Secret Santa Hints thread

[gingersmom]

Would you prefer a bunch of little things, or one larger more substantial thing? I think I'd rather have a bunch of little things - it's the little things in life that make me the happiest.

But either way, I'm not going to complain!

Would you like homemade cookies and goodies? Sure, as long as there are NO RAISINS in them.
Do you like nuts in your cookies/brownies? Mmmmm, nuts....
Do you like the following flavors for cookies and goodies:
Coffee/espresso? Not really
Chocolate and more chocolate? I prefer dark chocolate - I'm not a chocoholic.
Caramel? Mmmm, caramel....
Peanut butter? Mmmm, peanut butter.....
Peppermint? Nope, I don't like the taste. Weird, I know, but it reminds me of toothpaste and medicine.
Who is now hoping that I have their name?

Would you be able to display something somewhat fragile without the kitties destroying it? Yes, I have barrister bookshelves with glass doors.

Not too sure on that one I did not send homemade food overseas last year but...

I did send catnip pillows to two people in Australia and to some certain fellow in Mexico and had no problems. There was also loose catnip in the ziplock bag with the pillow so it wasn't only contained in the pillow. None of the packages were opened by customs and I had catnip on the customs form. But that doesn't mean it won't get taken out if you send it!

Just speaking from experience!
