You can't have it all. There is so much variety, I doubt highly that you could possibly buy me anything, randomly, that I already have. They also are constantly changing out their merchandise. Disneyana is an excellent gift for me. (Though I don't want anyone to think it has to be Disney.)

Mmmm. Alcohol is great for me. Coffee and tea are less appreciated. And when it comes to food . . . you know, food may simply not be the best gift for me.

Favorite colors: Red. Also greens and blues. I am always on the look-out for things that are red and green but don't look Christmassy. Real colors. No pastels.
Interests: Scottish dance. Reading. Britcoms. Bicycling. Needlework. Cooking. Classic rock, celtic rock, Broadway (I enjoy other music as well, but those are the ones I find myself listening to most often). Storytelling. History. Severed hands. Old movies. Singing.

It is absolutely against the rules to send cute girls. Or any girls. You may only hand deliver.

Drat. I have two cute girls who are driving me crazy tonight. You think the P.O. won't accept them?

Age: 24 Colors: everything except yellow (yes I know I'm weird) Interests: food, books, knitting, needlework, other craft stuff, nature, piano, art. I agree with the regional/handmade stuff as being awesome Allergies: I'm allergic to furry animals so please don't send me a kitty or a puppy Posts: 944 | Registered: Jun 2001

Of course, my wife is allergic, so she'd probably throw me out of the house. And how would that make you feel?! Not too good, I'd wager.
Other fanaticisms of mine are football, and particularly the Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes, baseball, and particularly the New York Yankees and Miami Hurricanes, and the Miami Heat. I like relatively recent history--like twentieth century or later. I like memoirs of people connected to things I already like (there's that written word thing again!). I am also into musical theatre.
I'm not doing my sender any favors, by posting all of this in separate posts! Posts: 13680 | Registered: Mar 2002

Age: 23 (female) Favorite colors: greens, all except lime and neon Interests: theatre, books, fairy decorations, things with suns and moons on them, christmas things Allergies: none
i'm pretty easy going -- in the past i've gotten an original short story, gift cards to a pet store ( i have cats), and make-your-own chili mix, among other things. Dan_Raven also got me two years running, but he is an awesome gift-giver, so no complaints

Favorite colors: jewel tones - royal blue, garnet, plum, amethyst purple, and so on.
Favorite scents: mostly food-related like vanilla, cinnamon, but also fresh scents like rain-something, fresh linen, that type. Maybe ocean-something (can't remember specific scents - you get the idea) but not florals - they are usually too heavy.
No allergies, but I'm LDS. Flavored hot chocolates are good (but no cayenne pepper please - I'm still not ready for that )
Reading interests: science fiction and fantasy mostly. Some mysteries - usually thematic such as the Diane Mott Davidson (MC is a caterer) or Lillian Jackson Braun (Siamese cats). I just read "A Tail of Two Murders" by Melissa Cleary, which looks like the beginning of a series, so any of those would be welcome. That was written in 1992, so they could probably be found in a used book store.
More about me: I'm a 46-year-old mother of two daughters (14 and 11). I've been married nearly 25 years. We have 2 cats and 4 guinea pigs. I work at a newspaper as a copy editor/paginator. I enjoy playing Kingdom of Loathing, Sims2 (I've got most of the expansion packs) and mah jong games. I'm not terribly organized ... or maybe I should say I am terribly organized, as in my organization skills are terrible.
I like to scrapbook, but it's one of the things I procrastinate. I like colored pens, journals and notebooks. My hair and eyes are dark brown, my ears are pierced but I usually don't wear earrings. I like kitschy Christmas jewelry (and other kitschy stuff). I have a couple of Christmas necklaces that have a large jingle bell with decorations.
I don't have any real collections of anything specific. I do have one Willow Treefigurine and would like more.
I would be glad to answer specific questions sent to my Gmail account through a third party if my gifter is stumped or needs clarification. I may add more to this if I think of something. My aim is to give my gifter an idea of what I'm like and let them use their best judgment. I've been pretty lucky so far in what I've gotten.
Edited to add: My T-shirt size is 3X-4X, depending on where it's purchased. (Wal-Mart has moved their sizes up - what used to be 3X [26W-28W] is now 4X) So I wear 26W-28W or sometimes 30W-32W. In case my gifter wants to send me a T-shirt. (I'm bringing this up because I might want to send a T-shirt to my giftee, and having sizes listed will help others.)
I like Mary Engelbreit stuff. And Heartwood Creek (which I didn't know the name of, but finally figured out how to Google it.)
Interests: letsee... science experiments, boardgames, comics, farming, new SF/fantasy, baseball, singing, dark chocolate.
Allergies: perfume/strong scents, jazz, opera, hiphop, rap, New Age music.
I like random stuff and local stuff, I've always liked anything I've gotten through the gift exchange. Maui babe sent me a bunch of neat Hawaiian stuff last year, though she only sent a small jar of that awesome tropical jelly instead of a whole bucket, hmff.

Age: 35 Favorite colors: uff, no one colour, but nothing too flourescent. Interests: Mountains, SF, history (old maps, priceless manuscripts etc...), music (from industrial-thrash-punk to bluegrass to medieval madrigals and everything in between), I also love cheap folk instruments. Allergies: None, well except turpentine, but it's tricky to mail, so I should be safe...
Regarding food, I'm in Spain so unless it's well packed and very well preserved food is probably a no-no.
I'm open to anything. Local stuff is especially great - something for a study wall (hey, if you're an impoverished student, a college pennant would be great). Books or music are good too - I'm horribly conservative so something to shake me out of my tired worn rut would be fun. Maybe some local tunes?
If you're stuck, send me a picture of your favourite place, so we can share!
Oh, and I'd love a little note to say why you sent what you sent - it makes all the more fun.

Age: 32 Favorite colors: Not brown or soft pink Interests: Interesting things, boring but important things, idealized pirates, anything (like coffee, tea, or explicit sex) that Mormons can't have, things that are associated with or give birth to anecdotes Allergies: Foodstuffs, romance novels, things that have been knitted out of fibrous material

Age: 3 Favorite colors: red, orange, pink, yellow, purple (and anything bright!) Interests: Painting, drawing, bubbles, eating, reading, music, playing on the computer, candy, animals, stickers, Superman Allergies: Zinc. Sensitive skin, no creams, lotions, bath products, or anything that goes on skin, please. Because of mother's allergies, nothing made from animal fibers, grass, or perfumed. Please don't send anything breakable or inappropriate for a small child (including small pieces her sister could choke on.) She has a strange phobia of many stuffed animals and dolls, so probably best not to send those to her either.

Interests: Horses, music, sewing, beginning acoustic guitar, fun silly toys, local products, scarves and hats, food(but not milk Chocolate, dark is ok).

Age: 23, almost 24 Favorite colors: Red & green are my two favorites but not really together. I also like blue, silver and most oranges. Interests: - anything desert-oriented (includes baking, eating, and reading about deserts ^_^) Last year I got a desert cookbook from William-Sonoma. The recipes in there were amazing. - sewing (I'm an amateur) - singing along to songs in the bathroom (I know you do too!) - pretty much anything cute and/or fuzzy (I die a little inside every time I visit cuteoverload.com) - video games on most platforms - accessories of all kinds (purses/wallets/scarves/shoes/home decor/everything else)

I'm a 49 year old female. My favorite colors are purple, blue, green, and any other color that might be found in a bruise.
I like anteaters, armadillos, Maisy mouse, cats, little furry animals like mice and hamsters, sewing, making stuffed animals, history and historical costuming, reading, arts and crafts, and I collect little boxes.
I'm diabetic and LDS, so no refined sugar or sugar-like substances (corn syrup), tobacco, alcohol, coffee, or tea, please. I'm allergic to most plant-based scents except vanilla seems to be okay.

Ack, sorry for not posting earlier! I got really busy with Real Life and was offline for a few days.
Age: 26
Color: I tend to like blues, greens, non-magenta pinks, and purples best, and I've also been in a brown phase lately. But I like most colors, though yellows and oranges are generally unflattering on me.
Interests: Books, history/biography (especially European), travel and foreign countries, theatre, horses, all sorts of movies and music (not overly fond of rap, though), yarn and other artsy-craftsy things. And quirky/local things are fun.
Allergies: Not an allergy, but really spicy food scares me. And I'm not LDS, so coffee/tea/alcohol is all good with me. Posts: 952 | Registered: Jun 2005

Age: 30 Favorite colors: Cobalt Blue, Hunter Green, Teal, Orange, Chocolate Brown Interests: science fiction, fantasy, most anything British especially Dr. Who, books on ancient history and languages, writing, computers, beading, making jewelry, unusual rubber stamps (I use them making jewelry) Allergies: cat hair, bananas

Oh... Well it's not big deal if you can't. I saw this thread and thought it was the sign-up. I wouldn't mind doing it and I'm a good gift giver. But if it's all done then don't worry about it.
