Christmas Presents - HELP !!!!!

OK all,

I need help with getting ready some Xmas presents ......

So could each of you please fill in the following info.  Please be aware this does not necessarily mean you will get all or indeed anything from this list (or anything from me at all) .... depends on time, health and finances.

And yes I know it would have helped if I had gotten my slugbutt into gear months ago!

Do you use bar soap or do you prefer liquid soaps and detergents?
Do you take Baths or are you a shower person?
Do you take bubble baths?
Do you use lip balm?  Flavoured?
Do you indulge in massages?
What is your favourite type of chocolate? White, milk, dark, how dark can you get?
What is your favourite colour to display in your bathroom?
What is your favourite colour to display in your bedroom?
What scents do you like?  Warm/cool?  Woody/herby/oriental/spicy/sensual/citrus/floral?

What sort of cross stitch stash do you most like receiving at Xmas? floss/charts/fabric/kits?

Thanks all

This is all just food for thought for me - and I've opened this up to my network so that we can all see other people's responses in case it gives anyone else any ideas ..... feel free to PM me privately instead if you wish.

Hi Mel,

I am almost done with Christmas cards, 23 to go! I have only 7 more cookies to make! I might see the internet more often after this next week! Yeah!

I use bar soap.
I use liquid soap as a hand wash.
I shower.
I do take bubble baths!
I use Carmex - regular and strawberry flavored.
I love massages but rarely get them.
I love milk chocolate but can do dark since it is better for you - I think it is 65%.
Light blue to go with the dolphins in the bathroom.
Want my bedroom to be dolphins or baby white seals - right now it is light purple.
Scents - florals, not sure what Celine Dion is classified but I love that type of smell.

Stash at Xmas - fabric. I have too much of everything else but I always need to buy fabric when I decide to do something. I have lots of SW monthly things but they are on the smaller size. My projects are usually bigger. LOL!

Plain old Vaseline for dry lips

I was quite good! I pm'd The Minion and didn't even mention the idea of a stitching commune!!!

BTW speaking of Christmas/Yule gifts - I think I will have a happy BOFH this year! I just received his gift through the mail http://www.leathermans.co.uk/Leatherman-Charge-TTi.html plus the add on bits and bobs!

Claire EJ said...

Wow, if I had the money, I would buy a "Crunch" for Steve. He'd have everything in the one place then and still manage to lose it.
I love the gardening ones. They seem so much tougher than the fakes/copies of this brand.
Nice gift! M should like it very much.

Hilary Syddall said...

Well being an uber geek he likes these toys! & he has been thinking about getting one for ages - it has taken 5 years for me to get this for him!

Melissa Hicks said...
