so tempting.....I haven't been around much since the last advent train, I could use some SC fun! I have to check the budget and decide.

I'm the same way. I haven't rode a train in so long but I miss it...oh man. one day to decide. what to do? what to do?

Sadly im going to pass I would want to spoil my buddy and it just isnt in my budget at the moment I will pop in occasionally have fun

Wishlist sent. Can't wait to start shopping!

[wendyjane]

mixture for me too
ie: Lindor red chocolate balls of deliciousness for specific item, gum or xmas ornament for less specific

I'm trying to do a mix for mine. I find that vague is often stressful when shopping - for me anyway, so I try to give a less specific option without being too elusive!

Most times I also include a little intro / about me paragraph with my wishlist so that my buddy knows a little more about me.
