I will ship internationally. And I have kept diaries since I was eight years old and would love a foreign language blank journal book (hint,hint). ---

I’m in! My favorite colors are blue and green. I love glass (paperweights, etc). Some other ideas: slippers (shoe size 8.5), a two-person game of some sort, pens, dark chocolate, a cool coffee mug. ---

Ahem! Whoever gets **me** as their Secret Santa will get something from **my** hometown, and if y’all know your “Quasi-Lore” you’ll also know where my hometown **is**.😉 Plus, giving gifts is one of my favorite things to do, and this Christmas is gonna be the best Doper Christmas **ever**! Looking forward to it!!! Q ---

Sounds fun! I like: Astrology/zodiac, tarot decks (especially with moon pics), unique/uncommon collectables, faerie folk (esp Nene thomas and Brian Froud), fav colour: silver, ummmm… If you really cant think of anything you can ask Projammer for an idea. ---

Crap. I didn’t read the whole thread before replying, so my reply is not in Designated Secret Santa Format (DSSF). Sorry. I’m in! I like fuzzy things. Food is fun (preferably not fuzzy). Things that smell like food (fuzzy or otherwise). Local stuff. Christmas stuff, especially snowmen. Things that are warm. Baseball. Cats. Penguins. My favorite color is red but my preferred color for most things is multi. The only thing I hate is mint. ---

I’m in if you’ve got room for another. coffee / mugs scifi / fantasy books Music interest is pretty much all over the place, but I’ll have to decline C&W. International shipping is fine ---

I’m definitely in! I think this is a great idea. A hobby of mine is collecting menus from nearly every restaurant I dine in. If you can snag a few from your area, that would be freakin’ stupendous. Other than that, virtually anything else will be warmly invited. I’m not picky! I just think the idea of this is so cool; I’m happy to be a part of this. ---

Ooh! Ooh! Secret Santa! Thanks Twickster! My favorite color is green. Im a big fan of tea, coffee, chocolate exc. I also love to cook and bake, especially cookies. I also love any crafty items you may make, as I have little to no talent of my own! ---
