Admittedly I’m new here …but it always amazes me when people can’t just accept that all families do things differently. We aren’t talking about abuse or deprivation .. it’s Christmas socks people..😂. My kids get socks and gloves in their stockings all the time. Proud sock gifting mom here !
Thank you! Lol 😂 sock moms unite! 🙋🏼♀️
Thank you for the encouragement ❤️
Socks and underwear every year
We love puffy socks every year!!! We get a pack from Costco and share.
I'm 29, I've gotten socks, underwear and clothing basics since I could remember. I still receive these yearly. I turned out okay, it amazes me what upsets people. It will all be okay,people.
Lol 😂 exactly! Yes my kids will survive just like we did! 😉
That’s the best ‘what I got my kids for Christmas’ video I have seen this year. You put so much thought into each child’s gifts and made great use of the resources you had available to you. I have the same chopping board and knife set here in Scotland 🏴 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 xx
Thank you for the sweet words of encouragement! 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! How fun that you have the same set over in Scotland! ❤️ Merry Christmas!
I think you are just fantastic! You have shown that you do not need much money give amazing gifts, but more importantly, you have remained steadfast and positive during your tough season in life. You're doing a wonderful job, Mama!
Thank you so much! 🥰
You ALWAYS amaze me with your commitment to staying within the budget AND the most positive attitude🤗 I have been so excited to see your haul!
Thank you Anna! 🥰
My 18 year old daughter is listening to this video while I'm watching. First off, she is mesmerized by the idea of how you got all that for around $200. She loved the Guardians Owl movie! And she LOVED the wax seal kit you got for your second daughter.
Aww that’s awesome! I love that you’re watching this together! ❤️
Thank you!
This is AMAZING👏 !!! Christmas comes the same day every year and too many people are unprepared and act like they cannot provide for their kids. If you know your child and spend time with them you can provide for very little this is a great lesson for all.
Thank you for this! I do appreciate when people understand my heart behind this! ❤️
I love how thoughtful your gifts are. Really makes me consider bargain hunting and keeping a stricter budget. You found such cool and original gifts ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
I can just see how much fun and joy you have shopping for your children!
Thank you! ❤️ I really do find so much joy buying gifts for my sweet family!
Thank for this amazing video! I homeschool and we have 5 kids and every year I always spend too much. You inspired me to spend much less next year. I love to go thrifting and we are blessed to have so many excellent thrift stores in our area and a few surplus stores too.
Yay!!! I love that this inspired you to spend less! ❤️ that is the best!
Growing up socks and underwear were 2 presents my sisters and I could count on. I loved all the things you got for your kiddos!
Same here! I always loved getting new socks and underwear lol 😂
Thank you! ❤️
THE BEST "What I bought for Christmas" video by far this year. What an inspiration! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! 🥰 that is a HUGE compliment!
I loved getting socks as a kid and I still do at 29. They don’t have to be boring socks. There are so many cute designs and patterns you can find even at the Dollar Tree.
Yes! Socks can be fun! I’m glad there’s other mamas that think like me 😉
Your budgeting is amazing and seeing what you get blows my mind! I hope to one day be as thrifty as you.
Awww thank you! 🥰
Bravo! So refreshing to have purchased practical gifts, thoughtful gifts on a budget! Amen sister !!
Thank you! 🥰
You did amazing and motivated me to shop at thrift stores more!!! I donate often and I only donate nice things so I should shop there too. I love your attitude and will continue to pray for your husband and family! Thankful our support can help you as you help us! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! ❤️ yes! You absolutely should go inside and shop! There are plenty of people who donate nice new things like you do! 😁
Thank you for the prayers and encouragement! 🥰
Practical gifts were my favourite as a child, and they are still my favourite now 🙂. I think your kids will be thrilled with their gifts this Christmas.
Thank you! I think they are the kind of gifts that really last too! ❤️
Just found your channel and I love your videos! I'm a mom of 8 and love thrifting! It's so fun because you never really know what you're gonna find and save so much money! You got your kids great gifts!
Thanks for sharing your secrets about thrift store shopping our kids are grown now wish I had had your encouragement back when they were younger hang in there God's got you and your family on the palm of his mighty hand!
Thank you for those words of encouragement! It really means a lot! ❤️
I’d save all year If I have to but i wanna make sure my daughter remembers Christmas like I do it was always magical they are only little and believe in Santa for a short time so i make it count
That’s great! If you’re able to set money aside during the year, that is a great way to save. But if you can’t, you can always make Christmas magical, even with very little! I think my sweet kids had a magical Christmas this year!
Way to go! I know that feels good! And blessings to your family as your husband is going through those health issues. God is good ALL THE TIME, regardless our circumstances, and you just rocked it!
Thank you! 🥰 God is so good! I have nothing to complaint about! ❤️
A year later 2023…… love this so much!!! You did amazing!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😃
Awe the fact that you had to make a disclaimer makes me sad! You are very inspiring to this mama who just recently had our Christmas budget drop dramatically.
I’m so glad this inspired and encouraged you! Thank you for the sweet words! ❤️ we’re in this together!
Those pots and pans are a steal ! The hard anodized is up there on being healthy and not leaking chemicals into your food. Fabulous finds. I also love how you're not afraid to give credit to God. Merry Christmas and God Bless !
Absolutely! Without God, I wouldn’t have anything!
Thank you! 🥰 Merry Christmas!
I’ll never understand why people try to make other parents feel bad for how they do things. Families are all different. Let’s lift each other up instead of put each other down. We’re all just parents trying to raise we’ll-rounded beautiful children in this messed up world.
Absolutely! I wish more people felt this way! ❤️
Awww I’m so happy for you that you found your pots and pans set! And I also enjoyed how excited you are mama!! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you! 🥰 Merry Christmas!
You are an incredible momma. I feel like your kids got more gifts, quantity wise, and most importantly more meaningful gifts than the fanciest most spoiled kids would get. Like your excitedness for them to see the gifts is so cute and I'm inspired to shop more like you when I have kids of my own :) Thrifting is the best, I don't see any problem with teaching kids from an early age that thrifted gifts are just as cool and meaningful if not more
Thank you for the encouragement! 🥰
Great gifts and great deals!!!! Just found your channel and what a score on the cookware!! Thrifting is awesome!!!!!😊 That hammock may have been the deal of the century!!! Yay!!
Thank you! ❤️
You did an awesome job with staying in budget. And got really nice gifts for your kids. I think books are a really good gifts for readers. And omg that hammock is really nice and looks brand new. So glad you got your pot set. 💕
Thank you! 🥰 Merry Christmas!
Great video. Love how intentional you were, with the gifts and the budget.
Thank you! ❤️
Wow the cookware was a steal !!! So happy for you and I do the same shopping and I am proud of it my kids love the deals 😊
That’s awesome! It’s so much fun when the kids get just as excited about the deals as we do! ❤️
Love those Santa Movies! We watched them this year snd all my kids loved them even my 3 year old. Great memories That cookware deal was so awesome !!
Thank you! ❤️
My favorite present was the Gerber Tool. Before becoming a mom I was a volunteer firefighter and EMT for ten years. Gerber tools cost anywhere from $30-$100 dollars. We all carried them on our belts because they are so multi functional. That’s an amazing gift.
Toni for the WIN….Rachel Ray pots and pans with the lids. So happy for you. Merry Christmas and God Bless! ❤
That’s awesome! Fun fact about me what that I almost became a firefighter! That was a dream of mine! I decided not to, but I admire women who are firefighters/EMTs!!! Love it!
Thank you for the encouragement! 🥰
Merry Christmas!
I could never get away with this for my kids but you rock it with your attitude and enthusiasm
Thank you 😁
Me either, I should have cut back when they were little and ill definitely do that when I have grandkids... but my kids are so used to expensive and lots if gifts (I have 4 kids and just one gift for 1 kid was $399, ... so yeah im definitely doing something wrong especially when I see videos like this... this lady got alot of gifts for 4 kids for half of what I spent on 1 gift for 1 kid.... absolutely amazing 👏
Our salvation army and goodwill stores are ridiculous in my area though bc they are so expensive 😤 I can literally buy it brand new for cheaper than our local salvation army...
You have a new subscriber! This is by far my favorite What I got my kids for christmas video! Thank you for being my kind of people! Merry Christmas !
Toni, have you considered getting a P.O. Box? Im sure I'm not the only viewer that would enjoy sending you/your family treats & treasures once in a while. I have some baking items (I own a cupcakery🧁) that the girls would enjoy.
That’s exactly why I came in here. Glad I’m not the only one. 😊
@codyaustin8836 You own a cupcakery?!?! How cool is that?
I actually do have a PO Box! You are so sweet! I can send it to you if you want to email me 🥰
Ourthriftyhomeschool@gmail.com
Thank you for thinking of us ❤️
@RayDayami you are so sweet! 🥰 I can send it to you if you want to email me 🥰

Thank you for thinking of us ❤️
Merry Christmas! 🎄💝🎉
You got some good deals!
Praying for your family!
Thank you! ❤️ Merry Christmas!
You are sooooo funny. I crack up with every video it seems. Your disclaimers are hilarious!!
Awww this was my favorite comment! 🥳 🥰 thank you!
Love thrift stores! My favorite gift for my 18 yr old daughter is a tie die pig stuff animal that is a piggy bank!! 3$ and it’s too cute ☺️
Awww that’s so cute! Love fun thrift store finds! ❤️
This is fabulous. It takes so much work to find so many things your kids will love on a tight budget. Excellent job.
Thank you! I really have fun finding stuff that they will love! ❤️
🤣🤣I thought I was the only one who wrapped stuff to give to myself. 🤣😍😍
Lol 😂 I guess there’s at least two of us! 🤣
Lots of love in this video! ❤
Thank you! 🥰
One of the reasons I really wished I lived in the US is the thrifting that's possible! I would definitely do thrift gifts too!
We really are blessed to have such amazing thrift stores! Maybe you’ll get a good one in your area! ❤️
So inspiring! Growing up our mom always did layaway at Kmart for our Christmas! They were great and very similar to yours. Plus shew was crafty and could sew. Thank you for sharing😊
Thank you for the encouragement! I agree…being creative and making things are such a sweet gift too!
I love particle gifts even gifts that are very useful
Yes! Same here!
I'm very impressed! I didn't think there would be much to get with a $50 per kid budget, but you did fantastic!
Thank you! 🥰
YOU are absolutely GORGEOUS! I just found your channel.I love your energy.Such enthusiasm and joy.I think you did SO amazingly well! You really know how to choose beautiful, creative, fun and useful things for your kids. Well done! I really loved watching this. Just a great video. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! 🥰 this comment made my day! ❤️ Merry Christmas!
@@ourthriftyhomeschool Ooooooh I'm so glad! Yay xxx
Amen to the Lord’s provision!!! Love love loved this video - you’re absolutely killing it!!!!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
You can pick up some amazing things from the thrift store. When you have lots of kids or on a tight budget I don’t see the problem. Kids don’t need hundreds and hundreds of pounds spent on them, mine would be happy with stocking, games and their Xmas dinner.
I watched your last two of these , and have been waitttttinggg for this one !! Lol love it
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
I watched till the end. Sounds like you know how to save and think ahead. I wanted to share a tip with you and your viewers - look for deals during Christmas clearance - toys for birthdays, Easter basket gadgets, body wash gift sets, and even solid color wrapping paper you can use all year long. There are so many Christmas items that are not Christmas specific that can be purchased for other events. Also you mentioned you like giving each child an ornament you can easily find ornaments at 80-90% off and save them for next year. Like you I also shop thrift stores for gifts. Marshalls & TJ Maxx is a great place to hunt for deals on toys after Christmas because hardly anyone thinks to buy toys there so there's always lots leftover in January and February.
Yes!!!! After Christmas would be such a smart time to stock up on those little gift sets for bdays! A couple years ago, I got bunch of those nail polish gift sets from Target for like 50 cents each and my girls had presents for their friends for every bday party! 🥳 such a good tip to do this (if you have any money left lol 😂)
Thank you! 🥰
And I LOVE TJ Maxx and Marshall’s!
I do this all year long at Walmart and Target. My grand daughter scored big this year. $15 and 20$ gifts, I paid 2-5$ for. Even a LOL 75$ set for 10$.
Amazing!
I really hope your hubby improves quickly! I will 🙏 for your 👪.
Thank you! I appreciate it! ❤️
I'm impressed you were able to find some great deals, especially during the ongoing inflation climb we're currently going through right now.
I loved getting pens, markers, notebooks, and a book for Xmas as a kid 😊
Thank you! Yes, I was the same way as a kid ❤️
This was the Best, most interesting "What I got my kids for Christmas 2022" video that I watched. BTW, you really scored big with that cookware set.
Awww thank you! That means a lot! 🥰
We always (and still) got new socks for Christmas. 🤷🏼♀️ And I always check Facebook Marketplace for toys on my wishlist for my kids. If we had a better thrift store in my area I would absolutely check there too. Most things are very gently used and you would never know it's not brand me. We love hand me downs!! Merry Christmas!
Yes! Facebook marketplace has been an awesome place to buy cheap stuff! And it’s local, which is even better!
❤️thank you!
I did it! Started my booktube channel with a bookshelf tour! Thank you for inspiring me!
That’s amazing! Can you link the video here so I can watch? Congratulations!!! I’m so excited for you! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️
You’re so creative 👏🏻 love that hammock!! Amazing deals!!!!

Congratulations on finding Rachel Ray i have had the large oval for at least15 years. Paid 40.00 for1 pot back then. AWESOME DEAL 👌!!
Wow! That’s awesome! I love it! 🥳
Love this video thanks for all the ideas prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! 🥰
Wow! You did a fantastic job! I wish we had thrift stores around here that had as nice of things as you were able to score! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! ❤️
I was waiting for this video ! you are Amazing!! You found so many great finds !! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you so much! 🥰 Merry Christmas!
Such cool stuff with your small budget! Your kids will be thrilled! We budgeted about $100 for each kid and I think they're getting about as much as your kids because I wasn't quite as thrifty 😆
Thank you! And that’s ok! The cool part is that we all have different kids and different needs….I’m sure you did amazing! ❤️
Oh I love a good budget and bargain shopping ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
My new favorite channel!
Favorite comment of the day!!! 🥰 thank you!
Ohmygoodness I'm so excited for you to have found the Rachel Ray set! My mother in law got me the same set 13 years ago and I use it every day! You'll be so happy when you cook🥰 As always, just love your content ❤️
Ahh! How cool is that?!? I really love it!
Thank you 🥰
Love practical gifts! You got some great deals!
Thank you!
I use almond bark (white/dark) for my pop out candies. Grocery store by chocolate chips. Can add extracts and flavorings to white bark. Not very much. I also make cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, pure mint extract and sugar to coats to make mints so sparkly. They are called Wedding Mints. She can sell them it 20. Per 100. They are beautiful and loved.
Oh man! That sounds amazing!!!
I just came across this video and we are kindred spirits. I have homeschooled 5 kids. My youngest is a senior next year 😢. I LOVE thrift shopping! You can get the best stuff so why pay the huge prices when you don’t have too! Have a very Merry Christmas!!!
I love that!!! ❤️ another thrifty homeschool mom! 🙋🏼♀️ I’ve always said that…let someone else pay full price and we’ll buy it for cheap when they’re done! Merry Christmas 🎄
You did amazing for your budget. I loved the musical instruments block set. I just ordered for my niece and nephew who are both musicians and like legos. They can share the blocks. Even new, it was cheap like $21
Thank you! Those really do look so cool! I hope yours like it too! ❤️
You did an amazing job!! ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Incredible video! Prayers to your husband❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family❤ Definitely a new subscriber here😊 xo Love from Canada 🇨🇦

I’m so glad this inspired you! And I love meeting people that I’d click with in person! So awesome! ❤️Merry Christmas!
Love how you describe your gift ideas. You are awesome and teaching your kids to be appreciative for practical things. We thrift too and find new stuff all the time. Great job and Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 ❤✝️
Thank you! Thrifting really can so fun! ❤️ Merry Christmas!
This was a great video! So much more creative than some.
Thank you! 🥰
Be sure to watch Dollar tree for cake decorating stuff they have a lot of stuff that's just as good as the other stores. You can also use a lazy Susan for the turn table for the cakes if she needs another one. I also try to get cheap stuff good will and dollar tree for my kiddo as well
Yes! I will be watching! I’m always amazing at what they have at dollar Tree!
In Australia, we don’t have thrift stores. We have op shop’s same kind of thing there’s nothing wrong with buying good secondhand presents to gift to someone.
That’s awesome! I love the name op shops! ❤️ Merry Christmas!
Well done. You have selected amazing gifts for your children. There is nothing wrong with Thriftshop finds if you select carefully. So many brand new items!
Thank you! And yes! So many of the things I find are either new or like new! You just have to know where to look and be patient. ❤️
I watched every minute. You did AMAZING!!!!

You can get a hammock stand for it instead of hanging from the ceiling!
Yes! That is a really good idea!
You did amazing. Do Christmas anyway that is good for you. 🎉
Thank you! 🥰
Im in MO and are goodwills are just awful in my area. 😭😭😭 i would love to visit an Ollie's i don't think we have them anywhere around here. Lol these are pretty awesome finds! Prayers for your family! :)
Thank you so much! Keep searching….maybe you’ll find that diamond in the rough thrift store! ❤️
Thank you for the prayers 🥰
My kiddo asked for socks last Christmas LOL this year he asked for flossers 🤣
lol 😂 see ya never know what they’ll ask for or get excited about!
@@ourthriftyhomeschool I very specifically wanted wool socks like my parents had when I was four so I get it😂
Omg! I was telling my husband and kids how I wanted a laminator and they thought it was crazy.. but I really could use one and you know what is up haha. Wonderful haul and deals🎄🎅❤
Yes! I’m kinda excited to be in the cool club now! Lol 😂 my family won’t get it either!
Thank you 🥰
My boys nan and grandad always went to charity shops to get presents and my boys loved them and always always played with them they always got pj's clothes coats trainers colouring books pencils and they were as happy as pig in s...
Rather then spend hundreds of pounds on things I think they r gonna like x
Exactly right! The kids really don’t care. Thrifting and charity shops really are such a blessing! ❤️
I really love your Christmas videos very inspiring! I wanted to say every black friday Walmart normally has their large box of 700-1000 piece for about $20-25 thats the best price on lego or FB marketplace. To me lego are worth it because you can use them in so many ways. Brick link you can buy individual mini figures for $1-3
Thank you! ❤️
You know what’s crazy?! I have seen that Lego deal at Walmart every year and always passed it up for one reason or another….this year I decided I was going to get those. And this is the year that the shipment didn’t come in! 🤦♀️ I searched and searched the store and finally asked and was told the shipment of those Lego’s never made it 😭 I guess I’ll try next year.
You find the best deals!!
Thank you! ❤️ I love a good deal!
Squirrel girl is an awesome Marvel character, who is in some teen cartoon series on Disney+. I hope your daughter likes the book
Oh yay! That’s so good to hear! ❤️ thank you 😁
Great finds! I’m curious how early you needed to start shopping doing it this way?
I started a week or so before Black Friday. 😁
YOU ROCKED THIS👊👊👊
Thank you!
Thanks for the inspiration
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
I love this 🥰
Thank you! ❤️
