5: Favorite Genre of Reading if applicable: Fantasy, mystery

6: Hobbies: Crocheting, camping, photography

7: Would you like a Christmas Tree Ornament? We probably won't have a tree, or at least not a big one

8: Anything people should stay away from? (ie- “No candles because scents make me sick” etc.) What would be a bad gift for you? Nuts. Not allergic, just don't like them. For scented things, I'm not a big fan of overly sweet, flowery or fruity.

9: Would you appreciate something homemade such as baked goods or a knit object? Sure if my SS is up for it!

10: Do you collect anything? Shot glasses

11:Do you have an Elfster Wish List People should check out? Not yet, I will have to start adding things.

12: A specific note to your SS: Feel free to ask me on Elfster if you have specific questions! I don't need lotions at all but candles are good. I don't really need scarves either. Hopefully I can get some ideas on Elfster soon!

ETA: my favorite baseball team is the Twins and my favorite hockey team is the Wild. I would also love anything from my college (it's on FB if the person that gets me is friends with me) but that's harder to find

[katespade]

1: Favorite Color(s): The purple, blue, green genre of colors. I prefer rich, darker colors as a general rule.

2: Least Favorite Colors: Brown? Maybe? I don't really have a least favorite.

3: Favorite Candy/Junk Food: Gummies. Swedish Fish, Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, Gummy Worms, Gummy Bears, etc.

4: Do you have pets/Favorite Animal? My favorite animal is my Bowser-dog. I'm sure you all know him by now, but he's a beagle/basset.

5: Favorite Genre of Reading if applicable: Fantasy, Mystery, YA.

6: Hobbies: I don't really have any right now. Between work and school, my free time is usually spent relaxing on the couch. I like to read, H and I hunt together, I really enjoy warm things (blankets, scarves, etc), I watch a lot of Food Network, and I'm excited to get to start baking in our new kitchen.

7: Would you like a Christmas Tree Ornament? I wouldn't be opposed to one.

8: Anything people should stay away from? (ie- “No candles because scents make me sick” etc.) What would be a bad gift for you? Food would probably not be a great choice because of my dietary restrictions.

9: Would you appreciate something homemade such as baked goods or a knit object? I'd prefer to not receive any sort of food (unless it's something on my junk food list, of course!), but I would definitely enjoy a non-food homemade item.

10: Do you collect anything? Not really. I love Harry Potter and the Denver Broncos, though.

11:Do you have an Elfster Wish List People should check out? Not yet, but I'll be making one.
