I'd love to see a video on how you handle technology with your kids: how Gabb phones work, what ages you give them, time restrictions, etc. Do they get an allotted screen time each week/day? Do you have tablets? What apps do they use? Etc. Etc. Etc.
Tell Priya the budget and how many hours you 2 can be gone, and let her plan it! Let her creative side go a new path.
I also was thinking to say something like that.
Go on a mommy daughter date.
Agreed, she is saying quality time is her love language... I've told my mom this for years now as an adult and with my own kids
Or find where and who, and ask her to plan it and help save?
This is a great idea!!!!
Definitely a coupon book with outings for Quality Time as a busy working mom!!!
I think Priya came to the age where she would appreciate some nicer-sentimental type jewelry. You can get pretty much any ring/necklace/bracelet engraved with either her initials or something important. And it's fairly affordable, regarding it's usage and moral value.
I bet since Priya asked for a trip she’d also love either a Yes Day or a pre planned Momma Daughter day just the two of you doing all the fun girlie things!
I love that a yes day or mom daughter spa day
We have a 12 yr old girl. Something we’ve done in the past is take her to the local ceramic shop and let her pick out an item and paint it. It’s really affordable and then they get a decor, flower pot, etc of their making.
Give Priya that 2 or 3 night vacation where SHE chooses what everyone gets to do each day once you & your husband show her what's available or in the area....... So much fun! They'll ALL thank her!!!
I'd love to see a video on how you manage discipline/consequences for 8 kids. From toddler to now having teenagers. And what is your reward system like?
She has videos on all of those things. 😊
My 12 year old daughter is the same way this year. She is an artist and only wants art supplies and clothes. No “big” gifts. So I’m giving her a pricey gift card to Blick’s for more art supplies when needed.
One can tell these are gifts from the heart- so thoughtful about what each child likes, wants, and needs. I love how you and Bubba are so excited for them. Makes my heart happy. Merry Christmas to all of you.
those kids r going to hav so much fun w/ all their gifts!!
Every kid deserves a christmas like this.
I can't believe Hutch is almost 14!!! You guys are such incredible parents (and people!), it really shows in your children's faces - they are happy, respectful, helpful - all the good qualities, and they deserve all the good things you bless them with!! merry Christmas to all of you!!
I love how thoughtful and intentional you are with gift giving! Especially regifting and giving already loved items. ❤
I absolutely love this gift list! It's the perfect combination of want and need!
Love seeing how you guys handle gifts and keep things reasonable but still fun!
My niece who is 11 bless her heart has always been the same way! She is so hard to shop for. I try to find something unique every time with something she loves. I kind of struck gold last year and gave myself a very difficult job this year of living up to it. But I gave her a cup with pictures of her dog she loves so much. She doesn’t show emotions type of person and cried. That was the gift I couldn’t wait to give last year and it didn’t disappoint for sure.
LOVE the little motor bike! 😁 Love seeing what you bought the kids! Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed the thought and how each gift adds to the kids lives
The fact that you even got each of your kids even one thing that they wanted is amazing, but the fact that you got them several things that they each wanted is even more amazing! My mom never went out of her way to try to get me anything I WANTED. & I love that even though you're frugal, you still Understand that like your oldest son wants name brands and ISO k with getting less gifts or other less expensive gifts.If it means he gets some of the things he wants. I just asked one year to be able to get clothes that werent from the family dollar (because I know kids were judging me) even if it keant i only got 1 outfit, & although my mother & stepdad had more than enough income to be able to afford nake brands, she wouldn't do it.
Gift her online art lessons! She can do it at her own pace whenever she wants :)
We’re trying out Primery
Terrific idea !
For Priya, since she's creative maybe a ceramics painting class or for a the girly side mommy and me spa day
I luv all those gifts!! They r so thoughtful, will be enjoyed sooo much & all go together really well. Plus it all feels very equal & fair.
U R really good Jordan @ this. U prioritize yor life so that u can give yor kids this joy during the holidays. It is soo great. & I don't feel like it is spoiling them @ all. It isn't just stuff for stuff's sake & to shwr them & overwhelm them. They r all meaningful gifts that will bring a lot of great memories to yor kids & fam.
Agree. Doing a great job momma!
Remember - life is not fair or equal. So, you keep doing what God shows you for each and with Him as their center- they will be best equipped to adjust and flex as normal “stuff” of life happens.
Also- good learning for hard to buy pp- likely thoughtful or time related memory gifts will be special in hindsight.
Very well done mom and dad.
That is some really well thought out gifts, especially the trip/ yes day. That will be super memorable xx
I laughed out loud when you said Mr. Dev loves to cart things around the house; reminded me of my boys. I just love when little kids cart things from here to there and take it so very seriously...sooo precious😂 Blessings.
Omg your kids have grown up so much!! Hutch looks so precious in his suit 🥺❤️
Actually really enjoyed this video so much. I got so many different ideas from it. I always wish people would sit down and show everything they get for each person, even everyone outside of the immediate family (would love to see from you also). I struggle with overthinking gifts and it stresses me out every year. Gift guides are helpful but then I wonder how many items for each person, what items go together, how much to spend, and what of those items people actually purchase and give. This visual was amazing even though I only have 2 kids! Thanks for your transparency. Would enjoy seeing exact prices next year. I think the more detail, the more relatable.
A mother/daughter date day for gift #10 would be so fun!!
i love these videos! They help so much and even after Christmas! I will be watching all of these next October!!!
Ahhh, that's so awesome. I love your videos! 😊 Thanks for your time!
It’s nice to see a family that’s reasonable!
We surprised our artistic daughter last yr with tkts to see Hamilton & she loved it! Or, maybe take her for a mommy & me spa day. 💅🤗
Love seeing what you got all your kids! Very interesting video!
Love seeing these gifts!! Great ideas
I used to play with lightbright back in the seventies.
Merry Christmas to all , wishing you joy and peace at Christmastime and in the new year xx
I think she’d love a trip to Color Me Mine!! They have a location in Provo at the Riverwoods and her artistic self would love it!!
Does Priya care about jewelry? Being her age and getting a nice chain in a jewelry box would be so precious!
I love these kinds of videos they give me ideas for my kids
Sister Page, way don't you surprise your twelve-year-old daughter with a mother and daughter trip. As she gets older, she's gonna find things like this very special and endearing. She will remember this special gift that you gave her for christmas. Also, give your older children journals that they can write about the things that are special in their life and things that they would like to remember. They have great books for your twelve and thirteen year old about investments and saving money, these are other great gifs to give them.
Little things like this make it even more special for your older children. You and your husband are great parents and you're doing a great job.❤🎉
Great job. Good ideas for next year.
A day trip with just you or maybe an easel. You did a fantastic job and I remember lite brite. I never had one and that motorcycle is too cute
The Gabb phone is really interesting. My son is only 16 months old so he won't need a phone for a long time, but I'm glad there are things like that on the market.
Wowee! I have two sons and thought I was being extravagant! But this is next level!!
So fun. Great job ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jordan! You are such a great lady! Your videos are empowering and SO helpful!!! Thank you for all you do!!!
Beck's tech deck set is so cool. I hope he isn't bummed not to see it under the tree. But the rest of his gifts r so cool too & I luv that u got some of the same for both the older boys.
Finally! I was waiting forever for this video lol😂
When your kids open gifts; do you do each child at a time so everyone can see what they get or do you just let them go at it?
I LOVE these videos!
Love watching your videos! I’m pregnant with #8 so it’s great to see how other large families do things.
Also just an fyi..the play sand you got them isn’t kinetic sand. It’s just sand like you’d put in a sandbox. Kinetic sand is a completely different texture. They have really affordable sets at Target!
How fun! I don't think it's too much especially since it's every other year!
Christmas morning Chaos Vlog!
❤ I love how every one of your kids have different personalities
Needle felting for the creative girl 😊
Great ideas! TFS!❤
Will you be visiting the cabin soon? I love your cabin vaca videos! Need a new tour!
I am curious how big their stockings are? One of those blankets would not begin to fit in our stockings. Lol. Thank you for all your tips and tricks! I love watching you and your family! So glad you are feeling better! Merry Christmas!
The sweatshirt you got Hutch is totally giving Zach Morris vibes. Especially paired with those high top sneakers.
When our kids we're young we bought for Christmas and for Birthdays. only clothes before school and when they outgrew them. Great job.
This was fun to see, thx!
What intentional parenting heart❤
I was hoping for one of these 😊
Watching this video was soooo satisfying, love it!! How do you deal with the clutter of all these toys accumulated? Do you have a system to donate some before getting new ones? I am overwhelmed with how much stuff kids get. Thanks Jordan! 😘
My daughter has that exact same doctor toy. She plays with it every day ❤
Rock tumblers are great gifts also, pair it with rock paint pens or even jewelry making supplies
Jordan I am soo glad u shared that w/ us!
I am shocked u rn't worried bout it getting back to yor kids? Hopefully no one who views this will spill the beans.
(I am thinking if one of yor kids' classmates' parents follows u & the mate saw the parent viewing this video & found out wat one of yor kids was getting & told them.)
Ugghh I hope that nvr happens b/c it is really fun seeing wat u do for yor kids for Christmas
Oh myyy😮 That is sooo many gifts🙈
Use your budgeting skills and remember fair but not equal as kids grow.
Also- they don’t buy at will through the year “just cuz” gifts like some.
But everyone’s kids and appreciation levels are different too.
Keep everything in perspective.
If you hear at the end- she explains it’s NOT every year. They do a family thing one year - gifts the next.
Point is- find out your children’s INTERESTS and help develop w/fun and educational as well as shareable gifts.
10 is a normal amount of gifts for each child. One year I did a join Christmas with a friend. She had 2 young girl, I had 2 older boys. I did about 10 gifts - 2 nice sweatshirts, 4 themed items from their favorite show, new headphones, pajamas, robe, candy treats, $25 gift card. My friend? Each kid must have had 30 gifts.... took up half the living room! My kids felt some type of way about it, but we just can't really afford it - Thanksgiving, birthdays, traveling, entertaining, that takes most of the budget. 🤷♀️ they get whatever they need in the year too, like the rule that if a game is on-sale on the Xbox, they don't have to ask, if it's under $20 and worth more than $29, they can just order it and if the card goes through, its fine! I also pay their subscriptions through the year like for my son's anime, roadblocks, etc. Versus a lot of parents don't allow those subscriptions, and we traveled anywhere from twice a month to every 3 months for at least a weekend, sometimes longer during covid when we homeschooled, and many families only take a trip once every 2 or 3 years! So for me, I gave less gifts for Christmas and usually no gifts for birthdays once child is 9 - they got a meal out, cake, balloons, family time, and a new shirt or outfit for that day 🤷♀️ I was a single mom. Their dad would buy them 1 large thing they needed. I'm now remarried and trying desperately to conceive with my wife - this baby will have 2 incomes instead of 1, and 2 different people buying gifts! So I'm sure even as an older child, it'll be more gifts, but we live In sort of a small house, the rooms are small but we have 3 bedrooms for what will be 1 child - so I think my spouse will keep that in mind when purchasing items! A lot of times we will get things for outside. That, too, when I did have kids (my older boys moved out somewhat recently to get to know their dad) we went more overboard for Easter (outdoor toys, usually a trip, out to eat if not, new outfit, egg hunt, lots of "gifts" in basket that were not just candy or a stuffy) because it's around tax time - it made more sense that way. Easter was a bigger celebration because it was just more financially responsible and most people feel the burn most around Christmas.
Thanks for sharing! Curious the size of the stockings. 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄
Wow this is so much. How do you handle toy management?? We do want/need/wear/read. My daughter is getting a bead set she wants and a puzzle, stationary she needs, a skirt to wear, and a couple books to read. And that's it. One of the reasons why is because we want to emphasize time with family and not gifts, and I would go insane with tot management if we got her so many toys.
Rotate and donate or sell old toys.
Great gifts
Hi Jordan! Such great gifts for your kids! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
i love these.
i have 4 kids under 5 omg am saving this for eid day.soo many ideas
FABULOUS ☃️🧤❄
I love Jordan ❤❤❤❤
Love it ❤️ Can you believe how fast Christmas is coming?? For Priya what about a Mommy Daughter overnight staycation in Park City?
If Priya wants to go on a trip, could you give her a handmade voucher promising a day over the holidays where she could have an exclusive trip with Mom, to the store of her choice to pick something from the post Christmas sales.
Merry Christmas
We have that same drone. Even tho it was cheap it’s actually really nice. Had it for a year for our 8 year old and it still holding up.
Is there a reason why you’re no longer doing 3 gifts per kid?
They get 3 gifts every year that ends in an even number along with a family vacation. This year ends in an odd number so they stay home and get 8-10 gifts.....that's the gist of what she's says at the end of the video.
I can't imagine having to wrap all those gifts!!
Jordan u r so good @ planning & getting deals some peolle might think that all those gifts ended up costing alot more than the actual total came out to be.
I love that u decided 8 was enuf for the littles. It still seems like enuf for them yet 10 didn't seem too much for the olders either
Where is the tents from? They are cute. Great haul for your kiddos.
Could the last Priya gift be a delayed gratification one- a $x gift card for your/her next trip?
I want the comfy. I'm gonna order one today lol.
Glad you're back! Would love to see more tips on teaching capable kids, chores, getting them to do their responsibilities without nagging! 😂
Can you do a video about their stockings, please? Like what you put in there and the budget and stuff? Thanks!
I need to know, will you and Bubba wrap everything yourselves?
Good set of makeup brushes
Jordan did u buy most of this stuff online or actually go out to stores on black friday?
I would LOVE a "what is each of my childrens ages and what theyre into this year" type of video for next year. We have some new teenagers and preteens welcomed into our family this year and i struggled with their presents lol
Great video, just a suggestion on a fun excursion, if you ever have a gymnastics or live cheerleading, competition near you, I loved going to those, I still enjoy them. I have been to the American cup, and the World Cup for gymnastics, both great experiences.
Jordan, the boys can buy a 1 year Nintendo family subscription with the gift cards so they each have a profile and can save and have access to a vast array of games for the switch! They have games from the original 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and I believe Sega Genesis also. My son has this (just for himself, not the family plan since we dont use it very much). How exciting for them. 😊 If they ever have joy con issues, Nintendo fixes them for free. They will even send you a mailing label to mail them in, fix it, and return them to you. Have a merry Christmas!
Will there be any sales coming up on your cookbook for the new year 🎉??
J can you shared the link for the pop tent and the little motorcycle 😊
For Priya, If she likes all the beauty stuff maybe a trip to the spa. It’s a little more expensive but it’s a gift and mini trip in one 🤷🏼♀️
Or like an art class, I did a 4 week pottery making class with my mom was an awesome gift I got my mom who’s hard to get things for!
We do the same with 5 kiddos ❤
Maybe not “fun” per say but my 12 year old daughter was the same this year, didn’t really want anything so I got her a face cleanser spinning brush from Ulta, I think she’s going to absolutely love it because she’s really into skin care so it was like one of those didn’t know she really wanted it but will love it kind of gifts 😊
How exciting! I’m nervous because instead of gifts I am surprising my 4 with a family vacation (we’ve never had one all together ) I’ve hustled so hard with no days off the last several months to make it happen. I’m just hoping they won’t be upset there isn’t much to open, but I really thought the experience and memories would last longer anyway. Merry Christmas to you and the family! ❤️
So cute I can’t believe there is no LEGO !!! Also I got excitted for the gab phone for my 11 year old daughter but of course they don’t have them in Canada lol
I’m so glad I’m not the only one to buy gifts with “back up” options. 😅
For priya you could do a mom and daughter day! Nails lunch maybe a movie?? Would be so nice and kinda a mini day trip!
Great video! I loved it and I do not hav3 children. I do work with children as a nanny so I love seeing what other kids want or like! Thanks!
