Yours is the first Christmas decorating video that hasn't stressed me out! Calm and peace are what I need from my decor this year. 😇 My craft of the season has been knitting dishcloths to give as gifts. 14 sets completed and one to go! I have enjoyed it so much I'm not sure I will be able to stop. 😊

Two other gift suggestions. Make a donation to the charity of the gift receiver’s choice or create certificates of service. A day of dog sitting, mowing the yard, running a half day of errands for example. This was a beautiful video.

This is exactly what I needed today, our first snowfall in southwestern Ontario🇨🇦 Every idea, Benita, is inspiring me today! Another minimal gift to consider is one my nephews give me every year: a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation and/or UNICEF. It always warms my heart to know that others in greater need than I are receiving support.

@@anaalves3658 It seems to me that this takes the recipients needs and wishes totally out of the equation. Doesn't feel like a personal gift and if the recipient truly needs or wants something they are left feeling hollow. Just my thoughts.

Replacing existing decor with Xmas decor so it’s not overwhelming is such a simple yet effective idea! I’ve always felt my space is cluttered by adding extra seasonal decor but it never occurred to me I could switch out stuff instead. Thank you for this tip!

I really like your Greenery on your headboard! Makes it look so much more warm and cozy. When our 3 adult girls were grown we realize that they really didn't have the budget to buy everybody presents at Christmas. Now that they have their own families the same as even more true. Not everyone has a resources to buy multiple gifts for people. We try to avoid gift cards as they can be seen as fairly impersonal. Instead we do stocking stuffers small items that we know that they use and enjoy and some homemade food items. This year I did some olive oil packed roasted organic tomatoes that I grew in our garden. Minimal gift ideas to me are really also minimal outlay of cash with the economy the way it is and prices way way up at least in the United States. Concert tickets, depending on what kind of concerts you're talking about can be exorbitantly expensive for most people. Unless you're talking about local small symphonies? Or? You can really save a lot of money if you do your own Foods as far as cooking, making your own smoothies Etc. I know some of those pre-made smoothie drinks are handy but can get pretty expensive over time. But if you can afford it go for it!

What a lovely video, as always! The bit about the mistletoe and made me laugh and almost tear up at once 🥹 I’m going back to France this Christmas, so will be spending it without my cat Pixie who will stay in the warm Australian summer. I believe time together, paired with an activity, makes for a great gift - we’re so busy, especially during the silly season, that a “voucher to go to the movies together” (where I pay for the movie ticket, and let my friend pick the film of course) is always appreciated. So I’m not only giving my money, but also my time, to my loved ones. God Jul to you too Benita!

Hello from 🇨🇦, Benita. I always enjoy your holiday decorating video so very much, that I watch them multiple times even thru out the year. I love seeing your minimal lighting adding warmth and cheer to your apartment. I too love setting up my Christmas lights around our home and enjoy them well into the new year. I have added two IKEA type window stars to our decor and with two small berry wreaths and a couple of small garlands of cones and cotton, we are enjoying our small additions well before December this year. Have a lovely day .

I kept my Christmas decorations very simple this year. It was so much more manageable for me. Usually I manage about two weeks and then I need to clear them away. I think because I pared them down I was able to last four weeks. My wonderful dad gifted me a real tree on 1st December. I normally put mine up on 12th. I donated lots of decorations in early December for other people to use them. If my home is too cluttered it really affects me adversely. This year was that magic, happy spot! I’ll be doing the same in future too. Your home looks beautiful ❤

Tusen tack for the - as always - amazing and cozy video, Benita ✨️ In my family we read a lot and we have this tradition that each one writes down their book wishes on little pieces of paper and puts them in an envelope (usually a few more wishes that people that are engaged). My mother than hangs them up on a string at my parents' house and each member chooses one book of each of the other envelopes. So for example I gift a book each to both my parents, brother, and partner and I will get 4 books in return. In that way everyone gets only what they wish for but will also be surprised what books they get by whom 😊 Greetings from Vienna!

Was so waiting for your Christmas decorating of your home. All your decorations and ideas are fantastic. Brilliant what you did with the toilet paper rolls. Those decorations are so nice. I commented last video, but have to say again, I do love that chest in your kitchen that you are waiting to take to your summer home. You Ikea tree is nice decorated simply and makes the room so cozy at night with the lights and candles. Always like to see how you gift wrap your gifts each year. I do like the greenery on your headboard and I too should do the same. You place is so cozy now, quite a difference this Christmas when you can actually enjoy all of your renovations you did. Nice to see you and your friend Anne making decorations. So look forward to your next video. Love your sofa more and more and that lovely painting above it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I love to decorate the shrubs outside my home in white lights. I do keep it fairly simple indoors. I also used to have live trees but I invested in an artificial tree that really has the look and feel of a real tree. We spend our Christmas and winters in Florida. Lots of warmth and sunshine, but, I still love the peace and stillness of the cold winters night. Have a blessed Christmas season🎄🎄🎄

Love your tree - it was cute seeing Bonus enter the frame as you were assembling it. I noticed you had what appears to be a magnet mounted to the ceiling which made it easy to use the hook with the magnet to hang your decor. Where do you find and how do you mount ceiling magnets? I’m all in for consumable gifts. I’ve pared down my home items considerably and don’t need more stuff. I decorated with small stuffed winter owls this year. I have them sitting on a white ceramic tray with fairy lights. Also have candles, greenery and fairy lights placed about. Those are things I’ll leave up all winter for hygge effect. Bring on the chai tea and cakes!

I found the magnet at a store called Clas Ohlson. It's adhesive so you stick it to the ceiling and leave the base there. Then you can remove the hook part when not in use. It's just a little dot that's hardly seen since it's so high up.

I enjoyed watching you prepare for the holiday season. Your home is so peaceful and warm. I thought I had decluttered enough, but have discovered while decorating that I still have much to still let go of. My little artificial tree has only white lights and pewter ornaments I bought from Norway and Sweden. Of course there is a Julbok and a tomten guarding it. My snowball candles from Sweden are once again burning with tea lights in them, two others(Kosta Boda?) are cheerful and peaceful. These candle holders have been with me since I briefly lived in Sweden(in Taby) in the 90s and have burned every year. I learned the value of candles my first winter there. And I’ve not quit using them. I remember sweet things from living there. I haven’t opened my box of Swedish pepperkaker yet, but will when closer to Xmas. ☕️🫖🎄 Although I have very little Nordic DNA (maybe 10-12%) I have continued yearly some small Swedish customs. I enjoy feeling connected still in a tiny way to Sweden and my Xmas isn’t complete without them. God Yul and Happy Christmas to you.

Inspirational vlog. I am minimalist in decor. My decor usually goes up the middle of December but have a tradition of taking it down on the 12th night after Christmas. But I love the idea of a few lights up, so may well do that. Great gift ideas. Enjoy your December 🌿

Beautiful decor! I like your Christmas gift suggestions! I often buy nuts and wine for the men and chocolates for the women, as well as other gifts. This year, I bought a movie gift card for a friend who is a minimalist. 😊

Oho, Bonus is wishing that mistletoe to another place if getting over-kissed, Benita 😂 candles all the way, electric to prevent burned cat whiskers. It is so dark, so early, so little light. Love how your Christmas deco turned out 🥰

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love these ideas! I'm definitely going to use them next time, now that we've finished our Christmas shopping for the year. Unless I happen to come across something small that they really want, I won't be buying anything else. But for now, I'm super happy with what we've got.
