What a joy it would be to receive a handmade gift from Rochelle! WOW! 🤯

[@lovd888]

she's truly a professional wood worker. I am so impressed.

[@hoppingwren]

I know it's so gorgeous!

[@kirstinxox]

I was thinking the same 🤭

[@inspires_mez]

Truly ❤

[@nadiabeautyo7107]

I think she’s the only one that did any real work it’s beautiful

[@RadMad789]

Rochelle killed it! All of the gifts were cute, but Becky won the gift swap with that wine rack! 🎁🍷

[@sabashaukat8396]

Becky gift wz way more better nd cute then Rochell...courtesy to all other Rochelle fans ...who try to appreciate her like she is doing something out of this world...

[@kebert2thumbsup]

Rochelle is just working at pro level!

[@courtneykholousi]

Are you kidding me, Rochelle!? Your wine rack is outstanding! So impressed! Loved Becky’s luggage holder both in thoughtfulness and execution. Rachael has the practically with flare. Kelsey, props for committing to learning a whole new skill for the bit. Love you all!

[@myrnashoults9735]

Did you see the till she made in the last video? GENIUS!

[@Darenim]

So Kelsey can crochet now... How long before she discovers micro crochet for her tiny builds? 😱🤯

[@TheSorryGirls]

one step at a time

[@genie9313]

@TheSorryGirls - can we get an update on Kelsey’s last tiny build? Is it still there?

[@thestripelessbee713]

@@genie9313they posted it about it…it had to be taken down due to safety concerns

[@sazennonumber]

@@genie9313 unfortunately, they had to remove it. :(

[@absurdnes]

I'm glad someone said it cause I was thinking the same thing the whole time 😂

[@freckledspeckled5406]

I love how much everyone loves Rochelle. She’s so talented and it’s well deserved. All of you are!

[@darthorion4197]

I want Rochelle to have her own series called "woodworking 101" to learn the basics of woodworking 😊 There are some projects I want to do but I don't know how to do it 😅

[@katsosa9541]

Maybe she’ll make more “How to go Do” videos she currently has 10 now I’m sure more are to come in the future.

[@marim0y]

Yeeeeessssss

[@JessicaVining]

Not that it was a competition bc they were all great but I think Rochelle’s gift she made was top tier 🎉 great job gals!

[@drlnmrdn]

it's nice to see all the sorry girls together more pleaseeee

[@sazennonumber]

yes! i enjoyed that too.

[@Sookielein]

Oh my god Rochelle is the sweetest human being and so considered. Her gift is just fabulous and I would be over the moon to receive something like that.

[@leechesterr8954]

It blows my mind how the wine stand Rochelle made is better than the sample picture she showed at first!!!🤯

[@lwahethabdo7071]

Rochelle should have her own show She has an outstanding talent ❤

[@luciaplesko]

I love how all the girls made different gifts with different difficulty lever from crocheting and Stanley cup accessories to pro woodworking with Roch ❤

[@kelseyschmitz6465]

As a crocheter this was SO fun to watch Kelsey learn 🥹

[@TheSorryGirls]

same -social media manager

[@TBYRDLEW]

All so wonderful and personalized!! How can one ever live up to Rochelle’s master crafting though 😂

[@kmarie1351]

All the gifts were amazing, but Rochelle's gift for Becky wins!

[@marz_otts5798]

Kelsey's "i made a thing" at 14:18, I understood so much, I have just finished making my Christmas gifts for my godparents and grandparents and crochet can be really challenging. And you feel so proud of yourself when you're done. Kelsey, once you start crochet you won't stop, and it makes you feel like you do not know how to count.

[@luminarygoddess8642]

My grandma tried to teach me she was great but I can’t pull yarn through my fingers very long, it’s like someone who hates styrofoam rubbing. I have tons of respect for knitters and crocheters👏👏👏👏

[@bellatadson]

So I do cross stitching rather than crochet, but the feeling that you don't know how to count is SOOO relatable omg!! 😅🙈

[@andreamalik2961]

Wow, Rochelle's make is amazing, she is super sķilled. They're all lovely & very thoughtful.

[@ashleyrose1840]

You’re all wonderful and work so well together, but I must say, Rochelle is truly a gift to the channel. Her skills are seriously next level.

[@leahpruner4410]

As someone who doesn’t use wrapping paper, I’m so happy to see that you all used alternatives to wrap the gifts! Yay Sorry Girls! Great gift ideas too.

[@vintagecameragirl]

Me and my friends started doing a craft secret Santa during lockdown. Every year we have a different person to make for and a different theme. This year I got my nightmare before Christmas obsessed friend, so I'm making her a Sally's dress inspired scarf. It's cost maybe £15 and the ones online that are close to it are like £50. So yay for crafting!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Oh my! The exotic wood store Rochelle went to made me breathless! Great job ladies!

[@teganbain1100]

4:17 that’s a Banksia seedpod! A Banksia tree is native to Australia and have these beautiful flower heads which when die off and seeds are released from those eye looking bits. I’ve seen small businesses here sand it down to turn it into an oil diffuser 😊

[@justknotsandknots]

Tip to keep the yarn stops rolling around while crochet/knitting is to pull the center yarn end instead of the one that's wrap around the outside if that make sense. Makes life easier:)

[@TamarLitvot]

Works with thick yarn like she has, but with thinner yarn, you can end up with a tangled mess as the inner part collapses. For thinner yarn, put the skein in a big smooth (inside) container and it can roll around without rolling away.

[@lacuna_matata_9261]

I always put mine in a big wooden bowl stops it from rolling all over the place 😂🥰

[@marycollins5823]

It's not an official competition but Rochelle won lol like she's on a different level

[@luminarygoddess8642]

So good ! The luggage rack could double as a table with wood or glass top when entertaining and be put away. ❤🇨🇦

[@JL11775]

Great gift ideas for each other! Good job, Becky, re the luggage stand. I have one at home for when guests spend the night so they don’t have to put their luggage on the floor. Nicely done, ladies 👏👏👏👏

[@thejoalrcnmusic]

Love the gifts! ❤ also…… those individual gift wraps from everyone is gorgeous! Maybe a chic gift wrapping video next? 👀🎄

[@EliseCarolineexx]

I ran into Rochelle at a local thrift store and I just have to let you guys know that's she's even SWEETER in person! she's so down to earth and kind, I genuinely felt like I was talking to a friend! 💛

[@velyvely6479]

great ideas, but i have to say the Stanley bag was kinda awful, i think it could have been nicer if you made the pouches yourself

[@JessicaVining]

I loved the idea behind it! But I thought the pouch ended up being way too big for the cup for sure

[@missrobinhoodie]

Yup, just what I thought. Kinda sad because Rochelle herself put so much effort into her gift and her result was excellent. She deserved better!

[@carinarodrigues1267]

This feels like watching the Avengers !!! All the Sorry girls together 🥰

[@AbrarQtr]

Rochelle is killing it ❤‍🔥

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

Little random thought, but I could hear Rochelles voice all day. Its so perfect somehow!

[@Jeanie2299]

Yes! Her voice is so soothing.

[@DianaBoBanana]

Each gift was thoughtful in its own way, but seriously, TSG needs to give Rochelle her flowers! 💐 Especially in her first few months of being a Sorry Girl host! I don't know the first thing about woodworking but it was incredibly interesting (and cool) to watch the walkthrough of the exotic woods store, her practising on scrap wood, brainstorm her way through the measurements, and make the keyhole brackets. Becky's was really interesting too (felt like I was watching a Lee Valley workshop!) very cozy and empowering video

[@robsgirl7778]

I love how well thought out each gift was. They really tried to make something that each other would love and use.

[@ntcssj]

Those loop things Kelsey was mentioning are called knitting looms. When I first saw Kelsey put thread the end of the crochet needle I was like omg what are you gonna try?!? Glad she figured it out with tutorials. I still follow tutorial videos whenever I'm doing a new pattern for crochet. I love that I've done crochet for a few years now 'cause it's very versatile for many projects and more flexible than knitting (which I tried for a week but couldn't get the hang of before switching to crochet instead). You can also get a hand crank knitting loom if you're a yarn craft person who wants to make projects quick. Also, we need a tour of Rochelle's workshop! Looks amazing!

[@videozarecool]

Rochelle's gift was on another level. I would 100000% watch a woodworking basics channel or series

[@mandapierce3012]

As a crochet artist, Kelsey’s crochet confidence was ambitious for having never crocheted, but she pulled it off! I’d love to see more ;)

[@ashleyjordan1213]

As a crocheter and knitter, Kelsey calling her works "a crochet" is hilarious

[@elizabethrosado4602]

The best gifts are made with Love !!! Happy Holidays!! To all and God bless you all Always 🙏 ❤️ 😊

[@BarryRackley]

Four times the charm in this DIY. Great ideas!!! More please......

[@ingelemaire1982]

Rochelle’s DIY looks amazing! So beautiful.

[@TheBeautifulTruthh]

becky needs to know about those tiles! could be sick in the bathroom

[@marianascabello4420]

I'm so impressed with Rochelle!! She's a pro

[@jinjarogers1711]

That strange lil wooden beast that Rochelle found at the timber shop and said "what is this?"... it's a banksia tree seed pod from over here in Australia 🇦🇺

[@mistyblankenship8158]

Dang I really need that luggage stand!!! Will save this and see if the hubby will make one for me!! Love all the gifts. You ladies did a great job on all of them.

[@TasuMoni]

The wine rack is so good! Also the luggage stand! These two gifts are so thoughtful and nicely executed! Rochelle and Beky are the best! ❤

[@vickinoeske1154]

This gift exchange was so fun and very personal and thoughtful gifts.❤😊🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁

[@isabelbrown2907]

These are all so personalized and thoughtful! Means 1000x more being homemade 😊

[@sazennonumber]

I literally love all of the gifts!! The sweater is adorable and Rachel can totally pull it off. The luggage stand is so versatile and good looking. What a cute and festive mug organizer! And the wine rack is stunning. My fave thing of all is that you all got together and that we got to see you all in one video. 😍💖

[@RWeHavingFunYet]

I got a luggage flip out stand at Value Village..it is handy for unpacking or guest when they come to visit ..when not using it for suitcases..We got a tray that fit on top of it and use is as a small table multi purpose

[@nfa6386]

what in the spaghetti tampon is, oh its a bow!

[@ursuchariot]

ngl i’d be so mad if i made a gorgeous wine rack and received a secondhand rave bag 😭😭

[@annebarboza]

The whole vibe of this video is so heart warming 🥹

[@PhiliH88]

I love how thoughtful these all were

[@juliacann892]

This video made me so happy! All of you made gifts so personal and played up your strengths. I may have teared up a little bit... I love this team!!!

[@Frannyp4ck]

These were all such great gift ideas! Deff not your typical run of the mill diy. I love the chemistry you all have, it feels genuine and seeing how thoughtful all the gift ideas were solidifies it.

[@shellyb9175]

For the luggage rack, you can re-purpose a folding tv tray by removing the top and recycling leather belts for the straps. Great ideas ladies!

[@caleighh6]

Love the diy wrapping for all your gifts, very cute. All of those diys were so thoughtful and individual to each person, well done guys!

[@chrispkreme5262]

The holiday vibes have me wanting an updated group brand photo even morrreeee 😭😭

aww these were all so thoughtful. and i love that you used reusable materials to wrap the gifts as well 💖

[@justbecause...]

I love seeing all the girls together! What thoughtful gifts! Merry Christmas to The Sorry Girls!

[@AgentEPZ]

I want to thank you for your content. I love every video and how you’ve expanded as a company and the videos you put out. I especially love and appreciate and respect you guys striving to not use new whenever possible. I love you guys.

[@partlyironic]

Rochelle just a genuinely magical human being.

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

Wow, you all outdid yourselves! And I loved seeing all 4 of you in the same video, what a treat!

[@alexisnicole8118]

This video really shows that Rochelle and Rachel are amazing additions!! You four are the best group!!

[@StephieDee83]

I have been following The Sorry Girls for so long, back since the pygmy hedgehog days (which is how I found the channel, because I had a hedgie too, back then), and I love how the channel continues to grow and flourish! Happy Holidays to all at The Sorry Girls!!

[@abbeyv4148]

watching Kelsey lick the yarn and try to "thread" it through the crochet hook like a needle was exactly what I needed to boost my serotonin this morning:) 13:47

[@ursuchariot]

i’m dying 😭 i didn’t notice that hahahahahaha

[@janetd4862]

Becky - I have a luggage stand in my spare bedroom. I bought it about 15 years ago, and gave one to my parents, also. Guests often tell me how nice it is to have a place to put their suitcase up off the floor. I’ve never seen one in a store, and often wonder why not.

[@maryskinner9935]

So fun seeing you all together!!

[@sarahwenger4479]

I love all the gifts, they each were so thoughtful and well made! I love the idea of giving accessories for an item that’s used everyday and I love the blue and purple color palette that Rachel chose! I also love the idea of making something that the person likes or needs from scratch and Becky and Rochelle killed it! And Kelsey really did a great job making those bows and giving the sweater new life; I’m surprised she did it all in one day (it would’ve taken me weeks to learn how to do one!)

[@jjfrank]

Rochelle really is THAT woodworking diva.

[@colleenwnek3404]

Love seeing the four of you together!! ✨💪 More please!

[@wanderingbeyondpages]

This was such a nice video to watch - just seeing your thoughtfulness was just heartwarming

[@krabbit2365]

Love all the personalized gifts! The Stanley cup gizmos were so cool and perfect!

[@user-su9wo9kf3r]

Just decided today to crochet my own stockings for me & my husband for our first Christmas!! Very inspired by TSG for sure!

[@Zia_Kristin]

I love when you’re all in a video together! Usually it’s on the vlog channel, but this was the best of both worlds! Is it possible that we will get a vlog of a holiday party or winter activities? I love the WHOLE crew. I would love to see Justin , Nina, and the whole fam celebrating! Everyone should make sure that they’re subscribed to the vlog channel too! ❤❄️🎁

Rochelle if you’re reading this you’re amazing and you’re goals 🙌🏻 I have been so intimidated to start woodworking and you make it look so easy (I know isn’t) I was also so impressed by the cashier stand you made. Would you ever be making a tutorial on that? Also I live in an apartment and I don’t have access to bigger equipment. I would really love for you to do some beginner friendly woodworking projects with beginner friendly tools. I’m so proud of you! Good job girl 💕
