Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hello, welcome to we need to talk. Christmas shopping season
is upon us, and I thought i'd try and ease
the bird in a wee bit and share some of
the ideas in my life that I think would be
good today. It's for the preteen or teenage boys. Let's
start at helen Stein's. For nineteen dollars, you can get
a really cool pair of sonnies, and I feel like
this is the age where boys are really starting to

(00:26):
embrace the sunnies, the ones I specifically looked at with
the Catalina charcoal sonnies. This fine from Swandry, I think
is the coolest thing I've seen hunting and fishing dot
co dot nz. It's the Cyclone Extreme retro jacket and
it's like a normal swan Dry, but it's kind of
been a hood has been attached to make it slightly

(00:48):
more urban and it's super funky for one hundred and
nine dollars. Comes in lots of different colors, so there's
blue and green and red and pink, lots of different
shades of pink. I think they would get so much
new out of those if they're into their tech, So
whether it's an iPad or if you've got them a
phone already, caseify. I've got a couple of cases for phones,

(01:09):
and I've got my girls a couple for their iPads
and they love it. And you could get one to
suit them, like I was on the site the other
day and they have things like Spider Man cases or
Star Wars. You could get anything that suits their particular hobby.
Long socks. I've talked about these a few times. Culture
Kings does it best. You can get three pairs of
those long white Nikes, all the long white Jordans for

(01:32):
thirty dollars. I reckon that would make an amazing stocking stuffer. Again,
Culture Kings is great for that, but I assume you
would be able to get the same at Rebel Sport
as well. Ethhaica Underwear now Ehaca is the cool underwear
brand for boys at the moment. If you haven't heard
of them, Ethica spelt Ethka for twenty nine ninety nine.

(01:54):
They essentially look like long bike shorts and it's cool
for them to just pop out underneath the shore or
show above the just above the tummy line, and they
come in a whole myriad of different colors and designs
and you just basically pick the one that fits your child.
The best basketball shorts are massive. This wasn't the Girl's
Guide as well, every kid around me is wearing them.

(02:17):
There's a pair of dry fits Sport diamond shorts from
Culture Kings for fifty nine dollars and lots of different colors,
and that is what the hot item is I know
for boy shorts this Christmas. I've also put down here
the GoPro. Now, this is an expensive item, so this
would be a really special present. But perhaps you might
be going in with someone else to get one big gift.

(02:39):
If you were, this could be a good option for you.
Mighty Ape again does great prices on the go pros,
but you could go to stores like Harvey Norman and
No Leaving as well. Are safe. This is random, but
there are some amazing safes at Bunnings, dot Co, dot enz.
They're the mini safes and there's a particularly cool one
in the Yale Blue E three dollars. And I just

(03:01):
think there is a fascination with locking things away and
just keeping things private at this age group, so I
think that would be a really cool gift. The boys
have told me that the FIFA twenty twenty five video
game is the hot ticket this year as well. So
whether that's for the PlayStation, the Nintendo Switch, or wherever
they do their gaming, FIFA twenty twenty five is the

(03:23):
game that everyone wants. Just back on the basketball train,
the basketball Singer, you can't go past that. And Rebel
Sport has some amazing ones. I'm looking at a Jordan's
singlet here eighty nine dollars. And just while I talk
about that, football tops are really into, and Rebel Sport
I know has some really cool messy tops as well.
These one particular one in pink that I know a

(03:45):
lot of boys are after. What about a record player?
This is really random, but there's been a big throwback
to playing records, and I don't think if you're looking
for a sort of younger looking one, Mighty Ape has
one called the Cross and it comes in blues and
greens or black and white. I think there's a pink
one as well, for one hundred and ninety seven dollars.

(04:07):
If you're looking for a game Cards Against Humanity, make
sure you get the family addition, not the adult version,
because the adult version's quite rude forty six dollars from
Mighty Ape. That's actually what my nine year old daughter
has asked for, but I suspect it be really popular
with the boys as well. Happy shopping.
