- Boy, oh, boy, you're here on a good day.
Actually...
[cheers and applause]
Well, actually, you're here on a day that falls
between our 2,000th show and our 12 days of giveaways.
So there are better days to be here, but you know...
[cheers and applause]
It's between there, so that's a good day, right?
The holidays seem to start earlier and earlier every year.
It seems like in a flash we went from ice frappuccinos
to pumpkin spice lattes
to having to draw our Christmas trees on our "holiday" cups.
Target has had Christmas trees up since Halloween.
That's crazy. I think we should get through
Thanksgiving before we celebrate Christmas.
That's just me. I mean...right?
[cheers and applause]
I mean, don't get me wrong. I love the holidays.
And I truly believe that it's better to give than to receive.
I love giving, and-- but you know,
we don't even start the 12 days until after Thanksgiving.
Besides, how many of you here, you just came to see me, right?
[cheers and applause]
You don't want gifts. You'd be happy if you left here
with sore legs and "Hotline Bling" on your--on your head.
[cheers and applause]
[singing sorely] You used to call me
On my cell phone
Late at night
That was fun.
Although I love surprises. I really do.
So hold on to your underwear.
It's day one of 12 Days, everybody!
[cheering]
Before--before I show you your gifts,
I have a little bad news.
Last year, our mascot was my favorite one ever.
And he was Dancer. We had Santa's reindeer Dancer.
Unfortunately, he was not available this year.
Luckily, someone else was available.
So say hello to Prancer.
[Andy Williams's "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" playing]
- It's the most wonderful time of the year
[crowd cheering]
With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you
Be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time
Of the year
- To kick off our 12 Days,
I am gonna take care of everyone on your holiday shopping list.
We are gonna start with two companies
that are a big part of 12 Days this year.
First, our sponsor Visa Checkout.
You all have heard me talk about them for two years,
and what I love about it is that they make it so easy
for you to shop online. All you have to do is
sign up once, your payment information is saved,
and you can shop at websites like William-Sonoma
for all of your kitchen needs for your home.
Visa Checkout is offering free shipping,
plus $20 off orders over $100,
so get to Williams-Sonoma
and start shopping with your $250 Visa gift card.
[cheers and applause]
All right.
All right, for the fourth year in a row,
The Container Store has been helping us
decorate and organize our set, and this year
they have put their state-of-the-art Elfa systems
in the Ellen shop. They have everything
for your holiday gifts, from their gift-wrapped wonderland
to over 10,000 ingenious products
that help save both time and space.
So get wrapping with this $500 Container gift card.
[cheers and applause]
Now...
Y'all know that I love buying and designing homes,
and I want to make sure they're always protected and safe.
With HD video streaming,
the Nest Cam can keep an eye on your home, family,
and you can find out what your pets are doing
during the day while you're at work.
But what good is a Nest Cam
without something to watch it on?
How about a laptop that converts into a tablet?
[cheers and applause]
And...it--here's this,
it weighs less than two pounds
and has a crystal-clear HD display,
making it perfect for work and play.
Thanks to Google, you're all getting a $500 Nest Cam
and the Asus Chromebook Flip.
[cheers and applause]
Crazy. Right?
Crazy.
[cheers and applause]
You know what else you can do on your new laptop?
You can binge-watch thousands of movies and TV shows
like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black."
Netflix gift cards make the perfect gift,
and you can get them at places like Target or Best Buy.
But today you're getting a $600, five-year Netflix gift card.
[cheers and applause]
Now...
Of course--of course,
with a cool laptop you're gonna need a state-of-the-art printer.
The Epson EcoTank comes with two years of ink that lets you
print up to 20,000 pages right out of the box.
Get ready to print, scan, fax, and never run out of ink
with this $500 Epson printer.
[cheers and applause]
And this is amazing.
Since the printer is sold at Best Buy,
you know what else Epson is giving you?
A $250 Best Buy gift card.
[cheers and applause]
That's right.
And finally, let's take care of the kids on your list
with the hottest gift on the planet.
With 25 years experience,
Swagway is the original manufacturer
of hands-free smart board
with an eco-friendly battery.
You can fly down the street for 20 miles on just one charge.
Get ready to be the coolest person on the block
with this $400 Swagway.
[cheers and applause]
All right.
[cheers and applause]
Very cool.
Your gifts today--your gifts today are worth over $2,800.
I want to thank Sylvester Stallone.
I'll see you tomorrow. Be kind to one another, bye.
