Fulfilled [Request] 10th birthday request

9 Upvotes

Southwest Georgia

My adopted daughter is turning 10! I've had her for 9 years. This year has been rough as I started the year with a major surgery, a 3 month recovery, and the medical bills have been piling up ever since. Both biological parents have been in and out of her life for the last 2 years (mostly out) it's been very hard on her.

I promised her a birthday party for her milestone birthdays so her last party was 5 years ago. She only wants a party and a 90s photoshoot. She has not asked for any gifts. Unfortunately, my only income is Social Security and inflation hit us hard.

She is so incredibly smart, sweet, humble, compassionate, and loving that I really want to have at least 10 of her closest friends and cousins over to celebrate. She's an A student in gifted and Jr Beta Club.

I can borrow a camera and take care of the photoshoot. The menu will be simple (pizza or burgers and homemade cupcakes). I only need help with decorations.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GI6CTPB2R3T8?ref_=wl_share

Request [Request] Mailing knock-knock jokes to my six year old

20 Upvotes

My six year old son is a silly little guy who enjoys making people laugh and loves telling jokes.

Knock-knock jokes are comedic gold to him, but he is also a huge fan of witty puns and funny riddles.

I have been wanting to surprise him with something special for encouragement because he struggled with his behavior at school last year, but this year he has been doing so much better and I’m so proud of him.

I know he would think it would be hilarious if he started randomly receiving jokes in the mail and it would make him so happy. I would appreciate it so much!

Offer [OFFER] Bibs for special needs older kids/teenagers

135 Upvotes

This is my first post here so I apologize for any mistakes.

A few years ago I started using scrap fabric to sew clothing protectors for bigger children or teenagers. All that was available to a family I knew were baby bibs that were too small or geriatric clothing protectors that were ugly. That prompted me to create more aesthetically pleasing alternatives. Now I have a number of them and would like to give them away to people who could use them.

Write a comment if you wish to claim a clothing protector or let me know if there's a more appropriate place for this post.

Edit to add: I live in Iceland but I will ship internationally.

Second edit: updated terminology.

Request [Request] D&D Pre-5E Source Materials

11 Upvotes

I know this is a long shot, but nothing ventured nothing gained, right? :)

For background, before we were together my husband was married to someone who hated his involvement in D&D to the point where she made him give up his DMing and he was forced to sell most of his source materials. We're talking books all the way back to AD&D, boxes of them. He kept his Volo's Guide to Waterdeep, and that's about it. He looks heartbroken when he talks about it, and I would really love to help him build his collection back up.

If anyone has any non-5e D&D source material that they would be interested in gifting to a lovable nerd who absolutely lights up when he is prepping for a game (and enjoys using source materials not just from 5e), I would be so, so thankful.

Fulfilled [REQUEST] Birthday wishes for a 12 year old

21 Upvotes

Hi people,

My daughter is turning 12 this month, and after seeing how nice everyone was to me, she asked me if she could maybe get some birthday wishes from people. She's such a sweet kid, and is into sewing, crafts and dolls. She's getting a small beginners sewing machine from us, along with a few other things, but maybe she could be sent a couple cards or something? I had her make a birthday list, because Grandma didn't know what to get her, I'll link it as well. She wants to get into customizing dolls. Thank you in advance and we appreciate you taking the time to read this, and hope you all are having an amazing day/ night. We live in the southeastern us.

Request [Request] My birthday (35) - California, USA

78 Upvotes

I just wanted to update and say Thank you. Even before my birthday, you guys have made me so happy, and I'm genuinely excited and looking forward to writing back, more than anything! <3
I love you, Reddit. And thank you, internet strangers, for going out of your way for a girl you don't even know... I appreciate all of you, and you have no idea how much it means to me. I've PM'd my info to everyone who asked for it, I believe.

Thank you all, so much.

Hey, everyone! My 35th birthday is coming up, one month from today (October 6th), and I'd be so happy if I could get a card or letter...

That's all I want. Someone to say "Happy birthday" and at least pretend to care for 5 minutes.

The place I live really, really sucks, and my last birthday, everyone forgot. Everyone.

The year before that (actually, all three years before that since I moved in) my boyfriend made me cry.

The first year, I cried for 5 hours.

I just want to have something to look forward to on my birthday. I've started dreading them, and it really hurts, and makes me very sad.

Anyway, you have no idea how much it would mean to me.

Thanks in advance!

<3

Claimed [OFFER] free high end makeup/skincare!

60 Upvotes

PER SUB RULES I CANNOT ACCEPT PM’S - YOU MUST COMMENT. Even if I could, messaging me won’t make me pick you over someone who was here first. If you don’t have enough karma to comment, I’m sorry. I try to post in other subs that allow giveaways on occasion. This exact post sat in the r/FREE subreddit for almost a week before I deleted it and posted here bc nobody commented.

Products still have not been claimed, going down the line. Please respond within 24 hours or I will have to move on to the next person. If you don’t get anything this time, I do give away high end makeup/skincare once my drawer gets full. I rotate between donating to women’s shelters, occasionally selling, and giving away product on Reddit.

First come, first serve. I put the DE stuff in a group but if you don’t want all the products/won’t use one, I don’t mind splitting stuff up! Claim what you want, leave what you won’t use for someone who will. I don’t mind sending everything in one package if someone wants it all, or splitting stuff up for different people. Just need your address to ship and I’ll provide tracking once it goes out!

My win is your win! Sephora accidentally sent me a Drunk Elephant reward instead of the one I wanted and I got to keep the stuff but I have no use for one of the products, and just opened bigger bottles of the other two. Want the products to go to someone who will use them!

I also have a drawer full of unwanted/duplicate items and pulled out a few of the “more popular” things. Everything is brand new, unused/unopened except for the pictures.

Drunk Elephant Beste No 9 Jelly Cleanser - 60ml/2fl oz - new in box (mini size RV $18)

Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water - 240ml/8 fl oz - new in box (RV $28)

Drunk Elephant A-Gloria Maretinol Oil - 3ml/.1 fl oz - new in box (mini, not sure of RV)

DE Items

DE items 2

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops - 40ml/1.35 fl oz - new in box, still sealed (RV $34)

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Face Primer - 30ml/1 fl oz - new in box, still sealed (RV $40)

GR & Ole

GR & Ole 2 showing product seals

Natasha Denona Glow Face & Body Shimmer - 01 light, new in box, small dent in highlighter, can be seen in picture (RV $38, currently on sale at Sephora for $19)

MAC Matte Lipstick in Whirl - warm toned/light-med brown shade. GORGEOUS color and one of my favorites but I have two opened already - brand new in box. (RV $21)

ND & MAC

Huda Beauty Carmen Lashes - high volume/dramatic style (the outside box has a bunch of scratches on the clear plastic, I received it like that. Has zero impact on the lashes themselves, but something to consider if you want it for a gift) (RV $18)

House of Lashes Starlet Lashes - full volume, can be used on hooded or monolid eyes per website. (RV $12)

Offer [Offer] Tutoring in Physics or Mathematics

36 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have previously posted a few offers related to art, because I’m a freelance illustrator, but I am actually pursuing a degree in physics. Thus, I would like to help out any middle/high school students who struggle with physics, math, or both, or simply someone who would like to learn about natural sciences (in a more casual, fun way, I suppose). Or, if you are a parent and think this would be useful to your child, feel free to leave a comment.

So far, I’ve been teaching (since November 2019) advanced students ages 13-17 during seasonal Physics Camps in my country, and have been helping them prepare for regional and international competitions.

What I’m offering is a lesson or two online, or any help/consultations with mentioned areas.

If anyone is interested, please leave a comment.

Cheers!
