Hi YT fam!!!! In today’s video I showcase what I bought myself for Christmas and items I have purchased over the last 6 months. I took advantage of a lot of the sales that took place during Black Friday. I hope you enjoy!
Hi guys and welcome back to my channel.
If you are new, welcome.
My name is Hannah and in today's video we are doing a what I bought myself for Christmas
slash home decor haul, so if this is something you are interested in watching, just keep
on watching.
Alright, I'm going to be real with you guys, those Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales,
they got me.
They got to me and so in today's video, this is going to be a what I bought myself for
Christmas haul of all home decor items slash normal haul because it has been quite some
time since I've shared some new pieces with you guys, so I figure we're just going to
kind of put it all into one video and hopefully you guys enjoy these type of videos.
I really like watching them.
A lot of social media platforms don't showcase like home decor.
It's usually like fine jewelry, luxury hauls, that type of thing, so I personally love watching
hauls to see what people are getting.
If I can link things, they will be down below the description box.
Some of these items are one of a kind, so I'm unable to link them, but hopefully you
guys enjoy.
Let's get into it.
Alright, starting with the first item, we're going to start with all of the marble pieces
because when I'm looking at my decor that I purchase, there's kind of like a reoccurring
pattern and that is marble, so I picked up some really fun marble Viola coasters from
Amber Interiors.
These are in a wonderful honed finish, so one thing I love about honed is they're not
glossy.
These are kind of in a matte texture.
I also really enjoy marble because they're all going to be just a little bit different
from one another based on their pattern, so this does come in a set of four.
I believe this was about $90 on sale during her Black Friday.
I know it's a little bit of an investment, but with some of these pieces that you guys
will see in today's video, I'm not changing them all the time.
I feel like sometimes with Target and cheaper items, people are more likely to pop them
up on Facebook Marketplace because there's not really a lot of money that was invested
in each of those items, but when you are spending $100 on sale for coasters, you bet
your ass I'm going to be holding onto these for a lifetime, so that's the first item.
Second item is from a seller on Etsy.
We're still sticking with the marble theme.
This is, again, a marble Viola.
This is very popular right now and I find myself gravitating towards this particular
stone because of the warmth.
I'm really trying to steer away from that really contrasting black and white and trying
to go towards something that is a little bit softer of a stone while still having that
really fun depth and veinage.
This again was from Etsy.
This is from a private seller.
This is considered a cheese board.
You could use this for hosting purposes, but I also love this for styling.
You could layer this with multiple types of cutting boards, whether that's rustic or whatever
your style might be, and it's a really, really beautiful piece of item to add to your collection,
so that's the next item is from the Lifestyle Co., and I got this really beautiful glass
cloche.
The glass portion is in a smoked olive green color, and then the base of it is actually
a really fun neutral marble.
Now this is really fun for styling candles.
You're obviously not going to be able to have a lit candle within this cloche, but when
your candle is not burning, this makes for a really great decorative piece.
Have your candle in there, the cloche on top, and it's just kind of a finisher to any style.
You guys will recognize this from my front entryway style, and I think it's just really
fun and different from the normal, typical glass cloche.
This has a really fun coloring to it.
I think the ones that are now available on the Lifestyle Co. are a little bit different.
I think the base is more of that viola marble that we are seeing more of, but this was the
next item that I snagged for myself.
You guys are going to be hearing the crows in the background.
All the birds are super happy today for some reason, so if you hear them, I apologize.
I have a window open, and they're just really going at it, but the next item I got is from
Mackenzie Childs.
If you guys would have caught my video last year, I kind of splurged and bought myself
some new mixing bowls by her line, and this was in the mocha check.
So I was hosting this Christmas and decided to pick myself up a serving dish.
So this is really great because I love not only the low profile of this, the size, so
I ended up doing a bowl in the center and then had all the veggies for Christmas, and
I'm just kind of slowly adding to my collection.
I'm not going to go crazy with this pattern because obviously it is very bold, but these
are an investment.
This was about $100, and I just, I think, I don't know, it's just sometimes the little
things in life, like when I bring out my mixing bowls, it just, I don't know, makes me happy.
So sometimes those items are worth the splurge if it brings you joy, and her line of the
mocha check definitely does that for me.
So this was good.
All right, the next item, I haven't really talked much about these items on my channel,
but I last year did a video on if I felt like the Lola blankets, which you guys probably
have seen from other influencers, other content creators, I did a video on if I thought it
was worth the hype or not.
The price point is absolutely ridiculous for a blanket.
I'm not going to even lie about that.
Even if I did have the money, I don't think I would ever pay full price, but I wanted
to do a comparison on if I thought these blankets were worth the price tag, and if you have
no idea what I'm talking about, Lola is a independent family-owned business, but their
blankets run about $300 a piece.
So for that video, I actually did buy myself a blanket.
I purchased it through someone else's affiliate code to get a little bit of a discount, but
it is a great blanket.
I will give them that.
It is incredibly soft.
It is weighted, so if you love kind of that coziness, this blanket is absolutely amazing,
but I definitely do not feel that it is worth it at the price tag that it's at, so I will
only buy them if they are on sale, which brings this whole long story to an end.
I purchased myself another Lola blanket during their Black Friday sale when they were 55%
off.
So this is currently in my bedroom.
I got it in this incredible chocolate brown color.
It is so cozy.
It is so soft.
And I only recommend these blankets if you can get some sort of discount.
That is the only time I will recommend them because, like I said, they're an investment.
But I was also really scared about would it lose its softness when I washed it because
obviously you buy it for the coziness of it.
I'm happy to report that I have washed my blankets and they are still incredibly soft.
You just need to make sure that you follow the instructions on the pamphlet when you
do get your blanket in the mail.
As long as you follow the directions, I feel like you're going to be totally fine.
But Lola blanket in the chocolate brown color was the next item that I got for myself this
Christmas.
Alright, so this next item is going to be kind of challenging to record because it is
lit.
This is a candle.
Now, this company has been like haunting my Facebook ad list.
I saw it all over the internet and then I went up to see my girlfriend not too long
ago during the holidays and she had these candles and I'm like, okay, is it worth the
price tag because these are an investment and you guys will see why.
And so I bit the bullet during the holidays, took advantage of some of their sales and
it's a really great candle.
Now this is by the company Big Ass Candle and you guys will see why.
This is a 10 pound, 500 hour burn time candle.
If you are a candle junkie, if you love burning candles, this would be definitely a candle
that you would enjoy because you're obviously getting a lot of bang for your buck here.
Now I ended up getting it in their balsam fir, like their winter scent, which smells
absolutely amazing.
You guys can obviously see how much I've burned and I've really enjoyed it.
Now one thing cool about this company, which this is not sponsored, they're not paying
me to say this to you guys, you do save money when you subscribe.
So I did just subscribe recently to see if I like some of the other scents.
You can cancel your subscription at any time.
You do save about 50 bucks subscribing, so it takes the candle down to about $138.
Again though, this is like how many candles in one candle.
The other thing I want to say about this candle, if you guys are planning on maybe treating
yourself to one as well, you have to burn this candle for a long time.
Just like any other candle, you can't burn it for 30 minutes and then blow it out.
That's when you're going to get those holes, you're going to get a very uneven burn.
And so if you're wanting that longevity, if you're wanting to get most bang for your buck
with this candle, you need to have it burn all the way across the top before you blow
it out.
So I knew when I bought this candle, when I would light it, I would usually light it
in the day if I knew I was going to be home, I would let it burn all day through the night.
I would never burn it with only it being burned for about an hour because then it would be
uneven.
So that's how I've been able to kind of have a really clean burn all the way down.
And again, if you're wanting to maybe treat yourself, try it out.
I have their Sparkling Paloma coming, so I will kind of keep you guys posted on some
of the scents, which is one more thing with the subscription.
You can not only cancel at any time, but you can change your scent.
So if you want a reoccurring scent to come every three months, you can, or if you want
to change it and do something of their other scents, you can do that as well.
So the next item I purchased myself, big ass candle, love it.
All right, another item I snagged for myself from the Lifestyle Co. is this really cute
little trinket box.
Love the coloring and you guys know I really enjoy floral pattern.
I thought this was kind of unique and different.
It's kind of got like a gold underlay with like a kind of olive green floral pattern.
Trinket boxes are great, especially for hiding cords, anything you don't want out, but then
it also acts for a really fun little decorative item.
I would not suggest this box on like a really big table because it will definitely get eaten
alive.
So maybe for a nightstand or something that has a little bit of a smaller surface, this
box is really great and unique.
So that is the next item is the Lifestyle Co. trinket box.
Okay, I don't know what it is with the Facebook ads, but they're getting me you guys.
This also came up on an ad.
This is by the company Blossom and it is a USB rechargeable lamp.
First off, can we talk about how cute it is?
It's just like a little nugget.
It's so cute.
And one thing cool about this lamp, it has three different settings.
You have like not very bright, medium bright, and then as bright as it goes.
Again, this is a USB rechargeable lamp there.
So if you have a small space, this would be perfect.
I got this for my open shelving to bring a little bit of light just because when you're
coming into our bedroom at night, it's really dark.
Just that whole area stays super dark.
So I don't have a plug there.
And so I found this came up on my ads and like, whatever, add the card.
So this is another little item I added to myself for my collection for Christmas time.
And so yeah, this is by the company Blossom Lamps.
All right, we're getting there you guys.
Next item is from the Lifestyle Co.
They really got me this year.
They just know my style.
This is a really fun horse kind of on a stand sculpture.
You guys know I love my horses.
And this year is the year of the horse.
It could not be any more appropriate for me.
Not only for everything that I've gone through this past year, it means really good things
for 2026.
Make sure to look it up if that's something you're into.
Year of the horse, but I love anything equestrian.
I did sell this in my open shelving and I just, it's lightweight, it's slim.
So if you are into this type of stuff, this again is from the Lifestyle Co.
Okay, while we are talking about horses, I came across this item in one of my favorite
places to shop in Arizona when we were on vacation.
It is one of a kind.
I cannot link this at all.
You can attempt to try to call the business, which is the Potato Barn in Scottsdale, Arizona.
This is so freaking cool.
This is a piece of wood, raw wood with a horse carved in it.
You guys can obviously tell the size of this, but is this not the coolest piece?
I mean, the woodworking, the detail.
What a talented person that can do this type of stuff.
It does have the hang there for mounting, but I saw this.
It did come in lots of larger sizes.
It did have multiple horses, smaller pieces.
I mean, obviously these are all one of a kind items, but I saw this and I'm like, I have
to have that.
That is just so, so cool and so appropriate again for me just loving horses and it being
the year of the horse.
So this was the next.
All right, the next item is another one of a kind piece from another amazing place in
Arizona.
I've just got all my little hidden gems when we go out there.
Unfortunately, this place shut down.
They shut their doors.
It was called Antiquities Warehouse and you guys will recognize this from my decorate
with me limestone stamp.
Clearly it's incredibly heavy.
These stamps were used for printing.
So this is what it looks like.
It looks like a piece of paper, but it's actually a thick piece of limestone.
And on the top of it is in cursive writing.
And when I was at Antiquities Warehouse, they had probably 150 of these guys.
I'll try to make sure to insert a photo and every single one of the tops were different.
It was just so fun to try to pick out one.
They all looked different.
Some of them had images, some of them had different lettering, but they were so cool
and unique.
And obviously I've just been styling this on my coffee table, kind of using it as like
its own riser.
And it's just super cool.
I love unique pieces like this.
So limestone stamp, if you ever come across it in an antique store, that is one thing
to be on the hunt for.
But that's the next item I purchased for myself.
All right, you guys made it to the very last item.
This is a small furniture piece.
I snagged this really fun spindle stool from all of Atelier.
I think the detailing of the legs is just so fun.
I don't have anything like this in my home.
I do really love the darker wood.
Most of the stools that I have are kind of that natural reclaimed untreated wood, whereas
this one is obviously been treated and it's a little bit of a darker walnut color.
This guy was about $185 and it's just really cool.
These are all one-of-a-kind pieces.
I know some Etsy sellers have something similar, but all of Atelier was where I got that stool
from.
And yeah, you guys, that is it.
All right, you guys, and that is it for today's video.
I hope you enjoyed this home decor haul slash what I purchased for myself for Christmas
time.
I definitely feel like it is okay to treat yourself.
If you see things that you like and you want it, why not?
Life is so short, so enjoy the ride while you can.
And I'm glad to bring this to you guys.
Hopefully you guys can see that I gravitate towards things that are not only one-of-a-kind
sometimes, but things that I know that are going to be with me for a while.
I don't like the fast decor anymore.
I think those things are going to be what we see clearly on Facebook marketplace and
people constantly selling it.
So when you are buying home decor, make sure that you are thinking longevity and purchase
things that are going to stand the test of time.
But until the next video, I love you guys so much.
Thank you for being here and we'll see you guys soon.
Peace.
