VLOGMAS DAY 2: online shopping, date night, & bryant park winter village

[@Melitaanahi]

I hope you know we really appreciate the hard work you put into these vlogmas videos

[@ReneeAmberg]

THANK YOU!!

[@user-rr6xk2eg9v]

we do

[@JocelynLehman]

We’re doing all our shopping either local or from small Canadian businesses! Amazon and Walmart have enough money, we wanted to support people who really need it this season ❄️ we are also list people, just to give some ideas!!

[@lindseyandrews2650]

Just ship the gifts directly there and wrap them when you arrive!

[@ReneeAmberg]

my mom and brother will see them :/

[@gayathriganesh6917]

@@ReneeAmbergAmazon let's you choose the option of a gift, while billing, that way your family won't know what's inside. It won't be gift wrapped though.

[@derrickjuinor]

Hi

[@stephanielake11]

Maybe you can put a little star beside their name on the package your sending them so they know it's from you, and not to open it??

[@krystle8322]

@@ReneeAmberg most of the time they put it in another box to send it out so not in the original box.... no-one will know

[@valentinaperez1391]

I love the fact that the vlog is 25 min long! Hoping most vlogs are long ones ❤️🎄 Also, I’m on the west coast so I’ll be late for every vlog :( hahaha but still here every time!!!

[@smeredithmancuso]

Shop local this year!! So many mom and pop places (especially in NYC) need your business because of being hit hard by COVID!! You’ll actually be able to find unique things. Amazon doesn’t need anymore money. That’s how I’m getting my gifts this year.

[@NiharikaGuptasings]

New york city is my dream, especially during christmas. Thanks for making me feeling closer to it and giving all the cozy vibes! also a movie suggestion : christmas chronicles on Netflix. It's really sweet , you will love it.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

New York always looks dazzling at Xmas🤩🎅🦌🎄❄✨!

[@lauramahachek]

the blue wall in your apartment is GORGEOUS

[@stephanielake11]

One year I spent the time right after Christmas in NYC. We stayed for the New Year countdown...even then the Christmas scene was so magical in the city with all the lights and decorations....just love seeing all the Christmas vibes you bring!! Thank you!!

[@jeannelle_]

I suck at buying gifts. I never know what my family wants!! I'm a gift card giving person lmao!! Love the vlog!

[@Courtney6]

Always love your vlogmas vids. I’m shopping all local and small biz this year to help keep them afloat from 2020. Every little bit counts. Heading to an indie bookstore in a minute for some gifts. I also got my mom some things from a crystal shop nearby and Etsy is great for online.

[@raindrop1310]

Woah I'm early Many youtubers haven't even uploaded day 1 and rene is on her 2nd day You go gurl

[@ReneeAmberg]

woo woo! haha thanks xx

[@raindrop1310]

Omg no one has ever replied to me🥺👉👈

[@kaylasmith1530]

YESSS! You're relationship with God growing is one of my favorite parts of watching you. I can't wait for the rest of vlogmas!!

[@ariellongakaarieswagg105]

Don’t feel bad I’m also kind of a Christmas nerd

[@christinarose1650]

A good gift for your mom would be to look up CaitlynMinimalist on Etsy. You can send a pic of your handwriting (saying something) and she engraves it onto jewlery! I did it for my bf but also a good gift for mom's!

[@travellifefree]

I can't believe Bryant Park Grill, it used to always be so crowded... beautiful vlog

[@love59335]

25minutes?! Yaaaaay!! 😍

[@Andrea.reeddd]

Happy to be here early loveeeee the nyc Christmas vibes!!

[@emmabetances8418]

This is absolutely perfect, breakfast and vlogmas ♥️♥️

[@kendall930]

Your and Noah’s stomachs “responding” to the coffee was hilarious 😂

[@Lina-ti6qt]

you look so happy in this, I love it!!!! as for the gifts: can't you order stuff and have it send to a friend's house in Florida? and then when you go home you pick it up. maybe that would be an option! I'm absolutely loving your vlogmas content, lots of love from Germany

[@meriahlynn7240]

This makes me want to go to NYC!!!

[@anaelleelezam2477]

I just love your videos😍

[@nicolelaura7254]

ahh I've always wanted to spend christmas in New York, it's still on my bucketlist. I just moved to France from Canada with my bf while he plays hockey here though so I'm excited for Christmas up in the French Alps

[@loulikestotalk2300]

Me and friends do a mixture of list and things we see that they would like. We normally do one big presents then like 3 small present. X

[@bellaball4226]

i love your videos!!!!

[@MakeupBeliever]

Just had to let you know how much I am enjoying your vlogmas - you truly are a natural at creating a warm and cozy Holiday atmosphere - thanks for doing this! :-)

[@junilieen4745]

[@chanellestrydom3751]

Your Vlogmas is like a Christmas present to all of us! Thank you 🎄❤️

[@ByJenni]

I found an ornament with a Santa Claus wearing a face mask 😷 In a way its hilarious (but tragic) how that sums up the Christmas of 2020 🙈😅 I just imagine it will be a memory to remind you of 2020

[@brerenae3021]

Already making these videos a part of my December morning routine before work 😊

[@ReneeAmberg]

love that

[@xlovemeharder1667]

Bryant Park Christmas Village is my favorite!!!

[@KatesThings]

If you’re online shopping have them delivered there. Lots of places have a gift wrap option too

[@martinaouteiral4783]

obssesedddd with your vlogmas, NYC looks so good on you!! 🤩🎅🦌🎄

[@Mikalatraveller]

Not sure which dry shampoo you use but Batiste never leaves my hair stiff.

[@tiapedrola1620]

OMG! Christmas in NYC looks stunning 🎄definitely on my bucket list to spend Christmas there one year!

[@larissasouza7589]

I loved it

[@camera0bsessedx]

christmas in nyc is the best, im excited to see more of it from your vlogs!!

[@jasminee149]

You’re actually getting me in the spirit this year i live here too (nyc) and i forgot how pretty it is outside haha all i do is work but I’m gonna stop being a grinch now lmao

[@ReneeAmberg]

haha 🤣

[@browngirl5905]

You should go to Macy’s and 5th ave. , the Christmas decor is beautiful as always.

[@makaylacaroline]

The L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara is an exact dupe for the Too Faced Better Than Sex and it's way cheaper! It's my favorite mascara

[@lee58468]

Love seeing these videos!

[@shay2210]

I like online shopping it is fun

[@Julia-in6my]

Love vlogmas ❤️

[@narutoqueen7763]

THESE VLOGS MAKE MY DAYYYYYY 🤩💖

[@kiki-oh7hi]

still obsessed w where you got the Hush shirt!?

[@anagreve9327]

have you tried the batiste dry shampoo? that one is my favorite cause it removes oil completely and you can still move your hair. i tried the one you have once and it felt like i had spray on my hair

[@audreymacdonald8627]

your videos really inspire me to get in the productive zone I love it.

[@Mikalatraveller]

If you need a Target fix, the one in the 120s on the East side is basically a full store. Also the one in the 200s, just near the 1 train.

[@lori6704]

I miss that 205th one! I used to go all the time when I lived in the Heights.

[@karissa.nicole]

Ask a friend if you can use their prime account and ship things to a friend/family in Florida and pick up from there! That was you won’t have the issue of them seeing what you ordered online and the packages won’t be delivered to them

[@katherineschmoyer5042]

Yay! Love seeing some of New York! 🙌

[@aftonblair]

I used to have the same issue with ordering from Amazon (my mom and I shared her Prime account as well). However, I just recently discovered that there's an option to share Prime benefits with another non-Prime Amazon account! It's been game-changing especially around the holidays. 👌 Also, I love that you're doing Vlogmas again this year! It's been a nice thing to look forward to. Thank you for everything you do. ❤️

[@danibostonburbs]

Heyy🖐Renee😊Discovered U today so I subscribed! On actual Black Friday I went alone instore shopping for 2&1=2 hours! Then on 11/29 I did my Target online shopping finally able to get a lot of clothes for myself that were not available before Black Friday but they extended their sale which I'm sure ya know until Monday. I was excited to get items I needed. Look👀 forward to all of ur Vlogmas'🎅🎄🤶 Luv Dani from Boston

[@melonmadd273]

i love love LOVE the christmas vibe in your apartment 🎄🎄

[@vickyjwalters]

Love seeing New York at Christmas!! xxx

[@joymae]

Aw I love the bryant park winter village its great to see that it's still lively this year

[@ellaro6897]

I live on the west coast so it’s exciting to wake up to your videos💛 your videos are so relaxing.

[@fiorg2541]

Hi Renee! Where did you find that adorable advent calendar?

[@dzimka7576]

yall should do vlogmmer for july man...

[@amymcintyre7032]

That was a fun vlog to watch.

[@leslier.1236]

It probably feels stiff because you’re supposed to brush the dry shampoo throughout your hair. Not just spray and leave it in one area if that makes sense. It makes my scalp itchy so I don’t use it too often. I also would rather just wash my hair than use dry shampo!

[@eatpraylovetube2146]

Maybe you can order and ship it to a location pick up in the Florida area... just thought I'd share... thanks for your content....stay safe & God Bless You & Your Family!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Katieskatesgreat]

My family isn’t seeing each other this year because of covid so we’re just ordering gifts online and having them delivered to each other’s houses

[@joshrichards9760]

i literally discovered your channel this morning, and i have been binge watching your videos and omg i am in love with you and your cozy nyc life...you are living my dream life babe

[@ComeJoinMyJourney]

The Bryant Park Winter Market is so cute! I went last year and loved it!

[@kellymcfadden7514]

Love that lipstick on you! And where did you get your curling iron? Oily skin is a good thing! You will stay younger looking when you get older! And be careful not to get too much sun, that really ages skin.

[@spwaff.]

i did most of my christmas shopping on qvc.com . i have the app .. they sell so much different stuff and for way cheaper . plus i got some stuff from amazon . 🙃 *edit* not to sound rude but any particular reason why you don’t wear your hair curly more often ? 😊

[@TVD_Ash3]

I just found your channel! And subed right away! My dream is to go to New York at Christmas time! So beautiful! My actual phone wallpaper is actually a picture of New York covered in snow (probably weird to say) lol 😆 but I literally have it set year round because my goal is to travel there!

[@shinytomoon]

Yesss a 25 min vlog, I love long vlogs. We have lists but we also are all pretty intuitive with what we all like. Though this year we agreed on no gift exchanging. I don't need anything (I mean I just xmas gifted myself an iPad Air but I would never ask for a $750 gift) and we can't see each other and spend time together so we'll do it next year. My older sis and I both like 'experience' gifts. Wine, coffee, candles, spa or salon certificates, stuff like that.

[@sreedevisn4327]

First.waiting to see all places in NY😊

[@browngirl5905]

Is that the Target on 14th st? It looks like it, anyway try the one in Bronx on 700 Exterior st. . I like this one it’s huge and has lots of stuff.

[@aisahensip8858]

Hereee for the second day right after watching the first one! I love #ReneeXmasinNYC

[@charlotte6524]

where did you get your tote bag? i'd love the link!!!

[@xnawary]

Yay first comment, have a nice day pretty!

[@ReneeAmberg]

you too!

[@achaladenagamage6362]

I love NYC. But I can’t visit this year because of Covid. I’m living it though with your Vlogmas. Thank you ❤️💚

[@zainabahmad5136]

Big love to you and your channel all the way from Saudi ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@krystle8322]

Girl Google target in your neighborhood the one you go to cant be the only one around....and you can order online with target.... next tip, if you order christmas presents online they put it in another box so you cant see what it is. So order online and let them send it to your family and tell them not to open it if they get packages at their home with your name....

[@clairesauzel]

Beanies look sooo cute on you!!💗

[@melisaflowers2293]

We do lists. I also keep notes of things people say they want while we are out shopping so I buy an additional gift or surprise for them also. Sephora, Amazon and Ross are a few places we shop at. Omg!!! Those pastries look so good 😋

[@SallyAlexandriaAlexParakeets]

Good video. Happy holidays. Happy New Year.

[@nicollopez408]

Rogue? Lol it’s roougee like lipstick lol

[@swan8697]

My fam and I do amazon lists for one another and send it to one another. (Especially Amazon this year bc of covid) so we can avoid going to stores.

[@1216mindy]

Marshalls and TJ Max in Chelsea have a good selection of blankets and Christmas stuff;)

[@kimscooterjamieson]

Love the video. Our Vlogmas is up as well. Kimberley Dawn. What were the last advent calendars you opened. I want to get some. Sending much love ❤️

[@erickascencio4706]
