The now 18-year-old mother started her collection on social media by showing off the makeup she bought for her daughter.
She said, “The most important thing is this little Lip Smackers lip balm.
“I already know she’s going to love it because she loves makeup, even though she’s not supposed to have it.”
The mother also managed to get hold of two Kuromi handbags and saved money by taking them from Temu.
Her daughter also received a Hello Kitty art set, Play Doh and a new iPad case.
Mari-Clare also bought a few costumes for her daughter, including a policewoman and a nurse, as she had said she wanted to be both when she grew up.
She said that she bought the gifts all year round and that was why she received so many gifts.
Next one was a homemade magic wand for her daughter and a few Paw Patrol sets.
In addition, the mother also grabbed two pairs of jeweled pink sunglasses with matching glasses case for her daughter to take to the pool this summer.
Her daughter was also obsessed with Gabby Cat, so she went all out with her new favorite toy, including a set of dress-up ears, a talking Gabby Cat toy and four sets of playsets featuring figurines from the TV series.
But that’s not all, the lucky little ones also received a wooden tea set, Barbie dolls, baby dolls, Care Bears and a Disney Princess Belle doll.
The clip was posted to the mother’s TikTok account @mariclaremaclamroc went viral with over 5.7 million views and 900,000 likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts on the huge catch in the comments.
Someone wrote: “She gets more presents than I do.”
Another commented: “She got more presents than I ever got.”

“Girl, what do you do for a living?” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “I’m actually so jealous.”
“She’s gotten more presents than I’ve gotten in 19 years,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Spending tip: buy things throughout the year (things you can find on sale and such) and use that as a way to buy Christmas and birthday presents.”
Mari-Clare replied, “Yes, I did, and I got so much from it.”
