 I was just thinking about how last year I did my own DIY commercial Christmas commercial because I didn't get cast in one and I absolutely love Christmas so last year during vlogmas I made an Etsy commercial where I featured some of my friends Etsy shops. This holiday season we're all looking for affordable gifts that mean something. The best way to find small businesses is on Etsy. Mike and I thought why don't I make another one because I did buy more things off of Etsy Duh for Christmas presents but also for myself throughout the year. I am gathering the things that I have bought from Etsy and seeing what ideas I can come up with. If you go to their YouTube channel Etsy's big thing this year is give more than a gift. Some of them are very sentimental. The commercials that make me cry the most are the ones that people are alone for the holidays like older people alone for the holidays. Oh my god that kills me. So let's come up with an idea. Let me show you the items that I want to use for this DIY commercial starring me written by me, directed by me, edited by me, filmed by me. So I just took this ornament off of my Christmas tree but this is from Jack Manion. This is custom-made. It's based off of our Christmas card from last year. If you guys have ever seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation that's what this is and this is paper and then something else I just got. Is this amazing print from Cat Charles? It is so cool. It's donuts with like jelly but eyeballs. I really like dark art especially when you're playing with something as fun and playful as food and jelly and it's pink and there's teeth right here. The last thing is actually a Christmas present that I got for my sister. I love personalized gifts if you guys saw my gift guide. The shop is called Mini Decor Shop and I saw this cute name plate. Can you guys see it says Katia? This is wrapped in surround wrap to protect it but it's plexiglass and then you put it on this wooden stand and plug it in and it lights up. None of these Etsy shops know that I'm doing this. I'm just doing this for fun. These are the three items that I want to use because I thought if maybe I could fit in like love light and then another word maybe art love light art love because we're a couple light because it's a light and then art but now I have to make it make sense. Maybe I should watch some Etsy commercials to get some ideas or inspo. Another theme that they are using a lot this year is or tagline is give more than a gift. I mean it doesn't have to be like according to what they're going for this year but I just wanted to get inspo like that since I'm doing the whole commercial. What if I do something that's like the storyline or the message is don't buy off of amazon look for something personal and creative something personalized. So I was having some trouble coming up with ideas. I don't know if I'm going to do this one but my partner just suggested that it be cool if I did it in a different style like an infomercial and featured this ornament and talked about how much cooler a personalized ornament and how much better it would be than one that you just get out of a box from like Target or Michaels or whatever. So I'm going to think about that one because that would be fun to do a more comedic one versus last year it was much more sentimental. So maybe that's what we'll do. Okay so I have to give credit to my partner because he gave me a lot of really good ideas and I'm running with it. This is our Christmas card from last year. I photoshopped us into the scene. It says Merry Christmas. Shitter was full and I think it's hilarious. This is the shop that I'm going to be featuring for this commercial. I want to make it 15 seconds about 15 seconds because usually commercials are 15 to 30 seconds the ones that you see online and I'm thinking for the beginning of it making it be me shopping at a store like black and white infomercial style and then at home looking at the bad ornaments and then opening up the custom ornament that I bought from Etsy and transitioning from this Christmas card to this ornament. Okay we just drove to at home to get those clips of the ornaments so let's go. Just got back from the store so now I'm going to set up opening this customized ornament and I thought I would use this cardboard box from the light that I showed you guys earlier to pretend that's how this one came in. So I'm going to wrap it up in this paper and then open it up and I'm going to do a video of this as well transitioning into this. I just finished filming the shots that I want for this commercial so now I'm going to go into the closet and film the voiceover. Do you really want another boring Christmas?
