I, too, would like something that represents the area of my Secret Santa. No, I promise not to cheat and assign myself someone who comes from Forest Park, IL. ---

My wish list: I love cats… And, like Baker, I dig crystals. I collect miniature perfumes. The little bottles fascinate me, and if the perfume smells good, well that’s even better. I love to read - and I’m a sci-fi/fantasy kind of gal. Gifts that reflect where my Secret Santa is from would be really neato, too. ---

Oh, you were serious about a wish list? I love calendars – I have one at home and three (!) in my office at work – one for each wall, so I don’t have to squint from across the room when I’m checking the date before I sign off on something. A calendar of your locale would be muy perfecto. (Or, to copy other people’s ideas: socks, toys, books, crystals, little bottles of colored glass, CDs.) Willing to ship internationally if you need someone to. ---

I’m going to echo the sentiments of others and ask for something from that person’s area/hometown. Robin ---

I’m in this year. Didn’t get to last year but come heck or high water I’m in this year. I’m a very odd person going back and forth between goth and hippie and I’m Wiccan to boot. In other words I’m easy to shop for. Two years ago I got a sarcastic magic 8 ball that I adore! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zyada \* > \*\*I’m in! And I’ll do international if needed! > > I hope I’m as lucky this year as I was last year! \*\* Why, thank you, darling! I’m so glad you like your kitty. I especially enjoyed driving you past the place where I found it, and pointing it out to you. I will echo many other sentiments expressed here and say that an item unique to the geography of the sender would be peachy, especially if it has the name of the place on it (so, like Hershey bars would work… :D). Or, failing that, another 3" to 7" plastic figure (like you get in Happy Meals[sup]TM[/sup] or gumball dispensers) to stand on my computer monitor, next to Betty Boop, Michigan J. Frog, Goofy, and the others I have there now. ---

Add me to the list of folks who would appreciate something uniquely local from their secret santa. Otherwise…things celtic…things beer related…or things bread baking related would all be swell as well. ---

I’m still fairly new here, but I love secret santa stuff! Count me in! As far as for what I’d like: candleholders (I make my own candles, so not candles, so much.), interesting soap molds, celestial themed stuff or pretty/interesting journals are good. I’m also expecting my first baby (a girl!) in February, so new baby/new mom type stuff is great too. ---

My passion is coffee. Cups, beans, anything. So if you want to make me really happy, coffee stuff works. I also like Ty Beanie Babies, dragons and books (please, no sci-fi). Pre-paid calling cards are cool, too. ---

Ooh, yes, something unique to Santa’s locale would be great! If that’s not possible, I like: Rocks and all other things relating thereto (duh) Penguins Chocolate Maps Funny/weird/tacky things Adult-themed gifts are OK, as we have no chilluns around. I’ll let the hub post his own list. ---
