  Speaker 4: me a basket full of Bachelor themed gifts. It would
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: be the greatest gift ever and so personal. So we
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: have a couple if you want to put together something

  Speaker 4: super low, a nice medium gift. It's incredibly soft, it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: by room Service, and it's rose themed, but it's also
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: got leopard inside, so it's not over the top themed.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It's really really cozy.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I think anytime the holidays roll around and I find
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: something comfy and cozy, I know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: My wife will like it. Like I just go with it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know she can have enough cozy things. And

  Speaker 2: yet somehow my t shirts still disappear into her drawers
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: at times.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I still have a packaged because I'm going to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: giving it to the Bachelor fan in my life. I'm

• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ashley, I need you to add my thing in there. Then,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it's a rose journal from the Rifle Paper Company.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Anybody it's a writer, and I think it's becoming more
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and more popular today as we're on our screen so
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: much for people to kind of turn to writing words
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: down again, we just kind of I think it's it
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: resets us, it brings us back, We get our thoughts out.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: As you mentioned just a few episodes ago, you're a
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: huge journaler.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You Oh, well, I am not a huge journaler. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: wish I was. Currently.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I want to write down my goal twenty twenty six
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: goal is to write down cute, funny things that the
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: kids did throughout the day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: That's fun.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But I haven't journaled since Bachelor Days.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Okay, well let's get you back at it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: This is a rose embroidered journal from the Rifle Paper Company.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful so you can like display it. It doesn't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have to be like hidden in a drawer, unless you
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: want your thoughts to be hidden in a drawer.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: It's I mean, when I kind of look at.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: This, it's so pretty that you know, when you check
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: into an Airbnb, people kind of write who they are
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and where they're from and what their experience was you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: see that sometimes at airbnbs. This kind of looks like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: something like that, where you could have it on the table,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: people would pick it up. I think it's beautiful full
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: obviously rose themed for our Bachelor fans out there, those
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: are some of our choices now.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Actually, we do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Have a couple other things in the list that I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: think could be big highlights. Actually, I also really I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: think this is cool. My wife is a huge bag person.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: She loves bags. It's kind of her. I guess one
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of her only vices in life is just selling bags,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: buying bags, showing off bags, talking about bags.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I've learned a lot about bags.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's so funny. I'm not a bad girl.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: She loves bags. Yeah, bags.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So I had to add a bag to this gift guide.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The Hearts and Roses beaded shoulder bag is what I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: went with, kind of sticking with that rose theme. You know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you don't want to be overly bachelor, you know, if
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you're a fan. Sometimes this bag is when you can
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: take anywhere and nobody's going to like see you wearing it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: They're only going to be like, wow, that's a pretty bag.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This bag from Francesca's. Actually, if anybody's wondering.

  Speaker 2: worked really hard on this list. I did a lot
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of researches. I know I think you did too. But

  Speaker 2: woven from one hundred percent pure mulberry silk, this Blissy

• 9:03
  Speaker 2: This is a rose sick silk pillowcase. I think it's pretty.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: But also I just think sleeping on silk has been
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: life changing for me. And I think Jessica would say
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that it's good for your skin.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: That is the reason to do it. It's also good
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: for your hair. It helps prevent breakage, all right. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: a quick rundown of the items that I still have
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: on my list. I steal you for a sex sweatshirt.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: How cute is that it's on Etsy? And then, of course,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: how can we have a complete How can we have
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: a gift guide without including Ben's book Alone in Plain Sight?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Come on the refurbished edition. How do you properly say
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: that the updated edition?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that works. It's extended now, it has It has
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a couple chapters on obviously being a dad, being a husband.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: The whole book is set up to help people feel
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: less alone, and I think the holiday season is a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: good time for people to be reminded that they're not
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: alone in this world. So that's very sweet of you.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: To add that to your list, of course, And there
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: are so many bachelor books out there, Hey, give your
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: friend an entire collection. That's the kind of thing that
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: you can actually probably get in time now on Amazon,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: so you can get a whole library of bachelor books.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Really recommend the Courtney Robertson book, the Andy book, Ben's
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: number one, then Nick's book, and I do think that
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Sean Lowe's book is also very captivating. All right, those
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: are all on Amazon. Ben's book is in paperback now
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: for eleven fifty eight, So that is a steal, absolute steal, goodness,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: absolutely absolute steal. If you listen to him regularly on
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: this podcast, why would you not spend about twelve dollars
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: to read?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You also get some good insights in that, I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: as well. You get some insights into the breakup, to
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: life after the breakup. It's not all bachelor focused, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: so I think if you're a Bachelor fan, you'll get
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: what you want. I'm hoping if you have somebody in
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: your life that's not a Bachelor fan who's feeling disconnected,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I think they could read it and still enjoy. You know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: some of the stories that are a part of it one.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Thousand percent, And I love the parts about one of
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: your friends you talk about a couple of friends that
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I'm yeah, okay, finally, will you accept this Rose wine tumbler?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: You can find that on Etsy from Chloe's Corner Shop.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Everybody loves a tumbler, and I have to say, even
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: though my kitchen is so freaking full of tumblers, every
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: time I get a new one gifted, I don't regifted.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I will use this one day. I'm always
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: losing tops straws. They get JANKI, so I'm always replacing
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: a templar. Not to say that it's not wonderfully recyclable
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: and all that. You know, it's definitely better for the environment.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah. Okay, and then finally the Forever Rose.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: This starts at seventy dollars. These roses last for over
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: three years.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I actually would argue maybe a little longer. I've had
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: my Forever Roses for a while now.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Really they used to say that they only lasted a
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: year the brand that I was most familiar with, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: this Forever Roads is over three years.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: These are from Ecuador.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: They're gorgeous, and they allow you to get a whole
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: bunch of different colors.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Whatever's going to match the decor.
• 12:29

• 12:33
  Speaker 4: sized options as well.
