Transcript
00:08Hi, I'm Connie from Refinery29 and welcome to Tinseltown, an extra special winter wonderland of holiday shopping.
00:15Today we're here with Refinery29 couple, power couple, Tara, beauty contributor for Refinery, and Neil, photographer and founder of Rizzola.
00:26And we're here to talk about couples gifts. Anyone who's in a relationship knows that exchanging gifts with your significant
00:32other can be one of the most stressful and rewarding gift exchanges that you do all season.
00:37And we're here to show the gifts that we have that are for him and for her and to get
00:43a little feedback on them.
00:45So let's launch right into it. Neil, this is the UNIT Portable Men's Shoulder Bag.
00:51And this is our modern version of the Breathe Cake. You can put your laptop in it, your files, what
00:57else do you want?
00:58Camera, memory cards, book, flask, preferably an Izola flask.
01:04Exactly, that we are also selling on Tinseltown. And this bag is $100 and it comes in navy and black.
01:12And the girls' version is this bag, the Rebecca Minkoff math bag, which is kind of a thing for you.
01:21It's kind of a thing. I'm like really in love with this and I really want it. So, hint.
01:25For any boyfriend out there or girlfriend who wants to give their significant other a bag, this is like a
01:32foolproof.
01:33This is foolproof. Get a Rebecca Minkoff bag in any shape, any color, and any girl would like it.
01:39This one in particular has a touch of neon, which I like.
01:43Which is really, really good. Brighten up your winter garb.
01:46I mean, just because it's so subtle, it won't clash with anything.
01:49But it still, you know, sets it apart from any of your other bags.
01:53It's $350. Really, really, really awesome. Thank you.
01:58Let's move on to this watch. This is the Roomba Time PeriGo watch.
02:03And, I mean, just structurally, it's a great watch. It's got an adjustable strap with a little bit of a
02:09hint of neon, so you can borrow it.
02:11And a giant face, which is great for guys, but also really, really cool for girls, too.
02:16And you actually have one, don't you?
02:18Yeah, I actually bought one a couple weeks ago.
02:21You can pay for cabs with this watch. Just hold it up.
02:26And you can just, like, connect your credit card or something?
02:29Yeah, it's connected to the PayPal credit card.
02:31Oh.
02:31And you can just hold it up to certain partners, you know, screen.
02:34Awesome. So this is $50.
02:37And the girls' equivalent, we have this, the Millie & Earl bangle.
02:43This is $36, and it's really, it's like, it's a great everyday bangle.
02:46It's cute.
02:47Do you want to put it on?
02:47Mm-hmm.
02:49And it features three little hearts on it.
02:52You know, one heart for you, one heart for you, one heart for me.
02:56Oh.
02:57One for Connie. Always.
02:58Of course.
02:59And it's just a really great everyday bangle.
03:02$36.
03:03And now we have this necklace.
03:05This is the Vanessa Mooney Graceless Necklace.
03:08And this is $84.
03:10And it features this, like, really, really great array of turquoise.
03:15I mean, it's a really substantial heavy necklace.
03:17Wear it under a little collared shirt so it peeks out, you know.
03:19It's cute.
03:20It's very, like, southwestern influence, which is really big, I think, for winter.
03:23Exactly.
03:24And turquoise is one of those stones that, like, really never goes out of style.
03:27So you can wear this, like, until you have grandkids.
03:31Connie really wants this one, so.
03:32These are actually men's necklaces from Beer and Meat.
03:35These are $140.
03:37Um, not very many guys wear necklaces, but when guys are confident enough to pull them off,
03:43it's really, really hot.
03:44Neil.
03:45I guess this could remind me to go to the dentist.
03:50This necklace that you're holding right here, it's a tooth.
03:52It's a really large tooth.
03:54And this one is a really cute astronaut.
03:56It's a great gold necklace.
03:57They're $140.
03:58So this is a Refinery29 curated glossy box, right?
04:02It's $45.
04:03Should be included.
04:05And why don't you walk us through all of the treasures inside?
04:08So there are a few different really cool items.
04:10This is, um, a caviar hair mask for, like, you know, dry winter hair.
04:14Really awesome.
04:15Smells really good.
04:16And who's it by?
04:17Um, it is by Kelly Van Gogh.
04:19Um, and then this is, um, by Kojen Do, which, um, is one of our faves at Refinery.
04:25It's just a cleansing spa water, so just really gentle.
04:28Um, it'll take off your makeup without irritating your skin.
04:31Um, and then Josie Marin, of course, is a major Refinery29 favorite.
04:36She's just the coolest.
04:37And this is an all-natural, um, argan color stick in love.
04:40So it's just a really nice, like, flush of color.
04:42Um, and this is a really cool nail color.
04:44Isn't this awesome?
04:45It's like a maroon-y gold metallic.
04:48But it changes in the light, so it's kind of like an oil spill.
04:51Yeah.
04:52It's really, it's really awesome.
04:53It's called Afterglow.
04:54It's very nice.
04:55And then this is a little bit, I guess you could say this is a gift for, for both, um,
05:00both
05:01members of the, of the couple.
05:03Um, this is by Booty Parlor, and it is flirty little secret perfume oil with pheromones.
05:09So, you could just put this on, and it's, it's a little treat for your guy as well.
05:14Yeah?
05:15It's fun.
05:15I know.
05:16Why not?
05:17Mix it up for the holidays.
05:19Pretty cool.
05:19Booty Parlor.
05:20Booty Parlor indeed.
05:22So this is a gift for both the guy and the girl.
05:25How interesting.
05:26Forty-five dollars.
05:26And these are, like, basically full-size products, right?
05:29Yeah.
05:29Oh, totally.
05:31If you saw, remember you can shop for it right now.
05:33Keep watching, keep shopping, and check you later.
05:39We asked you on Facebook to reveal what the most adorable or horrible gift you've ever
05:43gotten from your significant other was, and, I mean, the answers you gave were just ridiculous.
05:48I wanted to read three of them off that really caught my eye.
05:51Sarah said she got a very, very thoughtful gift from her boyfriend of three years that
05:55said, I love you, whether we are together or just friends.
06:00Merry Christmas, Sarah.
06:02And Bridget said she got a used Gap gift card, which really, really, really sucks.
06:07But to counteract both of those, Alexandra got two baby miniature Nigerian dwarf goats, complete
06:14with strap-on unicorn horns and a surprise unicorn tea party with all of her friends.
06:18Yes, it was a joke, and it was amazing.
06:20Now Alexandra and her beau are married, and they still have those goats, and they are just
06:26as adorable.
06:27So make sure to like us on Facebook for more updates on Tinseltown, where you can answer
06:30more of these questions yourself.
06:32Goodbye!
