SPEAKER_01
Fantastic.
0
SPEAKER_01
And he s a serial entrepreneur, a very smart cookie.
0
SPEAKER_01
And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride.
0
SPEAKER_00
Get ready for some major realness.
0
SPEAKER_01
Welcome to the skinny confidential him and her.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hello, hello, everybody.
0
SPEAKER_02
Welcome back to the Him and Her Show.
0
SPEAKER_02
We have a bonus episode coming in hot for you today, brought to you by Sunglass Hut.
0
SPEAKER_02
We had no plans to do a bonus episode, but Sunglass Hut came in and said, hey, we want to be a partner and help you guys promote a holiday gift guide, which we thought would be
0
SPEAKER_02
a great thing to do right before the holidays, talking about a little bit of a him and her perspective, my ideas of gifts, Lauren s ideas of gifts.
0
SPEAKER_02
And of course, some amazing sunglasses brought to you by one of our new favorite partners, Sunglass Hut.
0
SPEAKER_02
Lauren, let s talk about what we re giving people for the holidays.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, these are things that yes, I m giving people, like I have my whole psycho list on my phone, but also things that I have.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I like to give things that I have so I can make sure it s a 10 out of 10.
0
SPEAKER_00
The first thing that you cannot go wrong with, this is so great if you have an in-law or a business partner, or you just want to give something that is so chic, creme de la creme, the Flamingo Estates boxes.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, that is a good one.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is such a good one.
0
SPEAKER_00
Here s why.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can go on and you can pick a box for who you re shopping for specifically.
0
SPEAKER_00
So let me give you an example.
0
SPEAKER_00
I go on, I find a box for my stepmom.
0
SPEAKER_00
She loves olive oil.
0
SPEAKER_00
They have the most beautiful olive oil.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can add like a tomato Roma candle.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s so chic.
0
SPEAKER_00
Everything is beautiful.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s literally like someone could not not like it.
0
SPEAKER_00
They have all different kinds of home goods.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just think that it s a really high level, beautiful, classy gift.
0
SPEAKER_00
The boxes on Flamingo Estates.
0
SPEAKER_00
And if you don t want to do a box because they can be a little bit pricey, get one of their candles.
0
SPEAKER_00
I am telling you, these candles are stunning.
0
SPEAKER_00
The tomato one is my personal favorite.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have it burning in my kitchen and it s not too strong.
0
SPEAKER_02
And we do give that gift to a lot of the people in our life.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s a good gift.
0
SPEAKER_00
Really, Michael, I feel like I order and pick the gift and you just sign your name.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, but that technically same household.
0
SPEAKER_02
Lauren, listen, we ve been together long enough.
0
SPEAKER_02
The gift is from both of us.
0
SPEAKER_02
I did not go, I guess, as I would say, classy or chic, but... High level.
0
SPEAKER_02
Listen, guys, don t...
0
SPEAKER_02
Don t tune this one out.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hear me out when I say my first recommendation for a gift this holiday season, and this might be as I m getting a little older, but I just telling you, it s maybe not so exciting.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was influenced by my friend, Ben.
0
SPEAKER_02
Many of you may know him as boy with no job.
0
SPEAKER_02
and he was sharing on his stories this product called a Navage Nasal Irrigation Nose Cleaner.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you fucking kidding me?
0
SPEAKER_02
I am not kidding you.
0
SPEAKER_02
Let me tell you something.
0
SPEAKER_00
You re gonna get someone a nasal cleaner?
0
SPEAKER_02
It s a hundred bucks on Amazon.
0
SPEAKER_02
This
0
SPEAKER_02
I think that people are going to be talking about nasal irrigation and cleaning the same way we talk about mouth breathing and optimization of hormones and whatever hot new health trend.
0
SPEAKER_02
I ve been using this thing during this season with all of these allergies and our kids being sick.
0
SPEAKER_02
What it does is basically this machine comes, you just put some water in it, it comes with little salt pods, and it just puts salt water up your nose and fully irrigates your whole thing.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you have congestion or you get holiday allergies, this
0
SPEAKER_02
I m telling you is incredible.
0
SPEAKER_00
But babe, you do have big nostrils.
0
SPEAKER_02
I do have big nostrils, but listen, I m telling you for anyone that has allergies, congestion, there s sicknesses going around, viruses, I m not getting sick anymore.
0
SPEAKER_02
My allergies are cleared up.
0
SPEAKER_02
My congestion s gone.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s incredible.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s about a hundred bucks on Amazon.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s my first gift guide.
0
SPEAKER_02
I have some more elevated ones after this, but I m telling you,
0
SPEAKER_02
this thing, the Navage.
0
SPEAKER_02
Thank you, Ben.
0
SPEAKER_02
Navage nasal irrigation, nasal cleaner.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number one, I want to know why you and Ben are talking about nasal cleaners.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what s happening.
0
SPEAKER_02
I watched his Instagram stories and I asked him and I said I was influenced and he said it s actually legit.
0
SPEAKER_02
I tried it.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m telling you it s verified.
0
SPEAKER_00
OK, but also Amazon, does someone really want to unwrapped a nasal cleaner under the tree?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, hey, hey, Uncle John, here s your nasal cleaner.
0
SPEAKER_02
Let me tell you something, your Uncle John, your Grandpa Gary, all these people, of course, yes, this is what they want to do.
0
SPEAKER_02
Your brother Tom, women in your life.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
Let me know on Instagram if you guys like the nasal cleaner better or the Flamingo Estates stunning immaculate box.
0
SPEAKER_02
Honestly, buy it for yourself if you have doubts.
0
SPEAKER_00
I actually am going to buy it for myself, but I don t want it as a gift.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s an incredible gift.
0
SPEAKER_02
It lets the loved one in your life know you re thinking about their health and well-being and their allergies.
0
SPEAKER_02
And if not, honestly, just buy this for yourself.
0
SPEAKER_02
You ll thank me later.
0
SPEAKER_02
People are going to write in and be like, Michael, you were right.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then Ben, I will pass the credit to you and say you are also right.
0
SPEAKER_02
So don t worry.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s win all around.
0
SPEAKER_00
Nothing hotter than hearing about your husband cleaning out his nostrils.
0
SPEAKER_00
OK, the next gift that I have is a gift that I received from Kira McKenzie, who came on the podcast.
0
SPEAKER_00
She gifted me the most beautiful wine glasses.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I thought it was such a good gift because these wine glasses were colored wine glasses and they were like this beautiful, stunning green.
0
SPEAKER_00
kind of like the Mountain Valley water, just the most gorgeous, like evergreen clear.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I use them all the time, not to even just drink wine.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ll drink champagne out of them with ice, like a la piscine, or I will do like sparkling water with like a little bit of tart cherry juice.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ll put a bunch of ice in there, nugget ice specifically.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I just thought it was such a chic gift.
0
SPEAKER_00
So they re by Estelle.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re colored glasses.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re stemware.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you can get a set of two or a set of six.
0
SPEAKER_00
And the best part is they come in all different colors.
0
SPEAKER_00
So you could do like a cobalt blue, too.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think this gift you could gift to anyone.
0
SPEAKER_00
You could even if you wanted, if they re a wine lover, give them a really nice bottle of wine or champagne, too.
0
SPEAKER_02
Second one, I m going to elevate it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Men are hard to shop for.
0
SPEAKER_02
I have found one of my new favorite clothing brands when it comes to active wear.
0
SPEAKER_02
I am very picky about the clothes that I wear and put on my body.
0
SPEAKER_02
I have what you call a high sense of fashion, Lauren, if you didn t know that.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m sure everybody that s watching obviously does, but if you re unaware, I have a high sense of fashion and I have found what I believe to be
0
SPEAKER_02
the best men s activewear and fitness brand.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can wear this throughout the day.
0
SPEAKER_02
I drop my kid off at school with it.
0
SPEAKER_02
I go to the gym in it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sometimes I wear it to the office.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s a company called ASRV.
0
SPEAKER_02
I have met the founder of this company.
0
SPEAKER_02
The quality is impeccable.
0
SPEAKER_02
The design is rad.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s comfortable.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can work out in it.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can carry out the day.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you re looking for a gift for the guy in your life, or if you re a guy looking for a gift for yourself, this activewear brand ASRV is incredible.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m actually wearing a hat from them right now.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think their hats fit really good, but also they have jackets and they have pants and they have, like I said, t-shirts, everything s really comfortable, sweatshirts, hoodies, everything.
0
SPEAKER_02
And this is all I ve been working out and now I got rid of basically everything and I only wear ASRV.
0
SPEAKER_02
So check it out.
0
SPEAKER_02
It runs on a bit of a pricier side when it comes to activewear, but the quality is impeccable.
0
SPEAKER_02
And what I found with some of the other companies that I was wearing is like the stuff would break down or tear or rip.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it just wasn t as comfortable.
0
SPEAKER_02
So this stuff, incredible.
0
SPEAKER_02
ASRV, no affiliation, no code.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t own any partnership with them or anything like that.
0
SPEAKER_02
I just think they re incredible.
0
SPEAKER_02
So ASRV, check it out for the men in your life.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I think they re going to do women s at some point too.
0
SPEAKER_02
So check it out.
0
SPEAKER_00
You re peacocking around in your workout wear?
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Come on.
0
SPEAKER_00
My next one is a nice set.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is cool because you can like curate it so you can get the full set or you can get a couple knives.
0
SPEAKER_00
Everyone wants a elevated, beautiful knife set.
0
SPEAKER_00
And the one that I would recommend are how do you say this name, Michael?
0
SPEAKER_00
I m going to probably love it.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a Japanese knife collection on Williams Sonoma, and it s the one I have.
0
SPEAKER_00
It comes in this wood block and the knives are superior.
0
SPEAKER_00
They re so sharp.
0
SPEAKER_00
So obviously keep them away from kids.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s either Miyabi Kaizen or Mayabi Kaizen.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
So that s the brand.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is the exact one I have at my house.
0
SPEAKER_00
I do want to note that my toddler Townes, he has now resorted to taking a chair, a toddler chair, dragging it across the floor, putting it in front of the knives and
1
SPEAKER_01
standing on the chair to try to reach the knives.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you really got to keep them out of reach.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like we had to get rid of this specific chair because he was doing that.
1
SPEAKER_01
But they are the most gorgeous knives and they cut through anything and they re really fine.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I just think the Japanese do it right when it comes to knives.
1
SPEAKER_00
If I said that name wrong, my Japanese grandmother is going to smack me upside the head.
1
SPEAKER_00
I really hope I said at least one of those right.
1
SPEAKER_01
I feel like she s going to smack you across the head after she hears about your nose cleaner.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I ll get her a nose cleaner.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I might honestly get everyone in my family a nose cleaner.
1
SPEAKER_00
What s next, Michael?
1
SPEAKER_00
You don t want to share them.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s a lot about the nose cleaner.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m going to give you guys, I know sometimes people ask me for book recommendations.
1
SPEAKER_00
I could be better at giving them, but before I give you the recommendations on the books for the holiday, which I do have two good ones, I am obsessed right now, not only with a Kindle, which I know Lauren and I have talked about, but there s a new Kindle that came out.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think it was this year or at the end of last year called a Kindle scribe.
1
SPEAKER_00
And why I love this product so much is I used to have this product called a remarkable.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think that s what it was where it s like a little, it s kind of like a,
1
SPEAKER_00
Kindle-esque notebook.
1
SPEAKER_00
But now the Kindle where you get all your books comes in like a full paper size Kindle, which I actually do like having a bigger one.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it comes with a digital pen and it s a notebook and a book.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so you can actually read your books and highlight using this pen and write notes in the margins as if you re writing or reading a hard book.
1
SPEAKER_00
and then you can carry it as a notebook as well.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you can carry obviously thousands of books on there and then thousands of notes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the way I use it is I take all my notes on my books or even just use it as a notebook, and then you can export it and email it to yourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
So instead of having to carry a notebook around and get it to a digital copy, this does it all.
1
SPEAKER_00
So the Kindle Scribe, and then I ll give you two book recommendations that I m obsessed with right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
One, Lauren and I are reading together every single night.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s called 38 Letters from Rockefeller to His Son.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t remember the exact author.
1
SPEAKER_00
I found it online because I just finished a biography on Rockefeller.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what I find most interesting about this book is you have one of the most successful humans in the world at the time,
1
SPEAKER_00
writing letters intimately to his son, who s one of the most important people, if not the most important person in his life, that he never knew was going to be published, that was just meant to pass on worldly knowledge to his offspring.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you get these real intimate letters, anything on, you know, managing your emotions, finance, how to be a better person, how to be patient, all these things.
1
SPEAKER_00
And Lauren, you can validate, like, it s pretty incredible what these letters reveal, and they re still timely, and we re reading it each night together.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s a beautiful, beautiful book.
1
SPEAKER_01
It really is a good book.
1
SPEAKER_00
You said two books, what s the other one?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, and then the other one, Morgan Housel, who I really like him as an author, he wrote that book Psychology of Money, which is also phenomenal if you haven t checked that, but he just wrote a book called Same as Ever, and he s getting ready to come on the show.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think this book is so practical, especially going into the new year.
1
SPEAKER_00
We focus so much on what s going to change
1
SPEAKER_00
And we re constantly trying to future predict what s going to happen in the world.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we re having anxiety because of this, but we, we very rarely spend time on what s going to stay the same.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there s a lot of lessons there.
1
SPEAKER_00
So, um, this book by Morgan Halso, who s an incredible author called same as ever is also good.
1
SPEAKER_00
I would get that with your Kindle scribe.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m going to give you some quick little skincare gifts that I think are amazing for the skincare fanatic.
1
SPEAKER_01
The Dr. Dennis Gross Red Light Mask, you can t go wrong.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is a gift I think you could get a man, a grandpa.
1
SPEAKER_01
Your mother-in-law, you can get your friend this.
1
SPEAKER_01
It is pricey.
1
SPEAKER_01
So if you don t want to spend like $300 on a whole light mask, they have a little eye mask.
1
SPEAKER_01
And they also, and this one is really cute, have a red light lip mask.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you can go smaller.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can sort of, again, curate how much you want to spend.
1
SPEAKER_01
I think that everyone wants to open a Dr. Dennis Gross red light mask, whether it s lips, eyes, they even have
1
SPEAKER_01
a neck one.
1
SPEAKER_01
And how I like to use this is in meditation.
1
SPEAKER_01
So I ll meditate and I ll put the light mask on without any skin care on.
1
SPEAKER_01
You want to do it clean, like clean skin.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I put it on and I ll just lay there.
1
SPEAKER_01
And not only is it so good for your skin, it wakes you up.
1
SPEAKER_01
So it signals to your brain that it s time to wake up.
1
SPEAKER_01
I notice I get more energy.
1
SPEAKER_01
But the weird thing is, if I use it at night before I go to bed, it relaxes me.
1
SPEAKER_01
So it s really multifaceted that way.
1
SPEAKER_01
I, again, would recommend going online and looking at all his options when it comes to red light masks.
1
SPEAKER_01
He has an incredible amount of things to choose from.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can pick and choose how much you want to spend.
1
SPEAKER_01
Another quick, easy skincare gift is obviously the ice roller.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is so easy.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s already packaged.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s ready to go.
1
SPEAKER_01
If one of your friends doesn t have the ice roller, I think that this is such a cute gift.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can wrap it up.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can give it to them.
1
SPEAKER_01
I feel like this is also a cute gift if you have like a daughter who s 15.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I think it s fun.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s cute.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s something she wants out on her vanity.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then if you want to go
1
SPEAKER_01
like under $30, get the Epicurean Colostrum.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s a beautiful, glowy lotion that lays so nice under makeup.
1
SPEAKER_01
I recommended it to so many of my friends.
1
SPEAKER_01
My makeup artist loves using it under my makeup, but it s also so good without makeup on too.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that s one that I would gift with a beauty blender, because I like using it with my beauty blender.
1
SPEAKER_01
Those are three skincare gifts that you could really gift anyone.
1
SPEAKER_01
Michael also uses the Colostrum cream.
1
SPEAKER_01
Which I don t know what to say.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like the colossum cream.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, every holiday season, the dads out there, the men out there, what do we get?
1
SPEAKER_00
We get socks, we get ties, we get shirts.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t really want any of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
It sits in the closet.
1
SPEAKER_00
We didn t pick it out.
1
SPEAKER_00
So if I was going to pick a pair of sunglasses as a gift and again, get away from boring socks on this, I would definitely go the classic Ray-Bans, pick the Aviator or the classic Wayfarer, depending on the style the person has.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ve gone back and forth on both.
1
SPEAKER_00
Obviously, you can get these at Sunglass Hut.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re timeless glasses.
1
SPEAKER_00
They ve lasted generations and you can t go wrong.
1
SPEAKER_00
So get away from the socks and the underwear and all the boring stuff and get somebody looking stylish.
1
SPEAKER_01
Here s what I did.
1
SPEAKER_01
I actually had the opportunity to go into Sunglass Hut and feel and see all the different brands that they had.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I ve shopped there since I was literally 12 years old.
1
SPEAKER_01
I remember going to like UTC Mall in La Jolla and going in and finding sunglasses.
1
SPEAKER_01
Michael knows this.
1
SPEAKER_01
I have a sunglass addiction.
1
SPEAKER_01
Out of all my addictions, it s sunglasses.
1
SPEAKER_01
So I actually went into the one in Austin and got to try everything on.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I ended up picking up the cutest pair of sunglasses for my Cabo trip.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re Burberry.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that surprised me.
1
SPEAKER_01
I ve never had a pair of Burberry sunglasses.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re evergreen.
1
SPEAKER_01
So they re pretty deep green.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I really like how they look with my new brown hair.
1
SPEAKER_01
And the shape is perfect.
1
SPEAKER_01
But it was fun to actually go in the store and see all the brands.
1
SPEAKER_01
Some other brands that they have are Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Ray-Ban, Oakley, like I said, Burberry.
1
SPEAKER_01
This holiday, there are 10 shades only available at Sunglass Hut.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you can go in.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can try everything on.
1
SPEAKER_01
But also, you can pick up a gift.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can get 50% off a new pair if they break or damage their sunnies within 12 months of purchase.
1
SPEAKER_01
So if you gift someone sunglasses and they break or damage their sunglasses within 12 months, they can go back into the store.
1
SPEAKER_01
They have this thing called sun love protection plan.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s in stores and online, and this allows you to protect your sunnies for 13 months against any damages.
1
SPEAKER_01
If they do get damaged, you drop into the store and you trade in your old pair for a brand new pair for just $40.
1
SPEAKER_01
They also have tons of spare parts.
1
SPEAKER_01
They just have you covered.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I think that if you want to go there and you want to gift your dad a pair of sunglasses, like Michael said, I would do Ray-Bans for dad.
1
SPEAKER_01
I have Ray-Bans for my dad that I ve gifted him like three times.
1
SPEAKER_00
The Aviators or the Wayfarer.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re the best.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then you could gift like your mom or your stepmom something and then maybe your sister and maybe even your boyfriend.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s always fun to just go and grab all the gifts at once.
1
SPEAKER_01
They have PayPal, Klarna, and Zip.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you can go in, you can buy now, pay later.
1
SPEAKER_01
Go in there, get some gifts for all different members of the family.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you can check that off your list and definitely check out my evergreen Burberry sunglasses.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m obsessed and I think I m going to end up gifting the exact pair to my sister.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And like I said, you can t go wrong because even if you buy a style or a gift for somebody and it maybe doesn t fit their face right and they don t like it, they can go in the store.
1
SPEAKER_00
The customer service in there is incredible.
1
SPEAKER_00
and they can go and find something that fits or just save the gift receipt.
1
SPEAKER_00
But like I said, I don t think you can go wrong with the classic Wayfair or the Ray-Ban aviators.
1
SPEAKER_00
They look good on everyone.
1
SPEAKER_01
Moving right along to blankets.
1
SPEAKER_01
If there is someone that you know that you have not gifted a Barefoot Dreams blanket to, you are missing out.

SPEAKER_01
Michael, how many Barefoot Dreams blankets do we have?
1
SPEAKER_00
I think you just gift them to yourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t believe it.
1
SPEAKER_01
You use them every single night.
2
SPEAKER_01
I know, but listen, I m not saying I don t like them, I m just saying I can t believe how many we have.
2
SPEAKER_00
We literally have two upstairs in the guest room closet, we have three in our room, our dogs take one, we have two downstairs, we have one in the stroller, and we have two in the wagon.
2
SPEAKER_01
Remember we had the barefoot dreams, like even the sweaters?
2
SPEAKER_00
We have sweaters.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have the socks.
2
SPEAKER_00
Not only that, I just bought the, this is so good.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just bought Townes, this buttery soft one that s Navy and it s for the stroller.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so it s little.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I was getting really frustrated because I would get this huge barefoot dreams blanket and like be walking and he would literally take it and throw it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then the stroller wheel would like go over the barefoot dreams blanket.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I was like, I need to solve this.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I go online and I Google mini barefoot dreams blanket and up comes the stroller blanket.
2
SPEAKER_00
Of course, they thought of it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I got the one in Navy.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m obsessed with this.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is the best gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
If you have someone who has a baby like I m going to go by 10, I m not joking and give them to all my friends that have a baby.
2
SPEAKER_00
Uh, if you want to just give a gift to like your mother-in-law or someone you work with, this is a beautiful gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
I heard about these blankets through Kris Jenner.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m sure you ve seen every one of the Kardashians carrying these blankets.
2
SPEAKER_00
I will not travel without one of these blankets.
2
SPEAKER_00
My kids love them.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love them on the plane.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love when I get off the plane.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes I ll even put them in my bag so they don t touch the plane and I ll use them in the hotel.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just love them.
2
SPEAKER_00
I can t say enough good things.
2
SPEAKER_00
The one that I like right now is actually not the leopard print anymore.
2
SPEAKER_00
I like the just plain tan ones.
2
SPEAKER_00
And here s a tip.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s kind of gross, but just do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Don t wash them for as long as you possibly can.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like we have one that I don t think we ve ever washed in like 30 years.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s the one I don t really use.
2
SPEAKER_01
But anyways.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, that s why he has to clean out his nasal passage.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, that s why I got the nasal, again, so you can get the blanket and the nasal cleaner and you ll be fine.
2
SPEAKER_01
This nasal cleaner is getting a lot of coverage on this show.
2
SPEAKER_00
What s next?
2
SPEAKER_01
All right.
2
SPEAKER_01
For me, one of the last things that I want to recommend here on this is we re heading into the new year.
2
SPEAKER_01
Everyone wants to feel like their best self.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m a big planner.
2
SPEAKER_01
Lauren is not.
2
SPEAKER_01
I feel a lot of the
2
SPEAKER_01
limited stress that I have in my life is when I have a plan.
2
SPEAKER_01
It doesn t always go to plan, but when I at least have a basic understanding of what I m doing with my time, we just had our friend Jesse Itzler on our podcast.
2
SPEAKER_01
That episode has not gone live yet, but it is incredible.
2
SPEAKER_01
I think we re going to put it out in the new year or maybe right before the new year, probably in the new year.
2
SPEAKER_01
Anyways, he has a company
2
SPEAKER_01
that, and again, we re not affiliated, we just like what he s doing.
2
SPEAKER_01
And this company produces a product called the Big Ass Calendar.
2
SPEAKER_01
And this is a huge calendar.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s like a poster board size, looks like a poster you d put up in your room as a kid.
2
SPEAKER_01
And in one place has every single day of the year lined out in these little boxes.
2
SPEAKER_01
And what he does is he sells this calendar with these little post-it notes that fit perfectly in the box.
2
SPEAKER_01
And what you can do is you can map out your whole year.
2
SPEAKER_01
So
2
SPEAKER_01
For Lauren and I, for example, we can say, okay, like during this time, we re going to be in these places, either going to be couples or we re going to be with ourselves or with our children.
2
SPEAKER_01
This is recording.
2
SPEAKER_01
This is what my goals are.
2
SPEAKER_01
And you can map out and see visually what you re doing with your whole year.
2
SPEAKER_01
I think I started doing it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I haven t even showed Lauren in our office.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it s really helpful because you see these blocks of time where either you have more time or less time or where things are getting chaotic or less chaotic.
2
SPEAKER_01
You can put your vacations in there.
2
SPEAKER_01
You can put your time in the office there, whatever you might be.
2
SPEAKER_01
But it s really helpful to just look at one giant piece of paper and see your whole year in one place and then kind of sit there and strategize.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I think heading into the new year, it s a perfect gift for anybody.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it s cool.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s a really good one.
2
SPEAKER_01
A big ass calendar is what it s called.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s not crazy expensive.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like that s a really good one.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, anyone can use a big ass calendar.
2
SPEAKER_01
I, sorry, Jesse, I believe it s if you just go to jesseitzler.com or if you just search the big ass calendar by Jesse Itzler, it will pop up.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m sure you guys know how to use Google by this time.
2
SPEAKER_01
So yeah, big ass calendar, check it out.
2
SPEAKER_01
Anyone can use a calendar heading into the new year.
2
SPEAKER_01
Great gift, affordable, lets people know you re thinking of them.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let them know we sent you.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m going to give a bunch of my recs because I have little recs.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
The first one is Baccarat glasses.
2
SPEAKER_00
So chic.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is a little more pricier, but like who doesn t want a vodka soda or a margarita out of a Baccarat glass?
2
SPEAKER_00
It feels so heavy in your hand, which is amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
It feels rich.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s taken me eight years to get six glasses, Lauren.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
But you can give someone one.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, one glass.
2
SPEAKER_00
By the way, if someone s listening, I would love a Baccarat glass.
2
SPEAKER_01
In eight years, you might have a collection.
2
SPEAKER_00
So what though?
2
SPEAKER_00
That s cute.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love collecting slow.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think it s chic.
2
SPEAKER_00
So a Baccarat glass is amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Something that is a little less expensive is the hatch.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think everyone should go grab a hatch alarm clock.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is how we wake up every single morning and how we go to bed every single night.
2
SPEAKER_01
True.
2
SPEAKER_00
We wake up to birds singing in our room with the perfect light because the hatch wakes you up like a sunset or excuse me, a sunrise.
2
SPEAKER_01
It puts you to bed with, you can set it however you want.
2
SPEAKER_01
We set it to go to bed with red light.
2
SPEAKER_01
So it s just no, no bright light in the room.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s just red.
2
SPEAKER_01
And in the morning it slowly mimics the rise of the sun and it doesn t do any kind of noise.
2
SPEAKER_01
And so it starts, like you can set it for five 30, but it ll slowly go.
2
SPEAKER_01
And maybe like between five 30 and six, it slowly wakes you up.
2
SPEAKER_01
So it s just like, it s like natural circadian rhythm waking up.
2
SPEAKER_01
As close to as you can get.
2
SPEAKER_00
The best thing about it is that it has this meditation voice, this guy who I m obsessed with.
2
SPEAKER_00
And whenever I turn it on, the guy makes my kids wind down.
2
SPEAKER_00
My kids associate the sound of the hatch with the red light to like it s time to go to bed.
2
SPEAKER_00
The dogs love it.
2
SPEAKER_00
There is no light in our room.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s also chic.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want it out.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s white.
2
SPEAKER_00
They also have one that comes in beige.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think this is such a good gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
So go get a hatch.
2
SPEAKER_00
Another thing, a canopy humidifier.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can t go wrong with this.
2
SPEAKER_00
If someone is really into skin care, this is great for your skin.
2
SPEAKER_00
I did a co-brand with them.
2
SPEAKER_00
I believe in it so much.
2
SPEAKER_00
I did a skinny confidential times canopy humidifier.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s good for your skin.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s good for your hair.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s good for allergies.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love our humidifier.
2
SPEAKER_00
I especially love it, though, when my kids or we are sick.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, it is so amazing if you re sick.
2
SPEAKER_00
And the one that they have has no mold, and it s pretty.
2
SPEAKER_00
So go check them out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Another great brand to gift, I gifted my dad all of their supplements, is Symbiotica.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is a no-brainer.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can go to theskinnyconfidential.com.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can see all the ones I like.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have elderberry.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have magnesium.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have magnesium spray that you can put on your body.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have glutathione.
2
SPEAKER_00
They really have everything, and I cannot name one person that doesn t want to wake up to a huge box of Symbiotica.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s just such a good gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
It comes in little packets that you can put in your purse.
2
SPEAKER_00
You could get three boxes.
2
SPEAKER_00
You could get one.
2
SPEAKER_00
Again, you could curate it to how much you want to spend.
2
SPEAKER_00
Another gift that I think is great for a skincare lover is Agent Nature.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have beautiful serums.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have a body serum that I like.
2
SPEAKER_00
I use their body serum with my body sculptor all the time.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I put the body serum all over my body, and then I ll use my body sculptor to lift and tighten and tone my legs, especially if I m wearing shorts or I m going in a bikini.
2
SPEAKER_00
I also use it on my arms.
2
SPEAKER_00
It gives me a really pretty glow.
2
SPEAKER_00
And they have a gorgeous, stunning,
2
SPEAKER_00
face serum.
2
SPEAKER_00
Their products are just 10 out of 10.
2
SPEAKER_00
Everyone will love their products.
2
SPEAKER_00
And if you re if you re getting something like cosmetic, I think Henry Rose is another fantastic gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is non-toxic perfume and cologne.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s unisex.
2
SPEAKER_00
Michael and I love Windows Down.
2
SPEAKER_00
Michelle Pfeiffer is the founder.
2
SPEAKER_00
She s come on the show.
2
SPEAKER_00
This brand, I love to do the travel ones like I put them in my cosmetic bag or I have like the big one sitting on
2
SPEAKER_00
my counter, and I like it, like I said, because it s non-toxic.
2
SPEAKER_00
Speaking of non-toxic, if you want to get like a starter kit for family or friends, Branch Basics, amazing, the starter kit, change someone s life, like just redo their entire cleaning cabinet without them asking.
2
SPEAKER_00
I might do this for your mom, by the way.
2
SPEAKER_00
Just get them the Branch Basics starter kit.
2
SPEAKER_01
You re going to hear about that one on the holiday.
2
SPEAKER_00
And just get rid of the Windex, OK?
2
SPEAKER_00
Another non-toxic product, if we re going to talk about it, is Caraway.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m obsessed with their beige pans.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have the set of seven.
2
SPEAKER_00
They have so many different colors.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think this, again, is like such a classy gift.
2
SPEAKER_00
And lastly, of course, you know I m going to say it, I think the gift of the year is the Skinny Confidential Butter Brush.
2
SPEAKER_00
Michael, I m going to hand it to you because I cannot pull this out of your hands.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s my favorite product you ve done.
2
SPEAKER_01
I obviously love the other ones, but this one, if you re into the lymph system, which you
3
SPEAKER_01
There s going to be a lot more coming about with the lymph system.
3
SPEAKER_01
A lot of people have been talking about it.
3
SPEAKER_01
But for me, what I ve discovered, I figured out all these different things in my wellness routine, but the lymph system to get things moving in your body is so important.
3
SPEAKER_01
And so what I do whenever I m cold plunging or I m doing the sauna or I m getting out of the showers, I use Lauren s body brush.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m telling you, once you start using it, you ll be addicted.
3
SPEAKER_01
I use it on my neck, I use it on my arms, I use it on my body.
3
SPEAKER_01
Everyone can use it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Just get the lymph moving and you re going to feel so energized and feel great after using it.
3
SPEAKER_01
I think it s the best product you ve done.
3
SPEAKER_01
I know like the ice roller is the is an absolute icon and hero, but I think this one s this one takes the cake for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
Why it takes the cake, you guys, for him is because he likes instant gratification.
3
SPEAKER_00
And this is one of those products that you do and you feel it right away.
3
SPEAKER_00
It is like crack cocaine.
3
SPEAKER_00
And once you do it, you want to do it every day.
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, no.
3
SPEAKER_01
And what I like is like, you can use it on me.
3
SPEAKER_01
I could use it on myself.
3
SPEAKER_01
Like it s, it just feels great.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s honestly, and you know, I ve used body brushes before, but I ve never really gotten into them.
3
SPEAKER_01
Cause they ve been a little flimsier.
3
SPEAKER_01
They just been a little creaky, crusty.
3
SPEAKER_01
And this one, like this one is substantial.
3
SPEAKER_01
And so.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, a lot of them had mold on it, like a lot of the wood ones, they get moldy.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I wanted to create one that didn t get mold.
3
SPEAKER_00
And also, this is so weird.
3
SPEAKER_00
I could never find one that was strong enough.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I actually went to HomeGoods like eight years ago and I bought a dishwasher brush and I was using a dishwasher brush on my body.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I wanted to create one that that had that strength, but then was all natural.
3
SPEAKER_00
So ours is all natural.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s made from boar bristles as opposed to artificial bristles that are dyed.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I really think it hits all the points.
3
SPEAKER_00
And once you guys try it before a freezing cold shower, I just can t.
