 Hey now, take a step outside and seize the day now, set aside your worries it's so Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. I am so excited about doing this video because this means that you're going to start seeing a little bit more Christmas inspired videos throughout the next couple weeks and I just love Christmas I love what it's about and just being a family and I love watching these kind of videos because they give me so many tips and tricks and if you guys watch my channel often you know that I am like an Amazon queen I get like pretty much everything from Amazon. I got a lot of really great stuff to show you but I got to tell you the other reason why I'm so excited to do this video so I teamed up with my friend Katie Satelli here on YouTube we video chat a lot she is from California we've never met in person but we get along great and she is just a ball of fun like she's the type of girl that I know that if we got together we would be laughing and having a total blast because we do that just on the phone and yeah we just get along really really well and the other thing that's really cool is she's got kids ages six four and one so if you have kids around these ages mine are two three and four you're going to get a ton of inspiration plus she has a son so if you need some boy in spell definitely check out her video I'm going to leave the link in the description box also don't forget to subscribe to her channel because she does a ton of content that is super similar to mine and she's just a really cool person and somebody that I totally appreciate in my life also if you are coming from Katie's channel I want to tell you welcome my channel has a little bit of literally everything I'm a very busy mama I do lots of DIYs and cleaning and just being living the mom life really and like I said I have three daughters that are really close in age and I just love being a mom and I love being a homemaker and I love inspiring and encouraging other people so if you like what you see definitely stick around hit the subscribe button and let's get into this okay if you guys are regular viewers of mine you know where these came from but I thought I would share anyways so these are our stockings this year I am in love first of all they're so soft now the best part about this is my mom actually made these and she just launched her Etsy shop so she does a lot of sewing and a lot of really fun like mommy and me or like kid inspired stuff but she decided since it was Christmas time to open up with stockings she makes blankets and lots of other things I will leave the link in the description box and whenever I told her about what I wanted for my stockings I really stressed the fact that I wanted like something with a good size that I could really fit a lot in because nothing's more frustrating than having stockings and then you can't even use them or put the things that you got for them inside of them so um and then another little tip I wanted to give you guys is I actually stuff mine with like grocery bags I just feel like it helps them hang a little bit nicer and it's something I already have around and it's not something that fills it up super bulky but my girls were like squeezing them and they're like what what's in their mom is the candy and it's yeah it's just grocery bags so all of them look the same and I think my mom's going making us some um like tags with our names on them and yeah so I'm really happy with these and I think they're going to go with like any Christmas decor that I will have for the next couple years and I'm super excited to use them this year okay this year for my daughter's stockings I actually went to Target and I did get a few things there and then I got a few other things from Amazon and because they're so close in age and because they are all three girls it kind of simplifies some things I'm going to go into what I got from Target first if you guys watch my vlogs you might remember the other week I actually showed you some of the stuff and then some of the things from Amazon I didn't even really like open or look at so but I obviously ordered them so I know what it is but we'll discover some of this together I'm going to start off with these socks a lot of the stuff I got from Target was a dollar and these are super soft they're like little unicorn socks I actually may because I got some other sock type things from Amazon I'll show you in a second but I may end up putting these in their Christmas Eve boxes last year was the first year I did Christmas Eve boxes and basically it's super simple I just do like a bag of popcorn and some new PJs and then we um I like to give them like one or two new Christmas books every year so we have a few and I just pack them away with my Christmas decor and then we get them out and we read them like Christmas Eve so I'll probably pick up a couple of those um some books and then yeah so these may end up because I found something else that I love for their stockings so these might end up in their Christmas Eve boxes but they're really soft and they're only a dollar they also had different sizes I did want to mention that so I did get different sizes for my girls okay so my girls are at the age where Chapstick is a really big deal so I got them each a little it's a strawberry lip balm for in their stocking I know they're gonna be super happy about this and then another thing that I also picked up from the dollar spot but I wanted to tell you guys I did find them for a really good price on Amazon so if I can refine that link they're not exactly like this but they're very like Christmas and winter themed so these are like the jelly I don't know the glare is so bad um but they're like the jelly window clings and I thought this would be a really fun thing for them to do Christmas I'm not sure I need to talk with Corey but I'm not sure when we're going to do their stockings I can't remember even how we did it last year I think that we did it in the morning like and then like eight lunch and then had them do their gifts in the afternoon the other thing that I think the year before we did is we let them open their stockings Christmas Eve but if I do a Christmas Eve box again this year I don't know let me know in the comments how you do stockings and if you do stockings and gifts and like what order you do all of that stuff in I would love to have inspiration and ideas on how you guys do it something the girls really love are glow sticks but I feel like these are so much more practical just because they last so much longer so and they're long they fit really well into a stocking all of this stuff they had boy options as well and then the last thing from Target I also got them are these squishies and my girls are like obsessed with these things I don't know if it's just a little girl thing or what but they love them so much and I also found winter inspired ones on amazon as well so I will link the amazon versions of this stuff below because I know not everybody has a target or it just might be more convenient instead of remembering to look for all this stuff just to grab them now heading into the amazon stuff last year I started a little tradition with the girls where I get them each a water bottle for their stocking I feel like it's something that will carry through the years and it's like we always need more water bottles new water bottles so it's just something that I don't know I just decided that's the time of year that I'm going to be getting them new ones I do get them other times but anyways amazon conveniently had a three pack and this is actually the brand that I buy them all the time just because they're like very reliable and leak proof and I feel like um they do really well in the dishwasher and yet the dishwasher gets them really clean but these are a little bit different so obviously I'll be opening this up and splitting them up um but the reason they're a little different and I'm not sure how it's going to go especially for my two-year-old is they have this press in part that that's how it opens to drink um so I don't know we'll give it a shot and they're gonna be so excited they always love getting new ones new cups anything I'm I'm a cup person I'm a drink person a really big drink person um if you guys follow my channel you know that and so like new cups and tumblers and things like that I get really excited about and I think my girl's kind of got the bug too because this always makes them super excited this is something new to me I know a lot of my mom friends use them but they are these um on the go water wow pens and um I know that a lot of moms really rave about them so this one had more almost like girly type themes this one's I guess not really but these two things are so their amazon has these in a three pack and they're super inexpensive um and you put water in here and that's how the colors show up on the pages is with just a little bit of water which is like perfect for the car or just really being here at home that they're not coloring on things that they shouldn't be but I wanted to say they also have another three pack that's more boy oriented and I will link both below so that if you have a boy um you can get in on the steel as well all right these I didn't really even open them up but they were a huge huge pack of these little scrunchies ooh they have a really good oh these are going to be awesome these are going to be absolutely perfect for my girls so they look like this and I forget how many are in here there's plenty in here and I know it did not cost that much and it looks like there might be a few duplicates so what I'm going to do is just divide these up in their stockings and give them each some there's just like like I don't know if you can see all the different prints but they are going to love these they are such girly girls when it comes to this kind of thing and stuff like this is so simple for them to share and I can just divide it out between their stockings all right so I haven't really opened this I just ripped the end up because I knew what it was um so I'm curious oh my gosh these are so cute so these I'm going to divide out and I think they're sick yeah so they'll each get two pairs and actually I think I'm just going to open them so you guys can see them better oh my goodness they're so cute and I know the variety in these packs was huge they had like so many different kinds of like color schemes in the packs and stuff so this is what they look like they're these like long socks and the fun thing about these is they don't have a heel they're like the true tube socks so um even though my daughters are you know a little different sized it'll work out and some of them I can either scrunch them up or just hike them up over their knees um I just think these would be so cute they have like little combat boots so if I did these over top of like their leggings and just like scrunch them up I just feel like they would be adorable so here's a kitty one and like I said they had so many different um like prints and if we use these a lot I'm probably going to reorder because these are like really good quality I am super super impressed and then one of the things I did not get yet um just because I have some time and I just haven't I've been busy I haven't really um put a lot of thought into it but I do like to put a few treats into their stocking the last two years one thing that I did is I literally just got a box of fruit snacks and loaded up you know divvied them out and loaded up their stockings with fruit snacks because they love fruit snacks um and I know that Amazon had some really really cute like Christmas themed suckers and I will leave a link for them below but they were like you know snowmen and other things like a mixed box of them so I'm not exactly sure exactly what kind of treats I'm going to get them but that will be one of the things added to all of this I've been getting a lot of messages and you know questions about the fact of Christmas and sharing ideas and things like that and I know I'm going to get this question so I'm just going to go ahead and tell you guys right in this video so I am not going to be doing a like gift guide for men or stocking slippers for men because my husband is like the worst at like okay like he already tries to get out of me what he's getting for Christmas and whatever and I'm afraid if I make video he will go watch it and ruin the surprise so for the sake of surprise I'm not going to be doing anything of what I'm giving Corey um and yeah it's just what I decided to do anyways that is pretty much what they're getting in their stockings I'm really happy with it I feel like it's very age-appropriate and we've got some things that they can use like the socks and these and their water bottles and some other things that I know that they're going to have fun with and I feel like also that most of these things were pretty budget friendly so don't forget to go and check out Katie's video I'm excited to watch her video as well and I know she also is going to have some Amazon things so things that you guys can click order and get it off your list so sure to click on that link below to go watch her video and I hope you guys have an amazing holiday season and just remember it's not all about all the stuff and the things but more importantly about who we love and the people that are around us and spending time with family and yeah just keeping those things in mind and not getting caught up in all the hustle and bustle and I'm saying that even to myself because I feel like you can get so consumed into the rat race of trying to get ready for holidays and just get all swept up into it and I just need to remember myself to keep what's most important in front of me anyways if you're new here I'd love it if you subscribed and I will see you guys in my next video
