^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 ^.^ Oh I didn't even think of that - I was assuming most people would have heard the live recordings. Okay, maybe not just a Lupercalia theme...maybe a more general theme of love & positivity? So it will fit in with the album, but gives everyone a little more freedom with their ideas? It's up to you I guess, I just feel that making gifts themed on, say, Battle or The Childcatcher would ruin the tone a little bit

So I don't really know what to do with this thread now...I guess I should leave it until the end of the week or so, just in case anyone wants to object to anything haha. Then I can start adding more info / planning things more?

Yep haha! I was reading over the thread from last year (which somehow bypassed me) and I do like the idea of taking a line each from Tristan but I don't want to drag up the debate of what overall gesture should we do.... I just think the ''Birthday Box'' idea makes sense, everyone can add whatever they like and if, in the mean time, anyone thinks of a more detailed theme or wants to go with Kayleigh's original idea then that's cool Maybe something like what I said earlier about connecting your gift to things Patrick loves i.e. Musicians/Food/Clothing etc I dunno ... just a suggestion. HOWEVER!! Just a quick mention that Kayleigh will most likely have to travel if she's to give the finished box to Patrick so maybe we should try not to provide items that are too big or too heavy?

This all sounds really good, I was just thinking after I saw him on tour that somebody should probably start this thread soon or we'd be late again. I'm in! I really like the whole idea of positivity as well as the birthday box again, and agree that we should be kind to Kayleigh with the things we send if possible.

Heyy, I'm in if it's okay! I'd love to finally give Patrick something in return since he's music has been so important to me. And I live for art so I might do a painting or something with mixed media.
Since I usually make huge things, I'd like to know what is the maximum size e.g. for a painting. :--D
Love and positivity, ayee? Does it have to have hearts and cute little bunnies and kittens? :--p Okay, well, I understand what you are going for and I like it since it would suit his style/mood/etc. Yup!

Yes, this is true! (This is also something I probably should have thought to post myself!.) Since I usually make huge things, I'd like to know what is the maximum size e.g. for a painting. :--D Love and positivity, ayee? Does it have to have hearts and cute little bunnies and kittens? :--p Okay, well, I understand what you are going for and I like it since it would suit his style/mood/etc. Yup! Hmmm, maybe A4 size? Is that big enough? & hey, you can have kittens if you want, Patrick obviously likes them seeing as he has an amazing jumper with them on My present was so rushed last year! This is a good idea. I'll probably sew something lol Maybe we should make him some sort of leaflet for that idea we came up with in Birmingham - you know the one I mean
I will edit a list of people who've said they're in into the first post

A4! Okay, I'll try to squeeze it. :--p Or then I'll be cunning and make a A3-sized piece but fold it in half! Woohoo!
A jumper with kittens? OhmygodIwantone.

I just feel that making gifts themed on, say, Battle or The Childcatcher would ruin the tone a little bit it would be interesting though you gotta admit especially between all the fluffy kitten stuff in the box ;D i'd be more than fine with the theme being a vague in between lupercalia and love* *although we should just have the theme "friday" but well, i guess your idea is great as well

I aim to do something; don't know what yet. He gives so much to me through his songs and presence, that I want to give him something in return.

Ok, I haven't logged on here in a long time. I'm confused....why are we calling patrick Rebecca? Why is this the Black board now? Why are we so "excited" about Rebecca Black? And I'm in for the gift box. I'm glad we're starting early so I'll definitely have time to make something. Out of curiousity, how many times have any of you sent him unicorn items or themed things?

I plan to put my name down for this every year, and never do, and then regret it a bit. So I'm in
