(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[tweakabell]

I've gotten to know everyone on this board now I wanna send gifts out to everyone, oh and next year I need more than a $25 limit. We can still keep the $25 one for people on a strict budget but I need to roam free, man... I keep going oooh and that and that and that....

Good idea, anyone who is rich should be able to get an extra name. So people can get extra gifts. LOL.  A real santa /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Ah, a girl can dream...

Even for my secret santa, I'd have a hard time giving them my money!
YES YES YES. I've stopped at MAC counters and free standing stores in LA, SF, Sacramento, DC, Nashville, Chicago, Milwaukee...pretty much EVERYWHERE and they've all always been incredibly rude. I tried to get MAC to like me/to get myself to like MAC when I was first getting into make up and I've always been passed over and the friend I'm shopping with usually gets all the attention /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But, that's ok, I know better now anyway. I don't really get why all my friends are into MAC.

Yeah I think maybe we could have two groups, one who is committed to staying between 20 and 25 dollars and a group who is willing to commit to spend closer to $50.  I think for my SS I am going to (just) manage to stay under $30, but my for my nails person I am waaaaay over.

I've already bought 3 things for my SS and I'm still going at it! Whoohooo!

 

[DorotaD]

I am so excited to shop for my SS!!! It's the most wonderful time of the yeaaarrr

 

[Bflopolska]

What candies and baked goods do you especially like? Anything minty or mint chocolate, fudge, brownies, rise crispy treats, Italian cookies and cannolis (I miss living in Chicago! There are NO Italian bakeries in Denver) Is there a thriving sponge candy tradition in Chicago? In Buffalo it's a big cold-weather thing!

 

[Bflopolska]

Messed that up!

 

[LadyK]

Okay, shopping trip all planned for tomorrow.  I think I'll be able to stay close to my budget but probably not.  Too much fun!

 

[chelsealady]

Been playing cart Tetris. Trying to decide on just what to get. Probably will place and order or two tomorrow.

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I know every single extra that I'm going to or have purchased for my SS but because of the lack of wishlist, I'm really stuck on what big item I want to get them. Having a wishlist and answering questions should be a requirement for SS.

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Ooooh man, I want to buy her ALL THE THINGS.

I just came back home to Sac from Albuquerque after 6 years, are they truly rude here too? The MAC in ABQ is in a place called ABQ Uptown that is filled with fairly snooty stores (some sweet ones too, I never had an issue at L'Occitane).

I agree. I hope I answered enough of the questions to helpful for my secret santa.

I agree on the wishlist should be a requirment!  My santee? santa is super secretive and lack of anything to go on stresses me out!  I like pink, what if she hates it?  I hate foundation and do not know how to buy it, what if she loves it?

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I didn't even look at your wishlist but your profile, even though it isn't rambling on, is still more information than I can collect about my SS on the entire site. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I missed home so bad I insisted on coming back when my husband finished his schooling. If I was going to be miserable with him gone I was going to be home. I grew up right behind Highlands High School.
