Angel Tree Kids FAQs: 1. Yes, this process is completely anonymous. The kids/parents/guardians will never know who I was, and vice versa, as it should be. 2. No, I don't have any way to "prove" that the parents/guardians will actually give the presents to the kids. 3. Yes, there is a possibility that they'll sell the presents and keep the money for themselves...However, I can say that the facility that manages this particular Angel Tree knows the parents/guardians and children personally. They are all vetted and known to at least one employee there. These aren't just people who walked in off the street and filled out a form. 3a. (I prefer not to automatically assume the worst in any given situation, especially if it's a situation where I'll never know one way or the other how it played out.) 4. Yes, I spend significantly more per child than that required $75-100. I do what I want. 5. Yes, I suppose I could spend less per child and adopt more children off the tree. I could also just give every kid a Hershey bar and adopt them all. Maybe take some of that speculative energy and put it into helping someone in your own community instead of wasting it here. I'll add to this list as the Grinches show up and find more problems where none existed previously. * If the audio sounds bad, try going to Settings - Additional Settings - Stable Volume, and turn Stable Volume off.

Haha! I came here to comment that Mary could be a professional gift wrapper! All the videos in this Angel Tree series have the paper with sharp creases and folds perfectly wrapped around the gifts. They look beautiful 😊
Yaaassss its Mary time....I just love these videos, the sweaters, the wrapping, the gifts, and overall the heart you have to do so much for these angel kids. I talk about you all the time to friends, coworkers, and family... we need more people like you in this world. God bless you, your boys, and your everyday life. Wishing you the best holidays, you deserve it and much more. Thank you for all you do!!! ❤ your videos make my heart smile when they pop up on my notification. And to the ASMR family. Happy holidays to you and your families. May god bless you all with love, peace, and happiness.
Mary! You are just the best all rounder honestly, you do all of your videos so well, quirky, fun and seeing you choose these angel presents is so thoughtful and inspiring! You should be a personal shopper! It takes great care and compassion to take an act of kindness and then turn showing it into another act of kindness! You're just amazing! Happy Christmas to you and yours from Dublin Ireland and go raibh maith agat! 🧡💚🤍
Hey Mary! Amazing video as always. Im a gamer and I have several gaming friends across the world and I think you nailed these gifts!!! Even if he doesn’t use playstation, most gamers appreciate all console or PC platforms and Im sure the idea of a controller clock is pretty cool to him. The gifts will inspire creativity and that’s what all gamers share- a love of expressing their unique self and creating something that makes them happy. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you for reminding me to do some extra good deeds this holiday season. ❤
Oh my gosh, you're right! I went back and looked through the videos that I have uploaded, and I never uploaded those. I'm glad you mentioned it! I have edited those videos - there are two of them - and they'll publish this evening and Monday evening. Thank you so much for mentioning it! I would have totally forgotten! ❤️
Great gifts for the teen boy. I know for my son I like when he opens his "big gift" or "most wanted gift" first or almost first that way he isn't disappointed in everything that he opens that ISNT the thing he wants most, I find he is still very happy with everything else and enjoys the process of gift opening more once he is put out of his misery 😂 of waiting to see if he got the big thing, but that's just us, my son has ADHD so this is what makes his Xmas most merry.
My little sister has adhd and my parents always worry shes disappointed with her gifts. To maybe provide you some comfort a lot AD and ADHD children dont show their emotions through their face, or normally just don't have a reaction. My sister always just opens and moves onto the next😅 but shes always grateful and happy even if shes not showing it. Im sure your son is just the same 🙂

You tell em. I love your “take no bullshit attitude”
Hi Mary, no matter how many videos I watch of you wrapping presents I still can't wrap a present. You're the queen of wrapping Mary. 😂

The kids are going to be so happy with their presents you gave them. Thank you
My sister from New Zealand loves your videos and the charity work you are doing. She asked me to send you this. Keep up the great work!
Oh, thank you so much, to you and your NZ sister! I really appreciate it! :)
I love the Angel Tree videos every year, and this program doesn't exist here, so I'll participate through you!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
I have finally learned how to wrap presents because of these videos! Thank you Mary!!
A drunk christmas goat is the most niche yet hilarious idea for a sweater 😭😭💞💞i love it
Mary I absolutely love your videos. Your whispered videos are a huge guilty pleasure. Thanks so much for what you do!
You actually inspired me to do these types of gifts this year. I was able to buy for two families and I LOVED wrapping the presents!
You’ve inspired me to adopt Angel Tree children in my community!

Oooo Mary can we get an updated CVS walkthrough in the new year please? They’re my absolute fave non voiceover walkthrough videos you do 😍😍💞
You didn’t show us the clothes you bought for the Angel Tree kids; I’ve been waiting and waiting. I love your Angel Tree videos!
Oh my gosh, you're right! I went back and looked through the videos that I have uploaded, and I never uploaded those.

@ yay! I’m glad you are posting them!
I love seeing your Christmas sweaters in these videos! They’re so hilarious and cute. I really need some Christmas sweaters like yours!🎄

I've been wrapping wrong this whole time 😂. Oh well, i tell my boys the elves wrap them and some of them are blind 😊❤
Hey, as long as it's covered, it's not wrong!
Thank you for this - really like your videos! 🤩
i love what you do for the children! the coloring book is probably like that because its almost certainly AI lol
This is so relaxing,can you do the self-organization videos while whispering likes in this video,ps love your videos ❤️❤️
the coloring book was ai lol that's why it has a lot of the same looking pictures.. just generations of the same images 😅
Yep
really depressing honestly
Cannot believe it's been a year since the last one...
I know! This year went by WAY too fast!
