Best Gifts for Your Fave? Let Tarot Help You Choose the Perfect Fan Letter and Treat!

Hi there! I'm Aries Yoko, the fortune-telling manga artist. Are you enjoying your creative activities?

Doujin events are a precious chance to directly tell your favorite creators, "I love your work!"

However, have you ever worried, "What kind of gift would make them happy?" or "Is my letter too intense?", and ended up giving nothing at all? To deliver your pure feelings of "love" in the most wonderful way, I recommend borrowing the power of Tarot to find hints for gifts for your favorite creators!

1. What Thoughts Should You Put into Your "Letter"?

The greatest treasure for a creator is often actually the "letter."

[Card: Judgement] "Express your emotion of 'My life has changed' in honest words." This card signifies awakening and rebirth. Tell them about the positive changes in your life: "Thanks to your work, my daily life has become fun," or "I felt saved when I read that scene." Knowing that their work became someone's strength is the greatest fuel for a creator.

2. What Would be Good for a "Gift"?

The cards will tell you the recommended genre based on the other person's situation.

[Card: 6 of Cups] "Give something nostalgic or a heart-warming 'healing' gift." If this card appears, gentle gifts that soothe the heart are recommended.

• Hot eye masks or bath additives: Relaxing goods to heal fatigue after finishing a manuscript.
• Individually wrapped sweets: Lovely treats that can be eaten quickly between tasks. Rather than something expensive, things that convey a sense of labor and care, like "Thank you for your hard work," will resonate most.

[Card: Queen of Pentacles] "Give practical, high-quality 'color for daily life'." This card represents abundance and steadiness.

• High-end drip bag coffee: A slightly better brand that they might not buy for themselves.
• Stylish stationery or consumables: Functional and well-designed items that are helpful to have. Practical items that slightly upgrade the creator's daily routine will likely be appreciated.

3. Points to Note: "Manners and Timing"

[Card: The Hermit] "Respect the other person's 'inner silence'." A convention venue is a place of tension for creators too. This card recommends a modest and calm attitude.

• Keep it brief, with a smile: When there's a line, it’s smart to hand it over quickly with a word like "I'm rooting for you!"
• Clearly state the recipient's and your own name: Always attach a note like "To [Creator] from [Your Name]." Being considerate enough so they know who it’s from later is very much appreciated.

A Message from Aries Yoko

If you really can't decide, remember this card at the very end.

[Card: The Sun] "Your pure energy of 'I love this!' is the strongest gift." You don't need to overthink it. The fact that you smiled upon reading that work is the "Sun" for the creator. Trust your intuition—the feeling of "When I saw this, I thought of that person!"

In Closing

Letters and gifts are "bridges of light" connecting you and the creator. I pray that your thoughts reach your favorite creator directly on the day of the event and that a warm interaction is born! Fill your bag with wonderful loot and many happy memories!
