My confuzed zecret zanta wants hints. I say surprise me, but if it helps....

OK...the same set of hints from prior years:

1. What is your age range? 37.

2. Gender? Male.

3. Do you have a favorite color? I like deep reds (maroon, wine colored, etc), earth tones, forest green

4. Favorite authors/type of book? I'm big into fantasy, Sci Fi, poetry and nature writing

5. What books have you really been wanting? Anything that can be read by somebody whose brain is somewhat fried by toddler parenthood.

6. What type of music do you like? Um, folk. Isn't that why we're here?

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? Yours, or anything from your neck of the woods, or whatever you love.

8. What movies have you been wanting? (specify VHS if you don't have a DVD player) Anything good that can be played in the US.

9. What is your t-shirt size? Small.

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? Excellent musical instruments, but that might exceed the price guidelines....

11. What are some of your other hobbies? The outdoors

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Not really a jewelry guy, except for a few Unitarian Universalist chalice pins, and I have LOTS of those.

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like - I would like whatever you'd like to send me.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. I can't think of any negative hints. I am open to whatever - that's part of the fun! Although now that you mention it - please don't send me Sarah Palin's book.
