Wrap Christmas Presents With Me!

[@julieann5196]

Hey Becca, I like wrapping videos. Yes please do more. You do a good job on wrapping. I'm not that great at it, only if it's like a square box or I'll just put the gifts in a Christmas bag. Looking forward to the Cricut video.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Thank you!! I’m definitely not symmetrical but the gifts are covered and that’s the important part lmao! But I’ve been the sole gift wrapper for 13 christmases so I’m very used to wrapping lots of gifts lmao! And now that I’m feeling better, I can definitely get started on the cricuting!! 😊😊

[@cristkilpatrick3970]

That's a great idea for each person to have their own wrapping paper. I will probably do bags and decorative boxes this year. I don't mind wrapping, I just like to change up now and then. The kids are going to have a blast with their presents!! Do more wrapping!! 😁😁

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I’ve done it a couple of years, just makes it easier when grabbing presents so everyone knows who’s is who’s and it also makes it a little fun! 😊😊

[@Debbiethediycraftygirl]

I DO enjoy wrapping videos also enjoy videos that give you gift ideas for different people of all ages I am a wrapping perfectionist

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Glad I could give you some ideas!! 😁😁 I’m not a wrapping perfectionist at all lol, I don’t have the patience lmao!

[@Whiskerseasons33]

Good video I like watching these kinds of videos and you do get different gift ideas as well

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Glad I could help with some ideas!! 😁😁

[@Tinuske]

Hi Becca. That was fun. Do more wrapping video's. Your trousers looks good. Have an awesome day too. Bye 👋

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it!! 😁😁

[@Tinuske]

@BeccaOnABudget It was really cozy 🎁😘

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I wrapped mine in the Summertime. I do it 6 months in advance.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

That’s smart lol although I don’t think I’d be able to keep them hidden for that long because I store them all in the camper lmao

[@michaelcaywood6070]

@ Just hide them the one place where they don’t go in. In your closet or your private bathroom.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

The only place I really have to hide them is in the camper lol cuz they don’t go in there during the fall and winter, but there’s not really any good hiding places in the house and none that lock lmao. They know better than to open them but they’d peek at them wrapped and I don’t even want them to see the stack of them wrapped until Christmas morning. I like the wow factor hahaha. But I definitely need to start buying them earlier on like at the end of summer just so I don’t have to spend as much in a short period of time. I got better this year tho, I started at the end of September, early October.

@ The smaller ones., you can put under your bed.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Thank you!! 😁😁

[@carmennunnally5776]

I got exhausted just looking at you wrapping

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Lmao, that’s why I do it in increments hahaha

[@carmennunnally5776]

@BeccaOnABudget 😆 🤣 😂

[@BeccaOnABudget]

My friend Jess always waits till the last minute for wrapping so I usually always help her out but it’s like a bagillion presents all spread out, takes us hours lmao. Last year her daughter came to help too with her son and husband’s gifts. Now that’s exhausting lmao. Me I wrap a little at a time so I don’t overwhelm myself lmao!

[@testsforchuckecheeses9514]

Ware did you get the Sanrio wallpaper sooo cute

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I got it from Marshall’s! 😁

Hi, I wish more and more parents would take the same philosophy b as you about the phone situation. I think too many kids get them too early in their life. And they're not ready to accept responsibility and stay out of spaces that they shouldn't be in. I think that every parent should be Telling their kids which is what you're doing. It's making a rule where there are certain things they are not allowed to do. I am really happy that you are standing your ground and making sure that her phone is taken away from her at bedtime. At anytime that you feel she shouldn't be on it. Also, just watch Her closely. Because they can do things behind your back without you, knowing it. Every kid does it. I'm sure we did it too, but I'm really pleased with the way you are handling this. The best way you can possibly do it. Don't worry about anybody else. You just do what you need to do as a parent. You do what you have to do? Maybe even a set of headphones with the phone and the case. Can you cut you know if she's allowed to listen to music then? Yeah, but I hope other people don't write you about the fact that your rules are strict about the phone I would not give a kid a phone under 15 years old. I have a niece Earth. I need a great-niece and a great-nephew. That has been allowed a phone for quite a few years now. I don't agree with it unless they are needing something for school work. They don't need one at that age, but your daughter is the right age to take responsibility and to do what is right? And I'm here, you as a parent will do exactly what's right. So I'm highly highly happy about what you're doing. I don't have kids but I don't want any child to have a anything at a young age like that. I feel it's too young. I feel it's, you're tempting to do the wrong thing. Anyway, good luck to you with your gift giving for all your kids very nice

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Thank you 😊

[@ktina8505]

I gave up on cheap wrapping paper. I bought the more expensive wrapping paper on clearance last year after Christmas and got a brand new roll at a yardsale. Thin paper stresses me out lol.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

It stresses me out too sometimes lol. I should look for wrapping paper sales after Christmas this year so I’m better prepared for next year!

[@ktina8505]

@BeccaOnABudget I have also started wrapping smaller presents together and sometimes I don't even wrap the stocking presents. They're hidden good enough lol. It's definitely worth buying after Christmas.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I don’t wrap the advent presents either, not with wrapping paper at least, just in tissue paper lol

[@angelariley5163]

gives me ideas for my fam lol do u buy your pets stuff and wrap it?

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Aww I’m glad I could give you some ideas!! 😁😁 and I don’t, we used to when Brooklyn was a baby/toddler but it’s just too much to think of the pets too haha. I do buy them some goodies just because throughout the year sometimes tho lol

[@andrewlittlejohn6126]

wrap me something lol jk cool video 👍

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Lmao!! Thank you!

[@angelariley5163]

do u allow your kids to play video games?

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I do 😊

[@horrorfan7148]

Doesn't your family watch the videos? They will know what they have if they do

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Not my husband and kids thankfully. My mom and my friend Jess are the only ones who watch and it’s not very often.

[@louannruybal2149]

It's a relaxing video, but I still don't get all the gifts and everyone gets the same amount raised in a different generation.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I’m an only child so I didn’t have siblings to compare to but I try to spend the same amount on each kid and roughly have the same amount of gifts to unwrap so nobody feels less than. I understand that there’s cost differences in a lot of things but I feel it’s more fun for them if they all have around the same amount of presents to open, no kid likes to watch their sibling unwrap 30 gifts while they only have like 15 so that’s why I lump some of the little things together

[@julieann5196]

@@BeccaOnABudget I did the same for my girls. Tried to spend the same amount of money and have the same amount of presents, it wasn't always easy but I did it. Even now when they are grown I do the same thing.

[@BeccaOnABudget]

I do it every year. I don’t want any of my kids to feel left out

[@Tanmicmak]

Does Royce believe in Santa? Or maybe does he get just one gift of Santa and rest off parents?

[@BeccaOnABudget]

He does. When I label them I write a few from Santa and the rest from us. He’s been told that Santa gives us the presents to wrap which is why Santa has the same wrapping paper haha

[@Tanmicmak]

❤ hope he has a magical christmas , its just the best when they still believe

[@BeccaOnABudget]

Thank you!! 😁😁 he definitely will, they all will!! 😊😊
