We will be doing a "Home-made" Members Only Secret Santa this year. Starting on Nov 29th we will draw names of those interested in participating (members only), and then we will exchange gifts on the long night (Yule).
They can be anything from baked goods to a knitting project, massage oil, whatever is hand-made. Suggested cost is no more than $20, but there's no minimum so long as it is a gift from the heart :)
If you are interested in participating, please post a reply here or let Chelsea or I know at the Grove.

3 of your favorite scents
3 of your favorite colors

I am having a hard time in trying to decide what to make my chosen person. Maybe others are having this problem also?
I would like to recommend that we all elaborate a wee bit on what we may like to have.
Since I have pets, Home made cat nip or fur ball treats would be good.
Although I love baked goods, it is better for my waist line not to have them.
Art - love me some homemade art!
anything else practical: soap. candles, bathsalts, incense. etc.
-
I'm fairly easy going, I think a lot of stuff is awesome, especially anything art related. My favorite themes are nature-related, especially the ocean, rivers, and the woods. (Blues, greens, browns) And mountains, deserts, snow-filled landscapes, with critters, birdies, feathers, shells, bark etc etc.
Food-wise, I'm picky (some say it's what makes me a communist <.< ) but teas or sweet things can't go wrong. Any effort will be appreciated. Oh, but I was just reminded that I should mention that I dislike chocolate + mint. Chocolate plus anything else = awesome. Also, no pasta. Unless you're making me a macaroni pencil case with glitter, then I will treasure it always.
I like useful things, ulitarian things, kitchen doodads, shared recipes (I'm still learning how to cook), recommendations on a victory garden? I think I am babbling a bit at this point. I hope this helps whoever! I'll see you at Yule :) Although I'm gonna be a bit late. Should be there around amulet time with Barry.
