This thread is for all those that posted [here,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48076) and signed up for the Official SDMB Secret Santa by emailing **Homer**.

In this thread, mention some things that you would like to receive. You could be really specific, I guess, but that would probably just take away from the fun of actually finding you a gift. Give a general idea of things you like, things you hate, things you are allergic to, things you already have, (like if you already have the TurboDildo 3000, getting you the TurboDildo 2000 would not be a good gift. -The TD4000 on the other hand…) any local ordinances, and any applicable zoning laws. (You never know with this board…)

When buying the gifts, you can scroll down to find your giftee and see what they like. The really good Secret Santa will remember things mentioned in past threads and buy something based on a poster’s known personality, occupation, etc… But this thread will help the rest of us 🙂

Bear, will you buy me a fondue pot? 😉

Seriously though, I think I’m pretty easy to buy for. Everyone knows what I do for a living. So anything animal related would be great.

Last year I got an antique brooch. What I wanted was a crystal duck.

I want a Buffy poster.

Or a bunch of Altoids.

If you want me to love you forever, though, get quietgirl into UNH for little or no money.

Posting ideas in this thread is better than my method: I was going to do a frantic search on everything the person I was given has ever posted.

Anything with a dragon on it…OK, that was too easy.  
I like chocolate, and cinnamon, but not mint. No nuts.  
NO fruitcake!  
A Vestal Blue massage, with oils!  
I have 4 dogs, 2 small and 2 medium. And 8 cats.  
I have a wicked sense of humor.  
I have been single for 5 years, so anything sex related may keep me off the boards for weeks!!

I’m looking around for a decent set of bondage equipment…sent to my PA addy, not to the one where my parents get to see it and I have to haul it through airport security.

I also love stuffed animals, sci fi, broadway musicals, choral music, arts and crafty things that can be done in a dorm room, american girl stuff for my doll, classic literature… surprises.

I’m one easy to delight girl.

[sub](anyone else think the first two things are kinda…odd together? hmmm… oh well.)[/sub]

Oh, and I don’t need a dildo. If you have serious problems finding something you think will work walk into a decent toy store and look for a soft, cute animal with a Ty tag. (not a beanie baby, but they make nice stuffededs) $10-$12, and I swear to you I will love it. Bonus points if its not a bear. Super bonus points for an animal I don’t have.

I collect lighthouses. I also have one of my bedrooms decorated in a patriotic theme. I’m pretty easy to shop for since I like everything.

Oh, I just remembered I put in for a ‘whatever rated’ gift. Which most likely means X-rated… one must not suffer illusions about our gathering, no? 😃

In terms of X-rated… um… nice handcuffs. They’re great for hanging things from your dorm room.

Well, since I can’t get what I really want…

Music works. SF/Fantasy books too. Anything, really.

Of course, offers of cute SDMB men showing up at my door won’t be rejected either.

Turbo Dildo 3000?? Pshaw. Passe. You need the Sybian ([http://www.sybian.com/](http://www.sybian.com/)) or for the men, the Venus 2000

Sure Opal, no problemo! I have 78 mil to spare! Heck, for that price I might buy TWO! 🙂

Michi, remember to ask yourself while figuring out who gets the second one “which poster on this board would a submarine be most appropriate for?”

Good idea, Bear\_Nenno. 🙂

Ok, here goes:  
anything purple \<within reason, y’all!\>  
stuffed critters, bears, cats, bunnies, and anything unusual like my penguin with the red earmuffs  
miniatures, almost anything  
lead crystal, from goblets to figurines to window hangings  
books, especially Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and motivational  
anything crafty \<so a gift cert. from Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or Jo Ann Fabrics works great!\>  
nature things, plants, flowers, gardening stuff  
I’m sure there’s more, but this will give you a good start.  
And, no, I don’t need a dildo. Well, then again… Mr Bear won’t be back for a long time yet… :eek:

Okay, let’s see…  
I don’t like chocolate. People around here are always vying for chocolate–I don’t understand!

I do like Irish and Scottish men. (If someone could ship **Twisty** to me without him knowing where he was going–that would be great! ;))

I really need a new car.

I’m sure I have interests but for the life of me I cannot remember what they might be!

Of course, I am stuck at work right now and for some reason I am horny as hell so all I can think of along the lines of a gift is an extremely virile, very well-hung young man and a voluptuous limber young woman to go with him!! I know, I know–TMI!

TMI, evilbeth? Personally I feel there’s not enough I, go on, please.

Anyway, moving on to what I want:

Gee…a lot of the stuff I want is very expensive (I don’t suppose any of you want to buy me a new printer, huh?)

But as for the $10 range (as that seems to be the un-agreed price we all agreed on) as follows:

Some original Transformers toys (from the 80’s, not that new Beast Wars crap)

Maybe some Penny Arcade memorabilia ([http://www.penny-arcade.com](http://www.penny-arcade.com)) (click on the shirts link)

Ten bucks (if nothing else comes to mind)

Or whatever you want to get me, I don’t mind. (except for Barbies and chocolate)

Oops, just found out those PA shirts are over $10.00, so forget I mentioned them.

A virile, well hung young man…that sounds good…put that on my list too. Just tell him not to show up at my door unannounced. I need time to clean my apartment. 😉

Other things: I love to read horror and fantasy. I like to go to the movies. I’m going to be bringing a puppy home in a few days…so pet supplies might be nice. 🙂 (Hey, soneone around here said I needed bigger animals in my bed…I’m just following that advice…) I also like to work out at home.

I’m pretty easy to please…if the person who gets me is still stumped, a gift certificate to Target would work great. 🙂
