hello everybody and welcome back to our
Channel today we are yeah yeah yeah... hmm that threw me right off
we thought we would sit down with you
guys in our tiny house on wheels and
walk you through a gift guide for the
particular folk that we are particular
or particular folks that you are yes it
is the holiday so of course this is
coming to you for those last-minute
Christmas shoppers which I've always
been one of them we still have quite a
bit to do but honestly it can be used
year round if you're looking for a
birthday gift for someone or a thank-you
gift for a minimalist you know
housewarming that possible is our unless
you can you can just gift if it's a
Monday if you want let's jump into it
and start with our first category which
is intangible items in Tasha better
intolerable items intangible means to
not touch the first one I've actually
never personally used because we are
members at a specific gym but think
about class paths for someone in your
life who might be transient like
ourselves on the road living van life
this is how we shower this is how we
stay fit and class Pass gives you the
opportunity to go to any gym anywhere
that signed up so you could be in tirana
one day and then drive down to Chicago
and go to a fitness class and a yoga
studio and a shower and everything in a
new city over yeah I think it's a pretty
good idea to the second one is honorable
membership so you guys have heard us
talk about audible before it's a great
service for downloading books and
listening on the go whether you have
that commuter in your life or someone
again that's living on the road we find
ourselves listening to so many books and
podcasts while we're on the road so we
will leave a link to all this below you
were gonna say whether you're a commuter
or just dyslexic Gaiman audible is a
great solution I think you can read just
fine thanks buddy welcome you want to do
speaking of books yeah
well it's hard to do it now we have a
book everybody in case you didn't know I
just want to quickly say thank you to
everyone who's downloaded I know a lot
of you have and I'm sorry if this is
gonna sound like a plug but we do want
to mention our ebook come on yeah just
buy our books basically we're so proud
of it it's 52 plant-based recipes quick
easy delicious and it's awesome you can
put it right on your phone you can
quickly scroll between pages if you want
to look up a recipe or a sauce and also
makes a great gift we actually included
a gift option so when you go to checkout
you can select gift and choose the date
which you want to give it to them so you
know Christmas morning they can wake up
to something delicious and tasty in
their inbox yeah definitely great plug
thank you okay enough of that the next
thing is experiences so my sister a
couple of Christmases ago gifted me a
candle and inside the candle was this
little IOU a day at the spa and ever
since then we've been going to the spa
as a Christmas gift to each other from
each other so you get the gift she gets
the gift and honestly in this day and
age when we're all so busy and even when
we're together you're often on your
phone checking email or whatever it
might be this day at the spa with her is
my most favorite day of the year or one
of my most favorite days every day
that's probably why it's my favorite day
anyway good yes
another idea is one year I know we
gifted your sister course to photography
lessons or pottery lessons or just
something that helps you learn but have
an experience together one of my
girlfriends went to like a succulent
class the other night wait honestly
there are so many different classes
available you could do a woodworking
course a mechanic's course which I would
personally love I've clearly but yeah
that's another great way to like not buy
a consumer packaged good along all of
those notes along all those notes I grew
up in the theater with dance and
everything so growing up my big gift
from my parents was always either a
concert ticket or I took it to the
theater
the Broadway I keep saying theater I'm
from the theater dolly
when I just loved going to plays growing
up and going to concert it's live music
yeah or even just the movie theater
right it doesn't need to be enough pizza
yeah because movies are expensive
nowadays and it's such a full popcorn
it's a it's a nice outing you know you
don't really talk them different kind of
friend you might gift that one too
that's you know that awkward uncle my
let's go see a play I think that a man
and I try to do instead of gifting is
we'll go away together or book a weekend
getaway group your siblings and gift
your parents a weekend away like last
year we did for your family we all went
to Prince Edward County and it yeah
which wasn't like it's like we got on a
plane and it was a huge vacation it was
you know just an air B&B a few hours
away and you know we bought our own
groceries and cook their own meals but
it's still an experience and you're kind
of out of the city so that was it was
actually really fun
it was Oh buddy we didn't even talk
about gas or grocery cars well obviously
that fits really well if there is a van
lifer in mind yes
gasps gasps gasping figured out electric
vehicles yet so gas gets expensive and
yeah it would be a nice treat to be able
to fill up your tank on someone else and
then as well as wellthey alone a grocery
gift card oh yeah I find in my opinion
is great for something like whole food
so a man and I premium grocery store
exactly we never find yourself shopping
at Whole Foods just because it's so
expensive but they do bring in exciting
plant-based products that we'd love to
try so getting a gift card and you're on
the road and you're in a new city and
you can pop in Trader Joe's oh but yeah
like like you're saying like to be able
to get like the new cheese of the new
product or the new you know it's just a
luxury really veggie burger or even a
lunch on them yeah you know totally skin
care skin care products can be an
awesome gift for people it's consumable
so it'll be used up one of my favorites
right now is Provence apothecaries clay
mask so you can get them a mask do a
face mask together maybe bond over
you know thanks masking together steam
facial steam fade my personal favorite
kind of segues from skin care so I'll
take the lead on this one but it would
be essential oils for someone like me
who mixes and matches them for
everything in the house from cleaning
products to diffusing overnight to
making a little roller blend that I can
roll on my feet for bad dreams
I love essential oils and again it's
consumable I use them up and then every
season I kind of need a new set so
definitely essential oils are on my list
one stocking stuffer I would highly
recommend is the peppermint halo from
sage which is a roll-on I roll it on the
back of my neck it helps like relieve
some stress when I'm dealing with a man
for too many hours of the day and also
under consumables we included snack box
but this kind of could branch out to any
subscription model everyone's probably
heard of all these different
subscriptions for socks or for bowties
or whatever they have nowadays but I
thought snack box was a great option
there's a company called vegan cuts they
deliver vegan snacks which is super cool
also because there's a lot of these
snacks that you can't necessarily get in
Canada that you're getting access to and
it gets delivered to your place every
month it's kind of the gift that keeps
on giving that does lead into the basic
section and you've already covered socks
subscription but that is what we did one
year and absolutely loved it so again
basics like socks never go out of style
we are always running out of socks and
while it would be difficult to gift us a
sock subscription because we're not
always home or in one place it's an
awesome option for people that you want
to give to um I wanted to add something
in great we don't have a written down
the list oh but I love that I might go
under basics but I'm not sure okay um
tools I get really excited about tools
because I like building stuff and
there's always a new tool you can buy so
just maybe that might be helpful for
someone watching you know if your dad's
into building stuff or if he needs a new
drill or sand or
or if there's a van like we're about to
take on the biggest project of their
life yeah get them a tool good call the
Milwaukee not sponsored water bottles
this is another basic that I just feel
like you always need to I feel like
they're very great business to get into
because everyone loses their water well
reusable loser bottle well here's the
thing about a reusable water bottle if I
get a good quality one I really care
about it deeply you try your best
yeah you'll still lose it and one of
those things you put down in all these
weird places yeah you know but also you
go try out a gym one place the classpath
screws you over yeah yeah so they're
making their money no but um I feel like
after a certain amount of time you
should switch out the water well no
matter how good quality don't you think
barely like so much gross stuff lives
inside your water bottle oh yeah I scrub
the lid every every well every while not
every week yeah
and also reusable coffee cups I love my
keep cup so Cho keep keep cup keep the
energy up keep a little bit of a higher
ticket item but we put blender on this
list because honestly if your plant bass
or vegetarian or even just love cooking
in general a blender is kind of like a
staple tool and getting a good quality
blender is such an amazing gift we got
for our an engagement present as a gift
from a bunch of people yeah and it's our
absolutely like favorite device we
couldn't live without it it's awesome
towels and bed linens they're also they
sound a little bit boring but for people
like us who there's no well fact that no
but honestly if I open up the great pair
of new bed sheets actually wow that's I
think tying you might not but when you
crawl into bed that night you'll be like
that Margaret she was she was pretty
sneaky super Margaery hundred thread
doesn't need to be crazy but honestly
just again one of those things that you
could upgrade don't eat the old ones or
get rid of them in with the new and get
on white get them white white cheese
when we use the backpack no matter how
cheap the place was if it didn't have
white cheese Eamonn wasn't saying that
so don't buy it
colorful actually right now we have some
Hatem yeah okay the last category to
wrap up this gift guide for you is DIY
so you put your skills or your fun craft
loving selves to the test and DIY some
gifts our first recommendation would
actually be from our cookbook we have
these soups in a jars or Brix book buy
that book soups in a jar this is
actually great I was really yeah and you
layer up all the ingredients and it's
all dry ingredients and you just need to
combine it with water put it on the
stove and it's such a great gift so you
can literally go to bulk barn and buy a
bunch of all these ingredients that are
in the book and you can make 10 super
neat jars you can go ahead and get that
to your mailman or all those people you
know around the office and really really
really I think that that's a great gift
you know for it really really really I
do feel it's a really really really good
gift buddy and then the last one I can't
take the credit for I have to throw it
over to you babe what could they do well
this is just like to get inspired and
you know take things apart and turn into
art so basically what I've done guys I
had an old camera I picked up had like a
flea market for 10 bucks and I have
taken it fully apart so every single
bulb is mixed in here and then I went to
an art store and bought this shadow box
it's got a glass front nice piece it was
like 40 bucks and then this is the
background so what I'm gonna do is place
this in some fashion I'm gonna make it
look like it's all taken apart we're
calling it his deconstruction art face
he's deconstructing lots of things these
days but yeah you're not like reusable
sustainable way to like get rid of old
electronics for example like a camera
and you're not limited just the cameras
you you know let your imagination run
any what about your electronic phone the
t9 that might be awesome yeah you know
know someone that leads to love
blackberry you can write a blackberry
and put it in a nice case go to
Michael's buy a it's called a shot of
shadow box I feel like we gave you
