Great idea!

Uh Huh Her
Funny thing: I realized that a lot of these were already addressed in my list! I'm just going to tack the ones I didn't already answer on the end. I have a serious case of SQUIRREL!, so it would behoove Santees to just put all of this stuff in their own lists so I don't get distracted and sidetracked going through all of these posts. One list on one post = focused attention!

I will do this too especially because I answered many of the questions individually!

I couldn't figure out how get the official list to work the way I wanted it to work, so I bailed on that and just created a second classified. It's in my signature, and I think you do need to view the desktop version in order to see signatures. You can also see if someone has created a classified (Secret Santa or just trades/sales) by going to the profile and clicking on the Threads Started option (I think that's how you get to it). Once things go live and official, maybe we should have another thread with just our wishlist links posted there. No discussion, just the links.
Yes!!! Colored pens and felt tip marker pens LOVE!!! I use them at work and somehow they always go missing. Hate boring black pens, and that's pretty much all that's left once all my employees use up all my pretties!!

Gingerbread. I <3 anything that smells/tastes like gingerbread.

I want to go to there
I love all these questions you guys came up with. I am adding these to my secret santa list. I can't wait to find out who my SS is! I have birchbox points, coupons, and lists burning a hole in my pocket!
Omg seriously missed ONE day of reading this thread (so incredibly busy at work yesterday) and I feel like I missed a TON of info. Trying to catch up. Here's my answers to most of the questions. I know I missed some others, but I'll have to go back and read through again. Ahhh! I can't miss another day of thread reading though! LOL 
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)? -General favorite colors: Turquoise shades, purples, hot pinks, gray and black. -Makeup colors: For eyes I love neutrals like sand, tan, almost peachy colors that have shimmer but not glitter and also smokey colors like silver, light slate type colors. For lips I love sheers, light pinks, peachy or anything that gives just the slightest hint of color or clear is good too. Nail polish is all fair game except maybe yellow. Cheeks any color that will really show up, I have olive tan skin tone and sometimes blush just doesn't show up on me. No green at all for any makeup. I'm too olive and I'll end up looking like Kermit the Frog. Mascara, just black. No colors. I can't do it. Lol. Eyeliner, black, dark brown and I haven't used colored eyeliner before because I just don't know if it's me. But I kinda want to try it. I have very light icy blue eyes so I don't really know what would look good without looking insane. What colors do you use most in your home decoration? -My homes living room is turquoises, light tiffany blues, tans, browns. Dark brown/black furniture and hardwood floor. Kitchen all kinds of fun bright colors, Fiestaware in every color pretty much can't go wrong. Bedroom is pretty much same colors as living room with a touch of pale yellow. Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand? -I have a lot of a variety. But even if I have a lot of something, that means I love it and can always use more. So even if I already have something, I'd never be upset with receiving another /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 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 -I'm fine with either. I understand some people are crafty or good with wrapping. So it's really up to my secret Santa. AND would you prefer to: a) open each gift slowly and methodically or B) tear everything open like a mad woman -I'm a mad woman. Nothing slow and methodical about me. Lol. What scents do you like: -I like clean, earthy (not patchouli earthy, more like sandalwood earthy) fresh type scents. I like floral but not overpowering girly floral smells. Love lavender and herbal type scents. What scents do you not like: -I don't have a very sensitive nose but ugh I hate old lady powdery smells. Gag!!! What makeup item can you not use at all: -lipstick and lip liner. Not happening. What makeup item do you ise every day: -liquid eyeliner pens, black mascara, blush, mineral powder foundation, eyebrow product, and eyeshadow. What colors do you avoid: Green! I like green but I can't wear green clothes or green makeup. I'm too olive. I had to wear a green and navy plaid skirt and green sweater for my uniform almost my entire schooling K-12. So never ever again. How would you describe your style of makeup? -Classic and glam. But classic glam if that makes sense. Like old Hollywood maybe? I work in fashion so nothing scares me but sometimes I like more classic makeup with the more trendy, crazy fashion I sometimes wear. But on my days off, makeup stays the same and I'm wearing yoga leggings and gym clothes. What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples? -I'm cool with whatever. And I'm good with swatched things as long as I'm not getting a gross half used something. What kind of extras would make your day? -Non makeup related extras like candles, candy, chocolate, anything local to you, colored pens/felt tip markers, infinity scarf, kitty treats/toys. What ONE PRODUCT (not brand or color in particular, just product) do you use more than any other? (What runs out the quickest in your make-up drawer?) -Black liquid pen type eyeliners You just won a $50 giftcard to Birchbox/Target/or insert your favorite beauty store here....What's the first thing you want to buy??? -This is so hard. I love so many things. Hmmmm. Probably Kate Spade or Tory Burch and I would put it towards a new makeup bag that is big enough to hold my daily makeup but small enough to carry in my (huge) handbag. Lol.

I think my main question or request would be for everyone to fill in their profiles a little! I want to be able to get my SS something they really want but I don't just want to see their wishlist, I want to feel like I am getting something for a friend...
So my question is:
Would everyone please add a bit of personal info to their profile?

I mean, I don't want to sound like a jerk but I want to feel a connection when buying for my SS, I don't just want to pick from a list of items that they request, ya know? Otherwise this is just charity and not that much fun....
No offense to anyone and this isn't directed at anyone either, I just think it is an important aspect of Secret Santa that might be overlooked due to excitement over wish lists...

I've done this as well now.
Watch me get someone as my SS who isn't a stalker /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> All these answers then for nothing!
