Yeah, making a wish list is weird!

So a lot of things on my list are out of the price range, but I included them so they can figure out my "style". /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Yep this is how mine is too. I put a TON of ideas/info on it, but it's not really a shopping list so much as a 'get to know me' list. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's what I tried to do in my list too. More about getting to know me than a shipping list.

Thank you for reminding me I needed to add Chocolate to my Secret Santa loves on my wish list!  Do not know how I forgot that!

I've been reading SS wishlists and figuring out what I would give that person. And I have a stupid question:

Is it okay to give one or two big ticket items (UD shadow, high end nail polish, high end mascara, high end perfume) if someone has those kinds of items on their specific list? Should I worry about quantity?

I would feel bad if my person opens their box and sees 2 UD Moondust shadows (+chocolate) when others got 5-10 items. I'm worried about failing my SS assignment

I would much rather get 1-2 things I really really want than a bunch of little things (except candy. Or I will also accept a box of candy). That's just kinda how I am though!

I think it really depends on the person. some people like a big slpurg item they would never buy for thrm selves and some people like a bunch of little things. kinda see what's on thire list if it is all high end stuff then I think one or two things is perfect.

OMG! Yum!  

I love candy and sweets, but I'm trying hard to cut back. I work at a bakery now so that doesn't help LOL. I want to lose weight for my wedding haha. But I do love some Ghiradelli Peppermint Bark!!

My philosophy:  If someone puts a big-ticket item on their list, they *are* very much okay with getting one big-ticket item.  I mean, the limit *is* $25.  I don't see any point in putting a high-dollar item on a list if you're *not* okay with that being your one-and-only item.

As far as quantity, I really don't care! And I honestly don't think it's about that. I think as long as it shows that you looked at that person and put some thought into what she might like, you'll be golden.  I have some extras I will be throwing in if it seems like those extras will suit my person, but whether I go with one or two main items or a few smaller ones totally depends on who I get and what they like!  And I think most people will be over the moon just at getting a thoughtful surprise /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Where are people supposed to be putting their lists? I'm new to this!

^^^^ALL of this^^^^^

@Bflopolska - essentially anything you want. Take a look at a few lists and see if that helps..

 

[meaganola]

Aaargh!  How in the world do I think my SeSa list in my signature?  I have clearly done this in the past, but when I go in to edit my signature now, I get a popup with just the top line of my signature (blog, link, Instagram) in a basic editor (I do not know html!).  The bottom part with the empty photo box isn't in there, and when I try to convert to rich editor, it doesn't do anything.  I am clearly missing something, but I can't figure out what!  Help, please?

For al of your crafty people, a homemade z-palette would be such a nice extra! I am not crafty at all but have been loving all the homemade ones I've seen on MuT!
