[meme] holiday Wishes 2018
Nov. 29th, 2018 05:13 pmHow It Works:
Post to your DW/LJ/Facebook Notes (publicly or locked) with a list of things you want to receive for the holidays. They can be anything, from a personalized DW/LJ icon or drabble to a new house because your old one is dirty - as long as all the items on the list are things that you genuinely want.
If there's anything on your list that needs to come to you through the mail, make your shipping address available, but please be safe about it and don't post that part publicly - just specify how people should go about
Next:
Look around your circle/friends list for others who have posted the meme. If you see a wish you can grant, GO FOR IT. You might find a little thing you can do for free that will make someone happy, or you might just discover that a stranger is longing for the exact boxed set of DVDs that you no longer want.
Don't spend money unless you want to, and don't commit to more than you can handle without stressing yourself. There are no rules to this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. If someone surprises you with a gift certificate to the restaurant you never thought you'd get to go to, don't feel guilty or obliged to return the favor. The point is to spread around a lot of opportunities to grant wishes - use them as you see fit, and remember that your list gives those opportunities to others!

Hi I’m Emmy, I’ve been doing this on and off for several years; had to skip last year because a housemate didn’t like sharing the address. :D Now that it’s officially my address I can participate again!
01. Holiday cards - I prefer Yule/Secular/ Generic holiday, but if you have religious cards that aren't super denomination-specific I'll accept those too.
02. Stickers - I always get neat things when I ask for stickers and I love the variety I get. I don't really care what kind of stickers you give me: seasonal, anime, random, spiritual. I use them in journals and for ATCs.
04. A baby doll.
05. A long distance USB WiFi card
06. Amazon Wishlist - http://a.co/ik6IRif Sidebar is sorted by category/subcategory the default list is stuff that either doesn't fit anywhere or things I haven't sorted yet. I've changed up the sorting again this year because it was starting to get unwieldy. I also have a hidden subcategory list for kink/nsfw/innerkid stuff just let me know if you want to view that one.
07. Gift Cards: DollarTree, Amazon, Ebay are preferred.
08. Care Packages! I have some restrictions here though: please avoid: fragrances (unless all-natural, food scented things are usually better than florals), fish/shellfish, treenuts/peanuts, and dairy.
09. help me catch up on bills (and keep my apartment). My paypal is ehryniewi@gmail.com
10. More followers for my journal here!
If you're interested in fulfilling a wish that requires an address, you can either DM me here, on dreamwidth/LJ, or at my email address which is ehryniewi[AT]gmail[dot]com, please put Holiday Wishes & the wish # in the subject so I can filter these out so they don't get lost in my inbox. Thank you!
