My favorite movie too! I watch it year-round and can pretty much quote the entire thing.

Also, I feel like I need to send cheese curds/sausage/beer to my giftee now, along with something Packer-tastic. It doesn't get much more Wisconsin than that!

 
So... I started working on my 12 days of christmas... and I think I am going to need a very large box to ship this in. Hahaha!!! I really hope my SS doesn't feel overwhelmed by all of this... I may need to rethink my approach.

Thanks for this @KellyKaye -- I started a second job to have some extra "weddings are expensive" money... and the other night the girl who was training me got to talking about makeup! She LOVES makeup, but told me she doesn't have the money to buy any. (And then proceeded to tell me how the shoes she was wearing were her husbands because they didn't have the money to go get her some). I'm making her a little "basket" for christmas and this will be perfect to toss in!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Spread the makeup love!
Reading this made me smile!

I do the same thing and love doing it. I have more than I need and every month my subscription boxes come in and once in a while I will trade if there was something I really wanted and didn't get but most of the time I put all my extras into a little stash and give stuff away to people who need it. I'm in recovery and have been clean and sober for almost four years so I work with other women in my free time and show them that there is another way to live. When I got clean and sober I was broken spiritually, emtionally, and physically and remember how the littlest things made my day so giving these women little things like makeup to make them feel better about themselves is pretty cool

Just wanted to tell you youre amazing!

The hubby came home from work to find me bawling, I couldn't stop crying  and I couldn't even speak to tell him what was wrong he looked seriously worried.  I felt so bad for him and after I was able to explain we had a good laugh about how emotional I get.
speaking of "The Notebook", I saw that movie for the first time on our long plane ride home from our honeymoon in Hawaii. Obviously my husband was reading his book while I was balling. All I could say through my tears were "you're going to die and leave me"...he was like "okay, why are you being a weirdo?"....I laugh about it now, but I still cry at the notebook..

Seems like that movie has that effect on women. My mom cried when she watched it and I got it for her as one of her Christmas gifts. The hubby ended up getting me a really nice gift set for this movie and I still cry every time I watch it.

  Your boyfriend is awesome! I am trying to convince my siblings to go work at Starbucks so that they can supply me with psl. I had not had one since I moved to Germany over 8 years ago until they finally brought it to Germany this fall.
Have you seen this? I dont know if they'll deliver to you but it could be worth checking out! http://www.starbucksstore.com/fontana-pumpkin-sauce/011008514,default,pd.html?&srule=Featured&start=0&sz=16&cgid=syrups-and-sauces

I'm not a fan of PSL. I think it tastes like candles. In my many moons behind the counter, I never understood the craze! But, it makes people happy I guess.

Thanks! I have to see if they deliver to me.

 
I will definitely go over the budget since most of my shopping will be done in Euros. I am wondering if my person would like a German Christmas ornament and if  they are  open to try German brands.
Trying out foreign brands was one of thee reasons I said yes to international shipping personally.It would be awesome if my SS was international :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Edited: cuz new iPad keyboard lol

YES TO ALL THIS!
I looove Grimm! I've heard Almost Human is good too, but we haven't started it yet. I also love Agents of Shield, and am eagerly awaiting the return of the Dr (Who, of course).

I watch Grimm, Agents of shields and  I really love Once Upon a Time. I must be the only person who doesn't watch Dr. Who.

I love those movies! I love the beginning of Love Actually that song is always stuck in my head whenever I watch it. I also randomly sing Disney songs around the house.

 
So I am finally caught up on this thread
yay.gif
 I was neglecting all my other threads to catch up. I feel bad for my SS since  I am not good at making things myself and I think homemade gifts are very thoughtful. I will try my best to make sure my SS has a gift they like. Also I want to apologize to whomever got me because I have not answered all my questions but my OCD would not let me answer the questions until I was caught up here.

 
What scents do you like:

I love floral, citrus, clean linen & sweet scents.

What scents do you not like:

I don't like anything that smells like trees such as cedar it triggers my allergies.

What makeup item can you not use at all:

I don't have any need for tanning towels since  I am already tan.

What makeup item do you use every day:

I don't wear makeup everyday but when I do us usually mascara, eyeliner, lipstick or lip gloss.

What colors do you avoid:

I don't really avoid any colors for eye makeup but when It comes to lips I guess blue, black, green or yellow lipsticks. I think it looks great on those who can pull it off but I cant.

How would you describe your style of makeup?

I would say somewhat classic but I love to try new trends and colors so maybe more adventurous.

What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)?

I love pink, purple, blue and black. For makeup I like rose gold for the eyes and pinks, gold and browns for the eyes. Lipsick I love everything from nude to red.

What colors do you use most in your apartment decoration?

I have mostly burgundy, blue, beige, & sage.

Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand?

I guess that would be UD.

If I am your secret santa and send you an over the top, fab gift would you:

 a)prefer everything wrapped individually

or

B) have a huge smorgasboard to look at

AND would you prefer to:

a) open each gift slowly and methodically

or

B) tear everything open like a mad woman

I would prefer everything wrapped individually. I am one of those people that will take forever because  I don't like to ruin the paper.  I am always thinking how long it must have taken to wrap.

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?

I don't mind as long as they are labeled and fresh.

What kind of extras would make your day?

I am pretty easy going and most things would make me happy specially things from the states. Anything that you like/love and think I should try.

What ONE PRODUCT (not brand or color in particular, just product) do you use more than any other?  (What runs out the quickest in your make-up drawer?)

I would say mascara but I have a never ending supply so I will never run out.

You just won a $50 giftcard to Birchbox/Target/or insert your favorite beauty store here....What's the first thing you want to buy???

At the moment Naked3. 

If you were to get something in your package that wasn't makeup or a beauty product, what would you be over the moon to see?

 I would say  scarfs, cat things, custom jewelry, something local to you and you cant go wrong with anything polka dots. Something for my cat would be nice too.

Is there an item (makeup, tool, skincare) you feel is missing from your routine, if so what?

Probably a good foundation brush.

Here's a question: Holiday flavor. Gingerbread, egg nog, or mint/chocolate mint?

Chocolate mint, eggnog then gingerbread.

What's in your purse right now?

The better question would be whats not in my purse lol. I currently have my wallet, credit cards, money, umbrella, shopping bag, tissue, hand sanitizer, change purser, sunglasses, scarf, lotion, makeup bag with mascara, eyeliner, blush, blotting papers, sunblock about 10 or more lipsticks and lip glosses. I also have an emergency wristlet with items for when that time of the month hits which includes advil.  I will stop here but I am sure there are more things in there.

What is your favorite holiday?

What candies and baked goods do you especially like?

I love chocolate specially mint chocolate, caramel popcorn, caramel anything, rice Krispie treats, sour patch kids, peppermint bark, cakes, cheese cake, brownies and things with peanut butter.

What candies and baked goods do you dislike?

I don't like anything with licorice, marzipan, chocolate with cherries.

I am always reading something.  I like books like Harry Potter, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Devil Wears Prada, The Lord of the Rings and The hobbit. I also like the classics like Little Women, The Great Gatsby.If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I will definitely go over the budget since most of my shopping will be done in Euros. I am wondering if my person would like a German Christmas ornament and if  they are  open to try German brands.
Personally I would love both. How awesome to try great brands from another country that my SS loves! Everyone is so wonderful here, I'm sure your Santee will appreciate the thought behind it.

German Christmas ornaments are the best!
 
German anything is amazing! I lived in Speicher, Germany (Spangdahlem Air Base) for 4 years & there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish I was back there again. I miss it so much! The Christmas markets are amazing! And all the food!!! Oh I miss it!

I hope so!  I went out today to get some more ideas for my SS and fell in love with the new Essence and Catrice collections.

 
Ooh, brands/products not available in the US? Love 'em! I used to shop at Daiso for Japanese things like pens, air fresheners, and kitchen stuff when I lived in Seattle just because I dig non-American stuff.
