I have these two pairs of earrings. I think I wore the pencils once, but the other pair has never been worn.
Regardless, I will sanitize to both pairs prior to sending! Unfortunately I don't know what the metal is, so if you're sensitive to certain metals then please keep that in mind.
The card that I have them on is not the original.

The good news, just got a job after a really rough patch! I start in two weeks. I've been lucky and was able to scrape by money for the mandatory uniform, but it did end up being much more than I expected, and I'm kind of in a tight spot until I get paid. I'm hoping for help with a few final small items that'll set me up for work. Everything is appreciated, and I'll be sure to pass on the goodwill once I'm able!

Good Afternoon RK! I'm a mod from r/RandomActsOfChristmas, a sub similar to this one that focuses on making Christmas happen for families that might not otherwise have one. I'm posting here with permission from the mods, since I think our subs may have a lot of overlap.
What to know:
If you have any questions, I would love to answer them. But please come over and check us out!
This time of the year can be tough and I’m fortunate enough to pass along kindness shown to me.
In order to be considered, please post your Amazon wishlist of up to $100 in groceries. In addition please include one small item, for fun, for you - we often neglect ourselves and our needs. It can be anything you want up to $25.
Thank you all for being an amazing community.
Whether you are boycotting pink tax products, you want to be more sustainable or just trying to avoid toxic shock syndrome, I make cloth pads.
They all have a waterproof backing so they are also usable for mild urinary incontinence.
I have 20 available and can ship all over the world.
My dear aunt Masha has down's syndrome and every year, months before her birthday, she excitedly tells everyone she can that her birthday is December 1st. whenever she would meet people, she would tell them, ‘My birthday is December 1st” And she would ask them to send a card. Masha likes to get mail and gifts, just like—but even more—than everyone else.
She is turning 55 years old but has the heart of a 12 year old. This is the twelfth year that I am posting online for her birthday. The last year she got quite a few cards and was so happy to run to her mailbox everyday. She was THRILLED! So beautiful people of the world -- can we do this again??
She lives in a kibbutz in Israel for adults with disabilities. It would mean the world to her to get birthday cards for her 54th birthday :) Masha only reads English, but any language will be fun and exciting. She is a fan of Hello Kitty, Pokemon, Tamagotchi, any Disney characters and loves animals too! But really anything would do.
If you are interested in sending a card, please comment and I will message you MY address.
Thank you all in advance for this act of kindness!
Thank you to everyone that sent and shared my post requesting birthday cards for my dear aunt Masha's birthday last year You all made her day so special! Every day, Masha would excitingly run to her mailbox to get her cards, she would then FaceTime me and show me the new cards she got that day. This is the 12th year that I organized this for her. Masha received over 200 cards last year. The coolest part is that Masha waits until Dec. 1 to open them all.
So thank you again to everyone that was involved. May we all be blessed to do something simple for our fellow humans. Thank you again!

Hey everyone,
I teach 11th grade ELA at an urban public school, and I'm trying to not only build the classroom library but also acquire books for whole class texts. Any support would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the link to the wishlist. I've tried to put book club or whole class texts at the top, and otherwise it's not sorted, but there's plenty to choose from!
I have just made a request for assistance so that I can help my Dad with his ancestory. I don't have a lot to offer anyone, but I am here if anyone needs someone to talk to. I have a good ear and give great advice. If you need anything, please reach out.
I have a whole bunch of these paper coffee cups. They very in color and in size somewhat. They all unfold and are blank inside.
Could anybody use a few? I don't know how many people will be interested but I'd be happy to send a few to lets say up to 10 people. (US only)
Picture for example: https://imgur.com/a/c4CXkGJ
Hey!
I make graphic designs all day every day because I really enjoy it.
I want to help some people starting a project who can't afford to hire a graphic designer but would like quality work.
I've made graphic designs for many years as a freelancer for all kinds of things.
Maybe you need a thumbnail designer, someone to make your menu, design an album cover, and other creative type things.
This offer will be closed when I make an agreement with 5 people.
Please leave a comment if you're interested!

My Dad has late stage alzheimers and is currently in the hospital. We are moving him into long term care in the next few days. He has always loved cards, drawings, photography. We are trying to cover the walls of his new room with all the happiness so he feels at home but we can't do it alone. That's where you come in.
If you are willing please send any pictures or drawings, cards, or anything else we can hang on his wall to make him feel more at home and less alone. Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much everyone for your kindness! You have made this awful period in our lives so much nicer.
Post a wishlist that includes the book you want. Do not post wishlists with any items our subreddit doesn't allow.
Hello I need to clear some space, and have some pens and velvet ribbons to give. If you’re a crafter or love to bullet journal and draw. I would love to give this to you!
The pens are relatively old. So it may take a few lines and shakes to get the pens working. The velvet ribbons have never been used and still in their original packaging.
I also may add some other stationery or craft goodies.
Location: Sending to those in US only! I will ship out the items to you with USPS, the recipient will get a tracking number.
Edit: claimed
Hello,
I’m offering free web design services for anyone who could benefit from a professional-looking website but might not have the budget for it. Whether you're starting a small business, need a personal portfolio, or require a simple blog or landing page, I’d love to help.
What I’m Offering:
I genuinely love designing and building websites - it’s a passion of mine and something I find fun. Web design gives me a chance to be creative and tackle new challenges, so I’m always looking for interesting projects to work on. I also believe in giving back, and this is a skill I’m happy to share with others. If you’ve been thinking about creating a website but don’t know where to start, this is the perfect opportunity!
Simply comment with a brief description of your project or website idea. I’ll be selecting a few individuals to work with, depending on the scope of the projects.
I look forward to hearing your ideas and helping you bring your vision to life!
All the best,
ExodiusUK
My favorite source for kid and baby clothes is Winter Water Factory. They have amazing patterns and manufacture their clothes locally (in Brooklyn, from cloth made in LA). When I had a shipping issue (ordered to the wrong address) one of the owners got back to me right away.
Their stuff is expensive, so $100 is only enough for 2 - 3 pieces, but they are very durable and excellent for hand-me-downs. (And note that I'm not affiliated with them; I just want to support a wholesome business and give kids some nice clothes.)
Enter by telling me your favorite print, and I'll pick a winner or two in a few days.
Up until now, we've never had any guidelines on how long an [Offer] may remain open. Usually they get claimed relatively quickly as most are limited one way or another.
But for things like offers of services where the only limits are the time and efforts of the donor, we'd like to make sure not to overburden them when they haven't specified the ending of the offer. Otherwise donors can bite off more than they can chew.
Therefore, we are establishing the following guideline:
Offer may be posted for two weeks, by default.
If the offer has not been concluded, we will close it at that time.
Donors, it is in your best interest to set limits on your offers. Some examples:
Limit your offer to a number of people.
[Offer] Resume assistance for the first five people
Limit based on time.
[Offer] Today Only, I'll write a poem about someone you love!
And finally, donors, you should set expectations on when you'll be able to complete your offers.
Don't leave people hanging!
Hi there, I'd like to get a few people groceries and essentials from Amazon. Please leave your wishlist and I'll try to get as much as I can!
Amazon only since I've had issues in the past with proper delivery from other websites. Please no DMs unless I reach out to you!
Hello folks! I recently finally managed to find a group of people with whom to play Pathfinder (I put D&D on the title because it's more easily recognizable)
They are currently lending me dice but i wanted to have my own! Why i'm asking for them? I'd like to have different kinds of dice, sizes, shapes, colors, etc. It'd also feel special having dice from around the globe.
So if you have any random old die, or too many dice in your collection and wouldnt mind parting ways with one of them, mailing them in an envelope all the way to Argentina, i'll make sure to give it a welcoming home!

Hi everyone! I just found out recently that I’ve been assigned to teach 3rd grade this fall and I’m beyond excited!
However, money is tight right now for me, and I want to buy some supplies for my classroom that aren’t available with the standard funding from our school. I’m planning on creating a “book nook” where students can sit and read books. I’ve made an Amazon wish list with the items I’d like (cushioned seating, some shelves to put books on, a couple decorative things to bring the corner together and give it a cozy feel.)
I’d be super appreciative if anyone would be willing to help me out. TIA!

My amazing grandmother is turning 100 in July, and I am trying to collect video messages, artwork, birthday wishes, and any other glad tidings people are willing to send her way! My goal is to collect 100 wishes for her 100th birthday, and I've created an email address where folks can send things: BirthdayGram100@gmail.com
She has lived a remarkable life; a French farmgirl from near Normandy, she came to the US as a war bride after WW2, and ran a diner off the Pennsylvania Turnpike for many years slinging chili and pie she made from scratch. She was an avid gardener, and her house was on a local garden tour for several years. And something she was really proud of was her 20+ years of work as a crossing guard at the local elementary school where she was universally known as "Grandma" and beloved for giving great hugs, always handing out Halloween candy, and listening to anything and everything the kids wanted to share with her.
So please help me celebrate the world's greatest grandmother! My plan is to turn the messages I receive into a video she can watch again and again (maybe also a photo book), and I know it will bring her great joy!
Tldr: Please send videos, art, emails, etc. to wish my grandmother a happy 100th birthday at BirthdayGram100@gmail.com
Background
My brother, Amit, committed suicide in March 2018. In the 18 months prior to his death, he struggled financially, and I spent a lot of time supporting him. This meant rent, bills, food, all of it, and helped him try to get a job. I eventually convinced him to come back home and flew him back (LA to Ireland), and helped him get established, while also paying for a roof over his head. However, it was too much.
He appreciated what we did for him but he decided to end his life and was planning it for some time, despite the support my mum and I provided him. He had a little puppy too that he left behind, Darling, who is now living with her grandmother, i.e. my mum :)
Amit is an artist, poet and philosopher. He is a beautiful person who lived life on his own terms. He is an established artist with successful exhibitions behind him, published poet, and has a Masters in Philosophy with a focus on Nietzsche. Sometimes people have difficult times, or a bad few months and need to be dug out, without prejudice.
Why now?
Amit is turning 41 on Tuesday. I remember celebrating his 30th with him. I wish so much that he could be here to celebrate this together but life doesn't work that way. It's scary what happens with time. I'd like to help some people along the way and make sure they don't struggle as much as he did. There is ALWAYS an answer.
But why?
People have a bad few months, weeks, days. It happens. And too often, people don't reach out for help, or at least those that need it. I want to offer help to those and for them to know there is no prejudice at all.
Problems can range from shortage of cash for rent, food, pet food, personal traumas, clothes. You know, the biggest problem of all - is having an ear to listen to your problems. Do you need a friendly voice to listen and chat to you? Loneliness? That's a problem.
There is no problem, too big or small, that cannot be fixed. With sheer determination and willingness, we can all attempt to overcome our personal circumstances.
I want to do whatever I can to help YOU and hopefully my help will ease the burden you're currently dealing with.
I don't need anything but I want to talk
And I want to be your friend, and I'm sure a lot of people on this sub want to be your friend too! I use discord / whatsapp / hangouts / skype and reddit chat. You are NOT alone.
What I want to offer
I never provide cash, ever. However, I can provide the following:
What now?
Post a comment. Do not DM / PM me directly until requested. I won't acknowledge or help anyone who does that. I will try to help as many people as I can over the 5 days so please post away :)
I will fulfil after 12-24 hours as the mods will be vetting the comments. I will run this offer for 5 days (or so).
Thank you so much u/pure_picture7321 for the anti anxiety colouring book for my birthday. I went through it and it looks and feels so calming, I really appreciate it.
