 Topic: Secret santa presents..
Posted: 12 October 2007 at 2:18pm |
Ok, so i was thinking what is an inconspicuous (sp?) way of finding out what my secret santa match likes.. So i thought id start a thread for people to say what they like doing..
i know these questions were asked for the initial questions for SS but some need to elaborate..
What do you like doing for fun?
Do you collect anything?
Whats something you want that is no more than $20 that you wouldnt buy normally?
What do you do for fun?
The point is.. i know nothing about my SS and im hoping she will come in here and give me an idea??!

Great idea! But you should answer your own questions cos your secret santa might be in the same predicament!
So for my SS just incase you are stuck....
For fun...hmm well I have just done a wine appreciation course and loved it so totally into anything to do with that, accessories etc....
Dont really collect anything but i do love black and white photos of things, like babies, animals etc.. and have a few of those around the house.
I have a thing about spending money on pampering things like face masks, nail polishes, hair stuff.... Im addicted to it. If somethings says it will make my hair shinier, defrizz etc.... my skin clearer or radiant or my cuticles disappears chances are I'll buy it...Im such a sucker!
And as I said on my questioneer, dont over think it, Im honestly the easiest person to buy for cos I love anything and everything.

Great idea, Kandice...I don't think I was very elaborate in my answers either...  (oops)
A bit about me...I'm 28 (eek!), DH is 27, Bella is 3 months. We live in a really small town where theres not much to do, so in my spare time I love to bake, go out to cafes, I love reading, I'm into anything alternative (aromatherapy, reiki, crystals, spiritualism, natural therapies, etc.), spending time at home with DH and DD, love to travel (but don't do so much because we can't afford it anymore), watching romantic-comedies on TV, and catching up with family.
My favourite sort of books to read are murder-mysteries, maeve binchy, or the 'classics'.
What do you like doing for fun?
Mostly going out with friends/family for a good catch up and some good food.
Do you collect anything?
Apart from MCN's'...!!
Hope that helps a little (if my secret santa reads this...)

Great idea Kylahsmum!!
What do you like doing for fun?At the moment gardening and reading any good books, I currently learning there is a whole other world of books that aren't written by Danielle Steel or Maeve Binchy!
Do you collect anything?
I guess you could say I collect photo frames because I absolutely love putting photos everywhere.
Whats something you want that is no more than $20 that you wouldnt buy normally? Probably some nice hand cream or nail stuff for after I've been gardening, also I am completely in love with the body shop body wash range but never go there anymore. Or chocolate...any chocolate..lots of chocolate!
What do you do for fun? I know it sounds boring but I spend time with the family, travel, or take the dogs for a walk.
I have no idea for my SS either so I've got my finger crossed the person in question will fill this out too!

This is good, I hope mine sees this and replies.
What do you like doing for fun? At the moment we are into the garden - vege and flower, and walking.
Do you collect anything? Nope
Whats something you want that is no more than $20 that you wouldnt buy normally? Can't really think on anything as we went through the bathroom cupboard and found out we have far too many shower gels, moisturisers etc. The only thing I really want its over $20 thou is the Greys 2nd series on DVD - i'm hoping I get it for my birthday.
What do you do for fun? The garden and I also play a brass instrument in Feilding Brass

What a wicked idea!
What do you like doing for fun? Reading, going to speedway (DP races), shopping on TradeMe 
Do you collect anything? Not really. I love things that are bright and cheerful (hence why Mum just bought children's material for my kitchen curtains - I looooove bright and colourful things, especially red)
Whats something you want that is no more than $20 that you wouldnt buy normally? Hrmmm, a book or something. I love Marion Keyes, Janet Evanovich, Lesley Pearce, Zoe Barnes, Cathy Elliott....chick lit!! Or some nice skincare stuff, I always look at it and then decide against it.

Hi! DP=Dear Partner. You'll also come across DF (fiance), DH (husband), DS (son), DSD (step-daughter) etc. There's a whole list in a sticky post somewhere but feel free to just ask!
If you wanna join the secret santa group for Christmas, just flick a private message (PM) to Mum2Paris and she'll get you sorted out

I'm 27, DH is 30, this is out first baby and he is 4 months. We are English but moved here 3 1/2 years ago and love it. I'm on maternity leave at the moment but my occupation is Electrician.
For fun - playing with Spencer, Soaking in the tub, training and showing my dogs, reading, tv, ohbaby, going out for coffee. Oh I also make jewellery as a hobby business type thing.
Collect - animals, we have 4 cats and 2 dogs, don't send another one though we have enough!!!!
Less than $20 - Suntan lotion from the health shop, i'm so pale I only need to see a picture of the sun and I burn. Bio Oil - DH has used all mine. Anything from Lush or anything that is cosmeticy but all natural.

I was thinking about this yesterday but couldn't work out how best to apply it - genius idea kylahs mummy  I was one of those awful people that gave my SS virtually nothing to work with
I absolutely love quiet time with a cup of tea (sounds silly, but I love leaf teas and brewing a leaf tea and then spenidn gtime enjoying it? Bliss! ) and I love tea cups, although I haven't collected any (one of the few things I *haven't* collected! ).
I love pottery - absolutely love it, but in Auckland it's one of those things that aren't readily available. I love the older style heavy stuff ... it's lovely.
One of my indulgences is hand cream. I always have a hand cream in my bag, and it's one of my favourite treats.
I don't collect anything really, but I love French-country themed things.
For fun? My fun time is relaxing - having a cup or tea or coffee, walking my dogs at the park, having a shower and just enjoying some quiet alone time. Bizzarely, I love cleaning my house (lucky because I do it A LOT with DH around!! ) ... well, the result of cleaning anyway! I love to potter I suppose would be the best thing to say. I'm all about the pottering!
...erm ... I'll come back in if I think of anything else??
