Podcast Ep. 16: Our Favorite Gift Ideas for Him & Her
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the best gifts to give grown-ups and share a couple of funny stories involving gifts of clothing – and one sweater that wasn’t supposed to be a gift. Then we list the items we’ve either given or received that were helpful, fun, thoughtful, and most importantly enjoyable. Great gifts don’t have to be expensive! Jami discusses some of the easy dinners we’ve been enjoying lately and then we reveal this week’s cool things, including the best healthy Fritos knockoff chips.
