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 and this is our modern
00:53version of the briefcase.
00:54You can put your laptop in it, your files, camera, 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.
01:13And the Quirrell's 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, this is foolproof.
01:34Get a Rebecca Minkoff bag in any shape, any color, any girl would like it.
01:40This one in particular has a touch of neon, which I like. Which is really, really good. Brighten up your
01:44winter garb.
01:45I mean, just because it's so subtle, it won't clash with anything, but it still, you know, sets it apart
01:52from any of your other bags.
01:53It's $350. Really, really, really awesome. Thank you. Let's move on to this watch.
02:00This is the Roomba Time Perry Go watch. And I mean, just structurally, it's a great watch.
02:06It's got an adjustable strap with a little bit of a hint 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 of weeks ago. You can pay for cabs with this watch.
02:23You just hold it up. And you can just, like, connect your credit card or something?
02:29Yeah, it's connected to the PayPal credit card, and you can just hold it up to certain partners, you know,
02:34screen.
02:34Awesome. So this is $50. And the girls' equivalent, we have this, the Millie and Earl bangle.
02:43This is $36, and it's really, it's like, it's a great everyday bangle.
02:46It's cute. Do you want to put it on?
02:47Mm-hmm.
02:48Um, and it features three little hearts on it. You know, one heart for you, one heart for you, one
02:55heart 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. This is the Vanessa Mooney Graceless Necklace, and 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.
03:17I just wear it under a little collared shirt so it peeks out, you know.
03:19It's cute. It's very, like, southwestern influence, which is really big, I think, for winter.
03:23Exactly. And 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.
03:33These are actually men's necklaces from Beer and Meat. These are $140.
03:37Um, not very many guys wear necklaces, but when guys are confident enough to pull them off, it's really, really
03:43hot.
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. It's a really large tooth.
03:54And this one is a really cute astronaut. It's a great gold necklace. They're $140.
03:58So this is a Refinery29 curated glossy box, right? It's $45, shipping included, and why don't you walk us through
04:06all of the treasures inside.
04:08So there are a few different really cool items. This is a caviar hair mask for, like, you know, dry
04:14winter hair.
04:14Really awesome. Smells really good.
04:16And who is it by?
04:17It is by Kelly Van Gogh. And then this is by Ko Jen Do, which is one of our faves
04:24at Refinery.
04:25It's just a cleansing spa water, so just really gentle. It'll take off your makeup without irritating your skin.
04:32And then Josie Marin, of course, is a major Refinery29 favorite. She's just the coolest.
04:37And this is an all-natural argan color stick in love, so it's just a really nice, like, flush of
04:42color.
04:42And this is a really cool nail color. Isn't this awesome?
04:45It's like a maroony gold metallic.
04:48But it changes in the light, so it's kind of like an oil spill.
04:51Yeah. It's really awesome. It's called Afterglow. It's very nice.
04:55And this is a little bit, I guess you could say this is a gift for both members of the
05:01couple.
05:03This 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 a little treat for your guy as well. Yeah?
05:15It's fun.
05:15I know. Why not? Mix it up for the holidays. Pretty cool.
05:19Booty Parlor.
05:20Booty Parlor, indeed. So this is a gift for both the guy and the girl.
05:25How interesting. $45. And these are, like, basically full-size products, right?
05:29Yeah. Oh, totally. They're awesome.
05:30If you liked anything you saw, remember you can shop for it right now.
05:33Keep watching, keep shopping, and check you later.
05:38We asked you on Facebook to reveal what the most adorable or horrible gift you've ever gotten from your significant
05:44other was.
05:45And, I mean, the answers you gave were just ridiculous.
05:48I wanted to read three of them off and really caught my eye.
05:51Sarah said she got a very, very thoughtful gift from her boyfriend of three years that said,
05:56I 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 with strap-on unicorn horns
06:15and 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 in there just as adorable.
06:27So make sure to like us on Facebook for more updates on Tinseltown, where you can answer more of these
06:31questions yourself.
06:32Goodbye!
