I will send to the email address as soon as I’m done posting here.
I am female, early 40s;
I like all things purple;
any chocolate–the darker, the better;
socks (6-10 size; my shoe size is 7.5);
weird kitschy stuff like what they have at www.mcphee.com or anything similar;
tea and coffee of all kinds;
nuts of all kinds as long as they are plain/raw;
scented things like candles are welcome; so are perfumes.
I hope I get as lucky with my Santa this year as I got last year!
I like magnets and travel books (especially from my Santa’s home region). I’m not really picky…send me something that tells me about you, Santa…something you are interested in.
I like books and candy. And toys, like dumb stuff you can put on your desk and play with when you should be working. (In this category, I already have a slinky and an awesome action figure of Shakespeare I got the last time I did SDSS.) I like pretty much anything, to be honest.
Y’all are just warmin’ up the [Denis Leary] “cockles of my heart” [/Denis Leary] with all these Secret Santa sign-ups and I hope all of you get something really nice from your Santa.
This is just a reminder that the deadline is midnight December 5th, and I will be ready to hit that ol’ SEND button and get all “Santa-Fied” my own self when I do!
What is the number of the most participants we’ve ever had for this, anyone know?
Whatever the number, I’d like to beat it this year, and have it go slicker than owl-shit, if we can.
To that end, I will be watching which e-mails come back to me as undeliverable (whether my mistake or yours), and I will correct, so bear with me, okay?
This is my first year! I usually just stick with the ornament exchange.
Some hints:
I’m 25, female, a pilot and weather enthusiast (you can do no wrong if you can manage to find something under $10). I love maps, nonfiction, iTunes, Cary Grant, card games, the Dope, and all things European. And I’m not very picky.
btw - there are 3 items on my Amazon.com wish list (which you can find by my email which is in my profile) under $10, just in case you’re stuck for ideas for me
Just a reminder: I’m shutting the list down on 12.5.06 at midnight, so if you’ve been prognosticating, or prestidigitationing, now’s the time to quit, 'cause Santa’s on his way.
I am sending names at 2 pm Germany time, because I am having to use an internet cafe and this place stays very crowded and I have an early check-out time in the morning.
I have already received 4 returned mails, and I will post those names as soon as I can get back on.
If any of you have signed up and have not received your giftee, don’t panic, I have the information, just haven’t had time to get you paired up. I think there are only 4 of you who have recently signed up so it’s no biggie.
I hope my name got in there some how. I’m not real picky, but if you want to find something for the baby she likes the little people, of couse she’s a baby so she likes everything!
I’m in.
I’m pretty much open to anything at all. Right now, I am thinking of investing in some Lego blocks so I can play with them at work while I’m answering support questions (already have my plastic basketball hoop, I just need a desk catapult and a nerf gun of some variety.)
