This is my favorite. So this is the eco-friendly skin care kit. Now I know you don't have to worry about this, Daniel. But for us--
MORIANNA: Yes.
NICOLE: --using makeup wipes that we use once and throw away-- one, super expensive. And two, terrible for the environment.
MORIANNA: It's so bad.
NICOLE: So much waste. So these are awesome because you can reuse them and re wash them. Put your favorite cleanser on here, wash your face, get up all the makeup, the dirt. You can use them over 100 times. So awesome. They also come with these cotton pads, which you can do the same for. It's going to save you a ton of money, a ton of time, and save the Earth at the same time.
MORIANNA: I'm pretty stoked about-- I'm sure you've heard of it. It's really the it thing nowadays, y'all.
DANIEL: Oh! Sleek.
MORIANNA: Glass straws.
NICOLE: Fancy.
MORIANNA: No more plastic, people. Come on.
NICOLE: No more.
MORIANNA: This thing is shatter resistant. It's sturdy. And what's cool is that you can either have it with hot drinks or cold drinks. It doesn't matter. It won't--
NICOLE: I was going to ask you about that.
MORIANNA: Yeah, and it seems like it'd be difficult to clean. But they give you a little, little brush with it to clean away.
NICOLE: Smart.
MORIANNA: Easy to clean.
NICOLE: Love that.
DANIEL: While on the topic of hydration, water bottles. Do you know how many water bottles the US alone and people around the world use a year?
NICOLE: Too many.
MORIANNA: I don't even want to.
DANIEL: Have you seen the stats? It's ridiculous. It's piling up in the oceans. Reusable bottles really are the coolest, most efficient way to slug water during the day. They're double insulated so There's no sweat on the bottle. Actually they keep all the cold drinks inside cold for 24 hours, a full day.
NICOLE: What?
DANIEL: You put ice water in here, the ice is still going to be in here 24 hours later.
NICOLE: That's awesome.
DANIEL: And it keeps hot drinks hot for up to 12. Excellent. I love this thing.
MORIANNA: Perfect.
NICOLE: Next one we got is the 3D printed planter. So pretty, guys. The print here is 3D. It's got like a cool zig-zag effect to it. And it's made out of bio-plastic and recycled wood. It's a good gift. I would definitely give this to my mom.
DANIEL: If you're looking for a big change. Or you want to just ramp up your life--
MORIANNA: Oh, wow.
NICOLE: You're going for it.
DANIEL: Go for a Nest. This is the coolest thing since sliced bread, right? It is a smart thermostat. And it's smart because it learns. You control it via an app on your phone just like everything else in the world now. But it picks up slowly on your habits, like when you leave the house, when you go to sleep, when you wake up in the morning.
MORIANNA: That's pretty cool.
DANIEL: And it learns and it sets those things to go with your schedule.
NICOLE: Nice.
MORIANNA: That's so cool.
NICOLE: That is futuristic.
DANIEL: You can save up for 12% to 15% on all of your energy costs. So this thing pays for itself in under two years. It's like Iron Man's chest. Save the planet, but it's on your house. I don't know, very cool. I thought it was sweet.
MORIANNA: That's awesome.
DANIEL: Yeah, Nest, it's super, super cool.
NICOLE: Guys, these gifts are super great for the planet and super great for you. So please try to get them and throw them in the bag.
