Presents

When you are sending letters or stuff to your favorite celebrities have you ever included a little gift? If so what?

[loveryan]

Yes, we send gifts to our fave celebrities when it´s their B-Day.
We send T-Shirts, brazelets, rings, b-day postcards...

I usually send drawings,pins,postcards and sometimes bracelets :]

I never send gifts. It costs way too much money, and you can't be sure if the celeb will even receive it.

And personally, I don't believe in buying gifts for people I don't know/haven't met, it's far too personal in my opinion - but I respect if other autograph seekers do it, everyone has their own preferences.

I sent gifts a couple of times when I first started collecting, but I was only fourteen then.

I sent a little teddy bear wearing a nurse uniform to Jan Pearson from Holby City, (because her character was a nurse.) and she wrote back, saying she was really touched.
I also sent a poem to Rita Rogers (psychic/medium) and she wrote me a letter saying how much she enjoyed reading it.

When you're a kid, I think it's ok to send a gift with your letter but it seems a bit stalkerish when an adult does it

The most I've ever done is send a photo that I took. Sometimes I'll take a photo of a sports star and send them a copy and one for them to sign.

Yeah, definitely. If I was a female celeb for instance and a thirty-year old man sent me a gift, I'd be scared. :neutral:

yeah i've heard of people who've included just little things with their request for the celebrities and wondered if everyone did it or just a few

[Moridin]

I think it's stupid to do unless the person isn't very well known because I bet most of the time the celebrity doesn't even read the letter let alone dig through to care about presents. Most of the "presents" people send end up in the garbage and IMO it's a waste of money to send them to people hoping that in the end they will keep it.
