I know these come in the questions for registering, but i thought we could elaborate!

What do you enjoy?

Whats something that doesnt cost more than $20 you want but wouldnt normally buy yourself?
I know i have some things where im like man i want that but need the $20 for something else!

This is a very good idea!!!!!

What do you like doing for fun? - I love reading, spending time with the family, playing with our pets and watching DVD's. I also knit (working on a patchwork blanket for Maddie at the moment) and I do cross stitch and scrapbooking.

Do you collect anything? other than pets? hehehe, ummmm, I don't really collect anything. hmmmm.

Whats something you want that is no more than $20 that you wouldnt buy normally? Bath or beauty stuff. I love to pamper myself but hardly ever buy stuff to do it. My nail polish collection is shameful as much as I love them! I'd love to get some cat related scrapbooking stickers etc but it's not high on our list of priorties so would probably get shoved aside for months! I also love funky wool - especially variegated but again it would probably not happen for months.

Hope that helps!

Guess i should do it myself too.

What do you enjoy? I really enjoy baking and cooking. I have just bought all Jamie ollivers cookbooks and love my new found passion!

Whats something that doesnt cost more than $20 you want but wouldnt normally buy yourself? Hmmmm, Probably a baking book, or a recipe folder for me to put all my ones in, or some bath pampering stuff.. Lollies, or chocolates, i hate peanuts though, but i LOVE green lollies, especially lime fruit bursts lol, oh and cookie cutters, i would love some girly ones!

What do you enjoy? Sleeping, hanging with my family, reading, spending time in the sun, sewing (well, I enjoy the finished product rather than the sewing itself), painting.

What do you like to collect? Nothing

Whats something that doesnt cost more than $20 you want but wouldnt normally buy yourself? The list could go on but here's a few ideas: lush bubble bar, a new cookbook, a pair of jandals (size small), lollies, stuff to start scrapbooking with, stuff for my foot spa. 

ETA: I really want a set of plastic cookie cutters for when I do baking with Michaela (thanks for reminding me Weegee).

I'm sure whatever my secret santa chooses, whether from the list or not, will be fabulous

What do you enjoy?
I enjoy cooking, particularly baking... I seem to have been spending a lot of time decorating cakes lately . I enoy spending time in the garden, too - especially now it's got a little warmer.

What do you like to collect?
Rubber ducks! No, seriously - I think they're cute. My little brothers and sisters like playing with them too. I've also got a bit of a collection of christmas ornaments, and I guess you could say I collect cake decorating stuff, since I've got enough of it!

Whats something that doesnt cost more than $20 you want but wouldnt normally buy yourself?
LOL - before TTC if I had a spare $20, I would have spent it $3 at a time on diet coke. I can't really buy them often or I'd go broke, but they were my treat. Now I've gone off caffeine *sigh*. So that's not much help! Probably edible goodies... or, after reading minik8e's post - socks! I like socks...and too many of mine have holes!

Great idea, I know I was horribly uncommunicative with mine, and hoping my SS posts here too!

What do I enjoy? swimming, hockey, sewing, cooking, reading, doing any kind of logic puzzle, shopping.

What do I collect? I have a massive stash of fabrics that I should really do something with but never seem to get around to it, but I still keep collecting them, especially deep colours (I think the last fashion season they were called "jewel brights") and nice textures. I also keep collecting recipe books, I love randomly reading and drooling over them, you can never have too many cookbooks.

What's something that doesn't cost more than $20 I want but wouldn't normally buy myself? Hmmm I never buy myself jewellery. I also love Home and Garden type magazines. I've wanted a copy of the OHbaby magazine for a while, haven't even seen any issue, and can't really justify it I need a piping set for cooking/baking/icing! Would also love some shaped cookie cutters (like gingerbread men) I'm really not much of a fan of anything smelly

ETA: oh, excellent, I see mine HAS posted already! Thanks KylahsMum!

What do you enjoy?
Sleep. SLEEEEP. Also cooking and baking (and eating), pretending to garden, annoying my cats, trivia, playing with my paper stash without actually producing anything. Christmas!

Mountains of crap I don't need. Plus I seem to have accumulated a bunch of cat themed stuff over the years that I don't actually want. Besides that, nothing special.

A new bucket hat for summer (yep, high fashion)... a keyring, photo frame, magnets, windchimes, cute cookie cutters or other cake decoratey bits n bobs. I really don't need bath stuff because I got given a heap from work when I went on leave. :D

HTH SS, wherever you are.

What do you enjoy? Baking, Cooking, spending time with the family. Use to be reading but these days I am lucky if I can read like 3 books in a year.

What do you like to collect? Nothing really that someone else can get me.

Whats something that doesn't cost more than $20 you want but wouldnt normally buy yourself? Perhaps really cool Christmas decorations, or scrubs or some facial stuff.

I am really easy. If it is bubblebath however my child will claim it as hers just like she did at my birthday. This kid seriously just loves creams and bubble baths and have it on her list of what she wants for her birthday and Christmas over anything toy related.

They used to make white chocolate ones, and my DH loved them. I think they must have stopped making them, cos I can't find them now.

What do you enjoy? Crafts, beading, mosaic, glass crafts, although never get time to do them, reading, pampering, cooking and reading about cooking
What do you collect? Dust...... nothing really, I love glass beads and tiles, but the collection is purely cos i don't get the time to do anything with them anymore. chocolate, soaps etc, I love nice shampoo and stuff, have very long hair so love scarfs, ties etc
Hate dust gatherers, that's what my mother sends me every year, also with Annie I hate fairies, dragons, crystals and that sort of stuff.
So that's me

I have too many dust collectors. But I continue to collect them. I am selective, though... I have a friend who collects $2shop ornaments and they make me cringe.

Ok thought I better post in here ...

What do you enjoy?

Painting, scrap booking (although hardly ever get the time)

What do you like to collect?
LOVE artsy things ...or statues ie. wooden cats that stand in your lounge etc. Anything I can paint on, I love. (I use acrylics). Don't really collect anything or have any REAL hobbies now that I think about it ...

Whats something that doesn't cost more than $20 you want but wouldn't normally buy yourself?

A LOT of things ...haven't bought myself something in AGES! Let's see...

I could do with:

*A 2009 Diary, 1 day to a page.
*Something wooden that I can paint, I like to be creative ...
I also LOVE little wooden characters, animals, lettering etc etc (think along the lines of spotlight)
*A pretty diamante/decorative headband ...not the material ones, but the old jackie band style thats made of wire/metal iykwim (I'd REALLY like one of these if you can find one, chemists etc usually have 'em)



I don't do:
*Ornaments or little dust collectors ...rocks etc - I'm allergic to dust!
*Make up (UNLESS its gorgeous green/brown sparkly eye shadow for hazel eyes ...i haven't found anything to my liking yet!
*Jewelery ...never wear it tbh so don't waste your money...
*Chocolates ...have to buy my own as I have to be careful due to nut allergies etc.

I still don't know who my SS is lol ...but im hoping she's posted in here too!

oh whoops better answer these questions

What do you enjoy?
cross-stich, reading books (Lesley Pearce style is my fav but love all books).

What do you like to collect?
I've recently started collecting DVDs (I'm not a fan of scary movies lol). My DH thinks I'm a hoarder though so try not to collect much else!

Whats something that doesn't cost more than $20 you want but wouldn't normally buy yourself?
Hmm... forerro rocher chocolate! I love it but seldom buy it (because when I do, it doesn't last long!!)

I don't do:
Cats (I'm allergic) (not that anyone would buy someone a cat for a secret santa present haha)

that's all really, not too fussy!

I have a question though... when we send these do we put a sender address?! I want to make sure it comes back to me if it's undeliverable for some reason so it's not just lost in the post, but don't want to give the game away!

Whoever my SS is, please no chocolate!!!! and no stuff for the body, as I have really sensitive skin, and quite fussy about what I buy and put on it.

I'm quite hard to buy for, as I have enough gardening stuff, don't need anymore books, don't like ornaments at all, and when it comes to food, I am also fussy in that department

But I wouldn't mind a new wallet/purse preferably red, not made of leather, not shiny, simple and stylish. Something that doesn't have bows on it, and can hold about a fair amount of plastic and receipts. My current one is just about ready to die.

I know, I am fussy... oh well
