I really like most scents, but particularly musky, earthy smells. I love C.O.Bigelow Bath products, which are available at Bath and Body Works. They have a great tingly feeling. I love all of that stuff. I really love food, and there are only a few things I don't eat. Unfortunately, they're the kind of things that people traditionally send at this time of year! I don't really like nuts, and only like fruits with a low acidity--so berries are good, but oranges aren't. Chocolate and caramel are *always* good bets, though. I do celebrate Christmas. I guess Ariel is probably my favorite Disney character, but I like all of them (except Stitch.) Any character from any of my favorite movies is great! (Hunchback, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Great Mouse Detective, Sleeping Beauty.) I love art, and especially interior design. Books on interior design are always great, and if you're interested in my particular style, check out dominomag.com. It's all there! Movies are really my ultimate hobby. I love watching them, reading about them, and would like to work in them someday (set design!) My favorites are musical comedies. I love everything from Hairspray and the Producers to Singin' in the Rain and 42nd Street--everything from modern to classic! A few other favorites (that I don't have!) are The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, the Godfather, All About Eve, and Young Frankenstein. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! I love talking about myself!

I would really like to have the soundtrack to Out of Africa, and pretty much any musical you can think of. I really like Elton John, Billy Joel, Ella Fitzgerald, Robbie Williams, Simon and Garfunkle, Corinne Bailey Ray, Rufus Wainwright, Tony Bennet, Harry Connick Jr., and David Bowie. Thanks again for asking, SP!

Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 Sorry, bash pal, I had a big mess to clean up and didn't get my list on here this am.! (That's how I spent my extra hour today! clean up on aisle 7! I was thinking of some stuff I like after I accidently spilled the bottle of bubble bath in the tub last night, I thought, "There's something I like! Bubble Bath!" I like the baby powder scent, lavender , flowers, fruit,(I like coconut scent, it reminds me of the beach.) not the citrus kind, though, and not vanilla for some reason. I love the "Christmasy" scents, like pine and cinnamon. I like that smell in candles, too. I love Christmas music and have so many CDs. I do tend to lose them occasionally, because I live in a crazy house, like last year, I had to buy the Charlie Brown one again...I love the Christmas Comedy CDs and have quite a few of them, I'm sure there are a lot that I don't have, too. I love the Christmas cartoons & movies, especially "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story". (I already have a leg lamp, a strand of leg lamp lights and a bunny suit jacket from A Christmas Story.) I love all things Disney, you can't go wrong with any Disney items. I like the vintage stuff. One CD I don't have of vintage Disney is "Walt Disney Takes You To Disneyland: A Musical Tour of The Magic Kingdom". Every year I wear out many pairs of slippers and so far this year I'm working on a pair of Tinkerbell slippers that will probably not make it past Christmas.(or maybe even Thanksgiving~ I tend to wear them outside and that's how they get ruined. It doesn't matter how beautiful they are, I always swear in the beginning I'm NEVER going to wear them outside and then I have to run a trash bag out or something and I don't have time to change into my sneakers.~there they go...) So, Disney slippers make me happy! I LOVE chocolate, especially dark chocolate. My favorite color is green. I like Disney gloves and mittens, too. I tend to lose one of each glove very often, so I buy the really cheap ones. (I buy 2 pair so I still have a pair and, of course, I lose the same glove for each set so I end up with 2 left handed gloves or vice versa.) That's all I can think of right now. If you have any questions, I'm on LP every day!

Originally Posted By Mrs Nurmi Oh dear!! I better not be last lol!! Okay, well I am actually VERY easy to please!! I love to get stuff in the mail - just cards and little notes. I love handmade things - I used to do a lot of that myself, but I just haven't had the time for the past few years! I have a ton of candle holders, so I'm always looking for tealights and votives to put in them. Pretty much any scent is good, I'm particular to the spicy kinds - like cinnamon, gingerbread, apple spice.. stuff like that. But it's pretty much all good to me. Except licorice. Yuck. Or if they are SUPER flowery - you know, the ones that make your eyes water with old lady perfume scent? I can do without that hahhah. We LOVE Disneyland stuff. I can't say that I have a favorite character, but I love park merchandise. Useable stuff, like mugs, stuff from the kitchen store in DL, that type of thing. I am NOT a collector of any kind - don't do pins, don't do figurines or anything like that.. but if you see something that has a special meaning to you that you thing I would like, that works. I just don't have anything you could 'add' to. Umm... I love homemade cookies/fudge/treats or whatever you may have.. not fond of coconut and raisins are the devil, so I'd pass on that. Chocolate is yummy, but only white or milk.. dark chocolate is a little bitter for me. What else?? Oh, I LOVE christmas!!!! Ornaments, decorations, ANYTHING!! I love Christmas music too, but NOT trans siberian orchestra or Manheim Steamroller that everyone else seems to love.. that makes me run screaming from the room.. oh, and Josh Grobin - I just don't get the fascination with him.. icky. I tend to like either Big Band ish stuff or contemporary stuff (I love my Bare Naked Ladies Christmas album!). We are coming to DL for Christmas and New Years this year and we're VERY excited about that!! So gift cards for ANYWHERE would be wonderful!! Restaurants, or local stores that we dont' have up here.. we will be there for a couple of weeks, so we can use them while we are there, so if you had something in mind, no worries about whether we can use it or not, we will find a way!! Oh goodness, I really hate listing things out like this lol! I read a lot too!! Nothing in particular, just whatever strikes me as interesting when I'm at the book store. Ooh, and I love all the old Rogers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe musicals!! I had a bunch on VHS, but we don't have a player any more, and I think the only ones I have on DVD are Flower Drum Song, Sound of Music & My Fair Lady, lol.. Oh and Gypsy. So I'd love ANY of those!! I hope I haven't rambled too much!! Thanks for thinking of me, pal!!!

Originally Posted By mickeymeg I always have a hard time thinking of how to make a useful list, but here goes... I am really just a big kid at heart. I love any thing fun and silly. I love being crafty and creative. I love photography. I love music. I really like listening to different kinds of music, a sampling of your favourite kind would be awesome. Mickey is my favourite character. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I do have a few shows I watch often. 24, Hereos, Scrubs, Rick Mercer and the office. I also love MacGyver ! I think it would be awesome to have a show where MacGyver, Jack Bour and John Maclean (Die Hard) all got into a jam and had to save the day together =) I love cartoons from when I was a kid. Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Duck Tales, Tale Spin, Darkwing, Gargoyles, etc. I love to read. fantasy type things are my favourite. Right now I am reading the The Golden Compass. I really like to watch Hockey. I am a Vancouver Canucks fan. Disneyland is my favourite place ever and I love learning more about its history. I have a tradition that every time I go I get another book about the park. I also ask for one when people I know are there. I like snail mail ! Its so exciting to get mail that is not a bill =) I don't do a lot of decorating for Christmas. I am sure that whatever you do it will be fantastic ! Thanks !

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Aye yi yi! Am *I* the Bash "problem child" this year?! Sorry this is so late! This Wish List is being quickly recycled from the last one of these I wrote. If I come up with more info, I'll post it! PLEASE read this with the understanding that it’s to give ideas, to help you get to know me. I’m NOT asking for all this stuff! Disney-wise, I’m mainly attracted to the Parks, and mostly to Disneyland Resort. I LOVE that place! From there, I’d definitely enjoy: -- Posters or artwork of any size. Things they sell or photos you've taken. Attraction posters or classic views. My favorite icon from Disneyland is the skeleton at the wheel in Pirates. Or.. the Castle. An eerie looking rendering of the Mansion or Tower. Just about anything, though I’m less drawn toward Disneyland images that have characters in them. -- Any of the Shag 50th stuff! (Is it still around?) I love the "Land" prints, but already have the Adventureland and Tomorrowland mini-posters. -- ANY souvenirs of the 48th or 49th or 50th years (2003-2005)! -- Notecards: whatever blank cards are currently available: attraction posters, DLR logo, whatever! I send cards to LP friends and like to use these. -- ANY books on DL history (except "The Nickel Tour"). A personal fantasy is to someday own “Inside Disneyland.†[Not Bash gift material, I’m afraid!] Any of the DL pictorals, current or vintage, except for “45th Anniversary†and "Dreams, Traditions, and Transitions". I don't have the 50th edition, and would really like it. -- ANY vintage -- or current -- Disneyland postcards. -- ANY E-Ticket magazines. -- Links to old photo collections or videos. While there are lots of Disney movies I’d like to see (again), I’m not someone who watches movies over and over. So I don’t buy a lot of DVD’s. I will, however, want a copy of POTC:AWE. (*sigh* I'm not sure I even like the movie, but... it's POTC. And I own the first two. I must have it.) My favorite character is Aladdin, but I have already met him, have a signed glossy, and own his movie. Can’t think of what else “Aladdin†I need. Musically... I listen mostly to VH-1-type rock, standards, 50's "lounge", disco, and new age-y stuff. But I also like a lot of the new rock, pop, and dance I hear on radio. With the exception of deep country and hard rap, I appreciate most music and like being introduced to it. I would love a home-mixed CD or tape of your favorites: “The Mellow CD.†“The Dance CD.†“The ‘My Favorite Vocalists’ CD.†"Arabic Pop." “The New Age CD.†I love 50's culture, design, and kitsch: boomerangs, starbursts, weird pastels, Tiki, Cocktail, bowling stuff, etc. I’d enjoy books on this, or something like notecards with retro designs. I also enjoy the music from the era, but have so much it would be hard to say what I “need.†I admire small, simple, attractive, practical things. Good design. Things like... Acrylic refrigerator photo frames. Wallet calendars. Candles. Bookmarks. Pens (the gel kind that write smoothly; medium, not fine point). Notecards. (Did I mention notecards?!) I like lots of themes: anything Disneyland, anything retro, flowers, most art. I tend to like things straight-forward and plain, I guess. I don’t wear patterns on my clothing. (But I’m not afraid of color.) I like clean lines. Arial font, not Times New Roman. I enjoy abstract art more than the Sistine Chapel. I’m not into cutesy stuff. Pottery Barn? Yes. Anne Geddes? Ugh! Sports items would be wasted on me. I like chocolate, but am not crazy about candy in general. I don’t wear t-shirts very often at all, so am pretty much stocked up on those. I don't really collect anything other than Disneyland stuff. Well, okay, I have the first 30 or so of the Hard Rock Casino's comemmorative $5 chips, but I gave up on that. A new one would be cool, especially if it's of an artist I like or just a nice design. And, okay, okay, did I say I'm not into cute? I do have a complete set of the Rudolph The Red-Nose Reindeer plush. Sometimes I make them have little conversations with each other. And while I don't seek out figurines, Bootstrap Bill will forever live here on my desk, because he was given to me by a friend. I'm sentimental. I'm cynical. My sense of humor can bend to accommodate warped material. Movies like “Holes†make me cry. “South Park†makes me cry with laughter. I like mystery / thriller / “what’s happening here?†/ whodunit movies and books. I don't care for many TV shows, as they all seem very predictable and formulaic to me. But then again, if I'm in the same room as The Tube, I'll sometimes get sucked into "CSI:Cheekbones And Hair" or "The Sitcom with the Cute People Making Naughty Jokes Show." I spend money at Kroger, Macaroni Grill (mmmmmmm!), Target, Macy*s, TJMaxx, McDonald's, Burger King, eBay... But you know what? I don’t need purchased stuff. I would truly treasure anything that you wrote or made. Sincerely. I know this was WAY long, Secret Pal, but let me know if you need more info!
