Hello everyone! I hosted a giveaway on tumblr for trans guys recently. But now that that's finishing up, I want to do one for trans women. Problem is, I don't really know what would help...

That's where y'all come in!
What are some things that help ease dysphoria? Especially early on in transition. If y'all can provide ideas, and even websites for good places to get things from, I'd really appreciate it. My only real guideline is that it needs to be less than $100 shipped.

Thanks for the help!

Acceptance and a sense of community.
Gift certificates are always nice, but I don't think anything under $100 is going to really make that big of a difference.  I don't think there's a thing that can ease the dysphoria apart from time, patience and resolve.

Helpful to me at least:  The Transgender Guidebook, the MTF transgender companion by Jennifer Seeley.  And the Deepstealth Productions DVDs by Andrea James and Calpernia Addams.  Friends and lots of hugs.

Under $100? How about a gift certificate for a makeup makeover at your favorite makeup store like MAC or sephora?

kind of confused what kind of things your talking about, maybe give a few ideas of what exactly you have in mind.

I'm not really sure, to be honest. For the trans guy giveaways, I did a binder and a packer. Are there some sorts of equivalent items for trans women?

Maybe some breast forms, voice training DVDs, books, etc.

Where would be good places to get those from? Sorry for my ignorance. = /

Gift certificates to Sally Beauty stores, magnifying makeup mirrors, manicure supplies, moisturizer, hair brushes?

Or a $100 shopping spree for clothes.

The possibilities are endless (my old employers slogan).

I think that would a good idea. Especially for people just getting into make up. Make up is friggin' expensive.

I could go for a $ 99.99 black lace dress

Panties would be good I think.  Just plain ones for every day wear.  It's not fun spending money on boring underwear but it's a necessity and could be something that people who are not yet out could still wear discreetly.

Perhaps a gaff as well.

You kind of can't go wrong with a good red lipstick.

Maybe a color correcting concealer for beard shadow?
