Gifts for Aspiring YouTubers

by Leave a Comment

So many kids are aspiring YouTubers now after watching their favorite channels. They want to do that too. My own kids want to start a YouTube channel, they just have no idea what their channel(s) would be about.

I love to support my kids in whatever they are interested in but I am not ready to spend boatloads of money on a current hobby or passion without thought. They have a lot of passions and hobbies.

I have found three different products for each category of things you or your child might need to be successful. None of which are over the price of $50.

Digital Camera for Vlogging

If you are going to be a vlogger on YouTube or any other platform you need to have a way to record yourself.

Greenscreen

This might not be necessary but how much fun could a budding YouTuber have with a greenscreen?

Lighting for Aspiring YouTubers

I would like to have some of these ones myself, maybe not the rainbow light ring stand that I know my girls would love to have for creating YouTube videos… probably on applying makeup.

Tripod

Your child has the camera, they have some fun ring lighting, but are you the one holding the camera. Maybe buying a tripod would be a good investment for you and your child.

Microphones

I do not need my children to be any louder, but some camera just don’t have the great microphones built in and these can be helpful to have.

More Great Items for Aspiring YouTubers

The DIY Studio Creator listed below might be the best option for those really new to YouTube or creating any video content.

Truth be told, these would be great for anyone that has an interest in vlogging. An interest that I some times entertain but never actually do anything about.

9 Practical Gifts for Your Sister

by Leave a Comment

I love shopping for others, when I have the money of course. But one problem I often run into is, what do you buy for someone that already has everything? A practical, but still fun, and great gift from you. Because it’s the though that counts right? Here are nine practical-ish gifts for you sister.

Practical Hydrating – Not Alcohol Related

Your sister will remember you every time she sips her coffee or tea from this cool and funny mug. Because we all love unicorns, at least I do anyway.

You can never go wrong with a travel mug for your sister whether she is on the go a lot or at home with her kids. This travel mug will keep her coffee hot, and travel mugs help keep things out of your coffee, and help keep it from spilling when it get knocked over. Not that we have had things dropped in our coffee.

I love infused water. I like water and drink a lot of it, but there is something about fruit infused water that makes me drink more and stay hydrated rather than re-hydrating.

Unpractical Hydrating – Because We Can – In Moderation

Do I drink wine everyday? No, I do not. Am I judging someone that does drink wine everyday? No, I am not. I do like to have a glass of wine a few nights a week, usually when I am making supper.

I think these wine stoppers are fun! One for each day of the week. Might be a fun way to keep track of when you opened the bottle if you are anything like me and have no idea.

Buy your sister a box of goodies to go along with her wine for her birthday. This box has everything you need, socks, wine stopper, a fun class to drink out of, and more.

I think this tote is fun, and I honestly don’t know that I would use it because I don’t go anywhere and when I do go somewhere, I have kids. BUT I wish I could use it.

Practical Gifts for Your Sister

Maybe your sister has a lot of pets like we do here. Those duster slipper shoe covers would be amazing! Slip them over her house shoes, or hard soled slippers and pick up pet hair as she goes through her house.

Who else forgets their shopping bags in the vehicle? Or at home? These reusable shopping bags fold up into their own little bag and can be thrown into a purse so no one forgets them again. And these ones have fun animal prints on them.

I think this diffuser bracelet is really nice. I love my oil diffuser necklace, I’m actually wearing it as I type this. I love it during allergy and cold season to help keep my sinuses cleared. It is great for when I need some calm lavender around me. Plus this bracelet can be worn with almost anything.

BONUS! Coloring Book

I love to color, it relaxes me. I also have a potty mouth, and I know my sister does as well. Opps! This coloring book is for your potty mouthed sister.

Just like your daughter loved getting an Easter basket as a 9 and 10 year old, they’ll love getting a basket of goodies just for them. Tweens and teens have definitely developed their own personality and interests, and they’re all going to be a little bit different. That’s why I’ve divided this list into categories by interest. Whether you have a bookworm or a beauty guru, I’ve got you covered.

Sometimes we need to think a little out of the box for gifts for our tweens and teens. The basics for girls of any age though I think is the same: fun. They might not be playing with Barbies anymore but they still want to have fun even if that’s more with practicing to wear make up instead of Barbies.

I love books, and you know what else I really love? Libraries. I love public libraries. The books and the atmosphere.

This is an amazing book! I read it before we moved and I’m so glad I did. ” Librarian Martha Storm has always found it easier to connect with books than people—though not for lack of trying. She keeps careful lists of how to help others in her superhero-themed notebook. And yet, sometimes it feels like she’s invisible. But all that changes…”

I know I’m not the only one who does this! How can we be expected to put a book down when it is just so interesting? My girls and I could all use this pillow.

My favorite movie ever! I still want the Beast’s library, can you just imagine curling up with a blanket, a cup of hot tea and one of the many books?

People who love reading book or going to libraries will love this cool If Found Please Return to Library t-shirt. This is perfect for any librarian or book lovers.
