I was left speechless LOL . This is something your children could do all at the same time and mum and dad could supervise and maybe help what precious memories you are creating
When we have had toys that were too loud, we take some masking tape and cover up the speaker. You can do a few layers to dampen it even more. It makes a remarkable difference and doesn't damage the toy. We have done this MANY times over the years.
I was looking forward to this! I watch so many of these type of videos each year to get ideas and yours stick in my memory as truly worth watching. Thank you!
Hi, when you hook that karaoke to the Bluetooth. I think that will turn your volume up-and-down as well on your phone. It might don't quote me on it, but you might be able to do that. You could maybe check that out when you read it. I'm sure it should have instructions on how to turn it up-and-down. Good luck
@@MaryWeldon-ez2le thank you for the tip, I will definitely be seeing if that will control the volume! I’m thinking surely there has to be a way to turn the volume down, but these kind of toys always worry me with the sound lol.
Just a warning, we got that “crayzslimy” set, the one in the white box, and it was the worst slime we ever had. It was so sticky, we couldn’t get it off our hands and we ruined 2 shirts in the process of trying to get it off our hands. 😬 Not sure if we got a bad batch or what but I didn’t try buying that brand again!
@@amberhd2787 oh no!!!!! We had some slime go bad and this happened. I don’t want to deal with that again! I’m seriously considering returning it now and getting more of the butter kind. 😬 Thank you for the warning!
Always enjoy your gift guide around this time of year. Thank you! I admit to being somewhat distracted by the missing bell on your sweater collar though 😂. It’s one of those when you’ve seen it you can’t stop seeing it situations😄. Chop off the one on the other side and you’ll be good to go. Have a wonderful Christmas. The kids are going to love these 😊
@@jackieoconnor4926 thank you for coming back year after year! 😂 yes I saw it when I first bought it at the thrift store and then forgot about it before I wore it for the video. Cutting off the other side is a perfect idea, thank you! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well!
I have a couple of those trays and got lucky and paid less than $5 thrifting. New to your channel. I have an 8yr old granddaughter so I enjoy getting ideas.
I have a debt card pay for food presents all the stuff .Also dont put lots of money on it than if anyone steals it they cant spend heaps of YOUR money.
🎄For musical toys and books without a volume button I put tape over the speaker to dampen the sound a bit. Sometimes partial or I’ll poke a few holes into the tape.
It would be great if you could add the children's age into the title or say who you're shopping for straight away 😊
@@miriamb.8474 I did an age range in the title (2-10), but I just updated it to include each age to be more specific. Thank you for the suggestion!
I just made one of these videos and I think I do the same as you, love to look at these to get more ideas!! lol Also, I'm new to your channel so Hi 👋
@@CharlieKeep hi welcome! Thank you for checking out my video! I will have to watch yours!
Vintage items like that always make me think of lead. It might be worth testing the trays?
@@sdlfkjhsdljkwhe thank you, I will have to look at doing that.
Omg I love holly hobbie. She was a character form 70’s and early 80s.
The wood part cracked me up I loved your face. They will love it

@@adriennenelson759 thank you for sharing, I’ll have to do this if it ends up being too loud!
I love the tray ideas and the bird house ideas!

I love this. One of the more practical videos on here. ❤️
@@Healingthroughmotherhood thank you!
We used our rewards and I was able to pay for all our kids Christmas gifts plus meals and treats. The best
@@princesskaitlinhazelwood4703 that’s awesome!!
Those TV trays are so nostalgic. I had a Strawberry Shortcake one in the 80s.
@@witchinthenorth4735 oh strawberry shortcake, I love it!
🎄 some great ideas love the birdhouse they can gain some skills and special time with dad to make them then decorate very creative!
As a mom of a 10 year old boy. Thank you! They are so hard to buy for, but you have some great ideas.
I know and is it just me or are there less of these types of videos from parents with boys/older boys?
@@ashleymarie6715 older boys are so hard to buy for! I’m glad you liked the video!
Very nice like❤
Lovely gifts and great Christmas gifts video as always 🎁🌲🎀
@@helenaryan-lj5xz thank you!
Thanks for sharing how you paid for the gifts . With rewards / gift cards it’s free to you practically 😂. Smart . I’m jumping on this. For the future.
@@apriltahe you’re welcome! It’s such a great way to pay for Christmas.
Love all the gifts
🤶 🎅 🎄 Great gifts. Holly Hobby was popular in the 70s - 80s. 🤶

@@bobbyshields4810 welcome, thank you for watching! That is SO awesome!!! Which trays were you able to get?
@melesa I think a holly hobby and not sure of the others.
@ I think that’s so cool you got some at the thrift store and one was a Holly Hobbie!

Dollar General carries those metal trays (with characters) around christmas time, and Walmart carries plastic and wooden versions of them.
@@KellyWeatherholt I’ve never seen them before, that’s very cool they carry them around Christmas time!
Loved this so much 🎄
@@thebanksbunch thank you!
I had a holli hobbie dolls house when I was younger but I'm quite a bit older then you !
@@sunflower7766 oh cute! I’ll have to look up what the dollhouses looked like.
@melesa yes mine was the secret house. You unlocked a memory for me when you showed the tray 😃
@@sunflower7766 I love that!
🎅🤶Merry Christmas
