== Cocktail Shaker ==


'''Anna Reinhardt:''' I'm sure we could find somebody who can help you. So, well, I went totally random on my selection. And I have been eyeballing a mason jar cocktail shaker.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Nice.

'''Anna Reinhardt:''' Because the sound of ice clinking in a cocktail shaker is the happiest sound in the world to me. So, but my problem is like the metal cocktail shakers, I can never get those stupid things open. So my alcohol is trapped inside. I can't get it out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is the worst possible thing to happen.

'''Anna Reinhardt:''' The worst part one is actually a twist top. So I think I can open that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Man, I love that. I'm going to have to check that out. That might go on my list. That's pretty cool. So for mine, for my random, I actually had a couple things down. And Ana, you covered one of them. The Goulet Pens Ink Drop, I think, is a great choice for a gift. Just for all the things you said, you get to try all these inks. You can purchase it for X amount of months as a gift. And along those same lines, my other choice is also a subscription type service that you can give as a gift. And that's Art Snacks. They do a cool little box. Once a month, you get four or five different art supplies. This is a great one for kids or for teenagers that are into art in school or even for your significant others that like to draw and experiment with new products. This kind of forces your hand by sending you different things that you maybe didn't know that you wanted or liked. And you can try different things. I mean, it comes with all different types of pens or paints or brushes or erasers. Just really all kinds of cool little things that you get in a box once a month. And Art Snacks, they sponsored the show before and they've always been on my radar as a great gift option for someone out there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Listen to this.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, yeah. That was my last one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I still get it every month. Nice. You've been liking it still? I don't use a lot of the stuff that comes in it. There's been a few things where I've used, but I really like receiving it. It's not that expensive and I end up with a bunch of really cool things. There are stuff in there. There's a bunch of markers that I have. So I have a bunch of cool permanent markers now. And they've got loads of jewel pens, brush tips and one side and a fine felt tip on the other. Just really cool stuff. And they include an American suite in each one, which I enjoy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What was the latest?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, I think it was some... Oh, I think it was Laffy Taffy. Okay. Which I've never had before.

'''Anna Reinhardt:''' How much is the subscription?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's 20 a month, I believe. Yeah, something like that. That's not bad. You just end up with a really random list. Like, you just have really a sort of random box of stuff. It's $20 a month. And you get four to five items in each pack.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's cool. It's just a cool little thing to get. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Very cool.
