It's beginning to look a lot like $WINTERHOLIDAY....

[kshandra]

Hi! I'm K`shandra (perhaps not legally, but I've been using it in one form or another for 25 years now, and will answer to it in public). It's been a few years since I participated here, largely because finances have precluded reciprocating in any way other than virtually, but I find myself in need of some holiday cheer.

My list:

1. Stocking stuffers. My mother continued doing stockings for my brother and me long after we grew up...even after she converted to Judaism. I've tried taking it over for myself, but my husband (bless him) has never really grokked the concept - I'm hard enough to shop for when it comes to big-ticket items - and buying my own stocking goodies kind of misses the point.
   
2. A plush Pudsey. I'm a lifelong Anglophile, and besides, he's just CUTE! ;-) (I'm in no position to bid on any of the autographed ones - and really, one would be lost on me, because I firmly believe that bears were made to be hugged, not put on a shelf and admired.)
   
3. Pocket Dragons. Between the original distributors going into receivership and Real & Muff Musgraves' retirement at the end of 2006, this has become a much harder wish to grant, I know. I currently own (in alphabetical order) Happy Camper, I Said No!!, Magic Reading Hat, Oops!, Playing Footsie, Take Your Medicine, two copies of Rub My Tummy? and Tea for Two. If you're looking for suggestions, Purple would be a good choice, as would It's Okay to Cry, Kiss Kiss Kiss, or You Touch My Heart.
   
4. Wizard101 gift cards. (Yeah, I play an MMO designed for younger players. It's a habit of mine; my last MMO was Puzzle Pirates. *kanyeshrug*)
   
5. A black miniskirt in Size 30/32 (gently-used perfectly acceptable). Anything longer than 22" waist-to-hem is good. A-line would be great; kerchief hem would rock my world. :D
   
6. And here's where I shoot for the stars: Tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson The Immortal at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA in January. I've never been fortunate enough to see the Cirque live, and I'm fascinated to see what they will do with his music.

My email address is purplekoosh(at)gmail(dot)com, and I thank you for reading.

I can dig up some stocking stuffers for you! Message me your address and any allergies/dislikes you have!

[kshandra]

You're marvelous, thank you!

[kshandra]

Thank you so very much - it was the perfect assortment of practical and fun! (I'm a huge Carmex fan, but haven't tried the cherry before, so that was brilliant.)

[russian-mafia-x.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it!

I'd be happy to send you a few stocking stuffers. Send me your address any any preferences/things to avoid and I'll send you some things from Australia. :)

Thank you so much!

The package arrived on the 23rd, so I was able to hand it right off to my husband for stocking prep. And I used to collect keyrings when I was younger, so I was SO excited to look at all of these! (I've nicknamed the metal one "the Borgia elephant," because that hinged compartment absolutely made me think of a poison ring. *grin*)

Thank you again!

Oh, yay! :D I hoped it would get to you before Christmas. I hope you had a good one. <3 And, yeah, I loved that elephant as soon as I saw it.
