Holiday Gift Exchange Wishlist 2014

[glamgal]

Okay, here it is. If you are participating in the gift exchange, please post your wish list. This is my second time participating and I'm excited to get shopping!

About me: I'm a barre enthusiast. My favorite methods are barre3, P57, and Bar Method (I already have all of these, but listed them to give you an idea of what I like). I'm 36 years old, married, no children, and I celebrate Christmas. I signed up for this gift exchange because I enjoy shopping for fellow VF friends...unfortunately, I don't have a lot on my wish list but I am delighted that someone out there is thinking of me at all!

I cut out sugar earlier this year, but I still enjoy a good dark chocolate. My current favorite is Lindt 90% cocoa, so yeah...the darker, the better! I also adore any dark chocolate with sea salt, coffee, etc. Ummm...did I mention that I cut out sugar this year? So I dream about chocolate a lot!

I don't really have any must-haves on my wish list since I typically buy for myself throughout the year. I would be thrilled with any (or none! - just send chocolate!) of these DVDs:

Pop Physique - Any from the series. I have none and have been curious to try.

Soooo...now I feel silly because I can't think of anything else to add to my list. Other things I enjoy include: fuzzy socks, the color grey, unique mugs or tiny espresso spoons, homemade sugar scrubs.

I participated last year and had a blast!

Dear Secret Santa, thank you so much for being my Secret Santa and please do not spend a ton of money. I will be happy and appreciative with any gifts I receive. Here is my "wish list".

DVDs: I know these 2 DVDs haven't been released yet but these are the only ones I've got my eye on right now
Michelle Dozois Bodyfit 360 Dance Conditioning
Michelle Dozois Bodyfit 360 Athletic Conditioning
OR a gift certificate to Mary's site totalfitnessdvds.com

Non Food Goodies:
Spicy scented candles: Vanilla Bean, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cinnamon
Dangle earrings
I love anything Shoe or Fitness themed such as:
Post It's or Notepads-I use the post its on my workout calendar and I write tons of lists
Bookmaker-I love to read so a shoe or fitness themed bookmark would be cool
Christmas Ornaments-I have several shoe and fitness themed ornaments hanging in my workout room

Food Goodies:
See's Candies Lollypops. Apparently they have a pumpkin spice and a caramel apple one this year. Would love to try these. Last year they had a Mint Cream one that was YUMMY!!! Hoping they have them again this year.

Again thank you for being my Secret Santa.

Here is my list- sorry for the delay- I am a high school biology teacher and school has been crazy busy with curriculum meetings, 8th grade visits, and Open House. I'll post some now and may add more later for more options. I am married, 48 years old, with 12 (almost 13) year old boy/girl twins and a new little dog, Seger. Used DVDs are perfectly fine.

Other stuff:
I am a runner and run 5K's, 10K's, and half marathons so running stuff is good.
I follow Weight Watchers but am currently 7 lbs. over my lifetime goal weight and am trying to get back down (despite the fact that four of my other ideas above revolve around food!).

I love scented candles and fresheners. I have a preference for cleaner scents, like fresh laundry or outdoor scents.

[Mickey12]

This is my first year participating and I'm very excited! My holiday shopping list has been reduced this year, so shopping for my secret Santa gift will be lots of fun.

To my Secret Santa, don't feel the need to spend a lot. Gently used and recycled gifts are perfectly fine. I will enjoy what ever you send me.

I have been married for 24 years, no children. We celebrate Christmas. I love all animals but am passionate about cats. I have 3 cats. My husband and I are huge Disney fans. We go to the parks every 2 years and collect anything Disney such as trinkets, pictures, music, kitchen stuff, clothes. We also love all things Harry Potter.

I love all types of music on CD. Currently I'm especially into tribal, African, new age or something with a relaxation/yoga vibe.

I would love something handmade, locally made, or something your hometown is known for.

I love to cook and enjoy cookbooks, (gently used gladly welcome). I would enjoy flavored teas and snacks (healthy or not so healthy).

I love nature and animals. I enjoy calendars with fun, cute or beautiful photos. I like dangly earrings (gold tone, silver tone or colored) or scarves.

I enjoy gift set type things such as lip colors, makeup, lotions (fruit scents) or nail polish. I have short blonde hair and very fair skin, so I wear pinks for lips and lighter colors for makeup.

I love anything tie dye or animal print. My preferred colors are pastels or brights as opposed to dark or neutral colors. Clothes size L.

As far as fitness-related items, I pretty much have any DVDs I want so there are none on my wish list currently.

Thank you!

Kim

I can always use: colored pencils, graphite and drawing pencils, sketchpads, charcoal, brushes, etc. I work in a variety of media.

I also like:

an interesting coffee mug (I have a collection)

I hope all of you have a wonderful Holiday season!
