Ill go first!!!

The only thing I collect really might be places to go for Karaoke...on any given night, I can think of about 3 different places when Im in TO...man I love it! But thats not really helpful....lately Ive been collecting different flavours of Tea... my BF thinks im crazy but I like to have a selection!

My favourite treats are Pistachios...man, I love those!

Favourite colour, this is good..I went through a serious red phase...Bright red all the way...but now Ive moved on to a very light yet bright ..........Green!! Heehee! Almost like a Lime green tho, Im NOT a walking Christmas tree!

When it comes to Christmas colours, Im a traditional girl...Red Green and Gold all the way. Nothing beats the smell of a real Pine tree also.

What I love to shop for.....but can never decide on something I can really work with...knick knacks, candle holders etc...theres soo much to choose from, I can never decide on what will really work...even with all the HGTV I watch...I dont know what it is. I just suck at it

If I think of anything else, Ill definitely post and add more. Yay! Im excited

I don't have any real collections but I do like angels. My daugther gave me a snowman angel, angels nested in cotton fluff, and I have an angel windchime.

Favorite treats would have to be Dove's Chocolate (milk or carmel).

Favorite color - I have 3 of them. Red, royal blue and purple.

Traditional Christmas colors for me tooo. One year, my daughter and I did our tree all in gold.

I enjoying browsing in the stationery places of stores. I like to create things on the computer using nice paper for printing. I once made a wedding invitation for a family member who got married without sending any. So I made them 9 or 10 to give to the immediate family as keepsakes.

I don't collect anything (I am the anti-clutter!)

I like lots of stuff, milk chocolate cadburys in particular

My favorite colour or non-colour is white, for Christmas I never use traditional, I have nothing in say green and red, however I do use white and gold on our Christmas tree (actually the xmas tree is the only decoration I use ).

One of my very favourite things to shop for are linens.

I collect a lot of things, mostly unintentional! Cats - and anything cat related is always fine; books - my husband and I joke that we decorate with books; craft and art supplies -never know when they are needed!

Favourite colours are greens and yellows - all shades

I use traditional Christmas colours but with natural greenery, so red bows and old-fashioned style of ornaments. We don't decorate inside though, because of the cats, so all of the decorating is to the outside of the house.

I love shopping in antique stores, bookstores, second hand stores, craft stores - I enjoy the unusual, something that you don't see everyday.

Hmm, just realized, it sounds like I'm tough to buy for, but really, I'm not. Honest. I like so many things it is hard to pin it down.
