I Bought Every Christmas GIFT IDEA off TIKTOK/INSTAGRAM: what's ACTUALLY worth buying?

[@lacytaylor1501]

As a fan of alcohol markers Rach, I'll tell you this, you being shocked at the price of Ohuhu markers is kind of amusing because they are actually a cheaper alternative to the coveted Copic markers.

[@mrscb5303]

I came to say much the same thing. It was funny hearing her say they were expensive…. Are we jaded ???😂😂😂

[@AnkaaraEnor]

They are a great deal!

[@amandaterrio4823]

Art supplies in general are so expensive

[@carolinec5010]

Copic prices are insane! I paint and one tube will get me literal years so I'm always shocked at the price.

[@trishf5]

And another thing :). You really need to use alcohol markers on non-porous paper or card stock - as in, glossy. You won’t get anywhere near the beauty of those babies on a regular “flat” or matte paper.

[@katyaochoa]

Ohuhu is actually very affordable compared to other brands like copic. Also the set comes with a silicone pad for you to put under the paper so it won't bleed on to the next page. I love alcohol markers so much. They blend well with Prismacolor colored pencils.

[@DeathByBlonde1]

Back in my “I’m a bored SAHM” days, I got back into drawing and coloring. I was a really good artist when I was younger and won some competitions, so I went and got all the Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils I could find. I absolutely love them. I have several pieces I did hanging in my house. They still look amazing and I am super proud of myself. Now that my kid is a teenager and I work full time, I don’t have much time for drawing anymore, but I still love it.

[@mimispapercrafting]

When you use alcohol markers for coloring you usually use 3 shades of one color thats why the big packs have so many markers. It makes what you color look so good. And as others said these are the affordable option.

[@hannerhead]

Not me running to the comments to tell rachel she needs to use the ohuhu markers on marker paper, other wise itll bleed through. Only to keep watching and see she addressed that very concern 😂 They are definitely the cheaper alternative in the grand scheme of alcohol markers and are definitely targeted towards artists not the casual colorer. However, i think youve mentioned one or two of your kids are more artistically inclined. Id highly recommend getting them a marker sketch book and letting them play with them! Markers are a lot of fun and you can create such beautiful pieces of art with them ❤

[@katw6757]

She also missed the plastic page protector to put under paper in case the markers do bleed through. It's a very different vibe than watching the art KZbinrs 😅

[@vonkatheviking]

Thank you Rachel for always picking blue, I'm red/green colour blind and your videos are my favourite, thank you for thinking of us who are lacking in the vision department, I appreciate you so much for your reviews and your honesty. ✌️ 💛💙 🇨🇦

[@Greeneggsnblam]

The Ohuhu markers also come with a piece of plastic paper to protect page bleeding

[@carolinec5010]

When you were like "let me tell you these markers are expensive" I instantly knew you'd be talking about Ohuhu. I'm a painter so I've never bought any, but I've seen them in art stores and seen artsy friends with sets of HUNDREDS and immediately started calculating in my mind if it's worth more than a month's rent.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

And Ohuhu is the cheap knock-off of Copic markers! 😩

[@Crazee108]

And they're the cheaper brand 😂

[@ashlovesbats]

Seeing you talk about ohuhu markers is crazy they are such a good option over copic markers that are so expensive ohuhu are so cheap actually

[@mauranoonan8951]

Yes! My daughter used the expensive markers for drawing and I only bought them on sale. 😅

[@jleighwolfe]

Lol yup. Theyre not meant for casual coloring, and def not kids lol

[@kholder88]

Lol I thought the same thing! They are pretty inexpensive for alcohol markers

[@Hazelhopes]

As a new KZbinr I love that you also need tall, long legged and long sleeve items, and that when you show the whole outfit, I know you have mentioned it before the difficulty in showing your whole self from top to bottom on screen and it is reassuring that me being 6 foot tall I’m in good company 😊

[@leeny17]

As an Australian, I laughed out loud at the big catcher and your comment… I was genuinely listening to you talk about catching the spiders in your basement and thought about how you’d go catching a huntsman.. then you said that comment 🤣

[@stephaniebrockman3921]

Yuh, a huntsman would not make it through the nozzle 😂😂😂

[@ataurus2at]

Lol Rachel "Which color do I choose first?" Me: We all know you're choosing blue 💙 😁

[@legendarycartooonz]

I was literally thinking that she would pick blue 😂

[@MichaelaMahar]

The little soft plastic bit thats wrapped around the markers in the bag is actually to put behind the page so it doesn't bleed through to more pages. The colouring book isnt printed on the back sides of the pages so that you can use alcohol markers! Alcohol markers are definitely more of an artist item than a "childrens" item. They're an affordable option for people to get into the medium and it's definitely worth saving up to buy the big pack so you get all the colours and you're not paying for duplicates. Not a gift to give to the typical kid but more of a level up item for teens or adults that really enjoy colouring or making art.

[@clappesfam]

We use those makers in fashion design drawing classes. They’re beautiful to work with. We had to buy special marker paper for our finished products

[@MM-bd3vr]

I bought my then 8 year old daughter the 72ct of those makers, they were of course on some flash sale, but just a heads up for parents these can have a strong smell. My daughter ended up with a slight headache after using them, she's almost 12 now and opens a window while using them. If you do forget to use the provided silicone mat most bleed through can be cleaned up with rubbing alcohol if the surface is safe for that. They are nice markers for the price!

[@emmaphillips5408]

As an Australian i really would appreciate a bigger version of this thanku thanku 🙏😅

[@angie4666]

I love how Gap has tall sizes. Im not by any means tall, 5'6", but I have a long torso and long arms so I like to buy their tops in tall.

[@karenharper4318]

You always look great in all the colors you wear, but that pink is everything!

[@MaryEllington-q6m]

My friend once tried on some perfume that I couldn't smell. Years later I picked up a bottle and smelled it in a store. It smelled just like her.

[@IzzyBee_Crafts]

4:33 when using the colourless blender, you acutely don't want to use it for blanding colours together. Its more for lift/erasing colours. For blending colours together you want to use the colour you're wanting to blend and switch back and forth between them. If that makes any sense. When using the markers on the colouring book, you can use a peice of paper behind the colouring page so the markers don't bleed on to other pages. Ohuhu also give a silicone matt to prevent the markers from bleeding on to other pages. These markers are also cheap compared to Copic, which are $8 CAD per marker. Copics are professional grade, but ohuhus are still really good. I use both and they work well together. I would recommend watching some video from artist and how to use Ohuhu markers, thats what I did when I first got them. ❤ Have fun making some nice colouring pages!

[@georgeannems14]

I color in that same Fuzzy Hygge book with my Ohuhu alcohol markers 😊 you just have to put cardstock or a couple sheets of regular paper in between the pages to catch the bleed-through. I have watched a lot of TikTok videos to learn how to use the markers! Definitely a learning curve but worth it for the payoff.

[@thischickjulia]

Any update on the Ordinary lip balm? I didn’t see anything in the description, but maybe I’m totally missing it.

[@donnaburnerslone]

I just looked & it's in there.

[@MckenzieWinkel]

I feel like she never actually puts updates in the description.

[@Jenroloff]

Your channel is fitness, focus, and life. I watch you because you are fun ADD. I love your challenges and pushing yourself to try new things. Although I do a lot I don't push myself like you do. So I live vicariously through you. 😊❤

[@BrookeAva]

those are rendering markers! we use them in my interior design classes, and yes, they work better and are more buildable on marker paper! we use them for floor plans and different perspective drawings

[@cheyennehall2018]

Almost $200 for a sweat set is INSANE. 😳 Too bad because it looks so cute and comfortable.

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

And she said the twenty five dollar markers were expensive. LOL

[@cherylschier8974]

Comfrt is having a sale right now.

[@GRP-Chi80]

I was so excited to order the Gap set. Then I saw it's separates, not a set. Then I saw the price tag of $80 each!! 😮 No bueno. Looks amazing, as it should be for $160 pajama/lounge set. That's ridiculously pricey.

[@SuzyTurner]

That bug vacuum is genius!!!

[@chaos_kitt3n.mayhem]

Its a good day when rach posts

[@ErinChamberlain-r3x]

Thursdays and Saturdays are so much better!!!! I love how you do gifts for all ages Rachel! A little mix of everything! So fun!

[@ErinChamberlain-r3x]

Oh!! Great job on the gift guide!!! Oh this is fun!!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Finding a coloring book for alcohol markers is next to impossible as they need special paper to work well.

[@heidie8760]

I got these to try as a replacement to the Copics I have used up. They are a less expensive alternative, but they do not blend nicely. Well, I can't get them to blend nicely anyway. They are also much more saturated colorwise. I use them for making cards, and heavier cardstock does let them bleed through a bit less.

[@tinaraulerson7510]

I'd like to see a review of the Yoto Players. My niece is planning on buying one for her daughter, but before I invest, I'd like to know if they are any good

[@blystonethree]

Will it work for the folks in Australia? No no it won't. LOL!😂😂😂 Love it!

[@barbaralinares8681]

The grey set is amazing on you. Take it! ❤

[@KimberlyStearns]

I like the water bottle because..... I like the shape. That seems obvious.

[@tinat232]

Purchased the diamond cleaner pen and some gear from comfort as gifts (previous video). Did not disappoint!

[@edithmejia6138]

I have a similar book and the markers. When using alcohol markers on those books you can put a blank paper in between sheets and prevent bleed through to the next page. The page adjacent to the test page in the coloring book mentions this as well. The Ohuhu markers come with a silicone sheet you can use for that purpose.

[@ROSSIGRL584]

I used to have a set of soma pjs in a pink and white stripe that those aerie ones reminded me of. They were specifically made for women who sleep hot. Those were the best set of pjs.

[@randompizza220]

I've literally been looking at that series of coloring books. They have all sorts of themes.

[@ShelbyMeyerhoffer]

The KAYALI vanilla perfume holds a special place in my heart because it was my wedding scent, but I chose it because it wasn’t too overpowering or sickeningly sweet… but also paired with Maison Margiela Replica “by the fireplace” is just 👩🏻‍🍳 💋 🤌🏼

[@ourabouras]

So like a lot of people have said Ohuhu markers are actually quite affordable compared to the top of the line Copics. Alcohol markers are notorious for bleeding through paper as opposed to the water-based markers you are more used to. The major difference being that water-based markers don’t layer well, they tear up paper and don’t blend well if you do multiple layers. Alcohol-based markers are excellent at blending but you do need to learn how to use them (mostly you’re going back and forth with two markers multiple times to achieve a soft gradient). Also the plastic sheet included in the bag should be placed under whatever you are coloring on to keep the ink from bleeding onto the next page, unless you buy Ohuhu’s bleed proof sketchbook, which is super affordable.

[@JulieNick28]

We match! I have the same set from Gap. Wore it for thanksgiving and it was perfect! The pants do run big.

[@jenniferfernandez8764]

Grey set is so freakin cute! Tall girl ordering now!

[@MsJennums]

Girl use the plastic sheet the markers come with behind the page you're coloring. I have both the markers and the same book. It's good for simple adult coloring when used correctly

[@BookishBudgeter]

When you started talking about the bug sucker I was totally expecting an Australian size spider (I’m Australian) and genuinely thought it was empty for a second 😂

[@Kogobean]

oh Ohuhu markers! those are the cheaper alternative to Copic markers, they're alcohol based so it's easy to blend/mix or should be. the way you 'blend' them is you use the same colour but in different shades. so if you use blue you use the different shades of blues, takes getting used to and some trial and error. also i wonder if that little bug vacuum would work on bigger spiders cause we get a lot of wolf spiders during the summer time here and i hate them, usually kill them but if i could use that i could set them free outside.

[@donnalipke998]

You should check out the Artic Cool clothing line, they have great polo type shirts that wick moisture away from your body. I love them since I live in central TX and keeping dry in the summer heat can be difficult.

[@soragirl9]

9:15 I think XS would be too short on the top for loungy / comfort clothes for me 😂 maybe try a S on the pants if you feel that they're falling off, but the M looks great on you 💟

[@tiaramarie3702]

I NEED a video of your favorite matching sets. I'm looking for the perfect one and I trust your expert opinion

[@coffeegirl18]

I have a Spectrum alcohol marker set in pastels and I was like constantly watching for them at Homesense when one of my artsy friends told me they occasionally have them. The colour tones don't match the lids but I use them for art and partially for work. I did have to draw about five minutes of how to shoot; light a scene plus which angle to film at and the type of camera that would work best."

[@micahwilliams4147]

My son had one of those bug suckers when he was lil. He loved it too lol

[@vgraper1]

I love the sweat sets you always share but I’m so envious of those who can where them. I live in south Florida and our cold fronts don’t last long enough 😂 love you and your content ❤

[@kellymcgowan2745]

SO EARLY!! I’m so stressed about gift getting this year so thank you sooo much for these!! ❤

[@klaudiedufort2052]

Hi Rachel the Ohuhu marker are fantastic it allow you to take two color and by passing on top of each other ther create a new color and a seem less transition cause they don’t dry as fast a water based color and they don’t destroy the paper. Also you will not see every stroke that the watter based leave as you color. But the down side is that they bleed on the other page always protect you surface . The regular papier is usually not great cause they soak to muck and it make over the line. Ohuhu made a peper that does not bleed grew but it is expensive. The great thing is when you draw it also allow you to make shadow with different shade of the same color and the drawing get way better . Have fun with your Ohuhu. Love your content by the way you and Chris are wonderful.

[@amybreeding2799]

I have bought So Many of those coloring books. Coco Wye brand is our fave! I have been dying to try the Ohuhu markers forever but also balked at the price!!

[@meganalyse2013]

[@beckyhenzel541]

You should get the marker paper that go with the markers. They won’t bleed though it

There are a ton of KZbin videos on using alcohol markers. I first saw how to use them on the Crafters Companion channel in one of their Colour Me Happy shows.

can you review alloy apparel please? it’s a brand that specializes in tall clothing and i’d love to know if it’s any good (i’m 6 ft tall)

[@Hazheelh]

For the markers, use the plastic sheet in the bag to avoid the ink going through other pages :)

[@Danielle-tz9go]

The vanilla coco Kayali perfume is way nicer than the simple vanilla, I also love the cherry and maui one x

[@carolynsteele9929]

To blend, put 2 colors kind of close together in color - like yellow and orange for a fire - and use the blender where the colors meet to make the colors become a gradient. Alcohol markers take a LOT of practice and often special paper.
