Podcast Goals

Holidays are coming people and we all know there’s two types of people in the world - the ones who do their Christmas shopping in July, then smugly sip mulled wine while fellow humans panic buy on Christmas Eve, and then there’s, well, the panickers. That’s right, this episode is all about #GiftGoals. Amy and Sophie discuss the best and worst gifts they have ever received (or given), they chat about doing secret Santa with work colleagues and why it’s the least fun ever and they also share some of the lovely ways we can all spread a little cheer through charity gifting to some very cool causes. As ever, they also laugh hysterically. Listen, laugh and join the fun by sharing your #GiftGoals with @podcastgoals on social media.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode Amy and Sophie discuss millennial shopping habits and debate shopping online versus shopping in the real world.

Or when you realise there's a special till for returning items after standing in the wrong queue for 15 mins.

Give this episode a listen, but be warned, before you know it you’ll be drinking sherry and preaching ‘You’re as young as you feel!’ Share your #AdultGoals on social media and tag @podcastgoals.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
