Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I literally have no
idea what to expect on this Black Friday, because I
said to my daughter Larkin, why don't you come on
the podcast and we'll do a Black Friday episode.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And so she's here.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I have Larkin with me. Larkin say hello, Hello, Larkin's here.
She has all the great ideas for teens for Black Friday. However,
the other three have tagged along, so I have Noel Hello, Bonnie.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Bonnie is the most talkative. We've had a discussion. We've
laid down some ground rules ahead of time. She can't interrupt,
so we're going to work on that. And she's laughing hysterically.
And Elan Hi. Elan is thirteen, and that was clearly
showing in that hello. So anyway, so Larkin, welcome to
the podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
All right. So you've been out on the prial for
teen gifts for Christmas? Correct, yes, okay, So tell us
what you found.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
So at school, I asked some of my classmates what
they would want for Christmas, and a lot of the
girls said clothes, and a few of the boys did too.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So Larkin's fifteen, She's in high school. Let's just say
she's a sophomore in high school. So we're looking for teenagers.
So this is what we found.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yeah, so a lot of them said clothes, and a
few of them said that they want the new iPhone,
which I think would be a good gift for a
lot of teens.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Hint, hint, it's just kiddie.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And then a lot of them also, all the girls,
they said they want jewelry.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Okay, so is this like fancy jewelry? What is the
jewelry thing?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I think a lot of teens like like little necklaces,
like with like one little charm like my cross necklace.
How it's like a small little chain with a charm.
And then like rather than like chunky necklaces, and like
a lot of teens like pure Vita bracelets like the
(02:10):
string ones.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh yeah, so we saw over the weekend. I don't
know if you know these Puaveta bracelets. They are like
we get them in the surf shop. They're just kind
of ropes. They're very cool, they're very pretty. But we
found something really cool over the weekend. I think it
was really cool these Okay Noel. Noel says, she like,
so what you tell about it? What did we find.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
So they were like these bracelets and these little ornament
like cases, and there were two different ones. They were
ones that were like Christmas and then ones that were
just like normal colors for them, they were like blues
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And so they're ornaments.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So you get them.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I actually went on Puavida. That doesn't mean you're
getting in because I genuinely did not order them, but
they were on sale on their website, on the Puiravida
website over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So you go on.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
There and you can get and they're like fifteen dollars
right now, which I think is a good price because
the bracelets are usually seven. I think in those they
have like four bracelets, yeah, right, four. So I think
that for us we have half birthdays. I know half
birthdays are such. People are so annoyed with half birthdays,
but we do have half birthdays in December. So for
(03:23):
everybody judging me right now, just to be clear, when
you have children that have summer birthdays, the school celebrates
half birthdays, So I blame them for why we end
up with half birthdays. But I just thought, oh, this
would be a cool thing to hang on the tree
or to have as like, you know, the first one
of the twelve Days of Christmas gift. But they are
little ornaments and I thought they were very cool, so
(03:44):
I interrupted you, Larkin. But when you put out your bracelets,
I was like, oh, actually the Piravita bracelets would be
an awesome gift for like a stocking stuffer or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, and there's a ton of different colors, and I've
seen some of like the guys in my class wear
them too, because they're just like sort of like a
not really like jewelry. Yeah, they're just like kind of
like a cool little thing to wear other jewelry, like
(04:15):
like hoop earrings, but like small hoops those. I think
a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Like I see one person who has small hoops in
her ears, nodding, Yeah, all right, what else? What else
do they want?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Like I think three people said that they want air pods.
I didn't ask that many people because I asked at
lunch and there's like two different lunches, so I only
got like half of like the people that I could
have asked. But another thing is room decur.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
A lot of people like room de cour this is
what you're getting in high school?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Okay, like.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
So people said, like like tapestries for their wall.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I guess what.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, and then like little plants too. That was mostly
like girls saying the plants.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So Bonnie is a huge plant fan.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh I get to talk. Yes, I love plants.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I have.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I had my first plant. It was like, I don't
know what type of plant. It kind of looks like spiky.
It was. It was like a type of succulent. Yes,
it was a succulent. And it's grown so much, and
it bloomed a flower. And I love plants. They're just amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We don't know why it bloomed a flower, but it
keeps blooming a flower. It's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I have no idea what kind of plants are beautiful?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And then I it's like one of those things where
you grow this plant, but I don't really know that much.
So we have all these plants at bonnie Wants. And
then this plant started growing out of control. So I
tried to like prop it up, and then it grew
a flower and now it like regularly grows a flower,
but it's not a veryly pretty flower. It's just like
this oh sorry statement it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Was it is a beautiful flower and I remember one
time when I like started my like love for plants.
I wanted to get a plant for my mom, obviously
for like Mother's Day, and then my dad was like, oh,
this one's amazing one. And I thought, oh my goodness,
(06:23):
this plant is the best plan ever. And then like
a year later I figured it out it was fake.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The little plant on my window set.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, I was watering it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And oh, okay, thinks I didn't know. All right, Okay,
so plants are good plants. Larkin plants.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I think a lot of people would also like fake
plants and not water them. But another room decor thing
would be like little lamps, like not like a full lamp.
Well I'm sure people with like a fool lamp, but
like Bonnie and Noel, they both had like these little
(07:05):
lamps that are.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Toast Oh yeah, and it's.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Like you push the thing down on the toaster. Yeah,
it's kind of like a nightlight and like you once
you like push the thing down that's supposed to be
like the toaster like thing, like the bread lights up.
And that's that's cool. A lot of people said, money, ye,
(07:29):
she just laughs. When I went around, there was this
table full of like thirteen boys, and when I asked them,
they all said that they want like video game money,
like v books for Fortnite and like roebucks for roadblocks.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So that's why, see, this is like totally different from
when I was in high school. We had to buy
video games. And now I'm like, you don't buy them anymore, right,
just like you buy them online or something.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, you buy them and just like download them, I think.
And then I think for like Xbox and like PlayStation,
you can like still buy the games, but I think
you can download song.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So Daddy and I were talking about what a rip
off this is because like when we were I mean honestly,
when we were kids, you could get a game and
then you had a game for life. Now everything is
now everything that you get is something you have to
subscribe to. So like when we were young, we had music.
We had tapes. First of all, you guys have no
idea what I'm talking about, but we had tapes that
(08:36):
you and Aunt Megan would actually record all of her
songs from the radio. This is how life was when
we were kids. If so people listening, I'm sure you
remember this casey K Sum's Top forty, Like we would
sit there on Saturday morning and Sunday morning and record
their favorite songs onto the tape. Then they get rid
of tapes, and so everything changed and you had CDs,
(08:57):
and then your tapes were all irrelevant, so you'd get
so then we would record onto the CDs, and now
there's no CDs anymore, and you have to rent all
your music. So all the music that we had once
upon a time is totally useless and we have to
rent it, just like games. But the funny thing is, Larkin,
what did you ask me for a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
A CD player? I'm like, what what are you gonna
do with that?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So now you're is your generation back into CDs?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, I think they're cool.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No, no, speak up, she's just into renting.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I think it's cool to like be able to have
all of your music like on display, like you can
have the CDs and like it's like, oh, I have
this music, this is my music.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh that's interesting, and I think about it that way.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We had like we used to have these these towers
where you had all your music in your tower, and
then it kind of was like, hey, this is the
music I like. So yeah, that's it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Like I think weak CDs are like fun, but it's
like there's always the fear of what if you scratch it?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, yeah, we have done what we've done with a
lot of our DVDs, haven't we. So when you guys
were little, we had a lot of DVDs. We do
have a lot, yeah, we still but some of them
got wrecked. They did, yes by Yeah, I know. It's
very sad. Yes, you know this. You guys were the
ones that scratched them.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Honestly, I think that Spotify or Apple Music is better
because then you can just like look up any song
you want to play and you don't have to like
search for it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There's okay, all right, yes, in the generation see this
is the year generation, it's like that I want something
to mediate, and of course you, of all my kids,
it would be that would be the ones like I
want it and I want it now totally.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
In Apple Music though, in like Spotify, you can just
like find a random song and start playing it and
be like, oh, I like it. But like for CDs,
like how would you know if you liked it before
you played it?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, because you so back in the day you had
to listen to songs on the radio, and then.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Well I do listen to songs on the radio, right.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But you would learn from the radio what you really liked,
and then you would that's when you would, okay, finally
commit to the CD. But then usually you get a
bunch of songs you didn't like on a CD too,
because you buy an whole CD with all the songs
that you would pay for the whole all the songs,
and you just really have one that you like.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So there'd be multiple songs on a CD.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, it would be like the whole album.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Okay, did not know that? Yep, now I do.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's how it worked, Okay.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Also, another thing from the room decor that I forgot
to say was candles. A lot of the girls really
said that they want like candles, and like the other
day when we went to bathroom Bodyworks and we were
smelling all those candles because Noel really wanted that one.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yes, so Noel and Bonnie are twins and they share
a room and Bonnie last year got a candle that
is called flannel and will not let Noel light it.
Oh it wasn't last year, No.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
It was like it was like a long time ago,
she got it and she won't let us light it.
But it smells so good, and I'm like, why can't
we light it? And she was like I don't want
it to go away. I'm like, it's a candle, you're
supposed to light it. But it's like it smells so good.
It's not burnt, it's like perfect. And she's like, I'm
gonna light it and I'm like no, because I not
(12:51):
want to keep the smell, like it's gonna be gone.
What you light it? Will you smell it? Then you
open the candle up and you sniff, you're one.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I was gonna say, like, do you want your room
just like that?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But yeah, exactly, Like wouldn't you want like if you
light the candle in the room, the room will smell
like the candle. Wouldn't that be awesome? Well, I keep
telling you save it till Christmas. That what you said
years ago?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This is so, this is what I was like, this
is this could go completely off the rails. This is
what life is like in our house every day.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So moving back, So candles, candles are good for both
boys and girls.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Not the boys didn't really say candles, but I think
that if they found a candle that they really liked,
they would want a candle. But it's mostly a girl thing.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Alan's pointing to her converse. So you think shoes, Yeah,
but what kind of shoes? Well, like.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
You can speak, I think a lot of people would
really want ugs.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I also think crocks, like in the summertime.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Okay, So I've talked to like a lot of people
in my class because like they like, we were like
sharing our Christmas list today and a bunch of people
said that they want shoes. I think I sent you
like four pairs of shoes, yes, because you're just like
you know, you want to use them to create your style.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh so this is your style?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Shoes?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Are your shoes are very important for yourself?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yes? Almost everyone said shoes. Seriously, yes, almost everyone said shoes.
And I remember something that someone told me. It might
have been Grandma, but I don't know, but I heard
that like, depending on what shoes you wear is like
it tells what kind of person you are. Oh my god,
It's like people will judge you based off of what
(14:51):
your shoes look like.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So Sarah's in here with the soundboard and she's not talking.
She's just staying here with the soundboard, and she's like yes, yeah,
she's giving us the nod, like okay, so clearly I
am not in this shoe trend. Okay, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Wait, I have something to say. Grandma has told me
so many times that I need to get new shoes
because people judge me on my shoes. But I need
to say something. The kids in my class. I feel
like the boys they don't really care on what their
shoes look like they'll be like dirty. But the girls
(15:30):
they'll like wear converse and stuff, so like they care
about this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Older girls. Older girls tell us about the shoes.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So I feel like a lot of people like now
will like collect shoes, which I don't really understand the
collecting shoes thing, but.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You couldn't hear Elin just said I do.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Currently, But like wearing certain shoes, I feel like show
like how well like you take care of yourself with
like how much you care of and also like what
how you want other people to view you.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Gosh, I had no idea my shoes say this much.
I am so scary.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I wonder it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I see you all wearing crocs, I mean you're
literally wearing like plastic shoes. How does what does that say?
And you have a crock elan that has a crock
charm on it that used to be a duck and.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Now it's a headless dog. Then broke off.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
The other day and I was like, what is this saying?
It's like a duck murder.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Okay, so so shoes, they like, let elan talk. Haven't
you talked that much?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You have talked so much.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Your Bonnie has a talking from al right, like in
your duck situation.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Well, it was just like one day I just like
ran into the step and then I heard like something
fall on the ground, and like then I looked and
my duck was on. But I was like, I really
want to keep this duck charm because you know, like
glows in the dark. Now like needed to guide my way,
and so then I just counted there.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So now you have a headless stuck all right, okay,
all right, back to larking.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay, So yeah, like a lot of people said shoes,
and I got a few examples of shoes. A lot
of people want converse, like specifically converse high tops because
the ones that are just like ankle length. I feel
like no one wears those. I've never seen anyone.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Wear the short ones.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Like the short ones, I've never seen anyone wear those.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I have what kamala she says shoes. Sarah is saying,
kamala where she was the.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Short one, she was the short ones.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Maybe that's over forty five thing.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, I've seen adults wear short ones, but I feel like,
I don't know, that's not like embarrassing, it's just embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
If you're like it seems because I'm embarrassing. I'm I'm
feeling I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
No, No, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Okay, the high top converts.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
And then when Noel said uggs earlier, like the ugs
that I think I see like girls wearing a lot,
and some boys are like the ones are like almost slippers,
but they're not. And they have like the edge has
like threaded design on.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It as like a tapestry. Like yeah, yeah, yes, I've
seen those.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So I think that I actually saw that those are
in sale at Macy's for Black Friday, because I feel
like I keep getting notices that those are Oh for Macy's.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Nope, I just sat you some.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Nope, just get me some, all right, So I think
I saw them for sale at Macy's. So if you
are shopping this Black Friday, uggs ugs are in all right.
What's the third time?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I couldn't find any other shoe ideas? Just a lot
of people were just like started screaming at me shoes, please, I.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Need shoes socks.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Oh, and like a lot of people wear Nikes. And
there's a ton of different kinds of Nikes. And I'm
not really sure which ones are cool because I don't
know like the names of them. But I've seen a
lot of different kinds of Nikes.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh my gosh, stop, but you did put Nikes on mine?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Did you just call me uncool?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I didn't say, because the Nikes you don't even wear
an neck.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Okay, pro seed.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Okay, so let's move on from shoes.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So a lot of the girls said they like jelly
cats stuffed animals.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
We have a lot of jelly cats. Obviously, Bonnie likes
jelly cats.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
If you don't know what a jelly cat is, oh, well,
just said, I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Have a single one.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Okay, So if you don't know what a jelly cat is,
it's a stuffed animal. And I think the most common.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Ones and it aren't necessarily a cat.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
No, the most common kind is the bunnies, even though
it's called a jelly cat, which kind of doesn't make sense,
but like this, yeah, I think it's called bashful bunny,
like Elan just said, and like they come in tons
of different colors and stuff, and even the ones that
aren't bunnies, they're like adorable. And a lot of people
(20:44):
said they want those. And then one girl said, just
soft things. She's like listed some she was like, the
jelly cats, like blankets and stuff.

sheets and I have the Cozy Earth pajamas. But then
I was on the Cozier site the other day and
I didn't know that they have hoodies and they look
(22:45):
super super soft, and based on the other things that
I have from Cozy Earth, I am like super exciting.
They have a lot of really good colors. They have
some some holiday colors, but they have this like winter green.
I think that is a holiday color, but that one
is really pretty. So I feel like you guys are
always asking me for hoodies, So honestly, if you have
(23:06):
a teenager, go to Cozy Earth and look at the hoodies.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Because the hoodies.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Were beautiful, and I know, based on the quality of
everything else I have from Cozy Earth, that that's gonna
be the nicest stuff. You also like comfort hoodies?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, oh yeah. I literally don't even know how many
hoodies I've sent you for Christmas. I think like more
than fifteen. But like, I actually am obsessed with hoodies.
I can't, like, I literally can't. They're so comfy. And also, okay,
there's this brand called Comfort and they're like slightly weighted
(23:39):
and they're like really good and yeah, so I asked
for like five of those, but they're like expensive, so yikes.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
All right, Okay, Bonnie's dying to say something.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
So yes, sweatshirts and hoodies. Definitely, because like especially in
school with like the dress code, where like if you
like want to wear leggings, you have to, like you
Jess Coode, It's like yes, yes, cuddies.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Another was for the girls was hair tools like curling
irons and like hair.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh my gosh, Noel sent me a She's like, don't
talk about it. No, it's true, she sent me. What
does that even do? I'm like that better grocery shopping

was just trying to show you. I'm pretty sure it
was the Dcon but I know a lot of people
want that.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Well, Dyson's a brand. She means the diceon air wrap.
It's like a hair dryer and there's like different attachments
and it can like curl your hair.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I think too, Yeah, there were three attachments, so what
does it do?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
So the curling part? I know, it's like it like
has air like hot air box. Yet no not really.
It like blows it around it and then it's like
hot and then you press a cold button and it
like cools it down so it stays in place, and
when you take it off, it like is a curl.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I just don't know that that's worth six hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Say, No, one's hair is like colorblone shoulder, like like
you do not you can't how you're gonna curl your hair?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
To curl it? No, you don't stop.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
It's literally past your shoulders right now.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
I think a good Christmas gift to get for your
children for Christmas, if they curl their hair often, you
should get them a heatless curler because first, it does
no damage your hair. Second of all, it like it
doesn't take that much to put it in, and when
you wake up you just have like beautiful hair.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
But that's that thing you have that you sleep in. Yeah,
explain what that is.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
So it's like it's called a heatless curler, but it's
like a silk Like it's okay, So there's like a
rod and over it is like like silk and then
you put it like on top of your head and
then like like cause it's.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Like that's like I could explain it if you need
me to. So it's like this long, squishy bendable like stick,
I guess, and it has like either like silk or
satin around it. And basically how to do it, You
(26:26):
like clip it to your head first. I don't some
people don't clip it and they just hold it there.
But then you take like one side and you wrap
like all your hair on one side around it, and
then the other side you wrap your hair and then
you take the clip out, or if you just didn't
have a clip, you just let go and then your
hair like either has to be like slightly wet or
(26:49):
I had one, but it doesn't really work because my
hair is so thick and it like isn't a ton
of hair, and it's also sort of uncomfortable to sleep in.
So just like keep that in.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Its just like what, it's not that uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
It's like I've heard a lot of people say it's
uncomfortable for them, but not for me. And then so
you either have to have like slightly damp hair or
mine came with like a tiny spray bottle that you
fill with water and then spray your hair with it afterwards,
they after you put it in, they say, have damp hair.
Don't have damp hair, because like it first of all,
(27:31):
won't cur on the morning if your hair is wet.
Second of all, it like it like damages the hair
thinging a jig. And then but you have if damages
to heat this curler, but like because it like makes
it like soggy.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And so so you do it with dry hair.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yeah, if you have dry hair works the best. Every
single time I do it. With damp hair, it just
they don't even like you. Just it's just they're gone,
They're gone, they're not there. You take it out and
they're just not there.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Have you ever done it with dry hair?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
No, because I take showers.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
No, that's okay. First of all, when I do it,
I either take a shower and then dry my hair
or I just don't wash my hair in the shower.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
I do.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Okay, Well maybe we need to try with that. Okay, okay,
but that is a good idea because I actually want
of those.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
So yeah, then basically you just sleep in it and
when you take it out in the morning, you're supposed
to have curls on your list. Another big thing was
gift cards.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
A lot of gifts.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Someone said, I don't know you that well.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Gift someone said, a Westco gift card.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, So I don't know why you would want a
gift card to a gas station.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, if you need gas?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Oh yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
So we got gas when we head to people put
it on our There was actually a gas card and
you could get gas and whatever you wanted at the
gas station. All right, anything else?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Perfume. A lot of girls said perfume specifically SOLDI gannio.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh, that's the favorite. That is the favorite one?
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yes, No one really specified.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
There's different ones there.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
No one really specified, like which one of that brand,
but one person said fifty nine, which is the purple one.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I think that's your favorite. Yeah, what's your favorite? My
favorite one, it's seventy six or something.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
No, I want the seventy six. But my favorite one,
which I already have, is the yellow one, which when
I got it was called Reo Radiance, but I think
it's eighty seven now they like switched it.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Interesting, all right, any any other things on the list.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Legos? I can talk.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I have to talk. You can't hold me that.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Before you talk, Bonnie, I need to say some kinds
about the legos.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Let her say a few things and then you can
talk about your lego obsessions. All right, uh.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
So, Lego Flowers was a popular one because Lego has
like these flowers that you can build and it's like
real bouquets, except their legos right side.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
For when we had okay, Bonnie made I just let
me to say something. Stop. Bonnie made a Lego bouquet
last year. We had I think you got it for.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Christmas, right, Bonnie and Noel.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh but you made them too. Okay, she's you can
speak up and yell at me too. Oh, she's just
being very quiet. So so Bonnie made a Lego both
bouquet last year, and then we were facetiming Grandma because
she went to Florida and she was like, oh, you
guys have such a pretty bouquet. She genuinely thought they
were real flowers. But they are very cool. Okay, yes, yeah,
(30:59):
so the very cool.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
No really specified any other Legos, but like a few
people said that they want legos. Now Bonnie can talk.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Okay. Legos are great. They could be for boys or girls,
like people. I'm not really sure about the girls in
my class, but I know like people around my age
and apparently like teenagers i'leven. Just everybody knows that like
(31:32):
like legos, They're great. I have so many. So like,
if you don't know, like if you're thinking about getting
like your kids some Legos or something like, if you
don't know which ones they'll want, you can get like
the ones that are in like kind of packs and
they're just like random ones and they can build like
(31:53):
anything with them. So yeah, that's like if you don't
know what to legos to get them.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But Bonnie's favorite place and no, I'll like this as well,
to go to Barnes and Noble. They have a ton
of We don't have a Lego store because we live
out in the suburbs of the suburbs, so we have
no Lego store, but we have Barnes and Noble and
they have a ton of different Lego sets. There's also
like and they a wicked Lego sets.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Okay to talk file, Okay, all right, I'm so if
you also like kind of like know what like the
person you're getting something thing like generally likes there's like
these Lego sets they can get and it's like called
like on the top it should say Creator and like
you can't choose what Lego set you want to build
(32:42):
with like the same bricks. So yeah, Yep.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I'm not a Lego master, but I think that I
think that like teenagers more like the ones that like
have instructions of like what to do, and then like
younger like eleven year olds, like the ones where you
can do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, yeah they have.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
There's like the black boxes or.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Those are for adults.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yes, I've still been boxes like Flower.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
They're like eighteen plus and I'm like, I'm still gonna
build it. The thing is, there's also I mean it
just says it's harder, but it's like way easier. There's
also like tutorials like online and stuff. Like I saw
something the other day and it was out of like
one of those like freestyle boxes of Legos and it
was like a bunch of pastel ones and they showed
(33:35):
like how to make like a jewelry box out of legos.
So yeah, you can also like look up online on
what to like do stuff with your legos. There's also
like this app. I don't know what it's called, but
like you can't if you have like a bunch of
random legos that are like old, you can like scan
the like giant pile of legos and the app will
(33:56):
like show you where the lego pieces are that you
need for like building sets like it will show you
sets and you can pick a set that you like.
Then you can pick out all the legos.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
A lot of the boys said that they want like
video game controllers like xboxes and PlayStations. I don't really
know which ones. I just know the PlayStation five is
like the newest one, but I'm not sure about the xboxes.
And they said that they want like games for it too,
(34:29):
So if you have a son, that's a good gift.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
So that was that Is that all you got from everybody?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Oh? Also candy. Someone was like, I really want chocolate.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Chocolate. It must have been a girl.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah. The last thing that I really have on my
list is someone said, which I thought this was really sweet.
Someone said, if you see some thing and you think
of me, then get it for me.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Oh that is so sweet. That is so thoughtful. Well,
I know one of the things that Bonnie was looking
for was a devotional book, and I think that's a
great thing to get, especially because you're right at the
beginning of the year. They can start off the three
hundred and sixty five days of Devotions and lurk and
I think you're a fan of those as well.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
You had something Allen, Well, my.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Mine's kind of lame. But so I was gonna say, like,
if you have like a teenage girl, you should get here,
maybe like lip gloss or something from Alta because like
you can get a lot of stocking stuffers there.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
And yeah, but Alta is very like wiped out.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Now, Oh my gosh. We were at Alta over the
weekend and we went on Saturday. They had all their
Christmas stuff out and then so we went here and
then we drove into grun Rapids and we went to
the Alta and grund Rapids and everything. I've never seen
store as wiped out as this. Every display was empty.
It was shocking. Every display was empty. And as we
were walking out, because we're the last people there. As
(36:08):
we were walking out, I heard the girl say, just
clear out the display and throw away all the plastic,
and I was like, oh my gosh, they're never getting
anything else back. So if you didn't go to Alta
and you wanted to go to Alta, my message to
you is to go immediately because last weekend everything was gone.
So I think that's our that's that's our advice for
(36:30):
Black Friday. Anybody have last thoughts? I know Bonnie's gonna
have a last thought. Anybody have a last thought?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Well, not that you said I could talk. I'm all
four talking. I love talking. But no, actually you didn't
give them anything to start off.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Okay, all right, okay, Well we're still on the topic
of makeup. I forgot that I had another page in
my notes. It's just like a few makeup things that
some girls said they want. Lip oil, and I think
lip oil is like a thing that's like people like
like rather than like lipstick and lip gloss. Like lip
(37:08):
oil is like kind of what people want now, and
some like brand examples. They're kind of expensive and like,
I feel like you could get something that looks exactly
the same for cheaper. But the door lip oil, oh
my word, and the summer Fridays, I don't know if
that's lip oil or oh, lip butter. That's that's kind
(37:31):
of weird, so.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Good, totally recommend time time.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Elan loves the summer Fridays.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Actually, I can't speak now. There's this girl in my
class and she, yeah, I would definitely recommend it. She
like has it.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
These are this is when you have the ten year
old Sephora children. I'm not ten, I know, but you were.
You just recently became eleven, and you were still wanting
to go to well Noel was Aphor.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I was not one.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Don't give me that furrowed brow. You were.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
She was an ten year old Alta girl.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
I was not one.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Some other like brands is like, so for blush, the
milk jelly blush, and I've seen this in Sephora. I
don't have it, but it's like it's like a twisty
stick like it a lip stick, but like it's thicker
and when you touch it, it's like it's like actual jello.
Like it feels so strange.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
We have that stuff that we got Elin for her
birthday from Lush.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh yeah, the like the body jelly. That was like
it was like I've been using it. I used it
like right when you got for me.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
It smelled so good and I was like using it right,
but I like it was like jello almost, and.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
This was explain was yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
So it was like so anyways, it got this thing
for me and it was from this brand called Lush,
and I was like, oh, you got me soap And
I was like I was like, Oh, that's so kind,
and so then I was like, oh, I must smell
it just to make sure it sounds good. So I
smelled it, and all of a sudden, I like felt
the soap and it was like jiggly. I was like oh.
(39:08):
And so then I was like what is this? So
I took it out and it was like jello almost,
and so then it was like you can use it
as a body wash. So I was using it as
a body wash. But then like one day I looked
in the thing and one of you guys like crumbled
it apart and it had like holes in it, and
I was like so mad. I was like, what did
(39:28):
you do to my jelly?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Okay, So for my friend's like birthday, we went to
like the mall and we went to like the Lush store,
and there's like bath bombs and like when they're like
when like the jelly soap stuff is on display, there's
like these giant jelly Yeah, mass I will say that,
(39:50):
and there's this giant like soap and it's like beautiful.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Who was it that went to Lush with me?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Was with me? Okay, So we had never been to
the store before we went. It's called Lush, and they have,
like Bonnie said, they have all kinds of bath bombs
and they're like in different shapes, Ninja turtles, princesses, all kinds.
But they're really super super cute. And I have to
say that people at the store were so nice. They
were all like, what do you need? You know, let
(40:17):
us show you everything. So Lush was a Lush was
a top place for us, and I would go back there.
All right, so let's do a quick rundown of everything.
We said. No, no, Larkin's gonna have.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
One last idea that was asked for. Get your daughter
an eyelash curler.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
An eyelash curler. We know elan is.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Things are terrifying.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
So I'm not trying to make fun of anybody here,
but it's not mean. It's just people put on mascara,
but like it really does nothing to their eyelashes because
you just have clumps on them and it's just like
straight out of your eye. But if you have the
eyelash curler, then actually gives the mascara a purpose to
be there because then it like combs your eyelas is
(41:00):
up and then you like and more like yeah, because
if you just put mascara on your eyes just like normally.
I mean, I guess it adds a little man but
like it just like sticks out.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Okay, so obviously we have a little bit of a
makeup judger here, But I see Elan in the car
every morning with her eyelash curler and her mascara, putting
it on before school, as if my car is just
a vanity. But yes, uh huh, you do use the
eyelash curler.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Yes, okay, that was my last all.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Right, so run us through again. We had Converse, uggs.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
iPhone sixteen legos like game currency like buy money for
like games. Uh. Clothes, Oh, I forgot to say, like
some ideas for clothes people said they want like sports gear,
And I've been seeing like ads for like Nike Cold Gear,
which is like gear for like clothes for people who
(41:52):
play sports out in the cold, and it just like
keeps you warm without being like big and puffy like
a coat.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Well, and we know we just talked about the xx
y Y or xx x Y that's what it is,
xx x Y brand, which is the apparel that protects
girls sports, So make sure you check out that as well.
And there's this other one that we I wanted to
show you, guys, I forgot. There's this this sports apparel
(42:18):
called Saved sa v D and it looks very cool.
So if you have people that are very faithful in
your life that are Christians, there's it's got a lot
of Christian imagery on it and things like that. All right,
keep going on.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Then we have gift cards, jewelry, air pods. Someone said
a car, but I feel.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Like that's excessive.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yeah, it's just like this one person like yelling car
at me because I don't know, he's kind of not
friendly to me. Oh, he's just trying to be annoying.
And then video games, room decor, money, perfume, candy, soft
(43:02):
things like blankets and jelly cats, candles and hair tools
and makeup.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
All right, awesome, you heard it here. This is our
Black Friday episode. You've now met all of my children. Bonnie,
