Suggestions? Like? Dislike? (G-Dragon)

By far the hardest person out of the whole group, honestly. Should we do rings? Should we do sunglasses? Should we do clothing? Should we do shoes?

@mizz_julie (via 21BANGS) sent me some shoe suggestions for G-Dragon. I narrowed it down to two different styles, but the final choice (meaning style and color) is totally up to you guys.

These are Hwang Kum Style high tops from YesStyle in black. They also have them in white, but I personally like the black better. They're $80.00 USD.

These are ISNOM Velcro High Tops, also from YesStyle. They have them in red, purple, white, and black, but I just chose one to put on the blog. They're $65.00 USD.

A lot of choices, I know. I personally like the first ones in black better, but this is a collective, group effort so we need everyone's opinion. And the only way to make sure we know everyone's choice is through a little poll! Check out both links above before making your choice!

Suggestions? Like? Dislike? (Seungri)

I am incredibly grateful that while I was going insane earlier trying to think of something for Seungri, omona did a post on him, revealing some intimate things about his life. Yes, there's the whole he-likes-Legos-now thing, and while that's a good idea, something else caught my attention. I think this would not only be a good gift for him, but also very thoughtful, as well.

He said he wants to get more into writing songs and be more involved in the music making process. That got my mind thinking that we should get him something to help with that. And I discovered this at Barnes and Noble online:

A place for him to write those lyrics in a leather journal. Total cost would be $34.95 USD.

I don't know why I'm really for this, I think maybe because it's sweet and it shows that we not only love him enough to get him a gift, but love him enough to get him a thoughtful gift. And if you're thinking, "I'm not sure ...," well then ... think of it like this ...

Say BIGBANG comes out with an amazing song. Like, a phenomenal, beautiful song. And it turns out that Seungri was the one who wrote it. And you know, he'll say that his awesome fans gave him a journal so he could write music in every day and night. Won't you feel amazing knowing that you're the cause of a huge hit?

Did I convince you? 

I mean, yes we could give him a shirt or something along those lines, something every other fan has given him. But it'd be cool to stand out a bit.

Suggestions? Like? Dislike? (Daesung)

There were a few suggestions to get Daesung something Doraemon related. This is what I have found:

They are $13.95 USD. This is not a final decision. Merely a suggestion. If you can come up with anything better, then by all means, send me the link or comment below!

But just so we're kind of all on the same page of the general IDEA of what to get each member.

Let me know!

Suggestions? Like? Dislike? (T.O.P)

So here will be the constantly changing post for all the things relating to T.O.P and the gift we will give him.

Those who commented on the main post and who emailed me suggested either getting rings or a pair of sunglasses for our smoldering Sex God. I figured I might as well check into the sunglasses option first before venturing into rings.

I have typed "unusual sunglasses," "unique sunglasses," and even "bizarre sunglasses" into the Google search engine so many times over the past twelve hours, it is ridiculous. Through one blogger I found an urban designer, Stevie Boi, and his line, SB Accessories. It was really tough trying to decide if we should give G-Dragon the glasses, as there are a lot of "GD-style" things in the online store.

But there were a few that I felt were meant for T.O.P to wear. I sent The Boyfriend my three picks and he chose this one. I really couldn't agree more:

They are $45 USD, not expensive in the slightest bit compared to some other ones.

THE SUNGLASSES ARE A FINAL DECISION!

Gifts For BIGBANG's Fourth Anniversary!

Yes, we are going to be giving BIGBANG some gifts for their fourth anniversary! What kind of gifts? Well ... there's four parts to that. Yes, four!

PART ONE - TKPA BOXERS

Okay, so it isn't really a "gift," more like a shamless whoring/promotion on my part. And really, as much as I'd freak out to no end knowing that G-Dragon is reading things I have posted about him, I think that their reactions would be absolutely priceless, and I also think that Taeyang would blush. And it is one of my professional goals to make that man blush.

They will be slightly different from the 2PM boxers, and I just designed Taeyang's. It isn't official, so suggestions are welcome. What do you think?

I will design the rest of them tomorrow. I'm definitely, definitely the most excited about this!

TOTAL COST: $105.44 USD
DEADLINE: July 10th. (This gives me plenty of time to order them, receive them, and then send them to South Korea).


PART TWO - EXTRA GIFTS

This is where input is greatly, greatly needed and appreciated! We are going to send each one of them an extra little gift. Why not just the boxers? Two reasons.

1. G-Dragon's birthday is August 18th, the day before BIGBANG's anniversary. Obviously, we need to send him a little birthday gift, right? I mean, what the hell kind of obsessive freak would I be if I overlooked G Baby's birthday?
2. I really, really, REALLY want to send Taeyang a hat. I know, I know, he's saying he wants to shy away from wearing hats so much, but see ... this one will be awesome and he will wear it. Why?

For one, it is TKPA colors, and who the hell doesn't love my colors, right? Two, I know that it is a blank hat, but I know of this place who does embroidery on hats like this. And I was thinking of having "YB" embroidered onto it in black. Do you know how awesome it will be if he wears that hat during a performance? Do you know how hard you will fangirl (or fanboy) when you see that, knowing that you participated in giving him that?

It is a little gift, not very expensive. The hat is $15.99 USD, and I am not yet sure of the embroidery cost, but I can't see it being any more than $20 USD, so we will just say that it will cost approximately $35 USD.

(Note: We don't have to give him a hat. I am open to suggestions. But it's a prime example of something "little" that I am talking about).

And since those are two pretty solid reasons as to why we will be giving more than one gift, I need loads of suggestions as to what to get G-Dragon, T.O.P, Daesung, and Seungri (and Tae, if you're against the hat idea or have something better in mind). Try to remember that people will be needing to donate money for all of this, so let's not have something TOO expensive (unless you're willing to fork over some funds to cover it). Also, remember that since it will be shipped to South Korea, nothing too heavy as that will kill me in shipping and also make it very difficult to deliver.

You can either leave comments below or email me at tkpa@live.com with suggestions!

EDIT 05/19: For T.O.P's gift, click here! For Seungri's gift idea, click here! For Daesung's gift idea, click here! For G-Dragon's gift idea, click here!

TOTAL COST: TBA
DEADLINE: TBA (I will announce both of these when we have all five gifts decided)


PART THREE - POSTCARDS

Yes, this has been done before, but so what? I think it will be cool for them to know (or be reminded of, actually, because they already know) that they have fans worldwide.

Postcards are the simplest (and extremely cheap) way to do that. They cost maybe like $0.85 at the grocery store? I mean, very, very cheap.

Some guidelines:

1. Try to ignore any postcards with "wish you were here" on them. Try to find ones that have either your city or state or country name on them or of something "scenic" (beach, river, aerial shot of city, whatever).
2. ALL MESSAGES MUST BE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. I will be looking for anything negative, so be nice! (I know I don't have to tell you guys that!)
3. Include your name, age, and country.
4. You may include your Twitter URL (so they can see how many people are on Twitter and maybe they'll get the hint). NO EMAIL ADDRESSES.
5. Limit to six (6) postcards per person. You can have one for each member and one as a group, or six to one member. However you want to make the combination, just as long as it is six! Make sure you have whoever the postcard is directed to on it somewhere.

Place the postcards in a small (6x9, for example) manilla envelope in which you'll send to me (postage is really cheap, honest). MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS BELOW! KEEP READING!

What I will do is take all of the ones for Seungri and put them together, all of the ones for T.O.P and put them together, and so on and so forth. It will be included as part of their "gifts."

DEADLINE: JULY 10TH


PART FOUR - BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR G-DRAGON

Again, we have to celebrate the glorious day in which Kwon Ji-Yong blessed the Earth with his presence. So you can send him some birthday cards!

Some guidelines:

1. They can be funny cards, cards with sounds, completely random cards. Whatever, as long as it's birthday themed. (Oh, and they can be handmade!)
2. The text inside the card and on the outside of the card may be in your native language.
3. HOWEVER ALL MESSAGES MUST BE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. Again, just to make sure nothing negative is being said.
4. Include your name, age, and country.
5. Please do NOT seal your cards in the envelopes! Leave them open! I will seal them for you! (So I can make sure the messages are in English, duh).
6. You may include your Twitter URL, but NO EMAIL ADDRESSES. And I have to say it, I just have to ... No phone numbers. Sorry, ladies!
7. Limit 2 cards.

Place in a manilla envelope. The size of it depends on the size of the cards.

DEADLINE: July 10th

Okay, if you're going to send postcards and birthday cards, then you absolutely must fill out this quick little form and email it to me at tkpa@live.com:

Name:

Twitter URL:

Age:

Country (include state if in U.S.):

Number of postcards:

Number of birthday cards:

If you email me that, it does two things. It tells me that you're going to be sending me something, and that I should expect it. If I don't receive it, then we have a problem. It also makes me email you back with my address (because as much as I love you all, I'm not going to post my address for everyone to see).

Okay, so email me or leave me comments suggesting what sort of gifts we will all collectively give to BIGBANG!

The link to donate is on the right sidebar at the very top! You can donate any amount! Obviously, the more the better for this, as some things might be a little expensive, but whatever you can give can add up! Tell your friends who are VIPs that are not avid blog stalkers (they ought to be!) to pitch in with whatever they can!

Let's show BIGBANG that we can have love for them, as well as dirty thoughts :)

And a big, big, big, big, BIG thanks to @aa_chan for agreeing to deliver everything for us! Tell him you love him :)
