This Secret Santa wonders how people feel about chocolate. Milk or Dark? Or white (which isn't technically chocolate, but we'll include it for completeness)? Nuts or not? Caramel, fruit, mint, spices, or booze in the chocolate? Dark. Nuts are fine, though the smaller the bits the better. Caramel I love but most of the time can't eat anymore. Fruit, mint, spices, booze... all fine. (Salt is good. Um. Not a huge fan of bacon in chocolate, though. Just thinking of some of the stranger chocolates we've seen.)

So... I found some nice looking body lotions, scrubs, etc ... wondering if my secret recipient (so all of you) are into these things. I know there are a few people with sensitive skin, etc Pretty much any ingredient that looks like a chemical or you don't know what it is - bad for me. Artificial (insert word) anything, also. Violently allergic to chamomile, and lavender has to be organic. Honestly, the closer to organic everything, the better. (This is why I make my own almost everything. *half-smiles ruefully*)

On an ACTUAL mostly total sidenote, since I have a habit of weird random care packages when the mood takes me. If anyone would be willing to fill this out, it would be spiffy. www.surveymonkey.com/r/K9CH7PLNot entirely sidenote, though any drink things I included would probably just be explained as something other than the Secret Santa gift. Just filled it out

On a side note...super bummed that shipping liquor is so difficult/impossible. I really want an excuse to make some kahlua. Do you have the Vanilla beans?

Since it is winter, and I know warm things are going to come up in a lot of the secret santa things, this seemed a useful question. (I will answer it myself once I dig up my proper measuring tape.) General hand measurement - around the knuckles, and perhaps length of the palm - as well as possibly around the wrist. Also, perhaps hat/head size. 7" tip of middle finger to the wrist - 7" around the knuckles - 6 3/4" around the wrist - Over top of ears angled up to widows peak 22"

Caramel, fruit, mint, spices, or booze in the chocolate? Dark, milk, white, as long as it's chocolate I don't care what color it is Nuts are always welcomed, especially walnuts and pecans Carmel, fruit, mint, spices and lots of booze in the chocolate is always a plus My mom used to make bourbon balls and we always got a buzz off of them even though she tried to limit us to 4 or 5 at a time after dinner for dessert

You all crack me up! I didn't sign up this year cuz my life has been so crazy I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get mine done in time, but I've had great fun reading all the banter here. I can't wait to see what everyone gets. You will post pictures, won't you?

I can't wait to see what everyone gets. You will post pictures, won't you? Of course we will and it's nice to know I'm not the only one up at 4:00 AM EST. Coffee just got made and I'm sipping on a cup. Some of the new Chocolate Sugar Lip Scrub pictures came out pretty good so I'll be updating some of those pictures today Hope you and the new grand baby are well and having a good time. I actually bought a stocking pattern last week and will try and make some stocking for the gang this year
