Re: To Answer Mo's question

We do? I wasn't going to, I thought that's why we drew a second name. I don't think most are planning on this. I don't need another gift, my SP has already been very generous. Lots of SP action yesterday, it almost stole the show from Sonja, joke. Thanks for another Safeway card, I used them both tonight. Yeah Baby!

To Answer Mo's question

Yes, you give a reveal gift to your SP.

Andrew's List (Finally)

 I think the reason why I couldn't think of anything untill now is because my life was all ready perfect..

But then I thought of some things

1. Game stop gift card

2. Money..

3. Sonic Olmpic games (for the DS)

Briggs update

Thanks to my SP for gatorade and gum, both last week and at Sonja's party on Sunday. Good work SP!
Now, my jaw hurts from gum chewing, so I'm updating my SP list as my gum needs are fulfilled. I'd like some black tea bags to take to work--any kind. I still like pizza and magazines.
Also, to those readers who havent posted lists of ideas either for SP or for SS, please post! only 15 more days till xmas.

Peter's List II

I needed to add to my list, my SP has struck again and has checked nearly every thing off my list. Today my SP left me a Safeway Gift Card. To date, that is Vanilla Syrup, Dust Ease and now a Safeway Gift Card. All I have left from my original list is a Clear Shower Curtain Liner and Dim Sum.

I would like to officially add the following items:

- A nice knife set. I don't need anything that can cut a shoe or an aluminum can, but something a little sleeker that has a few of the essentials, a big knife, steak knives, and a serrated knife for cutting bread.

- Gas Card

- I'm still trying to think of other things, I'll post again if/when they come to me. Thanks SP.

From Paul

I changed our profile pic so you guys dont have to see my ugly mug every time you log in here.

Thank you SP! I was driving home last week talking to Peter on the phone saying I hadnt gotten anything from my SP, then two minutes later on my door matt i find a cool bell wreath and box of almond rocca!

Couple other SP idea's are incense, candles, oven mitts and a round pizza pan.

Merry Christmas!

Its Mo

A question: Do we give final presents to Secret Pals?

A thank you: Thanks for the Caramels. I heard there is something in my slot too!

A couple of other thoughts:

I'd like to hire a house cleaner in the new year.

I'd like the London Cast recording of the musical PARADE. Its expensive but there are some used versions online, like via amazon.com.

Secret Pal: I like teas and beef jerky and coke zero. : )

Patrick (redux)

custom car wash.... meaning in the driveway, for the Highlander

hand water pump for the kayak

Patrick....

Sonja and Mo check your mail slots!
Merry Secret Pal.

Thanks, Megan's SP!

I received a starbucks card last week and then last night when I went to to my car to leave Sonja's party, there was a bag with my favorite gum and apple cinnamon tea hanging from my side mirror!
Thanks, SP, you're the best!
love, Megan

Any Ideas...

It's Andrew and I don't have any idea what i want for christmas. Does any one have any ideas?

My SP Struck Again

Sure did. Came home from work to find a box of Safeway brand Dust Ease. I didn't even know Safeway made their own brand of Swiffers but they are amazing. Work just as good and cost less. I will never buy the name brand Swiffers again, from now on I'm all about the Dust Ease.

Hey Guess What!

I came from school to find a bag of Tim's and some Santa Gum, I haven't tried the gum yet but the Tim's bag is already empty!

hey andrew--post your list! your secret pal/secret santa cant read your mind!

Briggs' list

Hello and holiday tidings, JBS-
here's my list of ideas:

Hand weights. Heavier ones--like 12-15 pound ones. Or some kind of dumbbell set with various weights.

Beer making supplies. Try the Cellar Homebrew shop, which is on Greenwood Ave. http://www.cellar-homebrew.com/. I have winemaking supplies, but need some beermaking stuff.

For the SPs, I like orange gatorade and sugarfree gum and pizza and magazines. Speaking of magazines, I'd like a magazine subscription, like maybe to ReadyMade, Adbusters, or The Atlantic.

I like Goodwill, and they have gift certificates.

Movie gift certificates--but not to the Majestic Bay.

I like to go bowling. We could do so together. RIP Sunset Bowl!

Morgan James Patrick McGyver Brady

Dear Future Secret Santa,

I'm so glad you chose me this year. When I was putting my name on a little piece of paper and mixing it around with the other little pieces of paper, I was hoping you'd draw it out. You are really my favorite person in the family. 

Don't tell anyone else I said that.

Anyway, now that you've chosen my name (WOOT!), I bet you wanna do how to make my holiday season brighter. Well, here's how:

I'd like to go to a movie with you. Maybe BOLT, maybe RACHEL GETTING MARRIED, maybe FROST/NIXON, maybe DOUBT.

Since I'm trying to sell my place, I'm always trying to keep it tidy. You could come over to my house and help me clean or work on a small manageable project. Especially if you brought over some floor cleaner and heavy duty porcelain cleaner. That'd be rad. We could hang out and clean together.

I don't really need any clothes. If you were going to get me clothes, I'd love some low cut white socks.

I would also really appreciate new sheets for my full size bed.

If you're thinking about smaller things, anything sent to the 5th Avenue Theatre stage door will make me feel special and cool. It could even be a diet coke. I'd still feel cool. (Opening Night is 12/5)

Maybe some other smaller things could be little giftcards. I make frequent purchases at itunes, Bartell Drugs, Trader Joe's, Speciality's, Palaminos. That'd be awful sweet of you.

Thanks, Family Member!

We could go for a hike

Eric's Wish List
