My name is Will DeFries and this is a Sunday Scaries Podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues.

With Christmas upon us, we have so many gift things that we need to confront today

and I thought I'd run it back from last year and I brought in last year's gift guide expert

one of my favorite guests that I have on every single year.

Barrett Dudley, Barrett, welcome back to the Pro Grill. It's good to be here.

You know, I'm just honestly last year I felt like was such a success that I'm feeling pressure

because I don't think there's any way that what I have for you this week today is I just don't

think it can live up to last year. So just off top, I would just suggest if you don't hear

anything that you like this week, just go back and listen to last year's.

Because a lot of what we suggested last December, last November, still stuff that's available out there

or that came back and is, you know, so really you can go either or here.

You can just do a double serving of this episode.

I have to admit, I think you actively had a hand last year in raising the price of one item that you put out there.

It was a company called Bodie. She recently won a CFDA for her work at the company.

And they were doing notebooks that Barrett suggested. And when we did the gift guide,

the notebooks were I think like $60 or something like that.

Yeah, they were very approachable.

And by the end of the Christmas season last year, they were not that they were not $60.

They were in the triple digits.

Yeah, they, you know, and inflation is real and that's happening.

But I do, you know, that was definitely a popular item on last year's thing.

You know what, you know, it didn't seem to sell as quickly as those.
