Oooo the zinc in the razor protector serves as what is known as a zinc sacrificial anode (commonly found on boats), and zinc will be oxidized more readily than the aluminum in the razor blade. So the zinc protects the aluminum from rust and damage from air and water 🙂. Good old chemical engineering classes coming in handy
Those Goody hair ties are like brand new when you wash them! I put them in the same mesh bag as my reusable cotton pads and BAM! Clean and tight hair ties!
When you said you had,”A couple of gift guides coming” I didn’t realize you were going to become my own personal shopping network 😂 Thank you for doing all the hard work for me!
The amount of content you’re coming out with is amazing! Seriously thank you for producing so much. I’ve been rewatching vlogmas 2018 while I wait for your vlogmas 2019 to come out every day 😂
I love your gift videos this time of year! Truth is, I'm old and just not up to date on many of the new things out there. I have young adult children and like to shock them with a gift that's current and amazing every year. Something small, all the big stuff they get themselves or their significant other gets for them. So, I like to do something smaller. I'll be getting them the tile mate and a case. The oldest's girlfriend too. Minds will be blown. Might even grab some other stuff too. I like to do several gifts. Thank you Jess for helping this old lady out!
Those nail files are seriously the best! I bought them for myself a couple years back -- keep one in my makeup/nail vanity, one in my bathroom, and one in my purse.
As one of your old fossil family, I can't tell you how much fun it is for me to see your shopping guides! I don't have a car and don't get out much, so this is a true holiday treat. Coupled with your vlogmas, it's the perfect gift for an old hermit like me!!! Thanks!
These are all amazing unique gift ideas that I will be purchasing for others and myself!! I love how so many of them are everyday use. Like things I would never think to buy but would be so handy!!
Lately I've been finding cute small notebooks at Dollar Tree too! I picked one up with a blush-colored cover with a rose-gold foil geometric design and florals around a cursive slogan of "like a BOSS" that was just adorable. Even the spiral coil spine is a pretty copper color. Never would think it was only $1 if I hadn't bought it myself!
I will admit I didn’t think I would walk away from this video with too many new ideas, but Jess you did a great job providing unique and really useful gift options! 👏👏👏
I love that your gift guides make me think of specific people as you go through thr ideas. It seems like sometimes they’re just a list from an ad to throw together a video. Costco has these incredibly soft socks for 6.99 on sale right now that i know the women in my husbands family would love. Totally open to hearing extra ideas in the comments too ❤️❤️
I am so glad that you love notebooks. I am a huge notebook user, very old school. I have single notebooks for groceries/menu, things to do/projects (immediate and long term), devotions, and other categories. I even have a "Christmas gifts" notebook that I keep up with what I buy people each year. That way I can look back and see what I have bought so I don't duplicate the gift. I get most of them from Dollar General.😊Thank you for this great list!!🎄🎀💕
Those hair ties are the best and I love them and don’t use anything else anymore. Glad to know I am not the only one that discovered and loves them. I just restocked mine from Target.
I love a good, small notebook. I keep one by my bed for grocery lists, things I need to remember, meal planning, etc. I also take one with me when we travel to keep track of what we spend.
YES YES YES to those hair ties! I have very long, very thick hair, and there's a LOT of it. Those hair ties are the only ones I've tried that don't damage my hair AND stay in place!
I feel I should buy the Tile for my husband. He is always asking me where is my wallet; glasses; phone etc! As if I knew where he had them the last time, I ask you!!! Great ideas.🎄
Omg thank you so much for this video!!! I didn't know what to get my boss for Christmas and the Tile is beyond perfect for him! He is always misplacing his phone or his keys and he loves gadgets!!! Thank you a million times over! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎅❤❤❤
I love the tile idea as a gift. I know someone who is always miss placing her keys. One time she even found them in her freezer, but that was after looking for them for over an hour! 😀 She claims it became she is getting older, but she always been like that. Thanks for the suggestion, it is very helpful. ☺
I got one of those selfie lights for my daughter when she went to Ireland & Scotland this past spring for her to clip on her hand held mirror. They stayed in a lot of smaller older hotels and the bathroom lighting wasn’t always great.
These gift ideas are perfect, as you were talking about a product I thought of who of my friends can use what. You just made my shopping so much easier, Thank You.
I've used the crystal nail files! They're wonderful! They can break if you drop them on tile or concrete (or if you step on them like i did) but they last forever if you don't break them!
With the already almost 300 comments someone might have already said this. I discovered that my old phone case, that I could take the case off of my phone and hit the back of it with a hot hairdryer the case not the phone hit the back of the case with the hot hair dryer to heat up the adhesive on the back of any pop socket or ring I was using on that case and it comes right off. You lay it down to cool and it’s actually re-usable. (At least the ones I used were)
Hey Jess, Not sure if you know. I use those hair ties as well. Yes they do get stretched out, but I throw them in the washer in a & put them in a mesh laundry bag & them toss it in the dryer & they shrink back to the regular size. Just a tip!!
Those hair ties are the thing. I have an inner ear disorder that causes pressure issues... so things like headband and ponytails can cause me pain, but these are great. They are not too tight unless you make them really tight. I bought them because of you, thanks!
I've been enjoying your content since 2014. I try to never miss a video. That being said, I have to agree over the last couple of years I have really been watching a lot more lifestyle channels. I'm really excited to see what 2020 brings. Thank you so much for all the hard work. 🙂
my favorite hair ties. My sister gave me one of hers right around the time i went off to college and it lasted until after i graduated. it's the only one that i ever made sure i kept up with.
Your sooo funny. I feel so weird laughing out loud alone watching your videos. I love how you kept the footage of the gloves being a fail. Your reactions crack me up.
Will definitely be picking up a few of these! Michaels also has really great notebooks ☺️ I got a Tile last year and it’s the most useful present I’ve received!
Great ideas! Very useful ideas. Not the usual stuff. Love your husbands idea about the separate phone case for the magnet. A strong magnet on the phone for everyday will strip the credit cards or other magnetic strip cards like gift cards. But Tyler’s idea solves the problem.
This video was AMAZING! Such unique ideas! Thank you for doing the hard work behind the scenes to put this together. You have a new subscriber in me for sure!
Because I can’t comment on Tyler’s video. I definitely prefer the lifestyle which surprises me because I have been watching your videos for years and didn’t think they could get any better! That said, please keep making the makeup videos! I watch them all. 😊
Love these ideas! Totally agree about the planner...I'm very specific in my planner needs so I wouldn't appreciate someone getting one for me either. But would always love a cute notebook
loving all these unique stocking stuffer ideas, especially the eco-friendly ones once again!! love that you are making these small changes and telling us about them too
I'm 3 seconds in and thinking "OMG this is the BEST EVER! A long VLOGMAS video AND a 17 minute Jess video??!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!" Anyone else thrilled with longer videos from Jess and Tyler and Gigi? (and Pinott?) . I always am!
I’ve used the Goody hair ties for years and love them. Target does also sell them. When they stretch out, run them under water and let them dry. They don’t totally revert, but it’s much improved.
I don’t know which one she is talking about specifically buuuuut I’ve been using Bloom planners for 3 years now and absolutely love them. I use their daily planners. Under $10. So many different designs and sizes
Excellent video. I just went to the Tile website and they have huge deals. I ordered a combo pack which contains 4 slims and 4 mates for under 60 bucks. Thank you thank you! Everyone in my house is constantly losing their stuff so I cannot wait to get this. I have wondered many times why someone cannot make me an app that will find my stuff. Now I need to see if I can get this to work with my car LOL.
The reusable k-cups are great also, we started using them about a year ago and we love them for when we run out of ours or just want some regular coffee
Jessica Braun, I love watching your videos and vlogs with your sweet baby girl and husband. I also love these gift guides that you do. It is very helpful. You commented on this video that you didn't like your makeup or lipstick and I love all of what you are wearing. I hope that you did a video on how you did this makeup look. Keep doing your awesome videos. Also give Gigi hugs and kisses for me she is just a cutie and a little character but in a good way!!! I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas. I also love your vlogmas even though it is a lot of work
The ring phone holder thing (that you stick to the back of the phone...I hope you know what I'm talking about haha) that I have works with the Wizgear magnetic cell phone holder for your car. Not sure if the ring backing you shared is magnetic too, but I love that mine is and I dont have to switch phone cases or take it off.
What a great list of gifts and so different! I guess we are both weirdos, planners are a very personal pick. LOL Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!!
I bought the hair ties per your recommendation a month or two ago, and I love them! I only wear my hair in a ponytail when I work out, and I love how it holds my hair!!
I saw on my suggested videos that your wedding videos and stuff were like 4 years ago and I couldn't believe it had been that long already. I started watching just after you got engaged but before you and Tyler moved in together. I'm really glad I stumbled upon your channel 4 years ago.
Jessica !!!! When I remade a TH-cam account a while ago I lost my list of subscriptions. I just thought of you again and oh my goodness! I’m about to binge! So happy you’re still making content and even more excited to be a loyal fan again! 😍

Yay! Science!!🎉🎉
rheaultm33 so does oil.
Thank you!!
yeah I got this for a stocking stuffer - thanks for the idea :D yay
Cathodic protection!
Those Goody hair ties are like brand new when you wash them! I put them in the same mesh bag as my reusable cotton pads and BAM! Clean and tight hair ties!
Chrissy Yi OMG that’s great to know. Mine have been getting really stretched out. Thank you!
Good to know!
I’ve washed mine and didn’t notice they shrunk back. I had tried it hoping it would work but they didn’t :(
Mercedes Rasche - That’s a bummer! Do you wash them and dry them in the dryer? That’s what works for me.
When you said you had,”A couple of gift guides coming” I didn’t realize you were going to become my own personal shopping network 😂 Thank you for doing all the hard work for me!
I am addicted to notebooks. I write lists, favorite quotes, prayers, revelations I have 😁 and resolutions! Have them all over my house
The only place to come for different and useful gift guides.
The amount of content you’re coming out with is amazing! Seriously thank you for producing so much. I’ve been rewatching vlogmas 2018 while I wait for your vlogmas 2019 to come out every day 😂
Grace M this is a GREAT idea!!☺️
The glass/crystal files are great gifts for everyone! I gave one to my 75 year old mother in law and she loves it.

Seriously Jessica, your gift guides have been the best this year 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Those hair ties are the best and I love them and don’t use anything else anymore. Glad to know I am not the only one that discovered and loves them. I just restocked mine from Target.
Also, can you do a gift guide for the guy in your life? I’d love to see something like that with ideas of things you’d get Tyler for Christmas!
I love those hair ties! I have long thick hair and always break regular hair ties. This is a total game changer!!
I love a good, small notebook. I keep one by my bed for grocery lists, things I need to remember, meal planning, etc. I also take one with me when we travel to keep track of what we spend.
Omg I just tried those hair ties last month and I'm so obsessed. Way better than every other type I've ever tried
YES YES YES to those hair ties! I have very long, very thick hair, and there's a LOT of it. Those hair ties are the only ones I've tried that don't damage my hair AND stay in place!
I feel I should buy the Tile for my husband. He is always asking me where is my wallet; glasses; phone etc! As if I knew where he had them the last time, I ask you!!! Great ideas.🎄
Heck yeah I have a glass/crystal, whatever they are, nail file set and I’ve had them over 10 years, they’re amazing.
So many amazing ideas!! I feel like these are more unique than your average stocking stuffers video!
Omg thank you so much for this video!!! I didn't know what to get my boss for Christmas and the Tile is beyond perfect for him! He is always misplacing his phone or his keys and he loves gadgets!!! Thank you a million times over! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎅❤❤❤
This was SO HELPFUL. I really appreciate how organized and fun your videos are :)))))) THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Loved this video! You really do have the best suggestions for fun, affordable gifts that make life better! Thanks, Jessica!
Me: Her makeup looks REALLY good today.
Jessica: I don’t like my makeup today.
What!?!? You look amazing.
Man, I am really happy these hair ties are coming back. I rediscovered those recently. Needless to say, my hair and scalp have never so grateful
You have had the best gift guides and Amazon faves videos! I love your channel, you're so relatable and down to earth!
Just purchased two gifts off this guide! Most useful one that I've found so far!
Wow! Finally someone that actually has useful things for stocking stuffers!! Thanks a bunch!!
You just did most of my shopping for me! Thanks for the great ideas, my family will love them all!
I love the tile idea as a gift. I know someone who is always miss placing her keys. One time she even found them in her freezer, but that was after looking for them for over an hour! 😀 She claims it became she is getting older, but she always been like that.

I love your gift guides! I've also been loving your Vlogmas! Y'all are the best! Thanks for sharing a few pieces of yourselves with us.
I love this video, excellent ideas and I will be stealing quite a few of them. Merry Christmas to you and your family Jessica!
Was admiring the makeup before you said you didn't like it. I think it goes well with the darker top and the simple pulled back hair. Really like it!!
This is an excellent gift guide! Thank you for such practical, economical and yet fun selections!
I love you for understand an actual budget that most of us live on😍😘❤️
Hey Jess, Not sure if you know. I use those hair ties as well. Yes they do get stretched out, but I throw them in the washer in a & put them in a mesh laundry bag & them toss it in the dryer & they shrink back to the regular size. Just a tip!!
This was really really good...not just as a gift guide but a wish list for myself 😆
Thank you for taking the time to put this together and finding very useful items to share!!
I love those hair ties. I have really thick curly hair and they work great!
Those hair ties are the thing. I have an inner ear disorder that causes pressure issues... so things like headband and ponytails can cause me pain, but these are great. They are not too tight unless you make them really tight. I bought them because of you, thanks!
Girl yesss with those hair ties!!!!! They are my fave too!!!
I've been enjoying your content since 2014. I try to never miss a video. That being said, I have to agree over the last couple of years I have really been watching a lot more lifestyle channels. I'm really excited to see what 2020 brings. Thank you so much for all the hard work. 🙂

Ordered the pens and toothbrush protector...great ideas!!!!
That Tile thing looks cool! I might get one for myself, honestly!
I’m not kidding you just changed my entire life with the K cup thing
omg no one talks about those hair ties but they are literally the best!!!!
ok this seriously were amazing ideas for stocking stuffers - put several of them in my amazon cart
Your sooo funny. I feel so weird laughing out loud alone watching your videos. I love how you kept the footage of the gloves being a fail. Your reactions crack me up.
Will definitely be picking up a few of these! Michaels also has really great notebooks ☺️ I got a Tile last year and it’s the most useful present I’ve received!
I love all these gizmo & gadgets
This is the best video I’ve seen for stocking stuffers. Thank you!
Great ideas! Very useful ideas. Not the usual stuff. Love your husbands idea about the separate phone case for the magnet. A strong magnet on the phone for everyday will strip the credit cards or other magnetic strip cards like gift cards. But Tyler’s idea solves the problem.
Never been this early to a video but I’ve been living for your gift guide videos! So many great ideas😍
I love my magnet phone holder. I use it almost every time I’m in the car!
Heck.. I just found at least 5 things I’ll be buying for myself! Thanks girl!!🖤
This video was AMAZING! Such unique ideas! Thank you for doing the hard work behind the scenes to put this together. You have a new subscriber in me for sure!
Got those pens for Christmas last year they’re bommmb!
I sketch and I use them for that and they’re perfect
Thank you thank you thank you for eco-friendly options! I personally think it’s so important to think about!!
Because I can’t comment on Tyler’s video. I definitely prefer the lifestyle which surprises me because I have been watching your videos for years and didn’t think they could get any better! That said, please keep making the makeup videos! I watch them all. 😊
Great ideas! Totally get you on the planner thing... I’m particular about my planners too but love any kind of notebook.
Love these ideas!
Totally agree about the planner...I'm very specific in my planner needs so I wouldn't appreciate someone getting one for me either. But would always love a cute notebook

Oh very cool list. Love that is wasn't expensive stuff but useful 😉! Always a good time hanging with you Jessica. Love your videos.
I literally saved almost all ur recommendations to get as gifts! Ur gift ideas are indeed very unique!
So what’s your favorite planner? Don’t leave us hanging like that 😂
I want to say the one in the video is the brand Clemintine which I usually find at TJ Maxx or HomeGoods. Usually about $6.
I don’t know which one she is talking about specifically buuuuut I’ve been using Bloom planners for 3 years now and absolutely love them. I use their daily planners. Under $10. So many different designs and sizes
I love those hair ties too! They are my favorite!
those are my favorite hair ties too! I have curly hair and it doesnt rip out my hair
Excellent video. I just went to the Tile website and they have huge deals. I ordered a combo pack which contains 4 slims and 4 mates for under 60 bucks. Thank you thank you! Everyone in my house is constantly losing their stuff so I cannot wait to get this. I have wondered many times why someone cannot make me an app that will find my stuff. Now I need to see if I can get this to work with my car LOL.
Just ordered two Tile Mates for my grandmothers! Such a cool idea for an inexpensive gift.
The reusable k-cups are great also, we started using them about a year ago and we love them for when we run out of ours or just want some regular coffee

I literally am just gonna buy so many of these things for myself! Lol. Every item I’m like... I need that!
I have to pick out my own planner too girl don’t worry you’re not the only one😜💜I’m so particular with things like that!
What a great list of gifts and so different! I guess we are both weirdos, planners are a very personal pick. LOL Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!!
Love these kinds of videos!! Thanks for the ideas! 😍
Jessica the hair ties are also sold at the dollar tree. 12 for 1$. I love them and yess they are the best 😉
I just bought the magnet for car thanks to your recommendation. LOVE IT!
What awesome ideas!.. Thanks for this Jessica!
These were awesome gift ideas, Jess. Thanks!!!
I bought the hair ties per your recommendation a month or two ago, and I love them! I only wear my hair in a ponytail when I work out, and I love how it holds my hair!!
Those are my favorite hair ties too! I have like 3 back up packs
Thanks for all the gifts ideas! Headed over to Amazon now 😁 By the way... I think your eye makeup looks great!
