I Cannot wait to tell you guys my surprise gift for Nessa What is this? What did I like this a lot? No, you don't hey guys, it's me Veronica and we're doing a birthday gift swap. it's that time of the year. This year's theme is three things the other person needs. It's kind of hard because we don't live together anymore so it's hard to know like what the other person needs.

This is going to be exciting. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on our videos and hit the Bell button to get notified when we post. Okay, so for Nessa's gifts, I'm thinking like some of her favorite things or maybe like some things that you could really use. Many things come to mind when I think about like her favorite things and you know she likes Krispy Kreme she likes color pink.

she loves cats so I obviously have to get her something cat related. I Do know one thing that Ronnie needs a garlic press. I'm sure you guys are wondering why and what the heck is a garlic press. It's just like a little thing that squeezes out garlic.

You just put in garlic cloves in it like cuts it for you and it is a life changer. It makes cooking so much easier. My fingers smell like normal. they don't smell like garlic because I'm not like cutting it and stuff I know Ronnie needs a garlic press because she was like I want one of those I'm at the mall today and I'm going to go to Williams Sonoma to see if I can find a garlic press I Cannot wait to tell you guys my surprise gift for Nessa The biggest part of the whole gift swap Nessa Loves cats so much Cat Con which is a cat convention that happens here in La every year invited us a special guest to go and attend Capcom She has no idea that they reached out and that they invited us in.

So I'm going to surprise her with Catcon tickets. That's how we're going to spend our birthday weekend. I have to get some other gifts to kind of like throw her off so she doesn't see it coming. Let's go buy Nessa her gifts.

Who's a car like a press? It's easier when they have one option and just buy it by now like garlic grinder. Are you kidding me? What am I gonna do All right? I got the garlic press. That's like the one thing I know Ronnie needs. So now I'm like what do I do Whoa, that's a cool looking store.

Maybe I should go in there. no I should not I should not. Okay okay I gotta stick to the plan. Stay Focus So I feel like she was like this eyeshadow palette.

it's only 35 and I think she'll be like it. These colors are pretty. oh my look those are very natural I think she would like those. What do you I don't know I also feel like you can't go wrong makeup brushes.

So I found some elf makeup brushes I found this I think she would like this a lot I mean you can't ever be upset no makeup make ultimate makeup brush set like look. she's gonna love this I'm actually at one of my favorite antique stores here I Just really like the idea of like upcycling and repurposing vintage stuff I just feel like there's so many things out there that already exists I have so much personality and anytime someone has bought me something that's like vintage or they got it at a thrift store and they said like Oh I thought of you when I got this for you or when I saw this, it just makes me feel really like loved and appreciated. So let's see if we can find the last two things that Ronnie needs. Okay so I'm at World Market right now I have really cute stuff for home decor and just home things Nessa Just moved into a new place and so oh my gosh she's been really into plants and I was thinking about maybe getting her like a really cute like aesthetic pot.

why not this or that or that one. Oh my gosh, what do you guys think? This is the most amazing? Oh my God I almost broke it. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It's a vase.

If I can't find something that tops that, then that is what I'm going to get I don't know what else is going to top that. that is amazing. Really just wish my house was full of this stuff. I Just think there's so many cute things in here.

Oh my gosh, look at this cabbage bowls that is so cute. like everything is for sale like the tables and stuff like it's just such a cute store. I Love it! John and I love vintage glassware. We think it's probably some of the coolest stuff ever made.

This set is so cool and look at this set. look how beautiful these glasses are. I honestly think that would be the perfect gift to put the tickets in for catcon. maybe that is a good idea I will grab it, let me go to the bathroom Oh I thought you came in here to help me look for something for Nessa but look what I found has NASA written all over I know and it's a it's a vase so she likes plants.

Now they're getting into a plan so I'm gonna get her this little cat vase but you can put anything in it. You can put flowers, whatever. I'm going to include this grow Comfort there's seeds you can grow oregano, chives, mint Rosemary and Thyme from this little starter kit and then I found this little watering can I think this is perfect but I still feel like I need one more thing because this is just kind of like collectively all together I Really need to like Make sure I'm focusing on getting Ronnie something and not shopping for myself. Oh look, there's even more glasses here! Wow, these are cool! Okay wait no I get him Ronnie what does Ronnie need? What does Ronnie need I love all of this.
