So yes homemade snacks [the sweeter the better] would be lovely

For those who would like/not mind a custom...what kind of customs? Gimme two or three ideas for a custom and references.Anything Hasbro based and anything thats a baby pony

How do you feel about merchandise? Do you focus on just the ponies or do you also get a thrill out of pony purses and ceiling fans and wrapping paper and whatever else has been made?I love merch - especially anything "paper" based - so newsletters, leaflets, cards, that kind of thing - but I do only collect G1 merch
