Hello everyone, since very very soon we will all know who we will be playing secret santa to, this thread here is for everyone's wishlists. The Elfster interface can be difficult to navigate, and there's a word limit on the text input so instead of doing it there we will just use this thread instead to make things easier for everyone involved so that everyone's wishlists can be easily accessed.
For the wishlists, please include 5-10 items and/or tidbits of information about yourself so that your Secret Santa can get a great idea of the best gift to send you. If you aren't sure what kind of things to put in please check out last year's thread for ideas. Just remember these are wishlists. So be sure to put things appropriate for a $20 limit and also don't feel like you have to stick to what is on the wishlist. As secret santa if you think of something you think they would like then go for it. Remember to have fun everyone! cbvictoria.proboards.com/thread/18923/secret-santa-wishlistsSo without further ado here are my 10 things.
1.Anything CBV related of course you can't go wrong there. Wax or Bath & Body doesn't matter I love it all. There are few scents that I hate, such as Mistletoe or Cherry Blossom. I'm actually not too picky though I am a bakery & fruity lover mostly. Though I am always up for trying new scents. My all time favorite scents though are probably Orange Vanilla Coffee, Whistlin Dixie, Pizelle, and Sophie Belle.
2. Burts Bees chapstick is a staple in my house and purse. I can never get enough of the stuff cuz I'm always losing a tube in the dryer thanks to almost always having one in my pocket lol.
3. I have a love of all things cute or novelty; tiny snowglobes ,cupcakes, Hello Kitty, figurines ,etc.. The list goes on, basically if you think it's cute, I probably will too.
4. I love nail polish from any brand and in any color. There is always room for more in my collection.
5. I have long hair so I like to play it up with headbands, hair ties, barrettes, or cute bobby pins and bows so anything along those lines is always nice to have. I will say though that I'm not a fan of animal prints or big feathers, but everything else is right up my alley.
6. Anything homemade or crafty is always more than welcome. I love things that I know people put heart and effort into. It sounds cliche, but it is cliche for a reason and that is it's the thought that counts and I truly do believe in that.
7. I also love Disney. Anything Disney related really. I especially love the female Disney villains and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
8.Cute gloves or a scarf or a hat would also be nice to prepare for the rest of the cold weather we will be having until March in my area.
9. You can't go wrong with hot chocolate or green tea.
10. And some cute or soft socks are always much appreciated. Like I said it will be a cold winter in the Midwest and I do love adorable socks, you should see my sock drawer!
Like I said don't feel like you have to stick to these specific things. I'm just so excited to open the box and see what's inside. I'm sure I will love anything!

Hi all! I'm really excited to be participating in my first CBV secret santa! Here's my list:
1. My favorite CBV scents tend to be bakery or clean/woodsy scents like snow tafffy, anything with candied banana or apple, lavender and basil, zucchini bread, sugarcane and bamboo, or autumn apple, but I also love strong mint scents like cold december night and burn/melt pretty evenly. I haven't tried the bath bombs or whipped soap, but the body butter and shower fizzies are fantastic.
2. I'm a writer so I'm always on the lookout for nice pens. (I've been wanting a quill pen for years!)
3.If I could choose any other decade to be born in, it would be the 1960's, without a doubt. I'm all about the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Marilyn Monroe and Richie Valens and hope to save up to get a portable record player and more vinyl soon. Antique trinkets and period heirlooms from this decade or from the "edgar allen poe era" are very endearing.
4.I'll be Interning abroad in Dublin, Ireland and leaving "the states" for the first time in January, so anything that can make the trip smoother would be great!
5. My all-time favorite shows are/forever will be, Breaking Bad, The Twighlight Zone, and Lost for the writing and characters.
6. I love getting lost in a good book. I don't have a Kindle, but often use Audible and my Ipad to fit some RL Stein or Chuck Palahniuk in on a busy day.
7. As much as I love a good book, movies are an even bigger passion of mine. Some of my favorites are The Artist, Drive, and Baz Lurhman's remake of The Great Gatsby.
8. My dream is to live on or near a beach because it's so relaxing and serene, so anything beachy I adore. Blues and greens (my favorite colors) echo this. I also love camping and hiking in the mountains in the fall.
9. My favorite rainy day hobby is "latch hooking"
10. I also added a few things on Elfster for another SS that I'm in.
Can't wait to see who I draw tomorrow!

This Secret Santa should be lots of fun!
1. I would love anything from CBV or CBVBB. I am avoiding all nut scents/flavors because of my sons peanut allergy. So nothing with hazelnut, almond, peanut butter (Like Elvis) please. I am game for any other scent and find I love almost EVERYTHING
2. I have a fondness for trees, birds, and birdcages (pictures, branches, ect). Anything that is a tree, bird or birdcage or has picture of one on it is guaranteed to make me swoon.
3. Asian decor can be found in almost all rooms of my house (minus the kids bedrooms). Buddha, Asian symbols/words, Foo/Fu Dogs/Temple Dogs, dragons (not the mid evil/dungeon and dragons type), cherry blossoms, koi fish, pagodas............I love it all!
4. Drinking coffee and/or tea is a part of my daily routine. I do drink more coffee than tea but I would like to try more flavors of tea particularly the Yogi tea brand. 5. My ears are no longer pierced (they closed a long time ago) so I don't wear earrings. I don't wear much other jewelry (I don't own many) but would love a cute bracelet or necklace.
6. I'd love to use my crock pot more often and any recipes for that would be great, whether they are a from a book or ones you love.
7. Stealing Cayla's suggestion for socks..... I love diabetic socks (I'm not even diabetic)! They are sooooo comfortable and I wear them all winter around the house and to bed.
8. I love the beauty of nature and think it can be found in the simplest places like an interestingly shaped rock or the twisting branch of a tree. I however do not have a very green thumb despite my many books about gardening. I'd love a crystal/rock or anything nature/garden related.
9. I am always in awe of the handmade creations that are born from the imaginations of talented people.
10. Really anything that makes you smile, giggle, or is unique is sure to do the same for me. PS I have a strange sense of humor....
ADDED -
11. I love gingerbread men/women/houses as decorations at Christmas. I also decorate with poinsettia motifs.
12. Robots (especially the vintage 1950's style) are totally awesome to me.
13. I have a small collection of Asian style teapots.

1. Anything CBV! I love bakery scents and want to try more peppermint blends. Christmas in Whoville, snow taffy, monkey bread, cider Webb, etc. are scents I want to try! I surprisingly don't have any bath and body from her so that would be awesome too. 2. Makeup is another passion of mine, so anything makeup related is awesome. 3. Gift Cards! You can never have too many gift cards to target or Ulta or even CBV if you dont feel comfortable picking out personal gifts. 4. Christmas movies or cute decorations. Christmas is my favorite time of year so you really can do no wrong in that department. 5. Chocolate is a staple. Feel free to give me anything from Hershey's to Lindt truffles. I won't complain 6. One Tree Hill is my absolute tv obsession right now. Any of the early seasons would be a great gift to receive. That's all I can think of at the moment! I may edit this post once I think of more things.

A few things I can think of right now: 1. Might as well start with CBV. I can't burn candles in my apartment, so as far as wax something I can put in/on the warmer is best. For bath & body, I only have a shower so can't really use bath bombs, salts, or bubble bars but other than that anything is good. I've discovered that I *don't* really like scents with cherry, almond, melon, or baby powder in them, but otherwise I'm open to pretty much anything - there are a LOT of scents I haven't tried yet. 2. Chocolate is always welcome. My favorite is Lindt truffles, but really pretty much anything as long as it doesn't have nuts in it (2 exceptions are Take Five and Peanut Butter Snickers - love both of those!). 3. I'm one of those people who would rather write a letter than type an e-mail, so I love stationery and pens! 4. Most of my online shopping is on Amazon, Sephora, and Etsy, so a gift card to one of those would be nice. 5. I tend to like things that make me think of winter/cold - snowflakes, snowmen, penguins, polar bears, etc. I'll add more soon if I think of anything else. This is all that's coming to mind right now.

Hello hello everyone!
I thought I should do this while I remember!
Disclaimer: I will absolutely love anything and everything my Secret Santa gets me (:
1. Who doesn't love CBV! I'm more of a candle burner versus a melter but I still do have a warmer that I use occasionally! I feel like I haven't tried many scents but I do know that floral and spicy scents are not my favorites. (: I've tried most of the CBVBB products and I absolutely love them! Sadly, since my move in May, I lost my bathtub and only have a shower ): Some of my favorite scents from CBV have been Pink Sugar & Coconut, Ai Tori, Afternoon Breeze and Apple Raspberry Crumble! There's a lot more but I can't really think of them at the moment! (:
2. Gift cards! You can't really go wrong with gift cards (: As a broke college student, a gift card at Target (or stores like Target) would be very helpful (: Also a CBV gift card would be awesome (:
3. I love anything handmade because a lot of thought is put into the gift (:
4. I love to read, even though I don't have a lot of time at the moment, a good book would be lovely! (:
5. Anything for the cold weather would be awesome whether it's scarves or hot chocolate (:
I'll try to add more as I think of them (:
I'm going to be out of my home state from December 18 through January 8. This was a last minute thing planned by dear mother!

Hi, I am Cindy (crr4377) Thank you so much Secret Santa for putting the effort into getting something special for me. I love the holidays and trying to pick out special gifts, but I know that it is a stressful time of year and there is always so much going on. I'm sure we all have busy schedules, so thank you for adding me into yours. A little about me: I am definitely a CBV addict. I love candles, tarts, and body care items. I love to shop. I am a 4th grade teacher, so I am always trying to keep busy, whether it is grading papers, planning activities, or completing professional development classes. I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida last year. My DISLIKES are pink sugar, zucchini bread, blueberry/wildberry, and pine. I am up for trying new scents, but some I would like to try are Apple Butter Festival, Back Roadin (have it and love it), Bunny Slope, Chocolate Sandalwood Spice, Hazelnut Spice, Honey Cinnamon, Honey Cinnamon Pastry, Honey Orange, Marshmallow Peppermint, Pink Chiffon, Sweet Snow, or Toffee Pops. I love all CBV products. (I can't imagine any not being amazing!) Typically I buy bakery, coffee, customer creations, and perfume scents. I love cute candles, woodwick candles, 9 oz. candles, tarts, etc. Other interests/likes besides CBV: - Coffee - I have a Keurig at work and home, so I am always interested in K-Cups: faves - Dunkin Donuts, Donut Shoppe, and Karibou Coffee
- Nutcrackers - especially nontraditional ones, Snowmen, Black Cats, Owls, and Shoe Ornaments (I have a palm tree decorated with red, silver, and white ornaments and several shoe ornaments as accent pieces)
- Pens - I am a teacher, so pens are always a good thing... I prefer to use Papermate Felt Tip Pens, Sharpie Pens, Pilot G2 Pens... I am always in need of blue pens for signing paperwork
- Decorative notepads for my classroom
- Apple decorations, notepads, pens, etc. for my Apple Theme in my classroom
- Candy - Tootsie Rolls, Chewy Peppermint Candies, Skittles, Hollow Santa Claus chocolates, Peeps, Lindt Chocolate (even better than Godiva), Hershey Kisses in Almond or Candy Cane
- Shopping - I am obsessed with Target, Macy's, Barnes and Noble, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond

1. Of course CBV! I love bakery and fruity scents. I would love to try some of the new scents in the past two months. Love the bath bombs in Lavender vanilla, coriander and white lime, and peace so far. Haven't tried the new bubble bars yet but really want to! Would also love to try my Secret Santa's favs! 2. Chocolate! Especially with toffee or sea salt. 3. Love the color purple! Nail polish, earrings, necklaces, even writing pens! 4. Even though it in not a flashy thing, a Subway gift card would be cool, as I eat lunch there every few weeks. 5. Other gift cards... Barnes and Noble, Starbucks... Come to mind. 6. Something from my Secret Santa's neck of the woods. These are just ideas, don't feel that you have to stick to my list. Anything will be appreciated! So excited to be participating again this year! Thanks Cayla!

My favorite colors are black and lime green 5. I wear jewelry with spikes or skulls on it 6. I have 3 cats and I love them dearly 7. Harry potter and the hunger games are some of my favorite book series (and movies) 8. I love to wear makeup, especially crazy colors and liquid eyeliner 9. CBV and CBVBB wise; I love anything with citrus, apple, mint, or anything fizzy. Some of my faves are Garden Mint, Pomegranate Noir, Watermelon Lemon Lime Cranberry Fizz, Pink and Lime, and Fizzy Pop 10. I have yet to try Melissa's lip products, but I have massively dry and cracked lips 11.

Feel free to send anything that you think would interest a teenage girl Happy Holidays

1. I love anything CBV - wax or bath and body (except I don't have a bathtub, so no bath stuff - someday). My favorite CBV wax scents include: Granny's Pie Crust, Elvis, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Nutty Candied Apple, Caramelized Pralines, Peanut Butter Cookies, Pizelle, Lavender & Basil, Pink Chiffon, the list goes on and on. I mostly like anything bakery, fruity, and most florals. The only scents I don't really enjoy are extremely earth or strong cinnamon. My favorite CBV bath and body scents are definitely Pink Chiffon and Love Shack. My favorite products are sugar scrub, body lotion/butter, and shower fizzies. 2. My favorite HOT drinks include Chai Tea Latte & Hot Chocolate. 3. I collect cat stuff & regular sized shot glasses. 4. I enjoy any type of candy that has a mixture of milk chocolate and peanut butter. 5. I love to paint my nails (usually it's only in the summer), but I like any kind of fun, sparkly nail polish. 6. I enjoy reading, and love my [old school] kindle. So, an amazon gift card, or a book would be great. My favorite types of books are tragic love-story type - think Nicholas Sparks. 7. I really enjoy cooking (when I have time), so any kind of recipe you love and would be willing to share, I would love. 8. Any kind of cute Christmas ornament/decoration. I fall head-over-heels when I see any kind of cute Christmas item - usually snowmen and reindeer do it for me. 9. I love any kind of home decor sign that has an inspirational quote/message.
