Be My Valentine Swap 2016! ~ All done!!!

[BethyVic]

Candy that you like/dislike (please note any allergies!):
I like milk chocolate, especially Milka (my favorite is Milka Sweet Winter)  I also like white chocolate mixed with milk chocolate.  I enjoy fruity candy like starbursts, skittles and sour patch kids.  I also love homemade caramels.  No allergies, but I don't like dark chocolate or salted caramel flavors.   
I like peanut butter and chocolate, so anything Reese's is great. 

What do you collect? Anything you are currently looking for? (ex: monster high, ponies, pokemon, Disney, etc): I adore G1 MLP (I don't have a current wantlist, but any G1 merchandise would be awesome, I don't have much.  Especially stationary, magnets, stickers, decals, pens, pencils etc), vintage Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Harry Potter, Mr. Bean, Doctor Who and The Beatles.  Anything British is always good. 


What would be good extras for you?: I love magnets and stickers.  I also like pens that are decorative or Valentine themed, pins, little figurines, little plushes, keychains


What are your favorite Valentine themes? (I.e. cupid, hearts, kisses etc): I pretty much love anything Valentine-related: pinks, reds, hearts, candy, kisses, glitter, baby cupids.  If any of the characters I collect are related to Valentine's themes that would be awesome. 


Partner, do you like hand made things?
I do, I enjoy seeing other people's creativity


Do you wear bracelets and earrings?
I wear bracelets.  I can't wear earrings because I have a metal allergy

New Question:

Do you like bath products / nail decals / lip gloss?
I don't use nail decals, and I have my own bath products and lip gloss.  So, no thank you. 

Partner, do you prefer sweet treats from a local chocolatier or would you rather have familiar brand name chocolate?  I would love to try chocolate from a local place.  I am always open to try new candy. 

I celebrate Valentine's Day differently each year.  If I have a boyfriend, I usually would celebrate with him.  Sadly, my last bf didn't believe in the holiday, so we did nothing. I was angry about that.  This year, I don't have a boyfriend.  So, I will probably celebrate with one of my single friends.

Trust me I appreciate the effort in handmade items, but probably not as much as most.... Hair ties on the other hand- yes!

Maybe some ponywear & matching Megan outfit.

So let's talk about Valentine's Day! How do you celebrate it or is it just a fun swap event for you?

Partner, do you prefer sweet treats from a local chocolatier or would you rather have familiar brand name chocolate?
Sounds fun! I prefer white chocolate. Nuts or crispies are fine and fun!

Partner, I'm considering doing a bit of art for you. Do you have any favorite pairings from an anime, manga, video game, cartoon, etc?
I'm not into Anime or other similar cartoonish things. If you want to draw any of my army ponies please feel free to draw me some ponies or Lady Lovely Locks.

How exciting! I can't wait to find out who my partner will be!

Me too! 

[Mkia]

Alrighty!! Everyone should have a partner!! Time to shop!!


Please let me know if you didn't get a PM for some reason! We ended up with a small group of 7, so I'm pretty sure I got everyone

[icecreamgirl]

Yay for partners! Have so many things I could buy for my partner wish I had 3 x the budget!

That's always the catch, isn't it? There are so many choices and narrowing it down to the ones that feel right can be a huge challenge. That said, I think I've got a pretty good handle on what I'm doing for my partner's box and I'm quite excited about it.

Lol I always feel like that . Which is probably why I have such a hard time sticking with the budget 

[Ledbyrd]

Oh my goodness! Can't wait to start shopping

[Mkia]

Hope I can get some good shopping done on Monday . I work tonight, friday and Saturday nights so I'm useless until then lol


I check my PMs frequently, though so if anyone needs something send me a message

[Ledbyrd]

Partner I am going to start shopping for you today! I hope I can find you some super cute things

Also, I have a couple of questions:

Partner, do you like hand made things?

Do you wear bracelets and earrings?

I love hand made items and frequently wear all kinds of jewelry.

[icecreamgirl]

Partner, do you like hand made things?
Yes love them!

Do you wear bracelets and earrings?
I do but not that often. I have pierced ears and really small wrists!

[ladybastilla]

Partner, do you like hand made things?

Absolutely.

Do you wear bracelets and earrings?

I do wear jewelry from time to time, but I have to be careful what I choose because I can't do up little clasps. I had my ears pierced when I was young, but that didn't end up working out for me. I do like longer necklaces / necklaces that clasp with a button or magnetic closure and bracelets I can slip on, though.

New Question:

Do you like bath products / nail decals / lip gloss?

I like lotions and shower gels. I don't do my nails that often, but when I do I tend to like 'spring' colors like baby blue, lilac and soft pink. (I've never used decals; I just know some people here like them.) I love lip gloss, especially ones that have a nice scent like fruit, vanilla, etc.

[Mkia]

Partner, do you like hand made things?

Definitely!

Do you wear bracelets and earrings?
Bracelets no, not usually. Earrings I do though. Usually just studs, but I will occasionally wear a small dangle.


Do you like bath products / nail decals / lip gloss?
Please no lotion or bath products for me.
I do like nail polish/decals so those would be okay . Lip gloss I don't tend to wear a lot, but I have an EOS Chapstick in every bag and purse I own lol. One of those would be a fine extra, I like mint the best.
