Happy Tuesday, friends!
Our podcast is back and ready for C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!
Erika and I are so thankful that our producer John is doing better. You guys, we love this man so much, and he was so sick…so praise Jesus that he’s doing much, much better. Thank you to everyone who reached out about him and let us know you were praying. It worked!!!
Today is our final episode of the year before we take a holiday break, and we’re ending with BREAKING DOWN HOLIDAY GIFTING!!
This episode is just two best friends chatting about all things gifting. What we give our friends, our families, our neighbors, our babysitters, our teachers…everyone! It’s just a very Christmas-y episode that we hope you love.

I am somehow missing the great battery organizer you mentioned. Could you possibly provide the link or let me know where to find it?

Cathy says
Do you have a link for the necklace you were wearing in your Instagram story this morning? Thank you!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It was a gift from a friend. Let me see if she can tell me who makes it. It’s lovely 🙂 .
Carhy says
Thank you!!!
Carhy says
Very pretty!! Hopefully she has the information! Thanks for checking!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from harthagerty.com 🙂
Sandy says
Do you have the link for the fishing backpack you talked about for smith?? My son needs that for his birthday!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I just checked my previous Amazon orders and it wasn’t one of them. I think Andrew bought it at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Checking!
Sandy says
Thanks for checking, I appreciate it 🙂
Pamela Brown says
Hi, Always love your posts! You shared your autumn Starbucks order (venti pike w one pump pumpkin and splash of half and half), which totally got me through the fall with deliciousness but not the calories of a PSL (absolutely awesome!) — any go to orders for winter? Preferably a pseudo-peppermint mocha? Thanks, Shay!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m not as committed in the winter, but I have been toggling between a pump of peppermint and a pump of the chestnut one. I tried sugar cookie and did not enjoy that!
Jenny N says
I would love the Jingle Juice recipe!!
Leslie Smith says
I can’t find the battery organizer or the yard caddy (wheelbarrow) mentioned on thenpidcast as gifts for men anywhere on the blog. Am I missing those gifts somewhere?
Tks.
Mix and Match Mama says
Here is the battery one: https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Organizer-Storage-Removable-Batteries/dp/B08XY93Z55/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=battery%2Borganizer&qid=1638899707&sr=8-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE1U0xEVktOUFhGT1MmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5ODUyODcxTThNSVFOMjNKR1RaJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1MzQ5NjIyNUMyQ0FBVURPWlNFJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
The wheelbarrow was a gift from my parents so I don’t have the exact link but I know Andrew found one at The Home Depot to gift Tab.
Lyndsey says
Hi Shay!
I drop my 4 year old daughter off at preschool on Tuesday’s and then head to the YMCA. I’m currently 41 weeks pregnant waiting on girl #2. I look forward to Tuesday’s so can go for a walk and listen to the Bestie Breakdown! Y’all are just a FUN and entertaining distraction I need right now 😉
XO
Laura says

Susy says
Car wash gift certificates—sure to please the hard-to-buy-for!!!
Shanna Corn says
Do you have any suggestions for gifts for bosses?
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhhh that’s a good question! I am going to let others answer because I bet they have much better ideas than I will!
Shanna Corn says

Kristen Hardison says
Won’t Smith be 12 on his next birthday? ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Did I say 11??? agh!
Joyce says
Hi Shay, loved your Bestie podcast today…can you link what kind of yard wagon Andrew has and loves? Thank you so much!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Home Depot. I don’t have the exact link. It’s an outdoor wagon.
Joyce says
Thank you so much!?
Amanda Peterson says
Great podcast ladies! I got some really great gift ideas from you.
Jessica Fry says
Could you share what the battery organizer you mentioned in the podcast?? I think that is what you were talking about? I’m very curious as my battery area is a black hole and could use some TLC.
