Not only will the new season of Summer House bring some of the sunny season into the winter, so will Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke’s gift picks! And better yet? They’ll still arrive in time for the holidays — but you better act quick!
The pair sat down with Us for an interview to chat a little bit about Season 9 of Summer House and about their partnership with Amazon. The couple shared their “Bag of Tricks” from Amazon, which gives us a small sneak peak into some of the things they bought from the show. They’re great for Cooke and Batula fans, Summer House lovers and Bravo enthusiasts as well. However, if you want them in time for a gift you need to order ASAP — the holidays are quite literally around the corner!
“Our gift list is things that we’re using either on a regular basis, or something that you buy and you can kind of rely on,” Cooke said.
Season 9 of Summer House will officially premiere on February 12, 2025 — and the newly released trailer looks so good! Between a Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke showdown and all of the next-level themed parties, Batula is feeling a bit “anxious” ahead of the premier but is ultimately happy the teaser dropped “over the holidays” since there’s “plenty of stuff to distract” them with.
“Even though it was a great summer, it’s just always that anticipation of ‘what the hell did we do?’” Batula said.
The Buy With Prime feature on Amazon, which you can use to shop all of their picks, is a major staple, not just Cooke and Batula, but also the entire Summer House cast. Managing their everyday lives (such as for Cooke and Batula, running Loverboy and taking care of their cute pups) and running back and forth from the city to the Hampton’s is no small feat! That’s where they rely on Amazon to help them order costumes for parties and ship small essentials like chargers when forgotten.
“Have you seen the boxes that stuck up on our porch?” Batula joked. “I mean, we’re constantly using Buy with Prime, Amazon Prime, everything and it’s just so convenient. Like any last-minute things that we need, it’s just so easy to ship it to the house when we’re forgetting stuff.”
Buy With Prime is an Amazon service that allows you to shop with the convenience of Amazon’s two-day shipping, your already-existing payment methods and address information and their seamless return policy as well, all while shopping directly on your other favorite retailers’ websites. This means that if something you’re wanting isn’t exactly on Amazon, you still might be able to shop using the retailer’s features — simply check Amazon’s featured brand’s section to see if it’s applicable!
“I’d guess and say 90 plus percent of my purchasing happens through Prime,” Cooke said. “Just because it’s all in one place, there’s no guesswork as to where I bought something and I value convenience over everything because I am not a shopper.”
Their below Amazon “Bag of Tricks” picks illustrate some of their most sentimental finds from Summer House. It includes some of Amanda’s fashion and beauty favorites and some necessities for Kyle as well.
“I feel like you need a combination of things to check the boxes when you’re in the gift giving mood,” Cooke said.
If you’re in need of some stocking stuffers for the girls, Amanda recommends the SiO SuperLift Patches, which she, Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller use to “prevent wrinkles” as they “lounge in bed” throughout the season. Cooke, knowing Batula well, said that “she’ll lose or run out of” the Buxom Plump Shot Lip Serum, so he’ll save her day by “handing over a new lip gloss.”
However, if you’re in need of a big-ticket item, the Carbone Spicy Vodka Kit, according to Batula is “a perfect gift” for people that “can’t make it to New York City or just can’t get their Carbone connection to get them a reservation.”
Their picks don’t stop there! Keep scrolling to shop all of Batula and Cooke’s Buy With Prime favorites — starting at just $15!
Steve Madden Astor Black Leather
According to Cooke, Batula is “a sucker for Steve Madden” which is why he got her their Astor Black Leather style. Batula said they’re “really good” for most of their themed parties and that she’s able to “re-wear and repurpose” them as well. “I don’t want to give too much away from this summer,” Batula said. “But we had some edgier-themed parties where a good pair of biker boots were really good for it.” Get them “if you want to look like Amanda” Cooke said.
Belkin Secure Holder with Wire Cable for AirTag
Helping to keep all of their belongings secure while traveling, Cooke and Batula depend on the Belkin AirTag, which securely keeps luggage or duffle bags all locked up.
Buxom Plump Shot Lip Serum
If you want to know what’s keeping Batula’s pout plump and glossy on camera, it’s the Buxom Plump Shot Lip Serum. It keeps the lips a pop of color while also still being healthy, infused with a blend of collagen, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
Oxford Pennant ‘You’ll Think of Something’ Camp Flag
If you’re needing “some inspiration” while you work, Batula recommends this camp flag from Oxford Pennant.
SiO SuperLift Patches
Being able to “get rid of wrinkles and do some skincare” at the summer house “is really important” said Batula. That’s why she and many other of the girls on the cast will use patches like this pair from Sio that help to hydrate and smooth out the under eyes.
Sage Nation ‘Travel’ Clear Zipper Pouch
Cooke said he’s “a little OCD,” which is why he got Batula the Sage Nation ‘Travel’ Clear Zipper Pouch, to help “keep all our toiletries like in one place.”
Brightech Artemis Table Lamp
Batula thought the Brightech Artemis Table Lamp at the summer house was so “chic,” Cooke bought her one of her own to have!
Carbone Spicy Vodka Kit | 6-piece Gift Set
Get a piece of Batula and Cooke’s New York City life with the Carbone Spicy Vodka Kit, which Cooke bought during the summer when they were “stuck cooking at the house and “had to come up with something quick.” “I’m a sucker for Carbone,” Cooke said. “I hopped on the Carbone site, didn’t even have to worry about navigating throughout Amazon and they had a spicy vodka kit. It makes you look like you’re doing all the fixings and cooking like a proper chef, but the kit took the guesswork out of it and that was a Buy with Prime purchase.”
Belkin 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Dock
One of the things that Cooke and Batula ”forget constantly” while traveling back and forth to the Hampton’s is understably their phone chargers. That’s why Batula said she got Cooke the Belkin 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Dock because it “consolidates everything,” for charging iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches.
