Christinee

Just a note.. sometimes, I may mail things from my school or work address but please mail any swaps to my home (the address I message you or the one the computer gives you when you click "See your partners") and NOT necessarily the return address of the envelope/package I send to you. There are some rules about sending from school /work and I just don't want it to get stolen when I'm gone. Thank you!

I'm a college student looking for I'm just looking for a surprise in the mail that can make me =) and I'm hoping I can do the same to the people I swap with. But, of course, there are always those amazing amazing packages that make your jaw drop... I get really annoyed when people don't rate me and I have to remind them. In general, I'm pretty mellow but I can be aggressive if needed -- like if there's a flaker... otherwise, meh.

I like to recycle and am fairly organized when I have time to clean. I've been a part-thrift store shopper my whole life as well. So I don't really have a phobia for used books and stuff except for body products, makeup, and underwear.

COLORS

• grey (not heather)
• maroon/darkish purple
• pink
• dark, cool colors in general

Dislikes: neons, contrasting color combos such as bright pink/green, pink/black, orange/purple, etc.. except for on cute underwear.

I find homemade and personalized things to be so sweet.

My favorite animals are: monkeys (curious george), kittens (hello kitty), bunnies, ELEPHANTS and chicks/ducks.

I like prints that have retro looking or cutesy flowers (like my avatar), especially when they are combined with my favorite animals. oh, and hearts.

I'm actually pretty easy to please. Don't worry about sending me anything -- if I can't find a use for it, I will most definitely just pass it on to a friend or family member who can.

I. Specific Stores that I would love giftcards to: Target, Amazon, Macy's, Walmart, Costco, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie

II. Handbags, Wallets, Purses, clutches, Cosmetic Cases to Put stuff in, pencil pouches (free gifts that come with your Clinique, Lancome, etc. purchases, etc.) Sanrio, Lesportsac, coach, dooney and bourke, rampage, nine west are some of my favorite brands. I like making little travel kits for my friends because we go on a lot of speech and debate tournaments.

III. Some specific brands (I like practically anything made by these companies):

• Victoria's Secret / Victoria's Secret PINK Size XS in everything but no thongs/highrise/granny panties please!
• Hello Kitty (is my fav. but I like Sanrio in general. Chococat is a plus too.) I ADORE THOSE EUROPEAN CELL CHARMS WITH HELLO KITTY IN A COSTUME!!!
• Borders (bookstores) paperchase collection. Basically, everything in their gift section -- cards, toys, pens, magnets, tissues, EVERYTHING!
• Curious George, Volcom, Forever 21, The North Face, LeSportSac, Paul Frank, Coach, Nine West, Burton, PUMA, Nike, Dooney and Bourke, Coach, Gap, havaianas

IV. General Stuff:

• Artificial Tears (my eyes are so dry!) My favorite brands are: Allergan Refresh and Visine
• unused postage

V. Dream Wishlist

• A completed quarter collection (See "What I collect")
• A wristlet big enough to carry my cellphone (I have a RAZR) -- handmade would be cute.
• A nice pillow, firm or one of those memory foam ones please, I am an "aggressive sleeper."
• Bare Esentuals foundation

Dislikes: knockoffs, the smell of smoke, Anime, Dollar Store Stuff (though, Target Dollar stuff is OK), Aeropostale, stuff w/ studs and spikes, diddl, earrings (I don't have pierced ears), rings (I lose them too easily)

Stuff I Don't Need SOLELY b/c I Already Have Oodles and Oodles of Them: (These items are not off limits, you can still send them to me if it is part of a particular type of swap or you really think I will like it b/c it is made by Sanrio or it is mango flavored or you personalized it--some reason like that! Don't stress yourself out... remember, simply surprises in the mail make me smile.)

*Perfume, Hotel Minis, Anything from Bath and body works, Stuffed Animals (Except for Sanrio), canvas totebags, Craft Supplies, bars of soap

US QUARTERS ARE AT THE VERY, VERY TOP OF THE LIST OF THINGS I WOULD LOVE TO RECEIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE SO HARD TO COLLECT AND SOME OF THEM ARE MAINLY AVAILABLE ON THE EAST COAST OR MIDWEST.

The list of quarters I am missing is first sorted out by date, and then the D and P on the left indicate where it was minted. You can find where it was minted by looking on right of the "heads" side, under the words "In God We Trust." There should either be a D or a P. If there is a (Pending) next to the state, that means that I do not have it yet, but am in the process of trading for it.

2004

P: Texas, Iowa

2005

P: Minnesota

2008

D: New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii

P: New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii

*Nutella UPCs--the gold seal under the cap (See Pic: http://www.nutellausa.com/images/nutella-gold-seal.jpg)

I could always use more black sharpies (any size), magnets, and rubber cement, and soft pastels.

I don't know how to knit, make ATCs, or matchbox things but I envy all of you who know how! I promise to that I will try during the summer when I have more time. I can sew, but I usually do it only to fix my clothes.
