lee_c00per Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was wondering how many people get little gifts for soem of the guests they are metting. As i MASSIVE A-team fan and being SO excited about meet the guys at C11 i can't wait, especially Dirk as 'The Face' was my favourite and i was thinking of getting him a Big Cigar as i know he likes them. Does it sound stupid or geeky to do something like this? Also what are the A-Team guys like to meet, will they happily do photos for you and chat if they have time?

Moderators DavidB Posted March 15, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well, some would argue the whole concept of these events is geeky but no, I know some of the guests really appreciate the effort that some fans go to, and the A-Team guys are usually really friendly and chatty so I can't imagine you'll have any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylover Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I give them money (usually around 15£) so they can buy the gift they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted March 15, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2007 I know guests that have kept their gifts, depending on what they are .. some food stuff (home made usually) just gets thrown away for safety reasons .. and some guests give sweets etc to kids or whatever! BUT I know of some more personal gifts that have been kept, and seen on DVDs during interviews and stuff like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowsparkle Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I gave Dirk a framed portrait tapestry a couple of years ago, which I made for him, and last time I saw him, he told me it was hanging in his house :dance: He's such a great guy!

Liessa Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 when I crew for events here (in Holland), and I get to PA for a guest, I usually bring them "stroopwafels", a kind of Dutch cookie. You can (just about) only get them over here (though I heard some English shops sell them nowadays), and most people really like them. But gifts? No, I'm the kind to do that. I have on one occassion given a photograph to a guest, but that was the only thing I ever gave (except for the cookies). Dwight and Dirk are awesome! They are sooooo friendly, and always try to give you some time and the feeling you're not fan #33254 they've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj wildfire Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 When i went to CM G-MEX i had some toys left over from when i went to see the wwe live (they were meant for Torrie and Candice but i never saw them) so i gave them to Bonnie Piesse and Julie Benz. If anyone does know what would be a suitable present for miss carpenter then i`d be really grateful for the information. Also like others have already said, Dirk and Dwight are great guys and Dwight especially is really great to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 It's not an easy thing to answer really. If you think about the statistics, if a guest sees 500 people a day and every 10th person gift, that's a lot of stuff and the fact is that they simply can't transport all of them home. It has been said before that a lot of stuff does get dumped, but if you want to give them something go ahead, try and keep it personal or original. If the guest keeps being given the same thing from lots of people they aren't likely to keep any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlempers Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Normally I don't bring anything along, but at Collectormania 10, Mark Lutz was asking us where our Dutch beer was, so I went to a store to get Dutch beer for him. He was very pleased with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialia Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Not unless they're really special to me personally by having influenced me in some way, like Nathan Fillion or Torri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I always assumed that gifts would be disposed of for security reasons so I've never bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I always assumed that gifts would be disposed of for security reasons so I've never bothered.

buffy2k Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 you should see the stuff James gets given really lovely silver chains and celtic stuff, letters, cards, clothing some people spend a lot of money - he must go home with box loads at all his cons, i know he does give a lot to the crew too and people he knows. I have given stuff to most of the buffy cast i have met before the girls i usually buy jewellery for or you can get great tshirts from Cafe Press with some of their quotes on which i love too. But food always good. Its my birthday on sunday so i will be giving the buffy guests some of my birthday cake if theres any left. nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
