Please Mia do a bread machine video following along to that vintage bread book u got and new recipes u discovered! I know u do gluten free or other type of breads so I just want a whole video it would be so fun. I actually got a bread machine cause of u lol
"I don't ever want to sound like I'm bragging." *Proceeds to show the most normal yet thoughtful gifts ever.* The only thing you're bragging on is how sweet your family is. ❤
Oh my gosh I'm the artist who made the duck with the leaf umbrella keychain and bee sticker! 🥹❤ This is so surreal I've been watching your videos for almost 8 years!! I'm so glad you like them!
Oh my goodness it’s Beatrix Potter books. Peter Rabbit is the main character, and these stories were written in the Lake District UK. They are beautiful stories and there are films now too which are fab! You would love all the collection I’m sure. Xx
I like that your family is about thoughtful gifts rather than super expensive or trendy. Things chosen for you because they know you and you matter to them.
I never get gifts anymore because my parents have passed and I don't really have any other family and my husband and I are quite poor BUUUUUUT this year!!!! My besties sent me a GIANT like 30 pound box of American treats. I moved from the US to France 5 years ago and am constantly homesick. So they got me all kinds of stuff that I love. Peanut butter!! Midnight Milky Ways! Cheerios!! Just all the little stuff you miss when you can't have it anymore. Then they snuck in a blindbox of squishmallows because they know how much I love them. ❤❤❤😭😭 Truly the best friends in the world.
Hey! I'm sorry to hear about your situation but I'm glad you have such a nice and sweet friend 😍 I'm just writing this in case you didn't know but I'm French and I've noticed recently that there was quite a selection of American sweets at my local Auchan supermarket (Peanut Butter, Cheerios, Reese's, Fluff)... Of course it's limited and maybe a bit expensive but when you miss home to much it could help you feel a bit better 😊 I think it's the same thing in every Auchan 😊
She’s incredible… do you know how insanely difficult it is to have a normal human conversation with a camera? lol it’s so hard dude and she’s just so natural and normal. A lovely human ❤
I love that you’re a super popular UA-camr and your haul is the most down to earth, normal, thoughtful products and you aren’t throwing affiliate links for all this expensive stuff on the screen
My favorite gift I got this year. My baby brother (15yo) handmade me a knife block in his shop class after he saw I didn't have one 😊 it's not perfect but it's so sweet (especially from a teenage brother) that I will cherish it always ❤
I(41) made my parents a beautiful cutting board when in high school. It now sits on my kitchen table (also my parents from my childhood). They loved it so much and I love that I now get to have it. Handmade gifts are the best. My 9 year old makes us gifts for Christmas every year. We look forward to them and quite honestly they’re our favorite gifts to open.
What I really want for next Christmas (or this, it's not too late :D) is see what Mia gifted for her family. I think she definitely put a lot of thought into it, and it would be so interesting to watch! And if the family wants to come together on UA-cam and share their thoughts together, I think it would be the best video in this world!
Mia, I've been cooking for 60+ years and the only pans to withstand metal utensils are stainless steel AND cast iron. My cast iron is so well seasoned you can fry eggs without sticking. I have one Teflon pan for crepes, nothing else touches my crepe pan. For Christmas I received new cosmetics and nail care items. I gave myself the gift of fine jewelry, a five piece set, double earrings (double ear piercings), a ring, pendant and bracelet. I am thankful I've lived a fairly long life and God has always protected me. Praise for mercy and grace and Jesus sacrifice. God bless you 💖✝
same! last year i asked all my friends to give me stainless steel pans as christmas gifts. and after a whole year of heavy everyday use they look exactly the same as new. after 20+years of using ikea pans this honestly felt like a miracle
As a newly minted 40 year old I feel like I'm at a stage where I'm finally just letting myself get whatever things I want. So sickeningly cute and adorable things? Yes. Childrens toys that make me nostalgic from my childhood? Yes. Dolls and things because I just like the look of them and want to surround myself with things I can admire? Yes. I will read fanfiction and manhwa and watch k-dramas and old animated disney movies and feel no shame because I like romances and I like happy endings. Feels like it took me far to long to get to this point, so I'm glad to hear you're enjoying things regardless of age. And wow all those practical and personal gifts are great! You have a wonderful family who know you well.
I’m 32 and my husband is 34. We’ve totally experienced this in the past year. We’ve become like our childhood selves again. We’ve started hobbies that make us happy and don’t care about judgement. We listen to each other go on long tangents about our particular interests and it brings us both joy. I feel like we’ve both started healing our inner child. It’s a beautiful thing!
1) Stainless steel pans are an excellent choice to their longevity, and you can use metal utensils. While they are costly, they are worth the investment, particularly if you consider that you will not have to replace them frequently. 2) I trust you replaced the toothbrush head before using your mother's toothbrush. My favorite gift this year was my bridal ring set! My husband told me to pick out whatever I wanted, and I got a vintage looking set that became my most precious gift! We got married almost 9 years ago and I never had a set of my own. So, this was an incredible surprise.
Stainless steel is end game cookware. Once you go stainless you never go back. It's like taking the training wheels off your kiddie bike, throwing the kiddie bike in the trash, and picking up a fresh Italian road bike.
I have the feeling everyone were trying to give something that you truly like, it didn't matter the prize, they didn't pretend to give smth fancy or extremely expensive and they were just looking for your happiness. That's impresive and generous. Such a good family
One of the very few legit honest and genuinely lovely people on the whole of UA-cam today! Proud of your integrity especially after such amazing and deserved success. ❤️🇨🇦
These videos always make me nervous because for the last couple Christmas my family and I haven’t been able to get a lot of presents; but yours are always so refreshing. I love how thoughtful all the gifts are, nothing is absurd or over the top, just wholesome vibes always ❤
Hi Mia, My favorite thing I got this year for Christmas came from my Granddaughter. When she asked what I wanted, I told her I wanted a hippopotamus for Christmas. Bless her heart, she got me the softest stuffed hippopotamus. It means the world to me.
Obsessed with the fact mia said she’ll use the hand massager for like AN HOUR after editing. THAT is self care, mama. You’re worth it! And so is your hand health!
I think you need to do a video where you interview your mom about 1) being a mom & what her philosophy is & 2) how is was raising you & your brothers, goals she had etc . Some people have abusive parents - I could watch your videos all the time because I just love your mom & the whole family. You are so lucky. I have a Hexclad pan & am disappointed. Eggs stick to it, everything sticks to it. I cured mine twice. That being said, in reading reviews I have seen some like mine & some saying its great. Good eggs , that will tell you. If they stick send it back.
Been using our Hexclad pans for a couple years now, and so far they have stood the test of time! Not even a scratch on them!! And we are chaotic chefs.... Love You!
Hey Mia, massage therapist here that also deals with hand fatigue! For your hand and wrist health after a long day at the computer, try not focusing on just the hands by themselves, but also the forearms for a more complete tension release. Most of the muscles and tendons that allow the delicate movements you use when doing computer work is located in the forearms, so they need some love and attention too! I'd personally recommend seeing a MT who specializes in office workers - even if you don't see them on a regular basis, they can show you where your problem areas are, and techniques to do self work on them at home. Theres also a ton of great resources on YT as well ☺️ Enjoy the hand massager! I just may have to get one for myself 😂
After seeing all the Tik Tok influencer "Christmas Haul" vidoes I appreciate you even more! This is so wholesome and personal. I love how humble and attentive you and your family are
this!!! her and soph are the only youtubers whose hauls i like to watch bec thr gifts j show how close everyone is, so humble and just seems more dear (if that makes sense)
Aww the Peter Rabbit Bowl is adorable! Tate gets major Brother points for finding this great find and knowing your style. 😉 Watching your yearly “What I Got For Christmas” is always refreshing and enjoyable to watch. All of your stuff is fun, unique and practical. Each gift you are so grateful from your Family and love showing and describing in depth each piece you got. No crazy super expensive hauls to gloat and show off. It’s so refreshing. Thanks Mia for being set apart in a positive way compared to other Influencers.❤
BEEN WITH YOU MIA SINCE 2019!!!! tysm for being there for me when others weren’t. And Mama Maples feels like such a safe space for me, so grateful to have found your channel during difficult times 😊❤🍁
I just want to say that I love when people share what they received for Christmas! Gifting is also one of my love languages - finding or making the perfect small present and wrapping it beautifully gives me so much joy. Life is so short and I love to remind my loved ones that I absolutely adore them, and Christmas is just another opportunity to show them that I care. Thanks for sharing, Mia! You are loved, my dear.
Happy New Year Mia 🎉 I love both channels and watch every video you do. My fav are the Geese with the polka dot boots as well and the hand massager but loved all your gifts. I had that peter rabbit bowl when I was a child and used to have my cereal in it (thanks for taking me back to a childhood memory) great idea to put a succulent in it! ❤
In regards to pots and pans you have to get fully stainless steel. The one you showed still had a coating so just look for all stainless steel (inside and out) It takes practice with them because you have to preheat the pan for it to be nonstick so just be patient with it ❤
The rabbits on the ceramic are from Beatrix Potter books! The most popular one being Peter Rabbit. Some of my favorite stories as a little kid! Such a cute ceramic!! 🥰🥹
My favourite gift this year was a letter my father-in-law wrote us. Three years ago my own father died, three months after I started dating my boyfriend, whose support still to this day keeps me going. His family is amazing, they're supportive and he has so many nephews and nieces it gets overwhelming sometimes, but they give me the big family I never had. And last Christmas his father handed me a letter. About everything that's happened, about how proud he was of us, about how happy he was so see us grow. I got many presents last year, but this one I come back to whenever I need reminding that I'm not alone.
10:06 I also got a hand massager for Christmas! Mine looks a little different, but it’s the same idea & I love it! Your Christmas haul is so refreshing compared to some of the others I’ve seen! 😊
I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. We no longer exchange gifts between adults, but the BEST gift of all was having breakfast with my daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughter and their mates. It was so fun to watch them open presents and be excited!
Favorite gift I got - A gold Miraculous Medal from my husband (we’re Catholic). It’s so beautiful and I wear it everyday ❤ Favorite gift I gave - I sewed a felt garden for my nieces and nephew. They loved it 🥰 there is felt “dirt” at the bottom and they can plant/harvest potatoes, lettuce, and carrots, and I also made a tomato plant! It’s so adorable and I was really proud of how I came out!
Mia, a meat thermometer IS a game changer! It's amazing how juicy chicken and pork are when cooked to temp and you know you won't get sick! We were victims of my salmonella fears and the first 20 years of our marriage we had super dry chicken... the last 20 years, the meat has been on a whole other level! Thanks for sharing....and the ducks! The ducks!!!
Mia, try wearing splints at night for your carpal tunnel syndrome. It keeps your wrists straight so your nerve has time to heal. Lots of bending of the wrists cause median nerve irritation so keeping the wrist straight helps !
I had carpal tunnel and, through my doctor, had a hand and wrist brace custom made for my hand that kept my wrist straight. I wore it when I slept. It healed my carpal tunnel, saving me from surgery. Well worth it!
Yes! Use the night brace Mia! As an OR nurse who had carpal tunnel symptoms, night brace helped and physiotherapy and physical exercises for your wrists helped alot. Even when the operation is very easy and done usually in local anesthesia, the healing process takes weeks and you could not edit videos during that time. Also remember to take brakes for your hands while doing your editing, do some circular emotion exercises to get the blood flowing. Take care of your hands, everybody who works with hands ❤
I have had our hex clad for over a year and we use metal and silicone on ours and they have stood up fantastic. We seasoned it when we first got it and I haven’t had to reseason it yet. I honestly really like them. And I have a gas range and they haven’t tarnished at all on the bottom either😊 just a regular Joanne cook but I personally like them a lot. And I can use super low heat and it still gets pretty hot. Which for a gas range user is awesome!
HexClad owner here. Prior to these pans we only used stainless and cast iron. I LOVE THE HEXCLAD! And I love that they have a lifetime warranty. Any scratch and they'd replace. I have probably had these for 8 months and we cook at home 97% of the time. I have the set of 3 frying pans and a wok.
I have all hexclad pots and pans and I LOVE them! I've had mine for about a year and they look completely brand new. I only hand wash mine, and mostly use wood utensils, but I have used metal. No scratches or imperfections yet!
I'm not familiar with Hexclad pans, so I can't speak on that. However, I avoid all non-stick pans and just use stainless steel. That way, I know there are no toxins getting in my food. Stainless steel with oil is just as good as non-stick, especially if you let it heat up enough. PLUS, there are no restrictions on what type of cooking utensils you use with it.
I've been using hexclad pans exculsively for about two years now and they have held up fantastically! Even my partner, who worked in kitchens for a long time, has been impressed despite being a stainless steel fan. I generally do not use metal utensils on them but have not had any issues with scratching when I do. Plus they are so easy to clean!
I got a full set of hexclad pots and pans for my birthday back in September and they’ve been great so far! Be sure to season them first (heat on medium, add a neutral oil to coat and heat for a few minutes) and you’re good to go. 👌🏻
My fave gift this year is an air popcorn popper. I’ve already used it to so much! About the pans: I haven’t used hexclad but I’d honestly recommend giving cooking in mostly cast iron and stainless steel a try. They both have a bit of a learning curve but you get used to cooking in and cleaning with them pretty quickly. They last forever and neither of them have a coating you can scratch!
My husband bought me an espresso machine this year for Christmas, hands down the best gift I've ever received! Also, the little wooden ducks with the boots are soooo cuteeeee 🤗
1:55 "If you stumble upon this video and find it really slow..." girl. I just set you to talk at 1.5 speed. Im good. You be chilling while I be rushing
I had a friend who passed away, and she bought a lot of Beatrix Potter dishes at a thrift store and gave them to me a few years ago. I've got them stashed in a cupboard and I must bring them down. They're adorable and look like your Soup bow(?) I love the mug you're drinking from, so pretty 😊
I have the whole set of HexClad pans. They are amazing! We have had them for over a year and there are no scratches. We use a metal spatula all the time on it, so it definitely holds up. I also LOVE the fact that they are so easy to clean!! You also only have to season them once (when you buy it) and it’s good to go from there!
I’ve had many hexclad pans for over two years now, without the slightest bit of wear. I occasionally even use a wire whisk in them, and always put them in the dishwasher. I also cook A LOT, so they’re well used.
I own all hexclad pots and pans. They are AMAZING!!! been cooking with them for 4 plus years and I use metal utensils on the time. None are scratched! Best pans I have ever owned!!!!
My sweet husband gave me some money and told me to get some new pots and pans for Christmas and our anniversary. I purchased ceramic bottom pots/ pans. I LOVE them!! My old ones were at least 20-30 years old and certain frying pans were definitely flaking!!! Also make sure you get stainless steel as aluminum pans can cause health problems as well. LOVED your Christmas presents!!! It’s funny as you get older, the more you REALLY want the useful items!! Ha. I hope you and Stuart had a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year!! 💕💕💕
OMG I am also Duckticted. I got my first duck stuffed animal when I was a baby and then I wanted more every time I saw one. Every year one of my friends or family members needs to give me one to my birthday 😅 Well you made my day really better, because today my sister broke one of my ceramic ducks while closing my window, so hearing that you also love these duck things is just a great thing to hear ❤
4:15 this! My husband taught me about this and now we use cast iron pans! They work awesome and and you can use metal whatever in it and if you do scratch it a little you just get some extra iron in your meal which is way better then Teflon
Cast iron pans are by far the best. When treated properly, they don't stick and have the added benefit of adding more iron to your food (which many of us don't have enough of in our diets).
I would definitely recommend stainless steel. I have changed all my cookware over to it now. You do have to change your cooking style slightly for things like eggs but it’s perfectly doable. Just heat the pan to low then add oil. Then when the oil is warm add the eggs. Then don’t touch them until they naturally unstick. Same with meat but at a slightly higher temp. Bonus is if anything does stick you can scrub to your hearts content without damaging it 🥰
I got a hexclad last Christmas. Been using It almost every day and I love it! It’s held up great. I want more of them. They’re the absolute easiest to clean.
Hi Mia! This year I came to love full stainless steel pieces (like no coating on the inside, just stainless steel). I used to not be able to cook with them because everything stuck to them not knowing that I had to SEASON THE PAN.. Ever since I started seasoning the stainless steel pans I have been having a blast, metal scratch issue is no more. And I don’t even properly season them sometimes but they still don’t stick if I coat inside the pan with oil with a paper towel. So yay

I hope you feel better, take care. 💐
Thank you!!! I live vicariously through these and I was missing it! ❤
Just about to search for a Mia maples video to watch and noticed a new one it’s perfect. that’s joy on a whole new level! ❤get better soon
Please Mia do a bread machine video following along to that vintage bread book u got and new recipes u discovered! I know u do gluten free or other type of breads so I just want a whole video it would be so fun. I actually got a bread machine cause of u lol
"I don't ever want to sound like I'm bragging."
*Proceeds to show the most normal yet thoughtful gifts ever.*
The only thing you're bragging on is how sweet your family is. ❤
a 200 USD toothbrush? is normal? jajajaj
@letibc \_('u')_/ her mom was a dental hygienist for many years, so I'm not surprised they are willing to invest in fancy oral care.
@@letibc considering how expensive the dentist is…😂 makes kind of sense to invest in dental care
Oh my gosh I'm the artist who made the duck with the leaf umbrella keychain and bee sticker! 🥹❤ This is so surreal I've been watching your videos for almost 8 years!! I'm so glad you like them!
Oh my gosh that's so amazing 🥹🥹🥹
Nice artwork!
Such an adorable concept with the leaf umbrella 🥹🥰
Oh My goodness that is SO cute! So so so happy for you🥹🫶🏻✨😻
It's really cute! It reminds me of when I was a kid and made Shrinky Dinks. (No shade, I really like your work!)
Oh my goodness it’s Beatrix Potter books. Peter Rabbit is the main character, and these stories were written in the Lake District UK. They are beautiful stories and there are films now too which are fab! You would love all the collection I’m sure. Xx
Agree - Mia will for sure LOVE looking into this (and the author - definitely an awesome woman).
I had all the books as a kid!
The films are soo good honestly
These were my favorite. 🥹
I love her books so much!
I like that your family is about thoughtful gifts rather than super expensive or trendy. Things chosen for you because they know you and you matter to them.
Mia: you're the perfect mix between a toddler and a grandma. And we all love you for that ❤
This is the most accurate description of her that I've read so far. Lol
@@LovelyLobitaYES!! I couldn't agree with that description more!! 🙌😂
What a compliment!!!
I never get gifts anymore because my parents have passed and I don't really have any other family and my husband and I are quite poor BUUUUUUT this year!!!!

@molly.molly6230 Thank you!!! We actually don't have Auchan out this way, but I've seen some stuff in my local places too.
for me, Mia is the only one who can make this kind of video sound like a fun chat w a friend and not a bragging video lol. thanks for being you, Mia
At first I was like “We still doing these..??” Then I was like it’s Mia
good old peter cotton tail
I think part of it is because Mia is telling us about getting things like a meat thermometer and a toothbrush instead of her Chanel bags.
I agree, I only always watch hers
She’s incredible… do you know how insanely difficult it is to have a normal human conversation with a camera? lol it’s so hard dude and she’s just so natural and normal. A lovely human ❤
I love that you’re a super popular UA-camr and your haul is the most down to earth, normal, thoughtful products and you aren’t throwing affiliate links for all this expensive stuff on the screen
You could sit down and make a 5 hour long video telling your entire life story to the most intricate detail and I’d be LOCKED IN the entire time Mia
💯
Can you please Mia
LITERRRRALLY
Same. I’d listen to her read the phone book
Lol agreed. she's a doll and sweetheart 💕
THE best influencer Christmas gift video I've seen. I usually hate those videos because everything is over the top but yours was "normal". Thank you!
My favorite gift I got this year. My baby brother (15yo) handmade me a knife block in his shop class after he saw I didn't have one 😊 it's not perfect but it's so sweet (especially from a teenage brother) that I will cherish it always ❤
Such a thoughtful gift, I Love that!!!
Aww I love that. ❤️
I(41) made my parents a beautiful cutting board when in high school. It now sits on my kitchen table (also my parents from my childhood). They loved it so much and I love that I now get to have it. Handmade gifts are the best. My 9 year old makes us gifts for Christmas every year. We look forward to them and quite honestly they’re our favorite gifts to open.
That is so so sweet!
I got to spend one last christmas with my partner before he passed away last week, that will always be the biggest gift to me
I'm so sorry for your loss, but happy you got that time ❤
I love how practical your family's gifts are. Personal but practical. These are the little things that are exciting when you're an adult lol
5:35 Peter Rabbit! I’m a second grade teacher and I read those books with my students every year so they’re very dear to my heart
I have all the books.
Love Peter Rabbit.
🐇
Yes I was gonna comment his name but I wasn’t for sure!
Yes I realized what it was immediately I loved those books as a kid
I love that Mia prefaces this video by saying she’s not bragging then showing us such humble and practical gifts. What a real queen!
AWWW PETER RABBIT ❤ 5:42 adorable
ahh thank you, I was thinking Br'er Rabbit!
What I really want for next Christmas (or this, it's not too late :D) is see what Mia gifted for her family. I think she definitely put a lot of thought into it, and it would be so interesting to watch! And if the family wants to come together on UA-cam and share their thoughts together, I think it would be the best video in this world!
Oh yes that would be super interesting!
Yes, what Mia gave to her family and her family's reaction. Filmed afterwards altogether not on Christmas.❤

Came here to say the same. My pans are all cast iron or stainless steel and pretty much all my utensils are metal. Not a scratch in sight :)
same! last year i asked all my friends to give me stainless steel pans as christmas gifts. and after a whole year of heavy everyday use they look exactly the same as new. after 20+years of using ikea pans this honestly felt like a miracle
Yes ma’am. I almost exclusively use cast iron in any pan cooking. Nothing beats it.
I came to say Cast Iron too. Worth the extra care and ours will become an heirloom piece.
best message right here

Stainless steel is end game cookware. Once you go stainless you never go back. It's like taking the training wheels off your kiddie bike, throwing the kiddie bike in the trash, and picking up a fresh Italian road bike.
All my cooking utensils are silicone. They don't scratch anything. But I guess they also don't last as long as metal utensils.

I would also love an interview to see what I could do to raise such a close knit family
would love to see this!

it took me like three minutes to realize this wasn’t the main channel 😅 i’m so here for gift ideas to treat myself to 🤭
I only know it’s a second channel video when she comments on it 😂

After seeing all the Tik Tok influencer "Christmas Haul" vidoes I appreciate you even more! This is so wholesome and personal. I love how humble and attentive you and your family are
this!!! her and soph are the only youtubers whose hauls i like to watch bec thr gifts j show how close everyone is, so humble and just seems more dear (if that makes sense)
Aww the Peter Rabbit Bowl is adorable! Tate gets major Brother points for finding this great find and knowing your style. 😉 Watching your yearly “What I Got For Christmas” is always refreshing and enjoyable to watch. All of your stuff is fun, unique and practical. Each gift you are so grateful from your Family and love showing and describing in depth each piece you got. No crazy super expensive hauls to gloat and show off. It’s so refreshing. Thanks Mia for being set apart in a positive way compared to other Influencers.❤
BEEN WITH YOU MIA SINCE 2019!!!! tysm for being there for me when others weren’t. And Mama Maples feels like such a safe space for me, so grateful to have found your channel during difficult times 😊❤🍁
I just want to say that I love when people share what they received for Christmas! Gifting is also one of my love languages - finding or making the perfect small present and wrapping it beautifully gives me so much joy. Life is so short and I love to remind my loved ones that I absolutely adore them, and Christmas is just another opportunity to show them that I care. Thanks for sharing, Mia! You are loved, my dear.
You can really see how much her family loves her and pays attention to the things she loves and needs. It’s so heartwarming
This is such a wholesome video Mia
I love how your family picked gifts for you. That’s amazing
to be loved is to be known! i love how all the gifts were very thoughtful and personal to you. you have an amazing family! bless your hearts
Happy New Year Mia 🎉 I love both channels and watch every video you do. My fav are the Geese with the polka dot boots as well and the hand massager but loved all your gifts. I had that peter rabbit bowl when I was a child and used to have my cereal in it (thanks for taking me back to a childhood memory) great idea to put a succulent in it! ❤
I love watching Christmas hauls from you bc you are the most grateful person I’ve ever met
In regards to pots and pans you have to get fully stainless steel. The one you showed still had a coating so just look for all stainless steel (inside and out) It takes practice with them because you have to preheat the pan for it to be nonstick so just be patient with it ❤
The rabbits on the ceramic are from Beatrix Potter books! The most popular one being Peter Rabbit. Some of my favorite stories as a little kid! Such a cute ceramic!! 🥰🥹
My favourite gift this year was a letter my father-in-law wrote us. Three years ago my own father died, three months after I started dating my boyfriend, whose support still to this day keeps me going. His family is amazing, they're supportive and he has so many nephews and nieces it gets overwhelming sometimes, but they give me the big family I never had.
And last Christmas his father handed me a letter. About everything that's happened, about how proud he was of us, about how happy he was so see us grow. I got many presents last year, but this one I come back to whenever I need reminding that I'm not alone.
Your content is by far some of my favorite to watch! SO happy you decided to be a UA-camr!
10:06 I also got a hand massager for Christmas! Mine looks a little different, but it’s the same idea & I love it! Your Christmas haul is so refreshing compared to some of the others I’ve seen! 😊
I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. We no longer exchange gifts between adults, but the BEST gift of all was having breakfast with my daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughter and their mates. It was so fun to watch them open presents and be excited!
9:11 you know that you can just swap the top part right? You didn't have to use her same toothbrush hahaha
I was thinking the same
Favorite gift I got - A gold Miraculous Medal from my husband (we’re Catholic). It’s so beautiful and I wear it everyday ❤
Favorite gift I gave - I sewed a felt garden for my nieces and nephew. They loved it 🥰 there is felt “dirt” at the bottom and they can plant/harvest potatoes, lettuce, and carrots, and I also made a tomato plant! It’s so adorable and I was really proud of how I came out!
Sweet! My hubby gave me a gold Miraculous Medal for my 21st birthday 🎂 I'm 56 now and still wear it to this day!!
@ I love that ❤️🥰
I have been here for awhile usually a silent watcher. And I just love who you are as a person ❤ that’s all. ❤
i got a porch goose!! mia if you haven’t seen these they seem WAY up your alley it’s just a goose that you dress up with cute little outfits!
Mia, a meat thermometer IS a game changer! It's amazing how juicy chicken and pork are when cooked to temp and you know you won't get sick! We were victims of my salmonella fears and the first 20 years of our marriage we had super dry chicken... the last 20 years, the meat has been on a whole other level! Thanks for sharing....and the ducks! The ducks!!!
Mia, try wearing splints at night for your carpal tunnel syndrome. It keeps your wrists straight so your nerve has time to heal. Lots of bending of the wrists cause median nerve irritation so keeping the wrist straight helps !
I had carpal tunnel and, through my doctor, had a hand and wrist brace custom made for my hand that kept my wrist straight. I wore it when I slept. It healed my carpal tunnel, saving me from surgery. Well worth it!
@ yes they really do help offload the nerve- I’m a physio so recommend this as a big one for my own patients!
Yes! Use the night brace Mia! As an OR nurse who had carpal tunnel symptoms, night brace helped and physiotherapy and physical exercises for your wrists helped alot. Even when the operation is very easy and done usually in local anesthesia, the healing process takes weeks and you could not edit videos during that time. Also remember to take brakes for your hands while doing your editing, do some circular emotion exercises to get the blood flowing. Take care of your hands, everybody who works with hands ❤
I have had our hex clad for over a year and we use metal and silicone on ours and they have stood up fantastic. We seasoned it when we first got it and I haven’t had to reseason it yet. I honestly really like them. And I have a gas range and they haven’t tarnished at all on the bottom either😊 just a regular Joanne cook but I personally like them a lot. And I can use super low heat and it still gets pretty hot. Which for a gas range user is awesome!
HexClad owner here. Prior to these pans we only used stainless and cast iron. I LOVE THE HEXCLAD! And I love that they have a lifetime warranty. Any scratch and they'd replace. I have probably had these for 8 months and we cook at home 97% of the time. I have the set of 3 frying pans and a wok.
Mia we know you're not bragging, I've seen bragging and your what I got for christmas is definitely way to wholesome to be classed as bragging
We love a christmas of useful items! My parents got me a handheld mini vacuum and restocked some of my cleaning sprays
I love watching your Christmas gift videos! And that teacup is soo cute I love it
The bowl is Peter Rabbit! Beatrix Potter wrote all the peter rabbit books and it remains the most sold childrens books of all time😊
I have all hexclad pots and pans and I LOVE them! I've had mine for about a year and they look completely brand new. I only hand wash mine, and mostly use wood utensils, but I have used metal. No scratches or imperfections yet!
I'm not familiar with Hexclad pans, so I can't speak on that. However, I avoid all non-stick pans and just use stainless steel. That way, I know there are no toxins getting in my food. Stainless steel with oil is just as good as non-stick, especially if you let it heat up enough. PLUS, there are no restrictions on what type of cooking utensils you use with it.
I've been using hexclad pans exculsively for about two years now and they have held up fantastically! Even my partner, who worked in kitchens for a long time, has been impressed despite being a stainless steel fan. I generally do not use metal utensils on them but have not had any issues with scratching when I do. Plus they are so easy to clean!
I got a full set of hexclad pots and pans for my birthday back in September and they’ve been great so far! Be sure to season them first (heat on medium, add a neutral oil to coat and heat for a few minutes) and you’re good to go. 👌🏻
5:29 it’s Peter rabbit! From beatrix potter books! Xx
My fave gift this year is an air popcorn popper. I’ve already used it to so much!
About the pans: I haven’t used hexclad but I’d honestly recommend giving cooking in mostly cast iron and stainless steel a try. They both have a bit of a learning curve but you get used to cooking in and cleaning with them pretty quickly. They last forever and neither of them have a coating you can scratch!
I love you mia, your videos always make me feel safe.
Been watching you since 2015 cannot describe how much joy your videos bring me
I was waiting for this!!!!
5:31 Peter Rabbit!
I was waiting for this!!! Hope you had a great holiday season, Mia and family ♥️
My husband bought me an espresso machine this year for Christmas, hands down the best gift I've ever received! Also, the little wooden ducks with the boots are soooo cuteeeee 🤗
I would love for you to share what you got your family Mia!!
5:20 PETER RABBIT! The best stories and illustrations.
i love christmas hauls because it gives me amazing gift ideas to give out the next year!
1:55 "If you stumble upon this video and find it really slow..." girl. I just set you to talk at 1.5 speed. Im good. You be chilling while I be rushing
Tbh
Am I really watching a mia maples video if it isn’t at 1.5x😂
@@arielababio6193 I fully don't understand why you would do that
Every time when you post a new video I HAVE to get a snack and a fun drink.
Literally makes my week 🫶🏻🥹
I had a friend who passed away, and she bought a lot of Beatrix Potter dishes at a thrift store and gave them to me a few years ago. I've got them stashed in a cupboard and I must bring them down. They're adorable and look like your Soup bow(?)
I love the mug you're drinking from, so pretty 😊
I have the whole set of HexClad pans. They are amazing! We have had them for over a year and there are no scratches. We use a metal spatula all the time on it, so it definitely holds up. I also LOVE the fact that they are so easy to clean!! You also only have to season them once (when you buy it) and it’s good to go from there!
My youngest daughter surprised us by coming home for Christmas that was my best gift 💖
I’ve had many hexclad pans for over two years now, without the slightest bit of wear. I occasionally even use a wire whisk in them, and always put them in the dishwasher. I also cook A LOT, so they’re well used.
I own all hexclad pots and pans. They are AMAZING!!! been cooking with them for 4 plus years and I use metal utensils on the time. None are scratched! Best pans I have ever owned!!!!
My sweet husband gave me some money and told me to get some new pots and pans for Christmas and our anniversary. I purchased ceramic bottom pots/ pans. I LOVE them!! My old ones were at least 20-30 years old and certain frying pans were definitely flaking!!! Also make sure you get stainless steel as aluminum pans can cause health problems as well. LOVED your Christmas presents!!! It’s funny as you get older, the more you REALLY want the useful items!! Ha. I hope you and Stuart had a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year!! 💕💕💕
You are very blessed. What I got for Christmas was a gift card from a co worker so I could afford to make a Christmas dinner for my family of 3.
5:31 omg Peter rabit, there was a live action show I used to watch as a kid, the books are gorgeous!!
11 YEARS OF THIS SERIES 😭
I love how your people actually know you and what you like.
The OGs are heeeeeeer Mia we love this videos ❤ since 2017
I’m glad I’m not the only one dying of this cold ughhhh 😂❤ get better soon Mia it sucks
OMG I am also Duckticted. I got my first duck stuffed animal when I was a baby and then I wanted more every time I saw one. Every year one of my friends or family members needs to give me one to my birthday 😅
Well you made my day really better, because today my sister broke one of my ceramic ducks while closing my window, so hearing that you also love these duck things is just a great thing to hear ❤
4:15 this! My husband taught me about this and now we use cast iron pans! They work awesome and and you can use metal whatever in it and if you do scratch it a little you just get some extra iron in your meal which is way better then Teflon
Cast iron pans are by far the best. When treated properly, they don't stick and have the added benefit of adding more iron to your food (which many of us don't have enough of in our diets).
I would definitely recommend stainless steel. I have changed all my cookware over to it now. You do have to change your cooking style slightly for things like eggs but it’s perfectly doable. Just heat the pan to low then add oil. Then when the oil is warm add the eggs. Then don’t touch them until they naturally unstick. Same with meat but at a slightly higher temp. Bonus is if anything does stick you can scrub to your hearts content without damaging it 🥰
I’ve had my hexclads for almost 2 years. The best pans I have ever owned. Keep it!
Love you, Mia, thanks for all the smiles 😊
0:12 for 11 years 😊
I got a hexclad last Christmas. Been using It almost every day and I love it! It’s held up great. I want more of them. They’re the absolute easiest to clean.
15 seconds ago is wild
I got a trip to Las Vegas to spend with my family for Christmas and the New Year! The best gift ever!!!
6:06 why you rolling around ing bed.....huh...mia?
I have gone fully cast iron and I’m obsessed! It’s not as nerve wracking to clean it as you think! Even my husband loves it
Hi Mia! This year I came to love full stainless steel pieces (like no coating on the inside, just stainless steel). I used to not be able to cook with them because everything stuck to them not knowing that I had to SEASON THE PAN.. Ever since I started seasoning the stainless steel pans I have been having a blast, metal scratch issue is no more. And I don’t even properly season them sometimes but they still don’t stick if I coat inside the pan with oil with a paper towel. So yay
Your hair looks amazing, Mia, the color, the length, everything
