Came early to remind all those who are bound to complain about prices - she’s not MAKING you buy these things - she’s literally giving them away! Thanks for all your hard work, Fleur! And welcome back, Mike! We’ve missed you!
Nadia Riggs yeah I appreciate that she gives them away but that aside it is technically a gift guide and most are not realistic gifts for the majority of people
Well you can just take an inspiration :) that’s cool too! Honestly when I’m buying presents, I prefer to have just an inspiration from these youtube videos, you are still buying that present from your heart and for your special person, so I suppose you want to change the present a bit and show that you know the person too.
After seeing your recent Instagram stories, I just wanted to take the time to say that I love your Christmas Gift Guides and take no offence from them even though I am broke half the time! Haha. I've watched these since I was 13 (now 20) and genuinely look forward to them every year - they have become a part of my Christmas tradition! lots of love x
@@MissLydiePidie People were leaving lots of negative comments about her girl's gift guide. They were saying everything was too expensive, so basically Fleur was out of touch with reality.
She also said the reasons why they were expensive gifts, as she wanted to do the biggest and best giveaways for her viewers so anything featured she generally gives away. But people wouldn’t be excited and I’m sure would have something to say if she was just giving away primark Pj’s x
Your last Instagram stories made so sad. I always watch these gift guides and enjoy them, even if I couldn't afford everything on them. It would be fun to watch a lux gift guide and a more affordable one but I get that these take a long time for you to put together. Whatever you put out for us I'll happily watch. ♥️
Aryz1991 She was heartbroken because of all the criticism over the cost of the gifts. Looked liked she’d been crying. Really awful for her, she’s only human.
Maybe take an audience poll next year about price ranges to focus on. Some comments were really strange as though you were demanding they buy all the gifts.
I really felt for you when I saw your Instagram stories, hope you're feeling better seeing the positive comments on this video. I genuinely enjoy all the gift guides, even though most of the products are out of my price range. I really liked that you had items for anyone's price range in this video. Thank you for all your effort, Fleur (and Mike of course)!
Annelies Verbruggen I agree. Even though some things are out of my price range, it’s still nice to get an idea and then find an alternative at a price point which I can afford. I love these gift guides and look forward to them every year.
Completely agree. It’s as if they can’t watch for simple entertainment and are jealous of anyone who can afford those gifts. I can’t afford everything on that video and THAT IS OK
I so much appreciated your Stories about all of this, it broke my heart to hear you upset 💔 but I appreciated your vulnerability in sharing how you felt about it. Always love your style and guides and look forward to your budget suggestions so I can actually know what to buy but love the luxury ones just to see all the lovely things!
@@littlemecarmie she posted some very genuine and heartfelt stories in reply to her first gift guide and all the comments on there about how the price points were so unreasonable and she's so out of touch and basically she said she chose the best gifts she could because she wanted the matching giveaway to just be amazing and totally didn't have any intention of it coming across the way it did so she's changed the title to Luxury Gift Guide and also she already has the other gift giudes ready to go at lower price points (stocking stuffers etc.!), but she just came across so lovely in them and said it's been a hard few months!
I noticed people were very mean to her on the first one and I thought the same, she picks this gifts as if they were for her subscribers, BECAUSE THEY ARE. Of course she goes all out, she's a very generous and sweet person.
I ask this every year, but can Mike do a What I Got For Christmas this year? Even if the presents are just from you. It is interesting to see what men get.
Been watching you pretty much since the beginning Fleur, and although i can't afford most of the things you feature on your channel, I always come back for your product knowledge, calming voice and frankly... I just like seeing your videos about the things I might not be able to own! You are literally the only 'beauty youtuber' I always come back to. Don't have much of a point to this, just want you to know not everyone feels so negative about the things that you feature on your channel, I think most of us are here just for you!
Fleur, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your gift guides. I have watched them for 10 years, and even if I cannot afford every single item, your gift guides give me great inspiration. Your stories today made me realize again just how much you care about your audience. Please don’t stop making your gift guides and overall Christmas content. We love them and you (and Mike... and Squidge).
Fleur, since so many are mentioning negative comments on Instagram I just wanted to take the time today to let you know that I have been watching your videos for about 10 years now (25 year old now, started watching in high school). You are the classiest beauty TH-camr and I highly enjoy your gift guides, what I got for my birthday, advent calendar...etc. Honestly I have never been in a position to purchase any of these gifts but I genuinely enjoy your beautiful life. So lovely to see Mike in this video and hear River in the background
Fleur, my ten-year-old dog crossed the rainbow bridge a few days ago, and when I saw Squidge trying to get Mike's attention in a DAAAAD LET'S PLAY manner, I literally hit pause and I don't think I can continue watching this. I'm pretty sure you have the best picks this year, as per usual, and I'm really happy you still find the time to do this for your subs. We appreciate it so much and you and Mike are such a lovely couple, but I just can't continue watching this with Squidge being the cutest attention-seeker. I just miss my Trudis so much. I love you guys and sending cuddles and kisses to all the dogs and to Riv as well!
Fleur I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. All your videos. Everything you bring to TH-cam is wonderful . Regardless of what others think please know that there are many of us who love you you. Your Christmas content is warm and inviting and I look forward to it every year. Your doing an amazing job. All the best to you and your family. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I love you guys!! I would watch any video of you two just chatting away. Marriage goals right here. Also, I know you’re very busy parents with River and work etc. But please tell me there is going to be some version of vlogmas??!!
Hope you’re doing well and not letting the negative comments get to you. I just wanted to pop in and say I love the videos every year, especially the ones with Mike because shopping for boys is so hard! Love you and always enjoy your gift guides.
YES. Been waiting for this video to come out this year, I get my boyfriend at least one thing from this list every year. ALWAYS the favourite gift he gets too lol !!!
Just saw your Instagram stories and realized I don’t comment often enough. I love your videos Fleur and your gift guides are so fun to watch! You put in so much effort to choosing great gifts and giving us an awesome opportunity to win them and it is appreciated by so many of us... a lot of us probably just don’t comment! Even if the gifts are more luxury which is not something I’d be purchasing, they are really fun to see! You also do your stocking fillers one and there are so many older videos which i often refer back to as well if I want a more “realistic” gift idea so I don’t think you need to change the way you do things! Thank you so much for what you do! Lots of love! Xxx
Fleur you're the best beauty TH-camr... you're not fake, you don't moan all day, you're grateful, you work hard, you're friendly, you're thoughtful and you're fun. Xxxxx
I've had a Springer Spaniel for 15 1/2 years. He lived a long and very spoiled happy life. Seeing Squidge tap on Mike's shoulder honestly makes me just want a Springer Spaniel again. Nothing else, but a dog for Christmas ❤
I find your gift guides so useful and have been watching for years. I especially appreciate the mens gift guide as i find men so difficult to buy for. (I actually bought my husband the car that drives on the wall from your last gift guide!). Xx
Your guides are always amazing and I take so many ideas from them! Please do not listen to grumpy people; they will always find something to moan about. You’re doing your best and you’re doing a brilliant job, so you don’t owe anyone any apologies for your choices. You show what you think is best and if someone can not afford one of your suggestions, then that is not something they should blame you for. You’re probably the only TH-camr I’ve kept watching for so many years, so Please keep doing what you do! ❤️
Fleur, I love your gift guides!! Your Christmas content is my absolute favorite thing I watch on here all year long. I cannot wait for vlogmas. Don’t let people get you down. They’re ridiculous. I also love your content regarding being sustainable....something everyone should be conscious of in life.
Your gift guides have been great so far! I really appreciate the time and effort you put in. I’ve been watching since the beginning and will continue to watch. The Chanel sunnies are on my list too and my husband and I have been doing so much research on the theraguns and are really excited to be getting one! Was really happy to see it in this gift guide. You both gave a lot of great information on it. I think it’s a great option! 💕
I love your gift guides as even if I can’t afford the items you are showing it gives me ideas for similar cheaper items - you have always been a more luxury channel and therefore o don’t see why people are questioning you. Keep your chin up xx
I feel bad that the 'For Her' gift guide was so poorly received. I understand that they were pricier gifts but I didn't think they were insane (like I can't afford the majority of the list, but thats just living as a university student lol) but they all seemed pretty on brand for the channel. And pretty similar in suggestions to other gift guides I've seen from beauty TH-camrs. Plus I understand the main reason they were bigger items was to make the giveaway more exciting. And like it was mentioned in the instagram stories I do think if they were lower priced items there would have been people wanting fancier stuff for the 'main' giveaways, and there is always the 'stocking stuffer gifts' video that are the more affordable things. I just feel bad that you worked with all these brands to get really nice giveaways and then got backlash over it. I do think adding Luxury to the title was appropriate, but I personally think the backlash was a bit more then necessary for a video about gift suggestions.
I love the dynamic between the two of you. This gift guide is so laid back, feels like I'm sitting, sipping coffee and chatting to my long-time pals. Also gift ideas are very good (as always) :)
Love these gift guides EVERY year. Stuff those haters you gave you grief!!!! The stocking stuffer video is my favorite because you and Mike seem to have so much fun.
I love your content- my favorite part of your channel is that it’s YOU and a lot of the content is geared toward adults you have (either the ability or choose to save toward) fancier items. ❤️❤️
These mark the start of my Christmas 🎄 I like many have watched since I was a teen and now I’m 21! Keep being you, that’s why the OG squad have stayed 😄❤️
I love how you stay true to yourself and love to see how you would shop for families! I’ve been watching you since the beginning and definitely feel we grow up together! Lol!
I love your Christmas gift guides every year! Especially the ones you do with Mike! It's a ton of fun to watch you two interact and I really appreciate the care and thought you clearly put into these videos. I don't think it'd feel like Christmas without your gift guides. Thank you for becoming apart of my holiday traditions!
Love this and all your other gift guides! Find them all so useful for inspiration, especially if I don't actually intend to buy the specific items you include. In light of your recent story, I find seeing the more expensive items as a luxury "goal" almost? And actually have quite a lot of fun/a nice challenge, finding cheaper alternatives. Thank you for taking the time to gather, and research into, all of your gift guides. If nothing else they are super relaxing and entertaining - especially when they include your and Mike's chemistry and personalities. They really put me in a super festive mood - you're awesome! 🧡🧡
I love your gift guides with Mike! And just your guides in general. Yes, some of the items are outside of my budget. But, Christmas is a time for special gifts and your guides are very inspiring. I love your attitude and generosity and look forward to your Christmas content every year!
I’m a 20 year old college student but I still love these gift guides for ideas or for people like my parents or boyfriend where I try to save up in get them one nice gift they’d really enjoy.
I love your gift guides! Christmas is the only time that I plan to splurge on loved ones and you have great ideas. Aside from the gifts, you two have the best dynamic - thanks for posting
I love your gift guides Fleur! I immediately click on them when I see you’ve uploaded ☺️ And even if something is out of my budget, i enjoy watching them and getting ideas. I’m sure they are a tonne of work for you to produce each year so thank you for continuing to do so!!
Hey Fleur, I wanted to reach out to you after watching your recent Instagram stories. My heart broke for you, I’ve been watching your gift guides ever since you first uploaded them, they are by far the only gift guides I watch on TH-cam. When i see your first gift guide upload it firmly marks the start of the festive season for me. Ever year I have bought at least one thing from your guides as a present for someone or for myself. But most importantly, I enjoy the content you make and therefore enjoy your recommendations! I watch your videos because I love what you recommend and you inspire me to look at items which I never knew existed. I’m shocked you’ve received hate for having more expensive gifts featured on your videos. I completely disagree as I feel you have both budget and luxury gifts on offer, truly something for everyone. And once more you give every single gift away to your loyal subscribers! Your kindest and generosity shines through every year and I’m sickened at how a group of people are making you feel. So from a long term subscriber, you do you boo! Keep making your gift guides and don’t change the format to suit the few. Make the content for yourself and recommend what you personally think would make a great gift, it’s all part of the Fleur De Force style and ethos. Keep doing what you’re doing as it’s amazing x
Dear Fleur & Mike, thank you for the lovely gift guide! Much appreciated & I love videos with the both of you ☺ I am also looking forward for the stocking fillers & sustainable gift guide version ♥️ Such a cool idea!
LOVING seeing you and Mike together in a video ❤️ you're such a perfect match for one another it's adorable! Also thank you for the gift guide ideas, though some are out of my budget they still give me great ideas to search for similar options in my price range. Thank you Fleur 😊
Squidgie was so cute in the background.. Wanting to play so bad and the way he was looking at Mike in the end.. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! I love seeing your pups in the videos..
I love these guides, and even though they are out of my budget (which I already know before I watch), I still enjoy watching them and appreciate all your hard work finding all these things, and I can try to find similar things that I can afford. Your instagram story made me feel so bad for you. Please don't stop doing them.
I was wondering how many people liked your last gift guide just fine and just weren’t vocal about it. I watch them for entertainment and the giveaways. I wouldn’t be particularly excited to win $10 primark pj’s lol
Just here to say I appreciate the guides at any price point! People have different incomes and therefore different perspectives on affordable. And I don’t feel we should fault people for that! Especially when they are generous people like Mike and Fleur who have done lots of charity events/campaigns through Fleur’s brand/notoriety. Even if I might not be able to afford things in the specific video it still gives a foundation for types of items to look out for in my price range.
I love the gift guides and I always look forward to them! Every year I take ideas and use your suggestions for gifts for multiple people AND for myself! ;) thank you for working so hard on them xx
Hi Fleur, just want to say that I personally always looking forward for your gift guides. Realize that I don’t necessarily has to get the exact same ones. Point is, no matter what people say, always love your videos and your genuineness. 😊
Never going to please everyone Fleur, really enjoy your gift guides! I realise you have to take on the feedback but actually I think you could take some of your ideas and find a more affordable alternative 🤷🏼♀️ I watch your content as I like the brands you choose, I think you give a good mix 👍🏻 have a fab Xmas- a long time viewer and a fair bit older then you 😉xxxx
Fleur, I have watched you for years and have enjoyed your videos always. Sad to see you upset on Instagram but you did such a graceful job of looking at it as feedback. I have never commented before and would like you to know, I love the gift guides and always enjoy MDF's involvement and the dogs are so cute. Best wishes for a great holiday season!
Loved this as ever. I’d be so gutted if you massively changed the format or stopped doing these, it’s clear how much work goes into them and they are always the first thing to get me excited about Christmas
Great gift guide and I loved the one for her as well. Sorry you got some negative feedback as you’d obviously put a lot of thought in to the gifts. Hopefully the stocking fillers one will then mean everyone is happy! xxx
there are soooo many averagely priced gift guides on you tube. I like fleurs - its always full of unique suggestions and is something different and fun to watch, its not like she does one guide.
Squidge was making me smile SO much during this video! Great one! Thanks for sharing. That Theragun looks amazing!! Could have used that after my last 5k!
We got my dad a theragun last year for christmas and OMG, we ALL have benefited from it haha. If you have chronic pain or live a fairly active lifestyle, it is *amazing* for pounding out sore muscles, pressure points, and scar tissue.
Love your gift guides Fleur, even if I don’t buy the exact gift you recommend they always inspire ideas! Your eyeshadow here is amazing, can you share what it is? 😊
Fleur, I really love your videos! I was so gutted that people criticised your last gift guide video, because I loved it! So please disconsider these kinds of comments, because no matter what your videos are awesome and you are my favourite youtuber! 💜
Squuuuuuuidge😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 p.s. Fleur I watch your guides every year and really don't think you deserved the hate, you show nice things, that you give away, and they're good inspiration for presents! Lots of love xxx
The best gift suggestion in the video is Squidge! She proves that she’s man best friends. When she gets her teddy and taps his shoulders is just adorable!
MDF with some solid recs! I think my dad would like all of these! Also, love you so much Fleur and I'm sorry the comments were so negative on your last video. I love all of your gift guides even if I can't afford them!
Oh my god!! Squdge tapping on Mike's shoulder just killed me!!!! Too cute to handle!!
And the look on Squidge’s face while they were talking was super cute lol.
HermioneOnABike yes!! I think I squealed! Lol
Fleur, please keep being your honest, authentic, beautiful self-that's who we love and why we continue to watch. We've got your back girl!
Came early to remind all those who are bound to complain about prices - she’s not MAKING you buy these things - she’s literally giving them away! Thanks for all your hard work, Fleur! And welcome back, Mike! We’ve missed you!

Rosie Sharp what did the Instagram story say?
@@MissLydiePidie People were leaving lots of negative comments about her girl's gift guide. They were saying everything was too expensive, so basically Fleur was out of touch with reality.
well, people were right. And she then changed the name of the video to "luxury" haha how deceitful
I agree 💕
She also said the reasons why they were expensive gifts, as she wanted to do the biggest and best giveaways for her viewers so anything featured she generally gives away. But people wouldn’t be excited and I’m sure would have something to say if she was just giving away primark Pj’s x
Your last Instagram stories made so sad. I always watch these gift guides and enjoy them, even if I couldn't afford everything on them. It would be fun to watch a lux gift guide and a more affordable one but I get that these take a long time for you to put together. Whatever you put out for us I'll happily watch. ♥️
TheSMarie42 what did the Instagram story say?
I missed the insta story, can someone please enlighten us!

Abbie Jones agree, there are wealthy people in the world. If you want to spend your life hating them that’s your issue
Julia Coronado agree, there are other pyjama brands with nice patterns if you want to gift people pyjamas
Ah Squidge with his teddy in his mouth looking for attention, so cute 😍 He'd be the top of my Xmas list.
It is my yearly tradition to watch this gift guide I love watching you both I've been following since before you were even married!
Marina Cas A yearly tradition for me too :)
I so much appreciated your Stories about all of this, it broke my heart to hear you upset 💔 but I appreciated your vulnerability in sharing how you felt about it. Always love your style and guides and look forward to your budget suggestions so I can actually know what to buy but love the luxury ones just to see all the lovely things!
My Jewish Mommy Life oh no! I didn’t see it. What happened? People being horrible humans again?

It's a ton of fun to watch you two interact and I really appreciate the care and thought you clearly put into these videos. I don't think it'd feel like Christmas without your gift guides. Thank you for becoming apart of my holiday traditions!
Love this and all your other gift guides! Find them all so useful for inspiration, especially if I don't actually intend to buy the specific items you include. In light of your recent story, I find seeing the more expensive items as a luxury "goal" almost? And actually have quite a lot of fun/a nice challenge, finding cheaper alternatives. Thank you for taking the time to gather, and research into, all of your gift guides. If nothing else they are super relaxing and entertaining - especially when they include your and Mike's chemistry and personalities. They really put me in a super festive mood - you're awesome! 🧡🧡
I love your gift guides with Mike! And just your guides in general. Yes, some of the items are outside of my budget. But, Christmas is a time for special gifts and your guides are very inspiring. I love your attitude and generosity and look forward to your Christmas content every year!
I’m a 20 year old college student but I still love these gift guides for ideas or for people like my parents or boyfriend where I try to save up in get them one nice gift they’d really enjoy.
My favourite gift guide every year. Love the dynamic between you and mike! 🤩 xxx
I love your gift guides! Christmas is the only time that I plan to splurge on loved ones and you have great ideas. Aside from the gifts, you two have the best dynamic - thanks for posting
I’m loving seeing Squidge living his best life in the back 🐶💕
I can’t wait until like 5 years time when wee Riv might make an appearance in the kids gift guide 😍
Best part of this was Squidge. I miss Squidge.
Love the gift guides. I always watch these and Lisa Eldridge's every year
Love your gift guides! Also i got my fiancé and dad the ridge wallets last year for Christmas and they LOVE them.
I love your gift guides Fleur! I immediately click on them when I see you’ve uploaded ☺️ And even if something is out of my budget, i enjoy watching them and getting ideas. I’m sure they are a tonne of work for you to produce each year so thank you for continuing to do so!!
Your makeup looks so stunning Fleur, your skin is absolutely flawless! x
Hey Fleur, I wanted to reach out to you after watching your recent Instagram stories. My heart broke for you, I’ve been watching your gift guides ever since you first uploaded them, they are by far the only gift guides I watch on TH-cam. When i see your first gift guide upload it firmly marks the start of the festive season for me. Ever year I have bought at least one thing from your guides as a present for someone or for myself. But most importantly, I enjoy the content you make and therefore enjoy your recommendations! I watch your videos because I love what you recommend and you inspire me to look at items which I never knew existed. I’m shocked you’ve received hate for having more expensive gifts featured on your videos. I completely disagree as I feel you have both budget and luxury gifts on offer, truly something for everyone. And once more you give every single gift away to your loyal subscribers! Your kindest and generosity shines through every year and I’m sickened at how a group of people are making you feel. So from a long term subscriber, you do you boo! Keep making your gift guides and don’t change the format to suit the few. Make the content for yourself and recommend what you personally think would make a great gift, it’s all part of the Fleur De Force style and ethos. Keep doing what you’re doing as it’s amazing x
I like that you are genuine and authentic! And don't lie to seem "relateable" I love your gift ideas a lot!
Dear Fleur & Mike, thank you for the lovely gift guide! Much appreciated & I love videos with the both of you ☺
I am also looking forward for the stocking fillers & sustainable gift guide version ♥️ Such a cool idea!
LOVING seeing you and Mike together in a video ❤️ you're such a perfect match for one another it's adorable! Also thank you for the gift guide ideas, though some are out of my budget they still give me great ideas to search for similar options in my price range. Thank you Fleur 😊
Oh my, Squiggy wanting Mikes attention just melts my ❤️!
OMG: literally jumped up when I heard River crying thinking it was my daughter on the monitor!! Love these gift guides. Really great job Fleur :)
I enjoy your gift guides even if some are out of my budget I think the point is seeing things you wouldn’t normally buy yourself . Xxx
Squidgie was so cute in the background.. Wanting to play so bad and the way he was looking at Mike in the end.. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! I love seeing your pups in the videos..
Loving seeing you two together so much, you are such a lovely couple.
And Squidge and her stuffed fox? So cuuute!!
I love these guides, and even though they are out of my budget (which I already know before I watch), I still enjoy watching them and appreciate all your hard work finding all these things, and I can try to find similar things that I can afford. Your instagram story made me feel so bad for you. Please don't stop doing them.
Once again, I've sorted my boyfriend's Christmas present after watching this gift guide! I honestly wouldn't know what to get otherwise 💖
Great gift ideas. Your dog made me smile, so adorable !
I love your christmas gift guides every single year and watch all of them, even if i already got all the presents for my loved ones :)
I was wondering how many people liked your last gift guide just fine and just weren’t vocal about it. I watch them for entertainment and the giveaways. I wouldn’t be particularly excited to win $10 primark pj’s lol
When I see ur gift guides popping up I know the holidays are nearer than I want to admit! Love these videos.
Just here to say I appreciate the guides at any price point! People have different incomes and therefore different perspectives on affordable. And I don’t feel we should fault people for that! Especially when they are generous people like Mike and Fleur who have done lots of charity events/campaigns through Fleur’s brand/notoriety. Even if I might not be able to afford things in the specific video it still gives a foundation for types of items to look out for in my price range.
Thank you for all your work you out into these videos. Also thanks Mike for the input. Much appreciated.
Love having mike in the Xmas guide every year I love watching u 2 together xo
I miss the Christmas jumpers =D Always love watching these and your Christmas vlogs
Yeah, I was gonna say the same :-D
NickaPaulo yes! I was watching and kept looking at her sweater and was thinking something’s not quite right..... the Christmas jumpers!
I love the gift guides and I always look forward to them! Every year I take ideas and use your suggestions for gifts for multiple people AND for myself! ;) thank you for working so hard on them xx
What eyeshadow are you wearing! So SPARKLEYYYY xxx
Hi Fleur, just want to say that I personally always looking forward for your gift guides. Realize that I don’t necessarily has to get the exact same ones. Point is, no matter what people say, always love your videos and your genuineness. 😊
We love you, Fleur (and Mike)! Keeping doing what you do!
More videos with Mike please! He’s hilarious and seems so sweet
My husband are big skincare product fanatics. We are planning to order some stuff from Elemis. Thank you for the recommendations.
Squidge is too cute!!! Great gift guide :-) got some good ideas!
Never going to please everyone Fleur, really enjoy your gift guides! I realise you have to take on the feedback but actually I think you could take some of your ideas and find a more affordable alternative 🤷🏼♀️ I watch your content as I like the brands you choose, I think you give a good mix 👍🏻 have a fab Xmas- a long time viewer and a fair bit older then you 😉xxxx
Fleur, I have watched you for years and have enjoyed your videos always. Sad to see you upset on Instagram but you did such a graceful job of looking at it as feedback. I have never commented before and would like you to know, I love the gift guides and always enjoy MDF's involvement and the dogs are so cute. Best wishes for a great holiday season!
Fleur, I always appreciate you making these videos because I never know what to buy my husband! 😄 Thank you so much for doing what you do! 💛
Loved this as ever. I’d be so gutted if you massively changed the format or stopped doing these, it’s clear how much work goes into them and they are always the first thing to get me excited about Christmas
Your gift guides are such a great ''Xmas youtube tradition'', I wait for them every year :)
Great gift guide and I loved the one for her as well. Sorry you got some negative feedback as you’d obviously put a lot of thought in to the gifts. Hopefully the stocking fillers one will then mean everyone is happy! xxx
I SO enjoyed watching this gift guide! 🛍☕️😂 you two are so good together! Glad Mike joined you for this one 💕
there are soooo many averagely priced gift guides on you tube. I like fleurs - its always full of unique suggestions and is something different and fun to watch, its not like she does one guide.
Squidge was making me smile SO much during this video! Great one! Thanks for sharing. That Theragun looks amazing!! Could have used that after my last 5k!
We got my dad a theragun last year for christmas and OMG, we ALL have benefited from it haha. If you have chronic pain or live a fairly active lifestyle, it is *amazing* for pounding out sore muscles, pressure points, and scar tissue.
Love your gift guides Fleur, even if I don’t buy the exact gift you recommend they always inspire ideas! Your eyeshadow here is amazing, can you share what it is? 😊
Always love the banter of the deForce fam! Love this 💜
Fleur, I really love your videos! I was so gutted that people criticised your last gift guide video, because I loved it! So please disconsider these kinds of comments, because no matter what your videos are awesome and you are my favourite youtuber! 💜
Super cute couple. Mike seems like a solid guy ... definitely a keeper Fleur. Lovely video. Huge thanks from South Africa
The for him guide is always my favourite, guys are so hard to buy for, thanks Fleur and Mike!
Keep creating, be happy and stay blessed Fleur and Mike!! ❤
Squuuuuuuidge😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 p.s. Fleur I watch your guides every year and really don't think you deserved the hate, you show nice things, that you give away, and they're good inspiration for presents! Lots of love xxx
The best gift suggestion in the video is Squidge! She proves that she’s man best friends. When she gets her teddy and taps his shoulders is just adorable!
What’s the sparkle on your eyes, Fleur? It’s so beautiful 😍
Also, is it the same thing that you were wearing in your last video?
Simran Gupta I really wanted to know this as well- so pretty!
It might be Tati’s palette x
What eyeshadow is Fleur wearing? It looks super cute and delicate!
I love these gift guides and I love when you two do videos together 🎅🤶🎄🎁❇
Love love love the giftguides you two do together. Keep em coming!
MDF with some solid recs! I think my dad would like all of these! Also, love you so much Fleur and I'm sorry the comments were so negative on your last video. I love all of your gift guides even if I can't afford them!
