PLEASE READ (: Gifts to celebs..???

[Star9685]

Nobody replied when I posted this a couple days ago..Figured I'd try again. (:

Okay, so I've never really sent a gift to a celeb other than I've drawn pictures of them. I'm not the best artist but they're light (obviously there paper ) and they show you took some time.

I was wondering what gifts you've sent, or thought about. Or even not necessarily a gift but something extra that shows your a true fan or just something nice. (:

A lot of people send bracelets, but I would want to send a handmade one they would actually wear. And all I have are plastic beads small children use. lol. I wouldn't even wear one now..

I've also heard the suggestion of a bookmark. Which could be cool if their nicely decorated. And they won't raise shipping cost much.

So, what are your thoughts???

I normally send them handmade bracelets, what can I say its the only thing I can make XP

Anyways, I aslo send them b-day cards (: .

I think your drawings would be cool to send. If I could draw I would send them.

[Star9685]

Yeah, haha. The only thing is I really can't draw...I just think it shows you took some time doing something... I also always decorate the envelope. Savannah Outen and Chelsea Staub both gave me a compliment on that, so it's worth it.

It might seem impersonal, but if you have an idea for something they enjoy, a gift card is nice. Of course, you'd want to send them a well written note to accompany it and explain why you chose it.

they don't need/want anything from you.

I think that sometimes sending a gift to a celeb can be a bit cheesy. If you write a letter to them in your own handwriting it shows that you have spent time and that they should appreciate.

I bought a brooch to Katy Perry and sent it to her via venue =)

I have made cards before and sent hand made bracelets and earrings once. You can get nice embroidery threads and beads or swarovski crystals at sewing shops.

I sent David Tennant a birthday card that sang "Happy Birthday David" for his 35th, and on the reply he wrote Thank You...that really made my day!

I also sent Jo Joyner a large sundae glass filled with bath stuff (it came like that)...cost me £10 to send...no reply yet and that was in late November (early Christmas present to beat the rush!).

So I guess it can be a waste of money if you never hear back, though I do think that if you put thought into it and adore the celeb then it is worth it!

Cheap gifts - little keychains with their name on, you can pick them up for a few pound. Or those little cards with poems on. They really wont mind if you dont sent anything, but if feels nice yourself!

Hi Star9685!

Firstly, I'd just like to add that there is absolutely nothing wrong with sending little gifts - they would (of course) appreciate the kind gesture of a fan sending them a little something unique. {thumb2}

I myself very rarelt send gifts, as I've said here before only in my second letters to the same person after they sent me an autograph (not to everyone!). But when I do, I always handmade something myself, usually little bracelets or bookmarks with a nice quote on it. You don't have to send a gift at all, because if you at least do the "trouble" to handwrite a nice letter, it should be enough! If you get a special reply and would like to thank the person for their time, that's when I sometimes send gifts.

I suggest that you "study" the interests of the person you're writing to, and that should give you an idea on what to send. For example, I sent actor Charlie Cox a special handmade bracelet as he's a very modern guy, and of course he kindly thanked me for it.

Good luck Star9685!! {thumb2}
