Wow, 4-5 pages to read since this morning...

I have started my shopping... went to Toronto Premium Outlet and got some fantastic stuff for my buddy... and for myself

Thank you buddy for giving me an opportunity to shop for you and for me... I luv my Tory Burch wallet... (cost an arm and a leg) but will make every effort to make you happy

What else have I done since? Redeem my swagbucks for a purchase for my buddy...

I will post tomorrow to keep it as a post for my buddy to refer to when I am more sane to answer questions!

[julesie-pie]

Buddy, would you be interested in Epicure products? If so, which ones?

15. Buddy, do you have any use for handmade christmas tags, cards/enevelope?

We don't exchange Christmas cards so would have no use for the cards or envelopes... However Dh (who wraps 99% of the gifts) usually uses the back (unprinted white side) of the scraps of wrapping paper to label who the gifts are to/from as it usually saves on wasted paper. So it would be great to have some custom Christmas tags.

Buddy, would you be interested in Epicure products? If so, which ones?

i checked out epicure.com and here is a small list of things I think Dh would like (and a couple desserts I would like him to make).

*Basting Brush
*Ceramic Y-Peeler
*Collapsible Strainer
*Piano Wire Whisk
*Spill No More
*Bake & Roll
*Penguin Pal Pops (set of 2)
*Waffle Mold
*Crisper
*Eggnog Cheesecake Mix
*Chocolate Velvet Cheesecake Mix

So 233 is my post!

Now for my question:
15. Buddy, do you have any use for handmade christmas tags, cards/enevelope?

Gift tags, yes. But I don't send out a lot of cards so I wouldn't need those.

Buddy, would you be interested in Epicure products? If so, which ones?

ANY of the dip mixes!!!

I'm heading to the Disney store today, any specific character you're looking for in ornament form?

[coupontime]

Post #248 will be my answers.

Questions

1. Buddy do you have any Christmas items wishes?? I think I included in on my wishlist, but gift tags would be sufficient
2. What kids of things is/are your child/children into?? My kids are my 60/70 year old parents
3. Buddy, do you like to bake? Cooking is not forte, and I don’t use the oven
4. Buddy do you have a current coupon wishlist? I have an outdated one
5. Do you want any samples that came out this year? I get samples myself, I just can’t think of any in particular
6. Do you have long or short hair? My length is usually shoulder length to 3-4 inches longer than that
7. When is your birthday? Aug 22
8. Do you mind or like DIYs? I like cross stitching, plastic canvas and resin jewelry
9. Do you enjoy card and/or board games? I do collect Monopoly in the past but more and more rare now, the only one that I think I would like would be Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2 and the 80^th Anniversary Version of the Monopoly Games
10. What is one item/product that you love but never buy for yourself? I’m thinking hard on this one, will get back to you hopefully I think of something (As of right now, the only thing I can think of is trouble to get the whole set of the Peanuts toys from McDs which started out yesterday but I have started my collection)
11. Do you and or your children like to make crafts? If so is there anything you would like for crafting? My children = My aging parents don’t like me crafting, never mind whether they like crafting, but clearly I do
12. Buddy, do you have a wax melter/warmer. If so, are you looking for melts? Which scents do you like? Prefer not to get any of these.
13. As the 13th is our gag gift day what type of gift would you be ok with adult or more geared toward children? I think I mentioned that on my WL
14. Buddy- If you have children, what sizes do they wear? Not Applicable
15. Buddy, do you have any use for handmade christmas tags, cards/enevelope? In my wishlist, gift tags would be great. Handmade would be a bonus. No cards/envelopes, I stocked up from the Hallmark warehouse sale back in February/March
16. Buddy, would you be interested in Epicure products? If so, which ones? I will pass on this, since not much cooking
17. I'm heading to the Disney store today, any specific character you're looking for in ornament form? The ornament will go to my sister, so I will be greedy to say I am not looking for anything from Disney. I would love to get a 50th anniversary ornament of Snoopy from Hallmark!
18. Buddy - what size is your dog? - Buddy, I have no pets
19. Question for my buddy. I have sent homemade beef jerky on packages before and it was a hit. Our whole family lives it. Would you be ok with homemade? As much as I love to try, my dad who is my baby boy here likes to sneak and find snacks... he is a diabetic and has kidney and cholesterol issues (that list just goes endless), I will have to say no, but thank you.
20. Buddy, is there anything that you forgot on you wishlist that you would like to add? Lots and I will keep thinking, so keep checking
21. What colours do(es) your kid(s) like(s)? Any preferences? No kids
22. Do(es) your kid(s) into make-up yet? If yes, what kind? No kids
23. Do(es) your kid(s) have(s) any skin/scent allergies? No kids but I already indicated in my WL I do have skin issues
24. If your kid(s) like(s) craft, what kind of material do they use (i.e. pencils or paints, what kind of markers or pencils for coloring, foam or felt, etc.)? No kids
25. What kind of candies do(es) your kid(s) like(s)? Stated in wishlist, lifesaver peppermints make me happy
26. Do(es) your kid(s) have(s) any favorite places (i.e. McDonald's, Wendy's, etc.)? How would they feel about receiving a gift card or let's say a coupon book for that place? GC does not have to be my kid's, I got none, I'm good with places that are located in Toronto
27. How do you feel about hand made things (i.e. hand made scarf, socks, gloves, blanket, napkins, etc.)? Would you like to get something for yourself or perhaps your kid(s)? Gloves and blankets are nice for me
28. Would you or your kid(s) be interested in receiving small craft kits from Michael's to make something together (i.e. cross stitch pattern with threads provided, mealty beads to make a toy, foam kit, 3D structure, glimmer art, etc.)? I'll pass on this one as I do my DIYs
29. Would you prefer the train to be aimed for just you or your whole family?? I think I have incorporated them wherever possible, but this train will mostly be for me
30. What do your husbands like if you have one?It's me me and me, no husband!
31. For those you love David Tea! Would you prefer another store brand? Apparently David Tea is 45 minutes away from me Steeped tea and black tea is cool. I don't like Chai tea, I'm happy with Teavana tea such as the Pineapple Kona Pop and the Peach Green Tea.
32. Buddy- do you drink? Wine, Liquor? If so, what do you prefer? Only drink when it's Christmas party at work, and have to go down slowly or else I'll get rashes... That being said, unless it's your last resort, I don't mind getting a Khalua, lol.
