From the New York Times, you're listening to The Wirecutter Show.

Hey, everyone. It's The Wirecutter Show. I'm Christine Cyr Clissette. I'm Kyra Blackwell.

And I'm Rosie Garan, and we work at Wirecutter, the product recommendation site from the New York Times.

Each week, we bring you expert advice from our newsroom of 140 journalists who review everyday products that will make your life better.

This episode of The Wirecutter Show is called How to Win the War Against Mice.

Before we dive in today, I just want to tell listeners, we're planning a special episode for the holidays.

So we're going to try and have our listeners stump wirecutters in-house gifting experts.

We want to hear your hardest to shop for gift recipients.

So send us a voice memo. Tell us who in your life is hard to shop for.

What makes them that way? What kinds of things they like? What kinds of things they don't like? What are their quirks? What are their sort of caveats?

We'll play these on the show for our gifting team and then we'll see if we can stump them.

Plus, you know, you'll walk away with some great gifting ideas. Okay, so record these on your phone

just as a voice memo and send the message to the Wirecutter show at Wirecutter.com. And thanks.
