Holiday Exchange Wishlist!

I got my giftee's name this morning! Yay! I didn't see a wishlist thread so I'm starting this one. It's my first time participating and I'm so excited!!!! ( I hardly know my giftee...)

Dear Secret Santa,
I'm happy to be participating in this holiday tradition. It will feel so nice to get something fitness-y from someone who gets my love for fitness DVDs and my excitement over getting one in the mail. I don't know anyone in real life who feels the way I do about fitness stuff!
Used DVDs are more than fine. I LOVE giving a new home to a DVD that has been used. I only ask that it not be scratched because my DVD player won't play it.
We are Christian and celebrate Christmas. This year we are looking into making a Jesse Tree and reading the stories with our children. I've never done this before!

Here's a list of things I like to help you find a gift for me. These are ideas meant to help you, not a wishlist of things I expect!

Fitness related wishes:
- V.Method Cardio Vusion
- Jennifer Galardi Barre Breakthru
- Jules Benson Total Core Pilates
- 10MS Butt Lift
- Tracey Mallett F.I.T
- Firm Express: Kelsey's workouts.

Non-fitness related:
- Books. I really like Maeve Binchy, Sophie Kinsella, Cecelia Ahern, John Grisham. I haven't read the newest by any of them. I'd love to read "The Christmas Candle" by Max Lucado. Used is more than fine! I've updated my wishlist at Amazon.co.uk
- Window hanging decorations.
- Warm socks. European size 38
- Chai tea. I love the stuff!
- Calendars with nice pictures.
- I would rather not get any sweets or chocolates in the mail. I do a lot of baking with the children in December, and the whole month seems to be all about eating chocolate and too many sweets.

That's all I can come up with right now If I think of anything else, I'll come back and edit.

Please don't spend more than you can afford!

I am going to have so much fun picking out things for my giftee as nobody but my fitness forum friends get my passion for fitness.

Thank you Anne for organizing this.

More about me. I have lupus so I have to be very careful about food and skin products. I usually shop at local farmers markets or whole foods as I eat organic.

Most “scented” things are triggers for me, unfortunately. I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Huckleberry. He is the joy of my life.

I celebrate Chanukah but enjoy the holiday spirit of all faiths.

Here are some of my wishes. Know, truly, I will be ecstatic over with anything someone wishes to share with me.

Spinervals - "On The Road" 7.0 - Kona, HI Training Ride
Any Spinervals Competition Series from 39.0 - 44.0
Extreme Burn Mike Donavanik
Extreme Burn-Metabolic Conditioning Mike Donavanik
Rachel Cosgrove's Drop Two Sizes
KCM Trim Down
Any Cathe from her latest series
Any Horizontal Conditioning
Any Margaret Richard
Any Classical Stretch

Other Stuff
Nice Workout Headbands
Nut Butters
Nut Mixes/Trail Mixes
2014 Calendar
Any Garden of Wisdom Skincare Products
Any Burt’s Bees products
Firewalker Band for Cathe DVDs
Terry Cotton Headbands

This is my first year participating. I'm SOOO excited
To my Secret Santa thank you so much! And please don't stress. I would love/appreciate anything you send me

So here is my suggested Wishlist:

DVDs: new or used is fine
Pure Spice Cinnamon-Christi Taylor
Kickbox Burn-Patrick Goudeau/ Heather Corndorf
Bodystrikes Volume 3-Ilaria Montagnani
Walk to the Hits Party Songs-Leslie Sansone (preorder)
Befit: 30-Day Butt Lift-Alicia Marie and Courtney Prather (preorder)


I just recently started Weight Watchers and I'm doing well so I'd really appreciate no goodies. I can't handle the temptation

Other Stuff Suggestions:
Anything to do with Shoes As you can probably tell by my username I LOVE shoes. Anything that is designed or shaped like or has a shoe printed on I would love.
Candles: I love spicy scents like Apple Cinnamon, Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon Spice. Also the holiday scents...pumpkin, nutmeg, gingerbread. Please no flowery scents.
Hair Claw Clips: I use these to pin back my hair when working out and usually can never find one in the house when I need it
Dangle Pierced Earrings. Target, Walmart, Kohl's stuff
Sparkly Nail Polish: I use gels on my hands but love the new sparkly polishes for my toes.
Post Its, Pads, Note Cubes: I'm a note taker. I have notes/post its plastered all over the place. Easier for me to remember things.
Bookmakers: I love to read books so cool bookmarkers would be nice.
Chapstick or Lip Balm: Cannot live without this stuff.

Received my giftee's name this morning and am SO excited!!!

First, a big thanks to Anne for organizing this event every year. And another big thanks to my Secret Santa, whoever you are.

My wish list is small because I'm paring down my collection and don't have much on my radar. Please know that I'll be happy with whatever you send.

DVDs (used is fine)
Laura Tarbell Ultimate Abs and Core
Wii Just Dance 3
Wii Just Dance 4
Pure Spice: Cinnamon (added 10/29)
Leslie Sansone Walk to the Hits Party Songs (pre-order to be released Dec. 3)

Other Ideas
My avatar kind of sums it up: I like anything that’s simple, cozy, cute, and feminine. Although I work full-time and have limited time for hobbies, I do enjoy knitting (quick projects like socks, mittens, scarves, and cowls) and quilting (modern design and small, quick projects). Other favorites: scented soaps, shower gels, and hand cream (fresh scents like lavender, jojoba oil, and almond), notepads, notebooks, journals, and cool pens, various black or herbal teas (except green), coffee (we just bought a Keurig), warm socks, Peanuts characters, big mugs, yarn, and books (mysteries, memoirs, fiction, nonfiction, biographies). I ask that you not send any food or candy gifts because I’m working diligently on losing weight.
