What a great use for those freebies, love those bags too. One thing I've done before is reverse advent so for each day of advent you place something useful into a box and at the end give it to someone less fortunate.
Definitely not a boring vlog, I love watching you get crafty ☺️ I love watching anything crafty! I love the idea of giving those hotel freebies away to those in need, what a truly wonderful idea & gesture. I really want to make ‘blessing bags’ for the homeless or those in need, things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, sanitary products, gloves, lip balm etc. Stuff we often don’t always realise they probably need. I’ve financially struggled this year but I’m ok now. I just find Christmas so lonely. I don’t have any friends, the family I do have is scattered & we aren’t close despite all best attempts, & although I’m still residing with my parents (2 1/2 years in top banding on housing register..), they just don’t do gifts. I’ve gone all out for so many years & barely get a thanks, I don’t give to receive but it’s nice when things are gratefully received. I wish there was somewhere to go around the Christmas period where you can meet young, likeminded people in the same position as you. It does get really quite difficult. I didn’t know they did that at your local shopping centre, how lovely. If I could make it up there I’d have loved to have picked a child & bought for them, maybe another year, or maybe I can find something like that in town. Thanks for sharing. X
Stacey collects them every year and every year I keep asking don't you have enough but she always manages to not have any extra. We have a radio station that does it at several places within Cambridgeshire every year. John K
These gifts are sooo cute 🥰🎁 and such good ideas!!! I’m looking-forward to watching the tea one!! I like me a good cuppa 😁🎁👌
I love that you do these little parcels for those in need. Ria and I have been inspired to do the same.

That is an interesting idea I've never heard of that. John K

I wish I had the energy to make gifts. X
Sometimes I am not sure how Stacey finds the energy but she does. John K
I know.
I save money on buying gifts for Christmas and birthdays is that I get the gifts sets in the January sales
That's a good idea. Thank you þThe problem we have is lack of space to store it for a year. John K
