This post is mostly for my family. I plan to update it as needed.
This gifting guide is very specific to me and my boyfriend and my roommate. I know I don’t interact with ya’ll as much as other family members, so I figured I’d write this up with all the gifting info you might want or need, should you be gifting us with stuff. The intent here is to be helpful. 😁
First: Hayley and Stephen honestly are uncomfortable with getting gifts from ya’ll. They will be happy to receive them, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. This is basically the answer I get every year when asked. Much shrugging.
Second: Hayley’s other stock answer to “what do you want for Christmas?” Is Barnes and Noble gift cards. She does not have a wishlist.
Third: Stephen’s Amazon list is curated by me and added to if I see something I know he’ll like or he mentions something to me. He doesn’t usually add to it himself.
Fourth: If you would like to shop somewhere other than Amazon, please do that. For books, I recommend Bookshop.org and Thriftbooks.com. Bookshop.org lets you support your local book store or just local book stores in general. Thriftbooks is generally cheaper than amazon, but their in-stock is a little dubious given they are basically a thriftstore.
Fifth: T-shirts! We love t-shirts, especially cute ones. TeeTurtle especially has some great ones. They've recently changed to having two types of fabric for their shirts and apparently a range of shirt styles... We prefer the "Premium Cotton." I wear an adult men’s XL or adult female 2X. Hayley wears an adult Medium. Stephen also wears XL.
Sixth: Stephen enjoys the Abominable Snowman from the Rudolph special. He’s a car guy, so do with that what you will. He doesn’t do candy so much, but he likes Twix, Ferrero Rocher, and Reese’s Pieces.
Seventh: Hayley likes anime stuff, but you might wanna ask me about specifics… Studio Ghibli stuff is usually good. And Sailor Moon and Digimon. Also a fan of Fringe and Lost, which are TV shows (if you weren't aware). Her favorite candies are Snickers and Reese’s.
Eighth: I still like unicorns. No wings please. My Pokemon of choice is Piplup (blue penguin dude). Studio Ghibli stuff is also a win for me. I specifically enjoy Jiji the black cat.
Ninth: We all like dragons, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Agents of SHIELD, Loki, and Alton Brown.
Tenth: Our Christmas stuff is blue, purple, silver, and white.
Eleventh: If you choose to buy my Harry Potter related merch, I would appreciate if it weren’t official merch. Fan-made or second-hand is best. Slytherin colors, please. (That's the silver and green)
Twelfth: Favorite Colors. Me: Pink, Black, Blue, Red, Purple. Stephen: Burgundy. Hayley: Blue, Black.
