My thrifted Christmas gifts HAUL + tips! | Vlogmas 16 - Chef Julie Yoon

[@karynkimkim]

Your creativity, style and thoughtfulness continues to amaze 🤩😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ChefJulieYoon]

I hope you saw the cameo of your gift pop up! Thanks Karyn. You’re always so supportive ❤

[@AudreyRaDesign]

I totally agree about normalizing giving secondhand gifts! You're still thoughtful about what you choose and it's not just some whatever thing. I haven't been thrifting in forever! AHHH Need to set aside a day to go!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

I just realized I missed a bunch of comments. Thanks for appreciating whatever thrifted gifts I've given you in the past. You're right that it has to be about thoughtfulness and care to the individual and something you'd want for yourself. I still feel like we haven't thrifted in forever and want to go! Haha.

[@niandanielle]

Loved watching how you thoughtfully put together your thriftmas gifts.

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Aw thanks Nian. I think that’s the part I love the most about gift giving. It is all about the thought process behind it and I think this is even more important if it’s thrifted or secondhand. All of my friends and family truly appreciated the gifts even more than I thought they would ❤.

[@felicasammy8563]

Wonderful ideas. Love how you included the gifts at the end of the video.

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Thanks Felicia… my friends and family all really loved their gifts and were truly surprised. I’m happy to hear my niece loved the sweatshirt too and wears it all the time! ❤

[@belgiumgirl8970]

After this, I’m going to my thrift shop in town, what great ideas!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Do it! Wish I could go more often but I guess it’s a good thing I don’t haha 😂

[@shannonoconnor3853]

I love that you tuned into each person's likes when you picked out gifts for them! I am sure that they all were quite touched when they received their gifts from you! Such clever decorating ideas to present the gifts! I love going thrifting, and this has greatly inspired me to thrift gifts for my family & friends! Wishing you and your family happiness!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

I am so sorry I missed your comment. They were really all touched and when I go to their houses, they have the items displayed or use it around the house. Even the kids still love the games and what-not. Decorating the gifts make them more special. I hope you were inspired enough to actually thrift some gifts for this year! I haven't had the chance this year yet, but it makes me want to do it again!

[@samename6479]

Boy, you gave some great ideas what to look for. Thank-you

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Thanks and I’m glad this was helpful or inspirational! I can’t wait to do it again. Just will have to get a head start to it this time around!

[@808_waipahu2]

Wow! Lots of inspirations!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Glad you think so! I was hoping it might inspire others to do the same. I love mixing in thrifted items with new items too. Makes my thrifting trips more fun and meaningful when I know I’m not just thrifting for myself.

[@rebacarmack8335]

I love to use thrifted baskets to put the rest of the gift in.

[@ChefJulieYoon]

same same! Sorry for the late reply but thrifted baskets are the way to go for sure!

[@naegwut]

Good stuff 🦄

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Thanks Nanette…this was a fun challenge and I’m happy to share any helpful tips!

[@jessicakim1302]

Lots of good finds! Super cute how you put the gifts together! 🎁🎁🎁

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Sorry for the year late reply but thanks for the compliment. I love grouping gifts - even new items with thrifted items. Makes things more special.

[@ireneyu2906]

Loved this! And I just love how you put everything together with the little touches. Absolutely beautiful!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Sorry for the year late reply, but thanks for the compliment...it's all about the little touches. It adds more thoughtfulness and care into the gift and elevates the idea of what secondhand could mean.

[@CrazyEggs123456789]

I love your filming room!!!!!!!!

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Thank you! And. I apologize for the 10 month old reply haha. We don't film out it as nearly as we want to- so it has become somewhat of a storage room, but we are slowly getting back to filming more regularly!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

These are fantastic finds! I love cats, too, and love the cat puzzle gift. I’m curious about the 500th piece. Did your friend do the puzzle and mention a missing piece? Taylor is absolutely adorable, and Lincoln is as cute as ever. 🥰

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Sorry about the late reply....she didn't ever end up making the puzzle. She keeps it displayed on the shelf as is. But she is an artist, so I honestly think she would just fill in the missing piece if she had to. She was still very touched by it! And thanks for the nice comments about our kids!

[@mpuppybreath]

YAY!!! I've been looking forward to this haul! Will comment more (waterfall..lol) later. Busy day. xoxo

[@mpuppybreath]

The thrifting video was great and now we can see everything! Aww... that scene with everyone counting the puzzle pieces...sweet! lots of helpful ideas. 🤗💐

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Haha you know I love those waterfalls 😂. And yes I cannot believe my crazy family and friends are just as nuts as me- helping me out like that counting those dang pieces haha!

[@mpuppybreath]

@@ChefJulieYoon 😊🤗

[@trishnace2253]

[@ChefJulieYoon]

[@ChefJulieYoon]

Yay...that's nice to hear. I hope it inspired you for this year too! My apologies for my late response!

[@catladynj]

[@ChefJulieYoon]

I love your name....maybe you would've loved the cat puzzle too. Sorry about the late response!

[@agodlyhome]

I really enjoyed the video

[@ChefJulieYoon]

So glad that you did...hope it was helpful and you remember the tips for this year! Sorry for the late response!

[@ivanajukicgloban6627]
