Halloween Gift Exchange

I think it would be fun to do another gift exchange. I was thinking around Halloween--back-to-school is over, and the holiday season hasn't cranked up yet. It wouldn't necessarily have to be halloween themed, though. Anyone interested? You'd have to be comfortable with sending me your address. I don't have enough money to be a creepy stalker, though, so no worries.
If I get GreenT, I'm sending her poison ivy!!! >:D
eta: 87 tshirts wrapped in poison ivy, and sprinkled with lots of candy
eta: stuffed inside 8 cookbooks
^-^
LOL!!
I hope my responses don't seem too negative! Saying I don't like candy for a halloween gift exchange probably sounds bad. I do like dried fruit though!

haha, no..it didn't sound bad! I just thought the poison ivy part was funny. : )
Here's my info
1. Favorite candy/sweet: chocolate and coconut...although pretty much anything but banana.
2. Favorite color: teal, olive green, fushia, magenta, purple
3. Favorite animal: I love all animals but I'm especially partial to cats
4. Favorite Halloween costume: I'm not going to dress up due to last year's lameness at work where I was the only one who did.
5. T-shirt size (m or w): men's medium or women's large
6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: more tropical plants for my patio
7. I really need a______to further my vegan awesomeness: reusable shopping bags with funny vegan pictures or quotes or hilarious off-the-wall fridge magnets
8. I am allergic to and/or hate: no allergies but a really big dose of hate toward bananas.
I thought of something that I often think I want/could use, but I never think to buy it, and I don't buy things: mandolin slicer.
vh is in miami! Darn, i was excited that they might be in fl. haha. (I'm in the tampa bay area)
Who??
I just emailed my address and stuff! I'm super excited for this.
1. Favorite candy/sweet: anything! I really miss Butterfingers (dunno if there's a vegan version though), but I'm into any candy really.
2. Favorite color: brights like electric blue, lime green..
3. Favorite animal: I guess dogs.
4. Favorite Halloween costume: When I was younger I was always Pocahontas and my costume was made of brown paper grocery bags that would dissolve in the rain. Hm. I liked being a police car though.
5. T-shirt size (m or w): women's medium if it's a brand like American Apparel that runs a little small. Otherwise a small.

Really?! :-0 Ohhh!!! How did I not know this sooner?!
1. Favorite candy/sweet: Mostly I prefer savoury stuff like chips and other snacks, but in terms of lollies I love sour stuff, and it would be cool to have some gummy stuff because you can't get any gelatine-free gummy lollies over here...
2. Favorite color: For my hair - blue! For other stuff...green is my all time favourite but I love bright blue, purple, red...anything really :)
3. Favorite animal: DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!

6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: Vegan makeup... tupperware! Awesome vintage stuff for my house, cool swing dance gears/20s - 40s accessories, a zillion books, stuff for cooking/baking/gardening/knitting/sewing...
7. I really need a______to further my vegan awesomeness: Punky colours hair dye! In Blue. OMG yes.Or some sort of awesome "vegan" merchandise so I can proclaim it to the world on a t shirt or necklace :D
8. I am allergic to and/or hate: Sundried tomatoes. Ewwwwwwww. Oh and like pollen and grass seeds and dust...but if you send that sort of thing it'll get stopped by customs and I won't get it anyway, so shouldn't be a problem!
Ooh Ooh Ooh, I am so excited! Sorry, this is just my first fun vegweb (non-internet) thingy...yay!
Oh and I just thought of something I never had but wanna try. Teese vegan cheeses any flavor, or Sheese vegan cheese all flavors...I haven't tried these yet, I really miss cheese! lol
there are vegan butterfinger things. OMG WHAT ARE THEY CALLED
RC knows. she fed them to me.
chic-o-sticks?
chick-o-sticks taste just like the inside of a butterfinger. i used them to make dustin a butterfinger cake for his birthday. you just have to coat them in chocolate to make them an "actual" butterfinger.
they also sell these peanutbutter bar things that are even better than chick o sticks. these: http://www.groovycandies.com/V2ProdDetail1.asp?Product_ID=1964 we coated them in chocolate too. yummmm.
1. Favorite candy/sweet: ice cream is my favorite sweet but that's kind of hard to send in the mail, so any kind of cookie or candy. i like chocolate, mint, peanut butter, fruits... it's all good
2. Favorite color: I love most colors. purple, red, blue, green, brown, black, etc. i'm pretty easy to please.
3. Favorite animal: wombat
4. Favorite Halloween costume: my bf and i went as the dresden dolls
5. T-shirt size (m or w):a woman's medium is the best bet
6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: funky socks, fancy cake pans
7. I really need a______to further my vegan awesomeness: i'm about as awesome a vegan as you can get. haha, i just don't know the answer. eta: something handmade by another vegan
8. I am allergic to and/or hate: I dislike olives
I'd join, but the box I sent to Cali the last time I participated was a disaster and now I have exchange anxiety.
I'm jumping in here anyway to say, llg, that is one of the most useful (in terms of the giver trying to figure something out) lists of likes and dislikes that I've ever read. Also, we like the same colors.
HH I loved that box darn it!! It was NOT a disaster in any sense of the word. So hush and sign up.
1. Favorite candy/sweet: Chocolates but also gummy or hard candies in lemon or grapefruit.
2. Favorite color: Black or Dark Red
3. Favorite animal: I dont know that I have a favorite animal! Kitties? Sheep? Pony?
4. Favorite Halloween costume: But what if every day is Halloween for me? Pirate. Vampire. Darkly Elegant Victorian.
5. T-shirt size (m or w): Women's XL
6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: Skulls
7. I really need a______to further my vegan awesomeness: box full of cookies!
8. I am allergic to and/or hate: I am not a huge fan of nuts except almonds, peanuts or cashews. I am also not a fan of coffee or coffee bean type things. Also Ginger Chews are GROSS imho!
6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: Skulls
LOL! This reminds me of the disclaimer you gave us at your house: "Don't worry...these skulls are up all year round." ;D
Cali, it was a disaster! It's just that I lucked out and sent it to one of the most awesome people on the planet. (I caved and joined in.)
I dislike olives
Knowing that makes me feel hollow inside.
6. If I had money to waste on random stuff, I'd buy: Skulls
Really?? Then have I got some stuff for you! My in-laws meant well when they thought I loved skulls cause one happened to be on a shirt I was wearing.... Now I have skull items that do not fit into my house. :-\ When I get back I can take pics of the stuff and if you'd like it I'd totally send it your way. No pressure! :)
i am super excited for this! i'm so glad many people are joining! FUN FOR EVERYONE!
i'm not a big fan of candy, but if its vegan i know a lot of guys who'll eat em for me! i bet those vegan butter finger things would be delicious though!
i can't wait. i can't wait.!!!!!!
