My husband played with many country and rock stars before his death in 2019. He would have loved this channel. So thanks for being here. He played with Deana, Heatherly, and rock and roll bands as well. It was an up and down life. Rags and riches. Your channel kept and keeps me in the here and now. Thanks for that. You’re a treasure.

My mom always said that if you can’t buy for all then you’re to just buy a family gift. Not sure if anyone has ever heard that before but her other saying was. If you feed one then you have to feed the whole family.

You could also use the cookie cutters like you are using the ornaments, and tie them as a decoration to your gift.

I love these. I can use this concept for Secret Sister gifts at church or the baskets we do for our widows 😊

Great ideas and don't forget that dollar general has that $1 aisle and so you may can get some items cheaper than dollar tree

I already commented but I think a bow around the twist ties would super elevate the look. Plus, my momma was a super frugal gift wrapper and she would point cut the top portion of the bag to look less bulky and more delicate. It really changed the look. Great job!

Loved this video. I like to make gift baskets of practical and cute items for Christmas. And the better you know the person who you are making it to, the better present you can put together. My mum - she has a small pension and I know she appreciates all the things I put there - her favorite coffee, hair dye she is using - those can be expensive for her to buy, so I put 2-3 packs, something red for her kitchen - she likes red dishes, a crossword of sudoku etc. And I sneak in a roll on money somewhere, hidden inside, so that will be extra surprise for her to find. She is always so happy with her present. And this gift basket is much better than to gift some unpractical item that she will not use. Just need to put in some effort and think through what the person would need and appreciate.

How nice! I love dollar trees, dollar generals, big lots, etc. So many ppl won’t shop there! There stuff is nice! Fantastic job ❤️❤️❤️

Very clever ideas from a very clever lady. Who knew you could have so many things up there in that head of yours. And you've been keeping all your time in the kitchen. Take some of that smartness girl and spread it around

These were great!! It has been a tough year so I had planned just to shop for the grandchildren but now think I’ll do this for my adult kids… at least I’ll have something under the tree for them too… also making them some of your Christmas candy too 😉🫶

That men’s basket is amazing. Great for late teens all the way up. All those suggestions would also be great for stocking stuffers. Good job Brooke! Way to help us out again!

Good ideas. I just made some gift baskets a few days ago. I used coffee lovers items. A mug, coffee, espresso beans, cocoa, truffles, a cold coffee drink, peppermint and chocolate spoons and some fuzzy sox. In the bag and tied with a ribbon they look great. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I haven't made a basket in a while. When I did make them you could shrink the plastic with a blow dryer to make them look better. I used dollar tree basket bags. Like I said I havent made a basket in a while but you could try to shrink them to see how the plastic does.

Thanks, Brooke! We can't afford much, but these are great ideas for my son in laws.

These exact products aren’t necessarily available at our Dollar Tree in Canada, but we have our version of Dollar Tree and Dollarama. I tend to look also at the Thrift store. I like to buy and wash baskets for bigger gifts at the thrift store. I also like to buy and sanitize a big mug at the thrift store and put in some marshmallows or candy canes in the cup with a jar of homemade hot chocolate mix to accompany it. We are all doing gifts on a budget. Some people’s budgets are bigger than others but nobody should ever feel ashamed of a gift they give. A gift is that: a gift. It’s not a transaction.

I have made these gifts for people at the Senior Center! Thank you and May God Bless You this year!! xoxoxo I also added "bling" diamond sticky things on the top....luv u

Those look good. On the jar, you could tie the last cookie cutter to the outside with ribbon, if you don't need one yourself.

On the truffle basket you could also buy their cute garlands and wrap it around all three jars in place of the paper shreds. Anna In Ohio

Homemade Christmas gifts 🎁 are the best gifts. I always love it when I receive a homemade Christmas gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🤶🎁

Thanks Brooke ~ been stressing over how to give something nice and thoughtful looking ,but don't have much $$$ to work with .... so thank you again ~ you are appreciated more than you know 💞

I use the glass jars to put my dried beans in and I use the smaller jars for my coffee station for my sugar and creamer.

These are awesome! I don’t care how much someone spend on me, I just care that they took the time and effort and thought to give me something for Christmas.

I think you can use your hair dryer on the plastic bags to shrink them to fit neatly around the basket.

I just love you Brooke! You are so sweet, honest and down to Earth...you are very talented! I have 5 grands and my oldest 3 I have been giving them money for Christmas for the last several years but I am going to do these! Merry Christmas to you and your family❤

❤ your face and your videos 😊 this one was a gem thank you for sharing! My son just got out of the childrenw hospital (10 days) from seizures.....this will help us save a ton😊❤❤

Well done. Love DT items and thrifting plates for Christmas cookies and vintage decor for Christmas presents. Everyone knows that about me and more times than not you can find better quality items thrifting now a days.

Hey Brooke… you did an absolutely fabulous job with these! Nice little something something for everyone. Really looks cute.

Brooke,I love the fancy gift tags that are really ornaments. Every year the people you give them to will be able to hang them on their tree and think of you. It is like 2 gifts in one. I love the idea of taking less expensive items and making them look more exclusive, as if you really put time and thought in to the gifts, which of course you did. I have seen people on really tight budgets buy mugs, and put in hot drink packs, with maybe some cookies, or biscuits if you are, like me from the UK, and add a little tree ornament as a tag. I think people love getting little gifts like that, as they see that someone wants to give them a gift, even if money is tight, and I often think a small gift, given with love, means more than getting a gift from someone that does not worry about money and just buys the first thing they see for them. I hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to the holiday season. Much love and respect from the South East of England. xxxxx

Great thought and care went into planning and creating the baskets. Anyone would be blessed to get them as a gift.

Oh my goodness! You just relieved some stress for me! Gave me some good ideas for gifts! Thank you

Very creative, fun, imaginative, and festive! Love your ideas for inexpensive gifts! Great job, Brooke!

Hey there, bestie! Great ideas there and the ribbon was the missing, perfect touch.🎄⭐🎄 You are so thoughtful, loving and full of joy. Keep being you. 100% loved.❤ Be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo

These look awesome! I know everyone in my circle of people would love them!

Great ideas. DT sells bubble glue dots. You can use to keep things in place. A couple gift ideas at DT a small ice bucket add 2 fluents and 2 gordiva chocolate bars and in certain they have non acholie different flavors drinks in champagne shape bottles. I took one of there tool container than added all male like stuff plus bought my son a small screwdriver set . I mix it in too.😊 made a hot cocoa gift set. One small jar put hot chocolate in. Another jar marshmallows. A Santa mug on top. Stack it and add ribbon. Lots of great idea. If worry because they can see stuff. You can slide in gift bag or on items style a few sheets of tissue over. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thank you for sharing, really nice Ideas for gift giving, enjoyed!

I do this every year, brook 😊 when I am working with limited income. You the best you can do, these baskets look great

Some thoughtful gifts.

I LOVE these ideas… I got my family gift idea from you last year, I made movie night gifts with a popcorn bucket, popcorn, and candy from Dollar Tree and a DVD from Amazon…the kids loved it!

Sponges & face clothes are great for puffing out or bulking up gifts & baskets..

Really great ideas! I love the clear bags that you can blow dry tight. Nice job!

I found the thing about the tissue paper out at the dollar tree yesterday. It took some searching, but I found it. Glad you pointed that out!

The socks are officially knocked off lol!!! They look great,you done amazing once again.

I love this idea 💡... great for a birthday 🎂 or mothers day ❤.

I must say you out did yourself - I really like the basket you put together for the guy - very creative - good job

Great job

I just love your creative mind Brooke! All of your baskets are great gifts anyone would love to receive and they are so pretty. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas. Have a beautiful blessed day. From Melissa in the mountains of Virginia. 🙏 ❤

Bingo prizes!!! Thank you for the ideas!

Thank you! Now I know what to bring to my church's Christmas gift exchange!

I have made many gift baskets and people love them. I do trim the excess plastic wrap and add a festive bow, it gives a more professional feel to the gift.

Love the idea of a tray with the three jars! So many different things you could do with that

Great ideas. These would also make nice baskets for teachers, bus drivers, mail carrier, ect.

I would want one. They are adorable!

I’m thinking of making these little presents, too today.

Love these creative gift ideas!!! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!

Pre-Xmas with elder & her grand daughter is cookie basket making. I'll be hitting $ tree for supplies! Thank you!

Their handlotions, shampoos, conditioners, gift jars, some of their dishes look more expensive than they really are. I have put together many a gift basket with a variety of items from the Dollar Tree.

Great Gift 🎁 Baskets 🧺 Thanks 😊 for Sharing Merry Christmas

I love these! I literally have around $20 to spend per daughter this year. I’ll definitely do a girl’s gift basket for them. And they can each pick out an item at the thrift store this weekend and that’s going to be it this year.

Love the gift ideas! Love the cheese all recipe! Love you and your sweet spirit. Keep up the good work for folks like us!

Absolutely cute gifts.

I loved every basket you made! It helps us frugal momma's out there LOL!!!! Please do more gift basket ideas in the future. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you all! 🥰☃🎄

Brooke you can tie that extra cookie cutter on the outside of the jar!❤❤❤❤

Love you Brooke! Thanks for the inspo! Needed an idea for my elderly neighbors and this is it, TY!

Btw I got some terrific gifts from dollar tree! Since men ARE so hard to buy for I found several gifts and from dollar general I found Sandalwood body wash for 5$ , brand: Every Man Jack, 13.5 ounces. Smells great!

Great baskets one thing I’ve learned this yr is is have one color theme for all baskets it makes them look more elegant

Super cute 🎁 Thank You for sharing! Anyone would be so Blessed 😇 by these thoughtful gifts!

Great job! And you’re right, they do not look like dollar store items. I especially love the one with the three jars on the tray, so cute. I have a lot of jars from the dollar store. I also love their glass candleholders and vases. The dollar store in my town is not that great. It’s old, and sometimes it has to shut down for a lot of the summer because it’s so hot and they don’t have air conditioning.

I want the teenager pink one, please. Great job, its all about presentation at this pricepoint. Adorableness.

😊 beautiful

Very nice gift baskets!

That looks great!! Very clever gifting.

Those are so cute! I like the tray with the jars. I always like to add those peppermint candies sprinkled around and always a candy cane on the front. I like to hook them on everything. I love your ideas. I hope you're enjoying the holiday season 🎄🛷❄️🦌

Brooke thank you so much for the gift basket idea! What an amazing gift! Great job and thank you again! You and most of your followers are like me where we truly appreciate the gesture and thought! I introduced my EX-MIL and SIL to Christmas Villages from Hallmark. The towns, the trains, the banks, you know the drill! They were beyond excited and loved them! The following year, I bought figurines, gazebos, pine trees, to fill in the village , they were from Dollar Tree. You get the gist! They called me the very next day to tell me that because it was from the Dollar store they wanted me to know they donated them to the Goodwill... notice I said EX! Right!!! Thank you for all you do for us! ♥

Ive learned from my crafting heat from blow dryer get thise aggravating price tag stickers offf. This was so fun too watch love it so creative. You so fun

I love all gift baskets. You did great.

brilliant ideas--nice presentation...congrats...dts/usa

Love the ornament idea!

Thank you Brook for trying to help others, I pray you all are doing well and that your new adventure in helping others. 😅

Oh I love those Snugadoo socks..I have about 10 pairs all bought at Dollar Tree! ❤

These are really awesome. I'd love to see how you would stuff a basket for a kid. 0-8ish years. We have lots of nieces/nephews/friends kids.

You reminded me that I need more tape! Thank you! These baskets are super cute.

Great ideas! All adorable!

I ❤ this kind of stuf and all you do to help us alll

Thanks Brooke! I see two cute baskets to make for my son and his wife ❤

neat ideas, i like the food ones, they are all nice and cheap. and useful. gifts we can give anytime too. to show we care for our neighbors or anyone. i think it also reminds us to care for one another cause we can rarely talk to friends and neighbors and coworkers or even relatives or strangers or homeless folks. and this gives us more of a reason to talk about what we can do to show God we want him here. by being thoughtful and kind. God loves it when we do deeds and spend our time talking about God and Gods kingdom.

Love the baskets, especially the last one. Super cute!!!!

Those sleigh ornaments from DT are my favorite but they're so hard to find where i am! If i see them its really early when they first put out the Christmas so i grab a few any time i see them! They're great for stuff like this and crafts. You were lucky to find them! ❤

Great baskets! Love this!❤

❤❤❤great ideas.

I just love you & your sweet little family . You are so smart & I have gotten the best recipe from you& I love your ideas for Christmas gifts. Have a Merry Christmas with your family.

I have been doing these types of baskets for yrs..I love them😊

I love that brand of licorice.

They all look so nice.

They look amazing Brooke!! I wouldn't mind getting one of those. ❤

Hi Brooke!!! I just enjoy watching you so much, you are such a happy person. I really liked all the gifts baskets, my favorite is the chocolate truffle tray its so cute 🥰. They are very thoughtful gifts and I'm sure all who receive them will be so happy. Merry Christmas bestie!!! ❤❤❤

This are my favorite gifts to gift!!! I just made one for school staff ,hot cocoa,tea,honey spoons , dehydrated marshmallow, sweet and salty snacks ! Then a folding storage bin filled with toys and games for the local CFS . And one for staff with disinfectant wipes grab and go snacks (usually office supplies and snacks) . I’m getting a vending machine more ideas now !!! Also a teacher idea is class survival basket .hand sanitizer, airborne, mini tissues mints or hard candies, water bottle and maybe a small gift card 😊

Well done Brooke. They all look fabulous 👍🙏

If you find and buy clearanced Christmas ornaments at the DT now and use for Christmas 2024, you save even more money. Pick up items throughout the year kind of like how Brooke sets aside $5 a week for pantry stock up. If you can afford to do that, you'll be set with all sorts of neat gift basket goodies by December. 😊 I found rolls of Hallmark wrappings at the DT for .50 cents a roll after Christmas and stocked up. 🎉

Great ideas, Brooke!

Great ideas, thanks for sharing
