My Christmas wishlist is growing fast! Will have to get some tools too, a katsura, a deshojo and what not!
Hi Jelle, what would you charge me to come to South Africa and give me in personal training 😂
Will be resharing this!
Excellent ideas 👍❤️
I hope I get a trip to Kyoto to study with Bjorn Bjorholm. hint, hint.
Great advice lovely ideas.
Great video, there were a couple of things I’ll buy for myself 😂
👋👌
If something is easier to sharpen, it is easier to blunt(en), as well
Remind me to show this video to my wife 😁😁
Hoi Jelle dit is een erg Leuk idee, voor zowel gevorderde als wel voor beginnende starters!
Hi Jelle, maybe some manuall Jin and Shari Tools are also a good Present!? Just an additional Idea…
I'm forwarding this to my family 😊
Can I be on your gift list? Maybe the slightly more experienced genre? Sigh! What a super video. Must view for every gift-giver. Thanks!
You could always add in varies sizes of turn-tables, beautiful notebooks for record keeping, very supple close fitting gloves, lighted magnifying clamp-on or free-standing, offering to spend a day hunting yamadori. I still want to be on your gift list! Tee Hee!
Bonsai pots are ALWAYS a great gift. They're not so easy to come by over here, not cheap either, and too heavy to be practical for shipping/ordering. Having a selection of available ceramic pots is much better than having no choice but crappy plastic for yet another year.
Is self gifting allowed?😂
Great video Jelle 👊👊
👍👌🙂
Nice….👍👍👍
Great Video! I could add consumables like 5l of 4mm pumice and a Workshop by Jelle in the Berlin Area to the List… Yeah… that would be a Great Gift to me… 😇😁 merry Weihnachten ya‘ll! 🎅
I'm shopping for wire cutters and see some that say they are for aluminum wire. I can't find any saying they are for copper wire. Will it be a problem using the one for aluminum on copper wire???
Great video Jelle with lots of useful items!
Hi Jelle, i can’t find this one anywhere, what’s the exact name or site that sells it? Thanks in advance, have a nice day
Great ideas! For me, the closest Bonsai stores are 16 hour drive from where I live. Way down where Nigel lives. The people I know starting out here, sharing cuttings and seedlings are most appreciated gifts! The only access to other items is online. Like where I am. Delivery is not always available to this area. Other ideas, people can start an amazon wish list! Seeds for those that enjoy sprouting them. Not the seed kits though, they are very over priced! Even a fun gift, although expensive, the Lego Bonsai trees! Plastic training pot are always welcome. Chopsticks…. Great, thanks Jelle. Now I want EVERYTHING!😅🤪
I would add a metal embossing tapewriter. It's great to label your trees, especially when they grow in the ground, are too similar varieties or if they have complicated names. Last year I bought myself a vintage Dymo Mite with some stainless steel and aluminum tape and have been happy labeling my trees in pots and garden.
