Yes, I know that Christmas isn't for another 4 weeks and 6 days from today, but still. Almost every year, I get gift cards to Borders or Barnes and Nobel for Christmas from most of my friends and I wind up recylcing the extra ones as presents.

So, here are some ideas:

1. Jewelry from *YellerCrakka. I LOVE his jewelry . If you're getting me something from him, please talk to me about it because you might get me something that I don't like. I don't have pierced ears, so please refrain from buying me earrings. Thank you

2. Gift Cards. I don't mind receiving gift cards from people. I do mind if they're all to the same place. You can get me a gift card for: bookstores (Barnes and Nobel/Borders/Waldenbooks), Best Buy, Target, Wal-mart, Plaza Art Store, Pearl Art Store, Master Card/Visa gift cards. Again, please let me know which one you're getting me. Books are nice and everything, but I want a little bit of variety (The Master Card and Visa Gift Cards allow me a lot of freedom). $20-$25 will suffice.

3. Anything photography related. Photo paper would be much appreciated. I don't know the name of the brand that I get, but I will update this journal later with the name. The kind of photo paper I get is Ilford 8 x 10 in (20,3 x 25,4 cm) glossy photo paper, which can be found at Penn Camera.

4. Loveless manga vol. 9 and anything else Loveless related. I haven't completely given up on manga. Loveless, by Koga Yun ("Yun Koga" is how it's serialized in the English adaption of the manga), is pretty much the only thing that I still read manga-wise (I will also accept Ritsuka plushies, etc ).

5. Handmade presents in areas of art that I am not versed in. I'm a photographer, so photography is my strength (duh). So some cool presents would be plushies, duct tape art, textiles, amigurumi, lineart/hand drawn drawings/drawings done with Photoshop, etc. For the drawings, it can range from monochromatic (one overall tone [black/white or sepia]) to color, head-shot to fullbody.

6. Novels I like books by James Patterson a lot. I've read seven of his books already, so ask me first about which book you're getting me so you don't get me a book that I already own by him and/or a book that I already read.

7. dA Subscription. Not the top priority on my list, but it's something that I'd like

8. Festive Gifts. Anything Christmas themed, like ornaments, etc.

9. Cookie Recepies. I love making cookies at this time of year. If you have any recepies that you'd like to share (besides Gingerbread Men), note it to me

10. Anything on my dA wishlist (it's in the header of my journal). If you need my address so you can send me any of the prints, just note me. Also note me about picture sizing.
