[@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 Needs To Live Alone On His NYC R188 7 Trains On His Own Time Than Inside His Private House For Good!

[@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.

[@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! 🙏💛

[@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. 😉

[@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!! 💛

[@Soo_Blessed]

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

[@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!) ♡

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@RachelDee]

Thanks for the free printable Diana!

[@melaniesunukjian]

Love this, Diana! Thanks for highlighting Fair Trade handmade goods that empower women globally!

[@susankultys7745]

[@MamaCrazyCakes]

Hi Diana, congrats on the birth of your punkin Caden ❤ Where did you get the plaid over shirt you are wearing, please & TY 😊 Love from Upper Michigan 🌲

[@courtneyshafer9942]

As I've gotten older I've noticed I love giving gifts! My daughter is 6 and she also loves to give gifts❤ the water bottles I may get for my kids 😊

[@nicolemassey2257]

This is the best Christmas gift video I’ve ever seen! These are perfect gifts for the people I buy for! Thank you!

[@mwcmwc8768]

Thank you!! LOVE so many of the things you shared-especially the wooden houses and felted nativity.

Awesome ideas! Thanks for your prayer and for your love for Jesus!

[@jenniferbarney4220]

I love my Bold Link necklace; I wear it a lot. Great gift ideas!

[@patriciabond4860]

Hey Diana I love your bed cover can you link that in one of your videos please? Great ideas in this one btw love the trade of hope jewellery 😍

[@kendramales6446]

As a speech-language pathologist specializing in orofacial myofunctional therapy, I approve of the water bottle!!!!

[@judyely1346]

Thank you for the water bottle recommendation. I bought one and love it!!

[@gailpepper1201]

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!!

[@kiffanibond165]

Love the gift ideas!!!

[@celesteg1088]

You are great Diana! So inspirational! Thank you! ❤

[@mindeeolliff1301]

These are SO cute!! My mom deals with a lot of health issues and has to have an oxygen tank, but she loves puzzles, movies and bears. I've given her a lot of puzzles- do you have any ideas on a cute crocheted thing to go with a puzzle? No worries if not- it's just nice to get a fresh brain on it!😁

[@uteme]

Thank you...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@cindytaylor698]

Diana, love your suggestions. Thank you. ❤

[@melissahuntsman1799]

I purchased the wooden capiz earrings from trades of hope for my secret Santa, they are so beautiful🤩

[@sandytarsenko6319]

I am So Happy I came across your channel I will be buying some gifts from the website

[@alexisblake6381]

I wish i had the gift of gift giving- you make it look beautiful and easy!

[@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 .

[@KR-os6nn]

Beautiful sweater Diana! I love the jewelry too :). Simple, classy, beautiful

[@TinaB2196]

Great ideas! Love the cake stand but don’t see a link. Ref to Walmart but the only one there is a Pioneer Woman for $40 and it’s not quite the same as yours. Any direction would be appreciated! 😊😊

[@getliftedup2905]

You are amazing! Thank you for taking the time to bless and serve us! We love you, Diana!

[@gracechadi]

Thank you for sharing.

[@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.

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

God bless you in your precious family diana

[@AC-mj9ic]

Amen. Love your light and the presence of the Lord in your videos as well as your amazing content. Subscribed and so happy to have found you 🙏💐

[@kafir7478]

And yes all in the name of conversion

[@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.

[@shaunaferguson6102]

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

[@PEARLPediatricTherapyPLLC]

Love these ideas Diana❤ love your prayers in the videos and your joy

[@katelynshipman4575]

Such gorgeous timeless pieces

[@katelynshipman4575]

Love the gift ideas! I didn't see the link to the bluetooth speaker. I think my daughter would like that. Thank you for that you do!

[@katiej8596]

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

[@christinehoffman1825]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@debraschroyer1878]

Thanks. Always love seeing you and hearing from you. God bless. And Merry Christmas.

[@tamifite8825]

Can you send me the link to the Miele espresso machine that you actually have in your kitchen bc the link you posted in your gift guide brings you to a different one through Amazon. The one in your video is the Miele. Thank you so much! Your content is awesome!🔥

[@Emmannie]

Love these ideas!! Thanks for all the products you shared; they go beyond buying something just for the sake of buying something. They *are* meaningful and special. Btw, you seem to be missing the link to the Gold Oblong Hoops. And your ToH site doesn't display correctly :(.

[@melodylewis1354]

You are such a breath of fresh air ❤

[@lisabourque1321]

Love this ❤

[@stitchingwithbears]

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

[@melaniehoffman8512]

Thank you, dear one!

[@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!

[@egr3071]

Great gift ideas!

[@jodierhea2658]

Great gift ideas plus a beautiful prayer of blessing = a great video. Thanks Diana❣️

[@katiewilson8169]

I love that Garmin smart watch! Will you link it please?

[@shirlesworld8727]

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.

[@CelebrateEverything]

Great video! Could you please link the dry shampoo?

[@user-es9mb8wi3m]

So smart. Thanks.

[@milliearnold5087]

Please link the watch. Thank you. Love your videos. God bless.

[@lauraann7816]

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 😊

[@patriciaboughton5501]

Wonderful gift ideas😀

[@ericarutter7770]

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

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

This was a great video full of great ideas! I am a huge fan of practical or useful gifts, thank you for reminding us to do this. Trades of hope is wonderful, such a great gift idea 😊

[@jillwolters6956]

Unfortunately, you missed linking some of what you mentioned. I found the JBL speaker, but what tea is that? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@LorreneRomanic]

Have you tried the Cacao Tea from Trades of Hope? I love it! I also bought "Our Voices Rising" but I haven't read it yet.
