Lovely vlog Freya but have to tell you as you were hugging Barney the tears were rolling down my face! It’s 3 months near,y that we lost our beautiful furry boy Benji of 16 and a half and I still cry for him and miss him every day. It’s too soon for another fur baby but I never say never. Love all your Christmas decs. Thanks again for fab video x
I love the touches of Vintage that you have added to your Christmas decor this year; and, especially the thought you are putting into each ornament. Anything to help keep the Christmas magic alive!!! I hope You enjoy this last week of November. Christmas is just around the corner.
Not me sitting here feeling emotional when Barney was snuggling with you ❤ that’s what I’m like when my dog, Darcy does the same, they give so much love ❤️
I feel like it's a good thing that a charity shop can try to make a bit of money, there are already enough resellers lining their pockets from charity shop bargains... I know many people who have had cancer and suffered through their treatments or actually didn't make it, any money for research/hospices/nursing is always a good thing... And thats just one type of charity shop, dont forget all the others!! better than going directly to chain stores ( pardon me for the little rant)
Love all your finds 😊my house looks like this every Christmas with all my traditional bits I've been given by my grandparents over the years 😍 can't beat it for that cosy warm magical Christmas feeling xxx
Nice vlog Freya, you have bought some lovely things, l like the tree decorations so pretty and l find the santa cute, keep saying l will buy one myself, will have to check out the charity shops for one x
Fantastic vlog. I loved the santa baubles. Barney is such a good boy. My dog Iggy was watching too. Please take care... all my love love and hugs to Barney xx ❤️
Hi Freya. What a lovely video it really made me feel nostalgic and think back to Christmas when I was a little girl such happy memories. You’ve got lovely things there and I love your Santa I don’t think he looks creepy at all but I know there are ones that do. I totally agree with you about the charity shops selling things too expensive they should be able to sell much cheaper it defeats the purpose and would encourage me just to buy in Zara in the sale than the charity shop. I loved seeing you all snuggled up with Barney he’s just adorable 🥰 and you both looked so cosy. I hope you aren’t coming down with a cold and hope you feel better. Have a lovely day ❤️💕💕💕
My family all lived in and around Wilmslow so this was a real trip down memory lane. So many happy times spent in that area of Cheshire. Have a lovely Christmas.
Morning Freya, you have some great charity finds i was amazed with what you found, I’m only just putting my tree up this morning so just the perfect video for a cosy Sunday morning. Have a great week❤
What great finds! I think the Santa is adorable...i don't personally find those Santas to be creepy. I love your nostalgia theme and all the use of cranberry color! The napkins with the bow are so pretty, but yes, very pricey! Thanks for taking us with you!
I love it when I find christmas treasures in charity shops. I found a wonderful tree skirt that has an appliquéd scene on it and it is one of my favourite finds. I've treated myself to a 7ft Balsam Hills tree in the black Friday sale. So much cheaper than others I've seen in the shops. Got to love a bargain. 😁
Charity shops are a business arm of their charity enabling them to fund essential support for vulnerable people in their community. Charities rely on business support and donations to deliver essential services and pay for staff buildings and resources. The money from the donated items from Zara will go directly to support essential provision that isn’t provided by the government. If you can afford Zara prices in the sale with money going to Zara then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind the money going directly to the charity?
Freya good parking gal .i feel I always do better when I’m on my own as my hubby makes me nervous parking.love the Santa keep him for sure .i knew ud pick Barney puzzle .
Hi Freya, hope you are feeling better. Loved all the Xmas items, the traditional remind me of being at my nanas,in the 60s. Sat around the little coal fire ,sending xmas wishes on a bit of paper up the chimney. !! Xx❤
Happy Sunday Freya 🥰 love these types of videos, your gift guides have been so helpful! It might be a lil niche but do you think you could do a board game / jigsaw / puzzles / entertainment gift guide? Last year we was recommended rummikub & its addicting!! Wondered what everyone’s family faves are so we could get a new one xxx
Lovely Christmasy one this time ....love it thank you I'm sure you enjoyed looking round Have you ever been to New bank garden center. Newton Le willows Dog friendly . Lovely cafe Beautiful decorations too Thanks for a lovely video 🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐
Morning Freya..what a gorgeous video and beautiful additions to your decorations. I love everything you have purchasedespecially your mini 20p finds. Have a lovely Sunday. Xxxx
Loved the video Freya and all the xmas charity shop finds. Re the creepy Santa, I'm a cleaner and every year a house that I clean has quite a few of them out, but there's one that absolutely freaks me out and I literally can't clean anywhere near it. They don't always put it in the same place and once year it was at the bottom of the stairs and I literally had to brace myself to go up the stairs and legged it up them! It's weird how different things creep people out isn't it! X
Great vlog Freya love a charity shop find and I agree with you charity shops should charge a little less , love the vintage christmas decorations reminds me of my childhood xxxx❤🎄
Evening Freya, I totally agree re Charity shops and overcharging. It's taking the fun out of shopping, and is also a bit greedy. Enjoyed your vlog though ( as per ) xx
It’s a business and we must raise funds for the charity. Plus the management needs paying as they too have homes to pay for and feed their children and pets. Management don’t volunteer trust me. We do have volunteers to help out but a lot of them need supervision. It’s very hard work I know I’ve done it.
@rachelhele7827 yes, I worked in an Opticians, next door to a Charity shop. I agree, the volunteers worked VERY hard. Maybe the shops should be re named ( as only as small proportion of money actually goes to the charity ) If they charged less, they'd sell more Simple really
Some very nice finds - I never think to look in charity shops for anything even though I donate to them all the time! That Santa reminds me of my youngest son - I used to have 2 of them but when he visited he always said they looked evil 👹😄 He lives overseas now but although I've still got them I still can't bring myself to put them out 🤣
Its a way of big shops to get round the fast fashion label by donating older stock to charity shops ( but they dictate rrp ) Charity shops cant control the prices of corporate link ups while Zara can say we donate our old stock not just send it to landfill
I once worked in a charity shop as a volunteer, and i got into trouble for selling a faux leather jacket for the prices. i thought it should be sold, for i lowered the price because it was faux leather. The manager said it was leather, but i knew it wasn't. i know leather from faux leather. i got demoted 😂 and everything i priced had to be checked, so i left because i was made to feal inadequate
The "creepy" Santa. . Hmm. I bought one when my daughter was still in her pushchair. She's 25 next Jan. I still have it and can't get rid. Now if you was talking about Gonks.. I can't stand those...😉
Loved the vlog and Freya you found some wonderful finds at the charity shop absolutely loved the holiday pajamas you was wearing the print on them so cute !!!!😊🌲🌲🌲🌲

I think the Santa is cute! I have a Father Christmas with burgundy and fur. I really like him! 😊

oh fab! we do love our balsam hill tree ❤
I like the Santa especially the colour of it, it’s you’re colours 🤎🤍
First of all, wow, your hair is amazing ❤❤ secondly, Freya on a charity shop road trip? Oh yes please!!❤
I love the traditional decoration, I agree the zara items should be more affordable if sold in a charity shop,🎄
It’s a business they have staff and bills to pay.
Charity shops are a business arm of their charity enabling them to fund essential support for vulnerable people in their community. Charities rely on business support and donations to deliver essential services and pay for staff buildings and resources.

If you can afford Zara prices in the sale with money going to Zara then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind the money going directly to the charity?
I would've bought the Santa, I have a few already, I love them. I usually line them up along the front window, love, love, love em 😊❤
Lovely vlog x❤
I think your new “beige” Santa is very cute❤
We have a little Santa and they’re adorable!

Hi Freya, loved the video about the charity shops. I sent you an email last week about handbags and just wondered if you had seen it yet?xx

Im not a puzzler, but i was hoping you would choose that one. I love the santa and i don't find him creepy at all
Great video 🥰
❤Fab vlog.
Thank you 😊❤
Lovely decorations Freya.😊
Thank you! 🤗
Nutcracker and gingerbread man seem to be the rage in the US this year.
Yes I have seen a lot of these online!
I like the santa i dont think theyre creepy i would have brought that one ❤
Its a way of big shops to get round the fast fashion label by donating older stock to charity shops ( but they dictate rrp ) Charity shops cant control the prices of corporate link ups while Zara can say we donate our old stock not just send it to landfill
I'm all for them donating it, it makes sense but just seems a shame if they have to stipulate the price
❤❤❤❤❤

The "creepy" Santa. . Hmm. I bought one when my daughter was still in her pushchair. She's 25 next Jan. I still have it and can't get rid. Now if you was talking about Gonks.. I can't stand those...😉
no I think I find those a little creepy! haha
❤️🎄
💗
Loved the vlog and Freya you found some wonderful finds at the charity shop absolutely loved the holiday pajamas you was wearing the print on them so cute !!!!😊🌲🌲🌲🌲
Charity shops get way out of order these days, it’s just not fun any more, there are amost retail these days.
I agree! makes it hard for me to shop and promote like I used to!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Charity shops are charging huge prices!
I agree! can be so hard to find a good buy now!
Yes, but you get 2 for 1. You buy your item, and some of your money goes to do some good somewhere...
Those Christmas Spode mugs were far too cheap, should have been at least a fiver.
25:24 There’s literally nothing creepy about such Santa dolls.
Wpw the Zara ,charity shop agreement is just wrong
yes if it is true then I totally agree!
Put my tree up today have a hot toddy for your throat tiny bit of orange juice diluted honey and lemon with hot water clears your throat x
thank you lovely!
