Help me Swiftmas

[YouBelongWithMe]

My middle child is Taylor Swift obsessed. Listens constantly. Plays her on piano and guitar constantly. Talks about her CONSTANTLY. It's a lot.

Anyway, I have managed to get two tickets for the Eras tour. She has no idea. She has thoroughly given up on the idea, and has seen me trying to get tickets enough to buy my ruse that it's been impossible.

Obviously the tickets are her main present, but I'd like her to have a couple of little bits to open so she's not left whilst her brother and sister have more to unwrap. (To be clear, this is my wish, she will be so overwhelmed that the tickets alone will send her into an overwhelmed spin for weeks. She wouldn't give a hoot if it was all she got, it's me that wants her to have little bits too).

One of my students suggested I do a 'Swiftmas', with all the little girls TS related in some way.

I've ordered a lovely pencil case from Etsy, but that's as far as I've managed.

Anyone got some.fab ideas I can take credit for? Not too expensive - the tickets were outrageous.

Are you going to see the tour film at the cinema in 2 weeks time?

No good for Christmas but...

How about some bits to make the friendship bracelets Swifties seem to exchange at concerts?

Friendship bracelet kit

And a fuck the patriarchy keyring 😁

How about a friendship bracelet kit to make bracelets ahead of the show to swap when you're there?

Maybe it could be a little 'clue' to her main present

She will LOVE this. I'm going to order now

I have paid for outrageous tickets for TS for dd to, I have picked up a few bits on etsy they have lovely posters/prints also lots of eras style jewellery. You could get her some coloured beads and letters to make the bracelets everyone must wear and swap when they see TS live.
Ebay/etsy are also good for reasonably priced TS shirts/vests and photo strips/coasters/badges.

I imagine you will have a very excited dd come xmas morning. I was pretty excited myself as I didn't think we stood a chance of tickets.

We are. I have no way of not, without spoiling the surprise. But I actually think she'd want to see it even if she knew about the ticket. Tbf I want to see it to hype myself up inside!

Are there any versions of CD's she's missing? Dd1 found The Christmas Collection (I think that's what it's called) on ebay for about £6 recently. & has 2, maybe three, versions of Midnights for the different bonus tracks. She might have two different versions of original (i.e. not TV) Speak Now too - one's deluxe, the other isn't, whichever album it is. Neither was overly expensive & is the only way to listen to not TV now in our house.

Cat plus toy "Meredith".

There are some nice dupes of the Midnights bracelet about maybe, and decent copies of the cardigans for significantly less £££ than on the TS store. Etsy have some nice stickers, bags for the concert & clothing.

If she's into makeup & you have a clue which era she might pick for her outfit, maybe some makeup in appropriate colours?

Top tip - prepare to buy more beads than you imagined possible. We have loads but they don't actually go that far if you're making them for the film too says the woman who manages one for every three her kids make 🤣

The tour hoodie? Or will she want to get it on the night? My DD knows we’re going but I’m getting her a bracelet making kit for Christmas.

Friendship bracelet kit for sure.

Would she want to dress up for the tour? So stick on gems, hair accessories in her favourite TS 'era'.

Red scarf if we getting Easter eggy!

1989 (Taylor's version) CD/Vinyl/Merch

The TS cardigans are beautiful but expensive, so not sure if you want to lay out that much after the tickets.

Eras tour merch/money to buy it at the venue

Interestingly, TS just copyrighted the word 'Swiftmas' so actual Swiftmas merch may be incoming!

Oh I have one of those girls.
Calendar, vinyls( we got her a record player last year), bracelets, a guitar…
We are going too.. June can’t come quickly enough.

Ooh also I was dragged to superdrug a few months ago for my 8yo (🙄) to choose the perfect Taylor Swift red lippie and came away with this revolution multipack https://www.revolutionbeauty.com/uk/en/makeup/lips/lip-sets/lipstick-collection-matte-reds/40253.html
