SO THESE ARE JUST SOME PET FRIENDLY THINGS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I WE CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING IN OUR HOUSEHOLD AND THEN WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO BRING THE JINGLE JOY RIGHT IN. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME GOOD TOYS FOR YOUR PETS. BUT ALSO ANOTHER IDEA IF THEY HAVE LITTLE ONES, YOU BRING LIKE A PUZZLE OR A BOOK OR A DOLL OR SOMETHING FOR THEM TO. BUT WHEN YOU’RE DOING THE POST PRE, I CALL IT PRE COMA. BEFORE YOU GRAB THAT BLANKET OR EVERYONE STARTS WATCHING THE FOOTBALL GAME IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A COUPLE OF GAMES JUST TO KIND OF GET THE PARTY GOING A LITTLE BIT, I LOVE KEEP EVERYBODY’S SPIRITS HIGH, BUT ALSO KIND OF WORK OFF A LITTLE BIT. WORCESTER AND YOU CAN’T FORGET ABOUT THE FEUD. OKAY, SO YOU’VE GOT WE WERE LOOKING AT THE GOLDEN GIRLS MONOPOLY, WHICH IS REALLY ADORABLE, BUT THIS IS SO CUTE. YOU GOT FAMILY FEUD. IT EVEN COMES WITH A BUZZER. EXACTLY. AND THEY HAVE ONE THAT THEY DO KIDS VERSUS ADULTS TOO. SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF GREAT TIME, WHICH IS GREAT. OKAY. THAT’S A LOT OF LAUGHS. AND THEN YOU WANT TO SET THE MOOD RIGHT. YOU WANT TO GET GOING. SO SCENE SETTERS BUT ALSO IF YOU WANT TO CHEERS. WHAT I LOVE IS THAT THESE ARE FROM OLIVE AND COCOA AND THE GREAT THING IS THAT THESE ARE THEY’RE TWINKLING FLOATING LIGHTS. AND THESE CAN KIND OF BE BE TABLE TOPPERS. BUT THESE ARE ACTUALLY THE DALENCIA CHAMPAGNE FLUTES. SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHEERS WITH THESE, WHICH ARE SO GREAT. I LOVE THEM. YOU KNOW, THESE CAN ALSO BE DECOR. BUT IF YOU BRING THESE TO SOMEONE’S HOME YOU CAN LEAVE THEM AS LIKE A LITTLE THANK YOU GIFT, WHICH IS REALLY GREAT TOO. SO BOTH OF THOSE ARE GREAT. IF YOU HAVE LIKE A FLORAL SETTING, YOU CAN PUT THE FLORAL LIGHTS THERE WITH IT AND THESE OLIVE AND COCOA, OLIVE AND COCOA OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YEAH THOSE ARE PRETTY. AND THEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SCENT. YOU KNOW HOME SCENTS ARE ALWAYS GREAT. SO THINGS LIKE CANDLES AND DECANTERS ARE GREAT. I LOVE THIS BRAND. FOR EVERY MOOD. IT’S CREATED BY JACKIE AINA AND SO SHE’S ACTUALLY A POPULAR INFLUENCER. IT’S ALSO A BLACK OWNED BUSINESS. AND WHAT I LOVE IS THAT THESE SCENTS DON’T COMPETE WITH YOUR FOOD SCENTS. SO THIS ONE IS LIKE HAS MORE LAVENDER IN IT. SHE HAS SOME THAT HAS LIKE COFFEE, VANILLA. YOU CAN GET ALL THE SCENTS IN THERE AND IT’S JUST SOMETHING TO SAY LIKE, HEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US. BUT IF YOU JUST WANT TO KIND OF SET THE MOOD, SET THE SCENE CANDLES ARE REALLY A SOPHISTICATED WAY TO DO THAT. THEY’RE FANTASTIC AND IT’S NOT TOO OVERPOWERING EITHER. EXACTLY. IT’S GOT LIKE A NICE LIGHT SCENT. EXACTLY. YOU CAN STILL SMELL WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE KITCHEN, BUT, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOMETHING IN THE BATHROOM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. NOW, ARE THESE GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR HOST OR JUST SO THAT YOU’RE COMFORTABLE AT YOUR OWN PARTY? NOW THESE ARE FOR THE HOST, OKAY? BECAUSE WE’RE A NO SHOE ZONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD. SO WHEN GUESTS COME, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR SHOES. BUT HOW COULD IT BE? IF YOU’RE THE CO HOST RIGHT. YOU’RE MY CO HOST I’M DOING ALL THE COOKING AND EVERYTHING. YOU’RE LIKE DENISE I GOT YOU I BROUGHT HAND SOAP. SO PEOPLE CAN BE SANITIZED AND KEEP GOOD HYGIENE RIGHT. ALL THROUGHOUT. SO I LOVE A GOOD ORGANIC HAND SOAP. YOU CAN GET THESE AT WHOLE FOODS WHICH IS GREAT. WE WERE LAUGHING BACKSTAGE. THEY KIND OF SPILLED A LITTLE. AND YOU CAN SMELL THAT LAVENDER SCENT, BUT IT’S NOT OVERPOWERING. SO I LOVE THAT. ORGANIC. THEY’RE VEGAN. IT’S LIKE THAT. BUT ALSO HAVING LIKE SLIPPERS AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF COZY SOCKS FOR YOUR GUESTS SO THAT THEY’RE NOT SLIPPING. AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY DON’T HAVE THEIR FEET. YOU KNOW, AND EVERYONE CAN LEAVE THEIR SHOES AT THE DOOR, BUT IT’S STILL SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE HOME WITH THEM. AND SAY, LET’S BE REAL, NOT EVERYONE’S FEET SMELL BEST. SO IF YOU’RE GIVING THEM THEIR OWN SOCKS, THEN YOU’RE CONTROLLING THE ODOR. IT’S LIKE A COZY FAVOR, RIGHT? RIGHT. EXACTLY. THEN YOU DON’T NEED THE CANDLE TO DROWN OUT ALL THE OTHER SCENTS THAT YOU GOT GOING ON THERE, BUT IT’S A NICE, UNIQUE LITTLE GIFT IDEA. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? PEOPLE ARE GATHERING. THEY’RE EITHER GATHERING AT RESTAURANTS OR THEY’RE GATHERING A LOT AT HOMES THIS YEAR. I MEAN, I’VE SEEN SO MANY INVITES WHERE PEOPLE SAYING, HEY, WE’RE DOING IT BIG THIS THANKSGIVING OR WE’RE HAVING A FRIENDSGIVING CELEBRATION AND WHAT A GREAT WAY. IF YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, TELL ME THE RSVP LIST. I’LL GET SOME COZY SOCKS AND SLIPPERS. SO THAT WAY EVERYBODY CAN BE COMFORTABLE. AND WHERE ARE THESE FROM? THESE ARE ACTUALLY FROM BURLINGTON. I MEAN, YOU CAN GET THESE AT ALL DIFFERENT PLACES. YEAH, YEAH, ALL THE PLACES WE ALL KNOW BURLINGTON, TARGET, WALMART. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SO MANY GREAT PLACES WHERE YOU CAN FIND INEXPENSIVE THINGS THAT ARE SO GREAT FOR YOUR FEET. ALL RIGHT. DENISE, AS ALWAYS, GREAT IDEAS. THANKS SO MU
