I'm so excited!  This is going to be great!

Nothing edible for me, please.  I just built a dollhouse, so anything really neat for the dollhouse would be great!  Little framed art, plants, furniture, rugs.  The wallpaper in most rooms have greens, reds, some blues.  I don't have landscaping for the dollhouse, so just inside items please.

T-shirt size:     L to XL (depending on the quality of material.  cheaper material go to XL)
Sweatshirts or Sweaters:  I like those XL.
I love good candles such as Pumpkin Spice or Cinnamon and Apple.  Really any smell except florals.
I wouldn't mind a gift card for anyplace like Target, Wal-Mart, Linens and Things, Best Buy, Circuit City, Barns and Nobles, Dillards, Foleys, Victoria Secret.  I could find something cool at any of those places!

I may add to this list before the deadline...


oooooooo this is going to be fun!

I'm into just about anything.

Love cats and Yorkies, cooking stuff, regional stuff... whatever, I'm happy!  bath stuff -- just no floral scents

This is going to be fun. I can't wait to see who I get.

   :santahat;    If you haven't been involved in the Christmas exchange before,  I just want to say how much I have enjoyed it.  It is fun to shop for another member,but it is really fun to get that surprise package in the mail.  It feels good to know someone here took time to do something just for you for the holidays.    I really like the idea of regional items. and that is something easy to find.    So, join in the fun!!    Add your name to the list  :2thumbsup;    :santahat;   :christmastree; :rudolph;

Hello everyone!!

I hope this post is finding you all well.  I just sent my info to okarol so I can be included in the Secret Santa fun!!

I've never participated in a Secret Santa program by mail before. So, I am wondering when packages should be mailed?  Are we shooting for as close as you can get, right before Christmas delivery. Or is it OK if I shoot for a week or two before Christmas delivery date?

Thanks for the info!!

Kelly  :clap;
