I know in previous videos you shared that opening presents on Christmas can be overwhelming because you don't know what it is when you open it but everyone else does. So the fact that your boyfriend brailled the packaging so you can read what it was rather than waiting for someone to explain/tell you was the sweetest thing ever.
My dad made a plastic connect 4 accessible for me, tip: don't drill into them they will break, instead use a tool to sand down one color, so one is smooth and the other has the tactile feel of ridges or whatever your set has, as to have the holed big enough to feel easily the structural integrity gets sacrificed
That will only work if the tokens aren't already smooth. I have a set where the tokens are smooth on the face and the sides, so you can only tell the difference by looking at the colors. Also sanding down 21 tokens would take a heck of a long time.
What?? Dude she's a Braille reader so she could easily feel a very little hole... Also is really easy to drill through that kind of plastic without breaking it. Like REALLY easy, unless you're trying to use completely the wrong tool for the job or have no idea how to use a drill. Maybe you somehow got some brand of set that made a bizarre choice of what plastic to use but still, there's not a lot of plastics that you can't easily drill a clean little hole through.... Please don't discourage people from using the hole method to make these sets accessible cause it's the best way and other people don't seem to have any issue doing it.
@@Lindseyisloony thing is. You need to know how to drill. You need to start with a small pilot hole. Doing a big one in one go will break the plastic.
Your partner is IN LOVE with you. You both deserve each other so much. So glad you both have one another and met.😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️you both see each other for who you guys are so well
Molly, both Krylon and Rustoleum made anti-slip floor coating in a spray can, just like their spray paints. They are transparent and dry to make a matte anti-skid finish. Very effective for slippery tile floors, but also a quick easy way that your boyfriend could spray a fast matte coating on the Connect Four pieces. You'll be able to tell which ones they are immediately.
I'm not blind but I love watching your videos when I'm driving or crocheting because they're so easy to just listen to!! For your travel or fashion videos, I'll typically watch with my eyes a little more but you're my go-to driving channel lol ❤
This is the first creator I watch posting this type of video like all have done years before. I thought I wasn’t seeing them because of the state of the economy and all the people struggling. But good on her for keeping the TH-cam tradition alive. I want to see what everyone got. Hope more people post their videos. 🎉
@@Chelle-yz5sc I think that’s it. The American creators I watch haven’t posted any of these type of videos… but I have to remember that she is Canadian so she’s not affected by our economy.
Molly, you never cease to amaze me. Your appreciation and love of things you can't see but use touch to experience. At times I forget you are even blind. You are truly an inspiration.
I think about how often on videos creators have to cover a note because it's personal, and I LOVE how you can wave your personal note from your boyfriend in front of the camera and it's in Braille and no one can read it except you, with your fingers. So lovely! 🥰
Molly, for pants that you need to get altered in length. Have the tailor take it out of the middle let and then make the two sections meet together so you don't lose the shape of the pant. Just a tip from a woman who designs clothes and took a degree in Fashion design. This works well for shortening, but in my tall girlies, you can do the same thing but add lace or cool ribbons to lengthen your pants. The lace and ribbon really work great on jeans too. My mom used to add to all of my pants growing up. I grew so fast that I had lace and ribbon added in layers up my legs. They were so cool!
I really enjoy watching your gift hauls. The gifts are always so well thought out and meaningful without being just over the top for the sake of spending money. I really love this style of gift giving, I need a group where we can buy thoughtful gifts for each other I think 😂 it is my love language
I know it’s the bare minimum, but I am so happy you found such a sweet and considerate boyfriend to enjoy life with. I’ve heard so many horror stories of significant others not putting effort into making Christmas special, and it makes me so happy that not only does he think of amazing, thoughtful gifts for you, but he takes the time to braille the packaging so you don’t feel overwhelmed on Christmas opening things that you can’t tell what they are. Gives me hope ❤ Merry Christmas!
Me looking at all the pictures we have yet to hang up after moving into our new house in April and you have it all hung up from Christmas. Awesome stuff and inspiring me to get our stuff up!
Hi Molly my name is lily and I want to say thank you for blind awareness and just all your videos and for Christmas I got braille playing cards very cute stuffy
Hi Molly, 👋🏻 been watching you for years! Love you, your family, and your content ❤️ My husband and I live in a small apt built in the 50's. There is very little light and no overhead lights. We looked into pendulum lights that go on the ceiling yet plug in and have cool lampshades. Try that for dim lighting and only leaves a tiny hole in the ceiling you can patch up before you move out. Hope that helps and good health to you and your family for 2025🎉❤😁
I wish I could remember which video or short you previously discussed connect 4 in because I remember hoping the comments about adding holes would make it far enough up that you'd see some! It's the best way by far. So easy, minimal time and mess to do, no things to add on that could fall off later. Just one small hole in each of one color and done! Contrary to another comment I saw here, the pieces won't break unless your boyfriend can't use a drill at all. Dremel rotary tool is better but most people don't own one. My set and your set are the same so I can tell you that plastic is going to be easy peasy to put holes in.
Molly you can wear the mesh black body suit with a sports bra, a lacy bra, or fitted tank top underneath! I have a similar mesh top and that’s how I style it. I like watching your video because it helps me to figure out what to get other people in my life next year😂
That elephant stuffie looks adorable! That's awesome that your boyfriend is going to drill holes in the connect 4 for you so you will be able to tell the difference between the red ones and the yellow ones. That is so sweet! That ring watch is so cool! That carnation retro ring looks awesome!
hey, molly, your boyfriend is so sweet to you. that was nice of him to braille your stuff for you. i wonder how long it took him to learn how to do that for you.
Hello Molly. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you. Just a little secret. I am 61 years old & I still sleep with a stuffy. She is my late Mums teddy bear. I have to have have somewhere to rest my arms, so Izzy is ideal. Take care. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
@Molly if you like those chocolate hedgehogs you must love Kinder Bueno, have you tried them? The body suit would look cool with a red bando top underneath, black flowy pants and those new boots. Then add the red lip and bag.
So long ago, I had Polo bear bed sheets, on a blue and white pin stripe, which I didn't love because they seemed so masculine, even though I loved blue and thought the bears were cute. My mom bought them because they were super on sale, so like the absolute lowest priced bed sheets in the shop. I might still have them somewhere, although unlikely because they were for a twin bed and I don't have a twin bed anymore.
If you decide to keep the mesh bodysuit I wonder if it will work well with the pants you picked up in Japan? I agree that the boots will work really well with the bodysuit.
Can you just put a little tactile sticker both sides of one of the colors for the connect 4? That way they won't break from the drill. They are indented on each side so the tactile sticker won't hinder them from going in properly.
Looking at the image it’s similar to any home emergency kit. Canned Food and water for a few days. Flashlights, portable radio, respirator masks, first aid kit, duck tape, etc. I live in Canada and include winter gloves, hats and socks and a mini campstove in my kit.
It’s pretty similar. Basically, a minimum of 3 days worth of food and water, first aid, kit, flashlight, spare batteries, battery powered radio, backup power supply for cell phones, a couple of changes of clothing, etc. Also, if you have children or pets, at least three days worth of provisions for them.
I'm curious why Tony's is your favorite chocolate. Awesome company but I personally don't find the taste to be anything special so it's hard to me to justify the splurge to myself even though I'd like to support the brand.
I know in previous videos you shared that opening presents on Christmas can be overwhelming because you don't know what it is when you open it but everyone else does.

It made me tear up hes so perfect for her
I thought that was beautiful.
Who showed him how to use the braille machine?
@@kareneide I mean.. I'm sure you can find videos, or Molly's mom knew someone who would teach him?
@ Sure.. You can find everything on the internet.

@@Lindseyisloony thing is.
You need to know how to drill.
You need to start with a small pilot hole.
Doing a big one in one go will break the plastic.
No dude a hole that goes inwards is very hard to feel the ene that pops outwards in a dot. In general embossing upwards is more legible the dowwards
You use a sanding tool takes very little time. Is they are not already all smooth.
Your partner is IN LOVE with you. You both deserve each other so much. So glad you both have one another and met.😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️you both see each other for who you guys are so well

The fact that he brailed your gifts for you IS SO GOOD. That made me smile so much to hear and see :)
OMG! Your boyfriend did sooo well in his gift giving. You guys are perfect for each other in so many ways! Molly, you have GREAT style!
Would be so fun to see a video of you styling the new clothes you got for Christmas!

It’s kinda tacky to be especially with the economy.

You guys are the cutest together. I love seeing you so happy with your partner.
You always gift AND give the best gifts. Your loved ones always know you so well, and you them! Thank you for sharing every year!

Merry Christmas to you all Molly. I hope you enjoyed your day with your family.
I’m dying to know what everyone thought of Elton John’s gifts though

Love this yearly tradition!! I always use this video as good inspiration for birthday gifts for the coming year! Love you Molly! Happy 2025!! 🩵
Totally agree with the chocolate....I like my chocolate cold and crunchy fresh out of the fridge.
Happy safe, healthy New Year to you and your families! 🥳🎉
That big green flower ring is great😊
Me looking at all the pictures we have yet to hang up after moving into our new house in April and you have it all hung up from Christmas. Awesome stuff and inspiring me to get our stuff up!
Wow! The Ralph Lauren blanket outfit is fabulous! The pants are so worth tailoring. Great find. Happy 2025.
You have a very thoughtful boyfriend
It is cute how you did this video in your pajamas. I really like your hair darker like this it really shows off your facial bone structure better.
Yes!! I was just looking for a video of yours to watch while I eat my spring rolls
Hi Molly my name is lily and I want to say thank you for blind awareness and just all your videos and for Christmas I got braille playing cards very cute stuffy
I love your haul. So sweet how much they know you. Pretty sure that ring is a rose. Love to all. 😘😘😘

Yooo a mocha martini? That sounds soo good! I need his recipe for my first new years as a 21 year old🙏🙏
Hope you had amazing Christmas Molly and ur boyfriend 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
2:36 "I could hug a pillow, that's lame- I wanna hug a stuffie" words of wisdom to carry us into 2025 and to the rest of eternity.
Hope that you had an amazing Christmas!!!!
Yay, thank you for making these still! 😊

Careful with candles!! I had no idea they’re highly toxic to cats and dogs - unless sold by pet safe specific brands❤
love the bedside lamps
Happy new year Molly
I wear my night pants during the day they are just so comfy.
That set is gorgeous!!
Have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I think you’d love the Uniqlo quilted bags, they fit so much and they go with everything!
Wonderful gifts. Happy new year Molly and bf. 🎉❤

Oh, Love the artwork from your parents. Ohhhh, THE BOOTS!!! And the body suit! 🔥 THE JEANS ARE SO COOL! What! The cream Ralph Lauren suit! 🥰
I love the jeans ❤
Have a joyful and peaceful rest of the year! See you in 2025!
LOVE those jeans!!
You got a lot you’re so lucky, I love stuffies too
hey, molly, your boyfriend is so sweet to you. that was nice of him to braille your stuff for you. i wonder how long it took him to learn how to do that for you.
Molly...You should check out The Blind Woodsman... he creates some neat bowls and his wife paints them sometimes.
You could totally style the black body suit with a strapless dress, dressy pants but it is totally doable 😊
Hello Molly. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you. Just a little secret. I am 61 years old & I still sleep with a stuffy. She is my late Mums teddy bear. I have to have have somewhere to rest my arms, so Izzy is ideal. Take care. Jane in New Zealand
🇬🇧 🇳🇿
Happy New Year! This was a fun video.
@Molly if you like those chocolate hedgehogs you must love Kinder Bueno, have you tried them?
The body suit would look cool with a red bando top underneath, black flowy pants and those new boots. Then add the red lip and bag.
Happy holidays
I LOVE the jeans!
Molly, I'm almost 45, and I still have a spare pillow or a stuffed animal to cuddle while I sleep.
I have that same beanie!! I’m fully sighted but I use it a lot
Chocolate from the fridge has better crunch and texture. But I never have a space in my fridge for chocolate 😅
So long ago, I had Polo bear bed sheets, on a blue and white pin stripe, which I didn't love because they seemed so masculine, even though I loved blue and thought the bears were cute.

Very nice gift haul, Molly!
I just watched the thumbnail change before my eyes…neat :)
Molly, my cousin and her daughter got me a weighted stuffed dog. It’s a border collie. I’m also a side sleeper, so it will help me.
Yooo! 3 mins ago! Dang I am EARLY!!! ❤❤❤ love you Molly!
Love this video
So cute
All my chocolate goes right into the fridge when it comes home.

Can you just put a little tactile sticker both sides of one of the colors for the connect 4? That way they won't break from the drill. They are indented on each side so the tactile sticker won't hinder them from going in properly.
I would put velcro dots on the connect 4 pieces! I think it may be easier that way!
Yah like the bump dots I had a connect 4 that was bought from maxiaids and the pieces were cardboard so it didn’t last
Love the dog p.js pants
I got a puzzle for christmas. This year my family did secret santa so we all just bought for one person. My sisters son got the most presents though!
I miss you with your long hair. This bar is cute and all, but I’m just imagining you with a little bit longer hair and some waves would look amazing.
Like pink and green lamp
Clock rings are back! Am I 10 again?? What a trip
Omg I feel the exact same way about stuffies and we're the same age 😂Feels like im crushing my collarbones without a stuffie. Mines a sloth.
love that bag charm, so adorable! Do you know where it is from?
Where’s the chocolate orange treat you always get?? lol 😂 clearly I’ve been watching for years.
I love those black boots. Where can you find them I’d like to check them out more?
I have those boots they are so hard to take off afterwards
I may be wrong, but that bag charm also looks like an AirPods case
Ah want one 😮 3:11
Did everyone love Elton’s gifts?
I googled that artist, Rschelle Moon. She's got some awesome pieces
Your boyfriend is a keeper§! I really like my hat with a light on it.
Wow 3 mins ago 🎉
The amount of gifts people in the US/Canada give each other always surprises me... or maybe I'm too poor lol
I like my choclate cold too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got presents for myself. I feel like people think it's a weird thing to do. 😳
I do it every year I just don't wrap them
@personincognito3989 Oh, I had mine wrapped! 😊
Hello
They make braille uno.
🎉
Idk if you know this, but the only B roll that played was the book clock :(
