To create a list:

1. Click on your username at the top right of your screen (on PC/desktop version).
2. Scroll down to near the bottom. You'll see Your Forum Signature then below that Your Lists. Click on Create a new list.
3. Title it "My Secret Santa Wish List". List type can be set to anything, mine is set to makeup but that's just the default since this is the first time we're using the lists for a different reason than how it was originally intended.
4. Click on Submit.
5. Add pictures and add content. If you want to add the Secret Santa girl image to be your default list pic here is the url for it:
   https://www.makeuptalk.com/image/id/1485810

Because the list items are tied to items in the Reviews database if what you want to add is NOT showing up PM me the item so I can add it to the database. Newer products will most likely not be in the database.

If you don't want to create a list you can use the Buy/Sell/Trade forum and list your wanted items there and link to the signature as well. Which ever way works for you. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Just quoting in case anyone else was hunting for these instructions /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Time to make my wish list!


Quoting again for @amdoerr ! 

ETA:  to add the list to your signature, just go to your profile (click on your username in the upper right-hand corner) scroll down to the signature section, click "Edit", use one of the three drop-down selectors to find your list, then click "Preview" and "Save".  It should show up in your signature on all posts!

SOMEONE HELP ME

I'm ready to start shopping too!  I dunno if my bank account is.. but I sure am! Whoever was talking about LUSH- I want all the LUSH things, except bath bombs, as I don't have a bathtub /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I do have an awesome shower with a steamer and a seat though! I keep walking into all these stores and going "oh I want to get her this.. and this... and this.... but what if she doesn't like any of it

Hopefully I'll get you!! I think LUSH shopping is the easiest and most fun! At Sephora this weekend I realized my biggest worry is that my person would already have the things I buy her /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  At least with LUSH stuff its still fabulous and fun and having multiples of awesome LUSH products isn't as awful as having 2 of the same palettes.

Albuquerque finally got a Lush store last year and I put off going there, even though I was so excited when we got one. This summer we moved and it's now 4 hours away so I've never gone. Plus in our house in Abq we installed a glorious jacuzzi tub which I used all the time. Here our house doesn't have a tub. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I went to a Lush in Chicago 5 years ago and got one of their massage bars, which was amazing! I'm regretting not going when it was 20 min away. I really want another massage bar.

Those are the best.

I am starting my research now! Reading what everybody else wants is making me rethink what to put on my wishlist! I wonder if Zadi would let me get a "Harry Potter" giftee..I'm going to Universal and how I would love to buy a box of Bertie Botts for my giftee!! Or a chocolate frog!...

I'm going to Universal later this month, and I was thinking the same exact thing!

I am not sure what I will get my ss but I know it will be very nice. I usually end up spending more cause I want it to be just right. My rule is would I want it. I have been trying to get samples from several stores so I can make a sample kit as an extra. I am leaning towards one really nice gift and just some small extras I pick up. I don't know.

That sounds like a perfect way to go about choosing a gift! I may have to do the same

 

[slinka]

I (unfortunately) don't have extra money to be picking up things just in case (well, I don't have it now because I did that a while back! Lol...now I'm saving the money for things I know for sure they'll love) so I'm eagerly waiting to find out who my lucky lady (or man) is so I can start stalking their e-presence and I hope hope hope these good deals/specials keep on comin! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think its probably a good thing my closest Lush is in Milwaukee. I have a feeling its a store I'd wander into a lot & spend all my money in! I've only ever tried one of their bubble bars, but it was FABULOUS. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You and I can have a Lush/Mayfair Mall shopping extravaganza! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i liked it better when it was in Macy's beause it was way roomier and had a better feel to it. I dont mind the free standing store now, but I feel HUGE walking through the narrow space and it gets really, really packed.

I think that's how it would be for me, too! I do that with places like Bath & Body Works already, so it's probably good there isn't a LUSH around me, since I want to try it so much I'd just go crazy everytime I was near it!

I think next year we should assign earlier. Sephora and ulta 20% off will both pass before we are assigned. I hate missing those sales!

That would be wonderful if it's possible.

Same! I would love getting some harry potter goodies. That will at least hold me over until I can eventually make my way to the theme park!

Agreed! Harry Potter is amazing! Though I absolutely hate those stupid Bertie Botts jelly beans. Had a bad experience with them a while back. Why does the vomit flavor and fruity tutti flavor have to be so close in color?? Bleh. Lol

Omg, lol, that's horrible! I love Bertie Botts though because it's the only place you can get fresh cut grass jelly beans, and i LOVE those! Sounds weird but they are sooo yummy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
