What I Got My Kids For Christmas - Jolly Basket | Brr 🎄☃️

What's up my loves? It's your girl Rachel and today I'm here to show you everything I got my kids for Christmas Jolly Basket Edition. Now usually the Jolly Baskets slash December 1st baskets slash Burr Baskets all come the 1st of December but your girl does her own thing. I like to give my kids some of their things during Thanksgiving break so we can all enjoy it together as a family but then also on December 1st they get like specific things and the elf sometimes will bring things here and there. Now this season I did not overspend. I actually kept it pretty It's pretty minimal and I budgeted Okay. I budgeted really well I think. I also didn't shop all year round like I did in the past mainly because I did downsize so I wasn't trying to do too much and bring too much in my home. So I was more intentional than I've ever been. So with that being said let's get into everything. For the first time y'all your girl got the kids advent calendars that were not chocolate themed. I love to get my kids chocolates because they're edible, they disappear, and I'll have little knickknacks all through my house. But they already had such a big Halloween and because I scored so great on the On the advent, I said, why not? So let's get into it. My eldest is getting a Minecraft advent calendar. This was actually the most expensive thing because it did not go on sale. This was in the 30s. So I think I paid, oh my gosh. I think it was originally in the 30s and I think I did get it on sale, but it was like 25, 26. So not too bad, but still pretty high for me. He is a really big. Minecraft player so I would not recommend this for those who just like the characters but don't actually play the game because in this you get 24 days worth of Minecraft books and you can build in the game so this tells you what you can build within it so he already has his whole world and I thought why not make it a little more festive so I know he's gonna freak out over this. My youngest son and I show this in his birthday haul is getting a dinosaur advent calendar but they are all blocks. All together there's 660. The blocks aren't too much day to day so he's gonna have so much fun and he's a really good Lego builder. He's actually currently building like his fifth set because he got a few for his birthday and he's like building them back to back so I know he's gonna love this and look forward to a Lego each day. This was eight dollars on sale and it's It's still on sale, it keeps fluctuating, so that's pretty good. And then my daughter's into the whole slime thing, the whole squishy thing. So I did get her a slime advent. My husband's going to be upset. I'm not going to lie. He does not like the slime. I could tolerate it if it's in designated spaces, but I have to make sure I'm on top of her because she loves a good slime. But she's going to have 24 days worth of unboxing some good things and she's going to freak out. I did pick this up. Oh my gosh, I don't even remember when, maybe in October or September, I think. And this was like eight or nine bucks also. So I didn't spend too much on the advent calendars aside from the Minecraft one. And then for my daughter, I went to a garage sale with my husband. I love garage sales, y'all. I love garage sales. They're like every Saturday in my area, but this woman was giving away most of her children's clothes and this was $1. It's a Grinch onesie from Justice. Literally $1 with a hoodie and I am so excited for her to get this. I'm going to give this to her on Thanksgiving break so she can enjoy it, you know. And just have fun with that. And then my eldest son, I bought this for him, oh my gosh, so long ago. I think during the summer months. It was $1. It's literally game controllers. Going up into a Christmas tree shape. On the sides it says to be gaming and y'all again one dollar but this was from the thrift store. So I gotta go to the thrift store and see if I can find something for my young kids because I want everybody to match. So I'm gonna see if I can get them if not a shirt a pajama or sweater something. Also for Thanksgiving break my kids are going to be gifted some hot cocoa items. So I got them these a while back. They're gingerbread cookies. clear tumblers. They were from Dollar General for $1. So check out your Dollar General. I love how wide the straw is and my kids are going to have so much fun and I love that they're going to have designated hot cocoa cups. I'm just going to write their name on the bottom so we have no mix-up but my kids love hot chocolate. They only drink it in November and December. It just makes It makes it more magical that way, so I gotta buy the hot cocoa, but... I did get the mallow hot cocoa toppers. These were also from Dollar General and they're $1 for all three of these little marshmallows. I didn't get the hot chocolate yet. I'm gonna get them the hot cocoa balls but during the season I'm probably gonna like pick up more. It's just for display during Christmas break. I'm just gonna buy the balls because it's a little more fun. And then from Dollar General, I only got one of these mystery Christmas blocks. And I don't know why I only got one. My intention, I was thinking about my youngest son because he's the most obsessed with Lego. But then I'm like, I'm going to get my older two kids them because they also love Lego. And what's so fun is they're mystery. So you don't know who you're going to get. It could be a snowman, a Santa, or an elf. So I'll probably get those today at the... Dollar General these I got for $2.99 they are Nerf guns but y'all they are Christmas themed look at the little uh wreath how cute is that it even has a gift tag so you know it makes a fun gift like I said $2.99 a piece as soon as I bought it the price went right back up to $5.99 But I'm pretty sure around Black Friday, if you're wanting this, they'll go back to a regular price. This is going to be for Christmas break. I mean, Thanksgiving break, sorry. Just because we're going to go down and see family. They have huge yards. So I'm thinking this will be fun to just like have a Nerf gun type of thing going on in the backyard and then also for Thanksgiving break they're going to be getting the scented fun dough. They've actually been asking for this for quite a minute so I've been like just hold on. Y'all they love the play-doh but it all dried out. This isn't much but I'll probably pick up more. I just like that this one was themed and so you know it has like all the little prints on the lid so they're going to have so much fun with that. I got these straws which will be given to them along with the advent calendars on December 1st. These are from Dollar Tree. And then this will be given to them during Thanksgiving break. As you can see I already decorated so I want them to also decorate their windows. But I only have one and that's because this was from last year. I forgot to gift it to them. So I got to get another one so that all the kids could have them on their window. This is going to be given to them by the elf like one of the days and it's literally an elf on the shelf memory game and this was $1.25 from the dollar tree. We love playing the memory games. We have an Easter one that we love but y'all I love themes so we're gonna have so much fun with this especially my youngest because he's the most into the Christmas right now. My eldest too y'all you know what they told me they were like Christmas came too fast, it came too fast, and for a good minute, they literally had nothing they wanted on their list, aside from their big gift. And it's gonna be a family gift, but we'll talk about that in another video. And then I think this is last, actually. It's 165 Christmas jokes for kids, and I got this from the thrift store, I think in July. So it was 50 cents, I don't know if I said that. But the jokes are a mixture of millennial jokes and then Gen Z jokes. One of them mentions Drake. And I'm like, my kids do not know about Drake, y'all. All they know right now is like streamers, well, not even streamers, oh my gosh, like YouTubers is kind of what they know. Some of these jokes, I was looking and I was like, I don't know if they'll get it, but I can explain it to them. But then some of them, like I said, it's cute. Oh, here's the Drake joke. How is Drake like an elf? Because he spends all his time rapping. I get it, I get it, because I know Drake. They don't, so that's going to be fun. But anyway, for 50... For 50 cents, I thought, why not? They're gonna have so much fun with this. That was everything, y'all. Like I said, all I have to buy is the hot cocoa and then a Christmas-themed piece of clothing for my youngest, which I'm going to go to a thrift or a garage sale. And that's it. I kept it pretty minimal. It's normal. Their big gift this year is going to be massive, so I'm actually keeping their individual gifts, not too much. Usually I do like 20 per kid because your girl's not wrapped too tight. But I'm keeping it minimal this year, and I'm going to do... I think about 7 to 10 because their big gift, like I said, is pretty good. So I'll see you guys in the next one, y'all. Make sure to check out Dollar General. They have some really good things for $1. And I'll see you in the next Christmas gift guide. Let me know what was your favorite. Bye-bye.
