And what gifts do you give for Christmas in your country?
Hats, mitts, chocolate, bath stuff and booze.
Socks, slippers, chocolates, lotions, perfumes, coffee shop gift cards, ornaments
Homemade Christmas Cookie trays. I make huge trays with all different kinds to give to each household in my family and friends. They look forward to it each year. I
Depends who you are shopping for but the usual go to are chocolates and wine!
I like to buy locally made art, goods, and other products.
Watching Ksenia is a GIFT on its own. I wish you the best holiday my friend.
Thank you!
As an American, you are so considerate, lovable, caring, much respect, Love and hope, fighting those that doesn't care,,,, Governments. People are always caring,,, BLESS YOU!!!
I love seeing Russian malls. thanks for showing them to us.
The city is so beautiful and festive.
Yes, New year decorations are so good!
Loved going shopping with you. We buy some body products chocolate or money and for children we give toys. 👍🎄☃️
Good evening from the Uk. In the Uk I do spend a little more on my dear Russian wife, but to be honest the cost is not really important it’s the way the gift is giving and the thought that goes with the present that is most important. A good smile and a hug is worth a great deal more.
Many Americans go crazy at Christmas time. Perfumes, gold jewelry, cameras, computers, TV's, you name it, and we buy it. Here in our country $97 dollars may cover the cost of just one gift. Love your videos and thanks for sharing.
Gift cards are popular in my family. Your city looks beautiful. And you, Ksenia, are also a gift to all of us. Thank you and Happy New Year.
Gift cards ROCK! 🤗 And I agree Arthur, Ksenia is such a gift to all of us! ~~ 💕
This was fascinating. As Americans we generally overbuy especially for kids. I think a more scaled down version of gifts would be better.
I'm in the USA. I love to sew so I mostly make gifts for my family instead of buying them.
So cool 😍
Счастливых праздников из США
Спасибо! И вас с наступающими праздниками!
Thank you for sharing another New Year's with us! Your gifts were so thoughtful. 🌹
Пусть новый год тебе большого счастья и благополучия принесет,
I usually give my two grown sons money or gift cards. Sometimes both. It’s hard to choose. I give them warm winter wear as well. My daughter I give money and cosmetics. My son Ryan is married and they have a daughter. I gave them this year a projector. You can show movies indoors or outdoors. We give Christmas presents. We don’t give New Year presents. I love your videos. I enjoy learning about Russia. Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope that 2022 will be a much better, kinder year for everyone.
I enjoyed going on the trip shopping with you. I also hope the rest of this year is wonderful for you.
I love watching your videos you are an honest down-to-earth person we like that we in America been way too much money at Christmas I would say we generally spend more money on small children than the adults but every year it's always a lot you have a good New Year thank you
Thank you Ksenia. Our family gives one gift for adults because my family believes that Christmas presents should only be for children, the magic of Christmas. Some years we draw names and put a limit on spending for exmple, we can't spend more than $250 for the name we drew (adult names only) we still buy many gifts for the children.
That's so cool - we have The Body Shop in the US as well.
I made things for my family this year, my grand son moved in with us he is in high school, so picked up some books he wanted a small gift card a shirt a stocking with candies, house shoes he needed, not much like to try and get what is needed, Xmas isnt just for gifts but a chance to get together with family when we go see family and friends we take things that I make rather it is homemade cookies, cakes, pies, candies depending on who it is we love going and seeing all the Xmas lights, we love Xmas
The only thing missing from watching you shop the malls is the smell of popcorn. Several malls in our area always give out bags of popcorn to munch on while shopping the holiday season
Your the best, have a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON
Loved going shopping with you. In the U.S. we give gifts to our family and friends on Christmas Day, or Christmas Eve, if it’s your family’s tradition. It looks just like New Years in Russia😁 But, we celebrate it in December. We give gifts of soaps, shampoos, creams, etc, but we call it “ stocking stuffers.” Everyone gets a Christmas stocking filled with small gifts and treats. Then, depending on what the person has been wanting, we buy, clothing, jackets, tech stuff, whatever we can afford. When we visit friends and neighbors, we take them candies, cookies, homemade breads. Our New Years is big football games on TV, and food. And sleeping off the hangover we got partying the night before lol 😝
Having a birthday close to Christmas in the UK is not necessarily a Good Thing. As a child, you usually got a combined present on Christmas Day and zilch on the birthday. This means, as the years roll on, you tended to downgrade the importance of birthdays and, as an adult, almost ignore them. Then later in life you marry and expect your other half to have the same view. After missing her birthday for two years I soon learned to change that view :)
My family shares “wish” lists to make things easier. This year we are giving many kitchen and cooking related gifts to our family.
Thank you for taking us shopping with you. We enjoyed your video, as we always do. ❤
You made us laugh so much when you were talking about the birthdays on the holidays 🤣. You're so cute!
My wife's birthday is on a holiday in America, December 25th. 😊
My parents were immigrants from Hungary to the USA and we do give also money and a small gift. Many Eastern European communities do that.. We also have many pastries like nut roll and sweets we eat.. Thanks for sharing Ksenia. Have a beautiful holiday with your family..
Love being with you at the Mall you make good choices! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Xenia! We are a bit worry about Belarus now.keep safe! 🙏🙏💖💖🎅🎄🎄🎄
My husband is from Ukraine and new years is such a big celebration for him and his fam, but we've been together over 10 yrs so he celebrates and loves Christmas too!
We have body shops here. But you can also find at Walmart stores with many gift boxes that contain body contents, which is more typical during Christmas. Also, the mall has plenty.
For women's gifts I often buy candles, soaps, and costume jewely made by local artisans selling in small town shops. For men I buy a tshirt with a theme they like, such as a car, boating, fishing, or space. This year I also commissioned a company to put a photo or photos of my choosing on pillows, coffee mugs and small blankets. I added chocolates to each package of gifts too. My sons are adults now, but when they were growing up of course they received all sorts of toys, bicycles, books, and clothing.
Hello here in Australia Gift prices range from the very simple to the more expensive. I buy for everybody in my family which is about 16 people and then I buy for my closest friends, a couple of work colleagues, my hairdresser, beautician and for some people that I know that don't have anybody to give them anything at Christmas. I spend more on my mum and then around $50 for each other person which maybe sometimes a little bit cheaper for the kids. I do my Christmas shopping throughout the whole year and it usually starts with the sales straight after Christmas and New year. This year most of my presents are from The body Shop which is where you went to also! I even bought myself a couple little gifts out of their catalogue for the Christmas season this year. As always I really enjoy your video and wish you and your family a very very happy New year. I also work full-time and live alone so I do look forward to your videos and some others that I have found on TH-cam. Blessings for peace and happiness to you and your family.
Christmas is big here in America, New year is the afterwards, although (sadly Christmas is not so much of a religious holiday anymore, it is now a commercial over the top holiday, like your New Year)…we do presents the same way as you, depends on the budget…Happy Holidays and thank you for your awesome videos!
Love this video. Very interesting. My sister is hosting Christmas Dinner next Saturday. We will bring small gifts and Chocolates, Wine and Beer!
Love watching your videos.. Made me laugh when you said it clever for your brother and niece for them be born right after big holiday. 😊 👍
🐶 Cdog 🐶 💜
I laughed when you could not find the candy and you did some expression with your hand. It reminded me of me. This was a fun video.
Its so neat to hang out with you Ksenia love seeing malls and scenery. Are colored holiday lights that common in Russia or is white the standard color?
I am also always amazed how expensive all those "little" things are altogether. But to choose sth, even small one, for your loves ones is a best gift:-)
This is my kind of shop, I love creams, perfumes, makeup all that kind of stuff.
Thank you for sharing!! Beautiful
👍❣️🤣. S.Petersburg 👍🇷🇺
Happy New year to you and your family Ksenia! Thank you for sharing your shopping trip with us! My family doesn’t exchange gifts now that we are grown and have kids-we let the kids exchange! I still buy presents for my mom, and I usually get her treats and fruit to enjoy.
That city is decorated so beautifully. Hello from the United States.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Ksenia! The holiday decorations are so beautiful! Your shopping malls are wonderful! So enjoyed this video! The gifts you choose for your family are lovely .
Wishing you and your family Happy ,Healthy and magical New Year! Love your channel! Thank you! 🎄🥳
You made me laugh when the sales people told you hand cream was sold out...then you made a noise. I make that same noise when i get into a situation. Lol lol so funny. We make a holiday gift bag with small gifts of assorted things or maybe one large item. And because we are old we buy strange things that help old or handicapped people.
I give my mother and sister money for Christmas every year....Have a wonderful New year Ksenyia! Respect and peace from the Republic of Ireland! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
It was very interesting to watch you shop for gifts. I love seeing how this differ and how they are the same in different countries.
5:40 made me laugh so much with that guy running down the escalator 🤣
Oh, you haven't seen these guys in the morning 😃 They are super funny
Amazon is the only place I shop...crowds are not a good idea anymore ..nor malls..to much crime...Pick gifts out on Amazon, and they wrap & ship it..Done and done...Loved your video as always ...Really nice mall and gifts...Jesus is the reason for the season...Jesus the precious baby who became a man to save the world and give eternal life..AMEN..Greatest GIFT OF ALL.. I was born in 1955 and my raising was the same way.. you don't going to someone's house for a holiday with empty hands.. actually anytime someone invites you over you always take something.. whether it be a flower or a bushel of flowers or a plant or candy..cookies homemade .. or something.. that's proper manners... for New Year we used to get together and watch the ball drop in New York but that was years ago when they had good decent bands ..now it's all of the young people and their music....not enjoyable..but I'm usually asleep before the new year comes in ..we don't really gather with anyone here for New Years.. it's more of a Thanksgiving and Christmas gathering..🎉🎉🎄🎄🧑🎄🤶🎅
My birthday is Dec 24th. People don't usually remember my birthday. 😩. The stores there are so festive. Happy Holidays. 🎄
In Texas, I love listening watching your videos ,...keep it coming! By the way I love your Russian accent!!
Your city is beautiful , decorated with all the lights. My daughter buys me special cream every year too! When my daughter was younger, we made those paper flowers from a similar kit that you picked up at the toy store!
In our family any gifts to adults are small like premium chocolate or wine. Of course spouses give and get more generous gifts. My grandkids that are still in school get cash even though I don't like to do that. I prefer to give memorable items. For expensive gifts, I usually do not give those as Christmas gifts but privately at another time. I love the Christmas season spent with my extended family. We decorate our houses inside and outside. Your city decorations are quite beautiful too. Happy New Year!
I love your videos. Hi from Arizona! We give our kids some sort of experience, so we took them to Universal Studios for the day this year as their Christmas gift. Other family members give toys, stationary, or cosmetics. I am 1/2 Chinese so giving money is also given as bigger gifts for birthdays, weddings, etc.
We have The Body Shop here in the States. But they’re hard to find. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Take care.🎄✨
In Canada we traditionally say " MERRY CHRISTMAS" this time of year
- my family doesn't buy big presents for Christmas, as an example this year I bought my grown child some pyjamas, an echo dot and specialty flavoured oil. Then some stuff to fill their stocking.
So nice you are able to buy those generous gifts for your family
Hi I watch your vids but don’t comment, I am trying to watch all of them, keep making them it’s nice to see how you live your life ❤️
Mmmh your family is lucky to have a thoughtful person like you. They can also watch here for sneak preview of New Year gifts 😊
Thank you! I hope they will not.
Always love seeing your videos. Keep them coming. Stay safe and healty!
Beautiful
Excellent video, I loved the lights. In New Zealand we gift sweets, and small gifts just the same as you have shown. We celebrate with food and family so we all bring sweet treats to share. Our son who is 15y is getting new shoes (NIKE) expensive but 1 big gift and small stuff like sox, underware, his favourite treats. We as a family have brought flights to travel to see distant family in Feburary so a small family holiday away then. We have pets so they get a special Xmas treat as well. Its summer here so a day around the BBQ playing at the beach is how we will spend our holiday period. Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to you X (Sue Schofield)
Your videos are awesome and your English is perfect keep them coming hello from New Jersey in the United States
Country music twanging in the background in the toy store. Wish they would play local Christmas songs :)
Me too
Get your niece the jewelry-making for kids she'll love it.
My birthday is December 25 which is Christmas in America. As a kid I celebrated all month long. Now as an adult I celebrate my birthday on the 24th, Christmas Eve because everyone forgets on Christmas Day. 🥲
My Russian is terrible but your English is very very good , keep up the great work and beautiful video's.
I.make food gifts for my family. I make a pumpkin fruit and nut bread for my mother-in-law. I also make cookies, chex mix, and chocolate covered pretzels. It isn't expensive by does take time to make.
Sounds yummy.
For Christmas I exchange small gifts with my friends. My sisters and I don’t buy anything for one another any more, but I do often make a small homemade treat for them ( this year I made them each a package of some different flavoured hot chocolate bombs). For my Nieces and nephews I give them money. Now that they’re teenagers that’s what they want. It’s not as fun as buying them something but it’s easier. Now my husband I usually spoil with lots of different gifts, it’s so much fun! Happy New Year to you and your family.
We enjoyed your video once again, thank you for that, we are really interested in visiting S Petersburg but my wife says maybe not in winter . We are a family of immigrants living in California. To mexicans, Dic 24 is way more important than Christmas because that’s when most of the gathering is done, when the presents are exchanged and food and drinks flow in abundance. The 25th is just to recover from it all. Toys for the grandkids, gift cards for our sons and wives and for my wife headphones for her cell phone. Our best wishes to you and your family in this holiday season.
Ksenia this year I gave my adult family members gift cards. Everyone lives in different states. I buy gifts for kids. But I also do what you do. If their birthday and Christmas is close I buy one going gift. Happy News Years to you and your family😀.
Sometimes if you have a really big family and you all get together for Christmas , we draw names. We put all of the men's names in a hat and put women's names in another hat. Men draw from the men's hat and women draw from womens hat. The kids do the same by age group. This helps to not break your wallet. We draw names at Thanksgiving. But it's also a secret. You don't know who got your name till Christmas when you open your gift. But other than that alot of Americans give gift certificates to favorite stores of restaurants.
It was so much fun going shopping with you! I hope all the family enjoy the New Year!
Wow! What an impressive and beautiful mall. In the city I came from, we had about six malls, and now only one exists. The city I live in now has no mall whatsoever.
I visited Stokmann at Nevsky Centre when I visited Petrograd back in November 2019.
Thank you so much for sharing time with us! A great channel!
Thank you!
Dear Ksenia, thank you for this video and all other videos! I am learning Russian language (on my own), love to see videos about Russian everyday life, and I will definitely visit Russia as soon as this Covid thing is over. My first stop? St. Petersburg, of course! :) I have learned a lot from your videos, and I thank you for it.Have a wonderful day, week, holidays and New Year!
Thank you so much! And good luck and a lot of patience with learning Russian!
Thanks for a great video and taking us shopping with you! I live in Minnesota, US and we have a little Russian store and bakery nearby. Watching your video gave me a good idea to go there and buy some of their candies and maybe something from their bakery. I've gotten candies from there before and my family that I will be with really liked them. Interestingly a lot of the chocolates had liqueur in them! They tasted amazing, but I don't drink alcohol, so really didn't want to eat too many. My adult kids will enjoy them, so I am glad I was reminded of those candies by watching you.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! Yes, I know that type of chocolate candy. I don't know which type of liqour candy have you gotten, but sometimes candy is just liqour flavored, as far as I know. So it's now problem eating them!
I love your hat with the bee on it.🥰
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Please, also a video from Belarusse next week.
Sure, I'll be making content in Belarus.
Respected friend aapko sapariwar mere taraf se Christmas ki advance badhai hai .mai aapki bhawna ka samman karta hu .sapariwar aap hamesha khush hal haste muskurate rahe yahi God se prarthna ewam subhkamna hai .aapki muskurahat k roop mein mai hamesha aap k sath hu.
In the States, I give different gifts… money and gift cards to my children… some costume jewelry and clothing. For a dear friend, I chose a notebook and lip product. I gave my aunts books. Just a variety.
I’m a bit worried about you after some things I’ve seen on the news, especially close to Belarus. Could you do a video and explain if you and your family are safe or being impacted? Prayers for your safety!
Ksenia, seems like St P(Russia) has many malls ready to take rubles from people for winter holiday(just like the west).
I did not know Halva was popular outside Europe,(Spain seems to produce huge blocks in December, very tasty and inexpensive), kudos to you mother for good taste or is it just a sweet tooth?
Brothers are a pain to buy for at any time.
Your use of the idiom is improving, do you interpret on the fly or research?
Have a good end of year festival and best wishes to you and your family for 2022.
Woow Russia 🇷🇺
Hello! I'm a new subscriber. Enjoy your videos and you have a really nice personally and very kind. Have a wonderful new years and enjoy family time together 💕🙂
Here in Italy we usually buy the same gifts you showed us and you bought for your relatives, such as sweets, perfumery products, toys for children but also money. For example I have a 19 y.o. niece and I will give him some money, so that he can buy what he likes best. You are really a nice girl who takes care of her family and I think you have chosen the right presents for your family. Thank you for this great video. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas (even if in Russia is less important than the 31st) and a Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing! So nice to know that you also give money as presents in Italy! Merry Christmas to you too!!
Thank you for another great video. In America we celebrate Christmas more than New year's. I live in Texas and I try to find something to give as presents that the person will love. The price isn't a factor on my decision. I try to put a lot of thought into what I'm giving. My wife is getting a robot vacuum and her favorite perfume and my two boys are getting tools. They are pushing 20 so they don't want toy's. Tool's and welding supplies.
We exchange gifts . Any gifts totally fine
Money and gift cards are great to get. Happy New Year and a prosperous 2022.
We usually don’t give big gifts since we give each other all year. Small gift cards if anything at all.
Can you show a video of your family on Christmas Day celebrating?
Russians don't celebrate Christmas, it's only a church holiday. People can go to the church on that day, but they don't celebrate it it too actively at their homes.
I'm surprised to see so many English signs. Happy New Year
Ksenia have a very happy New Year and ae we say here in America Merry Christmas and happy new year to all. enjoy yourself.
Hi Ksenia! I’m a subscriber of yours foe a longtime and enjoy watching all your videos. I don’t comment a lot but I watch all of your videos. I enjoy learning about the Russian culture from you. Thanks for all your videos and keep up the great work. Btw what does kaka mean? I saw a store sign in your video where the second word was Kaka, which is funny to me because in German kaka means poo poo 😅
Seriously? In Russian, Kaka is a word for children. We use it to let a child know that something is bad and dirty as a poop. And I can't imagine something here that could be named Kaka
I saw it at 6:04 the big entrance next to Deichmann. It says 3ahebcknñ Kacka
@@Lilapurple111 Каскад [kaskad], not [kaka]. It means cascade.
I buy my mum a calendar, this year my dad wanted a new cover for his phone & I got my brother a concert ticket. Nothing very expensive, just small things they want/need. My mum's birthday is January 1st, so I have a card & present for her birthday too
Congratulations on your mom coming birthday!!
at Christmas here in America i get my wife a perfume she likes and i always buy her some clothing she will like. after being married for 57 years i know what she likes. i also give her gift cards to a few stores she like to buy things she might want to have. my daughters and son inlaws get gift cards so they can get what they want. my Grand children who are grown also get gift cards so rhey can get what they would like to have. my great grand daughrer rides horses in compatition so i buy her things for her horse. my great grandson is six years old and going hunting with his father so he gets hunting and camping equiptment.
Wow! Such a nice choice for everybody! The gift cards idea is super clever!
Nivea!
Do you hang pictures of family on the wall? If so you could get a nice frame to give as a gift. St.Petersburg sure does look real nice. Enjoy going shopping with you. Please be careful when traveling. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Hi Ksenia! We celebrate Christmas eve in Lithuania more than Christmas day. With traditional foods and gifts. I mostly buy things for my family what they need. Don't matter about costs. It might be some small cosmetics or some kitchen appliances. By the way I love Natura Siberica cosmetics. We have this store in my country too. And you can find some products in Ireland as well. But its very overpriced. I often send them to me from home.
Very pleasant to watch busy and decorated city in your video. And have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for sharing! Didn't expect to hear about Natura Siberica store in Lithuania.
Happy Christmas to you too!
This year I bought an air fryer for my mom, and a tracksuit for my dad. I sent an ebook to my best friend, who moved away a few months ago. As he hasn't an official address yet, going electronic was the best option, lol. His gift for me was a t-shirt with a yakuza cat on it. Not exactly my style, but it's a cool illustration. I think I'll frame it instead of wearing it. All in all I reckon I spent about 110 bucks, so a pretty cheap Christmas. When I was a kid I can guarantee that my parents spent a lot more for me 😆.
