Last year was a garbage fire of a year and we all thought this year would be better, but here we are! I saw a tweet some time ago that said "If I’d known the roaring 20s would be three weeks in June, I would have done more" and it spoke to me on such a DEEP level. LOL. This new normal sucks but it is what it is. Let's make the best of it, yeah?

As such, I wanted to take my cue from 's brilliant idea. I loved the idea when she first started it three years ago, and I still love the idea now ❤️. I love Luminaire. SO MUCH. I love finding empty trees and filling them with items, I love giving random gifts to folks, I love spoiling my friends, and I absolutely love the sense of GOOD that takes over the site this time of year.

This is my gift back to y'all. And a way for me to make the fire a little less full of garbage.

Cash Shop Credits can be hard to come by, and though there are ways to get them without spending real-life money, it can take a crazy-long time to save up enough sP to even pay for the slot price of some basic items. The Bathhouse is good for about 150 csc a month, but only if you keep your streak up every single day and don't ever miss.

This board is for those Subetans who need some extra help to get those items of their dreams.

What do you need to do? Just a couple things! I don't need you to jump through a bunch of hoops for this!

1. Post a list of at least 3 CW's or Cash Shop items that you've been pining after. Please use sCode for this as it makes it much easier for me to look for!
2. Rank them in order of priority. If the item is retired or not buyable in shops, be aware that although I will try to work some magic, it would be very helpful to include some other items that would be easier to get.
3. Ping me!
4. If your wish has been granted, please edit your post to reflect that. You can use the strikethrough text function ("s", in brackets, and "/s" in brackets surrounding the text) to single out any one particular item that has been gifted.
5. You are more than welcome to tell me why you want the specific items you're looking for, but it's not necessary. I will help everyone I can until Lumi is over!

Items of note

1. Please do not abuse this. I'm doing this on an honor-based system-- if you can afford your own items, please don't ask for me to help! We've run into very few unpleasant situations in the last 3 years (only one I can think of, honestly!) and I'd like to keep it that way :)
2. If you ask for CW items that are not available in shops, I will do my best to try to track them down for you, but I'm not a miracle worker, and I may not be able to find one. Give me some time though, and I'll see what I can do.
3. I normally don't start this until Lumi actually comes around, but I wanted to make it available early just in case folks have their eyes on Cash Shop items instead of CW's. That discount really helps me to gift as many people as I can, and unfortunately with not knowing what the scoop is for CW's later in December, I have to try to save where I can!

If you want to get involved

1. I have put a couple lots up in my trades for anyone who would be interested in donating either sp, csc, or items for me to sell in my shop to fund this project! I've been saving all year for this and have liquidated a loooot of sP into CSC in the last 3 months, so I'm hoping I'll have enough, but I will never turn down anyone who wants to help.
2. You're more than welcome to reach out to me directly via comments or sMail if you would like to gift items to participants! I would prefer folks not do the actual gifting without talking to me first (to prevent double-gifting of the same item), but I am happy to let others get involved if they want to-- I don't bite, so let's strike up a conversation!
3. Also, please PING PEOPLE! Ping groups, individuals, you name it. If you know anyone who might benefit from this board, I would love to have them directed here :)

Amazing Helpers: (if you don't see your name and you sent me something, I'm so sorry! It wasn't intentional. Please poke me via smail and I'll pop you right on here! I am planning something special for y'all, so I want to make sure you're all accounted for!) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Wishes yet to be granted:

As always, check out the amazing stuff is up to!

I would love to help in this ❤

I'll take a look on this and help others!

:D come check out this amazing lumi event that the lovley Cleo is running :)

thank you so much! It's always a struggle with the first few trades.. I've put up another one for you! offered on the one you offered on!

Trade Lot

Awesome to see you doing this again this year! I bought a bunch of things from your shop. :) Best of luck with this! <3

:3 dont worry hehe, offered! how is going all? ^^

thank you so much! That's amazing! <3

things are good here! We finally just finished the last of our Thanksgiving leftovers, so now it's officially time to move on to Christmas! Hoping to maybe put up decorations tomorrow or Wednesday. How about you?

Looks like it might be interesting. Thanks!

I have about 5k CSC, so I'm not likely to be making a wish, though I would like to help in the giving of gifts, if I could. Have also passed the word of your forum along to a couple others.

I'll help! If I see something I know I can gift, I'll let you know, .

If any of you are wanting to get something special for Lumi or can donate, here's a forum for you to look at!

I offered on one of the trades and I'm following this thread to see if there's any wishes I can grant <3 Would you like to be msged prior to something being gifted or are you just wanting to know who might be lurking?

thank you so much! I know it seems a little micro-managey, but I'd prefer to be messaged first. We've had a few times over the years where wires got crossed and multiples ended up being bought, so I think this way is just easiest. If I'm not going to be around for an extended period (there are 4 days mid-month where I won't be around), I'll let you guys do it on your own for sure though!

thank you! And thank you for the donation! <3

that's great! We have so many helpers and no wishes yet! LOL I appreciate you pointing folks in this direction!

Made an offer on a trade. I would like to help with the gifting where I can too! I will comment you first before gifting

Subscribed to thread :) I'm not the richest user on site by any means, but I've spent a long time here and have got a mini dragon hoard of nice items, so I'll see what I can do!

Because so many folks have donated, I'm pulling all CSC that is donated and putting it in my shop until we have wishes to grant (we have quite the war chest so far!!). I wish we could put CSC in our vaults! I want to make sure my own csc and donated csc stays separate!

thank you so much! <3 I appreciate your donation and the offer of help! You're amazing!

thank youuu! I love your HA btw! It's so beautiful and regal. wonderful use of the new gowns too!

wish would have to be item=Glowing Lamp of Brilliance Thank you so very much!! I will cherish it forever! That BG has always been my favorite HP release to date. Today was a tough day as I was forced to go to a larger office after working my shift, then working 3 more hours on top of a longer drive home so the surprise was quite heartwarming. 😊

2 would be Immigrated to Minnesota? All the feels.

would be Absolutely gorgeous! The only reason that I've placed this in the third slot is due to the expense and the fact that it is a wig. I already have quite a few wigs, they are my weakness, lol

hi... -waves sheepishly- I rarely manage to buy csc so i am always depending on saving up for it. Anyway...here's the little wishlist. 1: -gifted- THank you <3 2: 3:

Also I wish for more people to chat with. I'm not great with making friends though because I think you should make a wish too, see opening post <3

Sounds good, thank you for confirming <3 I will msg you then if I can fulfill a wish :D

Don't mind helping out will see if I can grant some wishes ^^

Nice Lumi gifts....please do not abuse this sweet option. ❤
