At Home Sense, the stool with the marble top was a plant holder. You set your potted plants on top of them.
I think that Americans are very interested in UK shopping expeditions. This is a great idea.
That “bowl” looks like a bread basket. Put a tea towel in there and warm bread and you’re all set. Love your shopping vlogs. Would love to see more of the local shops as well. Also, your tan is holding up quite nicely. Have a great week and see you in the next vlog.
I actually used it as a bread basket this weekend!!! Had some nice compliments about it too!! haha!
@@BobsCreativeDays I came here to say the same thing. As I was watching it, I kept saying “it’s a bread bowl” 🙂
@@TheJoelWood If the basket is stoneware, you can heat it in the oven and it keeps your bread warm. Definitely think its a bread basket whether its oven proof heating or not. xoxo
Oooooo....MORE shopping please, Joel!! Your "Shopdar" works very well. 😅
haha thank you Vicki!! I'll definitely do more!!!
When I was in London, I loved shopping and comparing items and prices to ours in the US.
Loved this! English women living in Florida! I have never thought of you as a spendo! You come off as very sensible - ❤
I think part of the allure of these videos is that going shopping is a universal experience and so it’s fun to go with our friend Joel! It’s not just seeing the inside of the stores that’s interesting, it’s your reactions to what you’re seeing and finding and feeling like we are right there with you!
Yay! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
When I first read the title, I thought it was a joke for Americans, since they sound like Homegoods and TJMaxx. Then I saw the video and those are the actual names of the stores in the UK, crazy!! lol
I really like watching people's decision-making process for what to buy, regardless of whether they purchase anything or not, so this was fun for me, haha.
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Joel!! Love following along on your shopping excursions. Doesn’t matter to me if we have the same stores in the US. In fact, I really enjoy seeing what’s different in other countries. Fun fact-my dad had that bird clock. It was one of his favorite things. It now hangs in my garage and brings back sweet memories of him.
Did he??? That's so fun! I reckon I'll be into bird watching when I'm older - it's a slippery slope after getting into plants haha!
I love this type of videos. Also , it is fun walking exercise by just entertaining fun in exploring the stores. It is one of best ways to do walking exercise during extreme hot humid days to extreme cold days. I do same walking exercise within libraries, art galleries , indoor flea markets with cooling fans to heaters , thift stores , antique stores , used book stores , museums , malls and indoor gardens. Though , it's more healthwise beneficial for myself with my heart birth defect disease issues and my arthritis during these extreme weather days. Plus , I do enjoy finding hidden treasures to buy during my indoor walking exercises.
Yes, i want to see UK shops.
I want to live in the UK through you.💕
I always forget about home sense. That bird clock, my grandmother, who was a big birdwatcher, had one that would chirp each bird sound for the hour it was on.
Your white basket is just what I've been looking for for a double Orchid plant to fit into a window sill. But it's perfect for the middle of the table counter for whatever you decide to put into it.
I love seeing all the different things and what folks decide to buy and pass on too.
Happy soggy day.
I love shopping with you! Thanks for bringing us along! The piece you bought reminds me of a farmer's market vibe. I was imagining fruit inside. Lemons and oranges, or apples. Great for offering a healthy snacky snack as needed! 😂 I enjoy a good TJ Maxx shop! Never know when the vibe will hit! Always ❤
That's what Keegan said, Holly! He thought it'd make a good fruit basket!!
@@TheJoelWood Great minds!!! 😊
Omg I loveee the sequin little toadstall lamp!
We love to compare and in some ways the shops seem nicer there than here. More organized.
I love watching whatever you do. You’re relaxing and just a nice guy. I’m sure you’ve been told but you could be related to Tom Daley. You have the same look and wonderful energy.
Home “Goods” in America is my favorite shop. I have to say your Home Sense is better and had more things in it. My mom made me a bread basket out of ceramic that looks just like the white “bowl” you purchased. It made me smile when you bought it. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week. ❤
You could totally use the basket for loads of different things. Some artisan soaps in your bathroom for example. Or bread rolls on the table. Or perhaps fruit.
I love a good ratch around TK Max
Joel, it is always fun to watch your store/shopping adventures no matter where they are. I think most of us just enjoy being along on your life journey with you. You always make things interesting and positive energy is greatly appreciated! Keep smiling 😊
I loved the video Joel. As an American I love seeing stores that we do have (like Costco and this vid) but also intrigued by British stores. Mostly just here for your commentary on any and all. Fun to hear another's unfiltered and off the cuff thoughts.
I love the print of the mustard. I need that in my kitchen. 😊
I know I enjoy seeing the differences in stores there versus here. The products looking different or even being branded different wasn't something I thought much of until I had a roommate from another English speaking country.
The "ceramic basket" you got you can put a cloth or tea towel in it and display some fresh fruit ,oranges or apples, or even put some small potted plants ,or flowers. Or potted herbs.I like the trips to the store or walks so we can see different scenery.
Oh Joel! You needed that swan watering can!
hahaha I should've gotten it haha!
I enjoying shopping it’s relaxing therapy for me. I like seeing what stores have to offer and what deals I can find. The watering can was too cute. The bread bowl was a great choice . I also treat myself to some of the gourmet food items available .It gives me chance to see what’s trending, a fresh look at new items and unique pieces to make one’s home unique to fit your tastes and personality. I love TJ Maxx, Marshalls HomeGoods and Ross here in America as well as many other stores….Hahaha Thanks for the video and keep them coming.🤗
Yes Joel, this could be it. We love to see UK through your eyes.
Aw thank you!! I’ll Defos do more!
We're interested in anything you do! You're such a sweetheart.
Aw thanks Cathy!
I think we may have a hit seriessss lol never thought I’d love shopping with someone else
haha!! Maybe I should make it into a full blown series!! I never thought anyone would be interested in coming shopping with me haha!
Yay, a shopping vlog, it’s fun tagging along with you, so keep ‘em coming! 🙂 I love a good poke around TJ Maxx here in the US, it’s like a treasure hunt! 🙂 And it is ABSOLUTELY fine (and encouraged, at least by me 😉) to buy a pot you like, and then find the plant to go in it. I know I’ve done it once or twice … 😂 Have a great week ahead! ❤
You can use that bowl to put fruit, apples, citrus and the like, out on the counter or tabletop. you can also use it to serve bread at dinner. Just place a white napkin inside to hold the bread and keep it warm. Did not know that Home Sense is also in the United States, maybe not here in the west. We do have Home Goods which I don't care much for and is owned by TJ MAXX another store that I don't frequent myself. Once you reach a certain age; rather than acquiring things we tend to jettison excess items from our lives. As for a large outdoor pot, perhaps a larger or more specialized outdoor place might have them. Here, we have two places that sell literally acres of ceramic pots, some big enough for either you or even Keegan to literally fit into . Most of that comes from Mexico. Since most of the stuff that you show is now pretty much global in nature. Soon, every home around the World will have the same looking stuff. No regional differences. Sad!☹
I too love your shopping videos! When you said soggy Tuesday i laughed. Than I thought soggy bottom, than I thought the British baking show, than I thought cake and coffee! Awww the human Brain 🧠. God help us!
I want to see Keegans reaction to that impractical bowl thing haaha
he thought it'd make a good fruit bowl.. except we don't buy much fruit haha!
I would buy those disco mushroom lamps!
I like these going to UK shops videos you always found some good stuff on the shelfs. A B&Q one will be lol £1 orange buckets 😆😆😆
Love a shopping day! 😍
Rattan heaven lol
I’m here in the US and here the stores are called TJMAXX and HOME GOODS. Love 💕 your videos.
I knew it was TJMaxx but had no idea it was called Home Goods!!! haha!
🌎🤠🐻👋😎 Been watching you since 2019. I love your shopping videos. I was in Southampton UK in June 2024 on holiday. Wonderful time. Salutations from coastal Mississippi 🎉
What a cute bread basket!
Thank you! 😊
End of the summer clearance at HomeSense always yields good pot prices. I picked up a pair of huge planters at a healthy markdown one year, and they have stood the test of time.
Brilliant! Love this.
I went into a B&M for the first time in my life, ever last week. I always thought it was a down-market store. It was amazing! I bought an air fryer, cleaning stuff, a galvanised watering can , compost and garden plants!
So good isn't it!! I might do a B&M video. It's so great for laundry stuff - very cheap!!
@@TheJoelWood Yep do it! Great store, really underrated.
Ooh Joel, Your getting a little "Mr Carrington" on us! LOL. Yes, I enjoy seeing the same retailers in both countries, UK vs US. I am surprised how many UK creators are surprised when seeing a US Costco when UK has Costco and seems to be quite similar.
I am happy that you used my membership funds to treat yourself.
❤❤❤ absolutely loved this shopping video, a big YES to more .
Yay! Thank you!
Love all your videos and the shopping videos are fab! Love the bread basket. A tea towel and some hot rolls and you’ve got a lovely basket for them. If I saw one of those in my Home Goods, I’d buy it in a New York second. Love it! Thanks for taking us along. Hope you do it again soon.
I'd watch you go around a paint shop and have you review paint I could listen to you talk about mat vs high gloss paint
Loved shopping with you!! B&Q is the same as our North American Home Depot so sure would love that journey if you like!! Thanks for letting us hang out with you!!
Thank you Susan! I'll try to do a B&Q one soon! Thanks for watching!
Love the lattice basket. The little granite stands make lovely plant stands.
Ooo plants, that makes sense! Maybe I'll have to go back Stephanie! haha!
Joel, I don't know if they do this in England, but maybe if you had gone to a manager to point out the stain on the ceramic basket to ask if they had another one, (and if they didn't), they would take off a substantial amount, they do it here in the U.S..Always great to see you, please say Hi to Keegan and the kiddos.
Thanks for taking us along👍💕
I love that basket. I would have bought it and used it for fruit.
The clock cracked me up. I have the original clock when it was an as seen on TV thing. We still have it in our kitchen. On the hour whatever bird is pictured, it chimes the bird call. So if there is an owl at 1200, you have owl hooting. For years, I had the bird calls turned off. Then I turned it back on freaked out my cats for days. They kept looking for the birds. 😅
Interesting names of the stores since in America they are TJ Maxx and Home Goods. And I’m sure if I went in them right now, I’d see the same products. That was a good price on the bowl.
Show the autumn and halloween stuff that tk maxx and home sense have in now. That would be great
Thanks for sharing your shopping excursions. I love your opinions about the various things and prices. Your voice is so soothing and relaxing. Personally, I hate and avoid shopping for things I need like food, clothing and just basic life things. However, I've spent hours in the local comic book store checking out almost every title. To each his/her/their own, I guess.
Quote of the Day: “…but I don’t want to spend too much money..”
I love this style of vlog. I follow quite a few American and Aussie shopping channels.
In fact, I think you’re adorable, so I’m hitting subscribe now. ❤
Thank you so much 🙂
Use can also use that bowl as a fruit bowl on your kitchen table
Yes love the shop vlogs especially seeing Halloween decor that's offered in the UK. Halloween merch is pouring into the US stores already.
It's a wonder we're not all underwater all the rain we've had
Always love a good shopping vlog! More, please. Any shops-local or chain.
I love shopping videos! The prices are so much cheaper than buying in the US. Those little stands with black metal legs and the marble round top look like plant stands. That is what I see people use them for at least. There are a bunch of videos online of recipes using that pasta. Might be fun if you looked one up and filmed it. It's been a while since you did a cooking/baking video.
Yes they are plant stands
You inspired me to comeback to the reading after months with pain and diseases; Thank you!// Tack så mycket! ❤
My Mom has a bird clock, a different bird makes its noise on the hour. She really likes it.
Thanks for taking us along on your shopping trip! I have never heard of Homesense, but here in America TKMAXX is called TJMAXX.
6:18 TK Max!! Wooo! I can not get over the book prices. 😮
I always wondered lol I love this idea of showing us around but don’t break the bank ❤
A little retail therapy is fine. However when I was on my monthly weeklong business trip I would spend my off time at the local mall in the city I was in that particular day. By the end of the week I would have to buy a large duffle bag to carry all the stuff I bought. Over the years I bought so much stuff I'm still unearthing things that I haven't worn still with the price tag on it.
haha, it's a slippery slope isn't it!
Thank you for taking us around the stores. I love these types of videos
Happy Dia de los Muertos! We'd like to see you guys getting a cheeky Nando's. 😊
Those stores you visited have literally everything, great for gifts.
Ooo good idea!!
Hey Joel, we have Costco in Australia, they call TK Max, TJ Max here. As to the pasta, it’s good pasta according to Italians if it looks porous and has a higher protein content. That makes the pasta sauce stick to the pasta and the pasta stays firmer. I’ve been buying the suggested pasta and I’d have to say it’s better. All the best from Melbourne Australia.
So much fun watching you shop in the UK! In the US , It is called TJ Maxx and Home Goods. I’m curious to know the difference in names?!? 😅
I know why it's TK Maxx rather than TJ (because there was another store in the UK with TJ in the name) but I have no idea why it's not Home Goods in the UK (I thought it was still HomeSense in the US!)
HomeSense only exists in a few states in the U.S. and not in the third largest city (by population) in the country: Chicago. Never even heard of this chain until this vlog on your channel! Is TK Maxx in the UK the same as TJ Maxx in the U.S.? Sooo confusing... Why would they change one of the initials? How weird. 😳 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE SHOPPING VIDEOS, JOEL!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
When TJ Maxx opened in the UK, there was another UK retailer there with the initials TJ something.... so they changed it to not be confused (either as a practicality or a legality, not sure).
If I could make a recommendation...why not check garden centers for the stone planter/urn that you are looking for. Frequently these outlets have a good selection of planters in all sorts of materials. Maybe a bit more expensive, but...
I think that you are nesting Joel! LoL
haha I think so too!
The ceramic basket would be great for fresh fruits.
Big pasta like that would be nice stuffed with spinach and ricotta, or olives and sundried tomatoes and baked in a rich lasagna or bolognaise sauce, yummm
You could use that small stone topped table as a pot stand, Joel.
I think the basket bowl is meant for fruit, but you could use for anything. Love the shopping vids 🥰
I enjoyed shopping with you. We have TJMax and Home Goods. They're both owned by the same company.
Love the shopping vids. My grandma had that exact bird clock!!
One of my favorite things to do when I'm abroad is it to visit all the local stores or the American counterpart. Did I go to TKMaxx in Manchester? Absolutely! (may have gone to Primark, too. lol)
Oh I love doing that too! So much fun!
this was fun to follow you around. Thanks, Joel.
Thank you for watching!
I've seen recipes using that shape pasta that look delicious. Sadly I can't find that pasta where I live.
Tomato and chickpea pasta. Yummm
I would bet you could stuff that pasta with a ricotta blend (my mom used to blend the ricotta with a little sauce.)
Ooo yeah stuffing it would be amazing!!
That small “table” is actually a plant stand! 🙂💖🐈🐈⬛🌈
Thank you for the video!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!!
So funny that your “HomeSense and TK Maxx” are called “Homegoods and TJ Maxx”. Looking at them both, I wonder why the name difference (although it is a small difference). Check out the rugs! That area has great bargains here in the states. Love shopping videos… Retail Therapy-- the best therapy of all 😂! ❤
day of the death, in Mexico, is dia de los Muertos in other Latin American countries, it is dia de los Santos, the Saint's Day, you are right is your money, and buying something makes you happy is ok
I was thinking to myself if he doesn't buy that pot basket I'm going to buy it but then you bought it, how dare you🤣
I think the small, marble-topped table is a plant stand. (at 6:00)
That makes more sense than a tiny table 😂maybe I should've gotten one!
Getting excited by cute people going shopping makes the world go round.
It takes a long time to develop a lasting style. I went through Victorian then IKEA before I harked back to mid century modern and even now it’s a scramble of influences. 🤷♀️ Find your comfy. That’s all. 💐
Your homesense looks so much nicer than the one by me in NY. In the one by me you will see lots of damaged goods and cheap looking furniture. And very messy stores also.
3:16 Joel really said: “Reject tradition. Embrace modernity.”
Love the ceramic tray
Omg I love Homesense and TK I clicked on this quicker than a rat up a drainpipe. No it's mostly mass produced tat* with the odd good quality thing but for magpies like us we cannot resist!
*a higher class of tat lol
hahaha love that you qualified it with "a higher class of tat" 😂
I love your shopping videos. I enjoyed this video as well.😊❤
Lv these videos Joel ❤
Thank you Stephanie!
you could tell people you made that bowl and they would believe it
7:15 not necessarily stone, ivory or pearls can also work (items that could be used as book stand holders, weights, picture frames, etc)
Joel, those "tables" that were heavy at HomeSense are plant stands.
