  7. WOW! this is so cool. i feel like i need you to complete/betterize all my songs, jokes, and thoughts from now on. :)

  10. Oh god! I need almost all of these things! and the things I don’t need, I need a person to give those things to!
    So much want!

  15. Could I have Deanne Smith serenade me for Christmas? Even though I’m Jewish and celebrate Hannukah…

  16. This was excellent. Well done!

    Also I may or may not have bookmarked some of these items for long-distance girlfriend’s Christmas gift :P

  19. I never knew I could want a package of underwear so badly. Dinosaurs. Ridiculously comfortable Topman trunks. Ugh. Somebody wanna play Santa?!

  23. This is so adorable, a perfect match to the song. Adventure Time boy shorts! The grammar dessert plates!

  28. This is amazing. Also while watching the nerdy love song video, my cat came over and fell asleep on my lap. DeAnne is kitten bait is what I’m saying.

  32. This is so supremely useful because I have a brother in a PhD math program who I have no idea what I buy for. He’s not queer, but it doesn’t matter. For all the unanswered questions in my life, Autostraddle will provide.

  33. Awesome!

    I want those galaxy boxer shorts, they are amazing :O

    And I’ve actually offered the Equation watch, with great success!
