thanks, okarol...I guess I missed that the first time.  I was so excited about getting in that I didn't read all the details.  Now, I've gone back and re-read everything.  I'm now in the "know."

perfume
favorite colors:  purple & yellow
earrings
cherubs
minature clocks
anything with "quotes" on it
dark chocolate
80s music

Diagnosed with ESRD-November 2006
I have had 2 fistuals-neither one worked
I have had 2 grafts the last one finally "took"
I had 3 different catheters from Nov. 06 - Dec. 08
Got on the transplant list - Halloween Day 2008

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.    I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!

I have forgotten to put my name in the presents I sent to people last year.  I usually try to put a card in the bottom of the box and surprise them at the end of all of the gifts. I cannot wait.  I have been finding stuff all year.  I have a great IHD Christmas box.  Going to have to send it in waves I think.

An XL T-shirt from where
A couple of key chains (the glassy plastic souvenir kind)
Stuff that is mailable that is typical of where you live

ANYTHING ELSE.................

Kitkatz reminded me that each participant should limit their spending to no more than $20 - $25 max - the idea is to exchange something - but don't break the bank.

If you have nothing but time  :rofl; you could read last years thread and see all the likes and favorites and gifts exchanged last year http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=4829.0 -  :cheer:

If you HATE candy or have a fear of clowns or are allergic to perfume - post it here so your Secret Santa will have some guidance!

Names coming soon!  :bandance;

Also, to clarify - you will receive the name of the person you are sending TO.
You will NOT know who is sending a gift to you until you open your package.

twirl, can you keep a secret?  ;D
