Anything you buy will be kept secret. I love surprises as much as you like giving them.
Please do not buy any personal care (ie lotions, soaps, body washes, colognes)
Teas and Hot Drinks, We would love tea and probably use it for our podcast.
- Gift cards to Ohio Tea Co.
- Churchill’s Fine Teas Peppermint Black
- Organic Peppermint tea bags
- Nutcracker Rooibus (can get in Shipsi in Tea store or online)
- Hot chocolate, Prefer not individual packages so I can make as strong as I want. Like dark or milk chocolate.
- Chai tea powder. Prefer spiced. (Like Big train or similar)
- Honey
- The Ambassador
- Teapot with heating control. Most of the teas we drink regularly are at boiling, but when we explore new ones for the podcast there are some differences in temperature.
Non Candy Snacks
- Biltong. We like the Brooklynn biltong. Use this code for $10 off of your first purchase.
- There are also many different Biltong Brands on Amazon. Feel free to pick something out for us.
Camera Needs I have a Canon Rebel T3i with and 18-55mm lens
-
- Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens (or similar) Prefer this one first.
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens (for portraits) (or similar lens) Won’t use as often as the other lens.
