• Kylie Kelce said that there are toys she wouldn't want in her house on the latest episode of "Not Gonna Lie."
• Her 'please don't buy this for my children' gift guide includes toys with too much glitter and pets.
• Kelce's podcast topped the charts on Spotify and Apple after its premiere last Thursday.

If you're wondering what gifts to buy — or not buy — for kids this festive season, Kylie Kelce has got you covered.

On Thursday, during the second episode of her podcast "Not Gonna Lie," the media personality and wife of Jason Kelce shared her "brutally honest" gift guide for kids.

"I don't know about you guys, but I often see toys when I'm out shopping or scrolling social media, and I just think to myself, 'Not in my house,'" she said.

Referring to the list as her 'please don't buy this for my children' guide to holiday shopping, she recommended that other parents share it with "aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends — anyone who has asked, 'What can I get the kids for Christmas?'"

"This is your opportunity to have me deliver that harsh reality," said the soon-to-be mom of four.

1. Toys that require more than 5 minutes to assemble

When a kid sees a box with a picture of the toy, they will immediately want to play with it, the former field hockey player said.

"And you know what they're going to do the whole time you're trying to assemble it on a Christmas morning, a Hanukkah evening?" she said. "They're going to stand behind you and say, 'Are you done yet? Are you done yet?'"

"Don't do that to people. Let's not," she said.

2. Anything with too much glitter

As a mom of three daughters, all aged 5 and under, Kelce said that "pretty much everything" they get has glitter on it. "It makes their hearts so happy. I can't veto glitter as a whole," she said.

What she doesn't like about it is how glitter falls everywhere. "I need you to get something that glitter is sealed; I need it attached to that surface; I need it not leaving it," she said.

3. Toys with no volume control

Kelce said that when her daughter Wyatt was 2, she received an electronic drum set. However, it didn't come with volume control.

"I tried taping over the speaker, I tried putting it on a blanket when Wyatt wanted to play with it," she said.

She eventually retired the toy a week later but said the same person, Ed Kelce, her father-in-law, got her kid a new drum set the following Christmas. Thankfully, the new drum set did have volume control, she said.

"But there's still a lot of deep amount of guilt associated with the fact that I hid a Christmas gift from my child because I couldn't stand to listen to that damn thing for one more minute at the volume that it was playing at," she said. "I'm so sorry, Ed."

4. Anything with a heartbeat

Her kids have yet to be gifted a pet, but Kelce said she fears that when the time eventually comes, she will have to respond by returning it.

Calling it a "sick, twisted joke to gift," Kelce added that it's the parents who will end up taking responsibility for the pet.

"I'm already proud of myself when I can keep three children alive each day. I don't need to be working on any more pets, specifically pets that I have not chosen to bring into my household," she said.

5. Toys with too many pieces

"Once the kids start playing with toys that have a million pieces, I then have to go around and pick up all the little pieces," Kelce said. Eventually, pieces go missing, rendering the toys useless, and she ends up stepping on them, she added.

6. Toy weapons

Kelce said her kids have received a few toy weapons. On one occasion, her daughter, Elliotte, got "picked off" in the backyard by an airplane gun that Wyatt played with.

"So, they've proved that they have not earned the trust required to receive weapons, because they will try to take each other out, and I don't want to mediate any of that again," she said.

"Not Gonna Lie" dethroned "The Joe Rogan Experience" to take the top of the charts on Spotify Podcasts and Apple Podcasts after the release of its first episode last Thursday.

"It absolutely blew my mind," Kelce said at the beginning of her second episode. "I really appreciate you guys having such positive feedback, considering I'm still a rookie, and we're working out the kinks."

The podcast is produced by Wave Sports + Entertainment, the company behind her husband's podcast, "New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce." In August, the brothers signed a three-year deal with Amazon's Wondery worth over $100 million.

Kelce previously opened up about her rise to fame following her marriage to former NFL player, Jason Kelce.

"As public figures, Jason and I know there's talk about our marriage, but we don't give much thought to it," Kelce previously told Business Insider.

"We use social media in a way that is authentic to us and I make a conscious effort not to offer us up for the opinions of others."

A representative for Kelce did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular office hours.

• Mark Cuban learns about new technologies and trends through his teenage kids.
• Knowing about social media also allows the billionaire to connect with them.
• Cuban recently left "Shark Tank" to spend more time with his kids.

Social media may feel like unchartered territory to some parents — but Mark Cuban is leaning in.

In an interview with People posted on Thursday, the entrepreneur shared eight rules that he follows in life — including this one parenting tip.

"Number one, follow the scroll," Cuban, 66, said. "Oh my goodness, I learned so much from my kids. I learned what 'skibidi' is," he said, referring to the Gen Alpha lingo. "Skibidi Toilet" is an animated YouTube series about singing and dancing toiletlike creatures that want to take over the world.

Social media is an integral part of their lives, he added. "I keep on learning from them because they are exposed to all these new technologies."

Referring to himself as a "tech guy," Cuban said he tries to understand how social media algorithms influence his kids' lives.

Knowing about social media also helps him connect with them.

"They're in the car, and I'm driving my son. I can look over at a stoplight and see him scrolling through his Instagram or TikTok and know exactly what he's interested in," he said.

"Trying to be able to connect to him, which, like for any parent, could be almost impossible, but it's just informative," he added.

Cuban has three kids, who are 14, 17, and 21.

In May 2020, he posted a video on Instagram of him dancing with his daughters. "Teaching me to dance 😂😂😂," he wrote in the caption.

Last November, Cuban announced that he would leave "Shark Tank" after Season 16, which premiered in October on ABC.

"I'm leaving just to spend more time with my kids — they're teenagers now," he told The Wrap in October. "We shoot in June and September, and just getting the opportunity now when they're getting out of school to be able to spend time directly with them, that's important. I'm tired of missing that."

Cuban is not alone in using social media as a tool of connection.

Nina McCollum recently wrote for Business Insider that she uses TikTok and Instagram to communicate with her teenage son. They watch social media content together and have discussions about them.

"Politics, religion, science, life choices, and risk-taking are just some of the discussions social content has sparked," she wrote. "None of this connection would be happening if we didn't communicate through these videos."

A few celebrity parents have resorted to other means of connection.

"Modern Family" actor, Julie Bowen, said she hangs out around the house so her three teen sons know where to find her if they need her.

"If you just kind of park it, make fake cookies in the kitchen no one's ever going to eat, they start coming in and out. You start having conversations with teenagers," Bowen said in an October episode of "The Three Questions with Andy Richter" podcast.

Molly Shannon, a "Saturday Night Live" alum, advised parents of teens to change their attitudes about parenting in an interview on "Today with Hoda and Jenn." She added that they should have empathy when interacting with their teens.

"Most of the time, they just want to be heard. I try to think of that," she said.

Cuban did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.

• When traveling home from college for the holidays, my son went to the wrong airport.
• I knew I had to teach my college-age kids some important travel tips.
• I now make them buy their tickets and ensure they have pictures of their IDs.

My 19-year-old twins are experienced travelers. Since they were born, we have traveled internationally and domestically on every form of transportation. So last year, when they were college freshmen and traveled for the first time without me, I assumed it would go smoothly. Well, you know what they say about assuming.

The Thanksgiving flights to and from college went OK since they traveled together. It was the December break when one of my twins had an issue.

Since their last final was a week apart, they decided to fly home separately. I had booked their airfare since I had airline miles. I sent my son the ticket and told him all the information, but he must not have been listening.

When he got to the airport, he tried scanning the ticket, but it didn't work. After calling home, I realized he was at the wrong airport. He went to the same airport he flew from for Thanksgiving without knowing there were two airports in New York City. He took a $80 cab ride to the other airport and made his flight, but that was a costly and nerve-racking mistake.

We learned a lot that first year, so I was forced to teach my college students these five tips so they could make it home safely for every holiday.

1. Let your college student book their own tickets

When I told other parents about my son's travel mishap, they suggested that my kids book their own transportation. Not only will they pay better attention to where and when they are traveling, but this will also help them be more responsible adults who are less dependent on their mom.

An added benefit is that they will be more mindful of the cost of travel. That's all part of the college experience, right?

2. Take a picture of their passport or license

My twins have photos of their licenses and passports on their phones in case they forget or lose them. So far, they haven't, but it's helpful to have a backup.

I've also taught my kids a few important lessons about identification and traveling: First, always do a 360-degree sweep of any area before you leave. For example, if you are getting up from your seat in the waiting area, you should turn around and search the area before moving on to the next one.

Another suggestion is to check for important items like your wallet, ID, and phone several times while (and before) traveling.

3. Tell them to arrive early to allow for mistakes

When my son went to the wrong airport, he made his flight mainly because he got to the airport two hours early. The other airport was over 45 minutes away, so he didn't have much time, but it was enough to get there.

The flights at both airports were full, so I don't think he would have been able to fly that day if he didn't make that flight. Arriving early helped him correct the mistake and catch the flight.

4. Discuss safety tips when using ride-shares

So far, my twins have taken their college campus van to and from the airport. This is a safer and less expensive option than rideshare since the college has vetted the drivers who are college students. Your college student can check with their school to see if they offer similar transportation options that might be safer and less expensive than public ones.

The one time my teen took the cab, I discussed safety issues like checking for an ID and asking about the cost and forms of payment. I've also discussed the importance of being aware of your surroundings and keeping your valuables secure.

5. Discuss all travel rules beforehand

Since my twins fly and don't check luggage, they can only pack drinks that are 3.4 ounces or less, and I remind them about this to avoid issues. I don't want them panicked at the security line when they're told their toiletries are a violation.

If my kids are prepared and know everything they need beforehand, I hope their travel back home can go smoothly.

Hopefully, these tips will help your college student arrive home safely for the holidays and avoid costly mistakes.
