The Big Boo Cast, Episode 124

All righty – you asked for it, and we aim to please, so here’s part one of our 2018 Holiday Gift Guide. We had the best time rounding up ideas, and on this first installment, we focus on hostess gift options as well as gifts for teenage girls and guys.

This means that I use my teenage girl voice at least four too many times.

Anyway, we hope our suggestions are helpful (and fun!) (and also significantly reduce your shopping stress). As always, you can find links to everything in the show notes. Except for the rosemary tree from Lowe’s and anything from Trader Joe’s. Because Trader Joe’s online shopping options = sad trombone.

Be on the lookout for installment #2 (gifts for men and women) early next week.

Enjoy, y’all!

  1. Hey there, been a while since I’ve commented but still following everything you and Melanie do because I couldn’t be more proud of you two than if I had invented you. Just wondering if you’ve tried Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix? Chef’s Table but with gentle humour provided by Phil Rosenthal creator of Everbody Loves Raymond.

    I had resisted the show because I thought it would be a guy trying weird food or seeing how much he can eat. It’s not that although he does try new things. It’s just really sweet and I thought of you Sophie.

    I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing and want you to know that I think of her every Christmas and her being such a good sport about the great Christmas tree tumble.

    Take care

  2. Just heard you on Compel!!! Thank you so much for giving me the courage to explore freedom in my writing!!! Awesome stuff! 💞
