Sometimes giving is better than Receiving
If you’ve ever read my blog before you’ll know I’m always up for a good meme, so when I saw this posted by both Essin-em & Dangerous Lilly I just knew I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and post my own list whilst also trying to grant as many wishes as I could for others. I do truly believe that giving is better than receiving so if you also have a wishlist please comment with the url so I can add it to this post and try to grant at least one of your wishes too.
How it works
For others who wish to participate Here’s the cut and paste courtesy of Essin-em:
Step One
– Make a post to your blog, Tumblr, facebook, myspace, what have you. The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want and that people can see the post.
– If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just an email address at which you can be contacted by potential wish-grantors, real or imaginary.
– Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your post, so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
– Surf around your friends list/blogroll/RSS feeds to see who has posted their list.
– If you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. Sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want, or a gift certificate you won’t use–or even know where you could get someone’s dream purebred Basset Hound for free–do it.
You needn’t spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not–it’s your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just…wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.
Thank you First
I’d really like to thank every single person who has made a purchase via my blog. It is because of you that my son will wake up to the PS3 he’s been asking for. Since July I’ve had barely any income and honestly without that commission cheque I wouldn’t have been able to buy him anything for Christmas. Now I can at least go halves with X to get him what he wants. After 13 years of getting everything on his list plus more I was so scared he’d wake up to nothing, I’m so appreciative that thank you doesn’t seem enough❣
My Holiday Wishlist
[edit| Nov 24th] I just want to preface this by saying that I do live in Australia and understand that this makes it very expensive for most bloggers within our little community to send items here, but I’ve included a few no cost items that I’d love that don’t need to be posted. ★ hugs to everyone for their amazing generosity★
- A digital camera – the one material thing I really really want above anything else. New or used, it doesn’t matter as long as it works! I had such great fun participating in both Sapio Sluts Scavenger Hunt and Wanton Wednesday before my camera got killed, and I would like to be able to take part again.
- A cool illustrator style button or banner for my blog that others can add to their sidebar to link to me, despite the fact I use photoshop everyday all my attempts with illustrator/vectors have been a complete failure
- Links to my blog from your blogroll, Tumblr or sidebar etc
- Erotica – If you write erotica I’d absolutely love for you to write a guest post for my blog
- Any other form of sexy guest post you might like to write for my blog
- Any episodes of the tv show ‘The United states of Tara’ – I somehow managed to miss the end of the first series after falling in love with it. I also love almost every single reality show ever created so If you have any that need a new home or you wish to share you can email me :violet [at] screaming-violet.com
- Any products for review from Australian companies – My new years resolution will be to convince at least one Aussie company that having products reviewed is good for their business and online presence
- A liberator throw – I can dream!
- Stripey socks or stockings – I love them so very very much
- Books related to sexuality – I have so many toys but not enough books
- Red Door Perfume, Make up & other girly stuff
- I tunes gift cards (for my boy)
- If you have a blog and are interested in reviewing sex toys or joining any of the affiliate programs send me an email & I’ll send you the info & links for you to sign up under me (it’s a win-win kinda deal)
- And finally I’d like a new B!
If you have any of these things to give, or questions etc you can comment here or email me at violet [at] screaming-violet.com
And If you are thinking of buying something sexy for someone you love you can also give to me by using one of these links to do so.
And for the USA -> Babeland.com | GoodVibes.com
The Giving
Personally I want to give more than I receive. If you have a list I’d love to know about it so I can add it to this list of links and so that I can try and grant you at least one of your wishes. What comes around goes around.
★Also to anyone who’s after a new header for their blogs I’d be more than happy to help you out to the best of my ability – just email me with your url & what you are looking for in a new header and I’ll let you know what I can do for you.

Dangerous Lilly says
I can help with the United States of Tara eps! I can upload them to my domain and give you the links. Which eps exactly are you missing? I heart that show. What I don’t love is that these Premium Cable Channel shows are so fucking awesome but then have half the episodes of a regular show per season. I want more!!!
Screaming Violet says
As always – you rock! It’s the last couple from season 1. I’ll do a search for an episode guide & let you know which ones I missed.
The first few were available from the Austar Site (the pay tv/ cable company that covers my area) but they don’t have the ones I missed when the mystar box (like tivo I think!) screwed up and didnt record them. So very very frustrating
Dusk says
I’ve put my wishlist up at http://duskinchains.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/holiday-wishlist-2010/ . By the way, do you have the Good Vibrations Guide to Sex yet?
Screaming Violet says
Added you, No I think I only own 4 or 5 books related to sex and that isn’t one of them.
Dusk says
Looks like I may need to be getting that for you then. Can you email me your address?
Screaming Violet says
You are so very sweet, will email you and find out about postage to Australia, hopefully it won’t be too ridiculous
True Pleasures says
Just put the link to your link on my wishlist: http://truepleasures.blogspot.com/2010/11/holiday-givinggetting-wishlist-2010.html
I have some girly stuff (IE Bath & Body Works body sprays, Oil of Olay shower gels, etc that I haven’t used/only used slightly and don’t want.). Would you want any of that?
Screaming Violet says
I would, will send you an email & try to work out if shipping will or won’t make it impossible to do
Kayla says
I’m wondering how shipping is from here to Austrailia. (Yeah, I’m other-country-than-US stupid.)
I have a list up now: http://kinky-world.net/?p=4024
Screaming Violet says
Added your link and will send you an email shortly
Shanna Katz says
Want to review for Fascinations? Shoot me an email at shanna@fascinations.net! I’d love to have you on board.
Screaming Violet says
Email on its way, just not sure if they will want to ship all the way down under
Nicky says
I have you on my links page. I’d love to get more info on reviewing sex toys for companies I’m not already affiliated with, which is EdenFantasys, GoodVibes, Babeland, Vibrator.com, and Pink Cherry Toys.
Here is my list: http://curiousnicky.com/my-holiday-blogger-wishlist/
Screaming Violet says
Sorry sweetie, my spam filter decided your comment was spam – stupid thing!
Will add your wishlist to the list and of course see if there’s anything on there I can grant.
As for other review programs you could try the Cal Exotics sexpert program as well as TheAdultToyShoppe.com, they recently asked me to review for them, but I think you’ve got the main players already.
