This helps out alot. Although I make hats mainly, sometimes I'd like to send an extra something. I do have a suggestion, and I am new to this so maybe it's a repeat suggestion but I think more info about "likes" and sizes would be helpful. I recently SJed a 14 year old boy and had no idea what he would like (since interests can vary greatly at that age). I hope he likes his hats!
ReplyDeletei try to ask ppl what they like but a lot of the time they don't tell me. Thats why I thought this post might be helpful. I will definitely try to get more ideas of what ppl like though :)
