Edit 6/30: My giveaway is now over, thank you so much to everyone who participated ❤
Hi and welcome to my 2019 Birthday Bash 💝
I try to hold a site giveaway every year on my anniversary and my birthdays- the last few times I've dealt with anxiety/depression or just sickness and hadn't been able to hold my giveaways on those days- [I]so this year I decided to be smart and kick-start this early[/I] 🎁
My actual birthday is June 11, and I will turn 26 this year 🍰
Some Background on why this is important to me
I haven't had a birthday party since I was 10- I try not to get my own expectations up for my birthdays anymore for a variety of reasons
Besides, I find surprise and random gifts without explicit reason to be much more special
As a result, I always try to hold giveaways where I encouraged users to give random Anon gifts to users around the site in the hopes it will bring smiles and warm feels to others
The past couple of days I've been struggling with extreme feelings of isolation and loneliness, compacted by my anxiety- while I know there are so many people who I can talk to on this site, that doesn't help when my mind doesn't always remember that 🎈
[I]Because of the feeling of being isolated, I've decided to change up my usual giveaway style this time[/I] 🎉
This Year's Giveaway: 1: This year I want participants to find a new users on this site, or someone you know is shy or doesn't have many friends 2: Reach out to them, give them a gift, offer friendship or someone to talk to, just get to know them 3: Let me know who you reached out to, let them know about this thread- they are entitled to a gift as well 4: Both you and the person you reached out to can pick either a June Collection item of your choice from any year or an item from either of my two shops
❤
I know there is a chance multiple people will reach out to the same person, and that's totally fine! But participants, and the person they reach out to will each only receive one gift
At this time, if you were reached out to someone first and requested your item and decided you want to continue participating by reaching out to someone else, I will keep your name in a separate pool- I want to be able to give you a second gift, but I may not have the resources right away
❤
[I]If you are shy and don't want to find a stranger to reach out to[/I]: I would really rather not have you skip participating because of that- I strongly encourage you to take that step out of your comfort zone to do so, but if you really don't feel comfortable doing so, please just let me know and instead send 2-3 random users Anon gifts
Please don't be shy, and let me know if you have any questions!
I will run this Giveaway until June 25 🎁 This will give me enough time to catch up on June Collection requests before July ;)
Full Disclosure
- I have recently moved far away, solo, from my previous home. I've just started a new job, but went about a month without any income
- I will be as active and immediate in my responses as I can be, but it may not be immediate
- Because it's been a little while since I've had income, if there is a lot of participation on this thread I may need to wait a paycheck or two if I need to purchase CSC to get your June Collection item of choice
- I currently have some CSC, but when that runs low I will need to wait until the next CSC Bonus Weekend to replenish
- But I would be thrilled if there was so much interest I would need to figure out how I would get everyone their prizes
-[I]I am still trying to earn the Richest User Achievement, so I would rather spend CSC than sP
- At the end of the month (6/26 to 6/30) I will be moving someone else into a house, my time to be on this site may disappear- but I will do everything I possibly can to make sure any June Collection items get out before the end of the month
I would love nothing more than if there is more participation than I know how to handle! 🎉
[I]I'm sorry, I know there is a lot of text![/I] 💝
My Shops: Alycya's Boutique- items usually priced anywhere over 1.5mill Alycya's Galleria- items usually priced under 1.5mill
[I]In real life I usually don't really talk about my birthday or anything I want- years of being disappointed while growing up means I can't talk about it with out crying and going into an anxiety attack This site, specifically this thread, is the only time and only way I really acknowledge or talk about my birthday[/I]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
If you ever want someone to talk, gush, or rant to, please reach out! I know anxiety is really tough, so please, come to me! I won't judge you for anything, even if you comment me with literally incoherent sentences XD I'm more than happy to listen to whatever :) (And also, I haven't had a birthday party since I was 10 either - no friends and social anxiety, yay!)
has been here for about 2 months. I first met them on the Shoutbox, and since then have been trying to help them out with the site and figuring out the holidays and such. It's been nice getting to know them, and even though they're young, they're pretty respectful and cool to talk to :)
I would love a from the June 2015 Collection if possible, please.
Happy almost birthday!!!!! I turn 27 on the 9th, so woooo! I just wanted to say that I am in a similar boat.
My anxiety and depression kind of lead to a self-imposed isolation from the “well, I won’t hang out with you FIRST” kind of deal and other fun factors. I’m in a better place, but I’m still trying to figure out how to reconnect with people. So from my boat to yours, I hope you have a great birthday and year!
I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I get that all consuming loneliness, I have a whole host of MH disorders and don't really have any friends because I isolate myself so much. I don't know anyone on the site to reach out to because I don't interact. I post on the SB once in a blue moon but honestly I just get scared of trying to make friends. I'm 33 and my best friend is my husband well except for who is a long way away from me. We met on Neopets and she's been through a ton of rubbish with me she's the best person I know but I'm even scared of talking to her right now.
Jesus this wasn't meant to be therapy! Anyway Happy Birthday lovely, have a wonderful time and enjoy yourself. ❤

Happy Birthday :) Thank you for setting up this giveaway. As a new user, it was really nice to be reached out to out of the blue (thanks ), and it makes me more excited to get involved with the community in general. I hope that your mental health improves, or that if it doesn't, that you can remember there are people out there that you can turn to for support!
Could I get a Farm Stand Playset from this year's collection (Haha sorry, I don't know how to make it look like an item >.<) ? Thanks again :D
: I have reached out to and s3nd them a gift ^_^
Your story touched me as I myself have been avoiding reaching out to people in real life because of anxiety, etc. I am still blessed do have a supportive family and husband. (and friens too, but yeah reaching out is hard sometimes) I am glad I made some great friends here over the last few years.
I would like the or anything..or even nothing ^_^ just hope you will have a great birthday!

Thank you so much for those that have sent Anon gifts to me, I can’t tell you how touched I was by them
