I just made some magnets and some necklace pendents. I'm planning on tucking away some for secret Santa.

There are some really great ideas on her. I think my 2 puppies would love an organic treat or toy. I love the idea of something personalized. I also like the idea of buying a gift for someone's young daughter. I wish I knew what to buy my person. There have been some amazing sells at Ulta.

I'm so going to participate in this this year. So many kids (nieces and nephews!) in my family these days that we adults don't do much in the way of gift exchanging, and last year I found myself really missing shopping for someone like that!

I just have a really bad gift-giving situation in my family. I have people to buy stuff for, but they keep me at arm's length and/or actively push me away (the last straw actually involved a Christmas present), so I just have to take a stab in the dark and hope they at least pretend to like whatever I get them. I had so much fun shopping for this exchange last year that I wish I could do them more often! Much less family nastiness, and I think we've already covered my fondness for cart Tetris. I think of this as a variation of that since you're trying to figure out how to get the most awesome stuff for the amount you can spend. You're just not typically using an actual shopping cart for it since chances are that you will be hitting several different stores!

I know what you mean. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And then when it comes for gifts for ME...I'm appreciative of everything, but I like the idea of exchanging gifts with ladies on here, who GET the things I like! To my family, "she likes makeup" = one of those dollar store holiday sets for kids, or those cheap lotion and soap baskets...which, yeah, the thought is nice, and I'd never be rude about it...but here, people can understand "Oh, she loves colored eyeliners and shimmery eyeshadows and is just DYING to try something from Lush!" And I can be equally excited to try to "get" what will make someone else excited. Fun!

Even though the limit is $30, I might have to go a bit over. I don't have a lot of people I buy presents for, but I like to go crazy. My favorite part of the holiday season is shopping for gifts!
Same here! I don't get to buy makeup for anyone really so I will most likely spoil my secret Santa. I am also a big time lushie so they might get a lot of that too
Ha, you'd be my ideal! I have never tried Lush, and it's #1 on my "stuff I want to try" list!

I wish this kind of enthusiasm was in the Birthday Group. I have sent numerous gifts out over the last year, having fun with it... But now my birthday came and went with not even a birthday card or private message, wishing me a happy birthday, from anyone in the group.
Aw. I really didn't even know about the birthday group, but it sounds like something I should participate in!

With all the interest in the birthday group, I think it will be a great group once the moderators get the group lead figured out. I look forward to finding out more about the new members interested in it.

I'm a Lush Lover as well & just so happen to live 20 minutes from one. Whomever I get to buy for will definitely be getting some Lush Love in their gift from me!
