Hi **Anaamika**! 🙂 OK, I am most definitely _IN_ 🙂 I have no preference regading the gifts themselves. A book is always welcome, though – I am a very voracious reader! Sending you my email right now. ---

I am in. Email sent. I am not picky. Green is my favourite colour. I like gifts that say something about the giver. Looking forward to this. 🙂 ---

Me me me! I was just thinking about this a few days ago. Female, married, 32, animal lover (especially dogs, cats, and horses), coffee drinker (love a good mug), chocolate fan, fuzzy sock wearer, colorful scarf fan (coat is grey so anything goes, but I don’t look good in yellow or orange), local food/craft fan … I think that’s plenty! OH - and I love unique Christmas ornaments. ---

I definitely want to participate again! I collect mouse figurines and my Christmas tree is filled with all mouse ornaments. I’d love to have a new mouse ornament for my tree. I try to avoid Mickey/Minnie because they are so easy to find, but other character mice are great, as are non-character mice. If there are no other mice ornaments to be had, I get a Mickey or Minnie. New or used is OK. I also love good chocolate, and fancy great-smelling soap. ---

> [@JoseB](#): > > I have no preference regading the gifts themselves. A book is always welcome, though – I am a very voracious reader! Just in case I get you – could you at least indicate a couple of types of books that you enjoy? I’m a voracious reader also and there’s all kinds of shit out there I have zero interest in reading. ---

Ok now my turn to explain what I like: My fall back is always to say I love things from where people live! I have a shotglass collection that is quietly growing more and more, but the main thing I have, and what I want to actually request, is a pen. I collect pens from places and I would love to have a pen from wherever my Santa lives. I also like stuffed animals and have way more than a 26 year old male should have. Won’t tell y’all the number but I have them in the double digits. So a fun stuffed animal is always interesting to have. T-shirt size is a M. I like sports, especially football (especially NFL football…go Pack go!) so anything sports related is a pretty good bet for me. As with most dopers here I love to read. I love me some murder mysteries. The more grusome and weird the serial killer…the happier I am. My current authors that I love in the genre are Boris Starling and his American pseudonym James Blake. I’m also enjoying two Lars Kepler books. Other than that I’m pretty easy to shop for. There isn’t anything that I won’t enjoy because I love these exchanges and anything I get from people here is something that I love to tell others about! ---

I’ll join in this year. 😃 Email on the way. My interests are dogs (especially Boston Terriers or Chihuahuas), coffee, chocolate, homemade candies like pralines or divinty, small items like a calendar or coffee mug are always appreciated. Small figurines, paperweights, and other chachkies are something else that I enjoy. Favorite colors Red, Blue are really nice. T shirt size is XL. Had lots of fun last year. I’m looking forward to Christmas 2012. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-christmas-exchange-2012/640984.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-christmas-exchange-2012/640984.md?page=3)
