We can PM your SS for you and keep you anonymous, and gently point them in the direction of this thread...

Also if your person hasn't answered all of the questions (I am guilty of this) and you really need them to, we can ask them to come back and answer more.

Could be that your SS knows what they are getting you already!

Yeah, you've been here a while...could be that your SS knows you pretty well...hmmm...

You also answered some of the questions already!

Hmmmm, I wonder if that means that my SS knows me well too!

Per a anonymous request from my SS:

For finishing touches, I still have some wallspace, and have been looking for nice floral or nature scenes. My place is primarily decorated in soft colors, rose, blue, green.

I like candles, fall scents, but tend to forget I have them! I can always use kitchen towels and potholders. My kitchen is primarily black and white.

To pamper myself, I love taking bubble baths, any scent is fine and curl up with a good book.

I don't really need any knick-knack type stuff. I'm already running out of shelf space.

For the kitties, can always use those tiny gray or white stuffed mice or
some kind of toy that hangs from the doorway.

Hope that helps!

I need: gloves - medium or one size fits all (even though I live in Florida), pot holders, dish towels, body lotion, fuzzy socks in blue or white, and computer-sized stationery.
This is Soooo... fun!

Oliver loves catnip.
Tripod adores mouseys.

I'm having a great time looking for clues. I may not even need to call on the powers of "The Snooping Santas." Hehe.

Okay, got a note from my "Snooping Santa" <grin> :

Let's see what I can do here ... I didn't answer all of the questions in an attempt to keep this a little shorter. Some just didn't apply, or were based on an affirmative answer to a previous question.

What are things that you need in your home, you know, for final touches???
Stuff for the walls. Kitchen could use something.
Paintings?
Classical style is welcome. Love impressionist like Monet, Manet, etc. I do not care for abstract.
Candles?
Always <grin>! Floral scents like lavender or lilac, or spicy scents are good. Patchouli. I don't care for "kitchen" scents like vanilla, apple pie, etc.
Kitchen Towels?
That'll work! Kitchen is burgundy with ivy and grape motif.
What is kitties favorite toy that keeps getting destroyed because he/she plays with it so much?
We're talking about somebody who will ignore a $5 cat toy to play with a leaf here : ...
What are your favorite scents and what totally turns you off?
Tea Rose. Do not like vanilla (except in cooking <grin>)
How do you pamper yourself at home for 'me' time?
I don't <sad>.
If it gets cold where you live, how do you keep warm when you go outside?
This is Alabama , but usually jacket, muffler, and toboggan hat (I think some folks call them bobble hats.) I get cold easily.
Okay, lets say I'm crafty and can make you a scarf (if you wear them).... what colors in yarn would you want??
Dark greens; OR purple would be good.
New question, do you collect anything?
Fairies, gargoyles, dragons, stuff with celtic knotwork on it. I LOVE celtic knotwork.
Like to cook? or hate to cook?
The whole cooking thing does not apply. The DH does most of that these days <grin>.
Any particular treat/food you can't get enough of?
Chocolate, especially raspberry and chocolate <drool>
Pierced ears or not?
Pierced, but I seldom wear jewelry.
Favorite colour?
Purple, green, cool colors. Not much of a warm color (reds, oranges, etc,) type of person despite the color of my living room <rolleyes2>
Favourite scent?
Tea Rose.
What do you think of getting something that's used, but is still in really good condition?
That's fine, especially if it's something that can't be told from new. Althoug of course if it was some sort of antique type of thing age and use just adds to the character.
If you could pick something for your SS to include in your christmas package, what would it be?
Hmmmm, I'd have to know where they're from ...
Would you rather get something that you need or just want?
Either, I'm easy <grin>.

Hung on a wall is good.
What is something you always get too much of during the holidays?
Nothing really.
Doyou enjoy art from other cultures?
Oriental!
Would you like a homemade gift??
Homemade would be great!

I don't think they're into neckwear <wink>
Your absolute dislikes. Anything really turn you off?
Stuff that's too cutesie, although there's a difference between cutesie and whimsical, stuff that's too country, although FRENCH country type stuff is neat. Cherubs have been done to death. If I see another fat little baby with wings ...
