Great ZOT, that's a lot of questions!! OK, here we go...

Secret Santa Questions

What are you favorite types of food? I like most food, and I like trying new things, especially if my SS is from another part of the world.
Favorite types of chocolate? I'm a bit of a chocolate snob, I guess, i.e. don't really care for the domestic newsstand offerings. Any European -- Belgian, Swiss, in particular -- is wonderful, and while I like it all, I prefer dark.
Favorite scents for candles? Not into scented candles.
Favorite scents for lotions? Not into scented toiletries.
If you like to read, do you have a problem with receiving a used book? Not at all. Sometimes the 'perfect' thing is only available that way
Do you collect anything? Not really.
What is your favorite color? Not one colour in particular, but anything in the intersection of blue/green/grey, either earth tones or jewel tones. Black is also good. Best to avoid pink.
If your SS is from overseas, is there anything special you would like them to include? I'd love something that has local significance where you live, be it art or food.

What colors are the rooms in your home?
Rental beige

what is your decorating style?
Non-descript hodgepodge

Do you enjoy puzzles like crosswords, sudoku, wordsearches? On occasion.
How do you feel about black & white photos? Love them.
Do you like to bake? Sometimes. Well, I do, but I don't get around to it very often.
What is one thing you absolutely DONT want from your SS? I can't really think of anything I feel that vehemently opposed to.

We should also include our fav types of movies, music and books!

Movies: There's a stack of unwatched movies by the TV like you wouldn't believe! If you have in mind something unusual, maybe a Snooper can ferret out enough information to determine whether it would be appropriate.
Music: Classical is safest.
Books: Sort of the same situation as movies.

Do you have pierced ears? Yes. Are you allergic to any kinds of metal? Almost everything sets them off within a few hours, so I don't wear earrings that often any more
, but I do still enjoy them, and put up with the irritation from time to time.

Do you like jewelry? What kinds? I don't wear a lot of jewellery, mostly just earrings, and sometimes a plain gold chain or two .
How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats! Two kitties. Fawn and Cindy enjoy catnip, Cindy likes honeysuckle. The toys that contain these move around the house a lot. Pretty much everything else gets ignored, except the laser. The only treats they go for are Temptations. Other things, thus far, are interesting when the package is opened, and a total bore the second time.
But anything is worth a try.

Does your pet (s) have any allergies to certaint foods/treats that should be avoided? None that we're aware of.
What kind of magazines do you enjoy reading? Not really into magazines.
What are your favorite "comfort" things that make you happy? Playing in the kitchen -- and then sharing the result with my sweetie.
Are there any scents (candles/perfume/etc) that should be avoided due to allergies? No allergies, but not that much into scented stuff.

What size shirt do you wear? T-shirt XL; Sweatshirt XXL
Are you allergic to nuts? No. But one of the few food things I really dislike is peanuts -- don't mind them in things, but by themselves, I really don't care for them.
Do you have an IPod or MP3 player? No.
Are you into crafts? What kinds? I used to knit, sew, even did some calligraphy, but haven't done any of them for a long time.
Do you paint your nails? What tones? No.
How old are you? (roughly will do fine) 20 yr olds tend to like diff things than 50 yr olds 60+

What are your hobbies?! Cooking, choral singing, reading when I have time.

Do you like homemade gifts? Certainly.
If so, what kinds? Whatever you make.

Would you eat homemade cookies sent by a person you only know via the internet? Not just anyone, but the people who participate in SS are not "just anyone". So, yeah, in this context I would.

What are your favorite kinds of cookies, esp. holiday cookies? Shortbread. Things that are not overly sweet.

Are there any ingredients that should be avoided (i.e. something you hate or are allergic to)? See previous reference to peanuts. Also not that keen on coconut. Not a deal-breaker, but not my first choice. No allergies or other food sensitivites.

Do you live in a house or an apartment?? House

Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present? Sure.

Do you like to recieve speciality socks as a gift? Socks are fun.

Do you like throws/blankets? Sure.

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? Blue/green/grey, in earth tones or jewel tones -- depending to some extent on the article.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? They do. I buy one particular brand that seems to be the only one that is made of a stretchy fabric AND has safety catches AND has a reflector strip. Lots have two of those three features, but the only one I've seen with all of them is Tenth Life, and I buy keep a spare for each cat at all times.

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) Express yourself!

Do you like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate? Like them all, drink mostly coffee -- dark roasts.

Sweet or salty snacks? If so, what are your favorites? Other than chocolate (see above), salty.

Do you like receiving gift cards? Gift cards are good, if I've really got you stumped. But a gift you chose or made is special.

Do you like burned music cds or originals? Originals.

Do you like cookbooks? If so, are there any in particular you would like? LOOOOOOVE cookbooks. Anything that concentrates on a particular cuisine, or aspect of food or cooking. I don't use many of the recipes in the books I have, but they are a great resource, and source of inspiration for this seat-of-the-pants cook.

Do you decorate your Christmas tree/house in certain colors? The tree, when we do put it up (not every year) is tiny white lights and ornaments of clear or amber glass or pewter, plus a handful of sentimental ornaments, e.g. a small red apple that my mother loved, a crocheted snowflake my SIL made.

Phew!

Do you have pierced ears? Are you allergic to any kinds of metal? Yes, but I can only wear gold so that pretty well scratches that off the SS list.

Do you like jewelry? What kinds? I wear a lot of pins.

How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats! Five cats. Toys are pretty easy - just about anything! They vary so much that it isn't hard to find something they will like. Treats are more difficult. Mojo will eat anything, but if my SS is from England we got some Thrive fish treats from a SS one year and she LOVES those fishy treats! Can't find the right consistency here. Annie only likes moist treats, not crunchy treats. It's hit or miss with both Ophelia and Ginger. They will like something one night, and not the next.
Trent likes Whisker Lickin's, especially the Milk and Cheese and Chicken and Cheese flavors.

I know that's not much help for SS, but this year I'm appreciating the important things.

Are there any scents (candles/perfume/etc) that should be avoided due to allergies? Nothing too strong b/c of DH

What are your hobbies?! Cross stitching, high power rifle competition shooting and coordinating for the team.

Do you like homemade gifts? Oh yes!
If so, what kinds? Well, that depends on what kind of things my SS makes!


Would you eat homemade cookies sent by a person you only know via the internet? Yup.

Are there any ingredients that should be avoided (i.e. something you hate or are allergic to)? Bananas

Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) They are pretty open and fairly good about toys.

Do you live in a house or an apartment?? Townhome, so neither.


Do you prefer bath or shower products? What scents do you like best? Honestly, I take as short of showers as possible, so bath & shower products probably wouldn't get much use.

What kind of toys do your kitties/other animals like to play with best? Sparkly poms. Da Bird. Anything Catnip.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? Haven't been able to get one on them yet.


What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) I love snowflakes, but it's what's inside the paper that matters.


Do you like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate? Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Sweet or salty snacks? If so, what are your favorites? Usually salty, but sometimes sweet & salty together (carmel corn is a good example).

Do you like receiving gift cards? Sure.


Do you like burned music cds or originals? Most of our music is MP3s on the computer any more. But I do still like to be able to read the liners and have the original CD when possible.

Do you like cookbooks? If so, are there any in particular you would like? Yup, but I don't use them as much as I would like. I love cookie cookbooks because I use those most often.

Do you decorate your Christmas tree/house in certain colors? Well, I prefer burgundy or blue but DH is more of a traditional multi-color, no theme decorations. So we generally go with the eclectic look.
