for sharing these brilliant ideas. Have a nice day! :)

[@aplacetonest]

You are very sweet and sound very mature! Thanks so much for your nice comment!

[@hi-zq6zu]

A Place to Nest No problem! I know I am very late but I guess I was a little annoyed at all the people in the comments haha.

[@peanutthenut1920]

didi xoxo I still acted and wanted to play with toys at my age even in high school I would want to but didn’t since “it was weird”

[@quinndancer1437]

I use the same hair waver! I love it, my hair is naturally wavy but when I shower before bed my hair gets a bit messy and looses the wave in some pieces and parts so it just makes everything look best!

[@aplacetonest]

I'm glad it works well for you; I hope it does for us! :)

[@EricaJoy005]

I am the main shopper and wrapper in the family! haha my husband will get the one gift he really wants to gift me and wrap that gift but aside from that I'm in charge of gifting. I think this year I did really well in holding off on too many gifts for the kids because I can go crazy. I picked up a Hatchimal for my 3 year old too just for his obsession with eggs so that is the one gift I'm excited to see him open on Christmas.

[@aplacetonest]

Hatchimals are so weird, aren't they? I don't even think they're cute but I know the girls will be excited. It is hard to control ourselves though, isn't it? I want to buy them everything but luckily their birthdays are not long after Christmas so I keep telling myself that when I want to get them everything for Christmas. :)

[@contarabueckert7276]

We have 2 boys so I get my husband to help pick out "cool" toys, I like shopping with him anyways too :-) those gifts seem great!

[@aplacetonest]

That's nice that you shop together; I bet that's fun!

[@TheJoyarmstrong1]

I always anticipate your gift videos! You do such a great job. I've gotten better about shopping deals throughout the year thanks to you!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much Joy! I hope you got some good gift ideas this year! :)

[@princebravewolfxaj]

I’m 12& the makeup and purse is amazing xx

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks! I think she will like them!

[@puppcakez7654]

I’m 12, I still play with littlest pet shop. Mostly to collect and just having them makes me happy. My little sister usually gets most the toys but me and her play together and I enjoy it. But not so much anymore, and sometimes I watch CookieSwirlC.

[@MrsLauraHalloween]

My husband hasn't a clue what I buy so he only sees it on birthdays and Christmas Day! My daughter don't do toys unfortunately which is annoying. I'm hoping I can find the curlers and planner here in uk. Laura

[@aplacetonest]

I'm sure you can find the planner and curling iron on Amazon. I hope you can find them!

[@knifegrl]

I'm 12 and we aren't all rude!! People should be allowed to like what they like. The people bothering to comment on what gifts you got her are wasting their time. You didn't ask for their opinion. hope she has a lovely Christmas and enjoys everything ;)

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much! :)

[@kristinawaxler115]

Love these gift ideas so nice not to see so many electronic gifts, all of these gifts look so special and gifts that will be appreciated for a long time and not just discarded in a few hours lol xx

[@aplacetonest]

+kristina waxler Thanks! That’s what I’m always going for...as few electronics as possible and things that they will use for weeks, months or even years to come! Thanks for watching!

[@KarlyA.]

Aww! It all looks like fun! Great ideas 😄 Thanks!

[@KarlyA.]

And I’m so jealous that you’re already finished with your shopping for your kids!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! I try to shop all year round so I don't have a bunch of shopping to do around the holidays. :)

[@firedoggy4684]

You are such a good gift giver, i don't understand why people are saying that i hate these gifts. She likes these things and if you don't like them then thats tour problem. Quote of the day, "don't feel like you have to grow up so fast" Love your videos.😁😁😁☺☺☺🎅🤶🌲

[@aplacetonest]

I love that! So many kids are trying to grow up so fast, or pretend to be grown up, because they think people will think they're babies! If you like a toy, big deal! It shouldn't matter if your 7 or 70. If it's not hurting anyone else, it shouldn't matter what you like. I'm so glad you like my videos and I appreciate your sweet comment!

[@emilygjen6496]

I love how all the gifts have meaning!

[@aplacetonest]

That's very sweet of you to notice and appreciate! :)

[@unicorn-ek4pf]

Those are great gifts for your girls you clearly know what they like and will enjoy :)

[@emmamae1476]

Why is everyone saying "I'm 13 and don't like these" well maybe her daughter will! Just because you don't like it does not mean she would not.

[@aplacetonest]

+Animal Lovers. THANK YOU! This happens in every gift-giving video and it’s so annoying. Their comments are so childish, rude and ungrateful and it makes me worry that so many kids are that inconsiderate of others and that greedy and selfish. I appreciate your kind and supportive comment!

[@janaminar0551]

I am 13 in January and i still collect dolls because why throw them away and of someone is being horrible then thats being jealous .

[@sofiamaine4813]

[@itssssandraa]

I do all the gift shopping. Dad just says cool 😂

[@missmrice91]

[@danielleantony9971]

Miss m Rife mine neither haha

[@nicolehamerski73]

That's definitely my family!

[@chelseacribb4547]

Miss m Rife majority of.the time my mom doesnt know what I'm getting

[@chelseacribb4547]

I got tickets to go to a luke.bryan concert and my.mom had 0 clue

[@lindseyrichardson4696]

I think you did a great job! I'm working on my kiddos Christmas gift lists right now. I tend to go horribly overboard with Christmas because it's my favorite time of year! I'm trying really hard to pair down this year =) Birthday's aren't as big of a deal for us though, we do a birthday dinner and activity and usually just one gift so Christmas is our big time! I almost feel the same way about my 6 year old son, he's not as interested in the Paw Patrol and Mickey Mouse cartoons anymore and is getting a science kit, chapter books and a robotic toy. It's so sad when you start transitioning from the "little kid" gifts!

[@aplacetonest]

We have paired down a lot over the years, too. They were just getting so much that they couldn't remember what they had and certainly couldn't play with all of it. It is hard to control ourselves though, isn't it? lol

[@ang-qc8lr]

My birthday is December 27th and it gets super stressful because we only have one day in between ‘events’

[@sanghitabhattacharya7616]

my birthday is also in 27th December

[@couponmom05]

I love this I got some great ideas from this. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. Keep up the good work

[@aplacetonest]

You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@directionerforever1291]

İ want klutz best year ever planner for my 13th birthday❤️❤️❤️❤️I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

[@abigailwalker5249]

I am the main shopper/gift giver. Whenever I get tired of buying my own, I pick someone from either side of the family and let them shop for ME and give it to my husband wrapped and ready to go.

[@ladycricket7325]

Thank you so much for the amazing ideas for girls gifts! I think this is a difficult age. You like makeup and clothes but there is still a part of you that loves toys. I still love toys and don't have any hopes of getting over it now. As for the makeup, what better place can someone learn to use makeup the right way than with their Mother. I was in school with girls that would sneak it to school because their mother wouldn't let them wear it and it was not pretty. Some of the comments have been harsh. Not enough gifts, the gifts are too young, the gifts are too old, makeup for a 13 year old and the most ridiculous is that you're a bad Mom because you only get them 7 tree presents and 9 stocking stuffers. I had one of the greatest Moms in the world and we got one gift. Most of the time it was handmade. Maybe a nightgown or Barbie furniture that she made from cocoa boxes, shoe boxes and clothes pins. They were beautiful. And all the love that went into them still brings tears to my eyes. Christmas isn't measured by the number of gifts no matter how many or how few but the love that goes into each one. I feel sorry for those that have to have expensive presents in abundance before they can be happy. There is a spirit of Christmas that doesn't come in a present. I appreciate so much the time you take to share your ideas to make shopping easier for us. Please know that the crude comments from a few does not reflect the feelings of the majority of us. You can tell you are a great Mom.

[@aplacetonest]

It is a difficult age but a very fun one, too! I love that she still loves toys but also likes makeup and nail polish. She is the best of both worlds and a lot of the negative comments I've gotten are from girls who probably think you have to act a certain way, just because of your age, and that's very sad. If you like something, you like it, and it shouldn't matter if you're 13 or 30! I would much rather have my daughter like toys AND makeup than be glued to a phone and not be able to carry on a conversation. Christmas is most definitely NOT measured by the amount of gifts that people get and for those that think it is, perhaps they shouldn't get any and maybe then they would be forced to find happiness on Christmas that doesn't come from a gift! I'm just glad that my girls are thankful and appreciative for their gifts, whatever they are and however many there are, and that they don't feel the way that a lot of these people who have commented so rudely do. Your mother went to a lot of effort to make you those gifts and even though there weren't many, you remember them. I wonder how many of the kids who left ungrateful and hateful comments can actually remember gifts they got for longer than few weeks or months....probably not many! I have an amazing mother who taught me to be thankful and generous and I hope to pass that on to my girls! Thank you so much for your sweet and thoughtful comment! :)

[@karbear26]

I buy most of my daughters presents. My husband will occasionally buy her things too. I like to buy presents year round when I find good deals and just put them away.

[@aplacetonest]

I buy all year round, too! It saves money and stress at the holidays!

[@maggiewinter2349]

Have a 13 year old girl as well. Me and my spouse each get her a few things from each of us. And then 1 gift from both of us. Also each tell the other what things we picked out. From time to time give my spouse ideas,because he doesn’t know how to shop for a 13 year old girl lol. Wwas easier for him in past years when all she wanted were toys toys and more toys.

[@aplacetonest]

I like that you both get her things. I'm sure that's very special for your daughter. :)

[@julianaspatz2969]

It’s nice to know that you put a limit on your kids lots of parents give them all this makeup at 10 or 11 which is so unnecessary in my opinion. I wish we had more parents like you in this world because you buy them the things they want but at the same time don’t get them to much ❤️

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@teresapayne6190]

I’m 14 almost 15 and I like toys lol I’m still like a child 😂

[@aplacetonest]

That's the way it should be! :)

[@tammykirk1730]

Great

[@phoebewhite456]

I may be a 14 year old, but I adore your videos!! ♡ and I’d just like to say that who cares if her daughter wants a toy? it doesn’t matter how old, if that’s what she asked for then so be it

[@aplacetonest]

+miss phoebe Thank you so much! I completely agree with you! If she likes it and is appreciative, that’s all that matters. ❤️

[@shannonfisher3654]

How exciting...I wait all year for these posts :P Cannot wait for your younger daughters gifts...as my daughter is the same age ...it really helps me. I only wish you had a 17 yr old son too...he is sooo hard to shop for. We are thinking of gift cards this year for him....do you think that is too cold or not thought out??

[@aplacetonest]

So glad you're looking forward to my youngest's gifts! I'm not a fan of gift cards but I know a lot of teenage boys are. Maybe get him a mix of gift cards and actual gifts?

[@literoylty]

Shake IT off💕your daughters are lucky💕

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks! :)

[@Ellmayxoxo]

[@isabelyrungaray9956]

I love three kings day, I know that sounds weird but a few years ago my dad started giving us gifts! My mom never does that but I love how my dad is so into it. My sister got a phone last year!!!! We still do Christmas and that is my moms thing! My dad never know what I got for Christmas. My dad didn't even tell my mom she was getting an IPhone 7! It was so exciting!!!😀

[@aplacetonest]

Wow, that is exciting! I hope you have a great Christmas!

[@OurDaysTogether]

Sorry you have to deal with rude comments. Love the planner!!

[@aplacetonest]

It's part of KZbin, and life I suppose, but it's still annoying! lol
