The Letter
If you would like your own personal shopper, all you have to do is write a Dear Shiny Penguin letter. It might even use a line or two from this:
Dear Shiny Penguin, I need a gift idea for my brother, stat! And pulled my uncle's name from the holiday hat. I have a housewarming party, what do I bring? Am invited to a sprinkle – what is this thing? Headed to college, what backpack should I buy? What type of sunscreen, so my skin won't fry? I need to find a gift for a couple who hike. And pick me a gift that my mother will like! I need a hostess gift for someone I don't know. Help me find something for my sister's new beau. True, my shopping demands need a magician. But I'll click your links so you earn a commission*. - A Shiny Penguin Shopper
