About Me

This may sound strange, but please do not send me anything X-mas themed. I'm actually Jewish and participating in some "stocking stuffers" to get Chanukah gifts. You do not need to send me anything specifically Jewish, just also nothing Xmas. Message me if you have any questions. Thanks for understanding!

I am a Xenniel single mom in an 2/3 neurodivergent household. I live in U.S. about 2 hours from Niagara Falls. Stickers got me into swapping but below is a list of other items I like.

B... berries, beads, blue, beaches, babies, Boston MA, books
C... clouds, contemporary art, crocheting, cross-stitch, collaging, choral singing, clouds, chocolate
D... dragons, dreams, drawing, donuts, daffodils, dystopian fiction
E... eggs, earrings
F... fruit, fake flowers, feminism
G... geeks, giraffes, Good Omens, Game Changer, gum
H... hammocks, hugs, Hebrew, herbal tea
I... ice cream, icicles
J... journaling, John Oliver, John Williams
K... karaoke, keys, kayaks
L... licorice tea, language, laughter, long hair
M... mixed media, museums, musicals, Maplewood NJ, mornings, mint tea, mail
N... novels, nonfiction, November, napping

Favorite Books

I've always been a huge reader. Here are some of the genres I particularly enjoy.

Realistic fiction with good characters and it doesn't center on someone dying: Olive Kitteridge, Three Junes, The Bean Trees.

Fantasy involving women and dragons.

Short stories by Ted Chiang..

Nonfiction about how we communicate and build community, and what interferes with those.

Favorite Musicals

I saw Cats for the first time when I was 12. My tastes still reflect the shows of my childhood (both stage and film): Cats, Les Mis, Phantom, Guys and Dolls, Music Man, Bye Bye Birdie, Thoroughly Modern Millie, 1776, Oklahoma, The King and I, Rent (okay, that was in college).

It's hard for me to start listening to new ones but I have seen Six: The Musical twice. I've had Wicked and others recommended to me but I haven't listened to them yet.

Things I DISlike

Please don't send me images of:

  • skulls, death, horror, gore, blood, poop, weapons, injuries (because I'm squeamish)

  • Xmas, Easter, crosses (because I'm Jewish)

  • Star Wars (because it reminds me of an ex)

Crafts I enjoy

  • Stickers
  • Crocheting
  • Sketching
  • Cross-stitch
  • Polymer clay
  • Beads

Favorite types of stickers

  • clear backgrounds

  • meme templates

  • movie images

  • pictures rather than words

  • little realistic everyday items (dime-size or smaller)

  • flat, not puffy

  • seasons but not holidays

Items I'd be happy to receive

  • Stickers
  • Washi tape
  • Postcards of pieces of art, waterfalls, rainbows
  • Cute or funny notepaper
  • Post-it notes
  • Bookmarks
  • Address labels (I'd be psyched if someone printed some up for me!)
  • Herbal tea
  • Unused postage stamps
  • Used postage stamps that match one of my specific interests such as dragons
  • Temporary tattoos
  • Cartoons from magazines/newspapers
  • Pages from desk calendars
  • Interesting words or pictures cut from magazines

Comment: Hi Melissa! Oh my goodness, your pizza box gave me such a good laugh - at first I thought someone had delivered pizza to the wrong place!! :-D Hehehe. I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful gifts...I felt like I was opening presents from a friend who knows me really well (heart). You brought so many smiles to my face. Thank you so much for the thought you put into my swap and the amazing gifts, xo!
Response: Hi Leslie, I had *so* much fun putting this swap together. Finding a food box that would hold everything was part of the excitement (you almost got an Uncrustables package but I needed more space). I'm really glad you enjoyed opening it as much as I did assembling it. -Melissa

Comment: Hi Melissa: thanks for the cute envelope, stickers and postcards! Question: my address and name were not on the envelope...how did I get it???? Aloha, Sharon
Response: Sharon, that is so weird - I definitely addressed your envelope. I might have put your address on a label so perhaps it fell off right as the mail was going into your mailbox. What a mystery! Glad you enjoyed the items!
