      A friend gave me a letter once, around 8 years ago. No special occasion, but it was a hard time for me even several years after my dad passed. It was something he simply decided to give to people that he really valued. Absolutely nothing fancy about it, he used black paper to make the envelope and some random paper for the letter. No special lettering. But it was heartfelt. Not long or particularly poetic. To this day it is one of the gifts that has meant the most to me. Just thinking of it is comforting

    I stumbled across your channel about 6 months ago and have stuck with you ever since. I enjoy hanging out with you. You don't know me and we will never meet, but you make me feel at home at your apartment, and as a passenger in your car, like we have been friends forever. Keep doing what you're doing. You could be reading the phone book for 20 minutes and you'd make that fun and interesting. Never change, and Merry Christmas 🎄

    Happy holidays Caroline!! Your channel has definitely been one of the best finds this year. 💛 Obsessed with The Tartan Blanket Co., they also have the most amazing pet blankets and baby blankets to gift to babies of all kinds.

    I watched the first video I found of you randomly the one thing I immediately thought was she’s very talented, she is going places. Please don’t lose yourself in the process, you are a breath of fresh air. Now i am binge watching.

    The past several days I've been a sentimental wreck, in the Greatest way possible. When you talked about Emotional Gifts/Experiences, the Tears were flowing 😭 One of my son's gifts is extremely Special for him, together with a framed handwritten poem by me. The Tears will be Flowing 🌟 Also, I can attest with Caroline, the Tartan Throws - they are Everything & More!! You'll fall in love with the entire website!! Wishing You and Your Fabulous Family the Merriest of Christmas & Happy New Year! Cheers to You, Caroline 🥂

    Caroline, GIRL! Was on my way out the door to START Christmas shopping. Now less stressed. Great ideas. Just ordered some of them for family and friends. Some random gifts, a few questionable gifts, a quality time gift ready to go. Stocking stuffers done! I also purchased the Chameleon Game, sounds like fun. Will definely give the group hug. We need it now. THANKS SOOO MUCH. YOU'RE AWESOME!

    Merry Christmas! The best gift is time with someone. For my 79 yr old mother this year I bought her velvet hangers and we are going to redo her closets together and hopefully declutter them too. She's one of those women who changes her shoes and purses with every outfit... I've never understood it, LOL! Thanks for all of your great ideas!

  • @jodiblackman7838

    I second the heartfelt letter. My husband and I have been together since we were young teens and had a period of long distance relationship and a few military deployments. I treasure the letters he sent me then and I asked him to pen me one for Christmas this year ❤

  • @lynnnadeau7162
    @lynnnadeau7162 Před rokem

    Great ideas! The letter is the best! I do remember when my Aunt said she loved reading my card and she was so appreciative. The experience is also great because we just don’t spend enough time with those that we love. Thanks Caroline! We sometimes forget and need these reminders.

    I swear one of the best presents I’ve ever gotten were these super cheap ornaments with pictures of my dogs my friends printed out - still put them up every year!

    • @E42545
      @E42545 Před rokem

      This! I feel like gift giving isn’t hard other than the societal pressure for big flashy things (or if someone just sucks and hates everything always lol)- literally just pay attention to what the people you love care about and enjoy

    • @Caroline_Winkler
      @Caroline_Winkler  Před rokem

      that is such a good gift. is it like an individual ornament per dog portrait?

    Etsy is also a great place to find inexpensive artwork you can give as gifts; however, if time is of the essence, make sure the artist is based in your country because it can take a while for a painting to make its way from Europe to the USA.

Love the idea of writing a letter and expressing your love to someone you care about, love the idea of an event to spend time with a parent or friend, love getting a game to play together.

    I just wanted to let you know that I adore your content. Although I started coming here for interior design tips, your authenticity and sense of humor are what keep me coming back for every video, regardless of the topic. Like, when you referred to gifts that don't need wrapping as "raw dogging," I started laughing so hard that I nearly spit out my drink! On a side note, the gift ideas were great too... Anyway, have a wonderful holiday!

    • @Caroline_Winkler

    Re: A little bit hurtful gifts. My dad hates mint and he has hated mint my entire life, and I knew this. My immediate family knew this. The extended family somehow did not. This came out one year around Easter, and all of his gifts from the extended family (and some of the immediate family) that Christmas were mint-themed. It was glorious.

    • @jeas4980

      That's perfect. I got my Mother a small bean bag frog as a child (I'm now pushing 50) and she raved about it... it's so cute, how thoughtful... etc. etc... so every year since then for every birthday, mother's day, Christmas... every gift giving occasion she has recieved some sort of frog related gift. This has been going on now for well over 30 years. She hates it... and I know this but she won't tell me out right. Now, she has begun re-gifting me back onr frog item at a time. It's a game... we laugh about it... our family enjoys the "what rediculous frog item did she find this time" aspect of this game. They send me suggestions. It is so much fun.
