Speaker 1: We acknowledged the traditional custodians of the land. We're recording
Speaker 1: on today. Hello, and welcome back.
Speaker 2: To Eat, Sleep, Shit, Repeat, the Wildly Unhinged Podcast, all
Speaker 2: about the madness that is Anotherhood and everything in between.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to get breathlessly.
Speaker 3: I'm Kiri Cells, I'm Kelly McCarran. In today's episode is
Speaker 3: a little bit different than a regular I mean, is
Speaker 3: there really anything regular about us? But we thought that
Speaker 3: we would prep you ahead of this weekend's Black Friday
Speaker 3: sales with some epic gift recommendation. So however you celebrate.
Speaker 3: The holidays are coming up, yep, and you know we're
Speaker 3: in a cost of living crisis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first of season is going to be a
Speaker 2: little bit tricky to navigate.
Speaker 3: So my recommendation first up is have everything in your
Speaker 3: basket ready to go for the Black Friday sales because
Speaker 3: most things will be on site exactly.
Speaker 2: You don't want to pay full price for anything. Oh God,
Speaker 2: I'm up for picking pit this week.
Speaker 3: Ah, here I go, Here we go.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this.
Speaker 1: So let's start with a pitch.
Speaker 3: Shall we insert photo?
Speaker 2: Pretty much the one thing I've been dreading as a
Speaker 2: parent happened to me on Friday.
Speaker 3: Can anyone guess what it would be? No one would,
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think maybe.
Speaker 2: It's quite specific to me because of let me get
Speaker 2: into it. So it was about four pm on Friday
Speaker 2: and I get a little ding dong on my phone
Speaker 2: and it's you know, the app that we use from daycare.
Speaker 2: The line was Happy Friday Parents, and I thought, oh.
Speaker 1: It's just going to be some cute pics of the background.
Speaker 2: And it was like, we have a confirmed case of
Speaker 2: lice in the toddler room. Here's the attachment on how
Speaker 2: to deal with it. And instantly I was itching my
Speaker 2: head like, oh no, thinking back to when I had
Speaker 2: headlice as a kid and we had to do I
Speaker 2: reckon probably ten treatments to get it out of my hair.
Speaker 3: Like if anyone doesn't know what you look like, would
Speaker 3: you please describe your hair?
Speaker 2: Yes, So, I'm mixed race. I'm black and white. My
Speaker 2: hair is very coarse, very thick, very curly, very hard.
Speaker 1: To get rid of. Black.
Speaker 3: Call the curls three B four B.
Speaker 1: I'm for.
Speaker 3: Don't you love that? I know something you do.
Speaker 2: You've been listening and I've forgotten. So I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, what.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna do?
Speaker 2: This is really shit reads through the form. It was like, oh,
Speaker 2: just as I'd remembered it, you know, nothing's really stinky, stuffy,
Speaker 2: stinky stuff. So Charlie, bless him. He picked up some
Speaker 2: stuff on the way home and I had a good
Speaker 2: look through Rue's hair and I couldn't see anything, thank god.
Speaker 2: But I was like, well, I'm not gonna not do
Speaker 2: the treatment because what if there's something I've missed so.
Speaker 3: That starts an infestation, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: I didn't stop itching from four two. I went to bed,
Speaker 2: you know, it was just too much. And then I
Speaker 2: was just like this is so shit, Like this is
Speaker 2: just so shit, Like how did that little kid get
Speaker 2: headlines like it's all their fault?
Speaker 1: Well, how does anyone get handed?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: It just was seriously, actually, how do you even get it?
Speaker 1: It's head to head contact.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how did the original person?
Speaker 1: It never ends, this is the thing. It never ends.
Speaker 3: It just key going. Used to get it a lot
Speaker 3: when I was in primary school.
Speaker 2: Well, they say, because when you're a kid just all
Speaker 2: over other kids, you know, so it makes sense like
Speaker 2: you're just constantly touching.
Speaker 3: And I hated the feeling of the stuff and the
Speaker 3: buzzy things so much so sometimes I just wouldn't tell
Speaker 3: my mum when my head was itchy. And she tells
Speaker 3: this story about she was at Sea World and she
Speaker 3: was sitting behind me on a roller coaster and she
Speaker 3: looked at me and my head was moving.
Speaker 1: Oh, yuck, Kelly, don't.
Speaker 3: She was like, I've never seen so many lights.
Speaker 1: Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
Speaker 2: Kel I don't need to hear this right now. Okay,
Speaker 2: I've got to do another treatment on Friday. It's like
Speaker 2: seven days, fourteen days, so I've still got two treatments left.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we did the treatment.
Speaker 2: The picture of her she just didn't really understand, and
Speaker 2: I was like, it's like the shampoo, but we put
Speaker 2: it in your hair and then you have.
Speaker 1: This cool green cap that you get to put on.
Speaker 2: And she was just like no, no, And I said
Speaker 2: play school and she said yes, does it still smell?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We got so luckily.
Speaker 2: Charlie's sister, her partner, has two kids, and so George's
Speaker 2: like had to do some life treatments and she has
Speaker 2: tested everything. She walked so we could run basically, and
Speaker 2: was like, this is the one that works. It's kind
Speaker 2: of like the natural one. It's still chemical, but it's
Speaker 2: a bit natural, Like it smells really teat tree oily.
Speaker 2: But yeah, exactly that. You just put it in on
Speaker 2: dry hair, massage it and make it so it's like
Speaker 2: all wet all over. Chuck the cap on, wait ten minutes,
Speaker 2: wash it out, condition hair as usual, and brush.
Speaker 1: Look, we haven't had anything yet.
Speaker 2: Touch wood, does me knocking on wood because I'm so
Speaker 2: bloody scared.
Speaker 3: It's not wood. Knock on that pole.
Speaker 2: Oh there we go, good girl, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just wasn't very good. Wasn't very good.
Speaker 1: I didn't really need that. I didn't really need that.
Speaker 3: It's just disgusting.
Speaker 2: And now I just find myself looking at her hair
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 3: Waiting for it to move.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I have a sand put at school, so
Speaker 2: she often comes home with like sand in her hay,
Speaker 2: you know. So on Tuesday or whatever, and I picked
Speaker 2: her up, I was like, oh my god, she's itching,
Speaker 2: And You're like, yeah, she'll just like randomly itch. And
Speaker 2: she does actually have a little bit of cerhicis on
Speaker 2: her head.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: It actually flared out.
Speaker 2: When we were in Europe, and I was like, what
Speaker 2: the hell, Like where'd this come from? But you get sorisis, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's genetics. I was like, oh shit, So she often
Speaker 2: will itch, but now it's taken on a bit of
Speaker 2: a bigger meaning, on new meaning.
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't get in front of me.
Speaker 3: I actually it would be a nightmare trying to get
Speaker 3: knits out of your hair, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And now I don't need that right now, right.
Speaker 2: But you know what was really interesting is like I
Speaker 2: get grossed out by things, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to want.
Speaker 1: To cuddle her because I don't want to get nits right.
Speaker 1: And it really surprised myself because I just didn't care,
Speaker 1: Like when it came down to it, I was still
Speaker 1: fucking snuggling at the shit out of her.
Speaker 2: And all this because he treated her. Though Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean I had done the treatment. Let me tell you,
Speaker 2: I was keeping my distance beforefore. But yeah, they say
Speaker 2: you've got to do it like three times to get the.
Speaker 1: Life cycle of a MIT. So got two more weeks.
Speaker 3: We had electric comb because the shampoos just stopped cutting it.
Speaker 3: We had it so much, so we had like an
Speaker 3: electric comb It was so gross and it would buzz them,
Speaker 3: kill them and also comb out all the eggs.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to get to a point on
Speaker 2: I don't want to get I'm.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I really shouldn't be telling you life stories.
Speaker 1: Can move on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your peak? What's your peak?
Speaker 2: The peak is my body has been very sore and
Speaker 2: I can't have a peak.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 2: I kind of reached my absolute maximum of pain. I'm
Speaker 2: just uncomfortable, and I've still got three bloody months left
Speaker 2: of this pregnancy, so not at the end.
Speaker 1: I'm not at the end.
Speaker 2: So I decided basically to throw everything at it. So
Speaker 2: I booked my women's health physio, I booked this amazing
Speaker 2: remedial pregnancy massage, and I've got my Cairo next week.
Speaker 2: Kelly's laughing at me because it was the Kiro appointment
Speaker 2: that I said I couldn't possibly do anything else anything else.
Speaker 2: That and a lunch and then I record, no way,
Speaker 2: but yees. So I had my women's physio yesterday and
Speaker 2: the remedial massage in the afternoon, and I got my
Speaker 2: chuby grip. She gave me a massage. She was saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: I gave you exercises, share me exercises that I didn't
Speaker 2: do today, but I will do them tonight. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I've been having a lot of crotch pain, which I
Speaker 2: never had in the first pregnancy, and it's just down
Speaker 2: to I'm not as.
Speaker 1: Fit as I was. She says, you've got no glute
Speaker 1: muscle there.
Speaker 2: Thanks, thanks, I'm aware, and it just means that those
Speaker 2: muscles in my like crotch are turning on and that's
Speaker 2: why they're aching so well.
Speaker 3: Yep, like encroutch.
Speaker 2: She's like, it will get to lightning crutch stage if
Speaker 2: we don't like even out the muscles that are like
Speaker 2: kicking in. So that was really good. Gave my tuber grip,
Speaker 2: which is what I've been really wanting. You're just that
Speaker 2: like tight. I've got it on now, that kind of
Speaker 2: like tight.
Speaker 3: What I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1: It's like what you.
Speaker 2: Put on your knee when you sprain your knee or
Speaker 2: your ankle, same kind of thing. And basically it's they
Speaker 2: cut it. It's just like a big role. They actually
Speaker 2: charged me fifteen dollars. My other physio gave it to
Speaker 2: me for free. Anyway, nothing doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I do like this girl. So it's fine, and then
Speaker 1: you just put it over your head and pull it
Speaker 1: down and it just holds you.
Speaker 2: It's just like a warm hug. So I sleep in
Speaker 2: it as well.
Speaker 3: Oh, so it's supportive.
Speaker 1: It's supportive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a belly bands, the original belly band
Speaker 2: before they like marketed it and made it like a
Speaker 2: standalone product. You just use tube grip pregnancy tuby grip
Speaker 2: that would be cut and depending on the size, you
Speaker 2: can like double it over, which gives you.
Speaker 1: More of a firm support, which is really good.
Speaker 2: And honestly, it just feels like someone has lifted your
Speaker 2: belly up for you, holding you in.
Speaker 3: Isn't it a bit hot though?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really hot.
Speaker 2: When I was like at a show last night, I
Speaker 2: was all I wanted to do was take it off
Speaker 2: because the aircorn wasn't sufficient, but I had it doubled over.
Speaker 2: So I've just said to myself, don't go too hard
Speaker 2: to soon, just ease into it.
Speaker 1: So that's really helped.
Speaker 2: The remedial massage was wow. Like I was a recommendation
Speaker 2: from two girlfriends who also had been through their second
Speaker 2: pregnancies and had also felt really sore in their bodies,
Speaker 2: so I highly recommend if you are pregnant and you're
Speaker 2: really suffering physically to find a proper pregnancy remedial massuse.
Speaker 3: Going to like one of those nice massage places.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if your body is sare.
Speaker 4: You need to Yeah, don't go to a relaxing one
Speaker 4: like do, but if you want to, like if you
Speaker 4: want your body to recover and have a bit of
Speaker 4: like to get out some of those knots and stuff,
Speaker 4: and also for them to give you tips on what
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 5: Go.
Speaker 2: She was so good, like, yeah, at times it really hurt.
Speaker 2: But I left taller because my body had been stretched
Speaker 2: so a lot of like my muscles were so tense
Speaker 2: that I had like shortened on my side. So when
Speaker 2: she did still do a special bed, yeah, so I
Speaker 2: was on my side. I had like a little kind
Speaker 2: of butterfly pillow underneath my side so it supported my
Speaker 2: belly and then wedged at my back. I had a
Speaker 2: pillow for my head, but then something to hold, like
Speaker 2: they give me a little towel to hold and then
Speaker 2: a pillow in between my knees. So she worked on
Speaker 2: one side and then I flipped and she's like, how
Speaker 2: does outside feel? And it was amazing I said it, Wow,
Speaker 2: it feels like I'm long. Like when I first lay down,
Speaker 2: I couldn't, Like everything was just so yeah, like you
Speaker 2: know those things, those instruments that.
Speaker 1: Are like accordion, accordion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like yeah, I was like all in
Speaker 2: like that. And then after she'd finished, it felt.
Speaker 1: Like my stretched down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like there was a lot of room there,
Speaker 2: like she'd given me some length, like the muscles had
Speaker 2: been lengthen. But like, I mean, is she in Bonde.
Speaker 2: She's in Randwick actually, So if you're in the East,
Speaker 2: just send me a DM and I'll give you their details.
Speaker 2: If you're in Sydney's East or in Sydney and you
Speaker 2: want to go see her, I'll give you her details.
Speaker 1: Really great.
Speaker 2: She was like it was one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 2: and if you have private health you can claim it
Speaker 2: because it's.
Speaker 3: Media that's cheaper than the fancy massages.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well she actually cares.
Speaker 2: And she was giving me good tips and saying like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're pelvis because.
Speaker 4: My pelvis was tilted backwards.
Speaker 2: So she told me just all these things. And I
Speaker 2: think it's really helpful just to be mindful of your body.
Speaker 3: I think to help you so nice, because we often
Speaker 3: don't care for our bodies when we're pregnant.
Speaker 1: And I think when it's your.
Speaker 2: First pregnancy, depending on how bad your pregnancy is, it's
Speaker 2: a bit easier because it's so much more gradual the
Speaker 2: growth that you're experiencing, whereas in the second everything is
Speaker 2: so much looser.
Speaker 1: And just alsop so quickly.
Speaker 2: Exactly, So I think, throw money. I know money's type,
Speaker 2: but just throw it at it, like if you can,
Speaker 2: if you can. Because boy, even though I didn't have
Speaker 2: a big sleep last night because I was out on
Speaker 2: the town, honey, like, it felt like a nice sleep,
Speaker 2: Like I woke up not as sore and not as.
Speaker 3: Like, have you got a pregnancy pillow yet?
Speaker 1: I actually got a new one.
Speaker 3: I love pregnancy pillows. Yeah, so I kept in mind
Speaker 3: for an embarrassing amount of time.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think that's good.
Speaker 2: I had one for rue, but it was so big
Speaker 2: it was like one of those life size one, which
Speaker 2: wasn't really my vibe. I figured out that I just
Speaker 2: want a pillow between my knees, and then I want
Speaker 2: a butterfly pillow, so the one that goes that you
Speaker 2: just kind of sleep on on your side and wedges
Speaker 2: you in your tummy, wereges you in your back? That
Speaker 2: is what I need because I feel a lot of
Speaker 2: pulling on my stomach when I'm laying on my side.
Speaker 2: I just don't like the sensation. It's kind of like
Speaker 2: a tingly, ripping feeling, which is apparently the really thin
Speaker 2: bit of skin from your ribs. You've got your abs
Speaker 2: kind of coming in towards where your belly button is.
Speaker 2: But then there's this really thin layer of skin epidemus
Speaker 2: maybe something like that that actually is different in men
Speaker 2: than is a woman. So men's is really thick because
Speaker 2: they're not made to stretch. Ours is really thin. So
Speaker 2: that's usually what you can feel. The sensation is that's
Speaker 2: really thin skin stretching.
Speaker 5: Ya.
Speaker 2: It's disgusting and I always get it when I'm laying
Speaker 2: down and it makes me really nauseous because it's just like,
Speaker 2: but that butterfly pillow is so good. A Lincoln in
Speaker 2: the show notes it just like, you know, wedges under
Speaker 2: your belly, so your belly isn't being pushed as far down,
Speaker 2: okay AnyWho, So I'm just feeling good. Body's feeling atle
Speaker 2: bit better, and it's just even the drive over here
Speaker 2: because the drive from my house to your house is
Speaker 2: about it. It can be from thirty minutes to an
Speaker 2: hour depending on traffic, depending on what time I leave,
Speaker 2: if I leave on time. But in the two weeks
Speaker 2: that i've come here before, obviously this week I've been
Speaker 2: really struggling on that drive home. My body is just
Speaker 2: so so sore and obviously home, but the drive over
Speaker 2: the small was like, I felt fine, like and usually
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 3: Feel myself starting to get yep from sitting down.
Speaker 1: So that's I so glad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of self reminder.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that self care is very important.
Speaker 1: It is. You need to do it. You deserve it.
Speaker 1: You're growing a human.
Speaker 2: You're running a fucking marathon every single day for nine months,
Speaker 2: ten months.
Speaker 1: Really better get into today's episodes.
Speaker 3: Gift Guide twenty twenty four. Key happens to be an
Speaker 3: incredible gift giver.
Speaker 2: I just love that you have validated that for me
Speaker 2: because it's something that I know to be true and believe.
Speaker 1: But to hear you say that.
Speaker 3: No, you really are. I am a good thought person,
Speaker 3: like I will think of.
Speaker 1: Nice, really thoughtful. Actually you are, Oh.
Speaker 3: I just meant like, I'll think of nice gifts, but
Speaker 3: I'm very unorganized. Oh yeah, I am the person that
Speaker 3: asked you last week when my wedding addiverse three was whoopsie, Daisy, whoopsie,
Speaker 3: whoopsie Daisy. He who are you buying for this year?
Speaker 2: So Charlie and Rue for sure. Then we've got Pop
Speaker 2: so Charlie's dad, and then we have the cousins. So
Speaker 2: there's about eight of them.
Speaker 3: Oh god, so they've got a kids, not many adults.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and my godparents who live overseas, so I have
Speaker 2: to get crafty with their gifts because I've got to
Speaker 2: post it toasts.
Speaker 1: So yeah, not too many.
Speaker 2: We are families, like reasonably sized, but we don't do
Speaker 2: Charlie's siblings and their partners.
Speaker 1: It's only presents for the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Adults no, yeah, yeah yeah. We used to do
Speaker 3: everyone I know.
Speaker 1: So this is just the first year that you haven't. No.
Speaker 3: No, last year was the first year and I was
Speaker 3: off it to be honest, I love gifts.
Speaker 1: Do you do Secret Santa?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, but like it was offensive how many presents
Speaker 3: were under the tree before I.
Speaker 1: Did notice that about you, Like you guys would have
Speaker 1: so many.
Speaker 3: It was so fun. I like stuff. Yeah, you doing
Speaker 3: Christmas presents. I find it really fine. So but Mum
Speaker 3: was like, now that there's kids, you know, Christmas is
Speaker 3: about them. So we do Secret Santa for the grown
Speaker 3: ups and we only get to shop from one person.
Speaker 1: Do you know who you've got?
Speaker 3: I've got my sister so she's so easy and she
Speaker 3: was like, yes, oh, so you know who each other gets. No,
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to, but you do. And my sister
Speaker 3: in law has got me, and she potentially is going
Speaker 3: to be like she's absolutely the loveliest, slightly hippie person
Speaker 3: that you will meet. She potentially is gonna be like
Speaker 3: Kelly has too much stuff and she'll just bloody donate.
Speaker 2: Oh tell I'm going to tell her not to do that.
Speaker 3: I'll be like, I want something, ye tell her, I'll donate.
Speaker 3: Just tell who the present?
Speaker 1: You don't the present to me, donate to me.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so we do Secret Santa and then for
Speaker 3: all of the kids, and then I'll get something for Loua.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I do like little things for friends if I
Speaker 3: see them, I will as.
Speaker 2: Well, but I haven't really included that. Like often it
Speaker 2: would just be, oh, do you know what I do?
Speaker 2: Actually in my apartment building. I buy cookies, but I
Speaker 2: put them in jars.
Speaker 3: Oh so they think you made them. That is just
Speaker 3: really good.
Speaker 1: Marry Christmas from us. Yeah, it's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: For daycare, I did it last year and I'll do
Speaker 3: it this year.
Speaker 1: I've never done that.
Speaker 3: I did a huge crate and I just filled it
Speaker 3: with stuff and dropped it off on a day where
Speaker 3: Lenny wasn't there because I didn't want them to make
Speaker 3: a big fuss. Oh yeah, And I just filled it
Speaker 3: with beauty products, like nice stuff for around the house,
Speaker 3: like yummy things that they and the idea was them
Speaker 3: they could just like pick and choose what they wanted
Speaker 3: from it. Another like tip for like little presents as well,
Speaker 3: is to with the advent calendars and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3: Just get them and then break them up because you
Speaker 3: generally get so many little things really good value and
Speaker 3: you can just like put little things together. But I
Speaker 3: didn't realize what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's start off with gifts for people in
Speaker 5: the mom, mother in law, grandma aren't category.
Speaker 3: So people over fifty to fifty five.
Speaker 2: Yes, so this is my godmother for sure. I would
Speaker 2: probably just give them this one thing. So we were
Speaker 2: over in Europe. They live in Holland, and we went
Speaker 2: and visited them for a week and Rue was just
Speaker 2: at like the perfect age to just fall in love
Speaker 2: with them. What she did, she just loved it. I
Speaker 2: talked about it in the episode when we got back,
Speaker 2: and they were like, you've got to send us the photos.
Speaker 2: You've got to send us to photos, and I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I will. So what I'm going to do is get.
Speaker 1: This digital photo frame.
Speaker 2: But basically what you can do right is you can
Speaker 2: download the app and then you can send the invite
Speaker 2: to like three other people who can have access, so
Speaker 2: everyone can upload.
Speaker 3: Their photos and then they just appear on the screen exactly,
Speaker 3: So they will just plug it in and it'll appear
Speaker 3: on the screen, and then I'll give them like the details, like, hey,
Speaker 3: download this app and then you guys can put the
Speaker 3: photos that you took, because they took a bunch.
Speaker 2: Of photos of us too that we've never seen, and
Speaker 2: then it all lives in the cloud, so we'll have
Speaker 2: access to it too. And I just thought that was
Speaker 2: such a good idea because, like, I just love the
Speaker 2: idea of a digital photo frame when you don't live
Speaker 2: close as well to the family, and just the way
Speaker 2: that you can continually add stuff. So instead of sending
Speaker 2: them photos, I can just like upload new photos of
Speaker 2: Rue and they'll.
Speaker 3: Be like oh, and they come on. My mum got
Speaker 3: this from my brother in law last year for Cipra Santa.
Speaker 3: She's obsessed with, at least in the kitchen, so she
Speaker 3: sees it all the time. I love it, and we
Speaker 3: can just like, because she doesn't see the kids often, yeah,
Speaker 3: we can just chuck whatever and then it just like
Speaker 3: turns up. She's also got a lot of her travel
Speaker 3: photos on there, so she loves to see the African
Speaker 3: animals and such.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course, of course, great.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The one I've recommended is I did a bit of research.
Speaker 2: There are a few getting around, but this one consistently
Speaker 2: came up with good reviews. So it's the FRAMEO ten
Speaker 2: point one inch Wi Fi digital frame and black get
Speaker 2: a different colors too from Amazon.
Speaker 1: But I've linked in the show notes.
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at what one we've got because it's
Speaker 3: also very good, just in case anyone wants a second option.
Speaker 1: Skylight Skylight Nice.
Speaker 3: That's the one that she's got and it's really good.
Speaker 3: I can't fault it.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, we've got two options there.
Speaker 3: I've got home wears, but nice specific pieces that you
Speaker 3: choose for someone knowing that they would love so that.
Speaker 3: I absolutely love the online store Fentin and Fentin.
Speaker 1: That's gorgeous.
Speaker 3: They have the most interesting, unique things, lots of different
Speaker 3: price points. Often it can be quite expensive, but you
Speaker 3: can also get things for hundred one hundred dollars. You
Speaker 3: just get really cool vases, lamps, rugs, throws, pillows, really
Speaker 3: really unique. So I really love that store to just
Speaker 3: if you know you're buying for someone that's sort of
Speaker 3: a bit special, special, but love something a bit unique. Yeah,
Speaker 3: ehd blow dryer Oh okay, very specific. But you know
Speaker 3: how it's just that sort of generation and that sort
Speaker 3: of age group. They often don't splurge and buy themselves
Speaker 3: nice things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've probably got a hair dryer that they've had
Speaker 1: for twenty.
Speaker 3: Years, twenty to thirty years, and it's still just like
Speaker 3: an old man blowing hot air in them, like you know,
Speaker 3: like the hotel one. Yeah, So buying them something really
Speaker 3: special like that if they don't have one, or if
Speaker 3: they've had the same one for thirty years, just what
Speaker 3: a nice treat they'll feel so like.
Speaker 1: I love that idea.
Speaker 3: Love got me a nice hair dryer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they'll actually really appreciate it as well, and
Speaker 1: they'll use it.
Speaker 3: It's something that I'm not saying at aol because they
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't use it. But a hair dryer, a really
Speaker 3: good quality hair dryer, and the new one it's got.
Speaker 3: There's so much technology. It's way less damaging on your
Speaker 3: hair because as you get oldie hair thins out and such,
Speaker 3: you need to worry about these sorts of things.
Speaker 2: Definitely a kindle, yeah, great.
Speaker 3: It's a lot cheaper then a tablet because often people
Speaker 3: would be like, why wouldn't you just use a tablet
Speaker 3: a couple of different reasons. A lot cheaper to get
Speaker 3: a kindle, and you can't access other things, so it
Speaker 3: encourages just to read. It's also better for your eyes
Speaker 3: because it's not like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah they've got like even if you've got the one
Speaker 2: with the back light, it's good light for your eyes exactly.
Speaker 3: It's like reading a book, it's not like looking at
Speaker 3: a screen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's better to do before bed and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing. So if there's a reader in your life,
Speaker 3: this is a great gift of someone that wants to
Speaker 3: get back into reading.
Speaker 2: I gave Charlie a kindle a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: and it's been his favorite I present.
Speaker 3: Actually, it reminded me how much I loved my kindle
Speaker 3: until what did I do? I either sat on it
Speaker 3: or dropped it in water or something. I don't remember,
Speaker 3: but it was quite a shame because I had so
Speaker 3: many books that I hadn't backed up on it. Anyway,
Speaker 3: moving on a nice robe is also a really good idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you libing? I like those homie ones
Speaker 2: or the home ones bonds.
Speaker 3: Actually, or you can get these really nice linen ones
Speaker 3: with your initials embroidered on them. Do you think bad
Speaker 3: threads do them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: If you hang it up, though, if you don't hang
Speaker 3: it up, they get so crumpled. Lennon sucks in that regard,
Speaker 3: but it does feel so good. So just have a look around.
Speaker 3: There's going to be so many, I don't know. Just
Speaker 3: something a little bit more special, the one that you
Speaker 3: pick up at Big w Oh. Definitely really nice fabric.
Speaker 1: Yeah, love that.
Speaker 3: He gifts for similar age range. But for men, Dad, deal,
Speaker 3: dad in law, Pa, your uncle, that.
Speaker 2: Kind of thing typically when we would buy Christmas presents
Speaker 2: for like Charlie's parents. They have everything, right.
Speaker 3: Which is why it sort of needs to be that
Speaker 3: little bit more special special.
Speaker 2: And like one year we were like because they would
Speaker 2: always be like no presence for us, no presence for us,
Speaker 2: But we started to make a donation in their name
Speaker 2: and they just loved that so much, so we did
Speaker 2: like twires one year. We've done to like a rural
Speaker 2: indigenous education program, We've done to women's legal aid. So
Speaker 2: weally do like, you know, a couple of hundred bucks
Speaker 2: and put a donation and then aim and just put
Speaker 2: like a cut out of it and took card kind
Speaker 2: of thing. So we'll probably do the same. I think
Speaker 2: this year for.
Speaker 1: Pop that's hell love that. Yeah, I think it's just
Speaker 1: really nice.
Speaker 2: So we always try to like tailor it to someone
Speaker 2: that needs the help and support. Charlie is really good
Speaker 2: at that at finding like different kind of niche.
Speaker 3: That will mean something to that person. Yeah, like the
Speaker 3: Cancer Foundation for everyone, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: So it's a bit boring, but I think for us
Speaker 2: that is the natural thing that we want to do
Speaker 2: because I feel bad buying more stuff for people.
Speaker 3: That have or don't want it for the same.
Speaker 1: Exactly when they've got everything they need.
Speaker 3: When I say that I love stuff, I do want
Speaker 3: to clarify that I do not condone like just buying
Speaker 3: shit for the safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I still everything was always very thought out, which is
Speaker 3: why I get annoyed about it. I think people you
Speaker 3: get annoyed about having to buy presents for people because
Speaker 3: you feel obligated, or because you can't think of anything,
Speaker 3: or because you're like they don't need anything or they
Speaker 3: want anything.
Speaker 1: It's difficult.
Speaker 3: It's difficult for that category. I got this from my
Speaker 3: dad for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. I
Speaker 3: got him like a Lenny tea. Yes, but he's not
Speaker 3: a dorky one. Yeah you know how you I mean,
Speaker 3: shout out. I love Vista print. But you used to
Speaker 3: just get like one photo with the name those really fun.
Speaker 3: There've been all over TikTok and it kind of looks
Speaker 3: like a cool vintage band tea. Yes, yes, and it's
Speaker 3: got like Lenny and then it puts like it you
Speaker 3: uploaded a bunch of different photos and got Percy. I've
Speaker 3: got a Percy one and I am obsessed with it.
Speaker 3: I love it so much. So I want to recommend
Speaker 3: to this one shop in particular because the one that
Speaker 3: I got for my dad, I bought it through a
Speaker 3: TikTok ad and the fabric sucked. And they're not cheap.
Speaker 3: They're like sixty or seventy dollars, so they're not cheap
Speaker 3: and you want the fabric to be good and not
Speaker 3: feel awful and sweaty and yucky. So my percy tea
Speaker 3: I got from a shop called We'll link everything in
Speaker 3: the show notes Sunny Days Apparel. Okay, I think she's
Speaker 3: just an aussy lady startup like in Australia. It's just
Speaker 3: like a nicer fabric. Yeah, better just better quality overall.
Speaker 2: I should get that for Charlie's dad and put Billy
Speaker 2: on it, their dog.
Speaker 3: He would love to do it with the dog.
Speaker 1: He would love that. Yeah, it doesn't have.
Speaker 3: To be a grand kid. It could be a dog.
Speaker 3: It can be it could be you, like favorite child,
Speaker 3: like you can do so many funny things and at
Speaker 3: home golf set if they're into golf, and that's thing.
Speaker 3: I got this for lou class Christmas. But it would
Speaker 3: be great for this sort of like a golf for
Speaker 3: someone that loves that sort of thing. But obviously you
Speaker 3: can't go golfing all the time. I just got it
Speaker 3: on Amazon, and it's basically like this big sheet thing
Speaker 3: and then like these little sticky ball things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just fun, have a little hit.
Speaker 3: Have a little hit at home or whatnot. Or a
Speaker 3: massage gun, yeah, this is a good guess, or just
Speaker 3: like a massage but not a chair or something really cumbersome,
Speaker 3: just something that they can sort of carry around the
Speaker 3: house and just you know, they're so good.
Speaker 1: Honestly, there's so good.
Speaker 3: As he get older, you get sourer.
Speaker 1: You do you do hell gifts for.
Speaker 3: Male partner or a brother or a bill brother in law.
Speaker 2: I really struggled with this one. Charlie is one of
Speaker 2: the hardest people in the world to buy for. But
Speaker 2: typically each year, and no, this is so boring, I'll
Speaker 2: do clothes, socks and jocks because the dog eats his socks, so.
Speaker 1: He gets to the end of the year and he's.
Speaker 3: Got and he probably doesn't shop for his own clothes.
Speaker 3: So nice, so iconic. Generally at this time of year
Speaker 3: has great sales.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so usually I'll buy like a couple of pairs
Speaker 2: of shorts, a couple of teas. Yeah, actually he does
Speaker 2: need a new pair of sneakers, so I was going
Speaker 2: to put that on the list. So it's I'm always
Speaker 2: like what do you want? And he's like nothing. So
Speaker 2: then I'm like, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you need that you won't buy?
Speaker 3: Because clothes like they nearly struck up exactly if you've
Speaker 3: clothes times a little a little bit worse for we were.
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's stock you up.
Speaker 1: When when the socks are down to one, prepare with them.
Speaker 1: I'm moving or up. Yeah, so that's it. Sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: a bit boring with that one. No, what have you got?
Speaker 3: I've got noise canceling headphones.
Speaker 1: Oh, a good one.
Speaker 3: I just think that headphones in general are a fantastic
Speaker 3: gift you could get someone the wireless like the little
Speaker 3: ear pods. I just personally am not a fan of
Speaker 3: them because you lose them.
Speaker 1: I got the overhead ones.
Speaker 2: Actually, Charlie forgot his when we went overseas, so he
Speaker 2: bought a pair jbl ones.
Speaker 3: Yep, you know why, because they're in essential they I
Speaker 3: would buy.
Speaker 1: Them too good.
Speaker 2: I love wearing them.
Speaker 3: The sound. Never did you you never understood my obsession?
Speaker 1: I was just like I'll just put my AirPods in.
Speaker 1: It's the same.
Speaker 3: And also easily you can lose air pods or they
Speaker 3: fall out or Yeah, bounttery life.
Speaker 2: Is amazing on them make the new ones. Like I
Speaker 2: have only just charged it for the first time. I
Speaker 2: charged it when we got back, and I've been using
Speaker 2: it every day just for like my thirty minute walk
Speaker 2: or whatever, and then while I work and I've just
Speaker 2: had to charge them.
Speaker 3: I wear mine for hours upon hours a pound hours
Speaker 3: every day and I have to charge them every once
Speaker 3: week and it takes half an hour. Yeah, they're so good,
Speaker 3: great reco If they're a bit of a beer lover,
Speaker 3: I mean, you could do this with whatever alcohol they love.
Speaker 3: But you can get like a beer advent calendar, so
Speaker 3: twelve or twenty four. My sister did this for my
Speaker 3: brother in law, her husband one year because he is
Speaker 3: obsessed with beers and basically he just got like to
Speaker 3: the house was delivered a bunch of craft like different interesting,
Speaker 3: unique beers so he could try a bunch and then
Speaker 3: figure out the new ones that he liked. And he
Speaker 3: could do this with like if they liked Gin, you
Speaker 3: could sign them up to a garden Street Club, which
Speaker 3: is a unique gin every single month, or a wine subscription,
Speaker 3: or like just whatever they like. I love the book
Speaker 3: at an advent calendar, or a subscription service that you
Speaker 3: can pay for for the year. So they're always getting
Speaker 3: something yummy that they'll really like.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that.
Speaker 3: And if they're into music, you could get them a record.
Speaker 3: We're going to link where you can do this from.
Speaker 3: It's a company called Blim and Blum. You can get
Speaker 3: heaps of different personalized stuff, but you can get like
Speaker 3: a record and printed the lyrics to their favorite song
Speaker 3: on it, and then it comes like in a frame
Speaker 3: ready to go, so you just put up on the wall.
Speaker 1: That is so cool.
Speaker 3: Okay, I love that. Like, imagine if you love like
Speaker 3: Charlie loves music, Yeah, you love music, you would die
Speaker 3: if you received something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so pretty and thoughtful.
Speaker 3: Also, these are so like we've just categorized by gender.
Speaker 3: Obviously everything can be for everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: He gives for a female partner slash sister sister in law, bestie. Right,
Speaker 3: So I love yours. Yours is so cute. I just felt,
Speaker 3: honest truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I think that I want to just carve
Speaker 2: out some time for us to spend some time together
Speaker 2: and do something fun. So tickets to a show, maybe
Speaker 2: book a nice dinner reservation, maybe go see a movie
Speaker 2: like get gold class tickets to movie. Yes, yeh, a
Speaker 2: night's accommodation away like invest in your friendship, something that
Speaker 2: you can do together.
Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean, by the way, that you have
Speaker 3: to pay for the whole thing. So what you know,
Speaker 3: last week I spoke about me and my two girlfriends.
Speaker 3: That's what we do instead of gifts. Yeah, so we
Speaker 3: pay for the hotel. We don't buy each other gifts anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that exactly. So you could book the
Speaker 2: hotel and be like, hey, let's do this and you
Speaker 2: can split it or whatever you want to do or.
Speaker 3: If you can afford it, great splodeon shout everything exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but I just thought that'd be nice.
Speaker 2: And then something just lovely that you could do together,
Speaker 2: even like a massage, like a.

Speaker 2: baths or something like that. Oh yes, you could do
Speaker 2: the baths there and then have lunch after with a
Speaker 2: little bit of champagne.
Speaker 3: Like definitely recommend to the bars. Stay expansive, but you
Speaker 3: can hang out together. It's a bad experence.
Speaker 2: I think it's like sixty bucks to minutes, but it's
Speaker 2: an experience. Yes, I think investing in a especially.
Speaker 1: Like time time as we love that.

Speaker 3: chocolate or like shitty samples. They've got minis which are

Speaker 1: We love a savvy perch.
Speaker 3: I will to the end of time say that my

Speaker 3: hair looks astronomically better than it did before I got
Speaker 3: my air ap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 3: It's not I'm often not the fluffy lion mane anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was sometimes what would happen.
Speaker 3: Yes, often what would happen because I would let it
Speaker 3: air dry and then brush it, and it's naturally curly,
Speaker 3: but it's bleach. It just would never end. Well, now
Speaker 3: I just use my air app. It's so easy once
Speaker 3: you get the hang.
Speaker 1: Of it, and your hair seems healthy. Yeah, right for
Speaker 1: having used teeth as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, twice a week for the past year or so. Yeah, yep.

Speaker 3: either like a beach umbrella or one of those canopy things,
Speaker 3: or a beach chair or maybe all of them, Like

Speaker 3: Yeah, last Chris, you actually can get cheaper ones from cotton.
Speaker 5: You can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not as cute, but well.
Speaker 1: I would argue the cool cobana designs aren't that cute,
Speaker 1: but they are very sturdy.
Speaker 3: Oh, I haven't actually seen them.
Speaker 2: They're very basically they're coming out with more like they
Speaker 2: do like Christmas edition, like special prints and things like that,
Speaker 2: but they're not I wouldn't.

Speaker 3: they stick in the ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to dig a hole first.
Speaker 3: I do. It still comes out.
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, you should get the cork obana. It's much easier.
Speaker 3: I got one from cotton On in a sale last year.
Speaker 3: I haven't used it yet, so I can't report back.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you can't recommend that because you haven't even
Speaker 1: used it.

Speaker 2: They sent me the one that I recommended, the stacking
Speaker 2: puzzle set, and Rue loves it.
Speaker 1: She's like La Lab except she calls the.
Speaker 2: Girla chicken because she doesn't know that that's a different one.
Speaker 1: And platypus octopus and a little kangaroo.
Speaker 2: But they are so cute. They're really sturdy and they're
Speaker 2: just easy. Like Office Works, everyone.

Speaker 3: the office Chris Kringle office gift.
Speaker 1: That's really cute. That's actually really funny. You can do
Speaker 1: printing like pictures on T shirts.
Speaker 3: There two Yes, I think that would be more of
Speaker 3: the office scol those cool shirt vibes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that was my first one. My second
Speaker 2: one I think is I actually had got this last
Speaker 2: year for Rue.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I was so jealous.
Speaker 1: I know, the Kip and co velvet Santa Sack. I
Speaker 1: just like as a kid.
Speaker 2: You know you're always watching American movies. Everyone has Santa
Speaker 2: sacks and I do not have fue.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't have one.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't want to get into it, but I
Speaker 2: got one for Rue and hers has her name on it.
Speaker 1: They're really cute. They're like different colored.
Speaker 2: Velvets with these like big pomp poms, very kip and
Speaker 2: coke kiss. She I love these and they're just like
Speaker 2: a bit special and they're so sturdy, like you have
Speaker 2: them forever, and they're big so you can put all
Speaker 2: the gifts in, especially if you're someone like me that
Speaker 2: typically travels into state. So it's just one big hole
Speaker 2: ho ho back in the.
Speaker 1: Globber. The Globe Active ergonomic scooter. Drew loves hers.
Speaker 2: We got this for her for Christmas last year. It's
Speaker 2: a three or four and one, So you convert it
Speaker 2: from something that they sit on and you push. Then
Speaker 2: you take the pushing element off and they just kind
Speaker 2: of sit and push themselves along and then that seat
Speaker 2: comes off and that turns into a scooter and it's
Speaker 2: just kind of like all the stages of them learning
Speaker 2: how to scoot.
Speaker 3: That's so cute. Just Sam.
Speaker 2: You can get ones that have light up wheels, and
Speaker 2: she is just obsessed with it.
Speaker 1: Like hot tip, they can scoot earlier than you think
Speaker 1: they can.
Speaker 2: I crew was still sitting down, and then I went
Speaker 2: to my girlfriend Hannah's house and her son, who's like
Speaker 2: quite a lot younger than Rue, was scooting around and
Speaker 2: Brew hopped on the scooter and was like so good
Speaker 2: at it, and I was like, okay, got it. So
Speaker 2: she's not my baby anymore. She's a toddler that can
Speaker 2: do things. But the scooter is so good. And there
Speaker 2: are a bunch of them are on sale at the moment,
Speaker 2: and I think Black Friday will be even more heavily
Speaker 2: discounted Bonds next gen.
Speaker 3: Shorts these are adorable, so there's nothing more. I hate
Speaker 3: that so many of the boy shorts are so long.
Speaker 3: I want to see those deliciously chubby legs.
Speaker 1: Why are we hiding them? Also, it's summer.
Speaker 3: Exactly, so I always like shop in the girls section
Speaker 3: for lens shorts because yeah, why do only the little
Speaker 3: girls get tap their chubby little legs?
Speaker 2: Also, these are unisex, These are so unique.
Speaker 3: Colors are a bit.
Speaker 2: Oh well, you know, yeah, you can't win them all.
Speaker 2: But basically, like a terry toweling, I think kind of material,
Speaker 2: and then they've got like a little.
Speaker 3: Stripe down the cute.
Speaker 2: They're really sweet and bonds always have sales, especially around
Speaker 2: this time of the year, so you'll get lucky.
Speaker 1: And then the other one if you do have a
Speaker 1: girl or whoever wants to dress in this rue, I
Speaker 1: got her a couple of these bonds tea dress last year.
Speaker 1: So good for daycare. Yea, so good for daycare, just
Speaker 1: like easy.
Speaker 2: They've got like random prints on them, so they breathe
Speaker 2: the ball. Yeah, and they are so good, and bonds
Speaker 2: are always that little bit bigger, so you get more longevity.
Speaker 1: Out of the west.
Speaker 2: They are so highly recommend those, and there's like a
Speaker 2: few new designs for the summer as well.
Speaker 3: What about you, kel My first recommendation is the Moppet
Speaker 3: Kids Learning Tower. So this is the learning tower that
Speaker 3: we've got. It took me so long to jump on
Speaker 3: board the learning tower thing. I think you were like, oh, no,
Speaker 3: you should get one, and then for so long.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: They look really Dylan Druze honestly the best investment and
Speaker 3: it's such a good gift because they are like a
Speaker 3: little bit pricier I am. I'm an affiliate with them,
Speaker 3: so I have a code Kelly gets you a discount.
Speaker 3: I don't remember how much the code is, but like
Speaker 3: whatever discount is a discount. They might even have it
Speaker 3: for more off this Black Friday. And the reason why
Speaker 3: I chose this one is because I use it more
Speaker 3: than len.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I use this as a step ladder all the time,
Speaker 3: so a lot of them actually, don't take your weight.
Speaker 3: You've got to be quite careful. This takes up to
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty kilos. Your partner can probably get
Speaker 3: on it too.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 3: Like Luke is ginormous. He can still use his step ladder.
Speaker 1: It looks really well made.
Speaker 3: It's so well made, and it's just like the best
Speaker 3: thing for a wingy kid or a kid that always
Speaker 3: wants to help a little bit annoying that now he's
Speaker 3: realized he can push it around the house to access.
Speaker 1: Rude the same thing.
Speaker 3: It's really so please stop rearranging everything.
Speaker 1: No, she pushed it to the front door the other day. Oh,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why is this here?
Speaker 3: Why? Yeah, Percy likes to sit on it. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: that's a really good gift for that sort of age
Speaker 3: group because they grow with it as well totally.
Speaker 2: Also, do they have the one like, I know, mine's
Speaker 2: a little bit different, but mine's a step ladder that
Speaker 2: turns into a table and chair.
Speaker 3: No, this one doesn't turn into a table.
Speaker 1: We'll link my one that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's my happy helper. But Yossi is like a
Speaker 2: little bit cheaper and it does the same thing.
Speaker 1: But when you got.
Speaker 2: Those from a marketplace, right, I got mine from marketplace.
Speaker 2: But what I love about it is that, like, especially
Speaker 2: if you live in a small apartment or a smaller house,
Speaker 2: like having the step ladder and then also having the
Speaker 2: table that they sit and eat at, you're just saving
Speaker 2: a bit of space because it's really really handy. So
Speaker 2: olling that to a baby swing or like an actual
Speaker 2: swing for a bit of actual swing for a baby
Speaker 2: up until oh like it's still up till twenty kilos, Like.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, that is so cute.
Speaker 3: I'm actually just so irritated by this because Luke sometimes
Speaker 3: he does things and I just think, why, why does
Speaker 3: your brain work that way? So one day I was like,
Speaker 3: where's the swing? Because it was like up like hung
Speaker 3: up outside. You can hang it anywhere. You just need
Speaker 3: a beam for support. Like the way that it comes though,
Speaker 3: you don't need to like build something to hang it from.
Speaker 3: And it's just it's really cute. It's like fabric. It's
Speaker 3: really safe. It's got like the proper belt and then
Speaker 3: the little support. So it's great, so really chic. And
Speaker 3: he threw it out because it was moldy. I was like,
Speaker 3: so did you not think he spotted like a tiny
Speaker 3: bit of molders? Like why did you not wash it?
Speaker 3: It wasn't cheap and Lenny always wants to go on
Speaker 3: the swing at the playground. I was like, he would
Speaker 3: have just grown into it.
Speaker 1: Even Yeah, he would have really liked it anyway.
Speaker 3: So it's a great game quite over that also a
Speaker 3: personalized book. Oh I love that, Like he's a character, yes,
Speaker 3: And heaps of different places do them. Some of them
Speaker 3: you can get ones from Big w and they're just
Speaker 3: really generic, like Lenny's first Christmas. I remember there were
Speaker 3: I got one. It was so affordable and I got
Speaker 3: one for like the other kids and it was their
Speaker 3: first Christmas. But then you pay you can get some
Speaker 3: really expensive ones, but they are so detailed and they
Speaker 3: have like all of the different family members and pets
Speaker 3: and stuff, and they're just so cute and it's such
Speaker 3: a nice thing to have.
Speaker 1: I actually had one of these when I was little.
Speaker 2: Oh my cousins gave it to me, and it was
Speaker 2: my favorite bookcase. Also thinking about like representation when you're
Speaker 2: little characters that have you name, like that was never
Speaker 2: going to be me.
Speaker 3: And also you choose like hair color, skin color when
Speaker 3: you're building the character thing.
Speaker 1: It's so fun and I remember as a kid it
Speaker 1: being my favorite book.
Speaker 3: Actually, I remember I had one about ballet and I
Speaker 3: was the character and it was also my favorite book. Yes,
Speaker 3: even though I never did dance in my life. Hell,
Speaker 3: he gifts for baby two to five, so kid told
Speaker 3: the kid, oh.
Speaker 2: My god, this is my favorite. Obviously my favorite one.
Speaker 2: The Little Nation Ultra light Weight balance bike. Kelly and
Speaker 2: I have had a little bit of a back and
Speaker 2: forth on this one, but this is actually going.
Speaker 1: To be Rue's gift this year. So she loves the
Speaker 1: scooter and then I'm thinking the balance bike is the
Speaker 1: next thing.
Speaker 3: But can you give us your reason why you wouldn't
Speaker 3: just get a bike.
Speaker 1: Well, we live in a tiny.
Speaker 3: No balance bikes as a normal little bike, they're light,
Speaker 3: they are like, yeah, I don't know, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: know what my reasoning is, but I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: I've just seen a lot of my girlfriend's kids have them,
Speaker 2: and it gets some confident without having to do training wheels. Yes,
Speaker 2: so I thought that, like, you get them the balance bike,
Speaker 2: they go through all of that, and then they get
Speaker 2: a shiny new bike, like a proper bike, and then
Speaker 2: I can use the balance bike for the next baby.
Speaker 2: I don't know what my reasoning is, anyway, if you
Speaker 2: want to get one, I think it's a good idea
Speaker 2: and I'm getting real one.
Speaker 1: No good, do it next up.
Speaker 2: I have got the shout out to anyone out there
Speaker 2: who hates silicon.
Speaker 1: Kids plates and bowls. I'm just saying gross, They're disgusting.
Speaker 3: The fairy part makes the food taste different.
Speaker 2: It does because I will often eat something I've cooked
Speaker 2: rough and it's like, why does this taste like dishwashing detergent?
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter if you hand wash them. It's gross.
Speaker 2: I know we're trying to like be silicony, but that's
Speaker 2: chilkin good. Oh, because everyone's against plastic because plastic's bad,
Speaker 2: right anyway.
Speaker 3: Give them a plate and teach them to be gentle.
Speaker 1: A good friend of mine's Sarah. Shout out Sarah. She
Speaker 1: listens to the pod. She is a shitter Tommy about Mushy.
Speaker 2: But Mushy is really hard. They're like a Swedish brand,
Speaker 2: really hard to find. They sail out really quickly.
Speaker 1: You had to buy online, and I just I'm not
Speaker 1: a great online buyer. Anyway, I was Byer.
Speaker 2: I was in store at the memo and saw that bibs,
Speaker 2: you know bibs they do like the chic dummies.
Speaker 1: They're Almoso, a Swedish brand.
Speaker 2: They do this two piece dinner set and so I
Speaker 2: got one for ru. So you get a plate in
Speaker 2: a bowl and the bowl actually comes with its own lids,
Speaker 2: so you can take it on the go or like
Speaker 2: chuck it in the fridge with leftovers. And basically it's
Speaker 2: made out of like one hundred percent food grade material.
Speaker 3: It's it's not silicon.
Speaker 1: It's not silicon, and it's not like a plastic.
Speaker 2: It's something I've been on the actual website and I
Speaker 2: couldn't find what it was actually made out of. But
Speaker 2: it can withstand microwave heating, dishwasher cleaning, and freezer temperatures.
Speaker 2: But the lids can't be microwave. But I went back
Speaker 2: and bought another set because I was so impressed with them.
Speaker 2: They're just super sturdy. They're kind of just.
Speaker 1: Like what we had back in the day, you know, like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they're awesome.
Speaker 2: I think it's like forty bucks for the two The
Speaker 2: mushy ones actually like twenty seven dollars just for one bowl.
Speaker 2: Oh so I think the Bibbs ones you get a
Speaker 2: bowl and a plate and a lid. So that's why
Speaker 2: I put this one in and because I've tried it.
Speaker 2: But the mushy ones are also great if anyone wants
Speaker 2: to go with that brand and has that a nearby store.
Speaker 3: It was my.
Speaker 2: Niece's birthday recently and Charlie goes, hey, what should we
Speaker 2: get Rosebud for a birthday?
Speaker 1: And I was like Rosebud or her name's Rose.
Speaker 3: And I was like, custom yetty Sims? What it was
Speaker 3: the cheat for Sims when you wanted to get heaps
Speaker 3: of money?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Really, don't ask me. I don't know why you just.
Speaker 2: Said that, Like it just came out of my mouth.
Speaker 2: A custom YETI So, you know, however, all the kids
Speaker 2: have the little yetti drink bottles.
Speaker 3: No, okay, well no idea what a YETI is?
Speaker 2: Well, YETI is like this brand that they just make
Speaker 2: really good insulated products, so like in camping stuff, drink bottles,
Speaker 2: chili bans or Eski's.
Speaker 1: So they also do drink bottles and.
Speaker 3: A lot of people.
Speaker 2: I always like shit, but the kids get the drink bottles.
Speaker 2: So Gold gave one to Roof for her birthday. And
Speaker 2: when I was at my girlfriend Hannah's house in Queensland,
Speaker 2: her kids had their names on them and you can
Speaker 2: do it on the Yetti website. So the little three
Speaker 2: hundred mili ones like so for like a two to five,
Speaker 2: or you can get the size up a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's like forty bucks. But it's like a proper insulated
Speaker 2: stainless steel water bottle that keeps the water really really cold.
Speaker 2: And they're not too heavy. They're heavier than like a
Speaker 2: plastic water bottle obviously, but you can get their name
Speaker 2: on it, which is so cute, so they can take
Speaker 2: instead of no, Yetti's the brand.
Speaker 1: But then you get like.
Speaker 3: How big it is. It's ugly.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: No, I think that it's a cute drink bottle, but
Speaker 3: why is de Yetti. Why is your brand so obnoxiously big?
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Some people like that anyway. They do special colourways for Christmas,
Speaker 2: and there's like a peach one out at the moment.
Speaker 3: I love the peach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pitch is really cute. Rue's got hot pink, well
Speaker 1: the orange.
Speaker 2: She loves yeah, all of them, And like all my
Speaker 2: girlfriends have these water bottles too. I'm going to get
Speaker 2: one because in summer, like I only want one, and
Speaker 2: you can get really big sized ones as well, and
Speaker 2: they're so good they don't leak.
Speaker 3: So they say cold all day.
Speaker 1: Is that all dad? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they say
Speaker 1: cold all day. So I love them. Rue loves them.
Speaker 2: And they've got just like the lift up drinking spout
Speaker 2: that you drink out of and so you can just
Speaker 2: chuck them into your bag and not worry about it
Speaker 2: oh or anything like that. But it's like quite cute
Speaker 2: because when you're little and something has your name on it,
Speaker 2: you love it.
Speaker 1: But also like a really good gift that they're going
Speaker 1: to use. They can take it to daycare, they can
Speaker 1: take it to school, they can have it at home.
Speaker 1: And then my final one is.
Speaker 2: Shout out to all my friends who have kids that
Speaker 2: are older and just like a way more prepared for stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a.
Speaker 2: Bit niche, but it's called the Tawale tollable body board.
Speaker 2: Now you get this from boat camping fishings.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: It's really funny. So imagine a boogie board, but at
Speaker 2: the front of the boogie board there are two little handles,
Speaker 2: so basically the kid just lays on it holds on
Speaker 2: on and you just toe them. So you toe them
Speaker 2: on like the beach where the waves like meet the sand.
Speaker 1: We did it on our trip in Byron and Rue
Speaker 1: loved it. Like you just run around like zigzagging them
Speaker 1: through the waves. They like go up on the little
Speaker 1: mini waves.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is genius.
Speaker 1: And look my girlfriends did say they do have one.
Speaker 1: It came up, but it's not as good quality, but
Speaker 1: you could get the came up version. This is fifty bucks.
Speaker 2: But they're durable, like they're from BCF, like they're proper
Speaker 2: well made things. There's a couple of different colors. But fuck,
Speaker 2: just like such an easy win to do something at
Speaker 2: the beach where you have fun.
Speaker 3: They have fun, everyone's getting energy out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, exactly, And it was just so funny. I'll
Speaker 2: put up a picture of rou on it. She just
Speaker 2: did not stop smiling it it.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so cute.
Speaker 2: So I think it's a really good Christmas gift for
Speaker 2: summer especially, like that's just paying for itself really, and
Speaker 2: the kids can tell each other around. We dinked them
Speaker 2: so we put like two girls on one together and
Speaker 2: they were.
Speaker 1: Just like loving it. It was really sweet.
Speaker 3: Anyway, want that for me?
Speaker 1: Well? Well then Charlie was like can I get on there?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I can't pull you, lou people me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can pull you. You can share it. It's fine for adults.
Speaker 1: All right. Those were all of my ones for two
Speaker 1: to five. What were yours?
Speaker 3: First? Are perfect age to introduce a poppy or kitten
Speaker 3: into the family? What is that realistic?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, lady's getting one. I don't know if everyone
Speaker 1: can get that one.
Speaker 3: Why do people hate pets? Yes they are at no,
Speaker 3: but everyone reacts like, well.
Speaker 1: It just funny that you're recommending it on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Get them a pet.
Speaker 3: It is a great age to get a pet because
Speaker 3: they're old enough to like help okay, and it to
Speaker 3: be their responsibility, but young enough like they're gonna grow
Speaker 3: up with a pet and it's just going to be so.
Speaker 1: Cute, sweet. And I also like that person who's gonna
Speaker 1: have like a little little friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think that what a great time a
Speaker 3: dog or a cat in a box with breathing holes obviously, Okay, anyway,
Speaker 3: these ones are probably a bit more rid. This one
Speaker 3: of the best things I've ever purchased. I got it
Speaker 3: for his birthday this year. The Rebounder mini trampoline.
Speaker 1: So good.
Speaker 3: Rue has loved it sick as well when she's been
Speaker 3: over and her.
Speaker 1: Cousins have it as well.
Speaker 3: She loves Oh my goodness. Yes, it is fine for
Speaker 3: you to go on if you want to have a
Speaker 3: little hip hip jump and he jump. It's got like
Speaker 3: a little handle thing. The todd the ones so that
Speaker 3: they can safely sort of really practice jumping, and the
Speaker 3: mini ones are a lot better. Like orthopedic surgeons, they
Speaker 3: have a lot to say about yper trampolines because of
Speaker 3: their joints, and I don't know what the it's something.
Speaker 2: To say his way for them to jump when their
Speaker 2: joints are still a bit like jelly exactly.
Speaker 3: Because it's so firm, so it's like the best trampoline
Speaker 3: for them. Honestly, hours of endless fun. Yes, hours of
Speaker 3: endless fun. A great way for them to get energy out. Generally,
Speaker 3: they're pretty portable, you can store them away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a great side. Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: Okay, this one actually isn't my recommendation, but there's so
Speaker 3: many people that don't like too much screen time and
Speaker 3: this was just has been heavily recommended. The Yochho Mini.
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 3: I'd never even heard of it. So it's a kids
Speaker 3: screened free bluetooth audio player. So it's an all in
Speaker 3: one travel device that plays stories, music, podcast radio okay,
Speaker 3: to wake us. Like, it's got a clock in it.
Speaker 3: You can use it as a speaker or with headphones. Apparently,
Speaker 3: like there's the little cards that you can put in
Speaker 3: to help with speech and that sort of thing. Apparently
Speaker 3: it is the greatest thing ever. I'm not a haterre
Speaker 3: of screen times, but I still would actually like, I
Speaker 3: just think that this is fantastic. Anything to encourage them
Speaker 3: not to always want to watch TV. Let he does
Speaker 3: it anyway, But.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of those viewfinders and used to put
Speaker 2: them in, Like it's like kind of a toy, like
Speaker 2: kind of old school looking, but it looks like a
Speaker 2: little toy and they would obviously just love playing with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it feels like there's a lot more that
Speaker 1: you can do with it. I love that as.
Speaker 3: It really good. Yeah, it's just it's Goto point seven
Speaker 3: and it's just on Amazon. So right on car. Oh,
Speaker 3: if you've got space, do you have it already? We
Speaker 3: got the one for I thought you did. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: is like a proper car.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can.
Speaker 3: You please click on it and have a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
Speaker 3: If your kid loves vehicles and you have space.
Speaker 1: I always wanted one of these when I was little.
Speaker 3: Samers so cool. Also, have a look on Facebook Marketplace
Speaker 3: because you potentially can get them cheaper obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, that's such a good time.
Speaker 3: I've seen heaps unlike auctions. But the thing is you
Speaker 3: don't know, You've got to pay for it before you
Speaker 3: see it, and you don't know if it would work
Speaker 3: or not. Yeah, so Facebook Marketplace is better because you
Speaker 3: can make sure that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely still works.
Speaker 3: And I really want to get this for all of
Speaker 3: the kids for Christmas to have at my parents place.
Speaker 3: Jumping castle, water park stop. Perfect time to get it
Speaker 3: this weekend while they're on special. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Looking at the one that you have everyone I know,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that looks really fun. You want to
Speaker 1: get in it?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I don't know that has one
Speaker 3: has been has said that it has paid for itself. Yeah,
Speaker 3: in hours and hours and hours of babysitting when you
Speaker 3: can just sit back watch them, observe, make sure that
Speaker 3: they're being safe with a wine in your hand while
Speaker 3: they spend hours on hours. I live because you can
Speaker 3: have the spray thing on. Apparrently, it takes like five
Speaker 3: minutes to inflate. I always imagined, you know, back in
Speaker 3: the day everything would take so long time.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, yeah, so good.
Speaker 3: Not really bad for electricity, like it's apparently just the
Speaker 3: outside they're outside.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. I'm so excited to get this and
Speaker 3: then see the kids play with it over Christmas.
Speaker 1: This is such a good idea. We did it last year.
Speaker 1: We bought the kids a slippery slides.
Speaker 2: Yes, so like after we all lunch, the kids all
Speaker 2: got it and we like put like the.
Speaker 3: Always my dream to have it was.
Speaker 1: I know it was really cool. But this is so cool,
Speaker 1: it's like a step up from that. Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, well maybe I've added this to my list.
Speaker 3: Oh well, finally anything for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, actually haven't yet shared this with Charlie because it
Speaker 1: is quite expensive.
Speaker 2: But I really want to name plate necklace that says
Speaker 2: Rue oh Cue, and I found.
Speaker 1: One like that. I really like. It's from Baby Anything,
Speaker 1: so she is a lady startup. I think she's Sydney based.
Speaker 1: And it's like a custom cursive name necklace in nine.
Speaker 2: Carrac yellow gold, and it's like kind of inspired off
Speaker 2: the carry necklace.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, and it's just super cute.
Speaker 2: But I think minimum is for three letters, it's fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred and then it goes up to three grand for
Speaker 2: eight letters, so it is a splurge. Lucky Rue has
Speaker 2: three letters in her name.
Speaker 3: Yes, but what you then want one for the new baby?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we don't know what the name is going
Speaker 2: to because we don't know the gender, so that'll be
Speaker 2: the next you know, what do you want for your birthday?
Speaker 1: And I'll be like, well, another one. So that's on
Speaker 1: my wish list for so long, it's so for me
Speaker 1: to get it for myself. But I just haven't got
Speaker 1: around to it.
Speaker 3: So maybe a stack as well.
Speaker 2: I love a stack, and I was waiting for the
Speaker 2: perfect one because there are a lot of nameplant necklaces
Speaker 2: out there, but this one just has like a little
Speaker 2: bit of spunk.
Speaker 3: It's on a bit, but it's quite retro looking it.
Speaker 2: Is, and I like the thicker gold chain as well.
Speaker 2: So so expensive though it is very expensive. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure that the fingerprint one.
Speaker 1: Yeah cute. Well, maybe Santa will drop it into Mah.
Speaker 3: I don't really have anything on my wish list I
Speaker 3: could do, but I'll just purchase it all for myself
Speaker 3: this pay But that's just.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, Like I might buy this for myself.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I think just like stuff that I really
Speaker 3: have wanted, Like I need some new sheets, so I'll
Speaker 3: probably get them while I can get them on special
Speaker 3: this weekend. God, I'm so boring. I've gotten to an
Speaker 3: age rore. I just get so excited about buying stuff
Speaker 3: the kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's like the fun and the magic in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to see their little face.
Speaker 1: Also, we have everything we need.
Speaker 2: We can buy what we want if we want it,
Speaker 2: or save up to buy it or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But like the kids like, that's the magic exactly.
Speaker 3: So I would say that just buying some things that
Speaker 3: I need for around the house. Yeah, sheets, maybe do
Speaker 3: vake cover, maybe a tail set my porno right then,
Speaker 3: oh god, I find it so dull.
Speaker 1: I love it. I need to get some sneer sheets.
Speaker 3: All right, we will link everything that we have talked
Speaker 3: about in the show notes. I have a final recommendation
Speaker 3: for the episode. This is a recommendation for you. Like
Speaker 3: a lot of the Vinni's and Salvos have pointed out
Speaker 3: that it's a really great time to actually clear out
Speaker 3: your toys.
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, I saw this the other day.
Speaker 3: So the thing is a lot of people do it
Speaker 3: after Christmas when their kids have gotten an influx of
Speaker 3: new stuff and they're like, oh fuck, I've got to
Speaker 3: make space. They'll clear everything out. Then do it now,
Speaker 3: and be generous if you can, because with what you're
Speaker 3: giving away, because there are a lot of families that
Speaker 3: will be going to Salvos and Vinnie's and charity stores
Speaker 3: for Christmas, so it's a really good time to donate.
Speaker 3: But please don't donate rubbish. I hate even having to
Speaker 3: say this. Yeah, those places are not your dumping ground.
Speaker 3: They are not a skip bin. No, do not give
Speaker 3: them something that you wouldn't give a friend. Yeah, to
Speaker 3: give it confession. Yeah, really pisses me off when you
Speaker 3: drive past some people have just dumped shit out there.
Speaker 2: Well now it's illegal, Like I have a friend who
Speaker 2: because you can't even put it in the bins anymore.
Speaker 2: Like you have to do actual well anyway, list in
Speaker 2: my area, you have to do actual inside drop off.
Speaker 2: They've got like a little cart there, but they had
Speaker 2: bins and they were always overflowing.
Speaker 3: Overflowing with absolute shit.
Speaker 2: But you get a ticket if you leave the bag like.
Speaker 1: In front of the bin.
Speaker 3: How do they know it's you?
Speaker 1: Though there were cameras and they saw the license plates,
Speaker 1: so they got a fine.
Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, people should not be allowed to dump their shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah okay. And final recommendation apart from that is at
Speaker 3: the moment share the dignity campaign. It's a campaign that
Speaker 3: happens every year. Is Live. Will put a link in
Speaker 3: the show notes to the cause. What it is. Basically,
Speaker 3: you've got I've got a bunch of handbags over there
Speaker 3: ready to go, and a box of products. It's basically
