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 think that's sweet of you.  You're basically wanting to give your SS something that feels personal and that you know she'll enjoy.

HAHAHAHA! I may have plenty of friends but for some reason none of them appreciate makeup, which to me is as bad as having no friends.

I think most people who are posting feel that way, actually.  I don't think it's exactly charity either way though-- everyone is choosing to take their $25, which they do have, and spend it on someone else, instead of on themselves, in order to get the same $25 back, but with an element of surprise.

  I've done this as well now. 

Watch me get someone as my SS who isn't a stalker :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> All these answers then for nothing!
I thought we were all stalkers.

Thank you! That's exactly how I mean it too! I am more than willing to get my SS something off of their wishlist but I also want to throw in things that would mean a lot to them. For instance, if I got @tweakabell (who, I believe her husband is deployed) I would send her something inspiring and possibly military related.

 
Army-contracted helicopter mechanic. Gone 4-8 months at a time, lives on a base in Afghanistan. I try to be very careful to make it clear he's not in service (not that we didn't fucking try, but that's a whole other story. Now they just have to pay out the nose for him, hehehe sorry poetic justice made me mad for a second).

Well, service or not, he is still doing something that helps serve our military, which is honorable as well....

My husband and I are high school sweethearts as well! We've almost been married 5 years now.
 
So many posts!  I finally caught up on reading all the posts!  I will update my list with questions later today.  I'm so excited for tomorrow to find out who my SS is

Ahhh me too! My husband and I are also HS sweethearts. Been together for 15 years, but only married for just a little over a year now. It's crazy to think we've been in each other's lives for exactly half of our own lives.

Annnnd people say high school love doesn't last. pssshhhhhh!

 
You ladies were clearly better judges of men than I was in high school!  I thank my lucky stars that I didn't marry my high school (or college) boyfriend.  I don't think I knew who I was or what I wanted yet.    

 
Yay, we do still exist! We've been best friends for 12 years. People kept telling me when we got married that we were too young, I've now been married longer than almost every other person in my family.

I love your SS wish list. It's written in a way that really expresses a lot about your character/personality.  So fun.  Oh, and I'm almost 32 but dreaded turning 30 too.  Truth is being in your thirties is really great.  You'll see.

 
I didn't marry my HS sweetheart but I did marry the guy I met when I was 18 (we met like a month into when I started college). We have been married 11 years. If anyone had told me I would meet my husband at 18 I would have laughed but somehow it works! Still is crazy to me when i think about it too much though!
