Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays. @shelflove.bsky.social skillfully took it over and made it An Actual Thing! Like SRSLY!

If you are having a rough year and are worried you can't get gifts for the people in your life, you can sign up here and submit your wishlist. If you are someone who has a little bit extra and wants to give someone else joy? Find one & buy them something! shelflovepodcast.com/holiday-fair...
