My 2 daughters, granddaughter and myself love charity shopping. As they are all grown up now, I said I would fill a carrier bag each for them with items from the charity shops for Christmas for a bit of fun. Lots of random items, clothing, you can't buy in everyday shops, will be great fun and better than giving a gift they've chosen.
Festive Greetings, Monica!! I've so enjoyed all of your vlogs. I would like to wish you, your husband and your family a very Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year too!!
Woodgreen Ipswich is a fantastic charity shop, so well stocked 💚. Really enjoyed the video Monica, you made so many great Christmas gift purchases of both second hand and new. I'm sure your Mum will love the Hamper and the thought you put into it. Too many to mention but both scarves were real finds. Glad you got a couple of things for yourself too.....the navy blazer is perfect, and that lining gives it an edge. Look forward to any follow-up videos. Thanks for an enjoyable and relaxing shared shop.
You did so well at finding beautiful things to put together to build your hamper for your Mum.. Charity shops outside of London seem to have better prices. Always a lovely watch - thank you x
As someone who’s made hampers for years, for school PTA events and family occasions. I love making hampers at Christmas in addition to second hand I also put in hand made, edible treats that go down a storm at Christmas 🎄. Happy holidays Monica to you and your family 😘
Another brilliant video! A thrifted hamper is such a great Christmas tradition to have. Really #eco and #ethical and so much more thoughtful and fun to find those oerfect gifts!🎉🎁🎄
Monica I am so so so glad that I've Found your UA-cam Channel and your videos are really really a therapy for me sending you lots of love💗✨🤗 and I will always be your biggest biggest supportive
Monica, l do like all of your tips in your videos that you share. When you go shopping and put together your hampers, they would be my favourite videos of yours. And when you catch up with Leonora and Alex.
I absolutely love asmr and you have that gift! Have you thought of doing it as a sideline Monica ? I live in Australia (since 1975 when I was 18 and only recently since I’ve added asmr to UK. seriously you are one of my favourites - you are very special and your woof is very gorgeous xx
Greetings dear Monica!!! You are a very sweet and thoughtful gal---not to mention very beautiful as well. What a lovely gift for your Mum!!! It takes time and thought to put together such a useful and thoughtful gift basket!! I have no doubt that your Mum is as beautiful as you are!! Lovingly, Jules
Great hamper do you wrap the basket in cellophane and ribbon etc? Perhaps you could show it wrapped. I make them sometimes for people I love doing that. But I’ve never thought of getting things from the charity shops good idea!
Lovely video Monica. You have just imparted your enthusiasm for Christmas shopping into me. I am planning to go on Saturday to buy all the stocking filler bits for my grandchildren as well as items for their Christmas eve box. I loved the berry coloured scarf and the slippers you found. Hope you are well . Sending my love. Lisa xxxx
The Charity shops in Ipswich look great and have fab prices too. Where I live the charity shops are full of bobbly old jumpers and tops that should go in the rag bag and they are over priced! Must get to Ipswich sometime.
Dear Monica, thank you for this wonderful video! As a fellow thrifter, I understand all too well you grabbing things for yourself too as you go. I've made the mistake a few times to leave items behind with the idea to return to them later...only to find they are gone forever. Seize the day 💖
I wonder if you know how important videos like this are? Just goes to show how you don’t have to get yourself into debt every year just to impress your kids, family and other people you don’t even like in order to have a good Christmas.
A great shop. Some nice things there. The charity shops here are not as nice. Things are not well placed. It sometimes makes me leary. This was great. Would you show how you wrap the hampers once completed.Thanks much.😊
Really enjoy your content as I buy most things in my life secondhand from golf clubs to clothes, cars to Christmas and I have saved £££thousands. I have a number of friends who would never buy used items and think more fool them. Our money goes so much further and if it doesn't work out it just gets recycled back to the charity shops etc Could you do something for men please ? Ps Liked and subscribed

Hello Monica excited for this video , have a nice time shopping ❤🎉😊 xx
Another great shop
HI MONICA WHAT A FAB CHARITY SHOP AND WHAT BEAUTIFUL BARGAINS HOPE YIU GOTVYIURSELF THAT JACKET IT WAS FAB X
What fab things you got for your mums hamper
The Charity shops in Ipswich look great and have fab prices too. Where I live the charity shops are full of bobbly old jumpers and tops that should go in the rag bag and they are over priced! Must get to Ipswich sometime.
Lovely items. Where i live tho, ive never yet found luxury items or great branded names. So i guess it depends where you are in the country.
What a fantastic charity shop, almost worth a trip from Sussex.

I think the phrase is :
Buying things you don't need with money you haven't got to impress people you don't know
Love the jacket Monica 👍
Love my pearls, too, Monica!
A great shop. Some nice things there. The charity shops here are not as nice. Things are not well placed. It sometimes makes me leary. This was great. Would you show how you wrap the hampers once completed.Thanks much.😊
The jacket is fab on you. I'm jealous, i am still searching for nice jackets, not kucky
If it’s for others that are tight. Food is a great gift
Great video thank you!!
Hi Monica. Could you please link your earrings. Thankyou🌷
Love watching your videos.
New drinking game: take a swig every time Monica says, “You can’t go wrong” or “liddle”.
