Can we take a minute and appreciate all the hard work Kathryn puts into her videos?! She not only shares the best DIYs and hacks but also gives gift ideas for everyone.
I went to Kirklands and saw a beautiful Christmas artwork already framed for over 50 bucks. It was a picture of Santa on the train, the classic Christmas look. I had no idea Dollar Tree had that picture on a gift bag. I'm going to buy that bag and cut it, and use my own frame.
Love the idea of rolling socks and wrapping them in cellophane to create "candies!" I replicated this using colored loofahs to give with rose-scented bath salts. Looks almost as good as what you've done. ❤❤ Also, a PSA to anyone giving gift cards: if you can, please give them in person or use the emailed versions. I had a gift card ripped right out of the envelope that I sent via snail mail last year. I was so disappointed and frustrated! Save yourself the hassle!
I always remember helping my mom make the Christmas cornflake cookies. Every year until High School when she passed away from Cancer when I was 16. But when my kids were little they always helped me make them it will always be a special tradition for years to come.
I wish my Dollar Tree had even some of this stuff. They’re shelves are empty a lot and they don’t have enough people there to keep up with restocking. But I so appreciate your suggestions. They’re all cool. I’ve done a couple!
Thank you for the ideas. I have been dealing with a severe Crohn's flare this year along with preparing for a craniotomy that I finally had in September and now I am still in recovery mode for the craniotomy. I am so far behind in Christmas shopping and my budget is so tight because my portion of the surgery after talking to hospital billing office is $35,000 because of my insurance. So I really appreciate that you put this together. You and your husband (the cameraman) are appreciated more than you realize for going out and recording these videos. Thank you for helping people like me on a super tight income realize that we can have an affordable Christmas that looks good too.
I just got home from spending a week in hospital and I was so happy to have a DIOD video. They always make me happy. Take care of yourself and remember we are all enough.
Every time I watch your videos I want to run to Dollar Tree. Unfortunately, the ones near us are typically a huge mess. I guess if we want a good deal, we'll have to navigate the mess and find what we want.
I adore you and your peppiness! You are such a joy and inspiration, just your sharing happiness with us, that is a gift, a real treat to those who watch your videos. Keep them coming, I watch every single one and love them all!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wow Kathryn, so many Great ideas! I had to watch it twice so I could jot down some of the items/ideas. I don't know how you do it, but we all appreciate your hard work and your great ideas. Hope you know how grateful we are for you and your videos! My son wanted to know if you bought the chicken, lol
Enjoy your energy. My eyes tear up at the end of your videos when you say "you are enough" & give a hug. Thank you SO very much for that beautiful video ending.
That is crazy, those red cups that light up from the bottom. I got the same ones at Walmart last year paid 599 for my grandkids and this year. They’re at dollar tree! The boys love them.
Love watching your videos, so much creativity. My dollar store in Northern NJ does not have more the half of the great items you show in your video. So jealous
About those photo tumblers: you don't have to put a photo inside! You can take the paper label, turn it inside out, and decorate it with whatever type of stickers you want (cartoons for kids, band logos or pictures of celebrities for teens) or just let your kids draw all over it.
Oh heeey! I’m 66 and I made those wreaths in home ec in high school! What is home ec you ask? It’s a class that every high school girl took in the far far past (the 70’s 🤣🤣) to teach her to cook and sew! Love your video!
I took home economics in middle school in 1997, but I think I might have been one of the last groups of kids to do so. I graduated high school in 2002.
The marshmallow and cornflake cookies are the main cookie of my house at Christmas since before I was born. Add marshmallow fluff to it when it's cooking to make it even better
Oh my goodness this is awesome. I wish you could do a dollar tree gift basket for my 11-year-old grandson. I have no idea what to get him that doesn’t cost an arm leg.
from the mrs: very inspiring. Many ways to customize gift baskets for reasonable price! great video. Our DT has none of these things., the stores are inconsistently stocked.
Those socks in the cellophane look really cute. Gonna try that. Your dollar store seems to have a lot more good stuff than most do. Always love your videos. ❤
Dollar tree has had such cute name tags and gift boxes. I’m seeing like 20 to a pack for the name tags. I feel like it’s target quality. I can’t stop buying stuff.
Love, love ,love ,all your videos! Thank you Katherine for all your videos. You always make your videos so much fun and Thanks for all the Christmas ideas!😊
All the dollar stores in my area have been sadly disappointing this season. They haven't gotten any of the great products everyone has been showing. I check them all and zip, nada, nothing.😢
I put the uno go in my sons stocking last year, we keep it in the car so anytime we find ourselves waiting for long periods of time we play! Comes in handy during long sports events, car pick up lines, you name it!
Omg you were reading my mind... my mom needed a food tradition this past Sat for a Xmas party and I made her the rice Krispy wreaths that my nana used to make lol. I love them
For my holiday rice krispie treats, I use rice krispies, of course, but then i add a box of Cap'n Crunch "Ooops" cereal to make the ornaments, and I use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to shape them. Thanks for all your hard work.
@ericdorvan6899 not intruding at all. I know things will get better, they always do, but this was just a really rough holiday. I lost my best friend about 6 weeks ago, I thought I was going to be evicted for someone else's mistake (I'm not), and I'm in constant physical pain from a back injury I received more than 12 years ago. Sometimes I just get a little overwhelmed. I am doing a little better now, especially knowing that I won't have to move, and I appreciate you listening.
I LOVE your enthusiasm and you always motivate me to clean my apartment! 😊So thank your for that and your effort to make these beautiful videos! 💕 But what I find really sad that in almost all American videos of these kinds the huge amount of packaging you are recommending to use.. I've stopped buying those bags years ago because when I get them from others they just sit in the corner until next year when I can reuse them again. Now I'm using those brown bags you get from to go meals (I just put around a ribbon or some other decorations and they look decent enough - they don't need to look so fancy because they are just a way of transporting the gifts). I also don't buy those tins because I had SO many until I reused them all by gifting cookies etc. to others and they just sat in the corner for a whole year. I also don't buy those boxes because... well, because nobody needs them (except maybe the bigger ones for storing Christmas decorations etc.). I try to choose only things people can use up: For example face masks, cookies/sweets etc. in recyclable bags, candles without containers, soaps etc. But since I don't think that unless you don't know them well or know what they want nobody will actually be happy ABOUT the gifts. I think it's the thought that counts. So I want to bake a cake (or a mini cake - depends on whether it's a sinlge person or a family etc.) and/or some cookies with Christmas Decoration on top of it this year for the people I don't know so well. Maybe I will also buy some vouchers for those I don't know what kind of allergies they might have. But as I said: Thank you for all the hard work you put into these really beautiful videos!
Cathryn, you need to make a chicken shirt that we can buy!! run this video again in the fastest speed and listen to your chicken. It is absolutely hilarious.😂 thank you for the awesome ideas. I can use a lot of them. Merry Christmas.🎄🎄🎄
Another thing is the 4ft trees in the $5 section. They had ones in a red box and a green box. I wanted one for the downstairs, and I decided to get both to see the difference. The ones in the red box looked more full and slightly less cheap. I was thinking someone could probably use them as a porch decoration too

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank U SO VERY MUCH

The gingerbread jar was adorable 🥰
Wow! Where is this Dollar tree? I have never seen one like this before. Ours leaves something to be desired.

Nicole, I agree. I found that so clever! I grew up in the day when that kind of candy was very popular.
How did you personalize the caboodles?
@@amandalynnhesson2328 she used her Cricut machine. Cut out their names & applied them to the caboodle.
I always remember helping my mom make the Christmas cornflake cookies. Every year until High School when she passed away from Cancer when I was 16. But when my kids were little they always helped me make them it will always be a special tradition for years to come.
Kathryn is the cutest sweetest hardest worker on TH-cam in my opinion!
I've never seen a Dollar Tree this clean and stocked with no clutter in the isles 😳🧐
Tell them you’d like to do a video in their store for TH-cam… whether you do or not I bet you they clean it up!😂🤣😂
@@treejohn01
Uh...no, they won't...she's a really well known youtuber and even she has shown some not so organized clips before 😅
I wish my Dollar Tree had even some of this stuff. They’re shelves are empty a lot and they don’t have enough people there to keep up with restocking. But I so appreciate your suggestions. They’re all cool. I’ve done a couple!

I had head surgery not long ago, so I can sort of relate. Best wishes to you! You WILL recover ~ it just takes time.
Oh my goodness, that sounds like such a serious operation! I hope you recover fully and sooner than expected.
I just got home from spending a week in hospital and I was so happy to have a DIOD video. They always make me happy. Take care of yourself and remember we are all enough.
Everyone needs sparkles everyday!
☦️🙏🏻✝️
I wish my DT were as clean as you show
Just in time for teacher’s gifts! ❤
That chicken made me laugh out loud! How I wish my Dollar Tree had a plus section!!! These ideas are fabulous, Kathryn...THANK YOU!!!
Same here. I wish ours had items worth the $1.25 price. However, I haven’t had the chance to visit lately so maybe they’ve finally upgraded. 🤷🏻♀️
This woman is AMAZING! The tips, the tricks, the ideas . . . I can't get enough! 😊🎉❤
Lovin’ the sparkle shirt for the video!
Yes, we made the cereal wreaths when I was growing up! I am turning 67 this month. 🎄
Happy early birthday then! 🎂🎉🎈
Yes this is the best!!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤ May everyone have a very fun and blessed Christmas. 🤗 Also ❤️ your shirt. 😊
Thank you so much!! I hope you do as well! It was a random find from a Christmas market and I’m so glad I got it 🎁❤️
Every time I watch your videos I want to run to Dollar Tree. Unfortunately, the ones near us are typically a huge mess. I guess if we want a good deal, we'll have to navigate the mess and find what we want.

I love your great gift ideas and your special Chicken Assistant! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
That jar under #2 w the rose gold lid is my FAV jar! I have so many!
Omg Kathryn! I love those cornflake wreaths! I haven’t made them in years but this sure brought back sweet memories. 😊
Happy Holidays Kathryn from Chicago! ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊That BLINGY TOP IS MAGNIFICENT!❤❤❤❤
If only I had a dollar tree like this one…thanks for the tips and ideas❤❤❤

Thanks Kathryn, I now know what I'm getting for a retired ladies Christmas party.
Love your shirt
Such great finds and ideas!
Great ideas!! ❤️
I loved the beige slippers they were so cute

Yes I have my son decorate and give these as keepsakes to family, makes great gifts and memories of his art!
Yeah 🎉 for the chicken 🐔 😊

Thank you for some Great ideas Katherine!! Oh...I definitely think that Mr Chicken shoild be a regular "bargain hunter" in your videos. Love him!! 😅
The marshmallow and cornflake cookies are the main cookie of my house at Christmas since before I was born. Add marshmallow fluff to it when it's cooking to make it even better
Thank you, Kathryn for the best and easiest DIYs. You work so hard. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
Keep up the good work if there was an award I would certainly give you one . Thanks for sharing and making these videos .
I've been making the cornflakes candy for 40 years
Kathryn, I just had to stop and say you make THE best gift idea videos and you are a gem! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!
Loved all the creative, festive, and cute ideas!
In case nobody told you yet I want it to put it out there. You are incredible
I love your outfit 😍 My husband and I do stocking from the Dollar Tree. This year we said $10 budget and I think I'm getting tiny Uno in mine. 😊
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Those Christmas Wreath treats! I'm going to have to make some - STAT!!
Oh my goodness this is awesome. I wish you could do a dollar tree gift basket for my 11-year-old grandson. I have no idea what to get him that doesn’t cost an arm leg.

Love your shirt with the ribbon
Those socks in the cellophane look really cute. Gonna try that. Your dollar store seems to have a lot more good stuff than most do. Always love your videos. ❤

@ericdorvan6899 Back at you, Eric.🤓
@ericdorvan6899 better than I have lately. Nice to start feeling like myself.
@ericdorvan6899 thanks muchly

Oh my God I looooove your top!!!
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! KATHRYN IS AMAZING! I cannot wait to go to Dollar Tree! Ty for ALL the tips!😊

Love your energy! Sadly our Dollar Tree didn't have 1/4 of these great things!!! 😔
I Love your ideas for baskets. They are so nice!!
I live in Puerto Rico and we don’t have any Dollar Tree store here and Im still watch all your videos 😊
