[@vamps4me]

I get so excited to watch your videos . Can hardly wait to see the stocking stuffer video. Have a great day.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I LOVED the little ending tidbit there. I don't think your "awkward" moments are awkward at all. I think they are so cute!!

[@DaniButtons]

I loveeee the pop up tape dispensers! I have the wrist ones and for anyone who has dollar trees I actually found them and refills for only a dollar! I stocked up! Love wrapping paper and the process of wrapping presents! Great haul!

[@Jen39x]

I love, love wrap & bows & all that stuff. We have gone from exchanging with everyone (14 in the family) to drawing names. I really miss wrapping all those gifts. Thanks for your haul, it reminded me of several years ago.

[@jamiemonroe30]

YAY THIS WAS AWESOME!!!! I really really want to see a STOCKING STUFFER VIDEO PLEASEEE So excited about that video. I would also love to see your craft room when its all ready because i love Scrapbooking and such and it would be so fun to see:) Thanks Jamie

[@Kischa07]

Oh my gosh... that Gift Wrap Wonderland is like a dream come true for me!!! That's amazing! I'm visiting the website to suffice...but you're right NOTHING beats the real thing! LOVED the ending! Ha ha! Strike a pose!

[@pineappleguru1980]

Loved this haul! My family used to love wrapping paper, etc. etc. and they are artists when it comes to wrapping presents! Love seeing what you got!

[@DawnsDeviousReads]

I just love watching your videos Jen! Thanks for posting and I can't wait to see more of your holiday videos! Thanks again for taking time out of your day to film, I for one always appreciate your videos!

[@Debbie462]

Oh I love all your wrapping paper choices Jen I just love Christrmas gift wrap That little owl gift bag is adorable as is your little owl ornament And i also love your Santa tin

[@acoupleoflaughs]

This just got me so excited for all of your upcoming holiday videos!!!

[@CyndiAKADisneyqueen]

I totally used your idea for different wrapping paper for each family member this year! I wish we had a container store near us. Hopefully at some point I will get to one in person.

[@Jakefromstatefarm-cu6kz]

Because of you I strive to make my home more homely. Thank you. Because of you I can't wait to go shopping for Xmas. Thank you!

[@shirvada1000]

WOW! thats a lot of paper! Y ou got a lot of gifts to wrap!! love it, keep up the great videos! I LOVE the holiday vids!

[@bitOluck85]

Lol...Cute ending! I can't wait to see your stocking stuffer video, the stocking is my favorite part on christmas morning.

[@sumikatti]

Yes gift wrapping video. I would love to see how you wrap neat gifts..sometimes mine just end up looking quite sloppy..and I don't know what to do differently.

[@oNeLoVe111809]

I love the end when you showed how you do a thumb nail photo my son just happened to be watching when you started it and he goes "She's so funny." We were giggling together watching you try to hold all that paper! Thanks for that sneak peek look my son really enjoyed it!

[@Kraftykathy29]

Love your Videos as always! I love papers & things "office supplies" I wish I had a container store near me. I love how your Family Celebrates Holidays... :)

[@BubblyDayz]

man i wish we had a container store around here!!!!!! THANKS YOU JEN for introducing me to Lush, The container store, Ulta, Fortune cookie soap, and motivating me to be organized!

[@Snaphotsthroughtime]

Oh my gosh, you made my day :) I have been waiting for you to do your Container store haul for this year :)

[@Callidiscope]

Aaahhh! Love this video! I can't wait for the stocking stuffer video - the one you did last year is still one of my favorites of yours!

[@mamadawg365]

II just love your videos!! Organization is not a strong point of mine and I find your videos inspirational and facinating...keep up the good work!!

[@meredithbancroft1958]

Jen - As a lover of wrapping paper I would love to see your collection of 'keepsake' wrapping paper that you've collected thus far.

[@SweetAndGlitter]

Probably my most anticipated video from you ever!!! Lol. Well done! Thx for sharing. :)

[@lovinbonjovi]

I adore wrapping paper so much, it makes me happy :) Loved the ending of this video, lol! Your smile is beautiful.

[@bstitcher7]

love the container store! your makeup and jewelry look really pretty on you. :) compliments your skin

[@umadriana09]

I love this! So super happy it's finally up. Thanks for accompanying me in ultimate holiday cheer!

[@ucigirl06]

I love gift wrap so much. I really enjoyed this video!

[@leighannmauk]

I just LOVE the white owl ornament! like you said he looks grumpy! LOL BTW your makeup looks great, the lip color is perfect.

[@notefromrobin]

Very cute! I usually make (reusable) fabric bags for larger gifts, but I look for a few generic red-and-white papers and ribbons (polka dots, stripes, abstract) that will work for Valentine's Day, too. Double-duty and cost-effective - especially when papers are half-price after Christmas!

[@franciscalderon3537]

Love how you love the little details .

[@TheChemicalRomantics]

Loved it! We don't have the container store here in the uk (I think) but we're doing the annual family Christmas garden centre trip tomorrow to stock up!

[@newsylein]

Hey Jen, now you totally put me into christmas moode :-) Unfortunately I have to pass my last exam for becoming a teacher. But soon I am going to hit the stores for decorating. You are such an inspiration. Hugs from Munich :-)

[@vampiregal616]

Jen, this may be random but literally, if my subscription page was full of your videos I'd like die of happiness lol I actually make sure that nothing is around to disturb me while I enjoy your videos, love you :)

[@thejarvis77]

I love your videos on Christmas! Would love to see your gift wrapping video!

[@soccermama522]

I did go to the Container Store last week and saw the stocking stuffers. I got that USB Hub Man and some of the ziplock baggies as well as the goodie bags ones with the twisty tie on it. I was thinking of using the twisty tie bags for the 4oz candles as Teacher Gifts for the kids. To me Spiced Apple Toddy smells similar to Leaves candle. But they fit perfectly, right. But I wish I had picked up the cloth bags. At the time I couldn't think of how to use them. 3Wick candle would've totally worked.

[@maip2005]

great ideas jen! I really enjoyed the different varieties the container store has, will check out their website. Love the ending..hehe you making thumbnails. looking forward to the rest of your christmas series.

[@solsis90]

I really want to see a video of you wrapping gifts!!! I suck at wrapping, it always comes out with weird shapes and tape sticking out everywhere!

[@EEN63]

I LOVE gift wrap & all the coordinating/creative accoutrements! I tend to go all out when wrapping for Christmas & special occasions. I know you love your pop-up tape but you might also like using a weighted tape dispenser (from any office supply). Mine has space for two rolls of tape. I use a clear & a double sided, so there is never tape showing on the package. (I know, I’m wacky that way & love it all neat & tidy! And of course no raw edges, only crisp & folded edges. It’s a sickness - lol.)

[@lvngu2]

so excited to watch! love your vids! you make my day!

[@WithWonder]

Oh yeah, someone suggested that last year...I'll have to do that!

[@n1Pamperedgirl]

love your outtakes at the end of videos! you are too funny!

[@glitterchiglam2855]

I really like the vintage wrap. I have to say I am a little envious because we don't have a container store in Canada. If we did I woudd spend a fortune! Thanks for sharing...

[@elsiegutz]

Can't wait for the stocking stuffer and holiday prep videos. Would also love to see how how the gifts look under the tree once they r wrapped. How big r your stockings! It seems like u have a lot of stuff to stuff into the :). Ps. Notice u r wearing more makeup since I started watching, looks pretty. But u also look very pretty natural. Enjoying the videos.

[@liveintentionally1]

hahah the stills at the end are perfection

[@dancefever1978]

I totally know what you mean about matching wrapping paper! I actually match the wrapping paper to the colors I use for my decor. LOL I have one type for my husband and one type for the rest of the family. :-) The ending of your video cracked me up!

[@maryssaraptor]

I was so surprised to find a HUGE selection of the most beautiful Hanukah wrapping papers there! Usually stores only have a limited selection but the Container Store has tons of gorgeous ones!

[@meldan526]

I'm just curious...what will you do with the wrapping paper that you save in 20+ years? Will you give them to your kids as keepsakes?

[@InasNorden]

Hi Jen. One question: what is that for a rack behind you? Is that specially for giftpaper? Can you buy it so? Or is that selfmade?? It is so practically and I have so much giftpaper. Thank you for answer.

[@shimmerysummersun]

Looking forward to the stocking video Jen!

[@SunKissedLove86]

Just wondering, how much money do you give to your postman, wate management etc.?? That is a really good idea but I don't know how much to give

[@lurveit]

I agree - the vintage one is so sweet. Also jealous we don't have a container store and unfortunately nothing like it in Australia either.

[@mommykateandpk]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! The thumbnail "awkward" video insert was so cute! Thanks for sharing!

[@mommaluff2132]

.Great haul Jen! I really look forward to watching your videos, you have such a beautiful smile, you are very good at your KZbin job :)

[@BeautyDiva100]

A couple of years ago I had a very small sized gift for my mom. I used one of the tiny gift bags and hung it on her tree as a decoration!

[@croppinmama1054]

Loved your haul...I would love to walk into a container store, but have not lived near one for years. With all the beautiful wrapping paper you buy, here's a tip for you: 3M double-stick tape makes your presents look so professional.

[@iheartdc1985]

which wraping paper did you get for you collection this year?

[@NYVirgo1972]

The container store is my happy place- it beats out beach sunsets and any mountain top! Lol

[@missninafresa22]

So you buy gifts in addition to the stocking stuffers?

[@MsAlexisMac]

Jen - I would love a wrapping video and really want to see under your tree!

[@mashelly1000]

I love gift wrapping supplies! I know it's silly to some, but most people like the attention to the little details! I wish I had a Container Store near me--but I am definately going to their website! Really looking forward to your video on stocking stuffers--I am stumped as to what to buy for my teen boys this year--they're 16 and 19. Any ideas?

[@TheLadyTWells]

Where did you get the gift-wrap holders that are in back of you in this video? Smart idea to have it in your office.

[@TheAlexsdsd]

Jen you are too cute, I loved the ending. Great haul, wonderful ideas

[@CreativeJourneys036]

You are the Rachel Ray of Decorating and Organizing - you know how she gathers all her ingredients at one time. LOL that was funny..

[@PointingTheWeigh]

I still have a sheet of unused Christmas wrapping paper from the 70's WOW! How wrapping paper has changed.

[@jamielovescupcakes]

I have a feeling that you have a special method to wrap gifts, I would love to see a tutorial on how you do it!

[@shininstar44]

you are such a generous person. it's so nice to see :)

[@Valjbakesalot1]

Very well done, Jen! =) You are always a pleasure to watch. We have a Container Store in Schaumburg, IL. LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing. =)

[@kimmiebowlinjg]

Hey Jen! I bought that same owl last week at Von Maur! Hes toooo cute!!

[@southerncouponista]

Loved the haul! Awesome goodies :)

[@princessbatnanas]

I am very ambivalent when it comes to wrapping paper... I love the different colours and textures, but at the same time the treehugger in me is very worried of how much paper ends up in the trash bag after Christmas! So what I do is I try to use reusable packing material like furoshiki or packing a gift in a gift to avoid the waste. But those papers are just gorgeous!

[@TheLadyTWells]

The Pop up tape is the best item for wrapping gifts. I love mine

[@CMJudy]

Love all your posts. Will you do a new Gift Wrap Wonderland post this year?

[@sandralee4087]

Awaiting excitely for more Christmas videos!

[@dancefever1978]

I also wanted to say that it is very thoughtful of you and Don to give money to the UPS and Fed-Ex guys, sanitation guys, mailman and all. You are very caring and giving. :-)

[@jcmnbh]

Love the ending, that was great!

[@WithWonder]

Great idea!

[@kelligirl724]

Neat idea with saving a roll of wrapping paper each year!

[@LdaniS87]

loved the ending you're so funny Jen :) and please do a gift wrapping video!

[@shoppingismythang]

Thanks Jen, loved the end!! Sooo cute:)

[@sok098]

Yes, yes, yes do a gift wrap video! :) Bows, Boxes & Paper Oh My!! :)

[@Pairslover18]

[@easternstar12]

[@Prettyplums]

[@nikkij4657]

[@Jill_251]

Hi Jenn, thanks to U, I've been organizing my home like crazy. My hubby look at me wierd for labeling everything (ha what does he knows lol) my 10 yrs. old girl say ,to her dad u can blame YT & Jen. So funny!

[@simplychic83]

The end is hilarious! lol

[@Savin2StayHome]

JEN!!!! Would you please do a quick video on gift ideas---showing what you do for your "Community Helpers"? I am a new SAHM and my children LOVE watching the mailman, recycling, waste management crews work each week. They get big HONKS and can't wait to bundle up each morning to wave and watch. I'd like to do something special...and I know you do such a great job showing appreciation to your "help"ers...Thank you SOOOO much for all you do ;)

[@fluffingtonmanor]

Loved the 'outtake' of sort at the end. It's a good thing we don't have the Container Store in the UK; I'd have zero money!!

[@sweet89brunette]

Jen, You are very blessed! I love how you are very giving :) I hope one day I can live a life you live! xo-k

[@helenheyes4281]
