Changed the thread name so people can find it for this year. And I had to go back a few years to find my list to update:

1. What is your age range? Fifty-something

2. Gender? F

3. Do you have a favorite color? Dark Blues and Greens

4. Favorite authors/type of book? How about a cookbook? Something from your area.

5. What books have you really been wanting? I have so many books I should give them away, not ask for more!

6. What type of music do you like? Eclectic. Classical, folk, blues in particular.

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? None in particular. I enjoy the CDs put out by Mudcatters!

8. What movies have you been wanting? I have too many I haven't watched already.

9. What is your t-shirt size? Large, since cotton is likely to shrink.

10. Do you collect anything? If so, what? Not any more on purpose.

11. What are some of your other hobbies? Photography, gardening, sewing, I am intent on making jewelry, have lots of beads but not time to string them.

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Neither. Colored stones (semi-precious, minerals, etc., such as interesting beads or pendants).

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like Tell me about your area, use local newspaper to wrap or pad your gift, etc.

I'm easy to please. I enjoy the game as much as the gift.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. Alas, I am allergic to chocolate and coconut. Otherwise, consumable items, eaten or used up in some fashion, are great!
