We could all use a B.F.F. like Jake Shane in our life. He’s someone who can deliver the perfect pep talk and an equally great holiday gift.

To help you show up as your freshest self this holiday season, the Therapuss podcast host exclusively shared with E! all of his favorite holiday gift suggestions, essentials for the perfect night in, and so much more.

Plus, he even gets thera-pissed about something we can all relate to: bad breath.

"It's my number one fear, ever since I got my wisdom teeth out when I was in 10th grade and someone told me I had bad breath a week later at school. It was the worst thing to ever happen, but thank God they told me," he said.

Luckily, TheraBreath is here to help with their oral rinse and new toothpaste. It was a "no brainer" for Jake to team up with the brand, he said. Recently, he even sent personalized Breathapy videos to fans who needed a bit of a pep talk, and some fresh breath tips, as part of a sweepstakes.

"85% of people would actually want you to tell them that they have bad breath, but only 15% will," Jake added.

One thing we're 100% certain we can share? Jake's holiday gift ideas, what his besties are getting in a Secret Santa (shh, don't tell them!) his fitness faves and more.

Do you have any holiday gift ideas for the Therapuss listener in your life?

"I think we'll probably do a friend group Secret Santa. We always say we'll do one and we never actually do it. So we should probably do it this year," he shared.

"If I got Payton, I would get her a bowl of paella. If I had Brett, I would get her new running shoes. If I had Julia, maybe a new charm for her phone. If I had Alice, I would get her a Labubu. And if I had Kennedi, I would get her a pair of leggings because she’s a leggings girl."

What would you puss-scribe someone in need of a holiday pick-me-up?

"You need to find a good show to binge. It’s okay if you’ve seen it before, preferably if you haven’t before you can fall in a little harder. I would say Girls is the perfect holiday watch or rewatch. Right now, I'm rewatching Homeland, which has been amazing."

Homeland

"Find a show that you should re-watch or watch, and that is the perfect holiday pick-me-up. Just throw yourself into a world," Jake said.

Tell us about your other essentials for a cozy night in.

"A Lola blanket, a Christmas tree scented candle – snif has a really good one that we use. And then maybe a big bowl of pho."
