Newbie here but I’m pretty easy to shop for… I love books , movies, wine, candles, men… (not necessarily in that order!) Any rating is fine but X sounds like more fun! Besides, I agree that “A virile, well hung young man” sounds great! ---

So, you really are fun to date, aren’t you. ---

The offer still stands. 😃 \*\* Hmmm…I hear that Mailboxes Etc. prides itself on being able to wrap anything…get thyself to a Mailboxes Etc. and I’ll be sending you my address shortly! 😉 BTW, is there any way we can force all who signed up to do this to come to this thread and mention at least a couple things they might like? I know I am not the only person at an almost total loss for what to get their person. I have one or two ideas and I only got those because I spent the better part of an hour yesterday going hrough past threads looking for any shred of an idea! ---

Oooh, I thought of something I want, need and can be as cheap or expensive as my gifter’s budget allows. My old Doperfest notebook was ruined & I need a new one. If my Santa could buy me a new one & sign it, I will be the happiest Tot on these boards! ---

I’m not real picky. I like sports a lot, so if there’s any local sports team (minor league type), a t-shirt (XL) or something with their logo would be cool. Beer is always an acceptable gift. Naked women aren’t bad either… ---

My person has not given any hints in this thread. Get with the program, people. If chocolate, Lindt Extra Dark is my favorite. I like anything Monty Python related or South Park related. I have all the MPFC movies, but not the SP movie. Smallish Christmas ornaments for my fake tree. I like herbal teas. I don’t like “regular” tea. Nothing computer related - though it’s what I do for a living, I don’t like to think about it when I’m not home. I would also like a virile well-hung man who knows how to use his tongue. _Pretty please?_ ---

I don’t like to think about it when I’m **at** home. I unfortunatly have to think about it when I’m at work. ---

I would like something Gothic with dragons on it. Like a dragon goblet, little figure, or maybe one of those dragon skull thingies… Medievil dragons though, I dislike oriental dragons. Or ammo is always nice. Any semi-auto caliber will do. Or a Straight Dope T-shirt. Do they have them in longsleeves with turtle necks? I love long sleeve high collar shirts and polo style shirts. (I think I am getting a little pricy now so I’ll stop) I am by no means picky though. I am excited just to get stuff. I still have the post card **tatertot** sent me. It’s on my desk. Everytime I see it, I smile. 🙂 ---

Whew! Finally getting back here to post. I like chocolate, nay, I adore it. I like that calendar “The Ladies of Rylstone”, but I’m not sure how much it is. I think Barnes and Noble has it, and Borders too. I collect coffee mugs, so a big mug would be fun, either from my Santa’s area, or SDMB. And I like sci-fi in general, especially the older stuff, and from TV, Babylon Five items. I’d like to be alone with Garibaldi for a while!!! I’d even make him bagna cauda, no matter what Dr. Franklin thinks fo it. Getting too greedy here. Anything, even a card would be nice. I don’t know any other Dopers in person. ---

See that line above, take note that I’m using this post for you, my wonderful Secret Santa! Let’s see, I’d like one of [these chairs](http://www.ekornes.com). A DVD player (JVC, preferably). I could go for a Straight Dope turtleneck (Size XL-Tall). You could pay of the balance on my school loans, that’d be nice. Or, a nice big Toblerone bar…yum. Something (even a postcard) from where ever you are would be cool, too. Or, and this is as much for me as it is for you: porn. I actually don’t own a single smut film, and I think it would do you good to go to one of those establishments. C’mon, live a little! That’s it. Wow, 500 posts. It seems like only yesterday [sub]thinksnow trails off wistfully…[/sub] ---

I thought about not posting anything, just because I wanted to see what would happen given free rein and unfettered imagination. Then, I thought, BAAAAAD IDEA. Then I thought, nnnnnaaaaahhhhhhhh. However, I will take pity on my secret santa and offer a few hints. Tacky regional souvenirs, especially something I can add to my donkey collection. I really wanted to play in the [tacky present exchange](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48039), but I’m too fond of my tacky stuff to give it up. 😃 Cool beads. Cool monitor toys. I don’t suppose I could be lucky enought to have a Secret Santa with access to Tank Girl comics . . . :heavy sigh: A User Friendly Dust Puppy. However, as I put in for an unrated gift, let your imagination waft you away. Bound to be a surprise, anyways. Tisiphone ---
