I’m in! I’m an artsy-fartsy jewelry slut. I like off-beat contemporary stuff. I also love cat-themed things. I collect itty bitty kitty figurines, but any kitty items would be welcome. Local stuff is wonderful, too! Whatever! Surprise me! ---

I am in. I will email you in momento. I want a used copy of Mosby’s Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference. But barring that - if there is not a used copy available that is cheap, I like nurse-y things. Because I am a nursing student and it consumes the parts of my life that are not immersed in my sons. 🙂 Even a happy nurse day card would be great. ~ Bean ---

OK, you’ve talked me into it, even though I am risking letting my real name get out! ☹ I am female, and – let’s go with “38” years old. I’d like something local from where you live, even if it is a kitchy fridge magnet, or I should say, _especially_ if it is a kitchy fridge magnet. I am allergic to thiomersol and nickel. -k- ---

THAT’S IT!!! I think I’ve pm’ed or emailed all of you. If you’re on the Christmas exchange list, and you haven’t heard from me, PLEASE let me know! I was kind of doing this while teaching periodic tables, vocabulary lists, and Robert Frost’s poetry…so…hopefully it all went to where it should.😃 ---

I’m mailing mine today. I put “SDMB” above my return address, so my Santee doesn’t freak out about getting a package from someone they don’t know in Philly. You can open the box when you get it – the actual contents are gift-wrapped, if you want to put them under the tree. Ho ho ho, y’all! ---

Sent mine this morning. It has a very long way to go though so I can’t say for certain that it will be there before Christmas. I hope it will be. In any case, it’s not wrapped in paper but it’s not loose in the box either. If it comes in time and my giftee has a mantle, it can be hung by the chimney with care. ---

Crap that’s what I forgot to put ‘SDMB’ on the package…if you receive a brownpaperpackage (not tied with string) from the UK then go ahead and open it without worries 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christmas-gift-exchange-2009/517696.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christmas-gift-exchange-2009/517696.md?page=3)
