Not looking for anybody to be rude; I just wanted to send a package of fun things to an actress I know. we went to high school together! What would you recommend sending? her favorite candy? what else?
If you "know" her, you should know what she likes/wants, etc. (and, of course, what Jordan said: how the heck would we know?)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

If you went to high school with her and know her, offer to take her out to lunch or for a drink after her show. Sending someone you know random gifts for no reason other than she's an actress just makes you seem like a generic fangirl which is fine if that's the look you're going for.
Okay. So I just spoke to her and she has no idea who you are. She asked me to tell you to refrain from sending her anything and she’s informed the stage door supervisor to keep an eye out for any packages sent to her and for them to dispose anything that comes in for her.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
Wouldn’t you be in a better position to know what she wants than us?
I don’t think anyone here is trying to be “rude,” but you’re the one who is this person’s friend, nor us. You should know better than anyone here what she likes.

Just curious how you know who the actress is the OP was talking about.

Dude, they "remember you" because your picture is posted backstage on the Dangerous Stalker Board!

So which is it? Do you know you personally or do they remember you because you give them stuff? Make up your mind, kiddo. (And what does being a teenager have to do with it?)

Case No. 129847562 of a fan who thinks because an actor briefly acknowledges them, they are now "friends"."I know them dude. We are best buds".
