@jannie135- if your my SS, I'm totally expecting to open my box and see cake LOL
I was TOTALLY thinking of you when I wrote that! I was going to say I should put some cake in a blender and then fill a spray bottle with it so that you could take some eau de cupcake everywhere lol... but that would be gross.

I don't think I ever realized how many people LOVE chocolate on here! I am planning on sticking a bunch of Godiva chocolates since I work there and get a discount. =)

Hmmm if my SS knits I can't say I would be upset getting a soft and fuzzy infinity scarf for this winter. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love infinity scarves! Too bad I live in AZ & it's like 70 degrees in the "winter".

I think I would have negative paychecks if I worked at Godiva...

Now I want to go to Godiva.  I love the pumpkin ones that are wrapped up with the little leaf, they're so cute!

Max Brenner! They also have amazing churros, belgian waffles and fondue. Max Brenner (along with Jacques Torres) was another place that I had originally written on the above list, but then deleted (mainly because his items tend to be pricier and it would cut into the SS budget). But, if you are my SS, I'll be sure to include some hot chocolate in the package.  

I seem to have derailed some of the SS thread into a bevy of women *drooling over* talking about NYC goodies. It makes me wonder if we should do a snack exchange in the near future...or perhaps I'll just have to form my own subscription box, which will be magically filled with Crispycakes, Cronuts (a croissant donut hybrid), Doughnut Plant creme brûlée donuts, Fat witch brownies, Laduree macarons, Max Brenner chocolates and Shake Shack concretes...any other requests?  LOL 

This sounds like a good idea!  That would be really fun.

 

[Sakura83]

I would totally want a Laduree subscription box! Or any goodies to try from other places! All this talk about sweets and treats is making my sweet tooth even sweeter, my stomach is going to hate me soon...
 
BTW 3 more days !! til our SS buddy is revealed! Can't wait to shop for my person!

 

[chelsealady]

I would like to apologize in advance to my giftee. I'm working on some Christmas crafts tonight and realized that my presents will have Corgi and cat hair included. Just think of it as an extra.

Please remember to be mindful of allergies! You don't want your ss to have a reaction to your fabulous crafts

Yeah. If I get somebody that is allergic to dogs or cats. I'll not send them.

 

[DoubleShot]

Yeah. If I get somebody that is allergic to dogs or cats. I'll not send them.

If I see dog hair on my package I would probably attempt to clone it. Corgis are preferred /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My family has both a corgi and many kitties as well but makeitupasigo has a good point, I would definitely like to know if my SS giftee is allergic for gifting purposes so I can be extra careful  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[lovepink]

Thank you ladies for the reminders about allergies!  Reminded me I need to update my information for my lack of allergies and that depending on if my SS has allergies I may not be able to get crafty (due to potential for my dogs hair getting in/on it)!

 

[LolaJay]

I WANT ALLLLL THE BROWNIES!! ETA: I'm late to the brownie party. Womp womp.

 

[meaganola]

There is no such thing as late to a brownie party as long as you bring more brownies!

I do have to say that I have a phobia about unwrapped food in the mail.  Ever since I read an article about not eating popcorn (real popcorn, not packing popcorn) used as cushioning for cookies (like care packages from your mom when you're in college, not that I ever received anything like that, but whatever) due to the possibility of carbon monoxide contaminating the popcorn, I haven't been able to bring myself to eat anything that is sent in the mail but does not come in a factory-sealed plastic wrapper.  I fully recognize it's irrational.  That's why it's a phobia.  I still can't do it.

Yes! Max Brenner! We ended up there after seeing Adam's Family on Broadway, it was sooo good!
