(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[elizabethrose]

OH. I almost forgot- apparently there's going to be a storewide/site wide Sephora discount sometime in December for BI's- 15%. Not a ton, but definitely some. They couldn't give me a date yet though.

 

[elizabethrose]

I keep forgetting all the things I wanted to say. I forgot to get the eating kinds of extras though! I probably just need to go to Ann Sathers and do it to it. I feel like it's still early though! I started putting all my things together and there's a lot.. And still so much more to do!

GUYS. I spent so much money tonight. Nordstrom Rack had UD eyeliners for FOUR DOLLARS. They only had them in two colors but I obviously bought plenty. And I got their lip stain for four dollars, none of it had been touched! I checked! Also- Maybelline things and some Revlon things were on super sale at Walgreens. I went to Target and raided the dollar section too. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, maybe I'll be brave enough to brave Lush after that? I'm excited to hear about Catching Fire!! I'm seeing it Monday!!

Wow!! I wish I had stores like that around me! You and your SS are super lucky!

 

[missemiee]

Oh my gosh! My husband and I are forever talking about having more room for activities and the f#%king Catalina wine mixer!

Lol I know! That movie came out awhile back and I feel like I could watch it over and over and never get sick of it. Ahh and yes, my husband and I have nicknamed my friends wedding who got married the year that movie came out the "Elkhorn Wedding Mixer" lol. Anyone know where Elkhorn, Wisconsin is? Yup that's where the wedding was. Not glamorous one bit. Oh but I could definitely go for some fancy sauce right now! Lol

I. LOVE. HANDMADE. JEWELRY.
Even if it's something I wouldn't wear, I just love people who make jewelry because I have no artistic ability whatsoever (except with makeup). Super jealous of your SS!

Awww-- thanks! I hope she likes it. I put a link to my etsy shop in my signature if you wanted to take a peek at what I might be sending her. Wow you make some beautiful jewelry!

OMG Ann Sathers!!! You must live in Chicago!! I miss that place. I haven't been since 2011, but I think about it all the time! Denver has great diner places too, but nothing compares to Ann Sathers!

Did someone say puppy!? The top one is Archer in his Halloween gnome costume, he was so scared he just laid on me and wouldn't move. The bottom one is him being my SS elf and hating his life as well, poor thing

Super cute!

Yup! Just creepily watching and smiling as they open their gift.

On another note. I feel like we may not see as many reveal posts as there are SS. There are what? A little over 100 match ups and only a handful of us actually post frequently. I'll definitely be posting mine and I'm pretty sure my Santee will be posting hers. Yes, that's right, I've seen you out there

lol
Yeah, I will definitely be posting mine. In fact, I might post a video of myself giggling freakishly and rubbing all the items on my body! It's just how I roll!

*It puts the presents on its skin*

 just the fact that someone took time to think about me makes me happy.

I'm hoping most people post their gifts as well. I think a lot of people read this thread but don't respond. That is definitely what i do. I love reading/seeing what's going on but don't really make the time to post so maybe that's what a lot of other people are doing as well.

OT! Has anyone seen the ALice + Olivia Tumbler that Starbucks is currently selling. It is beyond adorable.



Of course I need it and can't find it at any local starbucks. I was thinking of getting one for my SS too if I find it but I'm not sure if she'll like it or not!

That's so cute, I want it!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

So apparently my cat is bored with my SS stalking...this is what is happening here right now....

 

[wrkreads]

It seems like coming in very evening means I have lot of catch up posts to read. I am totally craving a Starbucks now. I'll be posting pics of the gift I receive as soon as it arrives, so hopefully I get one, lol. I couldn't imagine not sending when I signed up. This has just been too much fun!

Dear Secret Santa, 

I'm hoping my original list was enough info & had enough ideas on it, but just in case I just added more drug store type things! 

 I'm honestly not super picky about brands...I just buy things that I think are pretty and fun! Please don't stress at all about shopping for me...I'm going to LOVE IT. 

Happy Shopping!

Love, Allison

Me too!

Dear SS,

    I don't expect to you make a high end purchase. If you have unwanted GWP cosmetics from any of your dept. store brands laying around that you don't want, I would love to have them. My list are hints not demands /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

   I don't live near a Target, Sonia Kashuk would be a treat for me. So would Flower Cosmetics as my WalMart doesn't carry that line.

    Relax, enjoy, I will appreciate whatever I get.

Kristine

In a moment of fed up ness, I put whipped cream on one and not I another and say "That's the top half." Because wtf who needs 7 extra pumps of sweetener and why are you mean to me.

That is now how we make drinks cut in half in my store and my boyfriends store.

In DT stores the person at the window is almost never the person who made your drink but they should've caught that.

That would make me so mad! I hate when any place gets my order wrong especially when I tell them my order more than once!! And to say that there is no coffee when he knows there is! That is awesome that the manager gave you your money back and that your boys got their own though! My Starbucks just brushes their mistakes off like it is nothing -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I tell him my order again, and tell him its for my boys-"1 tall caramel brulee cream frap with whip in 2 tall cups with flat lids". He comes back with fraps that look a little too dark for creme fraps. I ask him "do these have coffee in them?" he looked at me and said "no, no, you're good". I drove away, stuck a straw in one of the cups and tasted it. Guess what-fricken coffee in them...grrrr
I did a turn around in the middle of the street, drove back, parked my car, and marched in with my kids. The mgr gave me all of my money back and gave each of my boys their own creme frap. Talk about an inconvenience!!!!!! It took me 3 times to get the order right.... rant over....
I love sugar and 7 pumps is just way too much.

Right...less disturbing in something like tea (I like tea sweetened but personally not THAT sweet, but my brother lives in TN and he is alllll about the sweet tea) but a strawberries n cream frap is already super sweet without those 7 extra pumps, yeesh.
