Christmas - Secret Santa

Ooh. Cool.

Okay. I love hockey, I collect old books of poetry (usually "collected works"...yes, I collect collected works :P), I have a rather large CD collection (850+), though my tastes are eclectic and irregular... My wife and I are both movie fans, and between us we own about 100 DVDs... She owns a Nintendo DS that I occasionally buy her games for (and I've been known to borrow it from her, like I have now...). OH! One of my biggest hobbies lately has been doing New York Times crossword puzzles, though I think I own all the books for my skill level (Wednesday / Thursday). I also like useful gadgets. Things that can be used regularly and make life more conveniently.

That should be enough ammo for any would-be secret santas. :P

My favorite colour is black...and don't tell me it's not a colour!

I better have been top 3! :P

You were 4th!

:ranting:

Ok, so...

Do you have any hobbies in particular?

I'm a sports girl. I love NASCAR (gooo #55), the Avalanche and Leafs, and the Co. Rockies. I love Nintendo so I play my Wii probably to much (Yoshi is my Favorite!) and I'm a big country music fan.

What are your favourite colours?

Pink. Second would be Blue.

Do you decorate for Christmas? What colours do you use and what style (if any) do you like?

Well we are living with the in laws at the moment, and that probably won't change before Christmas, so we don't be doing a lot of decorating ourselves. But as far as decoration style goes, think 4 year old child :P I love plush toys that sing and dance, Disney character things, old Christmas show decorations (like Rudolph and Frosty) things like that. I'm a kid at heart, I guess!

When you shop, what are your favourite things to shop for? Linens, books, clothing, perfume, skate board accessories etc etc.

Shoes! But yeah no, I don't expect any of you to buy me shoes :lol: But I'm always looking for a good book to read, I'm back at picking them out without helpful recommendations! And I always spend to much money at places like Bath and Body works. Lotions and sprays, stuff like that. I'm pretty much into any flavor except ones that smell like food... :lol: (ya know, like Vanilla or Chocolate stuff) I also have a giant collection of plush animals, Its a little bit of an odd obsession. And I also have a collection of rubber duckies and pez dispensers :lol:

Anything else you can tell us that you like - maybe you miss a certain Canadian chocolate bar!?

COFFEE CHRISP! They've been my favorite since childhood and I can't find them anywhere. Makes me sad :(

That was probably way to descriptive. But really, I'm easy to please.

Ok here goes, I really like reading about everyone's favourite things!

Do you have any hobbies in particular?

No, I play wow - that's it, that's my hobby. Oh I like to read too.

What are your favourite colours?

I like white, brown, tan, sage green and pink

Do you decorate for Christmas?

Not really no - just a tree and a couple of items - that's it.

What colours do you use and what style (if any) do you like?

I currently do the tree in a light burnished gold and silver - and unusual decorations - I think i'll borrow Sapphire's descriptions - vintage and/or glass.

When you shop, what are your favourite things to shop for?

Linens - love them, but don't buy very many because i'm pretty particular :hehe: - which is probably a good thing or I would have closets full of linens. I also like tropical things and asian items.

When I shop for stuff it's usually notepads and notebooks (i have like 30 unused around here, my husband just hates it) I think im addicted to them. Puzzles always in a toy store looking at puzzles. I also like looking for knitting patterns or sewing patterns from the like 40's-70's (im strange like that)

I LOVE reading. I'm currently wanting to read Warrior Rising by PC Cast and I'm learning how to cook...so that's a hobby now I guess. :)

Do you decorate for Christmas? What colours do you use and what style (if any) do you like?

When I do get to decorate, I go nuts. I use mainly silver and blue to decorate but I have tons of disney ornaments and star trek ornaments all over my tree. I love cartoony ornaments too!

When you shop, what are your favourite things to shop for? Linens, books, clothing, perfume, skate board accessories etc etc

I mainly shop for books and shirts from American Eagle...the discount rack only though, they're so expensive. And I love any sort of book, as long as it's NOT Twilight and there has been good things said about it. Oh, and I'm trying to find a cookbook for a beginner...one that has a picture for each recipe...haha :D

OH. And like Avery said...I love 1000 piece complex puzzles!

Bright Turquoise Blue is my favorite and also Dark Pink.

When you shop, what are your favourite things to shop for? Linens, books, clothing, perfume, skate board accessories etc etc

I love shopping for organizer things like funky & cute clips (the kind that seem spring loaded(???)), candles - I LOVE candles!!!, fun notepads, picture frames, oh... jewelry. Yeah, that about covers my trips out to the mall and other stores I frequent! ;)
