And welcome back to the show.
You know one of the mainstays of new
day during the holidays has always
been our gotta habits and almost
every year since we started in 2010,
producers Susie has shared the
gifts the staff is hoping for.
These, you know, gotta habits for Christmas.
In July, we wanted to share the
gift ideas you can give now,
but also might make the list in December.
So sometimes she's known as Susie Claus.
She's here with our latest round of gotta.
Of it and also I have to say
bravo this entire set.
Everything she brought Christmas to us today.
Thank you so much the
the hardest working woman on set today.
And I do love Christmas.
Although I have to say I probably would
keep Christmas where it is after today.
Yeah, after your experience
today I don't blame you.
I don't blame you but I am excited
about this first gift because
I've seen this at total wine.
Yes was it? Is it a total wine?
And and you, this is the artesian
home cocktail maker and it is.
It is a great gift to have for yourself, but.
Also, to give that you're thinking
maybe new home isn't this,
basically a Keurig for cocktails.
That's what it's kind of known as,
and it was actually one of Oprah's favorites,
won lots of awards invented by
bartender Ryan close. It's just.
It's actually the setup was super easy.
All of these beautiful glass jars.
Just you put in the whiskey that their name,
you know they have on the label or the
liquor, whiskey, tequila, rum or gin.
You're going to trade that
out and then vodka.
And then I.
This is a lemon drop,
but I'm going to make you.
To see how easy it is,
there's filtered water.
In here you could make cocktails if you
wanted, but here's what we're gonna do.
Here's the pods,
and as you can see behind me,
all these different the pods have
booze in them.
They no, they don't have the booze
and they have everything else.
The bitters all
made better with. It tells you what
it's made best with. Copy that,
and we've got all the alcohols here.
So we're just this is
the Long Island ice tea.
It isn't Long Island.
Use a couple of different does,
which is why I wanted to show you this.
There's a barcode on the pod we
started and it tells you what to do.
Hit next, it wants to make sure the rums
here it is and then it wants regular,
strong regular. OK, fine.
I've already had some cocktails today
and then look it's starting to mix so
drink and you're gonna see the drinks
start to bubble as it takes them.
What look at that I do.
I see the gin bubbling and
here right now is the vodka.
And pretty soon,
little tequila.
The tequila is going
OK. That's a lot of I did not even
know that all that went into a great.
It's an easy clean up and one
of my friends has this and she
said the thing she loves about
it is when she throws a party.
It's also the entertainment.
Ohh it is entertaining.
It's fascinating,
everybody can make their own OK.
And there we go.
Alright, let me try this.
OK, see if the artesian
artesian this is the
artesian home cocktail maker.
Wow, I know what it doesn't disappoint.
Yeah people are in love with what
it makes and and and like I said,
it's the entertainment.
The lemon drop, the lemon
drop I made right before. Ohh
ohh I'd very much like that.
That's your thing alright very
good wow bartizan Bartlesville
alright alright this is Sonia God a
great gift it is a great gift and
what I love about it is the Fleece and
Patagonia has been putting where the
money where their mouth is for years.
For 30 years they've been dealt developing
plastic based Poly recycled plastics
for their Poly esters and they're
now at about 88% of all their fabrics
are using out of soda pop bottles.
So you're giving
the gift of sustainability.
And the environment and this amazing
beautiful still feels so great,
right? They are expensive, but they
are a investment. A friend of mine,
a dear friend of mine got me one of
these for Christmas a couple years
ago and I love it and it probably
still looks as good as it did.
Anybody beautiful?
Yeah, it's beautiful and I love their
kind of commitment to sustainability.
Yeah, also fair trade. They pay a
higher price to the factory workers.
They get to keep that money.
So I like that idea as well.
That's amazing. OK alright ice cream.
This isn't just any ice cream,
it's Jenny's ice cream and
you can go ahead and try it.
This is their bombastic or
bombastic Sunday cluster bombs.
Yes, OK flavor. This one right here.
This is their lemon.
This is their lemon bar and I like
it cause it's not it's dairy free.
I love that. What I love is
this is a great gift to give.
I was given this gift as a subscription.
You can get Jenny's ice
cream as a subscription.
You can get 4 flavor you can give
someone 4 pints they'll send
you a month and it'll be some
of the new flavors that are out.
And it's packed beautifully it.
Comes frozen, it stays frozen.
It's got dry ice in it.
It's delicious.
Can you imagine getting a gift like this?
OK and every month something arrives.
So This is why I love it as a guy
to have it because for those people
you can't think of anything else.
This Jenny's ice cream subscription
and it's not a huge
amount so it's not like you're saying, like
oh, you're gonna eat all this? I mean like
that's a perfect amount
for two people to share.
You know you're gonna get
four of these pints though,
so every month, so that's exciting.
That's it's a wonderful gift.
It's actually
a really great gift idea. I love to.
Find people OK. Alright, I'm here for
that and last but not least you you
I'm gonna use double negatives.
You can't not smile.
This is chalo and they say they also
use Hello Chalo which means let's
go in in Hindi and this was started.
It's Bellevue based OK and started
here and I love this because they take
the things we love about Seattle all
the iconic that the fishermen look at.
This is one of your favorite.
I know this
one. I love because it's
like a cracking. Very
the octopus, and then they twist it.
The artist Danielle,
who's been doing this,
I think since 2015. Just I mean,
you just this one's a Sasquatch.
This is, this is what
I've seen these at. You know,
when you walk along the waterfront
they have them and like the
more touristy place Seattle
has them, their main stores at
the airport at the airport and I
feel like as great as it is for
tourists like everyone in the PNW
should have like this one here,
isn't that this is what I want for
Christmas and these are great toes.
I think they're a great gift to give.
Somebody who might have lived
here is moving here,
had a cruise going away to college.
They make also wonderful little mugs
and little little bags for your little
bags. So like maybe if you're not
like a if you have someone you know.
Sometimes when you get a gift for someone
and you and it's something bright like this,
you wanna get something that's smaller so
they do have those little bags. But if you
like chalo and I just I you just smile
every time you see it, I love them,
you know and I love this very because
you know I believe beautifully
made these are gonna last you
I love it alright. Susie,
these are absolutely wonderful gift ideas.
Birthday, Christmas, whatever.
Thank you. You're welcome.
You're just our favorite little elf.
