Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!

IF YOU ARE MY PARENTS OR MY IN-LAWS, YOU CAN’T LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!!! IF YOU ARE SALLY’S FAMILY, GET OUT OF HERE!!!! No disrespect!!!! Sally and I go through the gifts we’re giving to our families this year, and why my parents need an ornament of a construction cone (you know, the orange ones). I figure out what I’m going to get them, but not how I am going to give it to...

Sally and I rundown the wild week of Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Nora surprising me for my birthday (SOB), a Kiehl’s perfume I love and more. Then we get into the “Games That F*ck” portion of the show because FYI we’re both game-heads.  We run through the basics and favs, as well as the games that are good for family togetherness, hanging with your siblings, or just needing something to distra...

The Today Show's Jenn Falik and I teamed up this holiday season to give you more of what you've been asking for: GIFT GUIDES! We go through all of our favorite things and pick the best of the best. This week we're talking about the moms, MILs and mom-types in our lives who already have everything. WHAT NOW? Do you follow Jenn?

It’s Black Friday (but we recorded this last week, so ignore all of our tense switcheroos) and Sally is convinced she’s not interested in shopping for anything until she remembers OH YEAH, I WOULD LOVE AIRPODS.   I give you my best tips and game plan for attacking Black Friday weekend head on.   Check out The Shop Hub, a spreadsheet designed by us for you to help make your holiday shoppi...

Sally Tamarkin is nursing an achey breaky back this week so we’re running a Patreon-only episode from last holiday season with Nora! We talk about our first Vegas trip, the Jessica Simpson holiday song that Sirius XM is literally OBSESSED WITH playing 24/7 (true last year and true this year!), and the startling discovery Caroline made when rewatching the Newlyweds Nick and Jessica Christmas episod...

Consider it our gift to you ;)    In part with our Shop Hub, we also launched our FIRST EVER IRL, hold-in-your-hand, Gee Thanks!-branded goods in collaboration with Balance Bound. Y...

On The Shop Hub you’ll find all the brands you love to shop and their corresponding sales, codes and deals.    We also worked with some of these brands to get you exclusive codes for 20% (or more!) off your purchases.   ...

Two products I bought in the last 60 days that have been worth it: an air fryer and a leaf blower. Sally has neither but maybe by the end of the show has both? And why I think an air fryer has much more staying power than the Instant Pot.   Plus Hannah, who took home the vintage dresser I couldn’t stop thinking about, joins us to give an update on how it’s doing in her home. Then she stuns us...

Which Gee Thanks! guest co-host penned the controversial argument, “Against Trick-or-Treating” in the 90s? If you guessed Sally Tamarkin, you’re right! We dive deep into Halloween: the costumes we bought, the candy we counted, and what made a neighborhood trick-or-treatable (PS. our opinions were not always correct). Plus, what we think of Halloween as adults and what Caroline thinks Sally should...

When your therapist abandons you to become an executive life coach for the rich and famous, what white noise machine do you buy while you’re trying to find your next shrink via Zoom?   Also, a collapsible tea kettle for on the road, which Sally is!     Mentioned on the show: White Noise Machine: https://amzn.to/3fVlFdt   Collapsible Tea Kettle: https://amzn.to/3rI1oKV   &n...

A week ago I walked into a thrift store and found truly the vintage dollhouse dresser of unrealized dreams for sale for $125 and I balked and didn’t buy it (but listener and new friend Hannah did). Now I can’t stop thinking about it and I had to call Sally in to help me figure out why I, a professional money spender, panicked and didn’t spend the money on this dresser. We’re calling it non-buyer’s...

Sally and I both shelled out the big bucks for the $700 (*SUCKS IN BREATH*) Litter Robot, and now we’re giving you our full review. If these cats could talk.   Plus, a familial connection to the Hammacher Report!   Mentioned on the show: The Litter Robot: https://fave.co/3UBmXKu   GO SHOPPING WITH US!

I am nervous to share with you that we’re talking about car things again.    I think this makes three episodes where car things have come up, but Sally is going on a Road Trip (capitalization for formality) in October and we thought it was appropriate to bring up some car things. But I know Gee Thanks-heads who are loyal listeners will be like “REALLY, CAR GARBAGES AGAIN, CAROLINE?” but...

If you haven’t guessed yet, Sally Tamarkin is here for the long haul (or until she gets sick of doing this; really who knows!). This episode will let Sally Heads get even more hardcore about their Sally Head-ness and for soon-to-be Sally Heads have their inaugural episode! We play two truths and a lie and I make a claim that nothing bad happens at Disneyland, death-wise. Do not send me any claims...

This is a replay episode! I'll be back on September 9! I LEARNED WHAT A TUBING MASCARA WAS. Alison Rosen is your (my) new best friend! It’s her podcast but it’s also a true statement. As I was listening back on this episode for editing I was like JFC, Caroline, if you love New York so much why don’t you just marry it! I am sorry it always comes up.   But anyway: ALISON! She’s here to talk abo...

THIS EP IS A RE-RUN BECAUSE I AM ON VACATION! SEE YOU SEPTEMBER 9 WITH A NEW EPISODE! Ammie Williams aka AmmieYall is HERE! And we’re LOLing and Living and Loving together! Ammie wants you to ergonomically improve your consumption routine in the bedroom (no, don’t be gross!), and she brought two products that go hand in hand. Plus, a little RHOA tea for fans…   Mentioned on the Podcast: The G...

Back to school season is here and we think it’s kind of unfair that as 30 and 40-somethings who are not, in fact, going back to school, we don’t get to participate. So we spent a bunch of time trying to convince ourselves that purchasing a vintage Trapper Keeper is actually a productive purchase. Points are made. Trapper Keepers are purchased. But not the ones that are on sale for $200+ (WTF???)....

It seemed too good to be true, but these weird products actually work. Sally brought RainX and Caroline brought the Hiccaway and The Bug Bite Thing. Shark Tank, we have ideas! Mr. Wonderful, give us your phone number! Hiccaway: https://amzn.to/3Qqo90u   The Bug Bite Thing: https://amzn.to/3p2J6CE   RainX: https://amzn.to/3dekdBG   GO SHOPPING WITH US!

This episode is alternatively titled, "Where Elon Musk does his Father's Day shopping, probably?" Sally got served one ad for a gravity chair and then we got lost on the world's weirdest website full of $500,000 hover golf carts that you can add to cart but can never, seemingly, check out?  Also, why do I want something called an AeroSki more than I have wanted anything ever? Plus, The Pickle...

Sally and I go deep on DEEP CLEANING thanks to the Gee Thanks! community basically selling out the Bissell Little Green spot cleaner. Bissell-heads know this thing packs a punch and Sally said she would lay down her life for Little Green, no cap. I talk about my drill attachment cleaner brushes, how vinegar and lemon is my new personality, and how much I hate my front-loading washer. We also revea...

Sally Tamarkin is back as my guest co-host and this week, their new personality is TENNIS PLAYER. By the end of the episode we both have newer personalities (Pickleball enthusiasts!). This episode is all about accessorizing for hobbies we’ll probably get bored of by next week. But boy isn’t it fun to pick out a colorful headband? Did you see that picture of space that was going around this week? I...

Ashley Hosmer has no pants. She owns no pants. This is not hyperbole. If we asked her to count how many pants she has, the answer would be zero pants. She also doesn’t own an umbrella. But she does own a Victorian house, and she just Gucci wallpapered her entryway (and it’s not tacky even though it sounds SO tacky! Hi Ashley!). She has a great story about finding $$$$$$ chairs on Facebook Marketpl...
