Speaker 1 (00:05):
It's getting there and you know, everyone in the US
celebrated Thanksgiving thispast weekend Yep, we're
recording this beforeThanksgiving, but it's the
landing post.
So I thought it would be fun tohave an episode about gift
giving, and I imagine thatbuying gifts for coaches or
(00:27):
people who are into personaldevelopment or like spiritual
stuff is difficult maybe for theaverage person to purchase for,
and so I found this list ofgifts that you could give
someone who's into personaldevelopment, who's a coach,
who's into wellness and maybespirituality that they would
(00:52):
really like, that you might notthink to get them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, like the lobster shaped heating pad.
Cover number 34 on our list.
No, not that.
Maybe, not that one, yeah,maybe not that one.
Lobster and eating.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's funny because, like I always think I'm such an
easy person to shop for.
You know, like I, there's somany things that I can think of
that I would want, right, andpeople tell me that I'm, like,
one of the most difficult peopleon their Christmas list to shop
for.
Yeah, and so I'm thinking thatthis, this, hopefully, this list
is going to help peopleunderstand what people like me
(01:36):
or, you know, someone who's acoach in your life or someone
who's interested in personaldevelopment I don't even know if
it's personal development, butjust interested in different
things might want.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
A person who's interested in things they might
want, some of the things thatwe're going to talk about during
this episode.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I mean we can't make it any more clear than that.
No, we can't.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But these are like things with like, yeah, a
personal development, a coachingenthusiast, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Self care maybe self care.
Sit in self care.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Person.
Let's just get into the list.
Number 19 on the list is asmall desktop pink refrigerator
and I can tell you I have this.
I don't have a pink one, I havemine.
Looks identical to the photobut is of a different brand name
and mine is black and I can seeit If I look over my monitor.
(02:32):
Past you, Atlanta banks, I cansee it over there my desktop
office refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And I love that thing , I love it.
How much, like how many cans ofsomething fits in it.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It can hold six cans of pop comfortably.
And some people use these aslike self care refrigerators,
like they keep their creams andlotion stuff in them.
I keep.
I keep drinks in mine, so Idon't have to keep them in the
(03:05):
communal fridge down the hall inmy own little private fridge.
I love that thing was not tooexpensive.
If I didn't own it and somebodygave it to me as a gift, I
would really like it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Cool, and does it?
Is it just as cold as a regularfridge?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh, absolutely, it's a real fridge, for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And you plug it into the wall, not into your computer
.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, every now and then it shuts down is like sorry
, I need to upgrade my software,your drinks will be warm for
two hours and then no, justplugged into the wall and into a
regular plug.
Yeah, regular plug comes with.
The cord works out of the box.
I bought mine on Amazon.
There's some unsubscribes rightthere.
The anti Amazon crowds want youto still shop at Amazon how
(03:54):
dare you.
Oh well, so if you see that thedownloads go down next week,
landmakes, because I admittedthat I'd buy stuff from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's okay, I do too .
Yeah, I mean you know what Ialso saw on the list.
If we're on the theme offridges, I saw one that you can
plug in in your car on here.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I used to have a fridge in my car when I was a
private investigator and I wason the road a lot oh that makes
sense.
I had a working refrigerator inmy car, a little one.
It was shaped like an armrest.
It was really cool.
You could actually.
It had a switch on the front.
It could also heat, so you flipthe switch and the inside of it
(04:38):
would like pretty quickly gofrom being really cold to really
hot.
It was this cool and it pluggedinto the car and it was also
like a cooler.
So even when the car's powerwas off, you know it would keep
stuff in there cool for a whileafter you turned off the car.
That thing was cool.
If you know somebody who iscrazy and spends 12 hours a day
(05:00):
in their car, like I used to aspart of the job.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah Well, that's what this thing is.
It's a travel fridge with carcharger.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What number is that?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
on the list Number 19 .
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Number 19.
Oh okay, so that one's.
Oh okay, so it's a little bitdifferent, you know what though,
now that I think about it, minemight have come with a car
plugin as well the one that Ihave in my office but it
definitely came with a wallplugin, as I use it in my office
.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, cause this one says it's good also to keep your
lotions and eye masks and stufflike that, rollers perfectly
chilled, cool, put your eye maskin there?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Probably enough talking about that fridge.
Yeah, let's move on Number 23.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Now I'm so excited about number 23 that I have to
have two turns in a row.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I have to Okay.
Himalayan salt lamp.
I have two of these at my place.
I should bring one to theoffice.
Actually.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I like these salt lamps.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I just like the look of them.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Me too, I like the look of them.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They're good.
You know, I like the vibe.
Some people think they havelike health benefits or
energetic benefits, and I don'tknow whether that's true or not,
but I just love the style of agood salt lamp with a little
wooden base.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's all inside, it glows.
It's like something out ofIndiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and it's like a nice way to like, you know,
bring the vibe down in theevening.
You know, if you don't wantbright lights, you just turn
those on, and it's just like anice, like candlelight.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Fire up your salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, set the mood.
I used to have one and then,when my kids were very little,
they knocked it over and brokeit and I've never replaced it.
But I got it as a gift, which Ithought was the nicest gift.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The great gift when I was gifted the salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's kind of one of those things you don't want to
buy.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I bought two.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But, yeah.
Well, maybe because the firsttime I ever had when I had been
gifted it.
So I was like, oh, that's cool.
I don't know if I would haveever bought this, but this is a
lovely gift.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
If you know somebody who's into like personal
development or like kind of likemeditation, if they don't have
salt lamp, get them a salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, and they're cheap.
I was just grocery shopping atMetro the other day and they had
them at the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Like a no name salt lamp in the yellow box with a
black writing salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't know what it was.
It was in like the healthy foodsection or like where they sell
vitamins and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I did one time lick one of my salt lamps just out of
curiosity.
Very salty, genuine salt.
Yep, very salty, really.
A big chunk of sodium.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah Well, while we're on the topic of lights,
there's also this really coolnumber six.
It's a wake up light, sunrisealarm clock.
So rather than being likejolted awake by, like an
annoying sound, this is likesunlight beaming into your room
(07:53):
in the morning to wake you up.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of cool.
I don't have one of those, butI've heard good things.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
And then right below it isnumber seven, which is an
acupressure mat and pillow set.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, I wouldn't use that if somebody gave me that.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, it has needles in it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Does it no?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Without the needles Not needles.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
it's like little.
Yeah, I mean, this one's alittle bit more risky.
I think Some people probablywould really like that, but I
don't know that I wouldn't likeit.
It's just that I know that Iwouldn't use it, like I would
try it once and then it would belike in the closet permanently.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah yeah it's one of those things where you'd
probably use it for a week andthen you're like oh, bring it
away now because the cleaninglight is coming, and then you
know, bring it back out.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That reminds me I gotta recharge my massage gun.
That's a good gift.
I don't know if it's on thislist or not, but a massage gun.
You're looking at $100 plus fora decent massage gun, but
that's a good gift.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That is a nice gift.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, if somebody doesn't have one, but they gotta
actually enjoy a massage.
Like some people never go formassages or not into it at all.
They're not gonna use a massagegun, but if you know somebody
who wants to pulverize theirmuscles with a mechanical device
, like I do, it's a great gift.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, Number two.
I like I've been wanting these.
Actually they're Eucalyptusessential oil shower steamers.
So you just like plop that inyour shower, I guess, and then
the steam of the shower justlike makes the smell of the
(09:43):
steamer.
Is that how it?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
works Like the humidity of the shower causes it
?
I think so off gas Eucalyptusfumes that smell nice.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, like I put, I always have fresh Eucalyptus in
the shower, but it only worksfor the first couple of days and
then it gets dry and then youdon't really smell it as much.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of upkeep.
To have like constant freshEucalyptus in your shower, you'd
have to have like Eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I think it'd be so cool to have like a live
Eucalyptus wall or ceiling ofyour shower and then you just
like get in there every morningand it's just like you're at the
spa or you're in like a jungleor something.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I wonder if that's doable or how much light a
Eucalyptus plant needs.
Could you just have the plantin your bathroom?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
What it needs to be like.
I buy it fresh, but it's notplanted Like.
It's just from the flower areaat the garden.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Could you have like a pot with?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
soil A potted Eucalyptus.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I don't know like is it too big?
Is it like a banana tree?
And it's like massive.
So you can't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't know.
I'm gonna look into thatactually later.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Listeners tune in next time on Gardening with Ryan
Lauches, where we'll uncoverthe mysteries of bathroom-grown
Eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah Well have you seen these.
I've seen these ads and thismight be a cool gift too.
It's not on the list, but it'sa crystal infused shower head,
so it's like a shower headthat's full of crystals and you
screw it onto your showerwhatever tap, and so the water
(11:34):
goes through the crystal tubeand then out of the shower head,
so you're being showered withcrystal infused water.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think if you're gonna give that as a gift, you
need to reserve that one for themost woo-woo of your woo-woo
pals.
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's not a.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Ryan Lauches gift.
Love the idea, love the idea.
But I'm not installing that inmy shower, In your shower.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's too much for me, that's too much for me,
that's too much.
It is a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Like one notch too much.
You know, Would you have that?
Would you use that?
If somebody gave that to you,would you install it in the
bathroom?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I probably would.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, you would.
So, if you know Atlanta.
Banks, she's dropping hintshere.
People Get her that crystalinfused shower head, cool okay.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't know if it would be compatible, though it
depends.
I don't know if it would becompatible with my shower.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You could just call up your local plumber Say hey,
I've got this very specialshower head.
I need you to install, you know.
Yeah yeah, there you go bylocal.
Okay, what else we got here?
Water bottle yeah boring.
Don't buy people a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Boring water bottle, unless it's got some special.
Yeah, maybe there's somespecial water bottles, like one
that's made out of stone.
I saw that one time.
That was kind of cool.
A chunk of rose quartz tomassage with, that's kind of a
cool idea.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh, you know what I think that is?
What number is it?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
36.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh God, I lost the list here.
No, never mind.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's called a Guasha tool.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, so you know what that is.
You put oil on your face andthen you use it to smooth your
skin and it's supposed to bereally stimulating for your skin
.
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I wouldn't, mind that that stuff's pretty good, it
works.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, it totally works.
There's a weighted blanket onhere.
Have you ever used a weightedblanket?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I have not.
I have not.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I haven't either.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I've heard good things.
The people who use them seem tolike them.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying one Tranquility weighted
blanket.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
There you go.
Number 43 is an essential oildiffuser.
Those things are cool.
They put that little puff ofmist behind you.
You can use your essential oils.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I've had a couple of these over the years.
My objection is they break,they get gunked up.
You get bored of them after awhile.
Yeah, I don't know, it's goingto depend on the person.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It is a nice gift, though.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, it is a nice gift.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
You know what I think is a really great gift.
I don't know if it'snecessarily on this list, but
really nice quality sheets.
If you're new to mattress sizeand give someone a sheet set
that is high thread count or areally good quality flannel
sheet set, that would be alovely gift.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's a lovely gift.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
That's a lovely gift for anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
For anybody A bit on the pricier end.
Yeah, Again.
Yeah, that's up there with themassage gun, maybe even more, oh
yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Like we're looking at , maybe like $400.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, we didn't say this was the budget gift.
No, it's talking gifts.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, we're just talking gifts.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It was a gold bar, beautiful gift, just like a bar
of actual pure 24 karat gold.
What would you do with that,though they were beautiful gifts
.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Put it on your desk.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I don't know.
I would probably not put it onmy desk.
My office has glass walls.
Somebody walking by could justsee it and break the glass and
take it.
I probably would put it in asafe I don't know Gold bar.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, gold bar.
I didn't even know you couldbuy those.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You can.
You can order them from theRoyal Canadian Mint.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Oh, that's cool, oh that's like a nice little gift
for maybe like a specialChristmas or something.
Actually, you know what?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Joking aside, an actual full-size gold bar is
worth a ton of money.
But on a more everyday scale,from the Mint and even if you're
outside of Canada there's othersources for this you can order
little, tiny gold coins that arelike pure gold and they're
stamped, sometimes with designsor with the name of the facility
(16:29):
that made them or whatever youcan get, and they usually come
in gift packaging.
You can give people like a tinylittle gold coin that's worth
whatever amount really that youwant, because there's all
different sizes.
That would be kind of,depending on the person, a
unique and potentially veryspecial gift, because how many
people have like an actual goldcoin?
(16:50):
Right, yeah, they own.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Not many Holds right.
Yeah, not many, that's not onthe list.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's a Ryan Montes idea.
Yeah, that's just straight outof your noggin I just straight
out of it, because I've thoughtabout buying it just for myself
as a novelty.
But I haven't All you fearlesscat burglars out there.
I don't have any gold orprecious metals of any sort at
my home or office, Not yet.
I think this is cool.
I like that one.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
There's a bunch of like journal type things and
cards.
I keep losing the list.
Hang on yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Gratitude journals, those coloring books, mandela
coloring books, yeah, there'slike, yeah, some of those
Mandela coloring books.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But then I saw something else.
It was really cute.
It was like a bear.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh, the bear.
I saw the bear.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Did you see it?
I think it's down.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's after the lobster, number 38.
Hug in a box it's called.
What is this thing?
Send this adorable care packageto anyone who's been going
through a rough time.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Is that what you were looking at?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Number 38.
The hug in a box Teddy bear.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, A box full of hugs, love, kindness, cheer,
laughter fun.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So I think they're just like cards and you just
pull it out and it's just likeprobably a nice message.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh, okay, yeah, Okay, I didn't realize that's what
was going on.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I also liked the first one.
It's a jar of positive messagesin a bottle and it's little
capsules and you open up acapsule and read a positive
message every day.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's what that is.
I was just right over thatbecause I thought it was some
kind of supplement or something.
It's okay.
So it's made to look like apill bottle, like a medication,
but it's not.
It's little motivational,friendly messages that you
unravel and they're sort of likethe shape of a pill.
Okay, that's kind of cool.
That's cute, that's kind ofcool.
And it says on the bottle thereopen one capsule and read
(18:48):
positive message on the insideone time a day or as needed.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh, that's nice.
Okay, that's a cute littlething.
Sure, this is nice too, thenatural aroma therapy lavender
heat pillow.
So you probably put it in themicrowave, or you could put it
in your office fridge.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, my office.
Oh, if I want it cold, myoffice fridge is cold.
Only it was the old school carfridge that could make things
hot.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's long gone, long gone, but this one you can
microwave this one or you canput it in the fridge.
The freezer.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But it smells like lavender and you just put it on
whatever your eyes, probably, oryour neck.
This looks cool too.
The infinity pillow.
Infinity pillow a supportiveneck scarf like a wearable
pillow.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
For frequent travelers.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, I'm not into it .
Yeah, I would never bring thatwith me.
Like it sounds amazing, butthey should just have them on
the plane.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It does not sound or look amazing to me.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I feel like you get your hands on this thing and
it's not like you think likeyeah Well, if you have to sit
like that with your arms in it,that might not be comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, have you seen thatostrich pillow where you put
your head into it and then, youlike, just put your head down on
the table.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, I've seen different variations of those.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, that's not comfortable
for me to sleep like that.
I see people sleeping on planeslike that where they're just
like folded over in half.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm more of a like put my head to the side, yeah,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I don't know if those work for you, great.
Don't give me that as a giftbecause, like I don't, it's
really personal if the if that'sgoing to work.
Those weird pillows like.
Back to number thirty four, thelobster heating pad.
It's looking better and better.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I like that.
I think that's a cool gift.
It's a cute little gift to givesomeone.
Also this teedrops box.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, teedrop box, or it's like an assortment of teas
and a wooden box.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's always you know, but that's kind of more
like a teacher gift.
You know you give that to, yougive that to someone you don't
really know and also like youknow it's giving a person a tea
variety pack, like it's a prettyunique, like individual thing,
what types of tea person likesand if they like tea.
So I mean, if you've got a teaperson, sure, what about this
(21:30):
giving?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
heart pillow so you can give this heart pillow and
they can like squeeze it andfeel the love.
Yeah, it's a nice gift for,like a friend that's far away,
not into it.
It's a reminder, maybe it'smore of like a girly thing.
What number is that?
Number 20.
Speaker 2 (21:51):

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, it's just a heart shaped pillow, though.
Yeah, but it's just like areminder.
It's just like, like you know,those glow, those glow stuffies.
I always see them on InstagramLow stuffies.
I think they're like glow upstuffies and like if you they're
like attached, so you use themfor your kids too.
(22:12):
It's just like I'm thinkingabout you and it glows.
And then when, when the animalglows, then they know that the
other person that has the otherone is thinking about you.
And then, when the animal glows, then they know that the other
person that has the other one isthinking about them.
Oh wow, that's kind ofinteresting.
Yeah, it's cute.
(22:32):
Like I just think of that for,like, when my kids go to like
university or something orthey're not at home.
I can just do like you knowyeah glow, glow the stuffie.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I got you.
I think we covered most of thegood ones, like a bathtub tray
so you can have a littleorganizer in front of you when
you're laying in the tub and youcan have your wine glass and
your smartphone.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I wouldn't want that.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, it kind of depends too much how people do
their baths.
I'm productive in my bath.
I've got the laptop andwatching Netflix Chocolate
vegetables, so I could use that.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I don't even think this would fit on my tub Like I
think it would be more for likeone of those freestanding tugs.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No, I think you could make it work Wherever and it's
adjustable.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That was adjustable.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh, it's slides.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
This is like a really fancy one.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, it's a fancy tub productivity organizer.
I don't know what you call it,because in the photo, in the
organizer, like the variety ofthings that this person has
access to, there's like shampooand soap, but also a smartphone
playing a music video, but alsolike a stand for a book, two
(23:57):
different things of nuts, aglass of that's clearly sangria.
They've got a rolled up towelin the organizer and there's
like a drawer pulled out thathas a soap, I think that's so
open it yeah.
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And a candle.
Oh yeah, I missed the candle.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
There's a candle there as well.
It's like this is for theprofessional bathtub user.
Yeah, like you're in there fora few hours.
Yeah, this is the person thathas the little pink refrigerator
next to them with the drinksinside.
So if you I mean if you know,if you know somebody that needs
(24:39):
this thing like you know no, thethat person, I'll give me the
glasses.
Sangria, though I haven't hadsome.
Haven't had sangria in a longtime.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Mm, hmm, um, I like this one.
We can make this one the lastone, these mindfulness cards.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So you just pick a card and you know it probably
gives you some sort of quoteabout a mindfulness practice.
I was thinking of doingvalidation card.
Well, you gave me that idea todo validation cards.
Do you remember that?
No, I don't, I've been thinkingabout it but I just haven't,
because I really want to createa deck of some sort, but like
(25:21):
validation cards would be cooland I think about it.
Anyway, that's the list.
Hopefully you have some coolideas for people in your life
who are into this kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
When in doubt.
A lobster shaped noveltyheating pad is, I think, the
clear winner of all of thesegifts.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that one's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Front row middle right there.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And chocolate.
Yeah, bye people, chocolate,everybody loves chocolate.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
How could we forget about that one?
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, just make sure you know it there.
Books Well, books is tricky.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, because you don't know if they've read them
or not.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Or maybe they prefer audio books.
But chocolate's tricky too,because there's all these dark
chocolate weirdos that thinkdark chocolate tastes better
than real chocolate, which itdoesn't.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Send your hate messages to Ryan MontesNLP on
Instagram.
What were you going to?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
say, when I was doing my training last week, one of
the girls went to the bulk burnand brought back all this
chocolate.
I was so excited.
It was all dark chocolate, darkchocolate covered coffee beans,
dark chocolate covered almondsand something else, and I was
like, ah, I just wanted to havesome milk chocolate.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And she brought back the chocolate for Everbin.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Everyone.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't just her personal stash, it was
for the whole group, likethat's like coming in with arms
full of pizza and being like Ibought everybody pizza and it
has like anchovies on everysingle piece of light.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
God bless that kind woman though I still, I still
ate them.
Yeah, I still ate them.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Still very grateful for the chocolate that that was
provided.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Exactly, exactly, eternal gratitude.
That was a very kind gesture.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, hey, you know, come on.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Give me a picture.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Pick up the milk chocolate people out there right
.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, all right, I guess that's going to be it.
So, yeah, I feel like I'm goingto get a barrage of interesting
comments after this one andmaybe packages of dark chocolate
in the mail, but whatever.

It's getting there.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
It's getting there and you know, everyone in the US
celebrated Thanksgiving thispast weekend Yep, we're
recording this beforeThanksgiving, but it's the
landing post.
So I thought it would be fun tohave an episode about gift
giving, and I imagine thatbuying gifts for coaches or
(00:27):
people who are into personaldevelopment or like spiritual
stuff is difficult maybe for theaverage person to purchase for,
and so I found this list ofgifts that you could give
someone who's into personaldevelopment, who's a coach,
who's into wellness and maybespirituality that they would
(00:52):
really like, that you might notthink to get them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, like the lobster shaped heating pad.
Cover number 34 on our list.
No, not that.
Maybe, not that one, yeah,maybe not that one.
Lobster and eating.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's funny because, like I always think I'm such an
easy person to shop for.
You know, like I, there's somany things that I can think of
that I would want, right, andpeople tell me that I'm, like,
one of the most difficult peopleon their Christmas list to shop
for.
Yeah, and so I'm thinking thatthis, this, hopefully, this list
is going to help peopleunderstand what people like me
(01:36):
or, you know, someone who's acoach in your life or someone
who's interested in personaldevelopment I don't even know if
it's personal development, butjust interested in different
things might want.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
A person who's interested in things they might
want, some of the things thatwe're going to talk about during
this episode.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I mean we can't make it any more clear than that.
No, we can't.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But these are like things with like, yeah, a
personal development, a coachingenthusiast, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Self care maybe self care.
Sit in self care.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Person.
Let's just get into the list.
Number 19 on the list is asmall desktop pink refrigerator
and I can tell you I have this.
I don't have a pink one, I havemine.
Looks identical to the photobut is of a different brand name
and mine is black and I can seeit If I look over my monitor.
(02:32):
Past you, Atlanta banks, I cansee it over there my desktop
office refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And I love that thing , I love it.
How much, like how many cans ofsomething fits in it.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It can hold six cans of pop comfortably.
And some people use these aslike self care refrigerators,
like they keep their creams andlotion stuff in them.
I keep.
I keep drinks in mine, so Idon't have to keep them in the
(03:05):
communal fridge down the hall inmy own little private fridge.
I love that thing was not tooexpensive.
If I didn't own it and somebodygave it to me as a gift, I
would really like it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Cool, and does it?
Is it just as cold as a regularfridge?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh, absolutely, it's a real fridge, for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And you plug it into the wall, not into your computer
.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, every now and then it shuts down is like sorry
, I need to upgrade my software,your drinks will be warm for
two hours and then no, justplugged into the wall and into a
regular plug.
Yeah, regular plug comes with.
The cord works out of the box.
I bought mine on Amazon.
There's some unsubscribes rightthere.
The anti Amazon crowds want youto still shop at Amazon how
(03:54):
dare you.
Oh well, so if you see that thedownloads go down next week,
landmakes, because I admittedthat I'd buy stuff from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's okay, I do too .
Yeah, I mean you know what Ialso saw on the list.
If we're on the theme offridges, I saw one that you can
plug in in your car on here.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I used to have a fridge in my car when I was a
private investigator and I wason the road a lot oh that makes
sense.
I had a working refrigerator inmy car, a little one.
It was shaped like an armrest.
It was really cool.
You could actually.
It had a switch on the front.
It could also heat, so you flipthe switch and the inside of it
(04:38):
would like pretty quickly gofrom being really cold to really
hot.
It was this cool and it pluggedinto the car and it was also
like a cooler.
So even when the car's powerwas off, you know it would keep
stuff in there cool for a whileafter you turned off the car.
That thing was cool.
If you know somebody who iscrazy and spends 12 hours a day
(05:00):
in their car, like I used to aspart of the job.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah Well, that's what this thing is.
It's a travel fridge with carcharger.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What number is that?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
on the list Number 19 .
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Number 19.
Oh okay, so that one's.
Oh okay, so it's a little bitdifferent, you know what though,
now that I think about it, minemight have come with a car
plugin as well the one that Ihave in my office but it
definitely came with a wallplugin, as I use it in my office
.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, cause this one says it's good also to keep your
lotions and eye masks and stufflike that, rollers perfectly
chilled, cool, put your eye maskin there?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Probably enough talking about that fridge.
Yeah, let's move on Number 23.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Now I'm so excited about number 23 that I have to
have two turns in a row.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I have to Okay.
Himalayan salt lamp.
I have two of these at my place.
I should bring one to theoffice.
Actually.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I like these salt lamps.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I just like the look of them.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Me too, I like the look of them.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They're good.
You know, I like the vibe.
Some people think they havelike health benefits or
energetic benefits, and I don'tknow whether that's true or not,
but I just love the style of agood salt lamp with a little
wooden base.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's all inside, it glows.
It's like something out ofIndiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and it's like a nice way to like, you know,
bring the vibe down in theevening.
You know, if you don't wantbright lights, you just turn
those on, and it's just like anice, like candlelight.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Fire up your salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, set the mood.
I used to have one and then,when my kids were very little,
they knocked it over and brokeit and I've never replaced it.
But I got it as a gift, which Ithought was the nicest gift.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The great gift when I was gifted the salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's kind of one of those things you don't want to
buy.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I bought two.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But, yeah.
Well, maybe because the firsttime I ever had when I had been
gifted it.
So I was like, oh, that's cool.
I don't know if I would haveever bought this, but this is a
lovely gift.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
If you know somebody who's into like personal
development or like kind of likemeditation, if they don't have
salt lamp, get them a salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, and they're cheap.
I was just grocery shopping atMetro the other day and they had
them at the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Like a no name salt lamp in the yellow box with a
black writing salt lamp.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't know what it was.
It was in like the healthy foodsection or like where they sell
vitamins and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I did one time lick one of my salt lamps just out of
curiosity.
Very salty, genuine salt.
Yep, very salty, really.
A big chunk of sodium.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah Well, while we're on the topic of lights,
there's also this really coolnumber six.
It's a wake up light, sunrisealarm clock.
So rather than being likejolted awake by, like an
annoying sound, this is likesunlight beaming into your room
(07:53):
in the morning to wake you up.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of cool.
I don't have one of those, butI've heard good things.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
And then right below it isnumber seven, which is an
acupressure mat and pillow set.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, I wouldn't use that if somebody gave me that.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, it has needles in it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Does it no?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Without the needles Not needles.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
it's like little.
Yeah, I mean, this one's alittle bit more risky.
I think Some people probablywould really like that, but I
don't know that I wouldn't likeit.
It's just that I know that Iwouldn't use it, like I would
try it once and then it would belike in the closet permanently.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah yeah it's one of those things where you'd
probably use it for a week andthen you're like oh, bring it
away now because the cleaninglight is coming, and then you
know, bring it back out.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That reminds me I gotta recharge my massage gun.
That's a good gift.
I don't know if it's on thislist or not, but a massage gun.
You're looking at $100 plus fora decent massage gun, but
that's a good gift.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That is a nice gift.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, if somebody doesn't have one, but they gotta
actually enjoy a massage.
Like some people never go formassages or not into it at all.
They're not gonna use a massagegun, but if you know somebody
who wants to pulverize theirmuscles with a mechanical device
, like I do, it's a great gift.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, Number two.
I like I've been wanting these.
Actually they're Eucalyptusessential oil shower steamers.
So you just like plop that inyour shower, I guess, and then
the steam of the shower justlike makes the smell of the
(09:43):
steamer.
Is that how it?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
works Like the humidity of the shower causes it
?
I think so off gas Eucalyptusfumes that smell nice.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, like I put, I always have fresh Eucalyptus in
the shower, but it only worksfor the first couple of days and
then it gets dry and then youdon't really smell it as much.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of upkeep.
To have like constant freshEucalyptus in your shower, you'd
have to have like Eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I think it'd be so cool to have like a live
Eucalyptus wall or ceiling ofyour shower and then you just
like get in there every morningand it's just like you're at the
spa or you're in like a jungleor something.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I wonder if that's doable or how much light a
Eucalyptus plant needs.
Could you just have the plantin your bathroom?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
What it needs to be like.
I buy it fresh, but it's notplanted Like.
It's just from the flower areaat the garden.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Could you have like a pot with?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
soil A potted Eucalyptus.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I don't know like is it too big?
Is it like a banana tree?
And it's like massive.
So you can't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't know.
I'm gonna look into thatactually later.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Listeners tune in next time on Gardening with Ryan
Lauches, where we'll uncoverthe mysteries of bathroom-grown
Eucalyptus.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah Well have you seen these.
I've seen these ads and thismight be a cool gift too.
It's not on the list, but it'sa crystal infused shower head,
so it's like a shower headthat's full of crystals and you
screw it onto your showerwhatever tap, and so the water
(11:34):
goes through the crystal tubeand then out of the shower head,
so you're being showered withcrystal infused water.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think if you're gonna give that as a gift, you
need to reserve that one for themost woo-woo of your woo-woo
pals.
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's not a.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Ryan Lauches gift.
Love the idea, love the idea.
But I'm not installing that inmy shower, In your shower.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's too much for me, that's too much for me,
that's too much.
It is a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Like one notch too much.
You know, Would you have that?
Would you use that?
If somebody gave that to you,would you install it in the
bathroom?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I probably would.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, you would.
So, if you know Atlanta.
Banks, she's dropping hintshere.
People Get her that crystalinfused shower head, cool okay.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't know if it would be compatible, though it
depends.
I don't know if it would becompatible with my shower.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You could just call up your local plumber Say hey,
I've got this very specialshower head.
I need you to install, you know.
Yeah yeah, there you go bylocal.
Okay, what else we got here?
Water bottle yeah boring.
Don't buy people a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Boring water bottle, unless it's got some special.
Yeah, maybe there's somespecial water bottles, like one
that's made out of stone.
I saw that one time.
That was kind of cool.
A chunk of rose quartz tomassage with, that's kind of a
cool idea.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh, you know what I think that is?
What number is it?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
36.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh God, I lost the list here.
No, never mind.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's called a Guasha tool.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, so you know what that is.
You put oil on your face andthen you use it to smooth your
skin and it's supposed to bereally stimulating for your skin
.
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I wouldn't, mind that that stuff's pretty good, it
works.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, it totally works.
There's a weighted blanket onhere.
Have you ever used a weightedblanket?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I have not.
I have not.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I haven't either.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I've heard good things.
The people who use them seem tolike them.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying one Tranquility weighted
blanket.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
There you go.
Number 43 is an essential oildiffuser.
Those things are cool.
They put that little puff ofmist behind you.
You can use your essential oils.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I've had a couple of these over the years.
My objection is they break,they get gunked up.
You get bored of them after awhile.
Yeah, I don't know, it's goingto depend on the person.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It is a nice gift, though.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, it is a nice gift.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
You know what I think is a really great gift.
I don't know if it'snecessarily on this list, but
really nice quality sheets.
If you're new to mattress sizeand give someone a sheet set
that is high thread count or areally good quality flannel
sheet set, that would be alovely gift.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's a lovely gift.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
That's a lovely gift for anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
For anybody A bit on the pricier end.
Yeah, Again.
Yeah, that's up there with themassage gun, maybe even more, oh
yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Like we're looking at , maybe like $400.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, we didn't say this was the budget gift.
No, it's talking gifts.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, we're just talking gifts.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It was a gold bar, beautiful gift, just like a bar
of actual pure 24 karat gold.
What would you do with that,though they were beautiful gifts
.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Put it on your desk.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I don't know.
I would probably not put it onmy desk.
My office has glass walls.
Somebody walking by could justsee it and break the glass and
take it.
I probably would put it in asafe I don't know Gold bar.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, gold bar.
I didn't even know you couldbuy those.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You can.
You can order them from theRoyal Canadian Mint.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Oh, that's cool, oh that's like a nice little gift
for maybe like a specialChristmas or something.
Actually, you know what?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Joking aside, an actual full-size gold bar is
worth a ton of money.
But on a more everyday scale,from the Mint and even if you're
outside of Canada there's othersources for this you can order
little, tiny gold coins that arelike pure gold and they're
stamped, sometimes with designsor with the name of the facility
(16:29):
that made them or whatever youcan get, and they usually come
in gift packaging.
You can give people like a tinylittle gold coin that's worth
whatever amount really that youwant, because there's all
different sizes.
That would be kind of,depending on the person, a
unique and potentially veryspecial gift, because how many
people have like an actual goldcoin?
(16:50):
Right, yeah, they own.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Not many Holds right.
Yeah, not many, that's not onthe list.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's a Ryan Montes idea.
Yeah, that's just straight outof your noggin I just straight
out of it, because I've thoughtabout buying it just for myself
as a novelty.
But I haven't All you fearlesscat burglars out there.
I don't have any gold orprecious metals of any sort at
my home or office, Not yet.
I think this is cool.
I like that one.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
There's a bunch of like journal type things and
cards.
I keep losing the list.
Hang on yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Gratitude journals, those coloring books, mandela
coloring books, yeah, there'slike, yeah, some of those
Mandela coloring books.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But then I saw something else.
It was really cute.
It was like a bear.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh, the bear.
I saw the bear.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Did you see it?
I think it's down.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's after the lobster, number 38.
Hug in a box it's called.
What is this thing?
Send this adorable care packageto anyone who's been going
through a rough time.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Is that what you were looking at?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Number 38.
The hug in a box Teddy bear.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, A box full of hugs, love, kindness, cheer,
laughter fun.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So I think they're just like cards and you just
pull it out and it's just likeprobably a nice message.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh, okay, yeah, Okay, I didn't realize that's what
was going on.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I also liked the first one.
It's a jar of positive messagesin a bottle and it's little
capsules and you open up acapsule and read a positive
message every day.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's what that is.
I was just right over thatbecause I thought it was some
kind of supplement or something.
It's okay.
So it's made to look like apill bottle, like a medication,
but it's not.
It's little motivational,friendly messages that you
unravel and they're sort of likethe shape of a pill.
Okay, that's kind of cool.
That's cute, that's kind ofcool.
And it says on the bottle thereopen one capsule and read
(18:48):
positive message on the insideone time a day or as needed.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh, that's nice.
Okay, that's a cute littlething.
Sure, this is nice too, thenatural aroma therapy lavender
heat pillow.
So you probably put it in themicrowave, or you could put it
in your office fridge.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, my office.
Oh, if I want it cold, myoffice fridge is cold.
Only it was the old school carfridge that could make things
hot.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's long gone, long gone, but this one you can
microwave this one or you canput it in the fridge.
The freezer.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But it smells like lavender and you just put it on
whatever your eyes, probably, oryour neck.
This looks cool too.
The infinity pillow.
Infinity pillow a supportiveneck scarf like a wearable
pillow.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
For frequent travelers.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, I'm not into it .
Yeah, I would never bring thatwith me.
Like it sounds amazing, butthey should just have them on
the plane.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It does not sound or look amazing to me.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I feel like you get your hands on this thing and
it's not like you think likeyeah Well, if you have to sit
like that with your arms in it,that might not be comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, have you seen thatostrich pillow where you put
your head into it and then, youlike, just put your head down on
the table.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, I've seen different variations of those.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, that's not comfortable
for me to sleep like that.
I see people sleeping on planeslike that where they're just
like folded over in half.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm more of a like put my head to the side, yeah,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I don't know if those work for you, great.
Don't give me that as a giftbecause, like I don't, it's
really personal if the if that'sgoing to work.
Those weird pillows like.
Back to number thirty four, thelobster heating pad.
It's looking better and better.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I like that.
I think that's a cool gift.
It's a cute little gift to givesomeone.
Also this teedrops box.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, teedrop box, or it's like an assortment of teas
and a wooden box.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's always you know, but that's kind of more
like a teacher gift.
You know you give that to, yougive that to someone you don't
really know and also like youknow it's giving a person a tea
variety pack, like it's a prettyunique, like individual thing,
what types of tea person likesand if they like tea.
So I mean, if you've got a teaperson, sure, what about this
(21:30):
giving?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
heart pillow so you can give this heart pillow and
they can like squeeze it andfeel the love.
Yeah, it's a nice gift for,like a friend that's far away,
not into it.
It's a reminder, maybe it'smore of like a girly thing.
What number is that?
Number 20.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Number 20.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, it's just a heart shaped pillow, though.
Yeah, but it's just like areminder.
It's just like, like you know,those glow, those glow stuffies.
I always see them on InstagramLow stuffies.
I think they're like glow upstuffies and like if you they're
like attached, so you use themfor your kids too.
(22:12):
It's just like I'm thinkingabout you and it glows.
And then when, when the animalglows, then they know that the
other person that has the otherone is thinking about you.
And then, when the animal glows, then they know that the other
person that has the other one isthinking about them.
Oh wow, that's kind ofinteresting.
Yeah, it's cute.
(22:32):
Like I just think of that for,like, when my kids go to like
university or something orthey're not at home.
I can just do like you knowyeah glow, glow the stuffie.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I got you.
I think we covered most of thegood ones, like a bathtub tray
so you can have a littleorganizer in front of you when
you're laying in the tub and youcan have your wine glass and
your smartphone.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I wouldn't want that.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, it kind of depends too much how people do
their baths.
I'm productive in my bath.
I've got the laptop andwatching Netflix Chocolate
vegetables, so I could use that.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I don't even think this would fit on my tub Like I
think it would be more for likeone of those freestanding tugs.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No, I think you could make it work Wherever and it's
adjustable.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That was adjustable.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh, it's slides.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
This is like a really fancy one.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, it's a fancy tub productivity organizer.
I don't know what you call it,because in the photo, in the
organizer, like the variety ofthings that this person has
access to, there's like shampooand soap, but also a smartphone
playing a music video, but alsolike a stand for a book, two
(23:57):
different things of nuts, aglass of that's clearly sangria.
They've got a rolled up towelin the organizer and there's
like a drawer pulled out thathas a soap, I think that's so
open it yeah.
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And a candle.
Oh yeah, I missed the candle.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
There's a candle there as well.
It's like this is for theprofessional bathtub user.
Yeah, like you're in there fora few hours.
Yeah, this is the person thathas the little pink refrigerator
next to them with the drinksinside.
So if you I mean if you know,if you know somebody that needs
(24:39):
this thing like you know no, thethat person, I'll give me the
glasses.
Sangria, though I haven't hadsome.
Haven't had sangria in a longtime.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Mm, hmm, um, I like this one.
We can make this one the lastone, these mindfulness cards.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So you just pick a card and you know it probably
gives you some sort of quoteabout a mindfulness practice.
I was thinking of doingvalidation card.
Well, you gave me that idea todo validation cards.
Do you remember that?
No, I don't, I've been thinkingabout it but I just haven't,
because I really want to createa deck of some sort, but like
(25:21):
validation cards would be cooland I think about it.
Anyway, that's the list.
Hopefully you have some coolideas for people in your life
who are into this kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
When in doubt.
A lobster shaped noveltyheating pad is, I think, the
clear winner of all of thesegifts.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that one's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Front row middle right there.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
And chocolate.
Yeah, bye people, chocolate,everybody loves chocolate.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
How could we forget about that one?
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, just make sure you know it there.
Books Well, books is tricky.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, because you don't know if they've read them
or not.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Or maybe they prefer audio books.
But chocolate's tricky too,because there's all these dark
chocolate weirdos that thinkdark chocolate tastes better
than real chocolate, which itdoesn't.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Send your hate messages to Ryan MontesNLP on
Instagram.
What were you going to?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
say, when I was doing my training last week, one of
the girls went to the bulk burnand brought back all this
chocolate.
I was so excited.
It was all dark chocolate, darkchocolate covered coffee beans,
dark chocolate covered almondsand something else, and I was
like, ah, I just wanted to havesome milk chocolate.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And she brought back the chocolate for Everbin.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Everyone.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't just her personal stash, it was
for the whole group, likethat's like coming in with arms
full of pizza and being like Ibought everybody pizza and it
has like anchovies on everysingle piece of light.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (27:03):

ate them.

provided.

comments after this one andmaybe packages of dark chocolate
in the mail, but whatever.
