Oops, I just posted my “I Want List” over on the other thread. Let’s see if I can remember what I put (too lazy to look). Anything with a dragon. Gift certificate to a bookstore (I like SF/fantasy books, if you want to try finding out somehow what books I don’t have). Stuffed cats. Chocolate. Fudge. Chocolate chip cookies. A large mushroom and sausage stuffed pizza (sorry, I’m hungry). Fuzzy slippers. That’s all I can think of. ---

As long as it’s not salami, I will be one happy person. Even if it is salami, I’ll be happy, since I like salami. I just like getting stuff. 😃 ---

Jeepers, what do I want? Hmmm… How’s about paying off my winter tuition? Oh wait… There’s a decimal. Son of a… Lemme Think now. Tell ya what folks. I’m pretty well set at this point in my life, so I would like to ask a small favour. If whoever draws me would be willing, I would like to see a my present be given to a local toy drive. Ten bucks may not be much, but it’ll make some kid happy come Christmas morning. (I wouldn’t mind a card though :)) ---

Well shucks, now you’ve gone and embarrassed me.🙂 I mean heck, I’m not against receiving any presents, it just seemed like a good idea at the time (that has to be the first time I have ever used the phrase “it seemed like a good idea at the time” in a positive way. The last time I said that was right after I had combined firecrackers and hairspray. I’m not going to comment further, except to say thank god eyebrows grow back). ---

Do gas stations give gift certificates? With the amount of driving we do, and the cost of gas around here… Naw, probably not. Well, like tatertot, I’m pretty much just thrilled to get something in the mail that’s not a bill, so whatever (and I _do_ mean _whatever_…heh heh) my Santa wants to get me would be just peachy. ---

I like just about everything, but books and small figurines of animals are especially nice. Or anything consumable, that would get used and/or recycled is great. Great thread idea! ----:)/ ----///\\ ---

Hot Dog Vendor: “Hey Spock, what do you want on your hot dog?” Leonard Nimoy: “Surprise me.” Sounds good to me. 🙂 If you _need_ a hint–one can never have too many good books. I’m also into classic movies (they’re my life, really). Hey, I trust ya people! (plus it’s the thought that counts, right?) ---

I collect leather jackets but I doubt that would hit under the 10$ mark… My ex stole (yes stole) all of my ashtrays! How about one with some local flavor on it! ---

Seeing as how I am a “newbie”, I am quite certain whoever got me is sitting painfully thinking “Damn…” 🙂 Any little do-dad with my screen name, books on Martial Arts (Karate), actually, anything is fine… it’s the thought that counts… so no fake vomit, please 😃 …SR xoxo ---

Other stuff I would like: Hard-back copies of pretty much anything by Clive Barker (except for Everville & The Great and Secret Show, which I already have), Steven King, Raymond E. Feist, or e.e. cummings. An insulated thermos. [This.](http://www.mcphee.com/products/classic/M0790.html) A million dollars. A copy of the movie “Cemetery Man” (“Dellamorte Dellamore”). Pretty much anything else. I am an easy girl to please. ---

Let’s see… I’d KILL for a Straight Dope coffee mug for hot cocoa. 🙂 I also read mystery novels, and like South Park, but would be happy with just about anything 🙂 Robin ---

I _love_ books, cats, and yummy smelly fruity stuff that lots of girls tend to like. _trying to think of what books I like_ I have to say I love poetry… Spanish poetry would be a plus. _puts many stars by this one_\*\*\*\* If anyone gets me a stuffed animal, I like anything unusual but disgustingly adorable. ---

I am a freak for anything that glows in the dark. And forgive me for this but I have a thing for those magic 8 ball things. I actually have a Yoda one from Pizza Hut. I love candles and inscence and their different holders. Snowglobes are great. Must come from being a December baby. (That’s right folks, only 8 more shopping days until my birthday!) So how bout anything that has to do with winter or December. I like fairies also. Crystals are wonderful. As for the X rated type stuff body oils are nice as are different battery operated toys. I hope this helps and that I am not being too difficult. And Evil Beth, I told you that you could borrow my guys anytime. The offer still stands. 😃 ---

I really don’t know what I want from my Secret Santa. All I can tell you is I changed my mind about my rating. I don’t want “NC-17” as I previously indicated. This is because there is a chance my parents will see, don’t want to get into explanations. So, PG would be good. =) I’m not picky. I love everything. I’m sorry I can’t be more of a help to you. But Beatles stuff is ALWAYS good. Even if I already have it. You CANNOT go wrong with the new Beatles Album, and books/posters/whatever else is perfect. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-i-want-my-secret-santa-to-get/43098.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-i-want-my-secret-santa-to-get/43098.md?page=3)
