Gifts for Guests
If you’ve brought something special for the guest, such as a personal note or small gift, we ask that you follow certain guidelines for practical and safety reasons. Guests appreciate these gestures, but please avoid anything large or bulky.
- Please ensure that you provide the name of the guest, as well as your own name and contact information, either written on the outside of the message or attached clearly to the outside of the gift.
- Please do not wrap your gift using tape or tie it using ribbon; however, a gift bag or simple tissue paper cover is acceptable. (Animaga Staff must be able to screen all gifts.)
- Avoid anything large or bulky or easily damaged. Most guests fly quite a distance to appear at Animaga, and may have limited space in their luggage. Any gifts you bring should be small, durable, and easily packed.
- Please note that NO FOOD will be accepted.
- No items that contain human DNA will be accepted. (Blood, skin, or hair…)
- If you have an item to present as a gift at any guest appearance, please bring it first to the Animaga staff member in charge of the appearance.
- You can bring your gift to the merchandise table, and our staff will help you to give it to the guest later.
- DO NOT use Q&A time during a guest’s panel to present your gift to the guest; this is extremely rude and unfair to other people who have come to hear the guest speak.
- You can bring your gift to the signing session. Please ask our staff to check your gift before you present it to the guest.
- Any special gift request please confirm with the staff.
