Carters, we are bringing in professional shopping help for the holidays. If you’re savvy like Auntie Su, you know museum gift shops are where the best presents are at. And the Museum of Modern Art’s gift shop is art unto itself. Chay Costello is MoMA Retail's Associate Director of Merchandising and Product Development and she has recommendations for everyone – from the coworker/acquaintance to the person who has everything. Open your Notes app, because you need to get allllll of this down.  ...

Santa Paul discusses the patience and presentation needed to pull off the gift of a streaming subscription and why he may never need...

Hey Carters, we hope you're taking care during this stressful election week. We thought we'd revisit one of our favorite episodes in the meantime. We hope it brings you joy and a chiller dill.

Our jet-setting Aunties have returned home! Their overflowing carts mean we had to break this up into a two-parter. Ku tells Su about taking the fam to the Disney resort in Hawaii.
