hi buzybeez come on in
happy December tis the seasons for gifting and
Eating I am so excited to share with you my latest haul
This one is actually from Whole Foods, and I know Whole Foods is known for a mold paycheck
But I actually found some pretty great deals, and I can't wait to share it with you
these are ideas for your
Entertaining needs or even your holiday gifting needs if you guys like these haul or gifting video ideas
Please give this video a thumbs up and let me know in the comment section below
What kind of haul or budget price points? You'd like to see anyways?
We'll go ahead and get started with the treats alright first up
I love looking for seasonal flavors of ice cream, and I found this eggnog gelato
It looks so beautiful with the layers of
with the top layer of
Spices in here. It's kind of frozen, but let me open it up for you
But it has all these layers of spices on top, and it just looks so creamy and decadent
I cannot wait to dig into this
And how I would serve it is just eat it plain or what would be really fun is making affogato
So I would add a scoop of this into hot coffee
That would be really fun to serve for friends too, and then next up is this
Drizzled kettle corn. I don't know something about that drizzled chocolate
The sweet and salty popcorn combo just called my name
And I think it would be so amazing to eat this while watching
My favorite holiday movie home alone - alone - what's your favorite holiday movie
So even though I bought popcorn already packaged. I also found these
colorful
multi-coloured
corn kernels for popping
I know I owe you guys an epic popcorn video, and it is coming. I promise just stay tuned in January
I will have an amazing popcorn video for you
But I just love the different colors here, and I thought would be really fun next up. We have this, baba
Ghanoush I shared it with you guys on our last video, which is the pita chips with, baba?
Ghanoush and a little bit of caviar, but to be honest with you. I love just eating it
plain on toast with avocados or
Again on homemade pita chips and even just a little bit on my chicken for like some flavorings
So good. I love baba. Ghanoush. Let's see oh
This hail-mary
Persian lime tart I
the first time I had this was a mini one that my sister gave me that she got a big box from Costco and
Behind the box that says say yes to mind-blowing indulgence and literally my mind was blown I
Love this one because it is made with really good ingredients. It's organic shredded coconut Organic Blue Agave cashews
coconut
virgin virgin coconut oil
Coconut sugar lime juice so everything is natural
It's vegan gluten free and dairy free you want to think that it tastes good, but this is one of the best tarts
I've ever had in my life
Uh-oh you guys know how much I love my ciggies so I bought this coconut
Icelandic scure which is very similar to Greek yogurt
The great thing about ciggies is that it's now 20 cents cheaper than it used to be it's 159 so
Stock up on it
I've also really been into coconut milk yogurt so I saw this flavor passionate mango
And I thought it would be really good with coconut milk, so I am giving it a try it has
It has 13 grams of sugar versus
This one. That's 11. I tend to get sick easily because it's not super super sweet
But this one's not too bad. I'll definitely let you guys know how this one tastes speaking of dairy alternatives
I found this almond milk nog
it's been great to add to my coffee in the morning and
I do think it's a little bit too sweet, so I only add just a tiny little bit
but it really brings out the flavor of the coffee, and it has that nog flavor in there that just is just
Perfect for cold mornings here. Well now that we've finished all those treats
Let's move on to drinks since that was a good segue. I found this
gingerbread spice tea and I actually couldn't decide which one to get between this one or
The sugar cookie sleigh ride so I ended up getting both and it was a deal because it was two for five dollars
Every year I stock up on
celestial Seasonings
Holiday teas last year I remember I was in New York
And I was looking for a caffeine free tea, and I found this sugarplum fairy tea
I couldn't find it this year, but I'm excited to try these two flavors
Next up is this
Celebration cafe coffee. I buy whole beans because I like to grind them up myself
But this one has notes of roasted almond toffee and bittersweet chocolate
And I thought it sounded really cozy, so let's give it a try right
And then we have this honking huge anchor brewing beer
Magnum size it actually kind of looks like a huge champagne bottle or like an apple cider bottle, but
It's filled with beer Nate and his friends
love a good hoppy IPA type beer and that's exactly what this is and it'll be great for entertaining kind of like a
Conversation piece because have you ever seen a beer bottle this big
It's really pretty we get this every year so when we have friends over
I always like to have kind of like a spread for them to kind of nibble on so I
Really love to get cheese's. That's like the best way to entertain everyone has a little bit of everything
but
Here's a tip for you at Whole Foods
They will cut cheese's down until like mini sized so you can try it
And I know cheese platters tend to be a little bit expensive based on whatever cheese you buy
But this is a really great hack or a shortcut to kind of save money, so this right here is a huntsman cheese
It's basically kind of like a blue cheese with cheddar, so you kind of get like the best of both worlds
And I got this for $5 for this piece
I know that sounds expensive, but there are ginormous pieces of cheese that you buy there that can be like
$15 and that I feel like that's kind of what and then I also have this, Taleggio
it's kind of like a Brie it has like a washed rind right here, so it tends to be stinky I
Love stinky cheese, so like camembert would also be another really great option
But since this was in their mini cheese bucket. I thought I'd give it a try
I also really love that cheese bucket too because I get a chance to try cheese's that I've never tried before
And it's not like a huge investment this one was for 55
and then I've had manchego before but since it was a smaller piece, and I thought it was like the perfect size I
Would get this manchego is like a Spanish cheese that kind of resembles cheddar, it's mild
It's salty and it's perfect with like prosciutto or other at like charcuterie
And then I just pair it with some plain crackers
I love these crackers because they're like perfect size and you can find them at pretty much any stores nowadays
I've also seen them sell this at Costco
For like a honkin huge box, and it would be really great for entertaining through the holidays
It's by law panzanella
croquette teeny mini
Hmm, let's see what else do we have here. Let's get right on into the gifting. Yeah, this one is a chocolate panettone and
Panettone czar so popular during the holiday season they're pretty and they're really delicious, too
I love a good panettone, and I love that this one has chocolate
It already has a ribbon here, so it's already set to give just pop it in like a gift bag, and you're good to go
I've been really into more natural nail polish up products so this one by mineral fusion has been great
I really recommend it it doesn't have as long of a lasting power as like se or OPI
But the colors are really great, and it it's good enough for me. It lasts like one and a half weeks. It's a hundred percent
vegan it's
totally in free camp for free DBP free
formaldehyde free cruelty flea free and gluten free so I
I really like that. It's such a great product and I
feel better using it
And then I also found this sugar plum foaming soap
I love the smell of it anything sugar plum. I just kind of
Gravitate towards because it has that sweet smell that just reminds me of the holidays
And I wash my hands a lot because I handle a lot of different things
And I don't want era C to contract any germs, so
This one will be in heavy rotation at our house this season and then something super random
But I thought it would make such a fun gift is this
artisanal
How do you say that gigantic Gigante Gigante
Pasta it comes in three different shapes this cone, Keely Annie. I shouldn't even try pronouncing it to see
Pocari
So this one is a giant like
Shell shape this one is your big spiral pasta
And this one it looks like a big ribbon pasta
Nope a big big rigatoni type pasta without the bridges this one would be so fun for like
a
College student that loves pasta or just getting into cooking cuz pasta is like the easiest thing to cook
And it would make such a decadent meal, and I like that on the box it has recipe ideas, too
But what I would do when giving this away is?
Its parent with my favorite pasta
sauce
Brow's
Homemade this one tends to be on the more expensive side of pasta sauce but it's so worth it
And it was actually on sale, I got it for $6.99
I know it sounds kind of expensive for pasta sauce but you really
Really taste the difference in the quality between like the $2 jars and this jar
This one's actually two pounds 32 ounces, so it's on the larger size
Which I feel like it's kind of a deal, and it would go with
The pasta product here, which is also two pounds
Let's see next up is this
PIPA penguins sewing kit now I was looking for stuff for my mama friends
I feel like all of my friends recently had babies, and we're all kind of in the same boat
So it's been really great to kind of support each other why I chose this was because you have to make it yourself
Everything you need to make a cute and cuddly penguin
So it's it's a little bit more special than just buying a stuffed animal of course
I don't know how my friends would feel because it would make them work
to make this
But I thought it would be a fun sewing project
Any moms that don't know how to sew this would kind of be like a good Segway into
Learning how to sew then for air-sea since I am starting to make her baby food. I bought these
plastic storage caps to go with mason jars
I've been making her so much solid foods, and if you guys are interested in watching more mom content
I am starting mom days on Mondays, so I will share like
Recipes for baby food my favorite
Baby gear all that stuff so if you guys are interested
Don't forget to subscribe and tune in on Mondays, but back to what I was saying I make her fresh baby food
And I like to store them in glass jars
But I don't like these metal caps because sometimes I find that they rust at the bottom
just due to moisture or like the dishwasher so
Also, there's two pieces, and I always lose the part. I don't know how or why, but it's always gone
I can only ever find one piece, so I found the cap
plastic caps here that are bpa-free, and I'm gonna start using this I
Found the Magnolia Journal at Whole Foods
I love Johanna games and look how beautiful. She is here. She looks like a queen
I'm obsessed
anyways
um
I'm actually gonna start subscribing to it because it's a lot cheaper this one was $7.99
But I think you can get like the whole year's worth of magazines. I think they come out
Quarterly, so you get you can get one full year of the Magnolia magazines for just twenty dollars
so I'm definitely gonna sign up for that so Joanna really inspires me to up my game with holiday decor and
that's not really my forte like I'm not a big interior designer or like home decor is not my thing so I'm
definitely trying now that we have a place with the fireplace and a cute red door in the front I
Am gonna hang up this
Reef I?
Love that it came already pre-made. I may just add a little bit of small ornaments
Just kind of spruce it up a little bit
But this is gonna go in front of my red door for the holidays alright, and that does it for my haul
I would say these two are my favorite finds
Actually, I have a lot of favorites, but one item that I was looking for that sold out completely was a health aid
Holiday kombucha if you guys have tried that do let me know how it tastes cuz it sounds amazing
let me know what is your favorite buy from Whole Foods and what deals have you found I am a
Definite deal hunter, and I don't like spending whole paychecks
Anything that's too expensive, I kind of shy away or I'll wait till it goes on sale, so
especially during the holidays I
Have certain stores that I shop at and I know that they'll always have deals during the holidays so during the week
I wait till the weekend where they have their promotions, and that's when I'll do most of my gift shopping
I hope you guys like my holiday haul slash gift guide if you guys want to see more
