Having a collection of some sort

May it be physical media, scary little dolls, cute plushies, rare coins, shoes, etc. It’s easier for your friends to find you a present or at least something that’s related to your fixations. :) also it’s fun! Additional rec: if you’re doing the gifting, include something personal, something that you handcraft, something that will take you at least 1-2 hours to make. A pop-up card, cute origamis, a collage, maybe even just a heartfelt letter. Maybe they like frogs? Draw a couple of frogs around the edges on the letter/card. Or some cute stickers that you know they’ll like. Doing so says, “I was thinking of you the whole time I made this. This is for you and you only. You are important to me and I have a lot of time on my hands to curate something for you because I love you!” <3

smoking paraphernalia

for our six month anniversary my girlfriend got me a custom cigarette case that i used until i switched from shorts to longs (and then started using to carry joints.) similarly, my friend made custom lighters for everyone that helped him work on a photoshoot / project with some motifs from the shoot i think paraphernalia is cool because it becomes a constant fixture in your day to day (yikes) and attaches a memory / individuality to something that you're doing constantly - i think in terms of a less destructive way foster this, stationary like pens or notebooks, phone or computer decals, etc. where it's just more personalized is the way to go, but that ultimately depends on the person and their habits :)
