[Seachanger]

Oh boy! I'm going to have a hard time choosing things for you partner. You have an awesome wish list! I'll update my Q&A post with the latest answers.

New questions have been added to the list .

I'm glad that some of you are so happy with your partners.  I did try to make people have some things in common.  Didn't always work, but I did try.

Yaaay, got my partner! I'll start shopping on Friday when I get paid. Now off to update my questions.

Here's a question:

Regarding hand-made items: how would you feel about receiving a gift or two that was purchased on Etsy?

Xeevee -- I think (though I could be crazy) I asked a question about people providing links, like to Instagram or Flickr, etc. if they have picture accounts they want us to see (so we know what their interests are and what their pets look like). It hasn't been added to the list. If I asked the question in a dream and not on the actual forum I apologize. That seriously happens to me sometimes...

Might have missed it sorry... Sort of sounds familiar though.  I'll add it tomorrow.

Ah! Not really. I don't dig homemade ornaments very much

I shop on Etsy now and then so that probably wouldn't bother me. There are some amazingly talented people out there who can make things which are just as lovely as what can be bought at a store. I have confidence that whoever my partner is, they're going to send me a lovely box. If they think something looks great and that I'll like it, odds are good that will be true.

Think im all up to date on questions lol xx

updated my questions, and put pictures of my puppy up. i don't have a collection of ornaments. i have a few hallmark fox ones from the 90's, and last years phineas and ferb one, but i don't own many ornaments that i didn't make. so lots of freedom there.

This is basically how I feel about anything handmade -- not only are there really great things on Etsy, but we also have some really super talented members here on the Arena.

Squee I got my partner and her questionnaire gives me so many freaking options, I can't wait to put together an amazing package! I need to do the questions myself for my partner so I'll get right on that but in the meantime here is a link to pictures of my furbabies just in case (xmas ones toward the bottom): http://imgur.com/a/zoukP

For my partner ^^

Favorite Licensed Characters?
Jem and the Holograms, Star Trek, Disney, MLP (ofc most of all), Indiana Jones
Favorite Animals?
Marine animals, horse, big cat, fantasy creatures
Handmade Items?
Yes!
Do you have Pets?
Yes, three. Two dogs and a cat, link with pics above.
Allergies?
No allergies
How do you celebrate the Holiday Season?
Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday! I decorate my house into a winter wonderland, and get the biggest tree I can afford, which I deck out to the max. I love Christmas themed treats, lights, and music, but especially love the smells! I collect holiday candles/smelly things.
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?
Love Kinder eggs.
Would you enjoy receiving tea, coffee or hot chocolate in your box? What kind(s) do you like?
Love all three!!
Would you like to receive cookies? If so, what types do you like? (You can list brands, flavors, whatever helps.)
Cookies would be sweet : )
Do you prefer the outside of your box decorated or plain?
The more decoration the better!
Are there any ornaments that you are likely to already have?
I have a tons of Star Wars ornaments so I really don’t need anymore of those, and I have just about all the officially released MLP ornaments (minus about 3 or 4). I would definitely love more starship type ornaments.
Who are your favorite ponies?
Any celestial/holiday pony in general is a fav. Otherwise I love Gingerbread, Medley, Moonstone, Nightglider and all the seaponies/merponies.
What countries do you like treats from?
Germany, Japan, and Argentina
Is there a pet(s) you would like to have an ornament made of?
Would love personalized ornaments of my furbabies; Gaia (scruffy fat one) Bambi (black fox looking one), and Meek (evil kitty).
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.

How do you feel about Halloween candy?
Love it but I really only eat “Almond Joy” when it comes to Halloween candy.
Is your tree a full sized tree or a mini tree?
I have both! And the mini sized tree is MLP only ^^
Regarding hand-made items: how would you feel about receiving a gift or two that was purchased on Etsy?
Would love it.
Would you like to link to any social media so we can get a better idea what you are like/pics of pets, etc (you of course do not have to do this if you feel uncomfortable doing so).
