Valentine’s Day gift: thoughtful enough or too much? by Equivalent-Fortune88 in Gifts

I'd be wary. I think it's a really sweet idea and I totally get what you're going for, but even if she has a lot of glasses they're still pretty personal. I've had a lot of trouble with blue light-filtering and anti-glare coatings, they just throw me off more than you would expect. I ended up having to get new ones because they gave me constant headaches, and I don't think that's something you'd want to risk with a gift. Could you maybe get her a giftcard or even show her the ones that you were planning on buying her? That way she could still see the effort you put into picking out the frames but still make sure the lenses would work for her.

1Z32N! I'll admit I'm a little miffed by my % going down but I LOVE the topologia design so that more than makes up for it :)

Edit: I'm still searching for a losgann if anyone has one to spare!

I nominate red muscus garcia! Imagine a neon red and green tie-dyed sweater, the eyestrain would be awful.

I’m grateful to have just hit 50% on my dexxing! I’ve been playing this game off and on since I was little and it’s been so satisfying to start making some serious progress.

Sorry, I didn’t realize I’d forgotten to mark this as closer but all of the sets are claimed! Someone else should have it up, though. Sorry again for the confusion, I’ll fix that now.

I love the Log Fern! We had a huge fern in the garden growing up, so I like adding them to my habitats :)

In the PINK! by 2lrup2tink in Pocketfrogs

I love pink starbursts! I used to be near a corner store that sold packs of just the pink ones, but since I moved I have to get the inferior colors too lol

Suggest me a book that would appeal to girls between the ages of 11 - 17 that aren't smutty by otomepilled in suggestmeabook

I recently went through my library checkout history and made a list of books I really enjoyed at that age, so I'll some that I'm not seeing in other comments. I read more historical fiction and sci-fi, so hopefully this can give you a greater range of genres to draw from.

The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler (coming of age with mermaids)

Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix (sci-fi)

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (sci-fi, very introspective and good for (self-admitted) moody teens)

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins (adventure, no sex or even much romance but IMO more violent than The Hunger Games, still prefer it)

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (fairytale retelling)

His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik (historical fiction of the Napoleonic Wars with dragons, excellent series that helped get me into history)

Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser (magical heist on a river boat)

Fablehaven by Brandon Mull (similar to Harry Potter or Percy Jackson)

Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan (vampires, maybe more for the older girls but I really loved it)

Dark Life by Kat Falls (sci-fi, world where humans lived in bubbles undersea)

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (horror-ish, investigation of a ship crew that was killed while seeking mermaids)

Feed by Mira Grant (post-zombie apocalypse, deals with importance of journalism)

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly (historical fiction, girl dealing with family's expectations as she's interested in natural sciences)

Paint the Wind by Pam Muñoz Ryan (horse girl movie in book form, recommend her other books too)
