Christmas is too sparkly

- said no one ever

For @zaynsalamb

For my very bestest friend, I had the mug made! Maybe someday we can come up with a better design but it was pretty last minute this time around. I wanted you to have it for Christmas though because truer words have never been spoken. I also got you this fancy, personalized planner. It has space to plan out everything you need from flowers, to seating arrangements even a day of checklist so nothing gets left behind. And of course, your very own Christmas cupcakes that you don’t have to share with anyone (ok, maybe Harry!). 

I love you friend, and I am so happy that this year has brought you so much joy. I hope you and Harry have a very Merry Christmas and that 2018 brings you everything you’ve ever dreamed and more. 

Love, Brie. 

For @butlergerry (+Gaelyn)

Powered by Coffee, 365, 24/7. The shirt seemed to precise to pass up! And the cupcakes, of course - espresso flavored because you didn’t get any coffee this year (weird, right?) so I figured they were a pretty close runner up. The helmet is for Gaelyn and her new bike! You can wear it too if you like, but I’m not sure it will fit right! And lastly, you didn’t think I’d let this whole spa thing just roll on by did you? Now that I know this little tidbit about you, I thought I’d treat you to very own, at home, spa treatment. 

Thank you for being my friend for one whole year! I hope there’s many more to come but in the meantime, I’m wishing you and that perfect little angel of yours the very merriest of Christmases and an unforgettable 2018! 

Love, Brie.

For @deltslea

My partner, my friend, I hope your Christmas is filled with all the magic and joy the universe can hold - I’m looking forward to another year of laughing, creating and believing with you! May 2018 be the best you’ve ever had! 

I saw this print and immediately thought of the many conversations we’ve had about the importance of kindness and I thought it was a nice reminder that it all starts with being kind to ourselves. The cupcake bath bombs just smelled yummy and I thought someone amazing deserved them, so obviously, you came to mind first! The bracelet also reminded me of you - I love the message but I also love watching you work and hearing you perform, so never, ever stop singing you song! And lastly, given the chaos that is our world, a day planner always come in handy but this one is not only (almost) as pretty as you, but sets the tone for whats to come right from the start! Merry Christmas, my friend!

For @residentgoober, @dempjoe, @signofharryedwardstyles, @roerigz, @skarsgardb, @xolively, @oneforhoran, @apopple & @bjamesjr, @taylorkitcsh & @roberttsemma and @edwardhardy & @elisabetholsan

There are three things I think about when Christmastime rolls around: 1) sweets. 2) my amazing friends 3) the importance of giving. So for all of you, I’ve included some homemade gingerbread cupcakes along with a small token of my appreciation that is very near and dear to my heart. 

The Giving Keys was started by a very special friend of mine who saw a need and wanted to approach a solution in a whole new way. The company employees men and women who are transitioning from homelessness - each key is hand stamped and put together by someone who has faced a great deal of struggles and is working hard to get back on their feet. Each key is stamped with a one of a number of phrases (I have chosen ‘Believe’, given the season). The hope is, is that each time you wear it, you will be reminded to believe in yourself, to believe in others, to believe in magic. And if, by chance, you come across someone who you feel needs those thoughts a little bit more than you do, pay it forward and pass it along. With any luck, we can spread the message everywhere! 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that 2018 is as good to you as you have been to me! 

Love, Brie.

It’s all fun and games until someone checks the naughty list (tip: you made the nice list!). 

For @reinlili

Alright babe, it’s our first official Christmas and all I can say is that I hope there’s many more to come for the two of us. There was so much I wanted to get you to make sure this year was as special as it gets, but I figured I’d save some for other occasions, since I intend for there to be a lot of them. Here’s what I settled on for this year though. 

First, the rings. They might not be of the engagement kind, but you can consider it a promise (do people still do that?) - I know we’ve talked about jealousy a bit lately and while I don’t think it’s a problem for us, I thought this might help ease both of our minds a little bit. They’re a set, and I will wear mine always so you never have to worry if anyone is wondering - they will know my heart is spoken for even before I can tell them. Next, the flowers. Okay, I thought these were really cool and something you could take along with you when we have to be apart. Keep them in the box and (somehow, magically) they will last whole year (cool, right?!). 

On to the naughty list stuff. It looks like a candle, smells like a candle, is a candle. But it also melts into a deliciously silky massage oil that I thought we could have a little bit of fun with! Next is a book of love poems by Pablo Neruda. They’re almost as beautiful as you and I wish I had the talent to tell you how I feel as elegantly as he does but I’ll borrow his words this time so you never have to wonder. I figured I’d leave this last one boxed up so we could open in private later, but you can probably guess what’s hidden in there (Don’t let your dad see this one!). 

Meeting you and getting to spend the past several months falling more and more in love with you has been then absolute best thing that’s happened to me and more than I ever could have hoped for. You’re my everything and I look forward to spending the next year, and many more after, falling even more in love with you. Have a very Merry Christmas, babe. 

Love, Dave. 

For Zoey @zoeydevtch

Merry Christmas Zoey, I pulled in a favor from the big man and got you off the naughty list. You can thank me later! I got you a mug made without upcoming smash reality show hit - I figured it might motivate us to get things done (or just make you laugh when you see it and remember what nerds we are!). I also got you a couple snowboarding goodies - socks and gloves (don’t ask me what is with all the pink this time around, but it just happened) - stay warm and safe out there, will you?! And lastly, but perhaps most importantly, the only hangover tonic you will ever need.  It’s handcrafted using a unique blend of herbs known to ease the ailments caused by the overindulgence of a good time. Can be mixed into cocktails or employed to alleviate nausea, stress headaches, anxiety, or an upset stomach. Goes great in Whiskey, Bourbon, Tea, or straight in Soda water.

Anyway, if my mom had managed to push out a girl at some point, I’m pretty sure she would have ended up a lot like you (nice, but a bit weird), so I figure you’re probably about the closest thing I’m ever going to get to a sister and now we just need to make the Dueco’s official so that next year at this time, we can share the family insanity! Have a great, one and hey, try and be good?

Dave.

For Zach @roerigz

Merry f’in Christmas man! 

I just wanted to take a minute to celebrate the holidays with you and thank you for being not just a stand-up guy, but a great friend this past year-ish (not quite, but close enough, right?). We’ve had some good times but you’ve also listened to me babble on and on about just about anything and everything with patience of a fucking saint. You’re good people, brother, and I’m glad our paths crossed. 

Alright, first up, some new longboarding gloves and a sneaker cleaning kit so you can look fresh as hell once all this snow goes away and we can get back out there again. I threw in some snowboarding goggles because a man has to look good all year round, right? Lastly, I came across this nifty little business card holder that not only seemed appropriate but well timed give your new adventure. I figure those new business cards are going to be in high demand, so you should have something both handsome and convenient! 

I hope you and the family have an excellent Christmas and that 2018 is extra good to you all! Merry Christmas!

Dave. 

For @tylerjbburn, @levittjoe, @edwardhardy, @dempjoe, @evanpxtrs, @bviewgron, @shay-bright, @roberttsemma

Merry Christmas friends, 

I wanted to do something a little different this year, because we all know Santa is going to spoil you all rotten and I didn’t want to contribute to the corruption, so I figured I’d do something good! I think most of you know that I lost my best friend to cancer awhile back. While he was battling the disease and since he passed, I’ve been a huge supporter of Stand Up To Cancer, which raises money every year to accelerate the amazing and groundbreaking research happening all over the country. All the proceeds from your spiffy new hoodies and travel bottles will be a part of helping us get closer to finding a cure, once and for all! 

Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing Christmas! Thanks for the laughs and the good talks. Here’s to many more in 2018! 

Dave.

To my GOT’s family:

To my Khaleesi ▬ @khaleesiofbayviewxo: Some other English specialities are waiting for you at home but here’s some hot chocolate and a blanket because this is the best thing you can drink and this is the best place to drink it. I am really happy to have you by my side here, and in my life. I hope you have spent the most wonderful day. Merry Christmas, Em. Love, Kit.

To my favorite bastard and my dear friend ▬ @iwannrheonn: Merry Christmas, buddy! I am so grateful for all the moments we have spent together this year. Having you by my side is the greatest thing. So, thank you, buddy. Thank you for always being here, for always being supportive and ready to go drinking and playing with me. To another year full of fun, beers and great moments! Love, Kit.

To my beer buddy ▬ @dempjoe: Beer will always be there for us but I also wanted to let you know that I will always be there for you too. Cause you’re my buddy but you’re also like a second brother. So thank you for being in my life and have an amazing Christmas, buddy. Love, Kit.

To the girl who will never admit that I’m handsome ▬ @dormernatali: Merry Christmas, my dear! I know you didn’t want me to paint your face so I found someone else to do it. Or at least, I bought a painting of yourself to a woman online. Her name’s Anna Shapovalova, she’s Ukrainian and she’s way more talented than I am because she managed to make you look pretty and that’s a huge thing. Along with this piece of art, I bought you a glass which is saying bullshit but since you pretend to be powerful, I guess it fits you well. Love, Kit.

[letitbrie]

Joe @dempjoe

We don’t know each other very well, but Joe (other Joe, not you) talks about you all the time, so I figured I couldn’t really go wrong with video games and beer. Apparently the beer is some special edition Mortal Kombat thing? It’s supposed to be good though, so enjoy. The t-shirt just seemed fitting for a game lover turning thirty. 

I hope you have a great birthday and that this year is your best ever. Remember, thirty is the new twenty so you’re still doing okay! Happy Birthday! 

x, Brie.

Joe, @dempjoe

Welcome to your 30′s, dude. It’s not as bad as people say. Anyway, I started with the gaming chair because let’s be real, we all need one. It’s comfy and even has a spot to hold your beer. What more could you ask for? How about a balls scratcher? Now you don’t have to stick your hand down there when things get a little uncomfy. Still not enough? How about a beer weight - now you can legitimately drink and work out at the same time. Who needs to the gym when you’ve got beer, right? 

Anyway man, one fucked up night in Georgia (does anyone actually remember what happened?) and look at us now! You’re a cool dude and I’m glad to be able to call you a friend. Or a dick. Usually both. 

Love ya man,  Dave. 

[iwannrheonn]

@IwanRheon: Closing night tonight for the wonderful Les Mis cast of Bayview...! It’s been an honour to get to work with some of the most talented people in showbiz, and even more insanely gratifying to be up on stage with you all delivering something we’ve all worked so hard on together. From rehearsal voice cracks to costume hiccups on opening night, I’m going to miss working with each and every one of you lovely people. Au Revoir, je vous aime tous.

Karaoke Party Thank yous

Thank you very much to everyone for coming, making the night spectacular and bringing some great gifts! You were all absolutely fantastic, and I never thought we could out-do Queen… But we did! I hope you had a good night, enjoyed the food and drink, and aren’t feeling too bad this morning…

Honorable Mentions:

We can all agree we were both not expecting… And really expecting Ryan to pick up the microphone and whack up the volume to George Michael’s, “Careless Whisper” I’ve never seen such passion and dedication in one man, but it was a roller coaster.

And a final mention to the formidable Sebastian. Meatloaf has never been done so much justice. Ever. A tear in the eye and a microphone in hand, and I’ll promise you now, man; Minka wasn’t laughing, it was tears of joy(!) You’ve got balls of steel for that solo and the voice of a drunk angel, I loved every second of it! 

Thank you to everyone who got involved!
