 Topic: Secret Santa Presents?
Posted: 03 November 2008 at 11:30am |
|
Since its secret santa time again.. and i remember starting this same thread last year.. my how time flies, i thought we could get some hints for secret santa..
I know these come in the questions for registering, but i thought we could elaborate!
What do you enjoy?
What do you like to collect?
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!
The point is.. i'll know nothing about my SS and im hoping she will come in here and give me an idea??!
Edited, because i realized i messed it up!

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!
What do you like to collect? I like collecting cookbooks, and scrapbooking stuff, although i have HEAPS of scrapbooking stuff i do nothing with. Also photo albums, i have about 1000 photos in need of albums lol
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!
