Is "both have" instead of "have both" correct?

"You need an eye and a mushroom. I *have both,* in case you don't."
"You need an eye and a mushroom, which I both have in case you don't."

In most cases, it is correct to use "have both" as in "I have both," but is it grammatically correct to use "both have" in the case above? I know that "I both have," does not make sense on its own, but I often say "both have" in cases like the one above, and I was wondering if it is grammatically correct.

My friend needed a spider eye and a mushroom to make a fermented spider eye in Minecraft.

Thank you for answering.
