My Christmas sucked. Not one person in my family got me a gift. I have all ways hated my birthday being so close to the holiday season every one is partyed out. Maybe someone can send a card I would really enjoy that! I do have a wish list on Amazon under Hotmamma but don't really expect anything off there. Thanks for reading. EDIT Jan. 7thh is the day.

Birthday is Jan. 7th and will be 50 something. All of my friends forget me every year I guess cuz its so close to the holidays. A few cards would be nice. I did this last year and got about 4-5 I hope I can get some again this year. Happy Holidays Reddit!!! I did make a wish list under Hotmamma.

my friend lives really far away from me and I have absolutly no money but I want to show her how much she means to me, this is specialy important because she´s kinda depressed and she told me she will be sad on her birthday and doesn´t want it to come, so i figure a suprise gift from her best friend (she knows is imposible for me to buy her a gift) would help with that. Her birthday is June 29, I would really appreciate if you could get me a amazon gift card, any amount from $15 will be awsome, here is the wish list that only contains a amazon gift card, thanks for reading!.

My son will be 12 and would love any cards or mail. He loves gaming,postcards,Legos,Yu-Gi-Oh he likes to going to the movies and plays clarinet in the school band. Since we have to get his school stuff in Aug. he always has a small b-day and feels like he gets ripped off.If anyone would like to brighten his day pm for info. Thanks Reddit!!!

Growing up in the 90s, TMNT was “for boys” — now I’m finally letting myself be a fan

I grew up in the 90s and was always a HUGE TMNT fan. I loved the Turtles, the movies, the cartoons, everything. But there was one problem: I was a girl.

My mom refused to buy me TMNT toys or merchandise because she considered them “boy stuff.” I remember wanting the toys and other TMNT things so badly, but it just wasn’t something I was allowed to have.

The only TMNT merchandise my family ever owned was the three original 90s movies on VHS. Those tapes became incredibly special to me. Decades later, I’m now in my 40s, and I still have those same VHS tapes. ❤️

And honestly… that’s pretty much all I have from my childhood.

For years, I didn't really think much about it. But recently, after rewatching TMNT 2012 and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, something clicked in me.

I realized that little girl who desperately wanted TMNT toys never really stopped loving the Turtles.

So now I want to start collecting TMNT memorabilia and finally give my inner child a little of what she missed out on.

Maybe it's silly to some people, but there’s something really emotional about finally being able to see a TMNT figure, shirt, comic, plushie, VHS/DVD, or other piece of memorabilia and say:

“I can have that now.” 🐢💚

And since I’m a December baby, my birthday is coming up later this year. 🎂🎄🐢

This year, all I really want for my birthday is TMNT stuff! 😂🐢🍕 Honestly, I think younger me would be absolutely thrilled.

So, if anyone happens to want to help me feed that childhood dream, I made birthday wishlists on Amazon and Walmart:

🎁 Amazon Wishlist:
My Amazon TMNT Birthday Wishlist

🎁 Walmart Wishlist:
My Walmart TMNT Birthday Wishlist

There’s absolutely no pressure or expectation. Even just reading this, sharing your own TMNT childhood story, or welcoming another longtime fan into the collecting community means a lot to me.

I’m in my 40s, so I know I’m a little late to the collecting game. 😂 But maybe it’s never too late to feed your inner child.

Those three VHS tapes will always be my original TMNT collection. ❤️

Now I’d love to see what this new chapter looks like.

If anyone else grew up loving TMNT but wasn't allowed to have the toys or merchandise because of the whole “that’s for boys” mentality, I’d genuinely love to hear your stories.

Maybe there are a few of us finally getting our chance to say:

“I’m a grown-up now. I can buy the dang Turtle toys.” 😂🐢💚

Cowabunga! 🍕🐢

In August 2011, I came to reddit looking for support when our 8 week old son was diagnosed with multiple suture craniosynostosis. His growth plates were fused from birth putting massive pressure on his brain. If he did not have the surgery, we would probably not have had this beautiful baby boy to celebrate his first birthday!

We scheduled the surgery to happen as soon as possible, when he was about 11.5 weeks old. We opted for the slightly more risky, longer recovery of a surgery because through research we found that the results of the full vs. endoscopic surgery were much better and he would not have to wear a skull shaping helmet for 2 years. The surgery we opted for would bring about immediate change in the shape and size of his head and the growth plate could shift into the proper place on their own.

I just want to say thank you again to r/assistance for all they did for us during this really difficult time. It was a huge relief to have the prayers and support when I felt like falling apart before, during and after the surgery. It was a pressure relief to be able to talk to people about it while it was happening.

Here are some pictures of his surgery and recovery

On June 9, 2012, Jerrick will be 1. we hadn't been sure if and how much damage the pressure had caused before his condition was caught, or if he'd live. I am ecstatic to tell you, he has reach EVERY milestone and surpassed them and has shown no signs of re-fusion or brain damage.

Here are some pictures of him from then until now!

We'll be having his party about 2 weeks after his birthday and are hoping to make it a big one!

I was wondering if ya'll might help us out with the gifts and preparations! Because of the nature of his condition, we have like 100 people (friends and a HUGE family) coming to his party, which is going to get expensive so we could use a hand with the supplies and whatnot.

I have made a wishlist if anyone is willing to help out! I am sure he would love to see TONS of cards and look back on them in the years to come and how many people supported him and his family through it!

Wishlist of Party Supplies and little gifts

Thank you all for everything...

Is it ok for me to have a midlife crises at 35? lol Ill be 35 on Nov 22nd and having a hard time excepting it. I thought 30 was bad! Oy, this is like 10xs as bad for me. Any ideas on how to help me get over it or help me get through this? I am trying to be positive but it is hard. I know others have gone through it as well, but they have tools to help them do things to keep them busy and celebrate it in style so they don't have to think about it. So any help, ideas, etc would be AWESOME! Thanks y'all!! =)

My partner and I started an Etsy shop selling really beautiful resin pieces we've been making to help fund our buying a van to do my dream 48 state road trip to many of the world's largest roadside attractions and national parks. It's my birthday month, and any help to make this dream of mine come true would be the best gift. Our etsy is etsy.com/shop/mayonacreations

Thank you <3

My birthday is on February 5th and I'll be 19! No one sends birthday cards anymore I guess people just don't care :( . I would love to get a card and maybe a small gift this year. Maybe if you are a good cook or baker you could make me something you love; that'd be pretty cool(the only thing I don't eat is pork). I love chocolates,and sex related products HAHA.

Anyways, thanks for reading this :)

EDIT: Here's my wishlist:

My baby girl is turning 1 on October 14th and would love some cards for her to show her later in life. Money is tight around here so I don't think we are doing anything big. She is my last little and 3rd little girl. Say hello to Sibella.

Here is a wish list just in case.

My daughter is turning 5 on April 21st - the day after Easter. She is getting some gifts so she doesn't need them - I just think she is amazing and would love for her to have the best birthday ever. Cards are awesome!

Her Wishlist

This is posted after having a discussion with a Mod (DecidedFate) over wether it was kosher or not. (He She agreed as long as I explained what's up truthfully, which is why there's a lot of extra text.)

I joined Random Acts of Amazon last month, near the beginning of it. My birthday was in the middle.... and so, following RAoA's Faq, I added myself to their Birthday Calendar via their form. Except they switched to a new system at some point, and I was never properly added. Whoops. I missed my birthday appearing on their calendar and didn't know until this month.

So I guess you can say I kinda feel 'cheated' out of a chance for possible Birthday gifting, whether or not I would had gotten random gifts or not. But, well, I'd never know until next year now, and RAoA doesn't allow you to post stuff like 'It's my Birthday!' - since there's a spreadsheet for that now.

So, it's still within a Month...technically (My birthday is February 18th), just after instead of before.

So, here's my main Wishlist. There's other lists on the left side.

Thanks for checking it out!

My birthday is Jan. 7th I'll be 53. No one sends cards anymore I guess people are busy. I would love to recive some on my day this year.I dont want to put up a wish list but small gifts would be ok. Like a good book you read and want to pass on,something you drew,maybe homemade treats. I love coffee,chocolate,and ent related products. Have a safe and happy holiday season!!!!

Hello! My boyfriend Danny's 28th Nameday (birthday) Is coming up and unfortunately we very little means to do anything to celebrate, which okay since we can entertain teach other pretty well:) But! I thought I would perhaps post here, and ask if anyone would be interested in sending him a card or anything small?

I was hoping if anyone sent a card they would sign it, or leave a small message for him..but in the style a character from Game of Thrones. That is his one biggest fandoms and obsessions. He has started collecting nearly everything related to the Show and Novels (Which really isn't much considering how situation)

Anyway, his Nameday is on May 28th Please PM if interested/questions Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

If anyone wants to send me a pizza or grubhub gift card or something so i can celebrate with something to eat, that would be amazing. (i paid my rent so i am broke until payday). Don't really have anything on my amazon wishlist.

So what did you do for the 12-31-2014?

Hi everybody. My sister has a birthday next week and after everything she's been thru in the last couple weeks I would love for her to get some cards and I can only give her so many lol. She left an abusive relationship with her children an came here a couple of weeks ago. She left all of her belongings in order to bring her kids things so I know she's really depressed over it right now so I think some cards might cheer her up. Just knowing someone cares would be important to her I think. If anyone wants to send a card just let me know and thank you so much!

I know my wish list is wonderfully exciting, with bottled water, toilet paper, and ibuprofen being some of the "highest priority" items. That's how I roll.

My wish is really to not have to worry about a few things for awhile - hence the household needs and food items. Of course, I did include some things that I definitely don't need, but would love to have. It wouldn't really be a birthday list without those, right? Haha! I'd encourage visitors to sort my list by priority though. I'd much rather have the tp and medications than the Simpsons DVDs.

What follows is what could be seen as a "sob story", but really I just want to provide some facts to excuse my super boring list, haha. Our situation could, and has been, much worse, so I'm not complaining, but I figured I'd explain why some of the items are more important than others.

We're living in a tiny, tiny house, that is pretty much a fancy shed (it's a 24'x16' shed that was insulated and had electricity and satellite internet hooked up to it - we are in the middle of nowhere South Carolina, satellite is the only internet option here, hah). Our only running water comes from a hose off the well, but the well water isn't drinkable due to the high iron and sulfur content - hence the bottled water. We don't have any closets or storage here - hence the closet organizing shelves. We're broke - hence the food and medications (I've got Fibro, arthritis, and a few other chronic illnesses that I'm supposed to be medicated for, but until we have some stable income coming in again, I'm doing the best I can with OTC medications - hence the huge bottles of Ibuprofen and Diphenhydramine. The cold weather + Fibro and arthritis are also the reasons for all the fingerless gloves, fuzzy socks, and such as well.)

So, you know, useful, practical birthday wishes... and a few extra, just because. ;)

Thanks for reading/checking it out!

hiii :) my 20th birthday is coming up on january 18th and it would be super swag if someone bought me even one thing off my wishlist. i'm not really expecting a lot of gifts for my birthday and i can't really buy much for myself since i'm a broke, college student, so it would be greatly appreciated <3

I just like to feel included. Random happy birthdays from strangers would be super awesome. I doubt if the amazon wishlist thing works, but just in case.

You are a swell bunch of people for doing what you do and making people who may not feel loved in the world feel good on their special day

Sue the bad ass nana of Reddit land just had a birthday on Feb 4 th, she thought no one would find out, LOL I did Happy Belated Bitrhday

No sob stories or anything. It just feels like it's been forever since I've been really surprised for my birthday. :) I'll be turning 24.

This is my default list, but I'm obviously okay with anything from any of my other lists.

APRIL BIRTHDAYS REPRESENT. <3
