Catching up on questions

Do you have fur babies? If so would you like an ornament or extra for them?  If you have multiple fur babies do you have one in particular that is your <3 baby you would like something related to? Names and pictures of the fur children if you have them would be awesome!
Indoors I have 3 fur children - two dogs and a cat. They all have specific diets so no treats please.
Gremlin - Housecat 7 yr old

Dressed up for Christmas a couple of years ago (I'll have to update that!)
Gremlin thinks he's the boss of the house and likes to wear bow ties. He seems to have grown out of toys sadly

Pixie - Longhair Chihuahua 4 yr old

Not the best picture.. she'd just had a bath and was staring at Gremlin - they aren't the best of friends.
Pixie likes to get brushed and will occasionally wear clips in her hair.

Xia - Staffordshire Bull Terrier  7 months

Xia is still in her chewing stage.. at the moment her favourite "toy" is a dead tree branch
She does also like sturdy rope toys but at the moment she'll find a way to destroy anything.

Ornaments reflecting them would probably be nice.

Partner, can you name some small things you typically like to receive as extras so I can get an idea of your likes? Ex: stickers, candy, jewelry, pens, lotion, etc?
Anything Adventure Time - especially stickers and anything to do with Lumpy Space Princess and BMO. I absolutely love peppermints and peppermint tea! I do like jewellery, but I have sensitive skin and can't wear silver-tone or any other toned base metals. I usually stick to solid sterling silver.
I love to paint so tiny tipped acrylic and/or water colour paint brushes would be great!

Partner, do you like customs or alternate rehairs?
No thank you. I'm not adding to my MLP collection at all right now.

Partner..... I have officially overspent! I found an adorable stuffed animal for you and something in the mall during a 25% off sale. I still wanna pick up some beautiful ornaments for you I saw yesterday! Im spending more than my partner might spend on me, but I really want you to love your swap box!!!!

Partner, do you like customs or alternate rehair
Sure! More inclined to customs than alt rehairs, though. Unless it's a g4 perfume puff styled rehair.


I'm off for the next four days! Hopefully I'll be able to get my partner some great extras and work on the handmade stuff

[Dainty]

Customs or Rehairs:  Sure..! I don't have much room but I do have a Dainty army so any rehaired Dainty or alt Dainty of any kind is welcome :--)

[Ice Crystal]

Oh drat! I just came back from a long break from the Arena because I remembered this swap. I'm well too late, but I participated in this last year and it's a fabulous swap! I hope you all have fun.

Got you a few extras today, partner! I still need to find a few more things, though. I think I will start working on your crafted extra(s) today. We'll see how it goes! Lol

[NovelNerd]

updated some stuff! Man I've been super busy, but on the good side of things I'm just working on some extras and then my box is done.

[xeevee]

sounds like most of you are doing great.  I am almost finished too.  It's a smaller box than I would normally make, but it has some very special ornaments in it.  So hopefully my partner likes it.

Extras Questions!!!!

1.Do you like scented holiday candles?
2. Do you like gingerbread men? (The designs, cookie, or scent)
3. Do you like Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer, Frosty, or Santa??

To answer my questions:
1.yep!
2. heck yeah! Especially the smell!! GBM are sooo cute!
3. I love all 3- especially Rudolf!!

Almost entirely done shopping!!! Waiting to get paid to send gifts out! :3 Are we allowed to post a blurry spoiler pic of one of the ornaments?

[MiRaja]

Rehairs are lovely. . .!  I especially love shy-pose Pegasus and Bowtie pose.  I do like simple color schemes, however, not a billion and one colors, or anything overly bright. 

1.Do you like scented holiday candles? - Depends, I like woody and earth scents.  Like Sandlewood, Argan and Aloeswood.  I don't like sweet and cloying and I'm burnt on the holiday cinnamon craze, and also anything pumpkin. 
2. Do you like gingerbread men? (The designs, cookie, or scent) Not really.
3. Do you like Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer, Frosty, or Santa??   Nope, sorry.  ^^

I've got most of my extra shopping done, but I've not yet picked out any ornaments.  My area has not yet gotten much in stock, unfortunately.  I went in time to try to use my JoAnne's coupon, and there was barely twenty ornaments to choose from and nothing at all was pretty and striking.  :/  I actually didn't buy a thing. . .  Went to Target today, same story, just nothing special. World Market looks like they just have the same ornaments they had last year which was all the more disappointing. . .!  I have some hand-made ornaments in the works, but I've not yet started.  I'm going to do another of my origami filled ornaments, I think, I hope it will be to your liking, partner.  I don't have the supplies to do my sequin ornaments, unfortunately, and to restock would mean I wouldn't be able to get my partner any fancy store ornaments.  I want my partner's box to be special, so I'm biding my time until I can find the RIGHT ornaments!

I am feeling a bit indecisive about one specific extra, and I was hoping my partner could help me out a little bit. I bought two and I can't decide which one you would like better. I obviously won't tell you what it is, but just thinking your general taste, would you prefer

A pink, cute, but maybe a tad childish one, or one in black and white but with an interesting comic strip?

I think they would be happy with either! Im sure most people here love comic books, and I dont think the ornament would be a tad childish! We are on a forum where we talk about pastel pony toys after all! xD Im sure they will love either! I think black and white would match trees better than pink, but the pink one is probably extremely cute! You could always flip a coin!


Also to my secret partner!! I hands-down found you the BEST ornament!! Like way better than the other ones I picked out! I will buy it on payday because its expensive but I know you will want to own it!! You are going to LOVE this box I want you to have it as sooon as its finished! I have definitely overspent on this swap, but I want you to be so happy!
