Ooh, I almost missed this. I had tons of fun shopping for my partner last year, definitely joining again.
//Edit.
Approved, thank you xeevee! Here's my answers:
1. What colours do you prefer:
The usual christmas colors; red, blue, green, white, gold and silver. I also like greys and browns.
2. Do you want or are you opposed to Religious ornaments (please be specific as there are lots of different religions that celebrate holidays this season)?:
Religion is not part of my holidays, please no crosses or anything like that for me. Things like stars or winged animals are okay though.
3. What Themes do you like (santa, snow flakes, carousels, funny, etc)?
All animals, carousels, toys. I tend to dislike funny and cartoony things on my tree.
4. What candy do you like or dislike?
Big lover of chocolate, caramel and mint, not a huge fan of coconut or alcohol flavors.
5. Would you prefer one expensive amazing ornament, or lots of little cheaper ones, something in between?
I'll leave this choice completely up to my partner. I'm fine either way.
6. Are you happy to get glass ornaments (they break easily)?
If they are packed carefully for shipping, yes.
7. What do you collect? Would you like these collections reflected in either the ornaments or the extras in your swap box.
I collect ponies and pigs. Pig ornaments and extras are a sure way to my heart, and pony accessories, stickers and stuff like that is of course always welcomed.
8. Are there any customs issues that are relevant (for example, Australia can be funny about things like straw)?
I don't think there's anything special that applies only to Finland, just the usual international stuff, like no nail polish etc.
Group questions:
partner do you have any interest in the new G1 pony ornament?
You mean the Cotton Candy one? She's lovely, I'd like to add her to my collection some day.
Would you like some hand crafted ornaments as extras?
Sure, I love handmade things.
Do you like tree crackers? The ones that go bang not the ones you eat!
Ooh! I've heard of these, but I've never actually seen one. I'm very curious about them.
Are glittery ornaments ok? Also how much glitter?
I love glitter, feel free to go crazy with it.
What kind of chocolate do you each specifically like? Dark, white, milk, etc? Do you like hot chocolate?
All kinds, but milk chocolate with something like mint, caramel or jelly inside is my favorite. I love hot chocolate.
Does anyone like mint (white or green) or peppermint (red and white) candy? Which do you perfer and do you like it with chocolate?
I love mint too, peppermint candy canes are the best, and definitely mint with chocolate.
Does anyone like pickle ornaments?
I already got one last year.
Do you like christmas socks/ fuzzy socks as an extra?
I'm not really a sock person.
Do you like stickers?
Yes, I love stickers.
Coffee, tea, hot chocolate... What do you like and dislike?
I drink lots of tea and hot chocolate, but coffee tends to give me a headache.
Do you mind any art as extras? Do you have any favorite ponies/ponysona?
Oh, I would love some art. I draw a lot myself. My favorite pony is Fizzy.
Regarding hot drinks, what devices do you have for making them (tea pot, tea infuser, kurig coffee machine)?
I just have an electric kettle and a tea infuser. Nothing fancy.
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?
Hmmm. Well, I like candy. I also like pretty stickers. I like pony sized stuff and accessories. And I like surprises. Be creative and don't stress too much, it's just extras.
Partner, do you like customs or alternate rehairs?
I don't collect them, no
Do you like scented holiday candles?
Sure.
Do you like gingerbread men? (The designs, cookie, or scent)
Yes to all three.
Do you like Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer, Frosty, or Santa??
They are all okay. Rudolf being a reindeer and therefore an animal is of course my favorite of the three.
