Cosy Photo Challenge [Closed Til Next Time!]

DZL6Q5u.jpg

here's my care basket for my absolute fave, Rodney! in this handy hamper we've got:
- NASA hoodie. super comfy, plus I gifted him a throwback rocket which he loves!
- mask. perhaps more for me than him, but I don't wanna get ill!
- tangle teezer. blue like him, plus keeps his fur in check - brushed hair when ill makes you feel like a new person!
- tea and ribena - gotta stay hydrated, and while hot fluids are good sometimes you just need the nostalgia of ribena!
- some sweets and chocolate - some sugar never hurt anyone, right?
- soothers - while they arguably do nothing to solve a sore throat, they taste pretty nice
- bath salts - i just know my boy treats himself right with a nice hot bath
- a cookbook. Rodney wants to be a chef, so what better time to read up on some new recipes than when ill?
- a book - Gone by Michael Grant. it seems like the kind of genre he'd be into! a good dystopian YA novel
- last but not least, some slippers. also blue like him, but mainly in there for comfort.

this was super fun!!
 
For my darling Fauna (Dw Bam ur still number one I just don’t have any protein shakes or bench presses for u!!)





✩ A fleece to keep her warm, Autumn is creeping in and she needs to wrap up for her morning strolls! Hopefully she also appreciates the colour choice, I thought it was quite fitting for her woodland look
✩ A selection of snuggly toys (also woodland/kinda autumnal themed) to keep her safe, also good company I’d imagine! Could also be used as decor for her house as they’re also suitable for her aesthetic
✩ A flower crown to rightfully rule her as princess of the forest!!!! Also it’s very pretty and I think it would make her happy hehe
✩ A book because she’s always talking about her collection and how she likes to read, I often spot her out and about with her nose in a book
✩ A floral mug to go in her kitchen, she needs some cuter cutlery to match her level of cuteness
✩ A few lil snacks to treat herself whenever she feels like it! I would’ve preferred to make her an entire cake with my love written ontop but I don’t have the ingredients! (Imagine a fruit cake in the shape of a heart LOL)
 
For Marshal! The best blue container I could find was this little box, so I just went with small items (which works: he's small too!)

The items are as follows:
  • Moisturizer, lipbalm, a bottle of water, and vaporub! All in blue containers since Marshal likes blue and light blue! When you're sick, you need to stay hydrated -- and moisturized, since tissues will wreck your skin.
  • Coffee pods! Because Marshal's house is very café-styled -- but when you're sick, grinding your own coffee beans is a bit too much work!
  • Sunglasses -- because he likes 'cool' gifts! And because of light sensitivity, but mostly just to be cool.
  • A book ("Eeyore's gloomy little instruction book") -- aside from being blue, books are nice when you're sick (and it's a very fun book)!
  • Medicine! aka a paper bag I made to look like the ACNH medicine -- it just has tylenol and vitamins inside of it.
  • A little card, signed by my other villagers! Because every care package needs a get-well card.
  • Marshal figurine! ... Because self love is self care, right? 'w')b

Here's my care package for my sick doggo buddy Bones :(

- Dog food so that he doesn't have to worry about it
- 3 types of treats because my lazy boi deserves it, and adores it
- some toys and plushie to spend time while stuck at home
- a fur brush to keep feeling and looking good
- dog safe medicine
- I've heard that dogs eat grass when sick, so I'll put a little bit of that in too!
- a homemade card to show my love
 
Do we need to have a name card for the cloud photos for the September entry? I think it might be a bit hard to have the photo of the cloud and name tag in focus, so would it be better for like a before and after type of photo?

Yes, a name card is required for all entries including the 7th challenge. You can have one photo with the cloud alone, and a second photo with the name card and the cloud in the background. As long as it's easy to tell that the name card and cloud are present in the same place and time the entry will be accepted.
 
My care basket is for the one and only cutie Maple ~
M1Wy8XB.jpeg

  • I packed her my favorite teas, hopefully they're her favs too, chamomile for a good night's rest and lavender tea for reducing stress. I also included a bottle of honey (pretend it's full haha) if she wants her tea to be sweeter. I also packed her Emergen-C to help boost her immune system!
  • Onto the next category - spa care! I included a body cream, a strawberry sugar face scrub, and a little pink headband so that the water doesn't get onto parts of her fur.
  • Next are the art/writing supplies - since one of her fav hobbies is to write letters, I've included a little pouch just behind the small brown clip that includes washi tape, stickers, watercolor paper, and envelopes. I also included a dotted journal and desk calendar for her. Other supplies also include some watercolor canvases, paintbrushes in the pouch just below the stuffed bear, and some markers at the very front, next to the Emergen-C.
  • Because Maple has the education aspiration, I packed her two books (because I imagined she is a woke woman), "This Bridge Called My Back" and "The Revolution Starts At Home" I also packed a sushi night lamp for some late night readings. And ofc, a warm brown scarf that also doubles as a shawl + a stuffed sleepy bear for optimal coziness.
  • AND LASTLY, a cute little note that reads, "Dearest Maple, Get well soon so we can go check out the latest cafes!"

Here's my care package for Goose!

- Dumbbell. I'm sure Goose can lift heavier weights than this, but this is supposed to be intended for travel!
- Protein powder for the swole chicken who's gotta bulk.
- Mixed nuts and nutrition squares for snacking after a workout.
- Deodorant for the man who SWEATS.
- Aspirin and a brace for when he inevitably injures himself during a lifting session.
- Floral Aloha shirt because Goose would totally wear it, plus he's going to need fresh clothing following his workout!
- Handbook of Good English, a must for any jock.
- Goose is a country boy with a Ranch style, so he carries a lucky pig.
- K.K. Country plays in his house, so I included a GemsonVHS pin. GemsonVHS is a folk/indie country collective.
- A bag to hold everything!
 
Here's my basket for the maverlous Molly! (I used her description on Nookipedia to verify her personality traits)
EgNfJH_WsAIe2DG

EgNfImUWAAAOoeT

  • Of course I had to start off with a lovely bouquet, grown in my very own garden! Molly's goal is to become a florist, so I'm sure she'll fix it to be even more beautiful.
    💐
  • Included in the bouquet are some fresh mint leaves, perfect from brewing a fresh mint tea! 🍵
  • Molly is a ' self-proclaimed bookworm', so of course the first thing I needed to add were some great classics for her to read 📚
  • I have also included a journal and fountain pen, in case she decides to have a go at writing (or journaling) herself! 🖋
  • She's the eldest of nine siblings, who I'm sure she misses greatly, so I've included a baby picture of some of her feathery sisters 🦆
  • I have also included one of my favourite shirts, with all types of duckies on it! It's oversized and cosy, great for snuggling up in when you just want to be comfy 👕
  • I've also added some bunny pj bottoms and a fluffy (Hedwig) face mask, so she can get a good nights rest. 💤
  • For when she doesn't want to sleep, I've included a boardgame, 'Kodama', which is all about building trees and collecting all things nature. This is perfect because Molly's hobby is 'nature' and she loves trees and plants in particular! 🌳
  • Molly is described as 'quite the clean freak', so I've made sure to include some hand sanitiser and a cute floral mask, in case she needs to go out! 🧴
  • I've added some chocolate, because that always makes me feel better when I'm ill and miserable 😂
  • Last but not least, there's a 'get well soon' card, because it always cheers me up when I get a thoughtful card 📕
(I also got out some special tea specifically to add to the basket since Molly loves tea, but did I remember it?? Of course not!)

Bea is a brown dog with dark brown ears. Her favorite color is green and aqua. She likes to cook and water plants.
My basket has items that would let her know that I care and that I'm happy that we are friends.

1.Cookbook titled "Three Dog Bakery". Bea will talk about the need to find new recipes so I thought she could use this one.

2.Green flowers in vase: Fresh flowers, in her favorite color,
would make her smile and produce the joy emotion. It is nice to know someone cares.

3.A brown/aqua dish towel that she could use when she does the dishes.

4.Green watering can: I usually find her outside either sniffing or watering my flowers.
She needs a new watering can, especially in her favorite color.

5.Plushie: Bea is a dog, What dog wouldn't love a plushie toy to play with or to sleep with.

6. Treat: I gave her a treat that she could eat anytime she was hungry.
 
"When Life Hands you Lemons - You Make Lemonade!"

So I made a basket for my favorite villager Tangy

1. Sunny D - the motto for Sunny D is "Tangy Original" so naturally it will be great for her to get her immune system back up.
2. "Doing Just Peachy" mug - because an uplifting motto is just the thing to not let your morale sink and some
3. Orange and Spice tea - the perfect choice to make tangy feel comfortable, but also let's be real - she's definitely spicy too!
4. Coconut and Mimosa body lotion - so her skin can just soak in that extra vitamin C she needs to be her true self.
5. Candy - naturally candied orange slices and lemon heads are her favorite
6. Strawberry Burt's Bees Lip Balm - so that truly she won't dry out and can remain fresh from head to toe
7. Advecta - its like.... cat medicine, duh!
8. Juicer - Ok hear me out on this! So you know how in medieval times, humans used leeches to get the bad blood out of us? Thats what tangy does to rejuvenate herself - get out the bad juice and reinvigorate herself with the fresh!
9. I wanted to make sure she would be entertained while she recovers and drinks all her fluids, so I wrote down my Netflix password for her so she can binge watch her favorite show - "Orange is the New Black"
10. The lemons and lemonade were really just to go with the saying on her picture

I love tangy so much, and I love Citrus so it was easy to put together this basket so she can feel splendid and back to her peppy self!

iPad- Olaf, like most smug villagers, shows an interest in the arts. He has mentioned dancing and music to me multiple times, so I assume he would probably enjoy being able to listen to music at his leisure. He could also make use of language learning apps since he often says phrases in other languages.

Comb- Olaf cares a lot about keeping up appearances. His quote, "Keep your nose clean," is a reflection of this. I've given him this comb in case his hair gets messed up while he plays with the others at the slumber party. Also, you may notice the Chinese writing on the comb. This comb was given to me as a souvenir from my dad's friend after his trip to China, so I assume the writing is some sort of brand name or such. Since Olaf is always saying phrases in different languages, I feel he would appreciate the Chinese writing.

Mirror- I put this in the box for the same reason as the comb. He can use this mirror to check up on his appearance whenever he feels the need. He can also look in the mirror while he uses the comb I have provided.

Book- Olaf has the education hobby, and I often find him reading around my island. Playing with others is nice, but sometimes you just want to slip away by yourself and read a good book. Also, I like to read before bed because it helps me relax, so maybe it can help Olaf if he has difficulty falling asleep in the unfamiliar environment of the slumber party.

Korean Album - Fitting with the language and music theme, I've included a Kpop album. If they happen to have a CD player at the slumber party, then I feel that Olaf would like to have some foreign language music to play given his interest in foreign languages. Music is a must for any party-

  1. Bunnie's favourite coffee brew! Blue Mountain coffee, lots of milk, and three spoonfuls of sugar! Lovely and sweet just like she is. ❤️
  2. Now, I've included a plush replica of Bunnie herself. I want it to be a constant reminder that she is beautiful and to love herself.
  3. Bunnie has a knack for fashion; so I thought I'd include a piece from her sweater line of clothing. And it even fits plush Bunnie!
  4. Bunnie also loves all things cute and soft. This teddy dog which unintentionally looks a lot like Goldie, is a cute little knick-knack for her to cuddle up and love!
  5. Who doesn't love candles? This beautiful sandalwood and jasmine candle fills the room with a relaxing scent and helps Bunnie sleep at night!

For Shari, my favourite monkey!

In my photo:
. Tylenol (medicine) when she has aches and pains
. Cough syrup for when she has a bad cough
. Kleenex for her nose
. Thermos of hot soup (in the right under the Tylenol) and a big bowl of soup located to the left for extra soup goodness
. A cup and a box of lemon ginger tea (that’s the tea I drink when I get sick)
. A pack of mask for her to wear if she needs to go outside
. BANANAS TO GIVE HER ENERGY!

I prepared a gift box for Stitches, that includes: A comfy blanket and movies because he's a lazy villager who likes to relax. I thought he might like Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox, who also look like stuffed toys. Because he likes food, I put some fruits and brownies, He needs healthy food and vitamins to overcome that cold but confort food like chocolate cake always cheers up. For his cold I added Yuja cha and lozenges, both are honey and citrus flavored, cub likes honey isn't it? Also some fabric, colorful threads, needles and scissors in case he's hurt somewhere else or just want to change his style. To finish, I put a Yotsuba plastic model to build and play with. I hope he will like it.
 
My care basket for Gaston!
Webp.net-resizeimage_5.jpg


- Beard trimmer and some wax to style his great moustache. Even if he's sick, Gaston wants his facial hair to look fabulous.
- A bag of critical care which is something you feed sick rabbits. I don't want Gaston to get a gut ache also.
- A carrot for a treat (it's definitely a real carrot and I'm not lying)
- A hand written letter since he's not really into texting. I added in a fresh pencil with a bunny eraser so he can write me back.
- Another miniature cardboard box for his house. Anyone who has seen Gaston's house knows it's all cardboard boxes and there's nothing he loves more for some odd reason.

I picked Gaston as my villager, as I adore his mustache and think his personality is a lot like mine sometimes lol! That, and I figure someone is going to do one for Raymond so...I hope it's ok I just have one picture? I forgot to take one without the sticky note with my TBT name the first time, BAH! So sorry the text on the card ended up being so faint since I used pencil. I can always take a closer pic of the card if anyone wants.

The card reads, "Gaston," [Card Text: Hope you're feeling better soon!]!! "Sacre bleu! I'm so sorry to hear you're under the weather! Call my NookPhone if you need anything!" - Lori

(Ok, this might be a little long because I really wanted to do a good job on this! Most items are self explanatory.)

- Sturdy re-usable wooden box with a lid & hinges
- A book called, "Understanding Cats" so he can figure out how to better understand his neighbors, and I know he enjoys educational things
- Oolong tea
- Miso soup
- Chicken noodle soup
- Kleenex w/ lotion
- Tiger Balm patches and rub (as I know he has aches and pains normally)
- Advil
- Elderberry gummies for immune health
- Mixed berry flavor Emergen-C with bone health (at his age he's gotta' worry about that I suspect)
- A bottle of alkaline water as its really good for you
- Super soft warm fuzzy socks with primary colors and aloe
- Lastly, I didn't have any crosswords to put in, so instead, I put in a caterpillar puppet so he can practice his ventriloquism if he feels up to it!

If I need to attach the larger un-cropped photo, just let me know =^.^= I hope it's ok though! <3
edit: typo & put in a cut for spoiler

I chose Clyde, as he's the first villager to give me his photo in New Horizons, and he's been with me since New Leaf. Also, getting sick playing airplane in the rain sounds like him. :p
ZbjsdId.jpg


1. I decided on putting in some fruit since he loves food. A fruit basket and perfect pears are things he needed in HHD for his new home; otherwise, his decor is typically all fruit! Plus, I believe, "Let food be thy medicine!" (Subbing perfect pears for canned organic pears in a pinch.)

2. I also am including some comic books since Clyde has a love of comics. He wears the superheo outfit I gifted him on his birthday nearly every day. Turns out, being a superhero is actually his dream!

3. I'm including a puzzle for him too. It just seems like something he'd enjoy while stuck indoors all day. Besides the fact there are dessert cats all over it, his hobby is playing.

4. I thought it would be beneficial to include a diffuser, so he can enjoy some nice, healing or calming essential oils. As an added plus, an ultrasonic diffuser can humidify the air a little bit too, and all his insect friends could enjoy that side-effect. ( :

5. There's also a nice, cosy sweater in our shared favourite colour: green. He can wear it to stay warm while he rests up.
P.S. The items wouldn't really be visible if I put them in the bag, so I just put them beside it. I hope that's okay.
 
Here's my care package for Apollo:

gy7zTHtl.jpg


I tried to select black and white items to match his colour scheme and the interior of his house. I also included some practical items that might be useful to someone with a cold: green tea (and a stack of styrofoam cups so there's nothing to wash up), kleenex and cold pills. I also threw in my MP3 player (with a skull case) because his style is rock and roll and I figured he could listen to some rock music on it. :D

Mine is for Muffy! 🐏

💙 An Illustration book with lolita-themed drawing for her to enjoy.
💜 The game Spirits & Spells; for the cool cover and something fun to play.
🖤 Un-popped popcorn to make as a fun activity/snack.
💙 Honey lotion to keep the skin soft and glamorous.
💜 A shooting stars bath bomb to make for a cozy bath time.
🖤 Honey to make lemon-honey water, tastes yummy and it good for the throat.
💙 A big cup to make the brews with.
💜 Crystals as a nice decoration for their home. I feel like they'd like these! It's moonstone and rose quartz.

Everything was chosen as it was either matching their lolita theme or body colors.

This package is for my favorite villager.....Barold!


The package contains:
-Some shaving cream and razors, because he always has that beard stubble.
-Some chapstick for his beautiful lips.
-Vegetable broth because his home request is some space for stew, and broth
and stew are pretty much the same thing.
-Some Honey, Maple syrup, and peanuts because bears love this kind of stuff, and his favorite quote is to “Please DO feed the Bears!”
-And a calculator and ear phones because his skills are computing and programming. They might come in handy.
