My Bleep Bop arrived, and it is so perfectly chubby and tidy and squeezy — the whole package was such a treat, all wrapped in delicious vintage tissue along with a handmade card and a sweet little button, oh! Best of all, it came to me from My Imaginary Boyfriend, thereby making way for a whole series of “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific”/“Nut ‘n’ Honey”-style misunderloguing (“Does Marco know about this imaginary boyfriend, and if so, is he threatened by the gentleman’s most excellent taste in felty tree ornaments?”).

And on the topic of robot love: have you seen the holiday wrapping paper at Old Navy these days (not, for some reason, available on their website)? Such a triumph.
