#Christmas blogging stuffers

[kentnaturaltribrid]

My favorite stocking stuffer is The Candycane, they’re fun and taste like twizzler mixed with mint. Though, a second would be sugar free jellybeans, which taste like all sorts of sweet.

Stocking stuffer!

Yippee!!

Best Stocking Stuffers Tama Blog Post

It’s about that time when you decide if it’s social acceptable to gift a Tamagotchi to everyone and we’re here to say we support that. Bandai has put together a Tama Blog post that’s all about the best stocking stuffers, oh we wonder what they are going to recommend!

The post calls out that the Tamagotchi Original, Star Wars R2-D2, TinyTAN, Toy Story, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Kamen Rider are some of the best Tamagotchi’s to stuff stockings with, and we couldn’t agree more. The Tamagotchi Pix Party is way too big to fit into a stocking.

Be sure to check out the full post here on the official Tama Blog!

💚Christmas Kisses❤

Dont know if I was going to have any time, so I quickly put something together for @turtle-babe83 s #tmnt stocking stuffers event c:

You and (Leo/Raph/Donnie/Mikey) had been together for a long time. Its been one crazy journey, but you loved every single moment. From the unexpected capture by the baddies to the predictable ways of your lover, you wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole world. You've gained another family, as well as your own, and your family had finally became open minded about the ninja turtle you have made a life with.

Tonight, on Christmas Eve, the lair was full as it's ever been. You stood on the middle of the living room watching with Splinter by your side. You watched as your child mingled with your younger cousins and the turtles got to talk with humans besides April and Casey, who also dropped by. The old rat's eyes twinkled with how lively it was.

"It brings me great joy to see all these smiling faces..." Your turtle beau came up to stand by the other side of you, gently pulling you to him by the hip. "Including yours, my son. You chose well picking Y/N as a partner."

He thanked his father and master. He turned to look at you, catching your gaze. "And I thank you, my love, for loving me and always believing in me when no one else would." He dropped a kiss in your hair. "You've given me more gifts than I can ever count, and I will treasure them forever."

You blushed and gave his lips a quick peck. "I love you, (Leonardo/Raphael/Donatello/Michelangelo). Forever and always and for all time." you replied with your vows you made at the wedding ceremony that seemed to have happened like it was yesterday.

"Forever, always, and for all time." he said back as he pulled you in for a kiss filled with all his love and compassion he never seemed to extinguish.

Ooooh 51: “What the hell are you wearing?”

Feel like this is a good one for Chloe x Marinette 👀

Oh? I'll give it a try!

------------------

It all started with a commission.

Well… a lot of commissions. 

One random Friday evening, Marinette had checked her blog to find that she’d been commissioned for twenty - TWENTY - blouses in varying colors from one of her palettes jokingly named ‘girlfriend material’ by Alya. 

‘It’s just a cute name for it!’ Her best friend had said in the moment. ‘Maybe Adrien will see you in it and think the same thing: she is girlfriend material!’ 

Marinette hadn’t felt like arguing - as Adrien had been the furthest thing from her mind lately due to all the akuma attacks - and had typed the name into the website as a placeholder. She had planned to change it eventually but she’d forgotten and the site went up so there was no turning back. 

She had been sure with a name like that, no one would ever choose the colors, but here she was: sewing together twenty - TWENTY - blouses using those very colors. 

Interesting. 

Marinette wondered who would want so many shirts like this. What kind of person would bulk order them? Were they presents? Were they going to be like stocking stuffers at this person’s next Christmas party? Were they presents for someone’s twenty different lovers for Valentine’s Day?

The possibilities were endless and Marinette reasoned that she shouldn’t worry about it too much: once these were shipped off there was no way of knowing what would happen to them and she shouldn’t be thinking about shirts she would never see again…

… Except she was seeing them again! 

Day after day, Marinette found herself looking at the blouses that had taken her weeks to design and put together. And she knew they were hers because it matched her design down to a tee! And while she wasn’t unhappy to see her merchandise being wore out in public, she was surprised to see it at school…

On Chloe! 

Chloe of all people?

Had Chloe been the one to commission her? If so, why hadn’t she said anything? It was very unlike her not to boast about being the one to put money in someone’s pocket or even make fun of Marinette’s clothes to her face. 

But Chloe said nothing. 

Day after day, she wore the shirts to school, the group hangouts, when she was out at lunch with her father, the mayor, and even on her Instagram. 

It all confused Marinette so much that on this particular Friday when Chloe walked into homeroom wearing one of the blouses - the only one with a splash of yellow around the collar to accentuate the black - Marinette couldn’t stop herself.

“What the hell are you wearing?” 

The question sent the room into a shocked silence and everyone watched as Chloe slowly turned to Marinette. “What was that, Dupain-Cheng?”

Gulping, Marinette stood up from her seat. “I asked what you are wearing?”

A tiny smirk lifted her glossy lips and she sauntered over to Marinette. “If you’re asking about my shirt, Dupain-Cheng, then I’ll tell you. I’m wearing a design by one of my favorite designers.”

Marinette’s mouth went dry. One of her favorites? “Really?”

“Mhm. I even used Daddy’s credit card because, once I saw it, I couldn’t resist. I had to buy twenty of them.”

So Chloe really had bought them! And she knew that it was Marinette who made them! But… “Why?”

Chloe’s eyes glittered and Marinette gasped as she felt the blonde’s fingers across the back of her hand. “I was tired of beating around the bush. I wanted the designer to know that I’m serious and that I’m just like her shirts.”

Gulping, Marinette felt a blush on her cheeks. “You’re just like her shirts how?”

Leaning in, Chloe’s breath tickled her ear. “I’m also girlfriend material.”

With that, Chloe winked before proudly walking back to her seat, keenly aware of the blushing  and overthinking mess she had made of her classmate.

A classmate who was quickly realizing that she would very much like to find out if the blonde really was girlfriend material herself.

From Santa Sacks to Stocking Stuffers: Exploring Christmas Bag Styles

Christmas is on the horizon, and with it comes the joyful task of gift-giving. But beyond the gifts themselves, how you present them can add an extra layer of excitement and charm. Whether you’re a gift shopper, a parent aiming to create magical moments, a business looking to impress clients, an event planner seeking to add festive flair, or a crafter who delights in DIY projects, choosing the right Christmas bag style can make all the difference. This blog explores various Christmas bag styles, each offering unique benefits and aesthetics, ensuring your gifts are as delightful on the outside as they are on the inside.

The Charm of Santa Sacks

Santa sacks are the epitome of Christmas cheer. These oversized bags, often adorned with festive designs and personalized touches, make a striking statement under the tree. Unlike traditional wrapping paper, Santa sacks can be reused year after year, making them a sustainable choice.

Businesses can also benefit by using branded Santa sacks for corporate gifts, leaving a lasting impression on clients and employees alike.

Crafters can get creative with DIY Santa sacks, using fabric paint, stencils, and embellishments to design custom sacks that reflect personal style and creativity. The possibilities are endless, making Santa sacks a versatile and charming option for everyone.

Classic Stockings for Timeless Tradition

Stockings have been a staple of Christmas traditions for centuries. Hung by the fireplace or at the end of the bed, they evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Stockings come in a variety of styles, from classic red and white designs to modern interpretations with unique patterns and materials.

For gift shoppers, stockings provide an opportunity to include a mix of small, thoughtful gifts. Parents can delight children with a stocking full of surprises, from candy canes to tiny toys. Businesses can use stockings for holiday promotions, filling them with branded merchandise or vouchers.

Gift shoppers will find drawstring bags useful for oddly shaped or bulky items that are difficult to wrap. Parents can use them for storing holiday treats or as part of a scavenger hunt for gifts.

Businesses can choose eco-friendly drawstring bags for corporate gifts, promoting sustainability while spreading holiday cheer. Event planners can use them as goody bags for guests, filled with party favors and treats. Crafters can personalize drawstring bags with fabric paint, appliques, or embroidery, creating unique and reusable gift packaging.

Advent Bags for Countdown Excitement

Advent bags add an element of fun and excitement to the holiday season, allowing recipients to count down the days until Christmas with a new surprise each day. These small bags can be hung on a garland, placed in a basket, or displayed on a tree, creating a festive and interactive decor element.

Gift shoppers can fill advent bags with a variety of small gifts, from chocolates and candies to tiny toys and trinkets. Parents can use advent bags to build anticipation and create lasting memories, making each day leading up to Christmas special.

Businesses can use advent bags for holiday promotions, offering daily deals or giveaways to engage customers. Event planners can incorporate advent bags into holiday parties, using them for games or as part of the decor. Crafters can create custom advent bags, adding personal touches like numbers, festive designs, and decorative trims.

Tote Bags for Multifunctional Gifting

Gift shoppers can find tote bags in a variety of materials, from sturdy canvas to lightweight cotton, making them suitable for any gift. Parents can use tote bags for larger gifts or as part of a gift set, adding smaller items inside.

Businesses can opt for branded tote bags for corporate gifts, providing a reusable item that promotes the company. Event planners can use tote bags as party favors, filled with treats and goodies for guests. Crafters can personalize tote bags with custom designs, making each one a unique and thoughtful gift.

Basket Bags for Rustic Charm

Basket bags offer a rustic and charming option for Christmas gifting, combining the aesthetic appeal of a woven basket with the convenience of a gift bag. These bags are perfect for creating a cozy and festive look, whether placed under the tree or used as part of holiday decor.

Gift shoppers can fill basket bags with a variety of items, from gourmet food and wine to cozy blankets and candles. Parents can create themed basket bags for each family member, adding personalized touches and favorite treats.

4 Reasons Why Christmas Bags Are the Best for Holiday Wrapping

The holiday season is just around the corner, and as a shop owner, you’re likely gearing up to provide your customers with the best products for their gift-giving needs. While traditional wrapping paper has long been a staple, Christmas bags are quickly becoming the go-to choice for holiday wrapping. Not only do they offer a range of benefits, but they also cater to the evolving preferences of consumers. In this blog post, we'll explore five compelling reasons why Christmas bags are the best option for holiday wrapping, and why you should consider stocking up on them this festive season.

1. Convenience and Ease of Use

One of the most significant advantages of Christmas bags is their convenience. Unlike traditional wrapping paper, which often requires precise cutting, taping, and folding, Christmas bags make the wrapping process a breeze. Simply place the gift inside the bag, add some tissue paper or a ribbon, and you're done. This ease of use is particularly appealing to last-minute shoppers who may not have the time or patience for traditional wrapping methods. As a shop owner, offering Christmas bags can save your customers valuable time and effort, making their holiday shopping experience more enjoyable.

2. Versatility in Sizes and Styles

Christmas bags come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and designs, making it easy to find the perfect match for any gift. Whether your customers are wrapping small stocking stuffers, medium-sized presents, or large, bulky items, there's a Christmas bag to suit every need. Additionally, these bags often feature festive designs, colors, and patterns that add a touch of holiday cheer to any gift. By offering a diverse selection of Christmas bags in your store, you can cater to a broader range of customer preferences and ensure that everyone finds the ideal wrapping solution.

3. Durability and Protection

Christmas bags offer superior durability and protection compared to traditional wrapping paper. Wrapping paper can easily tear or become damaged during the wrapping process or while being transported, leading to a less-than-perfect presentation. In contrast, Christmas bags are typically made from sturdy materials that can withstand the rigors of handling and transportation. This added durability ensures that gifts remain intact and presentable, even if they are jostled around in transit. By providing your customers with durable Christmas bags, you can help them ensure that their gifts look impeccable when they reach their recipients.

4. Cost-Effective Solution

While high-quality wrapping paper can be quite expensive, Christmas bags offer a cost-effective alternative that doesn't compromise on aesthetics or functionality. Many Christmas bags are priced competitively, making them an affordable option for both your store and your customers. Additionally, because Christmas bags can be reused, they offer better value over time compared to single-use wrapping paper. By stocking and promoting cost-effective Christmas bags, you can attract budget-conscious shoppers and boost your store's overall sales during the holiday season.

I have no one else to tell and I just need to vent, so I’m posting on this blog just because it’s always been a little bit of my private journal.

Christmas was a little disappointing this year. It was my boyfriends family’s first time spending Christmas all together for the first time in years (they’re not from my country), and his older sister said that I bought too much for them for both gifts and stocking stuffers. Except the stockings and the tree were basically empty…? I’m not trying to sound presumptuous but I mean… a bit of Christmas magic is when you see a full tree and stockings right? Especially if you’re not expecting much? Idk for me at least that’s such a good feeling, but I grew up poor and humble and grateful for everything I received regardless of how big or small a Christmas was. I didn’t realize someone would be ungrateful if it was too big though lmao.

It’s my bf, me, his sister, his nephew, and his mom, so I already knew the only people filling stockings was going to be me and my bf, and that his sister would probably only fill her sons, which is totally fine. I even asked my bf what the budget should be and at first he said $100+, but at the last minute he said $25, so luckily I only did somewhere in the middle for both gifts and stuffers, which is a little more but not unreasonable, especially for immediate family members.

And I know it’s not about the gifts and you don’t give a gift to get recognition, but I tried really hard to make sure everyone had a lot to open and that they were thoughtful gifts too since they don’t have any family here in my country, and it seemed like no one else was going to get them anything. I didn’t even expect them to get me anything, but I just wanted to give them a good first Christmas all together and make a good impression as it’s my first one with them too.

And my boyfriend’s sister didn’t really seem grateful, and she just kept saying that it was too much and not to do it again. Idk that was just kind of shitty. I spent a lot of time curating their gifts for them, and they show gratitude differently so I wasn’t expecting a lot of fan fare, but she couldn’t just say thank you and leave it be, you know? I also didn’t spend a ton on them - like I think $60 each roughly, but I thrifted a lot of things and also combined their birthday gifts because I missed it due to me travelling. But she said I should have just left it and not done that but like… okay but do you not want a birthday gift at all then…? Wtf 😂

Also! They were kind of pissed that the nephew didn’t do gifts or stocking stuffers but he’s like… 10? And his mom didn’t help him with it, she just expects he’ll do it himself. With no money and no car and no help. Like lmfao what.

And then at the end of the night, they like… forced me to pray?? ☠️ I grew up Christian and I know they’re catholic so I’m not unfamiliar/uncomfortable with praying in general, but out of nowhere the older sister says I’m going to explain the story of the birth of Jesus to her son (my bfs nephew) without even asking me and I was like uhhhh lmao no tf I am not? And she was expecting me to know the whole bible off by heart and stuff too, like just assuming and then gets kind of pissy when I’m like I obviously don’t know that lmao. Like she gets so condescending about it, like oh which translation of the bible do you use and oh yeah you know X story is in X bible chapter right like lol girl… my memory doesn’t work like that any more idfk. 😂

And when I said I didn’t want to pray either (bc I have mixed feelings about the institution of the church and don’t agree with a lot of the ways Catholicism goes about it), she like… she couldn’t just be like oh okay no worries then she was literally like OUT OF THE BLUE AND WITHOUT TALKING TO ME “okay (my name) can open in prayer and say what she’s grateful for” LIKE UHHH WHAT!!! And put me on the spot in front of the whole family and told me to thank Jesus! It made me feel so fucking awful to be forced to do it and have it sprung on me instead of letting it come naturally. I said no I’m good actually and she was like well you have so much to be thankful for how about X, Y, and Z so thank Jesus for it and I just fucking awkwardly said “… I am grateful for the happiness and health of my friends and family”. And that was IT ☠️

Ugh idk. It just makes me feel like, why bother to be nice and go above and beyond when it’s not appreciated. My boyfriend loved his gifts, and he was really grateful at least. It’s just kind of a shame that his sister didn’t seem to feel the same way. I feel like maybe it’s because if I set the bar too high, she won’t be able to do it for her son next year so she doesn’t like how glamorous it seemed, which I totally understand as well. But at the same time you’re an adult, and I’m new to the family, so it was your responsibility to let me know for example “oh hey I don’t expect you to buy my kid anything but if you do please keep it under X amount and also we’re teaching him X lessons”. And if the issue is not being able to afford gifts, teach your kid to be extra thankful but not expectant? That he should bless others like that if he has the means? Like idk so many lessons you could be imparting, but instead you taught your kid to be ungrateful and unappreciative too because “you shouldn’t have given us these gifts” GIRL ITS CHRISTMAS IDK WHEN ELSE IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO GIFT GIVE AND BE GRATEFUL THEN

And then to make it worse my boyfriend started laughing at me because I was so uncomfortable, but then I was just getting irritated and angry with him. Which I don’t want to do on Christmas. But after a few months of living with his family I just feel like I’m not compatible with them or his culture, and I don’t want to live with them any more. He says we’ll move out after our lease is up, but he wants to still live in the same house as them (like ie top and bottom floor). Which… idk, is a better compromise, but I feel like I just need my own space again. I can’t deal with the constant microaggressions and miscommunications.

I feel like I don’t really like her that much, and it sucks cause I’d like her to be my sister in law one day because I don’t always have these problems either my boyfriend, but I don’t feel closeness to her. She’s not that nice. She’s often really rude imo (but I try to cut her slack since there’s cultural differences and my bfs family seems to act the same way). She’s told me things in the past before like I need to gain weight, she’s always criticizing everything I do and can’t just accept a different point of view, and she always has to be right, and I’m constantly being told what to eat and how much and when. It’s part of their cultural norms it seems but I can’t take it any more. And high key low key, she acts this way to everyone, and it’s become a problem at her work place, and apparently upper management is trying to get her fired. And like… I don’t WISH it upon her… but I wish that she would have a bit of an attitude adjustment from being in that position you know. ☠️ like she doesn’t want to lose her job and I don’t want her to either obviously, but she just refuses to see that maybe her condescending superiority complex is a legitimate issue and she needs to be taken down a notch! She probably doesn’t even know she has one in the first place, and she wouldn’t listen to you even if you tried to tell her either.

Sometimes I wish I was still with my ex. At least we don’t have cultural differences and had a laidback Christmas together, and he just gave me straight up $250 in cash last year lmfaoo. 😂

I’m just frustrated and sad. Christmas was almost perfect today. And right at midnight everything just felt rotten about it after that. Next year I’ll just give her fucking $20 or something, nothing personal. Idc if it’s petty; I’m not putting that much effort into her again tbh like I’m done, I tried and I’m done now :/
