How do you celebrate the Holiday Season? We celebrate a Christian Christmas, including Santa and all that
Do you love any candy or treats from other countries? Are there any that are more widely available but that you have trouble finding in your area? Hmmm, I don't know if I have any special requests. I love trying new candies from other countries. I LOOOOOVE chocolate, especially dark chocolate. My hubby brought me some Italian chocolate from London and it was SOOO yummy! I've also heard Smarties from the UK are yummy, my hubby couldn't find them.
Would you enjoy receiving tea, coffee or hot chocolate in your box? What kind(s) do you like? Sure! I love herbal teas or hot chocolate! My fave herbal tea is chamomile. I love regular dark hot cocoa or flavored ones like peppermint or pretty much anything. I also love apple cider. (please check all for gluten (wheat or malt usually) contamination.
Would you like to receive cookies? If so, what types do you like? Pretty much any gluten free cookies I LOOVE! Pamela's makes the BEST shortbread cookies! Glutino also has yummy "oreo" cookies, and I love their lemon bars and chocolate covered pretzels! If you want to make me some GF cookies, I'm open to that (please let me know what's in them). No bake cookies I love and are GF as long as you use GF oats. Feel free to have the mod send me any questions about this if you need.
Have you seen Hallmark Itty Bittys? Would you like one in your box? I had to go look these up. They're pretty cute! The ornaments are really cute, I wouldn't mind getting those, especially the Frozen, Disney Princess, or Marvel ones.
Have you seen Hallmark Cubeez? Would you like one in your box? Had to look these up too. They're kinda cute, but I'm not sure what I would use them for. Maybe the holiday ones I would use to decorate with. They're not something I can't live without tho.
Has anyone seen these Itty Bitty ornaments? Would you want one? Lol, answered this above
Do you prefer the outside of your box decorated or plain? either way!
Are there any ornaments that you are likely to already have? Probably not. My ornaments are all generic Target ones or from my kids or swaps.
Who are your favorite ponies? Ooh, this is a tough question. Probably the original 6 G1s are my first love, especially Cotton Candy and Snuzzle. I also love pretty much all the Rainbow Ponies. Oh, BABY PONIES! (mostly G1, but let's be honest, any baby ponies are too cute). Those are my weakness. I love those little guys to death!
What countries do you like treats from? European chocolate has to be my fave, but if there's a treat unique to your area I would love to try it!
Is there a pet(s) you would like to have an ornament made of? My white kitty who passed away, I will try to find a pic to post. I also would love chicken ornaments, I don't have any of those yet!
if you would like an ornament based off of one of your pets or family members could you post a picture and their name please? Please clear as possible pictures that are easier to see. I'll come back to this
How do you feel about Halloween candy? If you can get me the candy pumpkins (like candy corns but pumpkins) I will love you forever

Regarding hand-made items: how would you feel about receiving a gift or two that was purchased on Etsy? I'm fine with that!
Would you like to link to any social media so we can get a better idea what you are like/pics of pets, etc I would not post it publicly but I don't mind sending the link to the mod to send to my partner over PM if they want it
What's your favorite Christmas movie? Would you like it if this was incorporated into your swap box? Tough to choose, I love Christmas movies! I love the traditional claymation Rudolf, I wouldn't mind those as ornaments. I love the movie Elf! (just pulled it out of storage, yay!)

There are always lovely holiday themed mugs around this time of year. Would you like something like that? I love mugs, so yes!
are there any ornaments you've had your eye on that I could get you? Or like "I've always wanted a ______ ornament, but never got one"?I would love more bird ornaments, I only have one that's a red bird I made out of felt. I love the idea of having song birds all over my Christmas tree. I think they look good made out of just about anything, feathers, felt, fabric, etc. I would also love more pony ornaments!
are any of the Disney store ornaments of interest to you this year?I haven't checked them out but I'm sure I would love anything from the Disney store! I love Disney stuff! Especially the older "classic" movies like 101 Dalmatians, Aristocats, Sleeping Beauty, etc.
What scents do you like? Anything to avoid? I like most floral scents, or anything tropical (I LOOOOVE coconut!), I also like vanilla. Anything super sweet I tend to not like as much, or really musky scents. More the stuff in the middle of those two.
Lush have an amazing range of Christmas shower and bath products. Are you interested in this kind of thing? Here's a link so you can have a look: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/christmasI'm sure I would! Especially if they have anything with coconut, pineapple, pear, apple, or "holiday" stuff.
What kind of ornaments/materials/themes do you dislike (i.e. what should your partner avoid)?anything glutenous.
Not that that is often in ornaments, but I guess for extras. That's the only thing I'm allergic to that I think would be a problem.
Let's say, I wanted to include something MLP-related as an extra ... could you list a handful of accessories or (inexpensive) ponies that you wouldn't mind receivingI'm a bit of an accessory nut so pretty much anything you included I would go gaga over! I love the G1 baby accessories and don't have many of those still, or the G1 ponywear, especially hats! I also love Dollymix ponies and Petites, and the accessories that go with any of the G4 line. Or if you made me accessories, I would love that too!
