My monsters are too big for a crayon caddy
Scrapbook stuff? Always welcome in this house!
I don't do bubble baths, but lotions and sprays are cool - especially from the body shop!
Used books? For sure! We are a half way hippie house LOL we recycle and up-cycle everything we can
Pets? I have 2 cats that love to be spoiled and a giant tank of freshwater fish
Cross border - anything we can't get here would be awesome
European store - I would happily kill someone for a clear umbrella
Clothing - Chuck is impossible to buy for. My boys Gavin is a size 7/8 and is a little on the preppy side, he loves button up shirts and khakis . Jesse is an 8/10 and is straight rocker (straight leg jeans, band T's, skulls ect LOL) I swear, they could not be more different. I like flowy tops that aren't too low cut in bright colors and prints. I am an XL and I think I mentioned I would love one of those super cute one sleeve tops :) If you are buying clothes, 2 things to remember. I have a long torso, so buy long and of course, secondhand is fine with me!
LMAO I would love to tell those Mommas that toddlers get better as they get older - but I am not a liar HA HA HAQuote:

8. What is that one thing that you really, really want, but wont buy for yourself?
Man, this is always a hard question. There's a few things that I would love to have but just haven't brought myself...really, a lot of things on my list are things I want but just can't bring myself to buy sometimes.
9. Would you appreciate something homemade by me like fudge, shortbread or coconut macaroons? In trying to keep with the Christmas theme, this was my homemade idea.
I don't like fudge but shortbread and coconut macaroons sound delicious. I'm not supposed to have dairy, wheat, rice, and soy right now unfortunately but if you can find a way to bake without those things...great! =)
10. Would you like anything from Michaels? I love almost anything from Michaels but over the past trains I"ve also noticed I'm kind of particular! A giftcard isn't as personal but would probably allow me to pick and choose what I want. that being said, don't feel you need to get me a GC! OH!!!!!!!! wait, just thought of something. I need a double sided tape runner for scrapbooking....to put on the back of cardstock, etc.
for the homemade gift would you like baking, practical or decorative? And you aren't allowed to say "whatever you decide"
For the homemade gift....eitiher baking or practical. Isn't baking practical? haha. But not decorative as although it might be nice, it may just sit and collect dust.
11. Would my buddy like a dream catcher ? No thank you.
12. How are you with things from the bath and body works or body shop??? Bubble bath, shimmer spray, lotions etc?? I don't mind some of these things but I have quite a bit of lotions and things. My boyfriend would love bubble bath...DMS54 gave him a lovely blueberry bubble bath and he loves it. I guess for me...from body shop it would be one of their body butters like mango....and from bath and body works...I do like their three wick candles but am pretty particular about smells. sorry!
13. Would you like any glade products?? Scented oil Candles ( the ones that melt in the pretty burners ) or plug in's, spray refills etc???
No thank you!
14. I live close to a British store and several European stores, is there anything you would like from the other side of the pond?
Oooooh! Yeah, my boyfriend's mom is British and so she would love anything from there in terms of snacks and treats. That would be so special!
15. Do you scrapbook? Mhm. In fact, I just finished two scrapbooks. one for my boyfriend's birthday and one for my nephew. But as mentioned, it's so hard to state what I want when it comes to scrapbook.
16. Would you like treats for your pets and/or toys? No toys for my pets, we have quite a bit. Treats are always nice and welcome although nothing with fish. But more importantly I need something for their teeth, like cat toothpaste or a toothbrush. haha.
17. Buddy, would you and your family like any clothing? If so, what? And what are your sizes?
I think for me I would love some more tank tops - size medium (old navy sizes).
And even though I am not on the kiddie train, my nephew Tobias would love a crayon caddy (home made)!!
Yuppers! If they're in good condition I sure am!Quote:
