Secret Santa Hints - (The All-in-One Version)

What are things that you need in your home, you know, for final touches??? Paintings?
Pillows?
Picture Frames?
Candles?
Kitchen Towels?

And: What is kitties favorite toy that keeps getting destroyed because he/she plays with it so much?

If I were anywhere near finished decorating the house, I would know what my finishing touches were!

I've changed a lot of the light fixtures in the house to brushed nickel and I do not have many brushed nickel accessories.

kitchen towels are always good!
frames are always good!


Abby likes anything that resembles milk jug tabs, and she likes "softer toys" - for ex fabric balls over plastic balls.

What are your favorite scents and what totally turns you off?

I love all kinds of vanilla and Cinnamon and chocolate and well, I guess you could say food, candy and baked good scents! I liek all of the scents of Fall. I like fruity scents too, but not raspberry.

I do not like very strong perfume scents. I like some flowery scents, but again, nothing too strong. I do not like a fake rose scent. .

I think I need starting touches, let alone finishing touches!

As for cat toys, Trent adores any honeysuckle toy. He keeps losing his and just when ti think I have to break open another package he finds it and brings one out again. I would love to be able to give him new ones, though. Too bad I can't find any locally!

Vanilla and fall/winter scents. I don't like the real flowery stuff, and unfortunately anything but really high end perfume just smells like straight alcohol to me. Baked goods scents are pretty good. I also love lavendar, patchouli and most incense.

I like warm spicey odors as well as baked goods. I also like summer ones like cut grass or the clean cotton scents. I usually use the warm scents in my home when its chilly out. Makes me feel warm all over.

can't STAND floral or perfume scents!!! The biggest ick is plumeria.

What is a honeysuckle toy??

Hey maybe I could respond to my own questions!!!

I always need kitchen towels. I love the oversized flour sack towels. Also a fan of the yankee candle tarts.... I have a microfiber sofa that is a mocha color and could use some extra color.... my curtains are maroon and the carpet has cream, mocha, maroon and blue.....

Meish doesn't have a fav. toy really.... she loves her cat dancer though. Most of her toys have been taken over by the dog. Poor kitty.

Vanilla......or like fruity scents....I'm not too hard to please

It's a toy that's filled with honeysuckle instead of catnip. Honeysuckle is another herb that kitties go nuts on, and many times works for kitties who don't have a reaction to catnip.

Pat has a good FAQ about Honeysuckle on Plain Bown Tabby: http://www.catniptoys.com/honeysuckle_faq.htm (My Trent must be an anomaly. He likes both catnip and honeysuckle!) And she has catnip toys too: http://catniptoys.com/Merchant2/merc...tegory_Code=HO

This place has a good selection of honeysuckle toys: http://www.catnipetc.com/honeysuckle.html

Huh! Learn something new every day!!

What kind of frames do you like?? And i know that there is a scent thread but maybe state here as well what scents you enjoy? If you SS reads this specific things would be super!!!

I also like vanilla and coffee scents. And I love clean cotton or fresh comfort.

I hate "fall" type smells like cinnamon or pumpkin.

How do you pamper yourself at home for 'me' time? What things can you never get enough of because you use them up so fast?


Me: I love the Gerber Grins and Giggles body wash and body lotion in oatmeal and lavender. I enjoy bubble baths and reading while in the tub with my britta of water with me. I could use a new bath pillow.... Meish poked holes in mine.... she apparently thought the terrycloth felt neat on her claws.

I also love doing my finger and toenails!!! My toes are always painted even though no one really sees them.

I absolutely LOVE raspberry candle scents from Bath and Body Works. Love lavender, honeysuckle and rose scents. Thats about it for me-- Im kinda picky in that regard-- not much for cucumber melon or other fruity smells or vanilla or coffee type scents.

I love the smell of apple/cinnamon and vanilla

My home is still pretty bare..(we just moved in here 2 months ago), I am a huge picture nut...so I can never have enough frames and I love black and white photographs of just about everythign.

i love the smell of vanilla. One time I ordered candle scents from a compay called Partylite and the smell for a candle they had was called Birthday Cake and boy wouls I liked to eat that candle! lol

I love Partylite!!! I got some candle holders from them as well as tealights and some voties. I have the pumpkin and the christmas tree and christmas spice. Mmmmm....


Wonder if anyone around here does candle parties.....
