yeah, i'm thinking in the future we may need to bump up the price a bit. you can hardly find t-shirts for $20.

[captncrzy]

It says $20 range.

[chairmenmeow47]

i understand, but as someone who got rage patton one year, i can attest to trying to stay in the range when you add in shipping thanks for putting this together, jen!!!

[gaypalmsprings]

yeah, i'm thinking in the future we may need to bump up the price a bit. you can hardly find t-shirts for $20.

If you get me, just ignore the spending limit.

[captncrzy]

Eh, I guess I should mention that the gift should be in the $20 range. Shipping shouldn't be a factor.

[chairmenmeow47]

good point. maybe i just am over-thinking it

[getbetter]

Fuck it im in.Ill fill in that survey when i get home

[marooko]

I tried to participate this morning, but then I had to leave for work. Now I'm just participating in the thread.

[Courtney]

1) Favorite colors: Jewel tones. Charcoal. Hunter green. Indigo. Goldenrod. Plum.

2) T-shirt size: XL, but I only really wear crewneck t-shirts at the gym or when I'm sleeping in a hotel room with friends. I prefer scoop or v-neck.

3) Favorite animal: You probably shouldn't get me anything with an animal on it. Unless it's fucking awesome and Hannahrain-approved. However, you can get me any/everything with Ira Glass on it.

4) Bands: Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo; anything that Bmack says I should listen to.

5) Movies: Wall Street, Trading Places.

6) Eating Establishments: Seattle stuff: Victrola Coffee, Homegrown Sandwiches. Anything local/seasonal/sustainable/organic. My kitchen.

7) Candy/Snack Foods: Scotch. Most things that contain rosemary or ginger or hazelnuts. MarieBelle hot chocolate. Anything earl grey flavored or scented. Salted caramels. Last year for the gift exchange, I received a big box of assorted teas and coffee and it was the best thing ever. Also this is less in the snack and more in the cooking category, but I'm very interested in niche/artisanal varieties of vanilla, olive oil, honey, and flake salt. When in doubt, ask thefunkylama for guidance because I'll probably like anything she signs off on.

8) Activities: Grad school work. Cooking with my CSA box. Reading The Economist, The Atlantic, Harpers, the WSJ, and the Sunday NYT. Going to art museums and the symphony and theatre. SLEEPING.

9) Sports: I'm not really into sports but I will cheer for my school's sports teams.

10) Other Stuff: I'm really into fountain pens and fountain pen ink right now. And any office supplies and paper goods produced by the brands Field Notes, Russell+Hazel, Rifle Paper Co, and Rhodia. I love Mrs. Meyers brand cleaning products. I love letterpress stationery. I need more socks because it's freaking cold in Seattle, and I'm especially fond of all things striped, argyle and polka-dotted. If you can find me a case for my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone that isn't ugly as all hell, I would be pleasantly surprised because I'm not sure that exists. I'm also on the lookout for one of those keychains with the really long leather straps because I'm always losing my keys in the bottom of my bookbag and I think that would help. I am obsessed with Burt's Bees lip balm. If you know about any of the following music genres and would like to make me a mix, that would be pretty badass: soul, afrobeat, disco, glam rock, krautrock, no wave or slowcore. I would also be really excited to receive something local/special that's only made in your city and that I can't get here.
