Product placement
Crock-Pot (a brand of slow cooker) — it ACTS as the base of the gift basket being assembled; the creator demonstrates how to decorate it and fill it with items to create a gift. Removing it would change the entire video. Walmart (a retailer) — it APPEARS as a hashtag/tag in the caption; removing it would not change the video content.
