Dear Santa,
I am very much an indecisive person and I like to be surprised. I can however guide you a bit :
- I like to read all kinds of good books/mangas. Litterally... there's quantum physics, fantasy, fantastic novels, paranormal/gothic litterature, thrillers, and even a biiiit of (fantasy) romance.
Sidenote : If you want to try a good and quick read I recommend The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu and Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli. Two very different topics; the first introduced me to Malzieu and I think it's one of my favourite authors now (I do already own a lot of his work -- I think --); the second is about how quantum physics came to be and boy I loved it. You can see I like reading but don't have that many people to talk to about it :))
- I enjoy making "physical" art a lot. I'm talking about crochet, cross-stitching, linocut, clay sculpting, painting on everything but a canvas, anything I can get my hands on really and I have been gifted a lot of things I still have to try. I would however like to knit and while it might not be much to wish for, I do not have knitting needles or whatever you need for that ahah And don't worry, if you gift me this, I will be sure to make you something nice and cosy !
- You probably already know that I like boardgames by now, Tony and I have quite the collection now but it is a safe gift choice ! I personally like coop games and cute/simpler ones. I wouldn't mind trying a bit of complexity though. Just one thing to avoid... I hate games where someone has to be the hidden bad guy simply because I am the worst loser when it comes to that and WILL be mad either way :))
- If those don't inspire you, I am also a chemist, dancer, duck lover and slight gamer who enjoys to cook for everybody, listen to rock/metal and do jigsaw puzzles.
- Lastly, here's an idea of a straight-forward gift idea from an artist I like that I would enjoy : https://www.amazon.com/Imaginary-Realms-2026-Day-Calendar/dp/1524899364/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/135-4761853-6558352?psc=1
Phew, that was a lot !! Just know that I tried to dump everything I could so that you do not feel lost but I will truly appreciate everything that comes from the heart, anything that made you think of me or made for me yourself <3
See you soon and let the gift hunting begin,
Dari
