In this Christmas shopping vlog, I’m taking you right along with me while I knock out some of my 2025 holiday prep—stocking stuffers, elf boxes, and all the little things that make the season feel extra cozy without blowing the budget. I’m sharing my mindset as I shop (I’m always trying to be intentional and practical), plus ideas that work for real life with kids—things that are fun, useful, and easy to put together. We also chat about creating a hot cocoa bar, because that’s one of my favorite ways to make the house feel festive without spending a ton. I love doing simple setups that feel special—especially when you can reuse what you already have and just add a few affordable touches. And a big thank you to Merryfield for sponsoring this video—if you’re already buying groceries and “better for you” brands, it’s a super easy way to earn gift cards back, which is always a win in my book during the holidays.
