Holiday Gift Exchange Guidlines

I have had some requests on the guidlines for the exchange. I suggested that the gift be $20 or less. Nothing fancy, just a little token of affection! Maybe something that represents where you live or something useful to us "losers". And yes, it is ok to let the person know who the gift came from. I would say that it should be sent around Christmastime. But if you want to send sooner, I am sure that would be ok too! I can't wait to go shopping! And I also can't wait to get my gift!!! One more thing I thought about doing is asking people to tell us a little something about themselves. This may help us in our quest to find the perfect gift! Maybe tell us if you are a collector, or there is something that you really need or want. Just helpful hints. I will start. I collect frogs. We ride a Harley. I am an avid sports fan. I love dangly earrings. This has become a passion of mine since losing weight. I reward myself with earrings!!! You should SEE my collection! Anyone else?? This is gonna be soooo cool!!! Lori

I'll go next: I love candles or anything that makes my house smell good! I also love anything San Miguel ( like wrougt iron candle holders, etc) Since losing weight, I love all jewelry. I am a breast cancer survivor, so anything pink is always good too! This is a good idea, I hope my secret person replys too so I can get some ideas!

I'm still laughing Lori And you collect frogs? Still looking for that Prince I see!! What sports? I love baseball, football & hockey. The only NY team I like is yankees I used to be a huge Joe Montana/ 49ers Fan. The dream ended when he retired. Ahhhhh Jewelry is a passion of mine and I now sell it... so please..if you are going to purchase ANY jewelry for anyone here- please contact me, you will get a very good deal..we are giving FREE jewelry and a THREE DAY TRIP IN 21 CITIES (to you) for November. As for me- I love cats- I have a black cat- who looks like he wears a tuxedo (his name) crystal journey candles- they have little affirmations that come with them- the fragrances are wonderful and last the longest. I love stuffed animals- the kind that are like 5-6" high- sit on your desk. I have a lion, tiger, a striped cat & a bear in a pumpkin suit ..They look hungry to me! I LOVE motivational calendars/posters. The kind that say ' achievement' or 'attitude' and depict an athlete doing something great. I like unusual things. And i will send you all the jewelry you want- if you can send me a sexy santa with or WITHOUT his suit on! LMAO@me. GREAT idea Lori. **AND EVERYONE- DO NOT FORGET THE XMAS CARD LIST** I NEED YU TO SEND ME THE INFO- THE LIST IS DIFFERENT THAN LORI'S !! DONNA

Hi All, Let's see... I like faeries, dragonflies, & frogs (but not cutesy). Pins and bracelets (the more noisy the better ) and gold earrings. I also like candles - vanilla & 'kitchen' spices (pumpkin, apple pie, cinnamon, etc.) smells. I love to quilt, read, & photograph so anything related to those areas, including magazines, etc. is great! Dawn

What fun! I am a quilter and love unusual and bright fabrics that I can add to my quilts (cotton please). My motto is "Whoever dies with the most material wins!" I live in Va Beach and love to go down to the beach to watch the dolphins swimming and jumping in the waves. Dolphin candles/ holders or little dolphin figurines are wonderful. I have always loved to bake and now that I don't do so much of that anymore, I have taken to liking wonderful smelling candles, especially those with holiday (Thanksgiving or Christmas) scents. My husband and I scuba dive. I love the Caribbean and Jimmy Buffet. Thanks for suggesting this Lori! Eileen

Thank you for putting this together Lori! I have long hair so hair clips or hair scrunchies are always in high demand. I love anything with bassett hounds on it. I LOVE purses - I have tons, and I'm not picky about 'brands' and all that jazz, most of mine come from Wal Mart or eBay! I also like candles and candle melts. Connie
