Hey friends! Added lots of chapters so you can find what's most relevant to you!!

Conscious gifting is a thing!! What if we all thought more about contentment instead of consumption? When I make, thrift, or buy a gift for someone, the first thing I do is to ask myself, “What makes this person content or happy?” This steers me in the right direction to finding or making a gift that suits them as well as my values. Contentment over consumption. PS - I just gifted my SIL some home-baked bagels and a jar of jam for her birthday. (I used your bagel recipe, Immy). She texted me later in the day to say how delicious the bagels were and how they were the perfect gift for her. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us, Immy. Everything you do is so very much appreciated!! Ⓜary🩵🥯

Sustainable Vlogmas- Doing the amount of vlogmas that works for you instead of feeling bad about not doing it perfectly.

I'm just now watching this video in May, and I love all of your gifting ideas! I'll be watching this one again, and I hope to see another installment in about another 6 months. Thank you!

I love you, Immy, and the incredible work you bring into the world. I wish more people—especially those committed to sustainability—would resist the pressure to release gift guide videos at this time of year, which often still focus on buying new things, regardless of a brand’s sustainability claims.

It would be so refreshing to reimagine and decouple the holiday season from the corporate mandates that have hijacked it, turning it into a frenzy of buying, buying, buying. What if we all opted out of giving and receiving gifts altogether? What if, instead, the holidays became a time rooted in community, love, and meaningful ways to give back—completely detached from products? What could this season look like if we reclaimed it for connection and care?

Have to second the LeafShave suggestion - I've been using mine for years and when my original razor broke, I reached out to the company to buy a replacement (or repair) and they just sent me a whole new one at no cost. Absolutely wonderful product and service

Your makeup and hair look amazing in this, and that colour of jumper suits you so well! Thanks for all the recommendations, much appreciated <3

As a fiber artist, I want to send a word of warning about handmade goods! Giftees may start to feel a little entitled to your craft each year. Not saying don't ever make something for people, but be cautious of whether the person you want to gift for is worth it. Know your worth!

I was inspired to start knitting because of your videos, and I'm loving it. Thank you😊

Marshmallows are surprisingly easy to make; people who don't cook or bake extensively are especially impressed. Pair it with homemade hot chocolate mix (in a complementary flavor to the marshmallows) and you're set

The song artwork is soo unique! Love that gift suggestion!

I listened to this video while making my sister a craft gift for Christmas.

[katarina]

I don't like gifts because I don't need much, but I love my scarf that my mum made 😍
Every year for Christmas my mil gives me a present that I don't really like, she buys from the brands that are not sustainable and to be honest she buys stuff that I don't need or even like, so this year I decided to tell her that I don't want any gifts and that I appreciate that she wants to buy me something, but is not necessary.
