Your love for the Lord and his word, your humor, your joy are a Christmas gift to me, in November😃

[@DianaKokku]

Aww, thank you! That means so much 🥹💛

Hi Miss Diana Kokku, Mister Joel McConney From East NY, Bklyn Is Still Feeling More Sorry That His Grandmother Passed Away At The Age Of 86 In 2020, 3 Years Back!

[@lizzilangston8377]

I just randomly clicked on your video. I can not get over how much you look and sound and have similar mannerisms as Dawn from minimal mom. Are you sisters? I love Dawn . She has taught me so much. You also had some great ideas. Thank you for the video!!

[@JG22-c5o]

They are twins and Dawn often joins Diana in her videos. Love both these ladies!

Hi Miss Diana Kokku, Mister Joel McConney From East NY, Bklyn Wants To Wish You A Happy Holidays 2023 To You And Your Husband Too!

[@donnawiseman9311]

I have a gift idea for elderly women that has been greatly appreciated by the recipient. So many times they want to do something for the Lord, but feel they can do nothing. I fill a basket with cards, get well, sympathy, thinking of you, blank cards, etc. I add postage stamps and a large print list of names and addresses of our church family with room to add more of their own.

[@sandrapride1046]

We gave stamps and grocery store gift cards.

[@caseyfairless8157]

Elmo Saves Christmas is a super cute movie about Christmas every day. 😊

[@Anagrams458]

I noticed the lack of 🎉"cute little"😊 this year. Thank you for your prayers - they frequently bring me to tears in a beautiful way.

[@jillwolters6956]

Thankfully! The "cute little" wasn't so cute after 2 minutes! Lol She's learned so much in her KZbin journey. 😉

[@kristynielsen8916]

I'm going to get those Mary and Joseph figurines to use for my "Journey to Bethlehem" activity where my kids try to find M&J hidden in different locations around the house throughout December.

[@DianaKokku]

Great idea!! I might have to borrow this! 🙏💛

[@Soo_Blessed]

Diana thank you Thank you for keeping us on track 🍃Thank you for Being about your Father's business

[@felicia8053]

You & Dawn are my favorite content creators, hands down! I wanted to start getting gifts, but thought, no, I have to wait to see what you guys suggest!

[@DianaKokku]

Dawn is here helping me with the baby, so I read your sweet comment to her… thank you!! 💛

[@yvonneh.3618]

I always wait for your prayers

[@jonelledavenport8701]

Diana I appreciate you and your prayers 🙏 ❤️ Thank you for sharing your gift ideas and keeping us centered on the meaning of Christmas. Take care.

[@Lindie406]

Thank you for the great list!! Do you (or any other viewers) have ideas for whole family gifts besides games? My brother is a pastor and they have 5 kids; I’d love to think of more creative ways to bless them at Christmas.

[@uteme]

Popcorn/movie night. Ice cream & all the makins & fixins. Pasta maker/fondue kettle. The Chosen dvds. Coupon for babysitting. Personalized throws. Family of 5 children - reams of paper (school work, writing, artwork!) A years supply of kool-aid or favorite drink mixes. A good night sky book. A picnic basket with plates, napkins & utensils. A llama (kidding!) ♡

[@Lisa-cg9vv]

I love that you represent the real meaning of Christmas. ✝️

[@tonyawest7186]

Thank you for praying at the end. I am a person that Christmas is a drain and I already feel it coming. Thanks again!

[@susankultys7745]

I love, love, love that you talk about Jesus on your videos. Bibles, prayer, journaling - all of it. I love the prayers that you say at the end of your videos. Thank you so much. What an incredible gift this is to me, all through the year. ❤

[@teresadakin5090]

You would be an awesome friend to go Christmas shopping with! Or better still online shopping whilst we have coffee! Thanks for hanging out with us, you brightened my day x 😊

[@blessedplum5219]

Diana… do you have as many bibles and devotionals as Dawn decorative pillows? 😂

[@juliekonigskind6434]

We always give a calendar with fotos of the grandkids to my parents and the in-laws. They really appreciate it :) Also, I love giving a one year magazine subscription to someone with a special hobby or interest. For instance if they love to cook, a monthly magazine with seasonal recipes or if they love to go camping, an outdoor / hiking magazine. This way, they can “use it up” and pass it on after reading through it, but still have a whole year of fresh ideas.

[@nancycardenuto4430]

LOVE YOU, YOU ARE MY ANSWER TO PRAYER🎉THANK YOU❤

[@RachelDee]

Thanks for the free printable Diana!

[@madgeteegarden-tc4fr]

You are such a wonderful blessing. I love your videos and you too. You’re so inspiring. The way you always end with a beautiful picture of nature and a beautiful prayer. I’m sure the Lord is very pleased with you His daughter. ❤😊

I ordered a set (2) of the glass mugs. They are so lightweight, they feel like plastic but they aren't. Really nice. Thanks for sharing them on here!!

Your gift videos are always the best! Helps to have ideas from someone who has the love language!! ❤

[@katiej8596]

Awesome video! Thank you!! I got some great ideas for family that's hard to shop for.

[@CC-jt5fc]

Thank you for the ideas and thank you for not being ashamed of believing in Jesus. Another idea that was given to us by a friend was a pool pass. They made a cute basket with a couple pool towels and water toys. Movie baskets with a dvd, candy, and popcorn are fun too. Kids get so much at Christmas that it is nice for them to get an activity. Gift certificates for ice cream, ice skating or children’s museum.

[@Catluvsdogs]

This is my first time landing here. I had never heard of trades of hope but I just ordered 2 items on there. I love gift ideas from places other than Amazon. Also just printed your holiday guide. It's amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this sweet video!

[@findingaway5512]

A mom was speaking about using more natural products and had brought up a brand called crunchi. They had a very full impressive make up line. Maybe another brand to look into. Quality was great. I am not a make up person. But wanted to pass along since I hadn't heard of them before.

[@ericarutter7770]

I expected way more, “cute little” descriptions 😂 Love you Diana!

[@melodymiller8513]

I SAW THE BELLS USED AS NAPKIN RINGS. OUR HOUSEHOLD ISN'T THAT FANCY, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A NEAT IDEA.

[@sandrapride1046]

Thanks, Diana. We give a lot of experiences-my daughters and I are going to a play together. Also, as my eyes age, I need a LARGE PRINT Bible!

[@stitchingwithbears]

I needed you to say "cute little" more 😘😘 thanks for this!!!!

[@apriltahe]

Awesome ideas. Are you doing a video what you got your kids and nieces and nephews for Christmas ? That would be fun since this video covered adult gifts .

There's a lot of aspects of Christmas. Of course the birth of Jesus. But giving gifts is a part of it - it is the love language of many people. It also expresses appreciation. And ..... the Wise Men brought gifts. Thought put into the gifts is key 😊

[@joannemazurek9075]

I'm like you. I gravitate towards natural earth tones when it comes to makeup.

I’m a really difficult person to buy for, as I’m not into make up, jewellery, perfume & smelly candles etc. I much prefer chocolates, Haribos & anything to do with Winnie the Pooh. There’s some great Christmas ideas on here but I don’t actually have many people to buy pressies for.
