Santas Helper - Adult Swap - US only please!

please no music, no food items, no jewelry, refer to my profile for ideas!

Please no scented items, candles, etc I have asthma. No sugar or food items, I am diabetic. No hair accessories. My hair is very short & thin. I collect Christmas angels and ornaments, Precious Moments, Betty Boop, frogs, Panda Bears, Magnets, Keychains, spoons, thimbles and lapel pins from the area you live. I also collect paper dolls. I like lady bugs, CZ pierced ear-rings. Soft, cloth squeeky toys for my little dog.

It would probably be easier to say what I want instead of what I don't want. I want anything to do with knitting (wooden needles,yarn,stitch markers,etc.) stationary, candy, chocolate, simple jewelry, miniature items, fairies, prisms.

I love Day of the Dead trinkets - milagros, tin, little skeleton figures; books, fun t-shirts (second-hand is perfect -women's small), music (surprise me with a copy of your favorite c.d. - how else will I find new music?), fun little toys - wooden, handmade, vintage, fabric fat quarters, beads, handmade things, vintage kitsch. . .and surprises!

almost forgot to do this I think I will do like sissie and put what I would like rather then what I would not like anything with oriental designs(paper,figures,stamps,ATC....), any mythical creatures(unicorns,fairies,wizards,ghost(casper) paper,stamps,figures......) any wolves,black bears,or indian items. Handmade items are great or items for me to make handmade things especially papers,poems,stamps,ink pads,embosing inks...... no chocolate though unless its white chocolate. any hard candies are fine especially strawberry but use your imagination and creativity.

Please nothing religious or Precious Moments-esque. My profile will tell you a lot more. :-)

I sell natural bath/body & soaps and great candles, so these might not be so appropriate - I'm quite brand specific!! Not so much into mythical items. I guess I'm hard to buy for (sorry).

Decorative Votive holders ok - prefer non-seasonal that I can use year around.

I like bells & cuddly stuffed teddy bears - not so fond of ceramic bears. I'm a stationary store junkie - gel pens - esp dark jewel type colors - not so much neons, cute/pretty memo pads/papers, (I have a favorite pen and mechanical pencil set that I use for most writing tho).

Pretty magnets for my kids artwork - but not the traditional kitchen themes - flowers, animals, birds, geometric designs are good. think more heavy duty tho -- I've got several that won't hold anthing - they are just only for pretty!! I could use kitchen towels - think along the same lines as magnets.

I'm a fairly conservative person, frilly is better than gothic! I love bright royal blue, hunter green and purple.

Hope this helps someone

I like deco tins, small boxes, anything elephants, small cigar boxes, chocolate & caramel, kitchen washcloths, new smells (not insence) bath's, lite weight socks, treasures you like to make, ect...
