Isn't it weird..

I found this thread pretty interesting because it's exactly what my friends and I did when we were in eighth grade. None of us could afford clothes any of us would like, since our parents were still paying for our wardrobes then, so we all bought each other superficial junk. I'm kind of an obnoxious Mets fan, I danced when I was thirteen, and I used to listen to my Discman when I walked to school. The Christmas I was in eighth grade was right after the Mets made it to the playoffs, so there was a lot more Mets crap available in stores, and that Christmas, I remember getting horrible pajama shorts with pointe shoes printed on them (never mind that I was still taking lessons in flat shoes), a pleather CD caddy, and some horrible illegitimately-made Mets junk, including a Mr. Met bean bag that fell apart during the walk home. I deserved it, though, because, among other crappy presents, I bought my friend this candle in the shape of letters that spelled the word "dream" because she napped a lot.

Claudia would love ALL that stuff... the little donut charms, and the cupcakes... there's even a little toilet paper and poo earring set... wasn't that in a fanfic?!

On a side note... *gets out credit card* ...I'm going shopping. Sadly, the tofu earrings are sold out already... did you guys buy them all?!

xxandra, my friend Jenny has an etsy shop that reminds me of stuff Claudia would love, too. She makes earrings and barrettes and cufflinks and whatnot out of things like legos, Monopoly pieces, Scrabble tiles, that sort of thing. Ha, I can just imagine Claud making something out of Scrabble tiles but spelling it wrong!

And Janine wondering where all of the Scrabble tiles mysteriously disappeared to...

"For Janine's birthday, Claudia had fashioned a bracelet out of Scrabble tiles that spelled out the word "GENIUS." (Of course, she spelled it "JENYUS," but with Claudia, we've come to realize that it's the thought that counts.)"

Her stuff is SO cute, BTW... I'm definitely going to have to go shopping!

Wow, that stuff is adorable!! I love it!

And lol about the candle

Now that you mention it, I do tend to buy some things like that (for example, one of my friends is a huge hockey lover, and her favorite team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. So I bought her for her last Christmas present, among other things, a ML magnet for her fridge, ahah). But, I also bought her bath stuff to go with that

And LOL about:

I can definitely see it happening!
