Classically Abby - The Classic Girl's GIFT Guide For 2021 ⧸⧸ Plus, Conservative Gift Ideas!

00:00:00.000 hello classic crew and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about

00:00:04.240 the classic girl's guide to gifts for 2021.

00:00:13.280 before we get into today's video make sure you're subscribed to my channel so you can continue to

00:00:17.120 get all of my content where we talk about classic living and traditional values and hit that

00:00:22.480 notification bell so you can get notified of all my new videos but today we're going to be talking

00:00:27.520 about my gift guide so i know i cut it a little bit close to the holidays but most of the things

00:00:33.120 that i'm talking about today you can get on a pretty short timeline so it shouldn't make too

00:00:37.840 much of a difference when you are shopping for them for family and friends and this is the best

00:00:43.360 time of year so we already finished hanukkah hanukkah was beautiful if you missed it i did the

00:00:48.480 festival of bites here on my channel where i did a different recipe for every day of hanukkah but for

00:00:54.320 all of my christian followers and christian friends it is christmas season and that means

00:00:59.280 that it is a time of giving it's a time of generosity and it's a time of thinking of things

00:01:04.480 that you can give to people that they'll feel really good about and will make them feel loved

00:01:09.040 so i'm really excited to share some ideas for gifts that you can give to your friends and family

00:01:15.040 i absolutely love getting gifts for people i like listening all year long and hearing kind of when

00:01:21.040 people mention oh i wish i had this or i wish i had that i love to write it down and think about

00:01:26.000 okay what can i get them i will say that because we don't really live close to family it's a little

00:01:31.600 bit difficult to do that because i don't hear them talk about what they want on an everyday basis and

00:01:38.400 when you're married let me know your thoughts in the comments if you are also married it's hard to

00:01:43.280 buy gifts for each other because your spouse can generally buy what they need for themselves but

00:01:48.640 obviously it's always good to keep an ear out for that thing that you both agree is over budget

00:01:53.120 and maybe you can splurge a little bit closer to the holidays so i'm really excited to share these

00:01:57.680 gift ideas with you i don't think that they're super common a few of them are going to be common in

00:02:03.280 practice but like the specific brand you might not know about so i'm looking forward to sharing

00:02:09.280 these ideas with you let me know in the comments what are your favorite gift ideas i love hearing what

00:02:14.560 people think what's the best gift you've ever gotten it's always really fun to see what other

00:02:19.120 people have given and want this year so it's a really good place for us to get a conversation

00:02:24.080 started in the comments so make sure to leave it down below and now let's get into today's video so

00:02:29.920 the first thing i think would make a fantastic gift is a subscription to my substack newsletter now

00:02:36.080 i've mentioned this on my channel in every video just recommending that you guys check it out but i

00:02:40.400 wanted to actually explain what my substack newsletter is and all of the awesome exclusive

00:02:45.680 content that you can get if you subscribe so my substack newsletter is a place for you guys to

00:02:51.280 support my content and my channel it's very difficult for conservative creators to make money through

00:02:57.120 youtube youtube is not a hugely pro free speech platform so a place like substack allows me to continue

00:03:03.920 to make videos on youtube while also giving you the added bonus of a ton of exclusive content

00:03:10.160 that you can't get anywhere else so when you become a premium subscriber of the classically abby

00:03:14.800 newsletter you will get two emails a week and each one has unique and distinct content the first is my

00:03:22.160 exclusive weekly article which is only published on my substack it is not available anywhere else and

00:03:28.320 i talk about a lot of different things in my weekly articles if you go to classicallyabby.substack.com

00:03:34.080 you will be able to see the titles and the first couple paragraphs of those exclusive articles that you

00:03:39.120 can't get access to without being a premium subscriber as well you'll also get access to my

00:03:44.000 exclusive podcast so i have a podcast that comes out three times a month often my husband jacob will

00:03:50.400 join me and we're talking about my world view and perspective on a ton of different topics and i can

00:03:57.360 talk a little bit more openly on my podcast than i do on my channel i also do monthly live stream q a's

00:04:03.520 here on my channel and the only questions that i respond to are those from my premium substack

00:04:09.200 subscribers so if you want to communicate with me and ask questions then you definitely would want

00:04:14.800 to subscribe for that and the last thing that you will get access to as a premium subscriber of my

00:04:19.840 substack is my book club i love my book club we've already read persuasion and a book called cheap sex

00:04:26.640 which was fantastic this month we are reading a christmas carol and that book club discussion is actually

00:04:32.400 going to be on this wednesday so if you are interested in being part of that discussion

00:04:37.600 you should definitely give this as a gift or subscribe yourself our book club discussions are

00:04:43.280 really wonderful they're really insightful i get to talk directly to you we are having a real

00:04:48.480 conversation in the comments i am responding directly to you and it's just a really awesome time

00:04:55.120 and we're reading really good books so if you are interested in purchasing this for someone or for

00:04:59.360 yourself it's only seven dollars a month or you can buy it for the entire year for seventy dollars

00:05:04.960 which means you get two months for free so if you want to support my channel and give a great gift

00:05:09.920 this season that is my first recommendation gift idea number two is a network subscription so i don't

00:05:16.480 know about you but there are a ton of different networks now that you can subscribe to hbo max stars

00:05:23.760 peacock apple tv i mean there's like a million and if you were to subscribe to every single one it would

00:05:30.000 be crazy expensive i mean it would be as expensive as paying for cable so if there is a specific

00:05:36.320 platform that you know someone wants maybe peacock because they love the office or hbo max because they

00:05:42.720 want to watch some of these new movies that come out then consider getting that as a gift for someone

00:05:47.920 so that they have access to it for the whole year and i think that that would be just like a really

00:05:51.760 thoughtful gift because people sometimes feel self-conscious about purchasing more than one

00:05:57.040 platform package and if you gift that to someone then they will feel really thought of and loved and

00:06:02.800 you know the content that they like to watch i know i've heard a lot of great things about ted lasso

00:06:07.840 which is on apple tv that is a network subscription that we don't have maybe if someone has been wanting

00:06:12.880 to watch that show then you could purchase their subscription to apple tv for example i think that

00:06:18.000 would just make a really nice and thoughtful gift so that is gift idea number two gift idea number

00:06:23.520 three is an amazing comfy pair of slippers i think i talk about this probably every year in every gift

00:06:30.160 guide but slippers are just that little luxury that makes life so much better target has some great

00:06:36.960 options the pair that i wear every day are from target they are very comfortable i also just recently

00:06:42.480 was at target and saw another pair that don't look as comfortable but are so cute and i'm thinking

00:06:48.880 maybe i want a pair so that i can switch between kind of like the cozy comfy slippers that i just wear

00:06:55.280 when i want to be comfortable and then these much cuter slippers that are still warm but like adorable i

00:07:02.080 just maybe i will ask jacob to buy them for me just as a gift not for christmas because we don't celebrate

00:07:07.200 but just as a gift um those are really cute and so having a nice pair of slippers choosing a nice pair

00:07:12.800 of slippers for your spouse would just be like a really nice present even getting a pair for your

00:07:17.680 mom or your dad because there's something so nice about waking up in the morning and putting on a nice

00:07:22.800 comfy pair of shoes to walk around the house next up i want to give a big thank you to heroes of liberty

00:07:28.560 for sponsoring this portion of today's video so heroes of liberty publishes these amazing children's books

00:07:35.680 they sent them to me i am so impressed i can't wait to share these with our little boy when he's

00:07:42.160 born oh my gosh they are amazing basically what their goal is is american values one story at a time

00:07:50.880 so they write books that we don't often get to see for our children that are about conservative

00:07:57.360 heroes which is awesome so we have thomas soul ronald reagan and amy coney barrett and the way that

00:08:04.160 these are laid out is absolutely beautiful there's different art for every book which i love i love

00:08:08.960 that they're unique for every art so this is probably one of my favorite art styles it's like a little

00:08:13.600 bit more a little bit more kind of oil pastel or oil painting in style and the thing about this is

00:08:21.840 that this is a really in-depth children's book so you could like read two or three pages a night

00:08:27.440 and make it into like a project which i think is really cool as well on the back here you get these

00:08:32.880 interesting facts about each person and i just think this is such a beautiful gift for the holidays

00:08:38.800 for your kiddos they would learn a lot and you'd feel good about what you were sharing and teaching

00:08:43.600 with them so i think these are an amazing gift so excited that heroes of liberty reached out to me to

00:08:50.240 work together i just can't wait to have these in our collection and to teach our boy our future

00:08:56.080 children as well all about these american heroes and if you were curious everything will be linked in

00:09:01.680 the description box below so that you guys can go ahead and choose some of these for yourself thank

00:09:07.440 you again to heroes of liberty for sponsoring this portion of today's video my fifth gift recommendation

00:09:13.280 is the live action merchandise that is on their website live action is a pro-life non-profit

00:09:19.200 organization that is there to educate and defend the rights of the unborn it's an amazing organization

00:09:25.600 i've worked with them before i'm not working with them today but they are just fantastic and they

00:09:30.560 have some really cool t-shirts that i think would make really good gifts for you and your pro-life

00:09:34.720 family and friends i just think that they're really cool they're well designed and you're donating to

00:09:40.640 an organization that we all love and respect their mission so that's fantastic so i definitely would

00:09:45.520 recommend checking out the t-shirts and merchandise on their website i think those would make really

00:09:49.600 good stocking stuffers and you're supporting a good cause which is always fantastic next up is a gift card

00:09:56.160 to the grocery store or to tj maxx or target so let me explain jacob my husband loves going to the

00:10:05.360 grocery store and always wants to buy interesting things things that really we shouldn't be spending

00:10:11.600 too much money on but he wants to try so i thought it would be a fun idea if you have a spouse like this

00:10:18.240 who is adventurous and wants to try different things at the grocery store or likes to cook things that

00:10:24.480 with ingredients that are expensive giving them a gift card for the grocery store where they can

00:10:30.000 literally buy whatever they want and not worry about it i think that's kind of like a fun and

00:10:34.240 interesting idea if you're someone like that or your partner is someone like that i happen not to be

00:10:39.840 i'm like okay i have my list and i want to get this and that is it but jacob and other people i know

00:10:46.320 like to kind of wander around the grocery store and see what can they find see what kind of stuff is

00:10:53.040 interesting to them and giving them a gift card might be the perfect idea in that same vein for

00:10:59.600 the woman in your life you might want to give them a money to tj maxx or target because again these are

00:11:04.320 places where you go in you want to wander around see what you find and you can't just spend a ton of

00:11:09.680 money there generally so having a gift card gives people kind of that feeling of a shopping spree even

00:11:14.560 if it's not a lot of money even if it's just a little bit it gives them this feeling of i could really

00:11:18.880 buy whatever i want today next up i want to talk about my favorite candle company and that is

00:11:24.320 tuscany candle they make the best smelling candles and they are so strong like if you light this in

00:11:31.280 one room it will make the whole house smell like it which i think is awesome i have this one in woodland

00:11:36.320 path you can find these on amazon i believe and they are just fantastic so i really recommend them

00:11:41.200 and they're less expensive than bed bath and beyond especially if you can find them at your grocery

00:11:45.600 store which is where i have found them in the past another great gift idea is a hand soap and hand

00:11:51.120 lotion kind of set this is my favorite scent this is in this i've talked about it a lot here on my

00:11:56.640 channel and on my uh instagram but in this is my perfume scent and they have like a bunch of products

00:12:02.480 with that scent in it but it doesn't have to be in this it can be whatever scents you like but having

00:12:08.000 this set for the winter i just think it's so important because my hands for some reason get so dry in

00:12:13.040 the winter i mean i know i'm not alone and washing them and then immediately having lotion next to it

00:12:17.360 really helps with that and it looks beautiful on your countertop so i really recommend this as a

00:12:21.680 gift i just think it's a nice thoughtful thing and it's not just like oh i got you a basket of lotions

00:12:26.480 no it's like i got you some hand lotion and hand soap and you can use them and it will actually be useful

00:12:32.400 to you the next gift idea is this cosmetic bag so i got this from amazon i don't know the exact company

00:12:39.040 but i will link it down below it says makeup beauty i really like this because i think it's

00:12:43.520 like the perfect size it has enough room for my products and then it also has a place for my makeup

00:12:49.840 brushes which is super important and then it has this little bag that you can disconnect with velcro

00:12:54.080 and you can put just like some extra things in here i love this bag i think it's really well designed

00:12:59.040 it's really inexpensive and it would make a great gift another great gift for the holidays is giving

00:13:04.160 someone a gift certificate for a massage or a facial i think that we don't often spoil ourselves

00:13:09.680 with these things but they are so nice when they happen and they make that feel so spoiled so finding

00:13:15.200 a place in your area that you think is a good place and getting someone a gift certificate for that

00:13:21.600 is just a really loving and kind gesture and would mean a lot especially i think to women men may not

00:13:27.120 care as much but women in your life will definitely feel like oh it's a spa day if they get to

00:13:32.800 if they get to go get a massage or a facial okay we are definitely losing light here so i'm trying

00:13:37.360 to rush so hopefully we can get all this done before it's absolutely pitch black in here so

00:13:41.840 let's do a couple of kitchen items i recommend the ninja foodie jacob bought this for me a few years ago

00:13:48.320 and i love it it is an air fryer an instant pot it can saute it can do all of these different things

00:13:55.440 and it's just really useful especially during the winter time when you're making stews and soups

00:14:00.720 i really love the ninja foodie it's heavy so finding a place to store it is a little bit

00:14:05.520 difficult but i think it's actually better than the instant pot it has many more kind of capabilities

00:14:11.440 and i appreciate that so definitely something to look into it is a little bit more expensive but it's

00:14:18.000 a really good gift and one that you should be using a lot i mean i use it pretty frequently

00:14:22.800 the next kitchen gift idea is an immersion blender i got this at costco when we had a costco membership

00:14:28.880 and i didn't know if i would use it as much as i do i make soup a lot if you're somebody who makes

00:14:34.320 soup a lot then an immersion blender is just awesome because you can throw everything in the

00:14:38.880 pot let it boil and then stick the immersion blender in and you're done like it's just so

00:14:43.280 fast and easy and it's just a really nice thing to have on hand so i definitely recommend getting

00:14:48.240 the cuisinart one we have the cuisinart one and i love it uh and it's just a really good addition to

00:14:53.360 your kitchen okay i think we made it through i can tell it's dark in here so i apologize that we

00:14:59.040 definitely lost light but that is today's video i hope you guys enjoyed my classic girl's guide to

00:15:05.920 gifts for this year let me know in the comments which of these things you would consider purchasing
