Ian Somerhalder knows what sort of a massive fanbase he has courtesy of "The Vampire Diaries" -- and with that in mind, he is asking for a rather specific sort of birthday gift.
In a rather lengthy post on his Ian Somerhalder Foundation website, Ian describes that he receives all sorts of material gifts every year for his birthday -- from jewelry to stuffed animals to all sorts of handmade creations. With that in mind, Ian described that for his 33rd birthday, he would like to encourage donations -- with an added benefit for anyone who decides to do so:
"If you really are driven to still give, the best birthday present I could possibly imagine receiving is a donation to ISF. Everyone who has it within their hearts to support ISF deserves some respect and love, and the only way I know how to give a little of this to so very many is to try my very best to try to send each and everyone of you a personal email. I want to reach out so I can thank you for your support and learn a little about you to discover how you fit into this remarkable family. I know that seems crazy! But it's important to me to be able to connect and bond with all of ISF. So while it may take me some time to respond to everyone, I will do my best to try to thank each and everyone of you for sharing whatever you can with ISF."
Ian technically is going to celebrate his birthday on December 8 -- as for when we will celebrate the return of "The Vampire Diaries," new episodes resume on January 5.
