The 2019 Community Holiday Gift Exchange LIKES & DISLIKES Thread

[theshoppingmom2]

This is the 2019 Community Holiday Gift Exchange LIKES & DISLIKES  Thread

This  is to let  your  Pal  know a bit about yourself

What do you  collect, your favorite movies, books, colors , food , scents, hobbies,your pets, music, teams, drinks ( coffee , tea, ) sweets and on and on.... 

Also don't forget to let your  Pal know some of your dislikes or  can't haves ( some have allergies  to certain things)

Try to post in 1 post if you can. It will be easier for your secret  Pal ( once they have their giftee's name) to find it all in one post vs having to go hunt through several posts!

ok,,,,,, get ready...... get set...... go!!!!!!

Sorry for being so late to post. My name in Tim and I live in Tampa, FL. My wife Lori and I run our eBay business and she's been doing it since 2012 and we've both ramped things up about 4 years ago. 

Likes

• Reading non fiction (typically philosophy, wellness type books) 
• Writing (currently writing my first book on creating a healthy relationship with fear) and still love drawing in a sketchbook to inspire thoughts. 
• Beach/Pool - we spend as much time as we can there. 
• Candles - We even bring them when we go on cruises and stay in hotels
• Patio/yard decor. We have a beach theme going and don't get too tacky but I love pink flamingos. 
• Travel
• Coffee
• Jimmy Buffett 

Dislikes

• Country (anything) 
• Chocolate
• Not too much else

Hi I am Stephanie,

I really don't have any dislikes but I do like traditional, classic, architectural, floral, toile, preppy, fun, funky and the unexpected.

My favorite color is coral but by favorite color combinations are pink and green and  blue and yellow.

I do not really have any collections of specific with maybe the exception of Christmas items. I like the traditional, red, green, gold and greenery. I am the all white lights type.

My hobbies are gardening and garden decor. I make stained glass stepping stones and have a whole workshop dedicated to the craft but don't seem to get much done. I love the hobby of eBay.

I live on coffee and cheese-all kinds of cheese, that is a food group all it's own for me.

I love surprises and it will be such fun opening my own "Box of Random Gifts"!

Merry Christmas!
