"Oh gosh," Kairi gasps aloud as Ginia signs for a hundred or more. "100 or more? You're sure?" Kairi signs it quickly, but easily, showing just how much she's trying to get a confirmation. It's more than she's ever thought for a gathering that she was helping - even in a distant manner as this - help to organize.

"Well, hmm... There's buttons - you know like the kind you pin to a shirt or bag - since you can get those in bulk, or something like laminated bookmarks too. A simple keychain maybe, or t-shirts with a print on them wouldn't be too bad either if you're getting that many... There's coasters... small picture frames... magnets for a refrigerator... maybe even little stones with a symbol etched into them, although a symbol like that - that's special to Ebisu - you could use that for a lot of these ideas. Oh, paper fans too!"

Finally, she chuckles a little and looks over at Ginia, remembering to sign this time - for her own practice if nothing else. "Do any of those ideas sound good to you?"

Ginia nods with a bit of tired nervousness. It takes a lot of volunteers to run an event at a major shrine for a God of Fortune. She hadn't realized how many jobs and people were involved until she began looking at everything entailed. It may be an annual event, but there are always small or major changes each year and things to help with.

As Kairi offers suggestions, Ginia begins to write them down. Bulk is definitely the option, and though there is a bit of a time crunch, something simple enough they could put in a rush order for.

"These are definitely a good starting place." T-shirts seem to be a pretty stable freebie to give away. Buttons or a keychain too, though all fall into the second problem of figuring out a design. She hones in a little on a symbol special to Ebisu, signing absently as she muses.

"Fish are usually associated with Ebisu. Red sea bream usually. Jellyfish as well, and whales and whale sharks. With how often he's depicted with red sea bream, maybe a different animal would be more notable?"
