@JessicaBraun..... Watching Tyler's channel for today's Vlog (can't comment there), and I'm at the end of the doggie story. I'M SO BEYOND THRILLED at such a wonderful outcome!!!! Sending love, hugs, and blessings to all.
Just a friendly note. Etsy is great for small businesses and I love supporting them on there, but there are also some small businesses on Amazon as well. My partner and I sell books on Amazon and everything is done out of our home :) Love your videos as always! ❤️😊
Totally bought that measuring cup for both my husband and mother-in-law after you or Tyler mentioned it in a previous video! They both use it super often so I have to thank you for that recommendation! 🙌
I really appreciate how you are not afraid to talk about your faith - but in a spot if helpful to others and I never feel judged or pressured. You are doing a good job of - you do you - and its ok to be me.
Hey Jess! Your friendly neighborhood counselor here. I wanted to share my professional knowledge on the sun lamp. The "happy" sunlight lamp is most effective when used when you first wake up. Its recommended to use at an angle (so it hits your eye at the side) and for 20-45 minutes a day. Studies have shown if you use it in the afternoon or evening that it can impact how long it takes you to fall asleep. It's an amazing tool! And I love you for sharing it (and just in general). I use it for the winter blues when we're not getting enough sun (and take a multi-vitamin that has vitamin D and B12 to help even more). I just don't want anyone to get bad sleep from using it at the wrong time of day!! Much love to you and your sweet famjam 💓💓
I started watching your videos not so long ago(what can I say,I'm a little bit older 😔),but I have to say...aside what are you talking about,there is something about your voice...it's so pleasant and natural,very easy to listen,almost calming...and your daughter's name!!! It's beautiful,so original,so sweet and strong at the same time 😊🥰
Those creaseless hair clips for doing your makeup are in so many people’s lists and I finally got them a couple months ago and it’s been a game changer when even just washing my face, I love them!
Your gift recommendations videos are getting me through this night in the ER with no family, needless to say I’ve watched a ton but it’s clear you put so much thought and effort in thank you!
I love the prayer journal I love that! Makes me happy ! Christians have to unite and stick together! I love that so much! I’ve been quiet with god not intentionally! But have been busy ! I miss him and need to talk with him. It’s been a long time ! It’s definitely time !
I have been seeing people with "medium sized" collections doing a "how much does my makeup collection cost?" and it is so interesting and helpful. I did it for myself and wrote down all my products and how much I spent on it and was curious if you would ever do a video on that.
I actually have only 35 products and didn’t factor in gifts and was able to look up my orders to factor in if I got something on sale. Not sure about if it was for a gift card unfortunately but it came to $520! Much higher then I expected.
My husband and I really enjoy our butter crock. We change the water with fresh cold water from the fridge every three to four days. BUT, ours is made by the company Norpo for just over $12. I have five grandchildren between the ages of "0" (due 12/23) to 6, so I have saved many of these toys for future purchases. I'm already finished with Christmas shopping!
@@trishamurphy3357 No but keep the water fresh. I change the water ever morning and my bell holds 1/2cup butter so I use it up every 3 or 4 days. Also wash the bell everytime before refilling it. I have never had a problem. Don't be nervous try it I think you might like it. Hope this was helpful.
I have that footrest - found it at Marshall's. I've had mine less than a year as well, and I LOVE it - for exactly the same reasons you mentioned. I have issues with legs and feet, and I find it is more comfortable to have the knees at a slightly higher level than hips. I have a small fuzzy chenille rug on top of it for when I want to give my feet a break from shoes or slippers [which I don't do often enough]. I put a few items in my Amazon cart. The calligraghy/handwriting book might be good for when I can't sleep.
I wish that toddler stole was under $30! My son would really benefit from using it, but he already got a big purchase item. That measuring cup idea is so perfect for my mom and up until now, I was at a loss for a gift idea for her. Thank goodness for reliable TH-camrs with good sense and good taste :)
The mug warmer is genius! You can get it as cheap as 15-20 bucks ( without the phone charger). I just ordered it for my sister yesterday. And it can also warm candles.
I feel ya about the being excited over cooking chicken, I'm the same exact way over the smallest things (to most ppl)...I wish I'd known about that kitchen stool with my boys, and those wonder works markers were a lifesaver.... much love and I wish yall a very Merry Christmas ⛄
I bought one of the “happy light”s last year and it makes such a difference in the dead of winter! It was actually recommended to me by a counselor when I complained about feeling more down or tired. Use it 15-20 mins in the morning. Turn it on and just drink coffee or read while it shines on me 😁
We have the counting bears and love them. We also have a pop up tent. It's great but my son is really rough, and he has mess it up a few times. I'm always fixing it for him.
LOVeD all the great ideas for “Smalls” to fill stockings etc.! So helpful🙏 Thank you 😊 Loving Vlogmas🎄 Added Blueberry Muffins & Spritz cookies to our holiday baking list! Gigi’s baking time was priceless...Y’all are wonderful parents!
I just played Bananagrams last night with my brother and Grammy! We had a lot of fun! Also, from a previous Vlogmas...my mother still does Christmas letters with a section of updates for all 7 of us kids, the parents, and some sort of Spiritual growth, something we grew on or learned this year, or was an inspiration for us. 😊
Got a pretty cobalt butter crock because of your earlier video and I LOVE it! Can't recommend enough! Also, that ground beef chopper for cooking that you showed way back is awesome!
I just was looking at the color wonder for my 2 1/2 year old son. There were so many choices on amazon but I love this one with the stamps! Also I just ordered the charger and coffee warmer mug for my parents. woot woot!!
I have 5 kids from 11yrs to 15mons and colour wonder are the only markers I let them use until they are 4yrs old. I have rarely had to scrub walls or floors of marker and I cant tell you how much I love them!!!
Tip for parents about color wonder markers... they are awesome and they are amazing, but also a bit confusing. Make sure your children know the difference between those and standard markers, and assume that any kid in your playgroup doesn’t know the difference and put up all markers before play dates!
We love our kitchen helper stool for our 20 month old! They can be hard to find but we bought local from someone who makes them from scratch and it was a great price
For silicon reusable bags, have you looked at how much more sustainable they are than plastic bags? Silicon is derived from sand mining and is pretty energy intensive, combined with the energy and water usage of washing the bags to reuse them. A single use plastic bag is likely comparable in terms of sustainability to a silicon bag or a silicon bag could be less sustainable unless its used over 100 times depending on energy used to make it.
Thanks for the job security at Amazon..lol Seriously though i just worked a 55 hour week and all Ive done on my two days off is binge watch your vlogmas and my other fav. TH-camrs!!
Hi Jess! Still watching this video even though we don't really have Amazon here (they do ship in our country but it would be quite pricey). Just curious since you showed the Vera Bradley duffel bag, have you ever tried Jujube bags? They make great mommy/diaper/travel bags and have such pretty prints, I don't know, I feel like you would rock them!
my then 7 year old started reading that hamilton book and was telling us things while we were watching the show. the adult content went over his head... whew! such a good book. great recommendations. TFS
Pandemic is a a fun 2-4 person board game and it actually works well with only 2! It was 50% off during black Friday so maybe there will be some pre/post christmas sales too!
I love the hair brush cleaner! It's such a game changer. I only found out about it about two years ago, and I agree...why doesn't everyone have one of these?!
Stasher Bag is the real deal; they often have promos or discounts on bundles on their site so better to check there. They also sell them at Whole Foods and I see them on sale sometimes!
If you want a soft dog waste bag for your leash that comes in cute patterns, try the ones from Molly Mutt. We got one free when we bought a dog duvet cover from them, and we use it every day!
Jessica, love you and the family. So much fun. But here’s a question for both of you, other than Aladdin where you met, what is your favorite musical? For me ! 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and Music Man. I’m 61 next weekend and grew up with musicals. Part of what drew me to you! Just curious! Merry Christmas, stay safe and healthy!
Just added a link for the lipstick I'm wearing + the earrings I'm wearing (Amazon!!) - the headband was in the winter FabFitFun box! :)
Your look is giving me Esmeralda vibes from Hunch Back of Notre Dame. You look beautiful
Jess! Where did you get the eternity looking band on your left hand? I saw it on Tyler's channel for Vlogmas and was like !!!! must ask.
@JessicaBraun..... Watching Tyler's channel for today's Vlog (can't comment there), and I'm at the end of the doggie story. I'M SO BEYOND THRILLED at such a wonderful outcome!!!! Sending love, hugs, and blessings to all.
is phase 10 .... Uno? the game called Uno we play in the UK? :)
@@BLK2000 we have Uno here in the US too but it is different from Phase 10. Not sure if your Uno is the same as ours!
The gold jewelry and velvet red headband are such a holiday VIBE!!
I was going to comment on that too--I love it!!

From all holiday gift guides I have seen, this one has the most unique and useful gifts.

Found the same one at Walmart for $2! 🥳
Anyone else can only think of "Finger pulp" when the happy light was shown? Lol

THANK YOU!!! 😊😊😊
Girl I don’t have a dog, kid or a kitchen but I’m still watching every. single. second of this video!!!
The gold and maroon combo you are wearing is SO PRETTY
I started watching your videos not so long ago(what can I say,I'm a little bit older 😔),but I have to say...aside what are you talking about,there is something about your voice...it's so pleasant and natural,very easy to listen,almost calming...and your daughter's name!!!

Just FYI for everyone the small, glass measuring cup is at Walmart for just a few bucks. Thank you for the gift guide, chica!!
If you’re in Australia you can get them in Kmart.
Yes it’s $1.76! I got it at Walmart last week! I remembered Jessica talking about it
Yes! I was thinking the same thing!
Our Menards had it too for under $2
Also at Big Lots for around $1.50!
One of my favorite gifts that I’m giving this year from Amazon is a One Line a Day journal! It’s such a fun, practical way to journal

It’s so scary to realise how much money you have spent on make up 😱
I'm going to have to do this for myself. I'm curious 🤔

A fantastic game is 5 crowns. My husband and I love it!
My kids LOVED those counting bears when they were younger! Hours of fun!
Butter bell this is a very old fashion gadget. My mom has had her butter bell since her wedding shower. I just love mine
Is your butter ever spoiled? I'm nervous about trying it lol!
@@trishamurphy3357 No but keep the water fresh. I change the water ever morning and my bell holds 1/2cup butter so I use it up every 3 or 4 days. Also wash the bell everytime before refilling it. I have never had a problem. Don't be nervous try it I think you might like it. Hope this was helpful.
I really appreciate that you left kids for last so I can just cut the video haha. I’m serious, thank you
Looking GORGEOUS! That burgundy velvet headband & lipstick with the gold hoops (and bare shoulder!) is so beautiful, plush, festive... everything.

Love that window pane with the wreath hanging in the background. So pretty. 🙋♀️
Yes me too! I've never seen it b4
Oh my word I had the painting smock when I was a kid over 30 yrs ago that looked just like that. Genius for the art lover child.
I feel ya about the being excited over cooking chicken, I'm the same exact way over the smallest things (to most ppl)...I wish I'd known about that kitchen stool with my boys, and those wonder works markers were a lifesaver.... much love and I wish yall a very Merry Christmas ⛄

JESS TO THE RESCUE!!! These are fantastic!! Christmas--- done!!!
That’s so neat that it is clear on everything else! Love it!
Yessss! I have that prayer journal and it’s great!!!!
Enjoying Jessica during my Covid-19 recovery.❤️
Phase 10 twist is so much more fun to play.
We have the counting bears and love them. We also have a pop up tent. It's great but my son is really rough, and he has mess it up a few times. I'm always fixing it for him.
LOVE that butter idea! We use real butter & it is always hard from the refrigerator. Never heard of this item.... it is Genius!!! Thanks Jessica
LOVeD all the great ideas for “Smalls” to fill stockings etc.! So helpful🙏 Thank you 😊 Loving Vlogmas🎄 Added Blueberry Muffins & Spritz cookies to our holiday baking list! Gigi’s baking time was priceless...Y’all are wonderful parents!

I bought the humidifier you recommended not long ago and it was such a great purchase! So much easier to deal with than my old one.
I've literally been waiting for this!! YESSSSS You always have great gift ideas to share.. to be honest I buy a lot of them for myself.. muahaha.
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮😊 I love your headband, that color goes with your lipstick! And it's beautiful on you!
Omg lol we used the counting bears thing in Kindergarten in Australia. I clearly loved them since it stuck in my memory
That thing to clean your brushes is God! I was born in 1961 and my Mom had one. I am still using it!!!
Omg the mug warmer is also a drink chiller!
The stool is called a learning tower and it is really useful for kids 😁
I don’t know if they still have it, but when my son was young they had color wonder watercolor paints as well. Kept the mess down and he loved it!
Jessica made me buy it!! I just turned on my Light Therapy Lamp. 🤣
Tip for parents about color wonder markers... they are awesome and they are amazing, but also a bit confusing. Make sure your children know the difference between those and standard markers, and assume that any kid in your playgroup doesn’t know the difference and put up all markers before play dates!

This has played out to be a hard month but I get to look forward to your videos and that makes a huge difference
Love the little measure cup - I have one. I use it when I'm making pastry dough and need tablespoons of ice cold water!

omg you look gorgeous in this video!!! Love the headband and lipstick combo!!!
This is one of the best list I've seen!
I bought the measuring cup but found a larger version, its so great!
I love watching your youtube videos. So calming and relaxing! Keep up your amazing work :)
Wow the lipstick and headband look so good with your complexion! You need to wear that more and not just for the holidays.
Insanely in love with your festive background 😍🎄😍
Love you girl!!!! I get so excited when you upload!!!!💕💕💕
What lip color are you wearing?gorgeous
Jessica you look like Christmas incarnated! 🎄
My son loved that counting bear set for a long time
my then 7 year old started reading that hamilton book and was telling us things while we were watching the show. the adult content went over his head... whew! such a good book. great recommendations. TFS
I can vouch for the lid organizer. It is amazing!!
Not gonna lie, I’m watching this video to see what I can buy for myself lol 🤫
I absolutely love my butter crock!! I saw it first in France years ago and never looked back!!
These are all fantastic suggestions! I found 4 items will be purchasing (husband, sister and daughter who is also 2 1/2)
Pandemic is a a fun 2-4 person board game and it actually works well with only 2! It was 50% off during black Friday so maybe there will be some pre/post christmas sales too!
I love the hair brush cleaner! It's such a game changer. I only found out about it about two years ago, and I agree...why doesn't everyone have one of these?!

Lol im doing my makeup and we be wearing the same headband! Love me some fabfitfun
I'm wearing the same headband right now! FFF for the win. 🤗
Saw the thumbnail and had to come and comment that you look so pretty with your headband and earrings 😍😍

I would recommend Disney’s villainous game. You get to play as classic villains and the first one to complete their objective wins.
Your channel deserves to be over a million! Praying you get there soon 😬🤗 love your videos!!
Wait. She’s NOT over a million?? TH-cam continues to confound.
I got a butter crock after you first mentioned it. I LOVE IT. It is genius.
I ordered the happy light and I cant wait to get it.
You convinced me to buy the butter crock last time you posted an amazon guide and it's soooo great.
Been looking for a meat thermometer. That Habor one has a 40% off coupon today!
I just love you and thank you for always such great videos... big fan...😁❤❤❤
Where is your sweater from?? I love it!
I asked for more Stasher bags for Christmas haha. Also, I bought that bougie Le Creuset butter crock in red and I love it 😀

I love my sun light I turn it around and bounce the light off the wall
