  1. So excited!

    I'm an INFP who loves nature, plaid shirts, playing my ukulele, and reading/collecting antique books. ;)

    I love loose leaf black tea with real ingredients, my favorite company is Metolius Tea. :) I enjoy drinking them out of tea cups and cute mugs that I collect (new and vintage). I also love plain, black, freshly roasted coffee. I love dark chocolate, but I can't have a lot of kinds because of soy and gluten allergy.

    I'm not a makeup person, I wear it, but I don't collect it.

    My dress style is simpe and classic. And my jewelry collection reflects that. I love simple chains, long and choker with pendants. I do love hats, particularly vintage hats.

    I love herbs, flowers, and essential oils.

    I enjoy baking and cooking and creating new recipes.

    I love journals and notebooks, pretty stationary, and quality pens.

    That's all I can think of, I'm pretty easy to please!

  2. Hi All!
    This sounds like so much fun!!
    I'm a labor and delivery nurse, with a love for travel, beautiful and unique things, drawing, yummy coffee and butterflies.
    I'm an introvert with extrovert tendencies... and while I enjoy a good party or night out- I really enjoy spending time on my bed and reading or watching a movie!

    I love drawing/watercolor materials. Interesting/nice pens and pretty earrings (not too dangly).
    Jewelry is usually somewhat earthy and unique. My favorite colors are almost a wine red (like deep merlot or cranberry), forest green, and purple.
    I have a somewhat hippie boho flair.
    Looking forward to Christmas, and also shopping for you- whoever you are!

  5. Hi Everybody!
    I am a friendly, warm-hearted person who loves cold weather best. I love vintage things, classic authors, lipsticks, and cooking. I am a recipe-developer/food blogger in my spare time and as such love unique foods/spices/condiments and especially love foods tied into some local aspect. I love pretty things and clever words. I love handmade things and Broadway soundtracks, plus swing/big band music. Anything that has thought put into it. I also love history and Kate Spade.

  7. Hello!
    I'm Anna Heffington and I'm currently pursuing a career in musical theater/ vocal performance. Traveling is my love language (NYC has my heart��). I also love succulents, adventures, over sized sweaters, lattes, and simple gold bar necklaces are similar simple jewelry.
    I'm not a huge fan of candles (mainly bc I always receive them), or tea and stationary (for the same reason ��). Can't wait!! Anna Heffington

  8. Hi everyone! My name is Hallie, I am 20 years old, and I’m currently trying to figure out my life ;) I attended Texas A&M the past two years, as a member of the Corps of Cadets, but this semester I am interning with a policy organization in Richmond, VA, where my parents recently moved.
    I love history, reading, handwritten letters (writing them and receiving them), hiking, the mountains, travelling, learning Arabic (I’m VERY much a beginner), horses, traveling, Christmas, and anything old-fashioned. I’m kind of a hopeless romantic at heart, though I also have an intensely logical streak. I’m a former tomboy who likes the idea of being more girly, but is still trying to figure out this whole “fashion” thing. I love classic looks, though. I’m also mentally preparing for my first winter with snow, as it’s not very common in Texas, but I’m super excited for it! And I can’t wait to be a part of this gift swap!

  13. Hi all. I’m Charity, justice seeker, history aficionado, fire and rescue volunteer, avid reader, patriot, and paralian hopeful. I greatly enjoy reading (on just about anything), studying, thinking, singing, painting and sketching, volunteering, writing (letters, short stories, etc), working out, hiking, and being outside. I like ships and the sea, anything Scotland, adventuring, military, mountains, libraries, and a good cup of tea. I am a good mix of artistic and analytical; think painting and statistical coding.

    As far as presents go, I love anything handmade and that you’ve put thought into. Or a list of your favorite books, songs, or movies and why. Old books, inky pens, tactical gear, or quality tea.

    Cheers!
