I think that sounds awesome. I for example love hot chocolate.... or chocolate in General. You pack some chocolate in that gift and it will make my day. I love the little things that show how thoughtful you are. I am also a fan of handmade things, so if you are crafty, go for it!

I wish I was creative/talented enough to make a homemade gift.

I like that idea. Like "I sawon the birchbox thread you wanted to get product A but ended up withB so I got you A!"

I can't wait for this! I think I missed out on last year's because I found out about it too late.

I have a suggestion. Should we maybe list allergies?

Like some people maybe be allergic to chocolate (egads!) or nuts.

I'm allergic to the jewelry from places like claires. I think I can wear high grade sterling silver though.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!

 

[zadidoll]

Absolutely. Sensitives and allergies should be listed including anyone in the home just in case their allergy is tripped by something you get.

I loooove the Peppermint Bark chocolate! Now you knwo I have to try the Hershey's. Yeah Sugar really doen't do me any good, it makes me hyper like a kid but it's just soooo yummy!!

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

There's a Ghirardelli outlet near by and they have pepper mint bark year round on super discount. I don't even care that it's "old" whenever I'm at that outlet I buy myself one square and the cashier just looks at me like I'm crazy.

yes you can..its easy to make, mix sugar, oil of your choice(i like almond,olive or coconut), and cocoa powder....ta da! chocolate lip scrub, the sugar loosens dead skin and it won't hurt you if you lick your lips!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Um. I would buy that by the case ALL YEAR. Omg.

I have that same allergy! People think I'm being high maintenance when I say that I'm allergic to most cheap jewelry but I really am.

Me too! I wore some earrings from JCrew factory or something (they were SOOO CUTE) and my ears got all red and itchy. I haven't worn earrings since (maybe a year ago?) I hope my holes haven't closed up!

I have two pairs of really nice diamond earrings (don't be too jealous: one pair is because my mom left them to me when she died, and the other pair is because my grandmother wanted to see me wearing hers before *she* died) -- and I sometimes have reactions to *those*. I'm talking platinum posts. Not Claire's quality. Still have my more-than-three-decades-old piercings sometimes unheal when I wear them. The weird thing is that this just started about eight years ago. No clue why.
