Also, yes! I think you should not feel forced or pushed to keep anything sent to you. Even the stuff I have sent you, if you can sell items you prefer to part with that will bring money to your channel, please do! People forget that not all creators have unlimited space. The thought totally counts and is appreciated, but you should still feel good and fine to part with items that don't fit your space.
I really really appreciate that, Ruby ♥️♥️♥️ And I agree, but not just unlimited space but funds. I think because I buy things there's an assumption I have loads of money, when really our bills are hella low so we can manage on my one paycheck. 😂 And some things we take the hit to see how it will pan out.
I relate so hard to the bra off, floss and meds being right at hand lol. I thoroughly enjoyed ur advent series this year! It's kinda funny to think ur rockin Christmas sweaters and earrings during October lol. All yalls work is much appreciated
Haha! Right?!? I almost took those off the desk and was like, nah, we keep it real here. 😁 Thank you soooo much for watching! ♥️♥️♥️ Right? It was a weird juxtaposition, for sure. 😊
It was much fun! And Yess another one!! 🎊🤗 It must be a lot of work filming, editing and everything else but it's always lovely to see you so I like november 😄 Greetings 👋
Yaaaay!!! I'm so glad you loved it! And though it was a lot of hard work by us both, it was so worth it to bring a bit of fun, joy, and a light distraction to anyone watching. 😊♥️
The recap was fun! It was fun to see what you are keeping, which calendars you really enjoyed, and to see the general aftermath of it all. I'm too picky so I don't tend to buy advent calendars for myself, but I had so much fun watching you unbox Build A Bear that I bought that one for my niece! I love that you buy and unbox them so I don't have to! 😂 I have A Hogwarts Christmas Pop Up Advent Calendar that I reuse every year. It has a big pop up tree and paper ornaments for each day that you can use to decorate the tree.
Yaaay! Thank you so much for watching, Shivani! OMG I don't know why that brings me so much joy. I hope your niece loves it! What a lovely gift, or really many gifts! ANd haha! Well, to be fair, if I didn't have a channel what I buy advent wise would be different too. 😁 We have that same pop up book! I love it!
@@LoveLumos My niece LOVES the Build a Bear calendar! She's 5, and she's having an absolute blast with it! They will be traveling to visit Grandparents mid December, so I told them to get started on it right away so they can get through it before they have to leave. It's so fun knowing that she is getting 24 days of Joy!
Great recap. Loved Matt’s knees in the reflection 😂😂😂 I was a little distracted 😂😂😂 My favourite was definitely the Schleich one which I purchased. The other outright favourite was the HP light up one which I would definitely consider buying. Other enjoyable ones were the carat shop one for the trunk, the build a bear one and the HP pins. Thank you for both for your hard work in producing the advent videos. I’ve really enjoyed watching them. 💜💚💜💚
Hehe. I was curious if anyone would notice his ominous presence. hehe 😁 Seriously, I'm considering writing Schleich and asking them to please do another next year. I want to build out my village. I have to say, they look so good all set up! I loooove that light up one! That reminds me, I need to order some chocolates to add to it. Thank you so much for being there daily and supporting us. It means the world to me! ❤️💙♥️💙
Ya, I was expecting more and I figured if it drained the life out of me, it would do the same to anyone watching. So we just ate the cost of that one. 😂 Oh I'm so excited and I thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It was cool to see "behind the scenes!" We can see how much effort you and Matt put in, and it looks like it paid off! You're at 3.5k subscribers now 0.0 I would love to see more vegan food advent calendars too, if you can find them! My favorite box was the Charmed Aroma one -- I'm a sucker for shiny, pretty Harry Potter themed things :D. I do kinda miss the HP ornaments, but I think you mentioned not liking them very much last year?
I looked sooo hard for more vegan advents, they are almost all European though and it was hard to plan around getting them here because so many did not ship here.
Thank you so so much! It was definitely a jump. haha I'd love more vegan ones too! We'll keep an eye out and you're right, there have been people to kindly offer to send to us. It's a matter of if those brands can drop them soon enough that we'll get them overseas in time to record. A lot of timing stuff we learned. haha Your inner niffler is alive! hehe Oh I love HP ornaments! My whole tree is covered in them. Unless you meant specific ones. I'm not a big fan of the Hallmark ones but have ones from all over (PB Teen, Universal, gifted, and more!).
I absolutely enjoyed all the advent content. I agree with other comments about loving Matt's knees making a debut in the video😂. I also agree that any items I send to you are for you to enjoy or to sell to fund more content. I just sent you a package and absolutely feel free to sell all the items. I love the content and know ad revenue is minimal. I selfishly hope your channel stays small but also want you to succeed and get so many followers who see how cool the community is here❤.
Haha!!! He will make a full appearance at some point. Who would have thought it would be his knees first. 😁 OMG You did?!?! I'm so so excited! I got a notification the other day of something at the P.O. Box and was planning to head there tomorrow. Maybe it's the one you sent. That is so so thoughtful of you! And I really get it. I don't want, as we reach more people, to lose that small community feel of everyone knowing everyone. It's my plan to work hard to maintain that. And it's one perk of getting more notice to the channel is it opens up more opportunities (that otherwise cost money) for me to connect more with people. You all mean a lot to me! So thank you. I won't ever take it for granted. 🥰♥️
Where was your package coming from? Want to be sure if the one I just picked up is yours or not. It might be a slight delay in opening as I know someone else sent something. I'm just so touched by you all.
Okay, I can confirm (haha) it is yours that I picked up! Oh I'm so excited!!! It's hard for me to wait to unbox but I'll wait for the one more I know is coming from overseas and open them in a vlog. You have absolutely spoiled me previously and I'm just so so excited and grateful for you Tawnya!
@@LoveLumos You're very welcome! No worries about waiting to consolidate filming. You totally deserve a break and don't even have to film it if you want it all for yourself. ☺️ Just FYI... The contents won't go bad or expire, but they are holiday related. 🎄🌟 Happy Thanksgiving! ✨🥧
@@tmariehickey321 Awww, thank you soooooo much!!!! And I will definitely be opening it in December, as soon as possible. You've got me even more excited!! Happy Freakin' Thanksgiving to you too!!! ♥♥♥♥
I did enjoy seeing all the different calendars , especially some I didn’t know existed my favorite one so far was the Harry Potter chest that made that beautiful lighted casing . Love that niffler behind you can you share it on a video or where you got it ? Thanks for all you shared and do you and your hubby 😊.
Thank you so much, Traci!!! That light up one is one of my favorites too! I've got it on display with all my Christmas decor now. 😊 You'll actually be seeing that niffler in the Christmas decor video I already recorded and will come out beginning of Dec. I think I mentioned in it where he's from. I'll be sure to link the shop in the description of that video too. But I do have a video unboxing him. And I might just have more to show ya! hehe
Oh we get to see a little bit of Matt in the reflection of the cabinet behind you. Is that what was behind you lol. Just messing with you guys😂. Loved seeing the calendars opened. That’s how I found you guys last year so officially been following for a year now!!
This has been something I have been planning to do, but we need that second camera, so definitely something you will get to see in the near-ish future 😁
Hi Aubrey! Advent season is definitely my favorite season! I thought it was really interesting to see what goes behind the scenes as advent season comes to a close. Do you have a link to your Mercari or where you sell your extra stuff?
Hey there! 👋 Thank you so much! I was hoping it would help bring context to the chaos. hehe I have it linked in the Discord group links (with a 10% off if you're a creating a Mercari account) but it's pretty easy to find. It's the same name as my channel. hehe 💖
I love advent calendars and watch at least 5 or 6 people regularly who do them and that gives me a pretty good selection of them, although I have discovered that there are stationary ones now and I want to explore food ones (beyond chocolate) a little more too. I would like to get some but limit myself to a simple Lindt chocolate one yearly as the prices are just so high. I saw a very neat beauty one called PLouise that came in packaging that a lot of people were saying they were going to try to restyle into Hogwarts Express! It also came with a crap ton of makeup, way more than any beauty calendar I have ever seen (I like watching beauty calendars with a specific TH-camr who absolutely destroys most of the companies b/c they charge hundreds for their calendars and it’s full of free sample) and I watch a lot of beauty calendars, especially for someone who almost never wears makeup! I don’t get out very often due to mobility issues and especially at this time of year b/c crutches and snow are not the best combination, and we have 2 feet of snow and likely will have snow and ice on the ground until April or May. Sorry, all that to say, I loved the advent calendar series, it was a lot of fun. And I would be selling off a bunch too, you can’t keep it all or you end up a hoarder lol
That's a lot of advent watching. hehe Ironically, I've never really watched much of any prior to doing it, or I don't think so. My mind sometimes escapes me. 😁 Thank you so so much for watching! And I agree. Though I'd love to come across more that I keep all of. 😃
Hi Witchy Pal. I thank you for this video! We need to name your hair maneuver! Hold a contest and maybe give some of your not needed Avent items as prizes. Your a good cat momma for resisting the beautiful belly! I did reconize some of those Star Wars figures. But it was a let down. Maybe a kid would like just because it is Lego and ships! I am in heaven about the Schleich calendar. And I am bummed about missing the vegan popcorn calendar.
Oh I'd love to do a giveaway! We did one at 1k. And I've been saving some items for another. The trick for us, is we won't do one unless it's open worldwide (as I find that only fair) and that can cost me more money. So once we're in a position with the channel to have that covered, I'm planning to have giveaways MUCH more often! It's one small way I can give back to so many who have so generously supported me. 🥰 That's a good point! They're having a toy drive around me. Maybe I can pass it on there. 😃 Isn't that Schleich calendar so good?!
I so really enjoyed the diversity of the calendars y'all chose to get and unbox. I liked how there can be a calendar for so many niches or fandoms out there. Thank you for sharing them!! And thank you for all the work and dedication you both (and the kitties) put into your videos. I hope y'all get a breather now ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much! Maybe it's a reflection of our diverse interests, hehe, because we only picked those we a) could afford and b) were interested in. Thank you so so much for the appreciation! Ha! A breather, what is that? 😮💨🧘 🤪

As Dwight would say, they would be 'FALSE!" 😁

@@DraecorInc that did make me chuckle 🤣 ironically I think it did show how involved you really are, even though you weren’t actually on camera 😁
@@LoveLumos oh gosh yes more please Schleich! I would absolutely buy it again next year 🤩
Oh wow, That Star wars was pretty crappy..I loved seeing all the unboxing you did.Super excited waiting for your videos to pop up every day.
