Scrapbook - I don't but DD#1 is making one....I would love some travel/UK/Grandparent stickers etc for her

Pets -unflavored popcorn (for air popper) is always a hit with Bacon, also would love to find an indestructible ball/Kong for him. The cats are well stocked on treats and toys. Tess can always use tennis balls, and busy bones.

[juliejolie]

Michaels: Surprisingly nothing I can think of right now
Homemade gift: Baking and/or practical would be great! Practical things my DD could use like a hairclip holder (butterfly design/motif), stroller blanket that can attach (if you can sew), standard pillowcase (no fleece, butterflies or ni hao kai-lan), sewed toys (fruits/vegetables/animals)

[juliejolie]

Scrapbook: I dont scrapbook, sorry
Pets: Dont have any

[FallenPixels]

YES!! Most of the list for DH is things from the UK. Any chocolate or candy, Ribena, D&B, chocolate covered biscuits, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. We're planning on going back to England in Oct, I think I am going to bring cases of Cornflakes back -he LOOOOVES them!

haha I recently had relatives over and they wouldn't eat even regular corn flakes over here, thin and gross LOL

[PammieD]

Yay! Slam and I are pretty pumped! You guys are all so chatty and "into" the train Did I mention this train is going to be EPIC? It also sounds like everyone's pretty happy with their buddies which makes us happy! We put some serious thought into who we partnered! IF anyone is having problems with their buddy list, please PM us (both of us so that we can get back to you faster). We checked the lists mostly for too much brand name or tricky stuff...but if you need more ideas, the questions are a great way to start, and we can always PM your buddy for specific answers etc. Feel no fear!

[PammieD]

Ohhhh Armygirl!!!

Answers below in Purple

Soooo buddy....I've got a couple questions for ya:

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. Fudge or Shortbread would be great, both are on my wish list. Please not Macaroons coconut allergy

Would you like anything from Michaels?Only items on my wishlist please, my mom works there and I am pretty sure we are opening a two level location between our basement and living/dinning room

Buddy do you like zodiac stuff? If so what's your sign?I am Aries but please no Zodiac stuff, not really my thing.

Buddy for the homemade gift would you like baking, practical or decorative? And you aren't allowed to say "whatever you decide". Lol for my homemade gift I would love practical or decorative but only because I am trying to lose weight But, but, but you took my answer, I was going to say to decide. But to be serious Decorative would be great as I am re doing my bedroom, any accents in Hot Pink, Black or Silver would be great.

Would my buddy like a dream catcher ? No Thank you, I have one I made when I was a kid and it is still in one piece.

#1. How are you with things from the bath and body works or body shop??? Bubble bath, shimmer spray, lotions etc?? Any Foot Scrubs or Lotions in Peppermint, or Any Hand Soaps in Citrus Scents would be great as I cannot shop in these stores, the moment I walk in my allergies start to bug me.

#2. Would you like any glade products?? Scented oil Candels ( the ones that melt in the pretty burners ) or plug in's, spray refills etc??? Any products we use are listed on my wishlist as well as the scents we can use, again with those darn allergies.

Thanks in advance

Dear buddy, I live close to a British store and several European stores, is there anything you would like from the other side of the pond?Oh no answering this is going to cause some sugar cravings, if you have any local German stores I LOVE German Gummy Bears (these are so amazing), or from the British Store I would have to say Shortbread. Yep now I want gummy bears and shortbread and my morning snack is an apple, I am sure I can convince it is just as good

Buddy, while cleaning my house I thought of some questions for you.... ( yes I am that addicted that it sneaks into all my thoughts, anyways have to make cleaning somewhat fun )

1. What is your favorite color?
2. What is that one thing that you really, really want, but wont buy for yourself?

Love jewel tones, thistle colors (purple and green)

One thing I won't buy for myself.... ugh. Dream items would be a soda stream machine or a juicer lol. More reasonable things would be nice gardening gloves, silicone baking mat, new undies although the pantaloon train did restock me a little. I am a 3x in that department but working on a smaller booty. Can you buy 'time for me'? I am terrible for not taking time to get a manicure, or even a hair cut - I find it hard to justify spending money on me. I would love a new 'attitude' to install in my 15 dd. I will think more on this, my mind is blank....

Soooo buddy....I've got a couple questions for ya:

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.

Would you like anything from Michaels?

I would love anything homemade - fudge is on my list - particularily old school fudge, not cheater fudge made with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.

Michaels... oh how I love thee. I have several items on my list for my girl guides that can come from Michaels. DH and both dd's love to paint, mostly acrylic and water colors. I love storage stuff, cake stuff, beads, stickers, card making things, I would love to emboss. Surprise me!

Dear buddy, I live close to a British store and several European stores, is there anything you would like from the other side of the pond?

We love anything Scottish here, CLB got us some kind of vanilla fudgy stuff a while back and dh loved it. I can't remember the name of it. Post it notes, clan stuff. oldest dd needs her own kilt pin for her pipe band kilt. Surprise me here too!

So here are a few questions from me to my buddy...

Do you scrapbook?
Would you like treats for your pets and/or toys?

I don't actively scrapbook but look scrapbook stuff.
I have some pet items I am looking for on my list - we have a 3 month old bernese mountain dog puppy that LOVES toys and to play so if you know of something that you think she would love - by all means send it my way. She loves her huggle hound, dinosaur nylabone, squeaky things, crinkly things. No rope toys please, fleecy braided knotty one are cool though.


I have my buddy and am so excited. It's raining here today, I don't feel like doing much of anything. I think I am having a fibromyalgia flare up as I really can't get out of my own way. I have all kinds of things I WANT to do but just no energy. It could also be the antibiotics I am on for my dead tooth and abcess No more pain from that though thank goodness.

[CouponLadybird]

oooooo thought of something else for my list UK stuff (bluz's post reminded me ) Kendal Mint Cake! yummmmm............

[coyote00]

Glade products: sure
Bath & Body, ect: yes, but no bath specific products (bath salts, bubble bath ect) - lotions and such are great
Pet Treats: absolutely
Dream Catcher: sure

[bluzsuz]
