Earlier this year I made a goal to do a Facebook Live in 2017. (For those of you who don’t know what Facebook Live is, it’s a live broadcast on Facebook. I’m sure you could have figured that out, but I like to be helpful. ;-)). I kept putting it off because, well, the thought of showing my face and talking to people on Facebook made me want to vomit (hello . . . there are like a gajillion Facebook users worldwide)! It’s much easier to sit behind your computer screen and type.
Anyway, I waited until NOW to actually do it, but I’m proud to say that I DID IT and I shared three inexpensive Dollar Tree holiday gift ideas during my first Facebook Live!
These are all quick and easy gift ideas that are perfect for someone you need just a little something for – maybe your neighbors, the school bus driver, crossing guard, mail lady – you get the idea!
You know you’ve got a bunch of people on your list like that, so watch my video to learn how to make Gingerbread House Soaps, Mercury Glass Votives, and Hot Chocolate Tumblers!
In the end, doing Facebook Live wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and I will probably do it again! It was kind of a fun rush and I always like a challenge.
If you watch my video, let me know what you think! Also – please let me know if you have any ideas for future Facebook Lives! 🙂
Happy Holidays!

I think you did a fabulous job for your first time. I know I would have been scared too. You should be very proud of yourself for following through with Facebook Live. Your ideas were great too.
Bre says
Hi, Gwen!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is so sweet and I appreciate your encouragement! I am sorry it took me so long to respond, but I got very behind with Christmas prep and my kids’ winter break. I am grateful for your support! Best wishes for the happiest and healthiest New Year. 🙂

Love the post! Thanks for sharing these gift ideas! I had no idea what to get for a few of my friends, but now I know exactly what to gift them. =)
Bre says
Hi, Diana! THANK YOU!!! Such a sweet note. I am sorry for the delay in responding – I got very behind with Christmas prep and then my kids’ winter break. But I truly appreciate the fact that you watched my babbling video and took the time to respond. I hope you had a beautiful holiday season!

Could you post your videos to your blog for those people who don’t have or want Facebook accounts? Your video did not play all the way through on your blog, probably cause it is through Facebook?
Thank you!
Bre says
Hi, Maggie! Oh my gosh, I am SO behind on responding to comments and I am very sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I read that when I embed the videos from FB they should work, even for non-FB users, so I will do some more investigating! I may end up doing it a different way since you had this problem. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! xo
