They discover and discuss a surprising variety of officially licensed (and some unofficial) SATC-inspired merchandise—most of which Kristin hilariously didn’t know existed—spanning apparel, home goods, books, custom creations, and meaningful gifts that give back. Warm, spontaneous, and full of nostalgia, the episode combines holiday spirit with fan service and a touch of activism.

  • Deep reflection on refugees’ work ethic and the impact of supporting them:
    • “They’ll work all night. They’ll do the jobs no one else wants to do. So, you know, to be able to support them while they’re still in the camps doing arts and crafts that reminds them of their culture, it’s so amazing.” (Kristin, 22:44)

It is our Christmas edition because Christmas is coming really quickly.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

And we're thinking about last minute gifts and we have some ideas and Eastern, our wonderful producer is here with me and we're going to talk about some last minute ideas in this Sex and the city realm. But I don't know what we've got. It's going to be a surprise.

[C]

Oh, this is going to be fun. If there's a sex in the city super fan in your life, even a casual fan, you know, someone who's never seen the show before, I think this is a big gift. We got some great stuff for people.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And can't wait you can get it all before Christmas.

[A]

Amazing.

[C]

Let's or whatever holiday you celebrate. We got. We're going to start here with. We were just chatting before this started. Aviator Nation.

[A]

Love Love Aviator Nation. My kids love Aviator Nation. They're, to me, a tiny surf brand, started here in Malibu and now, apparently.

[C]

A collaboration with the New York Yankees. What? We love New York. We love the city of New York. It's so sex in the city, isn't it?

[A]

So soft?

[C]

Nice and soft, yeah.

[A]

Oh, Aviator Nation is dreamy. I love this. My kids would just really die for this. Though, of course, they love the Dodgers, too. I want to get in trouble, right?

[C]

We do love our Dodgers.

[A]

Yes. Ooh.

[C]

And this is available at aviator Nation for 49.80. Under $50.

[A]

I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but they have a lot of sales, you guys.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

This is what I do because my kids are growing so quickly. I wait for the sales, and then they get this stuff on sale, and then it doesn't make me feel like it doesn't last long enough. This is dreamy. Soft to sleep in. Love it.

[C]

Oh, it's. It's the best. But if you're more of a Target person, there are targets everywhere, all over this great land. We've got a. A black sweatshirt. It's a crewneck sweatshirt, and it reads, I'd like a cheeseburger, large fries, and a Cosmopolitan.

[A]

Wait, I'm sorry. Target is selling?

[C]

This is target. Wait, for 26.99.

[A]

And the city. What is going on?

[C]

This appears to be a licensed Sex and the City crewneck sweatshirt.

[A]

I have not received any money for this.

[C]

I'm curious how.

[A]

What is going on?

[C]

As we continue on? How much you're going to recognize. Approving.

[A]

I. I did nothing. No, no, we don't really have merch. It's real cute, though.

[C]

It's very cute. The hits keep coming from Target. We've also got this fun, hot pink tank top.

[A]

Wait, what?

[C]

For our audio listeners, it's you guys.

[D]

It says, I'm a Charlotte.

[C]

I'm a Charlotte. Sex in the City. It's in the font. The Sex and the City font.

[A]

Target is selling this.

[C]

Target is selling that.

[A]

What? And it does say HBO on it. Yeah, I. I didn't know this existed.

[C]

You know, when the show was airing, I wanted this stuff so badly, and I couldn't find it anymore.

[A]

Yeah, we didn't make it because I think that we didn't approve it, because I think we thought that it would just be weird. But also, we just didn't understand that it was going to be such a wonderful thing for all these years with all these wonderful fans. So I just think we undersold ourselves in a way. But apparently somebody at HBO has decided that we will be making merch. Was unaware.

[C]

This one I love. It's $20.98. And for the Charlotte in your life, maybe you know someone named Charlotte. That's a great gift idea.

[A]

I love all the people named Charlotte. Yes, I do. And it's really soft. And I love the pink.

[C]

This one I love. I was looking at this before we started. This is a. This is by paper 8. And on the front it has what paper? I assume this is paper. It's logo. It says produced and released by Paper8. It's a print font in yellow handwriting. And it reads, I'm sorry, I can't. Don't hate me.

[A]

It's pretty cute.

[C]

Burger's famous Host it breakup.

[A]

It's pretty.

[C]

I love this.

[A]

It's pretty good. I like it a lot. I don't know who these people are, but I like it a lot. And it almost has like a bar of soap on the front or something.

[C]

Yeah, I can't. Is that.

[A]

I don't really understand tissue.

[C]

A bar soap. I don't know.

[A]

It says paper. It says paper. Maybe it's a paperweight. I don't know. But I like the quality. It's really. It's very. It's soft, but it's chunky. It's a good chunky sweatshirt with a puff print. Whatever you just said. Yeah, puff font. What did you say?

[C]

Puff print, I think is what they.

[A]

Call this type of thing.

[C]

It's like raised a little bit.

[A]

Neato.

[C]

Yeah. Fun texture. And when you're waiting in line at the supermarket, someone will know you're a Sex and city fan. That's $78 a paper 8.

[A]

You're so funny, Easton. Oh, my God. Okay, keep going.

[C]

All right. You know, it's. The Christmas is coming. It's not too late to get a Christmas ornament. This is really fun. This is by Furbish.

[A]

This is adorable.

[C]

It's like an embroidered circle that has a Cosmopolitan. It says, definitely a carry.

[A]

This is definitely a carry. I love it so much. I feel like somebody did this, like, with, you know, what's it called? Like, what's it called when you needlepoint? Needlepoint. It looks like, yes, Needlepoint. I'm impressed.

[C]

It's very cute.

[A]

I love it very. It's. It's by somebody named Furbish.

[C]

Furbish.

[A]

The perfect gift does exist. They say, oh, that's cute.

[C]

And we'll have all this stuff on our Instagram. If you're wondering what it looks like, if you're listening to us on the on the podcast app here. This is a. This next one. This is by five star napkins. I know, everyone. Top of everyone's Christmas list napkins. I know. Stay with me. These are sex and sea napkins, and each one has a different carry ism from the beginning of the episode. Wow. This. This one at the top. I couldn't help but wonder, can you get to a future if your past is. I love this.

[A]

So good.

[C]

So fun. I love it.

[A]

This is really nicely done. Also, I. I like these very much. This is for when you have people over and you want to have, like, a nice cocktail napkin.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I'm gonna open it and see what the next quote is, because this is real good, you guys. I'm just gonna pull one randomly. This could also be an interesting, like, random. You know what I mean? Like, let's see what tarot card reading. Yes. Like, oh, it's long. You guys, get ready. I wondered, were we all just victims of conditioned responses? Doomed to repeat the same unconscious relationship patterns? Were we still, in fact, just dating the same person over and over again? It's really good, and they're really nice quality. Ooh, I like it a lot. So wait, we'll read one more and then we'll move on. So when it comes to finance and dating, I couldn't help but wonder, what. Why do we keep investing? Oh, clever. Clever. I love it. Okay, go ahead. It's really good.

[C]

Usually when you see those kind of things, there's like, they'll have three of them. They just cycle through this. Everyone seems to be different.

[A]

That's awesome. It's really, really thought out.

[C]

Next up on our little Sex and the City gift roundup here, we've got a pair of little purses or pouches you can keep stuff in. These are. I don't know. You would call this sequined. These.

[A]

It's beaded. It's beaded. And it says Charlotte York. You guys, Charlotte, you're really cute.

[C]

And then I've got another one here says, I'm definitely a Carrie.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[C]

These are from adorable. B O Y A R. They're very. These are very cute. I love them. They got a little charm on them.

[A]

Yeah, it's really cute. You could put, like, your lip gloss in here. You could also just put some money, a credit card in here. This could be a cute bag charm. Connect it to your bag. I don't think I could walk around with the Charlotte York connected to my bag. I could put it Inside my bag, though, and have it be my special little thing. It's really cute. And that's really nice, too. I like the idea. I'm definitely a Carrie. Love it.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

I cannot believe how many people are making merch. Okay, I'm. I'm a little shocked. I was unaware.

[C]

This is a cottage industry now.

[A]

Didn't know. Didn't know at all. Didn't know.

[C]

Now we're heading over to Kohl's for our next piece of what appears to be licensed HBO merchandise. No way. This is a pink crewneck sweatshirt in the Sex and the City font. It reads our characters names. Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte, and Carrie.

[A]

And then it says Sex and the City. I did not know you guys. How come no one told us it's cute, though? Because now you're just claiming everybody.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's a nice, soft pink. It's adorable. Wow, man. Hbo. They've just decided to go out there with it all. Are they making, like, Game of Thrones merch do? Like, what are they doing?

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[C]

From a marine layer.

[A]

Really cute.

[C]

And it's. It's a red crew neck, and embroidered along the neck, it reads, are you a Charlotte?

[A]

Oh, my gosh. And at the bottom, it has really cute New York. It has a, like a pet pennant. And then it has a TV with multi colors. Then it says, I love New York. Oh, it's really, really cute.

[C]

So cute.

[A]

I love this. And it's so soft. Can I keep it?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, that's a.

[C]

That's a gift to you.

[A]

These are gifts to me, guys. I'm very excited and happy. I didn't know it's weird to have HBO merch. But okay.

[C]

So we have a lot of sweat sweatshirts and such because it's, you know, it's a cold time of year.

[A]

I love this, though.

[C]

Moving on to some books, we recognize this. This is the Sex and the City 2 book based on the movie.

[A]

And this is the stories, the fashion, the adv.

[C]

Yes. Now this is on Amazon. This is 92.

[A]

Wow. Because it's not in print anymore.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

Yeah. And Sarah Jessica was involved in this.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Oh. Oh, yeah. I mean, Molly, I believe, also helped. Like, they real. Oh. What? See, I didn't. I didn't approve of these.

[C]

I opened right up to the Charlotte page. A nice roundup of Charlotte.

[A]

I don't even recognize this picture on the left. It's really interesting. I'm wearing a Prada skirt and a vintage top. This was the day, I believe, that we did the pretend Vogue photo shoot for Carrie's wedding. Oh, yeah. And Andre Leon Talon came and Plum Sykes came. Like really legendary Vogue people came. And I think Anna Wintoura approved things for it.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

I know. But I've never seen that picture of myself, which is kind of amazing. And then we have young Lily, who's adorable. And then we have when I had the baby Rose, who hasn't become rock yet. And then we have me jogging, which I think I'm pregnant. I've got the earmuffs on that I re wore. And then just like that. And then I love. This is when I had three dogs, which almost no one remembers. But there's Penny, who played Elizabeth Taylor. There's Evan, of course. And then this is when she had those mutt puppies. Remember when I got mad at her because she was pregnant? These are two of the puppies I see. One's like a Jack Russell and one's just like a non determined white mutt. And I only had them in the first movie, I think. I don't think I had them after that because the second movie, we're not really at home. Maybe we saw them briefly in the second movie.

[C]

Yeah, I know this. This opens up with a bit of a flashback to get you up to speed before we dive into. Oh, look, the second movie.

[A]

Morocco. Love it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That's Essaouaria. Yeah. We didn't get to go. Sarah went there and walked alone in the water.

[C]

But there's some. There's some interviews with you.

[A]

What?

[C]

Oh, actually, you know, I know we have other gifts to move on to.

[A]

I think it would be fun, this Oscar to learn to dress way. It's an interview with me. Okay. I have no memory of this, you guys.

[C]

Let's see. I'm just gonna read just a quick little thing here.

[D]

Oh.

[C]

About your first karaoke experience.

[A]

Oh, what do I say?

[C]

I had never done karaoke in my life. I'm a shy singer and Michael decided we were all going to do that number in front of 200 extras.

[A]

Yeah, we thought we were gonna die.

[C]

We lived through it and it was really fun, but we were so nervous.

[A]

So nervous.

[C]

Singing karaoke was one of those crazy moments where you just like Sex and City has a life of its own and we're just here for the ride, trying to hold on. It's like a bucking bronco. Wow. Really honest.

[A]

That's so good. It is like a bucking bronco sometimes. It's true.

[C]

Well, I'm going to bookmark that page so you can relive some other moments.

[A]

Oh, my God, I love it so much. Thank you so much. Because I don't even own this book. Thank you.

[C]

Of course.

[A]

This is exciting.

[B]

The clock's running out on December deal drops at Lowe's. But there's still time to wrap up something they'll love. Shop great gifts under $50 like the Dewalt Elite Series 100 piece bit set. Plus if you order by 2pm, you get same day delivery by 8pm Shop December deal drops while you can. Lowe's we help you save before all.

[D]

The algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Twat stars. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay, it's not just shopping. It's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing, that adrenaline hit is real. I have sold clothes on ebay and know the feeling of finding the perfect item on ebay. My daughter Sophia is the one who inspired me to use ebay. She loves it as well. We are big fans. It's about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me. And I want you to find the pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee eBay things people love.

And then this is the first book, right?

[C]

Oh, Sex and City. Kiss and Tell.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

A sacred text for any fan of Sex and City.

[A]

But the thing that's weird is that I remembered having a pink faux croc cover. This must be like a reissue.

[C]

Yes, this the 20th anniversary.

[A]

Oh, the 20th anniversary.

[C]

Revised and updated to include all six seasons. Because the original one was published.

[A]

It would. It was published for the end, so it wouldn't have had the. The final six or whatever. However they broke it up. You know what I mean? That's interesting. I love this picture of Sarah Jessica.

[C]

It's a gorgeous picture. It's got a really nice spine. It's got that Nice Pink Shop 17 on Amazon.

[A]

Open it and look in the back and see if it has the men.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Oh no, it has like cast photos.

[C]

Oh, this is fun. There's a lot of behind the scenes photos at the end here. This is really, really cute.

[A]

Oh my God.

[C]

Funky spunk is in there. Bad tasting. Boy juice.

[A]

Boy juice. That's what we wrote. That's hysterical.

[C]

Oh, there's like trivia.

[A]

Oh, I'm in front of an act. That's Jackson Pollock in the Met.

[C]

Oh my. A beautiful picture.

[A]

That was a great day.

[C]

Just in front of a Jackson Pollock.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Wow, this is a really Fun book. I gotta buy this for myself.

[A]

I know, but it doesn't have the men in the back. Does.

[C]

Does not have the. Oh, here we go. There's, there's Smith, Jerry. Let's see. Oh, we have the men.

[A]

But wait, let me see the back. Back.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Because at one point they had like a grid where they put all the men. But then someone told me on our Instagram page that when. That they redid it at some point.

[C]

Took out the men.

[A]

No, they had the men. But when you actually counted up, Samantha did have more. I believe it said.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

Okay. Because at one point I had the most, which really didn't make sense. But I think. Obviously we don't know about Samantha before the show. Right. But at some point they revised it and I didn't have the most, but I remember Sarah Jessica pointing out that I had the most at one point.

[C]

There's a, there's a section for the men and they kind of list them off here. Okay, let's see. And then they include the non romantic men. Like Stanford's in.

[A]

I know. His little face is in there. It's really cute.

[C]

Oh. Oh, yeah. So cute.

[A]

So cute. This is fascinating.

[C]

This is a great.

[A]

I'd have to put this on my bookshelf, you guys. I'm excited to have it. Yeah, I'm excited to have it for sure. Oh, look, there's Franny. Oh, there's us laying on the bed. Kyle, Franny, and myself laying on the bed. That was, that was good. There's a whole page with Kyle looking super handsome.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Love it, love it, love it.

[C]

Photocopy that and put it on my wall.

[A]

No way. You're funny. It's adorable.

[C]

Yeah, this is, this is a, this is a great gift for any Sex in the City fan.

[E]

Thank you.

[A]

I'm keeping it, though. Not giving it to any other fan but myself, but myself. So I brought a little something. It's not Sex in the City related, but I just wanted to show you and I thought you would appreciate the Easton. I have worked with the UN with refugees over the years, and I love my, my trips and my travels. And one time I was in a refugee camp and I met these women who were making baskets within the camp with their kids there. It was like, so fun and everyone was having a great time and they were making baskets that you could buy that would support them in the refugee camp. And it was such a great idea that we ended up making a, a way for you to buy goods from the refugees called Maid51. And we'll link to it with our Instagram. And they make the most adorable Christmas tree ornaments and. Or whatever ornament you might want to have. So this is called the. Hold on, hold on. This. Every gift tells a story. You get a card about it. This is a cute donkey ornament.

[C]

Noble donkey.

[A]

Noble donkey. Thank you, babe. And this is East African refugees who have come from Egypt. So they're talking about things. They're making things that relate to their culture and their lives, probably before they ended up having to flee and become refugees, which really, no one wants to become a refugee.

[C]

But it's a special piece of art.

[A]

I know. And they're so. They have a whole story behind them. This is Desert Moon.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

And ishcrafted by the Tuareg refugees living in Niger, this moon highlights their impressive.

[C]

Metalwork techniques that they use to create both utilitarian and decorative objects. For these nomadic pastoralists who traditionally inhabit a vast area in the Sahara desert, the moon is a symbol of protection and prosperity.

[A]

Amazing, right?

[C]

Wow.

[A]

And then look at this cute Afghan dog. Is that adorable? And this is by Afghan refugees, Afghani refugees, which is so amazing, of course, because obviously they've been through a lot.

[C]

Yes, yes.

[A]

People from Afghanistan. So I just love these because I love the stories. And I also think they're just so beautifully made. They're made by hand. They're amazing. And you can support refugees where they are by supporting made51. They also have a bunch of non holiday stuff, like cute makeup bags and I got a travel luggage tag. I mean, really cute things.

[C]

What a special thing. And such a cool way to support people who have just been through so much and that you can go through something like that and still create this beautiful art. I'm just so. I'm so blown away by that.

[A]

That's right. And I think the thing about refugees that people don't realize is that they really want to work. And so any refugees who might get to come to our country, which obviously it takes forever to get to come to our country, they go through a lot to come here. They're the hardest working people that I've ever met. I've met people who come here and are so thrilled to get a janitor job. Like, to them, that is like their life's mission, to be able to be resettled and have a life for their family and work. And they'll work all night. They'll do the jobs no one else wants to do. So, you know, to be able to support them while they're still in the camps doing arts and crafts that reminds them of their culture. It's so amazing. And they get to be able to, you know, if you're in a camp and you're able to make extra money, you can buy extra food for your kids, you may be able to send your kids to school, you might be able to buy books for your children. You know, it's. It's really so important to be able to support them before they might be able to be resettled. Because obviously it's really hard in this day and age to even get to be resettled.

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

That's made 51. Everybody please go check it out.

[A]

Yeah. And we'll put all this stuff on our Instagram. Yeah, that'll be fun.

[C]

I got one last gift to show you, Kristen. Now there's a lot of stuff we've talked about is like stuff for the fan fans of the show. This, this sweatshirt is ripped from the show. You can dress like Carrie.

[A]

Amazing.

[C]

We all remember she wears a sweatshirt that has the Monopoly board, but it reads New York instead of Monopoly.

[A]

Amazing. I don't even remember this. When was this? Like, like the first show?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Okay. Got it. This looks really cute.

[C]

Yeah, it's so cute. There's someone on Etsy is making them nice. Making like a duplicate of it.

[A]

Aw.
