THIS THREAD IS FOR DONATIONS. PLEASE ONLY POST ONCE YOU HAVE DONATED

 

It's that time of year again, collecting donations for our big anniversary project. Can you believe its almost been 6 years? If you haven't seen how successful our previous years were, you should take a look at our Finished Projects and see all the gifts we've sent. Every year we try to take it one step further and we've done some extraordinary things for the girls in terms of showing our love/support through gifts and charity.

 

As the projects grow in size, we depend on your input of gift ideas as well as your donations. If you have any gift suggestions, please post in this thread: http://www.soshified...ns-preparation/. Our gifts will of course depend on the amount of donations we receive. Below are some of the confirmed ideas for this year's anniversary.

 

1. Tiffany & Co Necklaces (it's becoming a SSF tradition!)

2. "Photobook" featuring SONEs from around the world (more info TBA soon!)

3. "Room to Read" Charity Drive (http://bit.ly/187o0al)

 

PLEASE NOTE, this year we are including two ways to donate. The link above is if you want 100% of your donation to go to the charity gift, a convenient credit card payment. The links below to Paypal or sending cash will be divided between the gifts for the girls and the charity donation. We want to leave it all up to you where you would like your generous help to be used. 

 

More gifts will be revealed once we hit the donation marks. A lot of these gifts aren't cheap so we need your cooperation and support/help because we need to get everything before mid July to ship it out before the girls' 6th Anniversary. The remaining donations not spent towards gifts will be donated to "Room to Read". Find out more about our charity drive here: http://www.soshified...ified-girlssone

It's time for the big reveal - photos of the great gifts we all, as Soshified's 'One Love', sent the girls for their first 'big' anniversary.

Tiffany & Co Infinity Necklaces
First, in true Soshified tradition, the girls will open the box to see a new Tiffany & Co charm necklace, which donors voted to send. Of course, the infinity design is significant: as fans, we don't want just 5 years, we want to walk with SNSD forever. Everyone keep an eye out to see when the girls wear them!





Custom Swarovski Crystallized Phone Cases
Next, trendy personalized jewel cases from Crystal Rocked. As you can see, they're all tailored to what phones we've seen the girls carrying around lately.









Personalized Champagne Glasses
There's nothing like a glass of champagne to celebrate a wonderful 5th anniversary!



I AM SONE Photobook
After that, of course, the I AM SONE photobook! This was a product of the effort of so many people. In it, we focused on showing the girls a 'trip around the world' and a view of the friendships they've helped us make. If your photo appears in one of the follow snapshots and would prefer for Soshified to keep it private for the girls' eyes only, please PM Ghost and the snapshot will be removed from this thread. (Please note, this is not all the pages of the book - there were 60+ pages! So if you don't see yourself here, don't worry!)









































SBS Concert in America 5th Anniversary Event Support
With the concert being so close to the girls' anniversary, Soshified will be handing out paper signs wishing the girls a happy 5th anniversary along with free pink glowsticks. More information here: http://soshified.com...5th-anni-event/



You might be wondering, why are there fewer gifts than there have been in the past? With so many fancafes/clubs now sending the girls gifts in recent years, Soshified has been increasingly shifting it's focus on giving back to various charities all over the world in the girls’ names. In addition, this year we put the power in the hands of the donors, and you guys chose well - to donate more money to charity and to supporting the girls at the SBS concert.

Donations for the

Korean Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (KRPS) will continue to be accepted through the entire month of August. More information about the charity can be found here:

Hello everyone! Welcome to the annual Girls' Generation Anniversary Message Thread! I feel honored, and a little pressured, to open this thread, but I shall stop my rambling now, simply because any choice of words cannot even begin to explain my gratitude and appreciation for the girls. Instead, I would like to link a video put together by the amazing video editor yuldori801 that pretty much sums up my feelings.

Without further ado, you all are welcome to leave a message in this thread congratulating the girls on their 5th anniversary!

August 8, 2011 ^^

Yoona's flight was supposed to land at 10:30am so I woke up at 7am, drove to Linda's house, picked up 2 other SONEs, and arrived at the airport at 10:10am-ish. I brought my SM Town Paris foam heart, 1st Japanese album photobooklet, concert towel, and Soshified towel into the airport. The NorCal SONEs (whom, if I may add, are amazing for booking last minute flights and driving ~9hrs with traffic to LA) were already waiting in the lobby. There were some Lee Minho fangirls and some other SONEs that we did not know too. And so, my personal group of chingoos (around 20 people) waited. And waited.

We did a lot of waiting lol. Our group kinda split up and covered the two exits. After waiting and waiting, we were getting restless because we didn't see a lot of people from the same flight as Yoona. However, we started noticing these guys standing in the waiting area with us holding "EIDER" signs (you know, the ones that limo drivers hold to pick up their clients). We knew that we got the right flight~

So I'm just standing there, thinking "any moment now..." and keeping my eyes peeled for Yoona while acting as a walking stereo blasting Soshi music from my PSP. Around 11:30am, I turn to my left, and Elsy & Jackie are gone. I look behind me, and there's a huge mob outside and a bunch of fangirl squealing. As I walked out, a lady approached me, showed me a picture, and asked if he's the guy I'm looking for. I shook my head and asked if there was a girl with him. She said no. Strange. Lee Minho was out (came out through the other exit)... Yoona was no where to be seen... but the Eider guys were still standing around. Was it a distraction? Or maybe Yoona already was out and was super ninja and left already? I admit, I was feeling a little discouraged at that point.

I decided to walk to the other exit and told Chen to call me ASAP if Yoona came from the main exit. And so we waited. But then, 11:45am-ish, I get a call from Chen. The only things I heard were... "Yoona. Out. Outside." and then I bolted around the corner and the pillars and WHATEVER was in my way lol. Seriously, I don't think I ever sprinted that fast in my life. To whichever fangirl that saw me bolt and tried to cut me off, I'm... speechless. -__- Anyways. Got to the main exit in like... 5 seconds, saw the mob, and approached.

Yoona is gorgeous. Amazing. Extremely nice. Has super amazing skin. She seriously was glowing. Yoona and the other Eider staff were waiting for the shuttle so they started heading towards the curb. I heard that Michael picked up Yoona's bags when they fell off the cart because the staff were trying to push their way through. ^^ Brian also managed to give Yoona his rose through the manager~ As Yoona was walking towards the curb, Dinny and other people were trying to get autographs but she said that she couldn't. Dinny then told Yoona that she went to the concerts in Seoul (SSF field trip!) and Yoona replied with satisfaction heh. So anyways. There was a pickup truck (I think it belong to security) where Yoona went. Fans were crowded around and even went a little off the curb to try and get closer. Yoona was concerned for their safety and extended her arm, motioning to step back onto the curb. To avoid anyone getting hurt, she then proceeded to move in a circle. She pouted a lot. It was cute. ^^

When she came around again and headed towards the curb again, I yelled out "YOONA! SOSHIFIED!" She turned, looked at me, accepted my towel, and cutely replied "Ah! I know! Oh~" I died. I'm still shocked that she accepted it. The manager was trying to grab it but Yoona took it first. She didn't personally accept any gifts either. She only had some placards, the rose, and my towel. ^^ Don't worry guys. Even though I wiped my sweat and cried on it at the concert 2 weeks ago, I hand washed it last night with the intention of giving it to Yoona haha.

The white van came and Yoona got in. I stood in the front so I saw her through the front window. Haha, there was this one point where Yoona looked down and her sunglasses slipped from the bridge to the bottom of her nose. It was soooo adorable. She got on her phone and called someone. As the van was leaving, she waved outside to the fans. My group and I just kinda stood there for.. 5.. 10 minutes? Still dumbfounded. And spazzing like crazy. After that, we went to go eat Korean BBQ. My fancam is posted below. The end. ^^
