This is my eleventh year participating.
Thank you so much for reading my wish list! I understand about being on a tight budget, and I will be very grateful for anything that is sent to me. My family does not really exchange gifts, so I absolutely love being part of the VF exchange and being surprised. It makes my holiday season! Thank you in advance for being my Santa. Please do not be put off by the length of my list. I only included a lot to increase the element of surprise and give my Santa more to work with. Hopefully that will make things easy. I will be thrilled with anything I receive. I have been married for twenty six years to a real sweetie, and we have a wonderful twenty year old son, and three black cats who we treat like additional children. I have chronic pain issues, so I cannot do anything with high impact. My favorite workouts are, non-complicated dance, kickboxing, yoga (including kundalini, hatha, and yin and restorative, and anything to help with low back/neck and hip opening). I adore using Les Mills on Demand. I’m a music snob/geek, so I love workouts with great music. I do not do any Firm, pilates, step or complex cardio. I love anything “woo woo” and hippy dippy (have them all, but workouts like Misty Tripoli, Soul Sweat, Yoga Booty Ballet, NIA, Bellyfit, etc) Please do check back. I may add more ideas after seeing other people's lists DVD Wish List: ( I am fine with gently used dvds, especially Cathe since I know they can be pricey. If they are too expensive, I am happy with absolutely anything from the list below) - Cathe Freidrich Rockout Knockout (Amazon, Collage, Total Fitness) -Cathe Freidrich X Train Hard Strikes dvd (Amazon, Collage, Total Fitness) -Cathe Freidrich Push Pull (Amazon, Collage, Total Fitness) -Lee Holden 30 Day Challenge dvd (Amazon) -Ravi Singh/Ana Brett Beautiful Breakthroughs (Amazon) -Red Hot Dance Fitness Christine Gallagher (total fitness dvd/Collage) -Altheatized Funky Dance Aerobics: Amazon -Altheatized Smooth Grooves (Amazon) -Brett Larkin Morning Yoga Ritual (Amazon) - Shaun T CIZE Weight Loss workokuts ( I have the original set) if you happen to have found them cheap somewhere.

I mean to share recipes, not to buy cookbooks. I am also obsessed with using my Instant Pot, so if you have found any great free recipes, please share! I also love kitchen gadgets , like cute cupcake liners, or silicone spatulas in bright colors with sayings about baking , or plain ones. Beauty products: -burt's bees "fig shade" lip shimmer or lip tints in deep pink/rose shades or red (any brand-nothing expensive) -I have really gotten into buying different lip colors. I love colored lip gloss/lipsticks in shades from deep pink to rose, wine, burgundy, and red with cool undertones. I can also use clear lip gloss. Flavored lip gloss in vanilla/birthday cake similar to the discontinued ones by philosophy brand are also appreciated, or fruit flavors. Cheap brands are welcome! (NYX, LA Look, Wet n Wild, etc). -I dislike fruit scents, except for coconut. No lavender scents, please (causes headaches) -Shower gel or lotion in any scents listed below, or holiday scents :cinnamon/vanilla, warm vanilla sugar -Body butter from Trader Joe’s in coconut, pumpkin or pomegranate, or body butter from anywhere! -heavy duty hand cream-my hands get SO dry in the winter.

Holiday Treats: (no allergies) I adore chocolate, (especially dark chocolate, chocolate with peanut butter, like Trader Joe's dark chocolate peanut butter cups, or chocolate with peppermint or mint) and dark chocolate covered pretzels or peanuts. I prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I LOVE peppermint bark. I also enjoy trail mix with nuts/dried fruit and bit of chocolate or mini peanut butter cups (like the "Adventure" trail mix at Aldi or anything from Trader Joe's or Target. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but please do not send any of the following. I would hate money wasted on things I cannot use or do not need. Thank you! -candles (we have very curious cats ) -holiday decorations and ornaments –we are fully stocked! -coffee/tea/hot chocolate-we have plenty -lip balms (ones that are not tinted) I have plenty already -cookbooks-too expensive, and I have a large collection -mugs-we have no more space due to my huge collection of Snoopy mugs

This is the first year I was able to get myself together enough to participate in the Gift Exchange.
A little about myself: I'm retired and have been downsizing and minimalizing (is that a word?) for the past 6 years. I'm a crafter--knit, embroider, and crochet. I love handmade things, and I give handmade, but useful, gifts to others. I'm not much of a fragrance person, with the exception of lavender. I love lavender. I put together a list of things that might give an indication of my tastes/needs on Amazon, but please don't feel as though you have to get something from the list. It's just some insight into how I spend my days. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/l...?ref_=wl_share As far as workouts go, I do mostly T-Tapp, Classical Stretch, and some pilates. I do like gentle yoga, ala Jane Adams (I have all of her dvds) and Jessica Smith (and I have all of her yoga/stretch dvds, too). At my age, I prefer gentle more than high intensity. And I prefer workouts that stretch and strengthen. I walk for cardio. I have no allergies that I know of. And now I feel as if I've had more than my fair share of narcissism. I'm editing to add that I'll be happy with anything, even if you decide just to send me a lump of coal. Participating is all the fun for me. |

Can't wait
This is so much fun! I love purchasing stuff for my VF Secret Santa. I can't wait to read the wish list for mine and start working on it!
My favorite socks are still the ones my Secret Santa Cheri gave me last year I will come back and add a list here soon. Linda
