Thank you for being a kind. caring and generous person. FYI you are buying for that individual child. The gifts do not get dumped and picked out for different people. My 32 yo son still has his teddy bear from his first Angel Tree from when he was 3 months old. So as a past Angel Tree participant, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You don't realize how much this program helped me when I needed it most and couldn't afford ANYTHING. And for you to go above and beyond, with not only the little hygiene kits that I'm positive will mean the world to those kids, but by the amount of Angels you chose! Words just cannot express how thankful, hopeful, and full you made my heart today. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!
I think it’s different in each state/ each Salvation Army. My state/ Salvation Army group the toys are donated and then place out then parent goes and picks the gifts for their child(ren) to then take home and wrap themselves. But, nonetheless kids are getting Christmas gifts and that’s all that matters! I’m glad your son benefitted from this charity!
Clara you are such a sweet, generous person. I have watched a lot of influencers but you are the only one who does this for charity. And it’s not just giving money or gifts randomly, you really put thought in each of these presents. These kids are lucky to have you ❤ God bless you!
very refreshing to see shopping/haul that will make such a significant impact and isn't just glorified overconsumption. thank you for promoting this program!
I love that you do the Angel Tree I don’t see any other influencers I watch do something this great. I use to do this and going to look it up and do it this year.
Wow, Clara you are truly one of a kind. Watching your content always puts a smile on my face but specifically content like this, I’m inspired to go see what my city’s chapter does. Thank you for making us aware of this holiday program!
As a social worker in a SC school this makes my heart melt!! Thank you for making this more mainstream. I can’t tell you how thankful these families are 🤍
I started watching your vlogs because you seemed like such a bright, personable young lady. You videos are relatable and non pretentious. Today, you confirmed what I already suspected. You are such a sweetheart! 💕 I’m so glad you are able to bless so many families for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing such a special video. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
You are an amazing young lady. You are so thoughtful. You touch my heart. God Bless you. You are really an inspiration. Merry Christmas Santa’s little helper.
Clara I just started watching your vids in the last year and I’m obsessed with the recipes, cleaning/organization, home decor and just general lifestyle content, however I must say I am always so touched by the way that you prioritize caring for the community in ways that I’ve never thought to! I absolutely adore this idea of shopping for kids’ xmas lists, what a lovely n thoughtful way to spend the holiday season! Happy holidays and best wishes from Chicago 🥰🫶🏻
I remember when you did this last year and that was when I was really committed to following you. I remember last year when you got a kid a tablet and that was so special because I was on programs like this growing up and we normally didn't get big gifts like that. I've thought about you doing this on and off throughout the entire year and it's made me want to do more for my community as well. So thank you for this ❤
Clara - I hardly ever comment on videos, but I want you to know how much I value your content and your positivity. It’s so refreshing and inspiring to see you have so much joy to give back to others. You’ve got a fan in me!! 🩷
So generous- really using your platform for betterment rather than just encouraging overconsumption or going for the money grab. A lot of your videos aren’t even sponsored!
I think it's so amazing that you do the angel tree each year! I want to do it this year as well and you have also inspired me with all of the cooking recipes that you share in your vlogs :) so happy you're doing vlogmas!!
Clara -- this video was awesome. You are so kind and caring and this inspired me to get more involved with giving back and getting more involved with my community. You are so appreciated and I know I can speak for all of your subscribers when I say that we love you and your content!
I’m so happy I found your channel only a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been binge watching you and I lovedddd this video! You’re so thoughtful, these kids are going to be so happy on Christmas morning! ❤️💚
Clara, I’ve watched you for a bit but never really commented. Just wanted to let you know you’re an amazing human being! These families are so lucky to have you ❤ Have a great holiday season ❄️
What is sweet girl you are to take care of those children on the angel tree that is so sweet. I hope you have a great week and merry Christmas and God bless you.
So I used to volunteer with the Salvation Army and helped on the other side of things. The child you chose does get what you pick out. The only time they don’t is if you get them multiple gifts and there is another child that doesn’t have any, or if they have siblings then they try and make sure they have equal amounts of stuff.
Something you could also do in the future is call the Salvation Army and ask if you can adopt a family. They will usually give you a family that truly doesn’t have much, and they will get everything you buy for them.
hey clara! my mom is a teacher and i asked what educational gifts could be good for a 4-year-old and she said either "hook on phonics" or "leap frog"! a lot of kids these days are struggling with fluency and phonetics in school and i think that would be great idea for you. :) i used it as a good kid and it definitely helped me especially since i have learning disabilities, and struggled a lot with reading. you can buy that stuff second hand online and the mom can buy different workbook and lessons based on their grade level when the child starts school as well. hope this helps!
If people want to give back and can’t do the angel program it’s a great time of year to give directly to a local non profit in your community. If there is a United way you can give to them and they disburse locally or search for the local website for a non profit you like. That has more impact than giving to a national organization.❤
I supported an Angel Tree near me as well. I get to hand in my bags soon. I like your tip about planning ahead. I shop year round for discounted toys and other fun items. I either match them to a tag or set up a bag and bring that to the Salvation Army. They have more tags there. At least that's what happens in my area.
Hey Clara! I’ve been loving your content for so long so thanks for all you do! One question - are you still with your boyfriend? I haven’t heard you mention him in quite a while but there seem to be hints of him still being around like when you said that heating up the pan wasn’t usually your job. Just curious!

I’m 4 months pregnant just sobbing watching this vlog. You are so generous Clara! I wish more influencers were like this
There is a huge Angel Tree trend going on right now with influencers and you have 100% started this. I'm so proud of you
Love how thoughtful you are about it all!! Most generous and genuine influencer out there. Thank you for sharing your angel tree adventures with us!
Thank you for the wording of parent/guardian. This really touched me as someone who received assistance as a kid around the holidays.
I love that you do the Angel Tree I don’t see any other influencers I watch do something this great. I use to do this and going to look it up and do it this year.
Wow, Clara you are truly one of a kind. Watching your content always puts a smile on my face but specifically content like this, I’m inspired to go see what my city’s chapter does. Thank you for making us aware of this holiday program!
Literally said "she's so thoughtful" out loud to myself while watching hahah. Keep being the special person you are, it is so inspiring

Clara, you are an incredibly beautiful person. I find you so interesting and it's so lovely to be able to watch someone genuine in this world of fake.

Hi clara , I was waiting for this video all day, ❤❤❤, I wanna move to Charleston next year. Thanks for sharing your vlogs
You’re absolutely amazing and you’re really going to make these family’s Christmas special!❤️
What is sweet girl you are to take care of those children on the angel tree that is so sweet. I hope you have a great week and merry Christmas and God bless you.
You have a hugely generous and caring heart! ❤️. May God bless you forever!

I will definitely look into doing shopping for my local Angel Tree next year! Looks like so much fun!
Such a refreshing video. You're truly an amazing person

watching you shop was so enjoyable. I will definitely consider doing angel tree next year. thank you!!
Woah, you went all out on these gifts! I really hope the kids enjoy them and the caregivers don’t try to return the gifts to the store for money
I supported an Angel Tree near me as well. I get to hand in my bags soon. I like your tip about planning ahead. I shop year round for discounted toys and other fun items.

That is amazing. So generous. I like the idea of all the hygiene products, as we all need those. 🧑🎄
FYI: you don’t put the items into a big bag so the parents can wrap them. They would never. It’s so the organization can modify the gifts.
I love your generous spirit. It’s wonderful!
Best haul I have ever seen on UA-cam !!! ❤
I can’t wait to make enough money to be able to do this!!! You are so generous 🩷
This is so sweet and inspiring!
You are extremely generous! This encouraged me to get an Angel :)
Omg i just finished day one I was sad it was over now I can’t wait until the next one
love this so much! ❤️
When you do Angel Trees, do you have to buy everything the child wants/needs?
Maybe a Game stop stop gift card for the video game child
Wicked cool vlog! Tanger Outlets Charleston and Mount Pleasant Towne Centre are better options.
Hey Clara! I’ve been loving your content for so long so thanks for all you do! One question - are you still with your boyfriend? I haven’t heard you mention him in quite a while but there seem to be hints of him still being around like when you said that heating up the pan wasn’t usually your job. Just curious!
Clara you are my comfort youtuber As Always🥺💖🥺
Love this
Love that you are doing vlogmas videos. Did you and your boyfriend split up?
XO
