My favourite gift to give is food seriously I don't think anyone hates getting handmade chocolates ,cookies or muffins and it won't ever clutter their life😄
I love gifting handmade gifts 🙂 I'm just starting to learn how to do embroidery and there's a few people who I'm super close with on my list that will be getting embroidered gifts from me this year ☺️
I enjoy making jewelry so I really love giving a handmade piece to a friend or loved one that I’ve made specifically with them and their colors and style in mind.
My favorite gift is when I can see that someone listened to me. Even if it's something simple like getting an item that I like in a certain color I love. Thoughtful gifts are the bests ^^
I love gifts I can eat, or read, and experiences with family and friends- a ride somewhere that ends with coffee or cheese and wine. Flowers and plants too!
As a family we always try to give useful and needed gifts. One year we got a garden shed from my parents and this year I know it's a duvet and pillows as ours are old and worn out xxxxx
I really enjoy watching your channel! Thank you for sharing some out of the box gift ideas! It so refreshing to hear suggestions that are not so focused on consumerism, especially during the holidays.
Ashlynne, I would love to know how you plan for Christmas spending? Do you break down a budget per person or a number of gifts per person? Gifting can be stressful to be because I'm trying to find a good gift with a (usually) very small budget
What works for me is to create a budget per person and then add it all up to my overall Christmas gift budget. I actually keep a whole spreadsheet to keep track of my spending so I know how much, for who, and what.
For the past couple years I made a wish list that contains everything I want and need, and I update this list throughout the year. For the past two years I encouraged my family and friends to do the samr, and they seem to get the hang of it. This way we can make sure that whatever we choose to give will be actually used and loved ❤
Good ideas ! My favorite gifts are handmade gift, because they are made with love, and experiences, because they are zero waste. That's important for me. Love from France
Enjoyed the helpful hints! I have a large extended family of all ages and am forever looking for the perfect gift. BTW....I was kinda nervous watching you talk with that full coffee cup in your hand. Looks like you made it through without a spill :)
Thanks for this video Ashlynne! I always struggle with gifts for my husband because he always say he has everything… but just watching your video I could already think of a few things. Thanks!!!
I think great gifts would be: gift cards to their favorite stores, baking for them if they have a sweet tooth, and small items that they can use ie new scarf or Winter socks
Happy Black Friday weekend Ashlynne.🌷Adore the beauty you have given to the Xmas tree.🎄 Hoping to surprise some children with heart-warming gifts this year, really found this useful. Have a beautiful weekend.💐
Six of Crows duology was so good! Don't forget to read the follow-up duology, King of Scars! It might help to read Shadow and Bone trilogy first (though the trilogy was so-so for me). As a booklover, I completely agree that books are also an experience.
Thanks for the great tips! My brother gave me a knife set years ago, and I often think about him when I'm prepping my food - definitely one of the best gifts I've ever gotten! I purchased Catan for my husband this year, so I'm happy to know it's going to be well used! I have some candles and soaps on the way from a local maker that I'm excited to gift as well. I really find that thoughtful intentional gifts make the holidays brighter as opposed to adding gift buying stress, and they're usually appreciated all around!
This was a GREAT video! I've done all my shopping for my kids but I did end up getting my brother an instant pot cook book (he loved cooking and is getting an instapot from someone this year) and I also got him a great condition Nintendo 64 game that he used to love (he collects and plays games on old systems).
Hello Ashlynne , Thankyou so much for some great ideas, I do love making cookies and giving there favourite colour bath towels ,or tea towels make a great gift idea . Lovely video ,and takecare from Australia xox💞😃👍
This is awesome! Have you heard of Nomad Lane Bento bag? I've been using this quite some time and makes my travel more convenient. A duffel bag that packs like a suitcase, with a trolley sleeve, fits under the seat, has lots of compartment, has a key leash and is very stylish. I plan to give my friends the same bag I love using for travel.
Hi, Ashlynne! For anyone looking for a cruelty free, vegan lip balm- Crazy Rumors are amazing. They are really effective and smell great. I'm coveting the cinnamon bun one at the moment! 😋😋😋 I like to give edible gifts I've made myself- peanut butter cups and chocolate gingers are favourites. Have a great weekend.
Awesome content as always! This video came just in time! 🍁✨ I was wondering how your pots and pans have been holding up, if they’ve lost any of their non-stick, if they only make small portions of food, etc. I’ve been thinking about purchasing but want to make sure it’s going to be worth it! Thanks for the input! ✨
Hey!! So we did accidentally learn the hard way with one pan that you need to follow the instructions and not overheat the pans (whoops 😅), but since we replaced that pan they’ve all held up very well and are still completely nonstick! Then as far as the actual pots and pans go, I love the sizes! Christopher and I find them to be a great size and the perfect variety for our needs. Hope this helps! 🤍
Have you tried to use loose leaf tea to make full pitcher of iced tea? I’d like to get away from tea bags, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t work. I’m Italian, too! 😊😊 Diane in Denmark pronounces it “HOO-guh”.
I actually don’t drink much iced tea, so I’m not exactly sure, but I make a French press of it pretty regularly so I assume it would! And that’s awesome! I love Signe from Use Less (she’s also Danish) so I watched a video where she was saying it, but it’s definitely still a hard one for me. Trying though! 😅☺️🤍
Organic Basics is pretty great, but Everlane and Madewell are actually pretty weak on the ethics/sustainability front. There are much better companies out there!
In some cultures it is inappropriate to give knives or watches (a knife - symbol of future argument, a watch - symbol of limited time to death). Personally I do not believe in those superstitions even though that's how I am raised haha. Treat it as fun fact, please. :)
Why not try educational books as gifts to kids? While young they would be at an optimal age of learning and growing so why not nurture it further with learning books? If you're child is not keen on books, you can have it tailor made to match their theme , basically their own *personalised childrens books*
What is your favorite kind of gift to give? 🤍
P.S. I’ve shared all the gifting categories + links to everything I mentioned in the description box. ✨

Haha thank you!! And yes, fortunately I made it through spill free! ☺️
I believe in need, want and book. That will make gift that is really wanted and cherished.
Hi Ashlynee. Happy holidays. Thank you for insightful suggestions!

Some really good gift ideas, however hardly anyone can buy me a pair of jeans that I would like because even I have a hard time to buy myself jeans

Ooh thanks so much for the recommendation!! And homemade peanut butter cups sound so amazing!! 🤍
Don't know if they are still around, but I had a few Puzz3D puzzles.

Hey Ashlynne! I loved this video! Quick note that “Hygge” is pronounced like “HOO-ga” :-)

CHAI CHAI CHAI, not chai-tea😭😭😭 Call it either CHAI or TEA NOT both (😂😂)
As an Indian, it hurts to hear this on a deep level!😂
Lol I know!! I actually know the difference I just misspoke when filming the video. 😭 Normally I’m pretty good at just calling it chai or tea. 😅🤍
@@AshlynneEaton haha awww! It’s okay!
Love your videos BTW! Very inspiring and motivating 💕
