Care Share 2019

[ramdomthought]

@bels if i send him a nalgene with a CLEAN CANTEEN sticker is that good enough

[bels]

anything will do. He keeps tweeting about the lids on evian bottles and it's so gauche.

Probable better to put a red rectangle sticker on it though. He seems to be really into things that have a red rectangle on them for some reason.

Got my care share from Vgtbls in the mail the other day!



He sent me an excellent package, as you can see from the photo below. I tried on Bless No. 28 and it fits! Very generous gift, thanks again! Keep your eyes on Suto for that fit pic. The Patagonias have already been worn, and are quite comfortable. I was confused by it during the video, but the Mr. Potato Head toy is a gem.



-Postcard
-Supreme bag
-Patagonia socks (2 pairs)
-Assorted stickers
-Mr. Potato Head toy
-Notebooks (Pantone and Moleskine)
-Jeju nose strips
-Bless No. 28
-Leather keychain

I rec'd a lovely care-share from @alby!

Spoiler:

~A Raspberry Pi. Wow, a lil computer! Honestly I've been kinda missing fucking around with linux, this will give me an extremely cost-effective way to do it! Gonna be a hacker again, baby.

~Cellars t-shirt. Cellars is alby's brand. I like it, I have some questions about the design in the back and how people in my social circles would react to it, but overall, good shirt, glad to have it.

~Supreme fortune cookie. This was, unfortunately, crushed in transit but I licked up the crumbs just now and they were good! The fortune was extremely bad tho :(

~A Supreme logo sticker. Haha nice.

~A Supreme plastic bag. Wow, lot of supreme stuff, haha. These are the first supreme items i have owned xD

~"Various Japanese magazines". These were very interesting, I loved the illustrations in the Reckless issue, some real inspo in there for sure (there's a guy in there who's wearing a sort of cowboy hat, i am super into that because i'm all about cowboys and the American West right now, yee-haw!). It contained a highly problematic manga tho :(

~Braindead 1/100 magazine. A sort of zine (?) with a bunch of interesting illustrations in it. A lot of breasts. I don't know what you call this artstyle, but I will look to it for flintstone as I work on more zines myself.

~Book of Bukowski poems. I haven't really read Bukowski yet, and now I can! It looks like a very nice book. Another fine addition to my new bookshelf space.

~Interesting fabric. Yes, this was interesting fabric. Maybe I'll use it as a shawl or something.

~A Handwritten note. Nice to hear from you, Alby! I appreciate the high quality and thoughtful care-share!

[deadkitty]

came home at like 2am really bugging out only to find this heavy as hell box filled to the brim!!!



so glad to have an excuse to finally start some truly essential care-tags reading. extremely cds too! cant wait to check out some sticky tunes (after i grab a cd drive from school lol....)

then this was underneath:


hook it up @jonjo shelvey!!!!

[vgtbls]

Thank you @paf!!

[Yoder]

Another year, another share! thanks @beetlebob~~ its awesome!

[trasparenti]

well hey! I got home from 14 hours at work to found a lil package waiting for me. thanks @sickboy



He sent me a nice jacket, a neat pin and a book of poetry all the way from Canada. How nice! I'm excited to read the book, I haven't read poetry seriously since college. Pin:





Happy care share season everyone

shitI forgot to write a note ;-; if you got a care share from Brian Sweeney. its me

[sknss]

Got my care share from @fun_yunchables this morning and I'm absolutely chuffed! What a fantastic package filled with love (and rose petals).

When I opened the box, here's what I saw:


Everything was tucked away in the tote.

Some very cool tees




And lots of stuff to read! Looking forward to go through all of these. The notebook is super cute too.
I hope I can get some skateboarding tips from the DVD. I love the stickers you designed (with the happy face)



Can't wait to try all the nibbles! Dried Wild blueberries from Trader Joe's (how exotic!) and rice crackers wrapped in nori, oolong tea.


Possible care-tags tshirt design??


Thank you so much!!

[khayandhi]

THANK YOU @sknss!




featuring:
– very cool sensorily-themed packaging with bonus Portuguese
– book that I look forward to reading about migrant women in Scottle Land
– ! vegan chocolate (I have already thoroughly glued my teeth together with this)
– EXTREMELY LOUD quacking duck thing with which to lose friends and alienate people
– cute little weaving loom! I cannot even quantify how much yarn I have that I'm too lazy to knit up so this is very timely
– Armenian-paper! I didn't even know they still made this!

what a delightful parcel! I feel quite warmed inside!

[titkitten]

i must say, @azrayell, that we have a mystery on our hands. i am extremely freaked out. i did not send the box with a supreme sticker on it!!! i don't own a single supreme item.

but somehow the rules of care-tags care-share enforced themselves anyway. surprised a green tea pocket didn't also magically appear in there.

Spoiler:

but seriously i'm a little creeped out. (@psyche_of_frogs can bear witness, she was with me when i first saw this post.) how did a supreme sticker get on the box??? the guy who works are the post office does not seem like the supreme type.

[mellownyellow]

OMG THANK YOU @kindofyoung



Here's a video of me opening this package like a dork (pw is the most repped user on this forum)

[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/193095914[/vimeo]

KOY knocked it out of the park

- a USB stick with a bunch of games and the most fun folder structure that is kind of like a game in itself (seriously this was one of my favorite parts it was so thoughtful)
- C H E E S E (yas yas yas i love cheese)
- kallen kaviar tube
- swedish car candy (weeeee)
- swedish chocolate
- an AWESOME tiger of sweden zip up sweater (seriously, i love this, will post fitpic)

and a very sweet note to go with it all, receiving this made me so super happy! Thank you so much KOY you're a gem (love)

[kyung]

@bels blessed me with the most thoughtful care share package! what a lovely man, and such kind words!



what's inside?

Spoiler:

a lovely hand written (and illustrated?) card! so beautiful, i was filled with warmth as i was reading this after a long day at work



a book of beautiful poems, and some fun stickers!



a vintage pullover workwear shirt! such a charming shade of blue (my fav color), i will enjoy wearing it and being a literal blue collar worker



an mgsv hat! i feel so stealthy as im wearing this right now (and warm)



this incredible maha tshirt. that's not a print, it's so beautiful detailed and embroidered!



some more trinkets:

some palo santo sticks, burned like incense (such a deep rich scent, im burning some now)
ylang ylang essential oil (will be used in my diffuser)
some fun shoelaces
a bird pin and patch (you were correct bela, i do love birds)
beautiful rose scented soap (replaced the regular dove soap in my bathroom)
a fun keychain
a tamagotchi (this elicited genuine lols, and included batteries! so thoughtful!)



some edible treats:

yoghurt raisins (one of my favorite snacks! will keep this in my bag for long train rides)
mango pieces (also a strong contender for fav snack)
green tea (wonderful for this cold weather!)
and some interesting chocolates, i love hazelnuts so i am v excited to try these



and best of all, an official Bela™ Branded Selfie Sucker™ designed to perfect your fit pic game and help rake in the REP™ . I will rest assured knowing my fitpics and selfies will all be taken in a more efficient and well designed manner.

BIG thank you to bela for all these wonderful gifts! you have filled me with much mirth and warmth this holiday season. i will be sure to pay it forward to the loved ones in my life. happy holidays to all of you and thanks to @sknss for putting this lovely care share together!

[jrisk]

thank you @stolsdos!!

For the first time in my life I've been called old.

It's over, what's the point of even trying anymore.

Thankfully, the person who knows my reality was both willing to call me on it and help cure it.

@azrayell sent me a fragile link to a christmas story lamp scene goes here package all the way from one of the coasts of the US in what I have to assume is some kind of paradise.

Cutting the tape and struggling to lift open the flaps (because who cuts all of the tape before opening) eventually leads me to grab a piece of paper that right in the middle of the package, a good sign that someone might have even treated this box carefully on the way here (thanks fedex!)


CARE-SHARE 2016 in big, bold handwriting helps remind me of what the package was for. The writing was very legible, easy to read, and helped remind me of what this package was. Three sheets of paper to help notify the contents in the similar big bold writing (which I wish I could turn into a font, very slick handwriting).

While it wasn't explicitly written, I assume this package is a care package for life.

To help keep my mind busy, I was given the challenge of learning Mandarin and reading a copy of Fashion Boulevard from Feb 2, 2016.

Beer. Two crowlers of craft that sound wonderful and I'm looking forward to opening very soon and pouring into the octoberfest bootglass that has also been included. There was a smirnoff ice inside the boot - a thoughtful way to help fill the boot so it wouldn't break during shipping!

Then there's all the things to keep me company -- the OG starting Nintendo® Pocket Monsters™ which I'll be painting soon and talking through problems with. Also very fucking cool is this 3d printed ram's skull that's been 'fossilized' and a pretty intense piece.

I was given a really great American Apparel tee with a particular company's logo on it (meticulously photoshopped out the logo to help keep from doxxing the giver) and a Herman Miller tote. The tee will be perfect for Weekend Wear (and made in usa to boot!) and the tote will be perfect for me to fanboy with as I actually have to go to Herman Miller to work with some people in town.

To help me remember things, 3 pilot g2 pens were included as well as a field notes (perfectly pocketable size).

To help me feel young again: a supreme bag, a supreme sticker (already on my bike am i cool), and some sunglasses from SOCIETY OF GROWNUPS.

For when I travel somewhere: a microfiber cloth (perfect for cleaning glasses or a phone) and a tube of biore SPF50 sunscreen (to help me stay wrinkle and cancer free!)

Finally, a fruitcake and tin that I'm looking forward to opening and eating.

This was an awesome care-share. Thanks for being rad and sending it @azrayell and I hope I can be as lucky as to get you again as a giver in the future.

Finally got to pick up my careshare after what seemed to be the longest Thanksgiving break I've ever had. Big thanks @jrisk! Really great careshare!

Here's a pic of the whole thing. He packed me a lot of nice goodies! Will make use of a lot of this stuff! Peep the spoilers for some closer pics and details if you're interested!

Spoiler:

First up is a cute little notebook meant for my thoughts. My mind's been racing something serious lately and I think this'll be nice to calm me down a bit.


Next is what I think to be a book on one of Kanye's album. I"m not entirely sure of the contents of the book, but I do expect it to be a good read. Will give it a more extensive look after my exams!


These are some sick chocolate treats with a slab of caramel right in the middle. My GF told me she's been itching to try Sweet Shop and she enjoys this something serious (as do I). Too bad my doggo can't have any


Also some MHL pants! Absolutely love these pants and they fit great. Been looking for the perfect pants and I think this might come pretty close.


what's probably the most interesting thing out this box is this crystal experiment kit sort of thing. had no idea what this was, but had to open it up and go for it right away.


Right now the thing looks like this


and last but not least is this super sick tote bag. Will definitely be using this a bunch.

[parastexis]

Got mine, will have to wait until next week to post pics.

[edward]

Last week a Dr. Martens box appeared on my doorstep from one Brian Sweeney. Inside said box was:



- The Met "Cubism and Fashion" 1998 exhibition book (This is sick; I love modern art, and cubism is one of my favs. Haven't delved too deeply into this yet, but it's filled with interesting pairings of paintings and dresses. Great find!)
- Animal sox
- Cheeky treats (some more vom-inducing than others...)
- Cool bookmark from the Chicago bookstore I assume the book was purchased from, and which I forgot to photograph initially because I had already put it in the book I'm currently reading

Spoiler:

Many thanks indeed @bigbee (and sorry for my tardy post!)

[BIGBEE]
