    I don't mind shipping internationally.

    How's everybody going about this? I have a few ideas, but I'm wanting to make sure my person doesn't have the book(s) I'm buying.

    Dear Santa:

    If you have me, I'm easy, since I have a small collection relative to the folks on this board. I've created a collection thread.

    I'm in the same boat. This will be...difficult. Hopefully it will also be very rewarding.

    Can anyone recommend the best way to safely ship a Stand S/L? do you think Christmas paper around it is enough...?
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    I am super excited to create a very personalized gift for my recipient. Do we have a mandated shipment date for these gifts?

    Also...

    Dear Santa,

    I have been very good this year and worked hard to grant some of my own wishes. As a result, my King wishlist is dwindling down to only the more hard-to-find or expensive items for the most part. Please ask your elves to begin producing these first edition first printing items in pristine condition for $50 or less. I'm certain that is possible with Christmas magic.

    Just in case Christmas magic doesn't extend to book collections, I will toss out these other helpful hints... my favorite King book is Insomnia (I own both first edition cover states, but no other editions). I will therefore find anything Insomnia related to be uber neat. I also have a deep love of all things Oy. A DEEP love. I've considered an Oy tattoo. I'm a librarian. So. There's that. I enjoy gifts with a personal touch. If this gift is something that comes from your heart, I'll think it's awesome. I'll be proud to tell others, "This awesome gift is from Santa. Santa is a tdt.org member and it is wicked cool to have something (s)he picked especially for me." For example, if BadPenny sent me anything Pennywise related, I would cherish it forever knowing how much that item was special to him too. It would be a constant reminder of the "himness" of the gift. If Merlin sent me anything Red Sox, it would be the highlight of my collection as I know how much love he would need to have for me to send a gift that would be so loathsome to him. A great addition to the tdt.org subset of my collection!

    So, Santa, I'll be grateful for anything that you choose to gift upon me!

    Sincerely Yours,
    Krystle

    Totally. Just be sure to put a "do not bend" sticker on it. Or "fragile" if you're Italian.

    I'm also finding this difficult. Trying to keep the parcel under 2kg otherwise it will cost about £50 to ship. Already packed and unpacked it. I could always cut the boards off the page block to save weight!.
