What started with me texting a few of my friends for their thoughts on gift-giving has sprawled into the gift guide at the end of the world: 6000 (!!) words of gift ideas, product recs, nuggets of gift-based cultural criticism, and really, really good taste from writers, musicians, artists, actors, academics, poets, perfumers, and it-girls. ![]() writing can be very solitary work, which is both very good for me and at times very horrible, and suddenly it felt really wonderful and special and invigorating to think about making something fun in collaboration with some of the most exciting people i know. ![]() and then their ideas were so good that i texted even more people about gifts, and then even more. a week ago, we reached 70,000 subscribers, and i thought - community is the most beautiful thing in the world, i am sustained by love and maintained by all the lives that exist in conversation with mine, there is nothing to the world but people! and then i thought - i should text some of my friends about gifts. ![]() writing the gift guide always feels special to me, in part because the holidays make me automatically weepy (i’m just a girl, etc, etc) and in part because the process of writing about gifts for you always makes me think about what an incredible, life-changing gift Internet Princess has been for me (i know this is trite but sometimes i can’t help myself). It’s been a big year, and a big year calls for a big take on one of my favourite internet princess institutions: the annual gift guide.
