(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[dotybird]

I don't think I've seen this question yet, so here we go! If you were to get something in your package that wasn't makeup or a beauty product, what would you be over the moon to see? For example, I LOVE jewelry, scarves, cookbooks, tea, candles, cookies, and chocolate. I would also love to see anything that is regional or local to you.

I love scarves, knit items (cowl, mittens, hat), herbal teas, salted caramels, toffee, cookbooks, handmade items (isn't there someone here who makes their own perfumes? I would love that!), jewelry, hair clips, etc....

I'm really hoping everyone makes a wish list before we're assigned secret santas.  From stalking (hehe) today, there's a lot of the 100+ participants without them.

I don't own any infinity scarves and would love to have one (or two) for indoors or big fuzzy ones for outdoors. I love candles. I like chocolates, but I am a type 1 diabetic so I prefer not to get too much food type stuff... I'm kinda restricted and it tempts me.

ok-here is my question... If I am your secret santa and send you an over the top, fab gift would you: a)prefer everything wrapped individually or B) have a huge smorgasboard to look at AND would you prefer to: a) open each gift slowly and methodically or B) tear everything open like a mad woman

I would like everything wrapped individually so I can tear everything open like a mad women. I must warn my Santee that I suck at wrapping presents. It's embarrassing. Every year I invite my little nieces & nephews to help wrap a few presents, that way I can blame the horrible gift wrapping on the kids. I know I'm an evil aunt but I can't help it lol.

Finally caught up reading. And there are so many great questions. I'm going to try to update my profile list tonight when I'm not on my phone. I love the chevron craze. My house is all neutrals, mostly shades of brown with black furniture. I love purple and turquoise but my husband doesn't lol. I once had a light purple kitchen and loved it! I collect elephants and angels. I actually painted a giant purple and turquoise cross stitch elephant on my office wall when I first set it up. I work from home, so "office appropriate" isn't a concern. I'm trying to convince my husband I should cut my hair short and dye it black, blue and purple, but the idea freaks him out, lol. I wear all colours of makeup and love to experiment (really into pinks and purples lately). We are pet free, although if we leave our patio door open for more than 3 hours, one f the neighbours cats will wander in, lol. I always wear mascara and eye shadow. Never lip products other than balm. Never perfume because it seems wasted at home. I'm a Sefora virgin and UD virgin and Lush virgin. I'm a clearance shopper myself, it almost hurts to pay full price for anything. I'm in Canada so don't have most of the stores you ladies rave about (Ulta). I love chocolate. I'm crafty, and go through phases of what I do. I knit and cross stitch and make jewelry. My current obsession is beaded wrap bracelets. Other than a newish makeup obsession, my life mostly revolves around books. I've had a book blog for almost 3 years, and read almost everything. Never read Twilight or Harry potter though.

What scents do you like: Sweet scents! The sweeter the better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> What scents do you not like: musky scents What makeup item can you not use at all: Liquid liner What makeup item do you ise every day: Eyeliner & tinted Lip balm What colors do you avoid: Red, yellow & glitter (even though it's not a color) How would you describe your style of makeup? Most of the time, I like neutral eyeshadow and bold lips. Sometimes I use bold eyeliner & neutral lips. I'm trying to experiment with more colorful eyeshadow. What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)? Generally: Green, purple Makeup: pink, light browns. I love purple eyeliner. What colors do you use most in your apartment decoration? Brown & green Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand? NYX I have a lot of the UD eyeliners from when they were on sale. For those of you that have a lot of makeup, I would like to suggest maybe creating a list of the makeup you own. That way you can diminish the chances of getting something you already own.

If you were to get something in your package that wasn't makeup or a beauty product, what would you be over the moon to see? I would love to get warm socks and cute hats and gloves because winter is coming, John Snow. I would love tea and Keurig k cups. If you make anything and are into crafting, I would love anything... I'd also like candles. Also, if you live somewhere where it's really cold and you have something that's a pick-me-up for cold days, I'd love it.

This thread went *boom* while I was working, so I just left it alone until I got home!  I'm going to work on my answers tonight and just put the answers in my list since that's already up.  

 

[Tiffany27la]

Can someone please remind me how to post a spoiler?? I'm trying not to clog up the thread!
