Noelle: goes to so much effort putting together a thoughtful gift that she forgets she is also getting a gift Also Noelle: omg I can't believe someone put so much effort into such a thoughtful gift This was so pure! Love it!
Yay! I'm so glad you liked everything and enjoyed my Ravenclaw theme! I had a lot of fun getting everything together! My husband and I watched this video together and I was 100% answering you back throughout this!
'I'm going to fudge the rules a little bit by picking some things I had aroudn the house' Dutch person here: A lot of Sinterklaas celebrations also have this kind of gift exchange and have a limit of €5 or €10 Euros because the idea is that you buy maybe one thing and then choose a few things you never use anymore on top of that. So I think you are totally in the right here!
Great gift sent to Oz. "I forgot that I have a gift coming" you're adorable. The Ravenclaw presents are marvelous. Thanks for the mood boost this cold Saturday morning. A cup of tea, some mending, and a Noelle video = wonderful. Take care of you. Catch you soon.
Melissa (Hat To Hem) is one of my dearest friends irl! I helped set up her wedding reception centerpieces last year, and each was literature themed. So this Harry Potter-filled box is sooo right up her alley, haha. I love this event, it’s so wonderful!
Noëlle.....😭🤧thank you so much for all the kind words! You are a amazing and beautifull soul. Thank you for your amazing and fun video, it was a joy to watch! I think Eilish will be so happy with her gifts. And I can’t wait to see all the other vids❤️ love you girl!
I'm glad there are other fellow Aussies participating in this gift exchange! So happy that most people were fine with international shipping too otherwise this would have been very limited! That illustration of the Ravenclaw outfit is so beautiful! - can't wait to film my unboxing in a couple weeks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Noelle!
Merry Christmas right back atcha! I can’t wait to watch yours! I think I’ve worked out who you got... now it’s a game to see if I can figure out who got who, based on what information I have from people! 💖
This video is such good vibes! It makes me so happy to see how excited you got over the presents and to see the love we are all spreading ^_^ You put together a wonderful gift box and so did Melissa, it is awesome to see what perfect things you both got with the modest budget we had. Great gift-givers you both! And of course the master gift-giver is Nikki who made all this possible
I adore those leather thimbles! They’re the only kind I’ve ever been able to use and I’ve been hand sewing for 47 years and have tried a plethora of thimbles over the years.
Thank you, Noelle, for the youtube links to all of the other channels! I just subbed to everyone you listed who I had not subbed before. I like that smaller UA-camrs are included with you bigger channels. I am happy and grateful for you all!
I can't say I'm surprised that you're the first to upload anything but I am definitely impressed you are FAST! Your selection of presents is so sweet and that fact that you forget you were gonna get a present as well... kind of a mood haha 😂
How awesome those gifts were. I always think the thought that goes into gift giving is more exciting sometimes then the gift. Just knowing someone put so much thought into what would make you happy.
So fun to share in the excitement! I have clips on order. I always enjoy the things I learn about from you Noelle! They look amazing. Also yay for leather thimbles.
Dang, I need one of those thimbles! I avoid using thimbles at all costs because I have long nails and they can get really annoying to use. I'll have to look for the one you mentioned.
YO. THOSE WONDER CLIPS YOU GOT ARE A GODSEND. I love them so much and I use them for like, almost everything. Omg. I have never seen one of those thimbles and I absolutely need one like, right now. I have an allergy to a lot of metal thimbles and I can't stand feeling my finger being covered so it's literally the perfect thimble jfdjaghglgh. Your joy when opening your box was absolutely adorable and exactly the thing I needed to give me motivation to keep crafting. (Even though I'm forced to take a break right now because of CTS and Tendinitis ; ; ) I hope you have a lot of fun at Dickens fair and fingers crossed you find your chatelaine!
I was missing posts from most of you and knew you were busy at this time of year and waited patiently for your next videos. This idea and all these videos were a great surprise! I loved watching each of them and also learning about other costume designers and seamstresses. You all gave and got great gifts and all of us got equally the same getting to watch your videos of so much kindness and thoughts that went into the gifts and videos. Thank you so much for being a part of this gift exchange. I will share this same comment on each video involved in this costube.
I love these videos! Vicarious costuber secret Santa celebration. Hooray! Best 2020 gift for me is watching the happiness of you giving and receiving thoughtful gifts. What fun!
What a lovely idea! And yes, postage to Australia is expensive and confusing. Even internal postage can sometimes end up just being "Australia" for a week when it should be arriving the next day.
I love that you forgot you were getting a gift and got re-excited about it!! Definitely looking up that thimble, my fingers get so torn up when I'm doing a hand-stitching marathon.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I love the joy you take in getting gifts for others. Also- workroom chandelier. All this plus your love of exploring all kinds of fashion and committing to uplifting others who need representation and true equality. You are my kind of person. XXOO
In Brazil we call this "secret friend" that is so deep in our culture that escalated to a "secret enemy" so the gift is more a prank, but nowadays most people simply pretend they forgot something in the oven and disappear when someones tries to do one of these ahahahaha
What a great idea Nikki had! I have wateched several of the videos, and am impressed with the sincere thoughtfulness of you all. Very nice chandelier!!!!
We always prefer giving gifts rather than recieving. Our Dickens of a Christmas Festival is the 14th and 15th. Summer's dress is close to being done and I'm editing my video still, so hoping to get it all done in time! Loved the Ravenclaw print! Watching that portion almost made me tear up.
@@Costuming_Drama Wow! That's how our Renaissance faire is in May. The downtown Franklin Square probably couldn't handle 5 weekends of Christmas😵. Just hoping for good weather. Last year we endured cold rain both days. We'll see how good my video is. I hate narrating and hearing my own voice. I think most everyone is that way though, so I try to ignore it.
What a fun video! The CosTube community is just so friendly and supportive. I was half expecting to see the magic pin cushion, but then you said that there was a $30 limit. I have two on the way for my SCA mom and sister's Christmas gifts.
I'm so happy to have found you through this secret Santa thing! You have always been Bernadette's Dr. Watson to me because I couldn't remember your name. 🤦♀️ I LOVE your Ironman dress, so amazing! Anywho, I subscribed and can't wait to see what you have cooked up for 2020! I hope your holidays rocked🤗
oooh I've never seen (or at least noticed) those thimbles before, need to look out for one! Love how you forgot about receiving a present, talk about the gift of giving :D
Oh deer! I am binge watching these instead of doing my own gift wrapping...you are probably not interested in the little fact that “tchotchke” is my word of the year. Take that, Konmari!
Happy Saint Nicholas day! Ravenclaw stuff kinda stresses me out because half the commercially available stuff has the wrong mascot on it. Even when I went to universal, all of it was wrong. It’s especially weird for me, considering I’m not even a ravenclaw.
I’ve enjoyed all the CosTube Christmas exchange I’ve gotten to see 👍 it was weirdly enjoyable watching how people do the gift thing...maybe because I’m personally so bad at? Literally to the point that people buy gifts and say it’s from me rather than have me do it myself...
Probably not if it’s raining/I have to go to a birthday party afterwards. I don’t want to have to get it soaked and then do a parking lot change in the rain!
Hi Noel, great video :-) Now one question... where is the rest of it? I only got 12 min of it =D Hahahaha Hope you are already recovered from your jetlag from the UK trip :-) xx
@@Costuming_Drama still can't find the rest of the video ;-) Hahaha Not used to short videos from you anymore, if it's less than 30 min it's not enough :-) xxx
Noelle: goes to so much effort putting together a thoughtful gift that she forgets she is also getting a gift
Also Noelle: omg I can't believe someone put so much effort into such a thoughtful gift
This was so pure! Love it!
🤣💖
Yay! I'm so glad you liked everything and enjoyed my Ravenclaw theme! I had a lot of fun getting everything together! My husband and I watched this video together and I was 100% answering you back throughout this!
Hat to Hem Melissa, I’m so glad the first video from this exchange that I’m seeing is the one you sent. 👏🏻
@@seanmcgcostumes Hi, Sean! That's so funny! Did it surprise you? :D
Hahahah that’s awesome!
Hat to Hem you did such a amazing job! Cause Noëlle is Ravenclaw trash😭 loved the painting you Made ❤️❤️❤️
@@Leeam Awwww Thank you!!! 🥰
Costube is my favorite bunch of relatable fiends.
Hahahah me too!

I wish I could "love" this comment! I will always owe you one for your help that day!
I’ll love it for you!
She’s awesome and it sounds like you are too!
Noëlle.....😭🤧thank you so much for all the kind words! You are a amazing and beautifull soul. Thank you for your amazing and fun video, it was a joy to watch! I think Eilish will be so happy with her gifts. And I can’t wait to see all the other vids❤️ love you girl!
Love you right back!! I can’t wait to see you again!! 💖💖💗
That Ravenclaw pincushion travel kit is amazing, I’m going to need to make myself a Slytherin one 💚🖤
Hi! It was really easy to make. I bought the fabric at Joann's and then I just looked up "Mason Jar Sewing Kit" on UA-cam :)
I'm glad there are other fellow Aussies participating in this gift exchange! So happy that most people were fine with international shipping too otherwise this would have been very limited! That illustration of the Ravenclaw outfit is so beautiful! - can't wait to film my unboxing in a couple weeks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Noelle!
Merry Christmas right back atcha! I can’t wait to watch yours! I think I’ve worked out who you got... now it’s a game to see if I can figure out who got who, based on what information I have from people! 💖
Awww thank you! 🥰 I have no idea who got who so every video is going to be exciting for me! Merry Christmas!

We do not discriminate! My channel is tiny compared to some!! 💖
I’m very much not surprised that you LOVE to give gifts! You just seem like such a gift giver!
💖💖
Wow! Your gift was so wonderful! I really like that pincushion sewing jar. And the watercolor is lovely.
So needed the joy on your face in this vid today. What fun you're having. And yay for new people to follow. (Ravenclaw represent!)
Great items going both ways! Glad you had fun with it.
I can't say I'm surprised that you're the first to upload anything but I am definitely impressed you are FAST! Your selection of presents is so sweet and that fact that you forget you were gonna get a present as well... kind of a mood haha 😂

So fun! Thanks for all the links. Awesome gifts from and to you!
How awesome those gifts were. I always think the thought that goes into gift giving is more exciting sometimes then the gift. Just knowing someone put so much thought into what would make you happy.
Yeah I feel the same way! 💖

They are great!
@@Costuming_Drama do you have a link or a brand of the thimbles? I tried looking through your amazon list before asking. Thanks!

This secret santa is the best at showing us all the costuming channels we might not have known and i'm loving it
Omg that illustration is GORGEOUS! You both did an excellent job, so glad to see this happening!
Awwww thank you! 🥰 I can't wait to see your video!
Me too! I can’t wait to see yours!

I have a bunch of friends there! It’s such a pain in the butt!!
Aww, secret santa is always fun! Themed gifts are always lovely, very jelly of that kisses and pin jar!
I love that you forgot you were getting a gift and got re-excited about it!! Definitely looking up that thimble, my fingers get so torn up when I'm doing a hand-stitching marathon.

This was great! I hope all the Costubers make these videos!
Me too!
I love that she handmade you gifts too. What a wonderful package to receive. Merry Christmas.
how fun to do secret santa, love what you got...that watercolour is fantastic!
Thank you so much! :D
What a great set of gifts! Such a great idea for Nikki to set this all up. She's brilliant!

My holidays have been awesome! I hope yours rocked too!!
YAY FELLOW CALIFORNIAN CANDLE PROBLEMS. YOU FEEL MY PAIN. But seriously you're fabulous and it feels good to have Californian costuber representation
😎✌🏻
Love this! it has all the Christmas time feels. thank you for sharing your smile and just for being your cool but oh so nerdy self.
Eek!! I love EVERYTHING!
All the gifts
Happy Christmas! I for sure know that pressure but honestly, the person getting it is really just happy to be involved! 💖
oooh I've never seen (or at least noticed) those thimbles before, need to look out for one! Love how you forgot about receiving a present, talk about the gift of giving :D
Yaaay! This is so cool!
Oh deer! I am binge watching these instead of doing my own gift wrapping...you are probably not interested in the little fact that “tchotchke” is my word of the year. Take that, Konmari!
Happy Saint Nicholas day!
Ravenclaw stuff kinda stresses me out because half the commercially available stuff has the wrong mascot on it. Even when I went to universal, all of it was wrong. It’s especially weird for me, considering I’m not even a ravenclaw.
Hahahaha yeah. It’s not a raven. 😉 should be an eagle!
I love the nimble thimble!! cannot find them any more *so sad* so I had to make myself something similar
Amazon, yo! You can totally get them there!
I’ve enjoyed all the CosTube Christmas exchange I’ve gotten to see 👍 it was weirdly enjoyable watching how people do the gift thing...maybe because I’m personally so bad at? Literally to the point that people buy gifts and say it’s from me rather than have me do it myself...
Awesome! More people to check out on UA-cam.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR!!! AHHH!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣 I hope you draw my name!!
@@Costuming_Drama Hahahaha I hope someone outside of Australia draws mine so there might be some cultural exchange!
Loved this video 👌
Thank you for the thimble info. As always you are awesome.:)
So cute!!!!
I’m a huge Harry Potter Fan too.
❤
Thank you!
are you dressing up for the Dickens fair? that sounds like a lot of fun.
Probably not if it’s raining/I have to go to a birthday party afterwards. I don’t want to have to get it soaked and then do a parking lot change in the rain!
@@Costuming_Drama oh yeah no that would majorly suck! Hopefully its a nice bright sunny day
Immediately adds a Nimble Thimble to the shopping cart
Yuletide Greetings from Canada!
Happy holidays from your neighbors to the south!! 💖
Hi Noel, great video :-) Now one question... where is the rest of it? I only got 12 min of it =D Hahahaha Hope you are already recovered from your jetlag from the UK trip :-) xx
Hahahaha well it’s 7 am and I’m awake, which never happens cuz I’m nocturnal, so still jet lagged! But getting better.
@@Costuming_Drama still can't find the rest of the video ;-) Hahaha Not used to short videos from you anymore, if it's less than 30 min it's not enough :-) xxx
lol you forgot!
Excuse me, what? A thimble with room for long nails?! To the Amazon-mobile!!
