The book is now finished & I've received most of the presents for the box! But I'll just leave this bit of info here for the last few people who will be giving me their presents on Sunday:
I will need to open the gifts in order to find out who they are from - so please wrap all parts of your gift together, and then put the wrapped gifts inside another package to post to me, with a piece of paper with your username written on it. This way I can easily see who each gift is from, without having to open them.
The book & box will both be given to Patrick on Monday 20th June. I'll update this thread with pictures after he gets it!

uhm, could someone sum up the past birthdays gifts so n00bs like me get a general idea of what you're doing? Well last year we ended up doing a box of gifts. I can't really remember what everyone else made to put in the box, but I gave him a DVD of his Palladium show that me & my friends filmed. Not sure if that helps at all but last years thread may give you some ideas  patrickwolf.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pw&action=display&thread=5655And I think in previous years there have been books and cakes. |

very much thumbs up to this idea being started earlier this year and i'm happy for kayleigh to take the lead on gathering things together, too, if everyone else is?  i am so not arty so it'll have to be another letter for patrick this year, i guess! but i'll try and make it nice, i dunno. |

Haha, I actually started thinking about this months ago, but it was way too early to start a thread then sometimes with the amount of bloody deliberation on this board i wonder if it would be best to start planning for his next birthday as soon as he celebrates the last one. |

Oh! How lovely!! Just the other day I was thinking we should make something along the lines of a fanbook. I had never noticed anything on here before so this sounds like a really lovely idea and you can definately count me in I love the idea of themeing it around Love/Lupercalia! I personally want to design a sort of mini journal with all the things I've ever wanted to say. Split it up into sections about what the songs (new and old) mean to me/favourite lyrics etc with illustrations/photos etc Also as I live in Ireland I would like to provide something that HE would love along the lines of a WB Yeats poem or something as I know he'd appreciate that. ...And if I see one, a Wolf teddy like the one in my avatar Ooh I'm getting excited now, plus any excuse to get my stationary + craft box out |

Also if anybody is stuck for an idea and is, unlike me, capable of crochet/knitting. I know he's said he always wanted a Blondie scarf so that might be a nice thing to make ...or buy online even |

I'm in! And I like the idea of it being based around themes from the new album. I might have to wait until I hear any of it, but I like the idea a lot! ;D
(I got excited when I saw this because I thought "oh it must almost be june!" but then I remembered it is still technically March haha)

schizoeclectic - that sounds good also sounds like it will take a lot of effort, haha. My idea seems a bit lazy now I want to make a few things though so I will have to come up with some more ideas! I'm glad people seem to like the Lupercalia theme idea...that was the bit I wasn't sure people would agree with.

oh yes, lupercalia theme, totally <3 for untalented people like me it's easier to have a theme, you know, at least a bit of a guideline unless of course i decide to hate it by next week, but the chances for that are rather low. |

Are you gonna design the box as well? Yes I think so. I will have to see how much stuff there is going to be first though! If everyone is okay with me collecting the gifts, I'd probably set a deadline of a couple of weeks before Patrick's birthday. So I'd have enough time to put everything together and make it look nice |

^as long as it's a few days after the actual album release.. oh well that's gonna get tricky. and well, the album will not help me much anyway, so whatever: yes, sounds good ^.^
