LOVED Christopher's "that's something you only do once" LMAO that was my dad's mindset as well lol
Luke's artwork is exceptional for a 7 year old. Keep encouraging him! 🎨🖌️
SECONDED
Julia & Luke are both incredibly talented artists and love to draw almost every day 💗
Since this close to the top, I’ve heard you can use hairspray as a cheap fixative.
Yes, I've used it for oil pastels and found it adequate
I'm pretty sure they draw a lot. She shows their artwork regularly and they are always VERY GOOD.
Most of these remind me so much of the "made for TV products" that used to trick us into ordering. They never worked like they were supposed to! I remember ordering what was probably the first liquid lipstick. It had a spray paint consistency, and it continued to "dry" as you wore it. My lips ended up all wrinkled and the product flaked off. Of course, I wore it for the first time to church..... bad decision!😬
Haha yup, my most angering moment was ordering their space bags😂my family still laughs at my moments w/ these!
@@Sorceressofstars The sad thing is I bet you paid a lot of money for something that didn't work!! I remember when those started showing up. Now you can get them from a lot of stores and they work!!
Looks like you were only supposed to put a few toys in the claw machine so they didn't spill out and there was room for the claw to work.
Yeah or some smalller candies likes tootsie rolls or jolly ranchers maybe it would work with?
Yep... Common sense goes a long way... 😂
I feel like you were only supposed to use one pack of the toys at a time.
I've seen this in other videos. It works great when you put in the recommended amount of toys in it.
Reading the instructions is for the weak lol 😂
Everytime Christopher tests something out it's bound to be tested to the limits 😂😂😂😂
Can vouch for the elephant spout 100%!!! Saw it here, bought it, and gave it to a friend last year who was expecting. She loved how gentle it was when she was bathing her daughter as an infant and made for a more familar experience when baths transitioned to the tub this year. And the baby is now starting to use it (read "play with it" 😄) in the tub! Brilliant suggestion, Rach! Thank you so much!! 💖
Gotta love multifunctional products that are practical and fun 👏 My favorite part is how kids learn independence and have such a good time doing it! That is also SO cute that your friend’s daughter was not as nervous about switching to the tub because she had her elephant 😊
Last fall our God daughter got the flying orb ball for her birthday. Hers immediately flew off into the sky, over the house and was gone forever. My husband LOVED IT though and he requested it for a Christmas present for himself. I bought it for him and on his second use of it, it flew under the furniture and into a big dust bunny (don't judge me) and got hair wound around it and it has never flown the same. Obviously our family is not meant for that toy. 😂
They're this year's skydancers 😂 mine went over the fence into my creepy af neighbours jungle of a yard never to be seen again 😭 RIP lil beech
That's why it clearly says in the directions not to play with it outside
The rotating projector light is much brighter in a fully dark room so it makes for a great nightlight. There are also multiple companies that make them, which is a good thing if you want a bunch of different options, but the drawback is some are made so cheaply that it's not worth it. If you're willing to spend 30 to 40 dollars for quality; you can get some that also play music.
I bought the hot chocolate machine and it's a hit with the kids. I brought it on our Thanksgiving trip and I've filled it at least 5 different times. The good things about it are the amount you can make, the spout, and the fact that it doesn't really get too hot for kids to drink. The sound is dampened when you fill it more. The bad things are the sound and the fact that the max fill line leads to overflow, I only fill it to 3 cups. It's a fun party novelty but like you, I'll use my heavy duty frother otherwise.
The basket thingy is used as a steamer 😊
Thank you , I just commented the same thing
And the steamer basket handles might be cooler if left up while cooking
I took an internship at an elder home and I used that same projector for sensory stimulation, and in a pitch black room, it works great.
Yeah, my son has had similar ones ever since he was born. And we've always used the lid over the designs, since I assumed it was so you can still have the light designs, but just on the lid.
So I definitely recommend them too. They normally only last a year or 2, but they're cheap enough, and my son loves picking out a new one.
You can froth hot chocolate in your blendtec blender they shared a recipe for it years ago it was delicious and the leftover turned into a mousse texture in the fridge lol
Those light-up glasses are given out at a club by my house. You pay for a premium cocktail and get to keep the cup. Then you just take it back to the bar and they'll pour your regular cocktails in it. I have like a stack of 5 lol
Hot chocolate hack: put powder into empty waterbottle, add milk and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.. then transfer to mug and warm in microwave… the shaken hot chocolate is just so gooood.. I do it with regular chocolate milk too. Idk why, but shaken is far superior imo
I started to shake mine when I was little when the little elf in the first The Santa Clause movie was describing how she makes hot chocolate. "Not too hot, EXTRA chocolate, shaken, not stirred." 🤣
@@Bethany-fo6lt honestly I think that’s where I heard it first too now that I think about it… Judy got us shaking our hot chocolate 🤣🤣🤣
Edit: it wasn’t Bernard it was Judy!
I use a protein shaker, the ball helps to froth it really well
I think for the ice thingy to work better, the ice cubes need to be smoother and clearer to begin with. With the ice cubes being uneven the design doesn't really show up properly.
And maybe heat it a bit? Is the design on the board metal?
And just by the way, those are the biggest I’ve cubes I’ve ever seen!!!
Her talking about a little kid potentially trying to stick their fingers into the hover orb made me realize as a 26 year old who occasionally has the thought to stick a finger in my plastic fan probably shouldn't own that, that realization was greatly increased when Chris mentioned it wouldn't take off a finger because that's exactly what I'd tell myself before finding a way to stick my finger into it.
I've bought three of that exact star projector and it works best in smaller rooms with lower ceilings and when it's much darker. It's amazing for its price point. It's a great nightlight.
LOVE Chris's "they'll only do it once" such a Canadian parent from the 80's comment
I would LITERALLY wear those heart sunglasses everywhere! They are so cute!!
One of the Christmas gifts I got for some family members was the mint frog soap from frolic creations from one of your recent videos. Love the videos. Thanks Rachel!
I'm going to stick with my Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser for my hot chocolate. There is nothing better. So perfect!
I was just looking at the puzzle toy this morning! I've been thinking about getting one for myself. I think it'd be a good stress relief break.
I just bought a 2 pack of those flying orbs at Costco yesterday for 19.99. They were 6 yrs+ glad your kids liked it. 😊
Here me out: what if you paint the top of the ice cube stamper with some edible glitter or food coloring?
I think the frames would also be a good idea for any artist that is short on space or just likes to only show a piece of work at a time in one space in their home and exchange it. much more inexpensive instead of having something framed.
🙋🏼♀️Hi Rachael, I thought I would mention that the strainer for that pot seems like it would be great for steaming veggies. As for the hot chocolate machine, it’s a “single talkers” that takes up so much room to do something you could do every easily without it.
I love watching your videos every week and I’m sure you probably never read my comments, but I always try to leave a comment anyway. 😔I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I didn't know what to buy for my brother (45yo) .. and you gave me the best idea ever with the flying orb!
My kids have those flying things and I believe they’re close in age to yours. I had my oldest in 2011 and my youngest is 3yrs older than your youngest, but they’ve gone through a couple different ones over the years and they did fine. We did lose one somewhere outside, possibly in the neighbors tree 🤣
I bought the elephant rinser for my toddlers 2nd birthday and he loves it! He really enjoys bath time and hes a very independent little guy so he absolutely loves to use it to wash himself or to just fill cups with it.
If I can make a recommendation, I bought the Toomies bath coffee maker thingy for Christmas and it was the best thing ever. When he tried out the first time, he made a huuuuuge tantrum when he had to come out of the bath! He loves it so much, so if any of you moms have a child who loves bath toys, give it a thought.
I use my ninja bullet to froth milk and teas and cocoas. Yes I said teas, game changer. I like my tea with milk and sugar so it works.
I have to pick a gift in the $20 range for work dirty Santa (or white elephant, I’ve heard it called different things) and I immediately added the LED cups to it, I think it would be an awesome gift for it! Simple yet so fun!
The 3 boys I nanny have the flying orbs and love them. They got them when they were ages 4, 6, and 8. They work great in an open concept layout home.
Drone Balls are great even for 3-5 yo set. Better is the "Force 1 Scoot Duo" saucers. You get 2 in a pack, it auto-levels and is more stable than the drone ball. You 'gesture' near it to move it rather than grab it. Much safer for little fingers because you don't grab it.
My 4 yr old loves the flying ball too!!! Great gift and so much fun! Just be careful what space you use inside!
so excited for all these new cool gifts!!!! So excited!!!!!!!
As a grandparent, I would absolutely love to have that frame for their artwork. Love! That bath sprayer looks like a great baby shower gift!
I have that projector for both my kid’s rooms for a bedtime nightlight. They love it!
You definitely convinced me to get a frother though. Not that hot chocolate one but the nespresso one
ALL of your videos are like gift guides for me as I just look for Chris's T-shirts and more often than not, my kid would love them. 😂
Thanks! Now I know what I'm getting my nephew - the flying orb! 😁 Sidenote: I really want a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser for myself. (I don't like/drink coffee or even tea, hot cocoa is my go-to.)
That ball is so cool 😎 looks like so much fun!!
I’m sooo sorry but your husband is quite possibly the most beautiful man on earth! And it shows how intelligent he is! You go girl!
We have that star projector and it worked great in my kids’ rooms! the room needs to be completely dark though.
I had a candy claw machine one time for Christmas! It was so fun! But I also remember it was loud, mine had a lil guard around the hole though so things didn't just fall in like yours, I love the plushy alternative though!
I have the breville frother and it has a convenient hole in the lid where you can remove a small piece and pour in hot chocolate while milk froths. It can make a decent amount of frothy hot chocolate (2-3 coffee cups, depending on size)
Give batteries lmao!!! One year I packed batteries in a gift box for my ex husband. In with the batteries was a note:
Some are red, Some are blue
Some are old, Some are new and then some not so nice rhyming. He hated it but everyone I told this too loves it. I’d do it again but can’t do it to him again. lol 😂
Lmao😂
I was hoping you were going to link the actual functioning star projector that you liked so much as well!
Yeah I was looking for this too
I was looking for it too.
Also looking for that
Same! That’s what I was looking for..lol
Same!
I just bought those lamps last month. Me kids love them. I does project a lot in their rooms at night.
I think I would make hot chocolate, the old-fashioned way on the stove and just use my little froth after. I get for a big crowd using a bigger, froth, or but that machine was loud. Also, we have a bulldozer, and it is not that loud! Even I could go to tractors don’t seem that loud… again I’m used to a farm so that doesn’t bother me. That hot chocolate machine would’ve bothered me!
That was my thought. I have one of those hand held frother things and it works fine.
My 3 year old has that flying ball and he absolutely loves it! We’ve had no issues!
Whatching Chris play w/that orb was definitely worthy of a 👍 😂 ❤
Yay! Finally! I've been binge watching all your old christmas videos, wondering when you will upload this year's ones...... Happy dance!💃💃
yay!! So many to come - get ready! I think this may be my best year yet for cool finds on both channels
@@RachhLovesLife i cant wait!!
23:23 Just FYI I love the glasses!! Am glad they turn off when there is nothing in them
Rachel you should try hotel chocolate hot chocolate machine! I’ve had mine since they first came out and it’s incredible ❤❤❤
I just bought a claw machine similar to that one for my 8yo for Christmas so now I need to go back and check the box and see if it has the improvements you suggested!
I got those orbs for all my nieces and nephews last xmas. Fun Aunt for the win!!! There are also similar UFO-shaped ones.
Yay! I was waiting for your video. Can't wait to watch it! ❤
I have had the hot chocolate thing for years. Really nice for Christmas morning.
The best grandparent or distant family gift is an Aura picture frame. It's a digital picture frame that anyone can add pictures to via the app.
Omg I was on the floor with that flying orb Rachel 😂😂😂🇨🇦
As a fellow 🇨🇦 ... I Really Enjoy All Your Amazon Reviews !!! Because as you very well may know living here ... Amazon has become ESSENTIAL !!! 😂 Sad ... But True Right ?! Please keep doing so your Various Hauls ... My hubby & I are BIG Fans - Thanks Rachel 🙋🏻♀️
One of my kiddos recently got one of those flying orbs. Ours had no instructions of course. I had the exact same reaction as you!
Rach!! I need to know what eyeshadow you’re wearing in this!!!
The frames would be so good for school photos too!!!
On on the pot, when using the Callander could you use it with the handles up ( as long as you don't need to put the lid on)
My daughter got the elephant water shower for her baby, now he's 3 and he loves doing it himself❤
I love the light up cups soo much. 🎉
We use the light up globe thing at nap time at the school I work at. 😊
I love my fellow Canadian using the bag milk!!! 😃. Always look forword to your uplouds always
an edit side note,,, I am Epileptic and those glasses that flash would have me on the ground faster than a shot of tequila lol. Just watching gave me a bad feeling.
I'm surprised there aren't more what the heck is bagged milk comments 😂.
Exactly, invest in a bigger milk frother, they make perfect hot chocolate. ❤
I have a claw machine in my classroom that I got off Amazon. It was not the one you showed, and my students love it. Mine has three knobs to move and was around $50.
My kids got the flying orb for their birthday. They had fun with it for the 20 minutes that the battery lasted.
"am I gunna get it done early, no!" same girl, same.
Chris with the ball is giving coolest kid in detention vibes 😂
We have a similar projector like the one you have in this video and it actually works really well my son loves it
I was trying to find the star projector recommended, I’d love to get one for my kiddos!
Link in a reply further up
Do I constantly ask myself ridiculous questions to fill the dead space and seem more interesting? Yes, yes I do. Will I continue to do it? Also, yes. 😂
we have survived many years with plastic love my Tupperware would be nice to see you try brands of jeans i’m having trouble finding some as sweats look frumpy on me another fun video
I’m surprised you haven’t reviewed the hot chocolate machine that I keep seeing advertised, it’s called hotel chocolate, they’re really selling you on the machine and the different chocolates to buy. Expensive too
My FIL bought a galaxy lamp similar to the one you tried, it wprked beautifully, it really projected on the ceiling
With the flying ball toy, girls or anybody with long hair should tie it up. My youngest has gotten her hair caught in something like those.
Running to get the orb for my son and my daughter’s boyfriend - both over 20 years old. Great stocking stuffer for them. Now let’s find something for the girls.
The star globe is for night sleep. My kids used it when they would go sleep that's why it's not too bright
The flying ball is cool, but it's really loud. Lighted cups would be great for a party w. non alcoholic & alcoholic drinks so everyone felt equal.
We have a hover ball!! Our kiddo and my husband love it!!! I however am terrified that it will get stuck in my hair.
I have the star projector. I had two, but one crapped out and my 3 yr old loves to smush the screen cover with the stars so it's all beat up. Lights up the room decently. Also have the elephant sprayer, I liked the spray part but I wish it had a suction cup on the bottom Because for me it just kept falling over.
I had one of those hot chocolate machines a decade ago. It worked with cider and a few other drinks, as well. The plastic is safe. It is the same type used for baby bottles... And the one I had wasn't quiet but it wasn't that loud. I do know if you have more liquid... it is quieter. The beauty of it was that you could make a drink and drink off of it for hours which was great when I was in college. Personally, I would not buy it... it was a dirty santa gift.
Things like the light up flyer put higher ages so that if it breaks they can say oh well it’s not supposed to be for that age…. Keep that in mind. The blades aren’t exactly sharp. We’ve had many different styles of them over the years. They do break easily. I bought 2/$30 at a toy kiosk once.
I have definitely used my nespresso frother for hot chocolate
12:26 the quick demise of the claw machine was so sad 😢 lol
I would suggest to poor some hot water on the ice-shaper. Aluminium does easily conduct heat which is why it would heat up fast under warm water and THEN put ice on it for a few seconds
My in-laws have one of those shifting puzzle things, and I play with it like every time we’re at their house. 😂
HEY GIRLFRIEND ...IM SITTING HERE 6:30AM ...CRACKIN TF UP ...IM LITERALLY BY MYSELF DYING LAUGHING .....U ARE SOOO FUNNY ...THIS IS MY 3RD VID OF URS IM WATCHING ...WAS SUPPOSED TO WATCH SOMETHING TO GO 2SLEEP ...UR HISTERICAL ...THANK U ...I REALLY NEEDED THE LAUGH ( SENT THIS TO 10 PEOPLE ) 2BRIGHTEN THERE DAY ....🌈💓🌈💓🌈💓🌈💓🌈💓🌈💓🌈
Where did you buy the double walled coffee mugs that you poured the hot chocolate in?
I have to disagree that every grandparent loves artwork from the grand kids 😂😂
Those ice cubes are huge. I've never seen the like.
OMGosh...i need a link to that glass mug/glass you used with the hot chocolate!!!
Yay a great morning indeed
I know messy stuff is scary but please don't limit your kid and his joy in creating art because it inconveniences you. Set up a station with newspaper or since he has such talent and such a want to continue to play with it you should/could set up a room that is easy to clean or is his "art studio" - giving him a place where it is okay to be messy and see what happens if he tries different things - even throwing paint on a canvas - it's a great stress relief and there have been plenty of famous abstract artists, some who literally threw the paint against the canvas - the best part is this will give him an outlet to express any frustration or anger or any emotion really. If you have a shed or semi finished area in your basement these would work best or you could take out carpet etc of a spare room. Or another really great idea would be to set him up with newspaper at the kitchen counter - the surface is easy to wipe down and is less likely to stain than other surfaces - if you have a wooden table I would avoid that but if you have a modern glass top table or another hard surface which would be easy to clean again throw some newspaper down and away you go. But this is really just if it's a small hobby that he wants to do here and there but also will work if there isn't a space you can use as his "art studio". When there is something that will nurture your child but it will inconvenience you please don't just say no - stop and see how you could make it possible because 99% of the time it isn't that big of a deal you just need to be creative or okay with a little mess. Life is meant to be messy and we are meant to get our hands dirty and explore please don't limit your kids experience and knowledge because it will inconvenience you - because frankly the thing that will inconvenience you the most is if you push your kid away or you hold him back or cause him to internalize everything - your kids mental health relies on you being able to put what is convenient for you aside and nurturing them no matter what that means. Nurturing his passions is SO important - that is where he finds himself and how to express himself fully. ❤❤ I know you have many kids and a busy lifestyle but I also know that slowing down and making space and time for your kids and what they want to do so they can explore, play, learn etc is way more important than doing a million things and having a spotless home etc or in my opinion anything else (of course besides providing them with what they need to survive but our mental health is just as important as our physical health).
I have a hotel chocolat velvetiser and I love it I use it all year round
Nothing froths Rachel's hot chocolate more than extremely loud frothers that are louder than the bulldozer that sometimes travels through her kitchen.
You could do home made chips in the fake always pan, the strainer would be perfect for that, I'm british so chips=fries xx😂❤
Woah. I'm always early to everything. But I have never been this early. 😮
