this is the best Christmas list I've seen yet! There are multiple items on the list that were already on my list and a few more that I didn't think of. Thanks for the great ideas!

I have 17 plants. It’s a lot to take care of. I recently was diagnosed with a very serious disease. So far I have given away several plants. I have 6 plants left. I don’t have the bandwidth for all of this stuff. I also got rid of three tall kitchen trash bags of stuff. What a relief. I am not done yet. Any prayers for me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

When you mentioned Cass from clutterbug and the collapsible bucket… I wonder if you have seen her video where the bucket collapses while full of water and spills everywhere during her recent deep cleaning video 😂😂😂the whole video is pure comedy gold lol

[@dianasimplifies]

😂😂😂😂I have to look for that 😂

[@John-od6rp]

Yes I saw it! Hilarious! I had the same thought. 🤣

Same!

I give my older kids paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, steaks, chicken, and pork. They love it.

My SIL gets our boys (ages 5 and 2) a magazine subscription for Christmas. They love getting their special mail each month and it's something that can be passed along or recycled. I eventually put them in little free libraries.

Our family plays a 'gift giving' game ~ we pick names. After that, going around the room you say who you picked & then 'charade' their gift...only the person 'receiving' the gift can guess! (But all join in anyway!) It is so fun to see the little ones receive 'imaginary' ponies, castles or friendly dragons! Equally fun to see the teenagers 'receive' a car, a boat, new ski equipment, etc. The adults... we 'receive' elaborate homes, furniture, pools & jewelry! In the end we realize the best gift is spending time together & donating any $ that would have been spent to a worthy cause! ♡

[@taraamundson1140]

One thing that I have given is a big sturdy circular swing that hangs from a tree. I bought it at Sam’s Club and my grandkids have enjoyed it for years. I paid $100 for it and they have 4 kids!! This year I bought a trampoline for their birthdays and Christmas gifts!! So worth it. They are jumping on it for hours every day. They are getting exercise and it will last for years!! It makes it easier for to and lasts a long time!!

[@getliftedup2905]

Dawn, I thank our God for all you do!!! You are a gift to the Kingdom of God!!! Thank you for loving everyone so well.💜 Every week, I look forward to the God-given content you bring to lead us more deeply in the abundant life! Remain encouraged, my friend!

[@Jade-oo3dj]

I’m usually not a fan of gift guides but really really enjoyed this gift guide and added so many items to my Christmas shopping Wishlist.

[@pamelaflickinger2160]

I appreciate this. This year my grandson will be almost 2 1/2 years. I purchased him a subscription for One year of highlights, high five magazine, and I am getting him some magna-tiles. You gave me good ideas for the others and for the stockings. Thank you for this.

[@nordicnisse]

The 5 gifts for family. 1. Something they want. 2. Something they need. (Usually clothes, shoes, PJs.) 3. Something to read. 4. Something creative to DO! 5. Something special to eat.

[@jenniegardner462]

“If my mom will let us.” I don’t know why that statement made me laugh. Even when you’re a grown adult gotta listen to your mom!!! 😂

[@brightpurpleviking]

I despise Christmas. If there were no gifts or debt or expectations from those around us I would probably like it more. I’m a thanksgiving gal for that reason.

[@krissyk9767]

Yes I would prefer to just have a nice lunch with family. Gifts are fun for kids but I think unecessary for adults. Like my parents have everything and buy everything, they have so much. But I have to wrack by brains thinking of something to buy them for Christmas. It just seems so pointless. So much of what people buy eachother is just junk.

[@AJ-bu4yv]

I love Thanksgiving too!

[@krissyk9767]

[@dianasimplifies]

I really don't prefer it either. Would prefer to just visit with family and celebrate Jesus birth.

[@laceyballiet6627]

Great gift idea. Love the red shirt today. So festive and in the spirit:)

[@hollyhferris]

I’ve had the Turkish hand towels for years and they look the same today as they did on day 1 even with kids using them. They are great quality!

[@charlafraley8340]

I love my Kindle page turner but it took me three purchases and two returns before I figured out I needed to narrow the margins or I ended up moving it to see the words but since I figured that out I absolutely love it. It is so nice keeping the remote in my hand under the covers and being able to turn the pages.

[@bonessam9618]

Thanks for sharing, Dawn! Yes, consumables are the best...for me at least. Then I don't have things sitting around. My list is short again this year.

[@christinegrelck9131]

I’m sooooo impressed you’ve already thought about and purchased gifts for Christmas. I’m inspired to get an early start and appreciate your tips!

[@GayleThornton-v5e]

Thanks Dawn! The plus plus blocks mentioned in your previous videos was a hit last year with my grandsons. 😊

[@Texasmom]

I always love Tuesdays. Love and blessings from East Texas.

[@beckyjohnsen3128]

Good stocking stuffer for my young adult girls this year is eyeshadow pallets. Elf has a really good basic one for $3(last year's price). This year, I'm thinking about the bigger Revolution eyeshadow pallets from Target. ($12). Maybe an ELF brush or two. And their lip liners are great and only $2! The hair curling set my girls LOVE and use all the time! I've even used it! Works great, but a small learning curve... Another great gift is the lamps that heat your candles so you don't have to burn them. It makes your candles last for months! Saves money in the long run and they're so beautiful!($20-30)

[@MissARSims]

I always love your practical and minimal gift giving ideas. A favorite of my grandmas is a custom calendar. She is a big book lover, so we are also getting a custom book embosser and bookmark.

[@bdrummond5414]

The inventors box is on our list again this year! It was a huge hit for my kids and niece and nephews!

[@Karen-pe6oc]

Thank you for the great ideas. Shopping randomly is my least favorite part of Christmas. This truly helps. 🎄

[@mariannatodd7010]

Dawn, I've been going through your old Christmas gift idea videos, and it was so nice to see a new one pop up! I'm probably in the minority but if there is anyone on your list leaning more carb-conscious, perhaps consider some fancy meat, fish, or butter? Completely consumable!

[@dianasimplifies]

Yes my sister and I are carb conscious

[@swansonseven2851]

Great video 😊 Clara and I have an on going Dutch Blitz game. She’s like 4,000 points ahead of me. We plan to put the scoring notebook in my casket when I die 😂

[@Christine-zk6hk]

The Woobles were the first crochet kits and they include instructional videos to help. True beginners who have never crocheted before, the videos are very helpful.

[@lormor460]

These are great ideas! I usually shop on Amazon so it’s perfect for me. Thank you!

[@millylarz]

My MIL gets us the heavy duty sheets from Sam's Club every year because we don't have one near us anymore, that and our favorite chocolates plus fun toothpaste and toothbrushes with silly designs to make up for the unhealthy chocolates😅. I look forward to it every year🙌❤😂.

Do the sheets tear up within a year? Just curious bc I was about to buy a set for myself

[@sarialtman1172]

Thank you Dawn! Hubby is 6’7 so I will definitely check out the 1/4 zip. I’m embarrassed to say that my boys 22 & 24 pretty much have everything. I wish I could go back in time and change that. Really appreciate your videos. Also, my boys got me the Owala 24 ounce for my birthday. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it’s the easiest bottle to grasp. You are fabulous and thanks to your parents for letting you use the basement for the set up.🩷

[@micaelablogs]

You have so many good ideas here! I find it so, so hard to give gifts. Since I don't like receiving extra stuff, I'm usually overly practical and I talk myself out of every idea I have 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will definitely be using some of these ideas for my loved ones this year!

[@marlenebeck1739]

Thank you for these types of idea videos. I’ve purchased some of your suggestions over the past few years and really appreciated the head up: bamboo drawer organizers, water bottle organizers, travel makeup bag to name a few. I. Thinking of getting the expandable ping pong set this year. We’re moving away from a lot of gift buying to spending money on activities we can do as a family. I think ping pong will be a hit! Thank you for sharing your finds.

Woobles are worth the money. You are paying for a crochet course. The kit includes a code to get online video instructions. Also, the yarn is started for you in the beginner kits so that you can be successful quickly. My 11 year old son learned to crochet with zero help from me using woobles.
