Package Exchange Secret Santa Q&A Thead

Calling out to Thefadedone!!

Santa has some questions for you!

Favorite color(s)?

Do you like tea? What flavors do you prefer?

What snacky flavors/textures do you like? Do you lean more sweet or savory?

Do you wear jewelry?

Do you use spices in your cooking? If so what are some of your favorites? Mild or spicy?

What scents do you like?

Do you burn anything like incense or candles?

Any animal companions?

Think that is all for now, Santa has to get backing to checking that list, twice..... :tired:
 
Annia!

Santa is grateful for the thorough list of your preferences, it was most helpful and the elves have already started making some things. I have a few questions to help me plan the other projects.

  • Do you like crisps/salty things?
  • Santa believes you are either pagan or Wiccan but is uneducated on these matters. Mrs Claus has a contact who will be able to help us, could you give an idea of your spiritual practices so we can find something you might like?
  • I know you have a gran and a mum at home, would they like something? Any ideas?
  • Ditto with your lovely dogs, do you feed them treats?


YAY!

Crisps and salty things are fine by me. :D

I don't really like talking about my beliefs in public but what I will do is send a PM later to the secret-santa account talking about it. :D
EDIT: I'll actually PM it to Sally and ask her to forward it to you. It might take a few days though, I work over the weekends and so I'm usually only on VV on tapatalk which has no PM function.

My mother and gran have no idea that I'm on here and it would be too difficult to explain it all to them so it's probably best not to. Thanks anyway. :D

My dogs LOVE treats. Noshie is a bit funny about food so we never know if she's going to like something or not; I don't think it's the taste I think she has things about textures and the shape of her food. She's just strange like that. But Ebbie is a Labrador and she will eat anything. She's even tried to eat a piece of lemon that I dropped on the floor. She knew it was something to do with food so she was determined to eat it even though she really didn't like the taste. It was hilarious. (Obviously I took it off her and didn't let her eat it, but the gist is, she's really not fussy. )
 
Calling PiSis!!!

here i am, Santa!

Santa already whipped up some magic and has a crafty idea but still a couple of questions....

What are your favorite scents??
lavender, jasmine and frankincense

What are some munchy items you love but don't indulge in often? Or something you would love to try but cannot get?
love anything with nuts and/or dark chocolate and either sweet or salty. not too picky...easy to please.
over here, we have nothing like Trader Joes, Whole Foods or anything like that , so whatever you send from your North Pole will be much relished.
Santa has to go back to work. The elves are incorrigible this year!!! :sf:
oh Santa.
<3
 
Calling out to Thefadedone!!

Santa has some questions for you!

Favorite color(s)? I don't have a particular favorite color.

Do you like tea? What flavors do you prefer? I love tea! I only drink caffiene free or herbal teas. Decaf chai is my absolute favorite. I can't stomach green teas though. I also like roobios teas.

What snacky flavors/textures do you like? Do you lean more sweet or savory? I'm a salty and/or crunchy fan.

Do you wear jewelry? Nope no jewelry.

Do you use spices in your cooking? If so what are some of your favorites? Mild or spicy? Yes I sure do. Anything garlic or onion flavored is good. Curries spices are good too. Spicy for sure. I'm open to trying any new or different spices.

What scents do you like? I like fruity scents, lilac and some other flowery scents.

Do you burn anything like incense or candles? Yes to both. Every single day.

Any animal companions? Yep. I have one small dog.

Think that is all for now, Santa has to get backing to checking that list, twice..... :tired:

Thanks Santa! If you need to know anything else just let me know! :)

Favorite snacks.... I love Swedish Fish and Smarties for sweet and for salty these flat pretzel things that I found at Trader Joe's are awesome.

Our fur woofers are my favorite hobby. Being outdoors, attempting to garden and recently found out I'm not bad at glass fusing.

I am not what you would call a cook but I try. If it is easy I can usually not screw it up too much.

I like red, vibrant blue, purple, orange, turquoise, pink, black. Not a fan of pale colors like mint green or pale yellow.

Vanilla, cinnamon and citrus. I am a bit sensitive to heavy or flowery scents.

:dog::dog::dog::dog: of these wonderful fur kids share our home.

I love candles!

I do wear jewelry, earrings and necklaces mostly (I have tiny wrists and skinny fingers so rings and bracelets are difficult to find). I have to dress somewhat professional for work (blech) but like to funk it up a bit with chunky or bright jewelry or unique scarf.

We haven't had a tree for years mostly because the pups got way too nosy one year. Been thinking I might want one this year. We have a large covered lanai and then a huge screened in area around the pool so might put one under the covered area in front of our kitchen windows.


Thanks Santa! Ask away if you have more questions. :starshower:

Santa is looking forward to the PM!

Santa would also like to know what are your favourite three colours and are there any you do not like?

I'm writing it now :D

I don't like pink. I hate it. Other colours I'm fine with. I like earthy tones so greens with browns. I also like yellow. Oh and blue. And rainbows :p Basically everything apart from pink :p

Are there any books you've always meant to getting around to reading, but just haven't had the chance to pick up yet?
Favourite colours? Flavours? Textures?
Any hobbies?
How do you feel about jewellery?
Any requests?

Yay! Hello Santa!!!

When I cook, I tend to start with a recipe and then use intuition to improve on it. I also like making up my own recipes. There are a few recipes I don't mess with, though - mostly vegan cupcakes take over the world ones :)

My favourite part of Christmas is the food! I'm eating a mince roll thing right now (nom). I love the warm, fruity, spiced flavours of festive food :)

There's lots of books I've been meaning to read ;) in terms of specifically vegan ones, I've heard skinny ***** is a good read. There's plenty of fiction out there too that I've been meaning to get to, but I can't think of anything specific right now.

My favourite colour is purple, closely followed by blue and green, and I love RAINBOWS :D favourite flavours are usually savoury, especially things like dry roasted nuts and jerky-style things, but I like sweet foods too (especially fruit-based ones). Not fussy on textures either, although I usually prefer chewy to gooey.

Hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, the Internet and being around cats.

I don't wear an awful lot of jewellery, but I do like necklaces. I don't have my ears pierced. I do have a naval bar though, and I think that's probably the thing I have the most jewellery options for!

No specific requests, though - anything Santa sends is going to be AWESOME :D *jumps around*
 
WOLFIE!!

Santa needs to ask you a few more questions:

What are your hobbies? Do you collect anything? You mean besides dogs? :D I do like to watch hockey.
Do you do a lot of cooking? Some. I make stuff ahead to freeze when I have the time.
What are some of your favorite spices? I seem to use a lot of oregano and chili powder. I am also fond of Indian food but I have a lot of those spices since stumbling upon an Indian grocery here that sells the stuff cheap. I keep thinking I'll try Ethiopian sometime provided I can find easy, quick recipes.
Do you wear makeup or use a lot of health and beauty products? I wear makeup when hanging around humans. I use a lot of lotion in the wintertime especially. The lack of humidity makes me itch.
You mentioned you don't like dried fruits. How do you feel about nuts and seeds? I love seeds and all nuts except black walnuts. Almonds and pistachios are probably my favorite but I like them all.
What is your attitude towards Christmas in general? Bah Humbug or Joy To The World? I like the meaning of Christmas. Not too fond of the cold and dark that surrounds the holiday in this hemisphere though.
Do your animal companions like treats? If so, any specific kind? My dogs have never met a treat they didn't like. My cat can be picky food wise but she does enjoy cat nip.

Thanks again Santa!
 
SKYLARK

Just a few bit of information, and Santa's elves can get to work bringing a little cheer to your holiday season:

What are your most favorite and least favorite colors?
Describe your fashion sense.
Do you have any favorite jewelry or accessories?
Do you have any favorite winter activities, or would you prefer to hibernate until spring, given the option?
Do you have any pets?
What would make this the absolute best exchange ever? Is there anything you ask for every year, but no one ever gets you?

I like most fruits except peaches because the fuzz freaks me out.

Love, love, love spicy!

The fur kids are very food/treat motivated. Most toys they destroy except hard rubber ones.

Thanks Santa!
