Last minute gifts that your friends ACTUALLY WANT.

[@arrianachavez5011]

Something I learned this year was to stop trying to gift something that fills a hole in their life, but rather an exquisite version of something they use all the time. It's helped me sooo sooo much and will probably help a lot of other people, too.

[@JB_Eckl]

I am proof of how awesome your channel is. Do I care about interior design? NOPE. Do our lifestyles overlap? DOUBTFUL! If you have a target demo, I’m not in it. But when I saw you had a new video out I was like YEAH, CAROLINE IN THE HOUUUUUSE

[@Caroline_Winkler]

how dare you with this 🥲if you're an anomaly here, so be it. you just made my day

[@kellyhowatt2908]

She is amazing!

[@JB_Eckl]

@@Caroline_Winkler It’s your comfort being yourself. I recently started out on KZbin (music stuff) and I’ve been dying to get into more personal stories, vlogging etc. Your channel is a huge source of inspiration and encouragement. It’s just so damn good.

100% a gift!! I look forward to each upload and your advice is golden. :)

[@E42545]

The letter mention made me cry- I’ve done this for so many people over the years and only ever gotten two and each time it was one of the most impactful moments of my life and definitely the best gifts I’ve ever received. We underestimate how special this can be to people, especially in a time of year that’s so fcking hard for many 💛

[@Caroline_Winkler]

Exactly this ❤️ we never know what’s going on in someone else’s head or heart. Its wildly touching to get a small peek

[@E42545]

@@Caroline_Winkleras always you’re the master of combining thoughtfulness and humor and style- 11/10 would write you a letter about it 😂💝

[@drebugsita]

A friend gave me a letter once, around 8 years ago. No special occasion, but it was a hard time for me even several years after my dad passed. It was something he simply decided to give to people that he really valued. Absolutely nothing fancy about it, he used black paper to make the envelope and some random paper for the letter. No special lettering. But it was heartfelt. Not long or particularly poetic. To this day it is one of the gifts that has meant the most to me. Just thinking of it is comforting

[@lexip396able]

I like to gift my mom pedicures or facials from me. She works late and usually can't get to the nail shop, so for her birthday and stuff I'll do that and she actually says I do a better job than her nail tech! I also have detailed her car, organized her office and prepared her meals for dinner for a week, all as Christmas gifts.

[@skiyogagirl]

Amazing & very thoughtful!!! In occasion my daughter will pop into my house & she’ll do the dishes…I am always blown away…like how did she know that doing that chore for me would mean so much to me??? 💛

[@lexip396able]

@@skiyogagirl I love that your daughter blesses you that way! Honestly for what you parents give us children, it's such a small thing. And also, my mom is kind of hard to shop for LOL if she wants something she'll just go out and buy it so I love providing a service as opposed to something she may have duplicates of 🤣❤️

[@claypigin]

I'm so suggestible. Since watching this video I've bought 2 tartan blankets, the glass candlesticks with taper candles and 2 of the board game. Also just ordered 2 tartan table runners 😂

[@dakotalee6990]

Ok, two things: 1. These are actually some bomb ideas. Will defs be stealing. 2. You are far and beyond my favorite parasocial relationship. Hearing you talk legit sounds like hanging out with a friend, which goes a long way in brightening my day. Have a great holidays and enjoy some time off!

[@Swameh]

The best gift to myself has been this channel, I re-watch videos all the time. Even though I've done my Christmas shopping already - we do potlucks and Secret Santa since a few years now - I do like the idea of a personal letter as a gift. You only hope to get it so right they'll actually keep it forever 😅

[@Caroline_Winkler]

this is the heartfelt letter i needed right now ❤potluck is also such a fun one. anything to bring people together in a low-stress interactive way

[@Swameh]

@@Caroline_Winkler yes exactly! It was more of a demand than suggestion from my mom 🥲 but it's worked out great. Pro tip to anyone reading, make sure to switch up who organizes the potluck every year to keep it fun!

[@ten_oclock_scholar4690]

I'm grateful for this channel. Your journey with quitting acting and relinquishing a big portion of your identity to make room for the new self is so relatable for me, and it's comforting to know that there are others in their thirties who are still figuring things out but who are flowing with life and finding their way. It gives me hope.

[@9trf690]

Caroline, I stumbled upon your channel last night. I must say, I've never stumbled upon anyone who's more like me until I stumbled upon you. You actually show your personality and bring humanity to KZbin that sometime gets lost. Thank you. Keep going.

[@darcyferrigno]

We live in a condo building and got our next door neighbors and friends a christmas ornament that literally said "I wish you lived next door to me" It is now hilarious because they get to explain that the people who live next door got them that ornament. Maybe I just have a weird sense of humor.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

hhaha i love that this gift is both sweet and disorienting

[@michelleb1152]

Caroline, Your speeches are always great, so keep them coming :-) For years I have asked my daughters to write me letters for my birthday and/or mother's day. It has been great for all of us to express and receive these heartfelt notes. I love that you suggested this. Particularly LOVE the tall candle idea and the Chameleon game. Also, the eucalyptus arrangement you have in the background. Happy Holidays!

[@Caroline_Winkler]

aw i hope you try chameleon with your daughters! i bet you guys will love it. and thank you!! every time i think im tired of eucalyptus i fall in love with it again because it lasts so long without wilting. cant resist a low effort plant :)

[@Helcaloth]

I have a friend that sends me handwritten cards annually and it's such an incredibly lovely gift to receive! I treasure them deeply. (also, I LOVE your hair in this video! You're almost making me want bangs despite my phobia of them ever since I had ugly short bangs in 7th grade lol)

[@BillPeschel]

I hope you send cards back to your friend. We used to do this for years, and finally stopped, because no one ever wrote back. Not even a signed card. (Note: this comment's just a coincidence. My wife and I are doing Xmas cards now and talking about this very thing.)

[@Helcaloth]

@@BillPeschel I absolutely do! Just wanted to comment from the receivers perspective, as I think some people might feel awkward sending this type of thing and not be sure if it's wanted you know? It's definitely something I have to remind myself of sometimes.

As someone who is old enough to be your mum, I have everything I need and so do my mum and husband. I buy myself something nice and tell my husband he can give it to me Xmas morning. I buy him something he has specified and give to him on Xmas morning. Mum and I do 'an experience' together. Ok, there's no surprise factor but we all get something we want (rather than unwanted 'stuff'). Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 xx

[@auntkaz815]

LOVE the suggestions, especially the “group hug” one. We celebrated our family Christmas early and there were some stressful moments that were smoothed over with a group hug! It brought on some tears (the good kind!) which led to more hugging. Truly awesome and just what was needed!

[@y0utuberculosis]

This is gonna sound so lame but honestly one of my fav memories of my life was at a music festival and there was a children's performer (Fred Penner for my Canadians out there) doing a show for a bunch of us nostalgic millennials, and in the middle of the show we all did a giant group hug with probably 200 people and it was amazing.

Your style is quite different to mine, but I love your advice and I love your personality! You need to start your own show. I hope a network picks you up some time soon.

If this was a few decades back, a network would create a sitcom for Caroline to star in. (with a different name since their was a Caroline sitcom in past).

[@pennyp1766]

The candle gift that I choose this time of year is a 100% beeswax (typically) pIllar. I love that the air quality in the home of my friend or loved one is not polluted by paraffin, which I despise. I think that natural products are the best gifts you can give someone. Good for them and better for the planet. About the Weleda Skin Food... I've tried using it many, many times, but the scent is way too strong and I am allergic to it, sooooo, if you have a scent-sensitive friend, this is not the gift. My picks from this list - not that anyone cares - is a set of non-toxic tapers with a beautiful candle holder or two; a shared experience; and the tartan blankie. FREAKING FINALLY - PART 2 OF THE BEDROOM MAKEOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!! I have truly been waiting.

I bought that tartan blanket - from that exact place! Love it! (oh and the Weleda too!)

[@LKNardo]

i would like 100% of these gifts. but i like all gifts because someone took the time to think of me. esp food/wine gifts. happy holidays Caroline!!

[@linneax]

I want to gift solely quality time/experiences unless I've heard something they actually do want/need. If I don't have a clue I go for things that eventually is used up and doesn't clutter. So candles, skincare, food/snacks is perfect for that. You're so right the pressure about gift giving is huge! We imagine this MOUNTAIN of gifts under the tree every year but I really wish the norm would be a few thought trough, slightly more expensive and good quality :) So that's what I'm aiming for. Gift cards feels boring but I think it's great! I rather want someone to spend a little extra on themselves and me being able to pitch in. Also I'm probably going to send a handwritten letter and some candy to a long distance friend for christmas :)

[@sofie.h]

Your channel is one of the best discoveries I’ve made this year! I hope YOU have the happiest holiday too!!

08:45 I have the same cream. It's legit a great cream, especially for very dry skin like mine. Before heading out I would also use it on my face and not feel the cold air that much (it sort of acts like a barrier). Try it!

[@Galadhwen]

Re: A little bit hurtful gifts. My dad hates mint and he has hated mint my entire life, and I knew this. My immediate family knew this. The extended family somehow did not. This came out one year around Easter, and all of his gifts from the extended family (and some of the immediate family) that Christmas were mint-themed. It was glorious.

[@jeas4980]

That's perfect. I got my Mother a small bean bag frog as a child (I'm now pushing 50) and she raved about it... it's so cute, how thoughtful... etc. etc... so every year since then for every birthday, mother's day, Christmas... every gift giving occasion she has recieved some sort of frog related gift. This has been going on now for well over 30 years. She hates it... and I know this but she won't tell me out right. Now, she has begun re-gifting me back onr frog item at a time. It's a game... we laugh about it... our family enjoys the "what rediculous frog item did she find this time" aspect of this game. They send me suggestions. It is so much fun.

[@millakaskela3235]

I started using the weleda cream as a lip balm after your recommendation in a vlog, and it really has saved my lips this winter!
