One of my most favorite presents I;v ever received was actually intended as a joke gift... those mermaid blanket tail things? Yeah, super easy to use with my wheelchair and I practically live in it when it's cold!
Emma Fay I love the mermaid tail blankets. They are the best!
I have one too! I never thought of how it works in a wheelchair! What a great idea. Then kids would think you are in the chair because you are secretly a mermaid ;)
Emma Fay I have one that looks like a piece of watermelon and because I am small, I almost fit in it completely :D
I bought when and my cat quickly claimed it as her own 😂😂
@@eileenmarie1652 My cat does the same thing but I always steal it back 😂
My favorite gift was a half-face theater mask and a fake rose. My mom didn't like the idea of wrapping tickets. So that's how I found out I was going to see The Phantom of the Opera!
My Great Aunt Elspeth, used to get us the most fantastically weird gifts. Some of which are:
A book about mice
A rain gauge
A used book about an old snooker player
Navy tights with a 42 inch waist
Binoculars
Random jazz cds
Jesus plates
You get the idea! She passed away but we keep the tradition going by buying, or repurposing, something weird every year.
Last year my fiance wrote me an advent calendar of little notes about why he loves me or special things about our relationship. No one had ever done something like that for me. It was wonderful.
That is beautiful
My husband, back when he was my boyfriend, bought me the most beautiful little mint colored book of Robert Frost poems. He's bought me so many gifts over the years and that's still the one that stands out the most. It's on display in the middle of my bookshelf and there it will stay
The best slightly odd Christmas present I have ever received was a glitter library. I really really like glitter and sparkly things, so one year my friend went and bought all these tiny little vials and filled them with different kinds of glitter, made a custom box to protect them, and gave it to me! People think it's a bit odd but I absolutely love it!
In my family you cant take the design of what's on the outside of a box to know what is on the inside. For instance my mother wrapped up a pair of fuzzy socks in a box for 50 bulb Christmas lights. I was about 17 and unwrapped a gift signed from my Dad. The box was for 100 security envelopes. Opening the box up, it was in fact just envelopes. My actual present, a necklace, was in a similar box in his study.
Ha ha, that's amazing! I love it! 😆
My family does the same thing... I have a hoard of boxes specifically so I have the correct size box for any present.
your family sounds like a lot of fun
my mothers side loves to do this, we always make sure to tell them "thats actually what it is" if we didnt put it in a random box
most of them are cereal boxes or amazon packages
last year my great aunt bought joke gift boxes for all of the men in the family
I have a pile of cardboard recycle for mom when I get home, a lot of people are going to be unwrapping microwavable chicken alfredo
Haha my Mom does that. She will raid the pantry for boxes and then tells us to give the box back so she can put the pancake mix or whatever back in it. My Husband does 3d printing so we have lots of filament boxes so we've started wrapping them so they can be reused.
My brother (whose also my beloved live in caregiver), has recently defined as gender fluid this year. We're both vintage lovers, though from different areas. My heart is late 60's- the 70's, whereas they're very much into all things 40's. A small Besamé collection might just be the perfect stocking stuffer for one of my favorite humans. ✊🏼❤🤘🏼
Wonderful recommendations, Jessica! Big hugs to you, Claudia, and da fur babies.🐶😘
My grandad got me Bagatelle (it's a massive marble game) when I was about 6, and I was very bemused. But even now, I'm 22 and he's passed away, we still get it out every Christmas to play
(food)
When I was a child, I didn't like sugary things, and my mom made me a Santa Claus out of sausage instead of a chocolate one.
😂
I got the majority of a Newt Sscamander cosplay as a gift two years ago, everything was wrapped in brown paper and string inside his suitcase which was wrapped similarly. It’s probably my most use present as well ❤️
Wow! That's an amazingly thoughtful gift! 😍
@@jessicaoutofthecloset It was such surprise and I almost cried 💖
I envy you for that present 😅
Maybe not really that off the wall, but I got a sled growing up an a place that is very flat and doesn't get that much snow (Eastern shore of Maryland) so I tried to hook it up to my dog's harness. Turns out that standard poodles do not make very good sled dogs. It was super fun using it on the one good hill in town on the few occasions where we got
The best unconventional presents I got always came from my best friend in secondary school. For Christmas I normally got a personalized day planer for the upcoming year. With a photo collage on the outside and important dates, birthdays of our friends but also celebrities and all the things we liked inside. 😍 I still got them somewhere because they are just too precious to throw away
This is such a great idea! For a second I planned to gift that to my best friend but sadly she already has a planner. Still, I might do a variation of it for my dad or someone else, because this is so lovely!!
Thank you so much for writing this comment, you made not just me but probably someone else really happy.
Lol I just went on British retro to buy that green tartan pencil dress and the website’s down.
I think you broke them, Jessica!
I just tried too :) will need to keep checking Haha
xMandie7x I love warm greens but they’re so hard to find! As soon as I see anything I have to buy it!
Whoops! 🙈😂
Oh im so excited! A vintage idea I've been playing around with is, is buying a photo book of sorts, and then buying old used postcards and photos. It makes for a good collection, and is relatively cheap depending on where you get everything
And i actually havent got any 'off the wall' present. I really think my gifts have always been very safe as people just gift me books (i absolutely love books) or money.
I love this idea! 😍
I got these little hands that go on your fingertips, it was weird but so funny
My most off the wall actual gift would probably be a pair of binoculars and a bird-spotting guide, which isn't that zany but we're not a remarkably interesting family. We do have a family in-joke however in which my Gran places at least one of everyone else's gifts in a cereal box before wrapping it, so in a way, the most off the wall gift I've ever received was a box of ready brek.
I do that, now, too! But, my grandkids thought they were getting cereal and PopTarts! This year I am going to give them each a box of PopTarts! :)
My weirdest gift was probably when my aunt sent me a bright blue curly wig with pretty much no explanation. It caused great hilarity and the only photos I have of that day are of different people wearing it!
I was once gifted , not really for christmas but still the most off the wall gift, a sword. It was foam and made for LARPing but still! A sword! How romantic!
"Which came with stickers!" I adore your excitement, I'd be the same. :)
I was thinking the same thing!
I'm a grown person who loves stickers ❤️
I always get excited when my stuff comes with stickers! I wish more companies would do it, cause I will totally give them free advertising by putting them on my water bottle, laptop, etc
My brother found you to help me go vintage, and some rockabilly. He showed me this, and said you literally finished his shopping for me, since I am celebrating Christmas for the first time, because family issues, and just a lot of other things. Anyway, ramble, but he wants it special because I had a rough year, learning I have a connective tissue disorder and went deaf and a bunch of other health issues, and because of that I am going vintage because i absolutely love it.
My best slightly odd gift has to be a candle snuffer, which I don't think came with a candle. I do love to burn a candle though so it's been super useful. I didn't even know that aunt knew that about me!
Bob Ross bobble head that also says phrases when you push the button. I love it and never in a million years would have suspected it as a gift.
My girlfriend who by the way is in love with you anyway she would really love that,, Besame I apologise I can't figure out how to spell that correctly, Snow White gift set I'm definitely going to buy it for her for Christmas and some eyeshadow stuff. She used to be very much a goth but now that's changed amazingly right about the time she started watching your videos I wonder if they are connected somehow
Yay! I hope she loves the set! 🤗💖
Thanks for a great video you really helped me finish up my Christmas shopping i just bought her two lipsticks sets and the pie balms,
Merry Christmas
Jessica you are such a wonderful person! You're truly my dream vintage goals 😍 thank you for this video, my wishlist just grew exponentially lol
Not for Christmas, but this year for my birthday my friends and siblings banded together to get me a typewriter! A typewriter! It is the most beautiful, amazing gift I have ever gotten.
I think my best present was a dance rug, you would plug it in the video game and choose the music to dance
My grandparents always give us practical Hanukkah gifts. Last year I got a mini sewing kit and a letter opener
I love getting (and often ask for) experiences or events, like tickets to a show or a dinner at a fancy and interesting restaurant. Those are the gifts that I remember the best even many years later.
My friend gave me one of her Russian nesting doll sets. Not because I'm a big fan or collector myself but because they mean a lot to her and she knew I would appreciate being entrusted with something she cares so much about. Every time I look at them I think of her and the trust she has in me to look after her and the things she cares about and it means alot.
not a christmas present, but someone once bought a mini notice board type thing and stuck memos with lyrics all over them from songs that we both liked. it was actually so cute and i was really happy
My Oldest Brother was always best at unconventional gifts. He once bought "air" time for everyone So they could have 60 seconds to say what ever they wanted on a TV commercial. All your make up and dress is just stunning. Truly makes me appreciate women who take the time and have the inclination to be so beautiful both on the inside as well as the outside. Thank you for sharing, my best to Claudia, pats to Walter and Tilly.
My dad and I every year go charity shopping and buy random CDs based purely on covers and names for each other. It’s always so fun to listen to them all and I’ve found some of my favourite music that way!
I’m not vintage and I don’t wear makeup but that Snow White set is so beautiful I’m tempted to buy it all 😭
(don't tell anyone but sometimes I get Besame things just because they're beautiful and look pretty on my dressing table 😉)
It’s a shame there is no longer a uk stockist for Besamé. With the customs fees it gets really expensive buying things from America. I would love some of the Snow White and mermaid lagoon things.
I can't think of any off the wall gifts I've received, but the oddest gift I've ever given was to my best friend at sixth form who had two small snakes as pets. I was in the pet shop before Christmas and found a brilliant reptile-friendly wood log which was the right size for her tank. She and the snakes absolutely loved it and we still talk about the time I gave her a bit of wood for Christmas!
Best and weirdest gift I've ever received was a book on ice hockey shaped like a hockey puck. It lives on my shelf, and it always gets me to smile !
But my best gift ever I'll get this Christmas: a beautiful rose gold automatic skeleton watch ♥ Can't wait till I finally have it, it was love at first sight !
I was on a research trip across the country by myself during winter break from university. Part of my research involved looking at how archived 19th century clothing was sewn. This was in the days before smartphones with cameras. My then boyfriend, now husband, sent me a surprise Chanukah gift of a digital camera so I could photograph the textiles. The camera case arrived first without the camera, but when I unwrapped it I burst into tears (I knew a camera must be following separately). It was by far the biggest gift someone had ever given me, and costing hundreds of dollars, was a true statement of love... It is a very fond memory for us. I suspect Claudia would approve.
I have a hard time remembering what people have given me for christmas, but I remember a lot of cool stuff I've given my dad (partly because I never have any idea what to get for him so it always takes me a million years to find something). I find a lot of neat stuff on etsy-- one year I got him bookends made from old records.
Tip, buy several of those Kellgren Fozard wreaths. They are special, don't make your kids fight over family mementos. Also works on kids stuffed animals. If they have a favorite teddy, buy three. One to replace the one they love to death and the last on for when they have their first child. Save a special outfit from each of you to take pics with your kids in. Then give that outfit to your daughters and in laws to recreate that pic with their newborn kid.
One of my favorite presents was a cocktail recipe book inspired by classic novels! It was perfect because I love cooking/making drinks and reading!
when i was younger, i absolutely loved american girl dolls (kit and ruthie were my favorites). my grandpa's best friend richard built a bunkbed for my dolls and his wife made blankets and pillows for it.
a few years later his wife gave me a handmade stuffed rabbit for my birthday that was a patchwork of white and lilac fabric. his name is ruben and hes a firm cuddle buddy
I found your channel when I was looking for a vintage up do, and I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the disabled community and honestly making me a better person ❤️❤️❤️
These are such good ideas! The strangest/coolest gift I have ever received has to be a Viking brooch from the 9th Century. Our local garden center sells all the archaeological stuff people find in the area for quite cheap considering the things. Very neat
my friends from college gave me 36 cans of pineapple Fanta (my guilty pleasure) for Christmas THIS YEAR. I've never received a more fun and heavier present in my life
Hi Jessica ! I know you said you love all things Tudor historical fiction. You should go give Six the musical a listen ! It's a spice girls-esque musical that Chronicles the stories of all of Henry the eighth's wives.
Such great ideas! The dress with “fur” trim in grey is HEAVENLY!! My favorite gift I’ve ever received is a Sterling Silver Peacock Broach from 1950. We used the colors of 🦚 feathers as our wedding colors, in our flower arrangements & at the base of our cake. One of our 1st dates was to a zoo, & we were sitting on a bench in the shade when a 🦚 came walking up nearby (they roam the grounds). There was a woman decked out in designer clothes & at least 4” heels w/two small children...(equally as dressed up even though it was close to 100°F outside). The little boy started toddling towards the 🦚, & his mother yelled, “NO NO JOHN, DON’T TOUCH THE DIRTY OSTRICH”!! 👀 WHAT?? 🤦🏼♀️ OSTRICH??!! 🤣😄😭🙉 OMG....that became an inside joke that we still laugh about after 15 years (10 of those married 😊)! Bésame is one of the most wonderful companies! Their compacts are SO luxurious, & I love that they are a family business. I would buy it all if I could, lol! Much Love to everyone! 🤗💜😘
A complete, gold leaf leather bound Jane Austen. A gift from my dad over 20 years ago.
Excellent gift guide tips Jessica. I love you so much.
All the dresses landing on you reminds me of The Great Gatsby. "I've never seen such beautiful shirts!"
Great video!
When I was a kid my aunt gave me a 24k gold-plated manicure set that came in a bright red reptile-skin case. Still upset that it was real skin, but also floored that she'd give such a high-end gift to a child as destructive as I was. That's why my mom lied and said it was hers. XD No ill will towards my mom, of course. I'd want to protect it from me too.
i just LOVE that they send you a vintage newspaper along with your collection! That is a very nice touch! :)
My favorite present will always be the zombie garden gnome I got for Christmas a few years ago.
A kubatan from my best friend. Also works as a pen! Sadly, they're illegal to walk around with where I live, but the thought warmed my heart.
Treat yourself presents are the best , the best gift i got for christmas are just experience my sister gave us tickets for the London eye when we where celebrating new years eve in London. Best christmas ever and nothing can beat that was going to Disneyland Paris with christmas .
My best odd present was probably when my parents got me a blender. I loved making Frappuccino-esque iced coffees at the time and using the blender we had (which was probably from the 80s?) made the process take about fifteen minutes, while the new blender took about two minutes. I was sooo happy with it!
I'm not good at picking bests but an unexpected present that I remember was a sewing machine!! My parents got me one last year because they knew I wanted to learn :) I haven't achieved it yet, but we've been renovating our house so I have an adequate excuse! And we're almost done with the room where it will live so I can get stuck in then!
This Christmas I am getting a restored vintage trendle sewing machine. Family friends had people over for a garage take to clear out stuff. One of the things was this machine and my parents got it fixed up.
My sister and I give eachother gag gifts at Christmas. She gets angry because I always find a use for them so she is determined to get one that truly stumps me. One year she got me Yule log for a fireplace and I don't have a fireplace. So I said I would burn it in a pit in our backyard. Then she got me an action figure of an old crazy cat lady, complete with a little plastic reclining chair and a bunch of kitties. I put it on my desk at work. Well last year she got me a bag of cat litter that just happened to have my nickname on it. It was called Mimi cat litter! She knew that I wouldn't use it because it has my name on it. She finally got me! lol. I've already been warned about this year's gag so we'll see! lol
I received a record player and my mum’s old records from the 80s last Christmas
Your dress is so cute!
Best Christmas present I have ever gotten was when my now husband proposed on Christmas Eve in front of my whole family. I cried so much my face got puffy 😅
My dad gave me coal one year.
Hmmmm. I only already have several copies of those Austen novels... Those covers are quite pretty...
My godfather made me a wooden sledge. It's quite heavy and the runners are really thick, so you can use it on the streets of the mountain village we go to during winter, even if they're not overflowing with snow. Have I mentioned everything about it is hand-made? It's amazing.
What a creative video idea!❤️ love it!
actually, my fave off the wall gift I have received has been a very lovely deer headpiece.
I lost count how many times I watched this video! I want all of it!!!
So pretty!! I was really excited for the mermaid collection!
Gift question: My friend bought me a book of witch craft spells. She bought it mostly as a joke because I'm super into Harry Potter, the occult, and true crime. Not to mention I dress like a modern day Morticia Addams. I don't believe any of that witch stuff but the book was still fascinating. I still wish I went to Hogwarts though.
THE BOOKS! 😍😍😍
I have the Snow White Red lipstick from Bésame Cosmetics. I feel really feminine when I wear it. It's a lovely colour. :)
Great vintage looking Christmas card at the end.
Such good ideas! Love the Mermaid Lagoon collection from Bésame, it looks gorgeous! 🧜🏻♀️💕
A set of all kinds and colors of glitter to use in my creations. 😍
Yay!
oh Jessica! I just loved this video! I am going to Besame's site tonight to look at the make up pallettes! Disney themed adult retro makeup! YAASSSSS!
Oh also, Clara should give some rockabillyish stuff a try! I still dress like a 13 year old sort of emo a lot of the time but I got a rockabilly style dress to wear to an Alice in Wonderland event and it was SO fun to wear!!
My friend made me this lovely felt magnet with a self drawn cat on it, it's so pretty and unique
Best present I've ever gotten was 2 hours in a recording studio off my parents, I bawled on Christmas day it just meant so much to me that they believed in me that much to spend money on me like that, personal gifts like that mean so much more to me than any designer clothes or anything like that
You are one of my absolute favourite TH-camrs! Thanks for always being so inspiring and positive, your videos really helped me come to terms with my sexuality and accept that I can be super gay AND super femme at the same time. Lots of love to you, Claud and the dogs. Enjoy the holiday season!!
She said one bite. I thought she said "wombat".
😂
@@jessicaoutofthecloset I wonder what colour wombat lipstick would be. I mean would it be the colour of a wombat or the colour lipstick a wombat would where if he/she could wear lipstick
i'm not really what i got for Christmas last year Jessica but this i am going to get some really awesome stuff and i can't wait also i really love u and ur videos can't wait for the next one
This is so wonderful! I love your videos and this has given me great gift ideas! Thank you so much!! 💜
I adore British Retro! I find their dresses do shrink quite a bit in the wash though.
"If you wanna hide anything underneath there"
My first thought was about Aly (Alianne Cooper/Alianne of Pirate's swoop. She's from one of my favourite universes, also one of my recommendations for everyone who loves to read, especially medieval fantasy fans. So... Search for Tamora Pierce (the author) and her book series like Alanna and the song of the lioness which is what I started with but yeah. I love them. And yeah. Aly is the namegiver for this account and my name on the internet so... Yeah.) and her tons of blades and weapons underneath her clothes. (tbh I have to read it again...)
OMG the "obviously, you shoould" at 0:40 reminded me of my aunt 😅
Don't worry, Jessica, it's just the intonation 😅
Cute Christmas top 🎄😊🎄
My husband got me a vintage looking toaster but rather than toasting bread it warms two hot dogs and buns!
Whiskey is always a good gift
love the books
I once got a cat tree. ya know those things cats climb on? one of those. I love it!
If you're in Australia (though I think they do international shipping), check out Laurina Jean Retro - I've bought a number of their dresses and skirts (most have pockets!), and the owner travels around the country every year doing pop-up shops so you can try on your wishlist items and see how they look!
As for best off-the-wall gifts, I gave my husband a Murloc mug (WoW fans unite!) and its his favourite item ever! He gets rather upset when he can't use it for his morning coffee...
Wow Jessica you nailed the Christmas look in that vid. Absolutely love the collar on your dress (I assume it's a dress)
Im in love with shop pretty kitty fashion
Merry Christmas eveyone 🎄☃🎁
I just adore videos like this and I adore you too! You're such a lovely and beautiful person :)
I just love listening to you! You sound so wonderful and elegant 💖
Hello Jessica!
ooooo, what a fun video! Makes me want all of those things. :)
Most off the wall? Well, for our first Christmas, my husband (then my boyfriend) gave me a toaster. It was a nice toaster and I needed a toaster; but not from him. My mother also gave me a toaster, which is appropriate. I kept hers and took his back! :)
I really love vintage things and styles and i would love to be able to pull it off. But i also love some modern styles. I don‘t know if i should get some vintage style clothes to try it out...
Love the faux fur lined dress! I went to the other room to show my fiance the red one you wore in the other video!
