      So... I pledged 40$ for the pins (That's my selected reward since there's not many left), but I may have added another 50$ for the Hellephant. However, can these be internationally shipped? (God, Canada is so far away...), I'll add however much extra to the pledge for these items!

      I upped my pledge to get the patch. I am so ashamed. My husband didn't notice the $25 for tarot cards so I hope he totally misses this. It's not that he would care, so much as it would be incredibly difficult to explain the "value" these items have for me. Thank goodness his birthday is coming up and I can shower him with shiny baubles and distract from my frivolous fuckery.
