A Gift For Stephenie Meyer



UPDATE: We need to have everyone's donations in by April 27th so that we'll have enough time to make sure we get the order in and shipped before the signing.

Here's an idea that has been lightly floating out there. My wife has just purchased her ticket for the book signing of Stephenie Meyer up in Salt Lake, and some of the ladies thought it might be fun to give her an Eeny Meeny Miny Moe souvenir at her signing. Anyone interested in doing this with us, I'll need some feed back on a couple things:

First, what should we get her? I personally think something more than just a t-shirt would be fun, perhaps a cute hoodie, a tote or messenger bag or something along those lines. Please just post your comments below so we can get a better idea of what y'all think.

Second, this would be fun to have it more personalized from the Gutter Girls. So, if you are interested, please add your donation from this site (there is a button on the right side of this blog to do so)and let me know what name you would like to have printed on the shirt, whether it be your lex name or your real name or both.

And finally, I would prefer not to publicize this on the Lex, so if you would please get the word out to any other friends on the Gutter that you think would be interested, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you do leave a donation PLEASE be sure to leave a comment indicating how you want your name to show up on the tote bag.

OOh I'm so excited!! Can I have my real name and my lex name on there?

I think that should be fine. I've since updated the post to reflect as much.

I love the idea of a tote bag (it came from somethingblue) then we can stuff it full of LOTS of stuff!

How much of a donation would you like Fry?

tarl said...

Well, if we end up with more than we need I think it would be fun to maybe purchase some other things for her as well. But I was thinking just a dollar or two would suffice.

Like the idea of the tote bag! Who couldn't use an extra bag to carry around stuff?! Like the idea of stuffing it full of stuff too. Thanks Fry and Sprty!

Please just put Somethingblue for me on whatever you decide to do. Thank you!

Variety said...

Excellent idea! - A bag full of stuff. I think we should all sign the same, either real names, lex names, or both. I'm up for whatever.

Thanks, fry and sprty!

Luisa said...

ok, I am excited for this. I would like my real name and my lex name maybe combined Luisa/NenaCullen.. Idon't know...but it's a briliant Idea!

violet-quagmire said...

Sounds like a great idea! :) The tote bag sounds ideal, and I'm happy with either Lex/Dex names or real names (or both). I'm sure whatever you decide will be perfect. Can't wait for the signings! Fun, fun, fun!

Thanks for putting this together, Fry and Sprty!

Fry and Sprty-

An excellent idea! I found another really interesting thing this morning. How about a book purse? It's fashionable, practical, and just plain cool! You could even put it in your Cafe Press store Fry! Here's a link: http://flickr.com/search/?q=book+purse

You could make one with any cover of Stephenie's books!

Great idea, Fry, Sprty, and Blue! I hadn't used my paypal account in awhile so I had to update some stuff...but it looks like it went through. You can put Simplicity on whatever you end up doing. Thanks a bunch!

This is exciting! I love the idea of a tote filled with stuff. I will absolutely contribute to the cause. If you need anything specialized from Manhattan to stuff in the bag , let me know. Also, if it's okay, I'll just use my Lex name.

Thanks Fry and Sprty,

What a great idea!! Like most everyone has said a tote is always wonderful to have. I like the idea of signing with both but either way is cool.

I love this idea and I'm so excited to see how it turns out! Seems like most people are listing both their names, so Emily/Candeo works for me- thanks!

I hope it is not too late to add my name to the "gift list", I'd like to participate. (My donation is a combo of paying for your design for my coven as well as my Stephenie gift contribution.) You can put my Lex name and real name on - I'll just post my Lex name here and you can fill in the rest.
Thanks Tarl!
