Food: my favourite food is salsa, but that doesn't ship well 
(Well, NeedMoreZoloft managed it!)
Candy: dark chocolate (70% or higher) -- that lindt chili chocolate bar is divine!
Colors: orange is my favourite colour, but I can't wear it, I'm a winter and look good in blue-based dark reds and greens, though a teal on the bluer end of the spectrum definitely wouldn't be out of place among my accessories. Royal Purple is Blair's favourite colour.
Music: My favourite band is U2, but I also like George Michael (though I really own almost everything by him...), Dire Straits, Moody Blues... Kylie Minogue, Adele, Jann Arden, Lisa Loeb... musicals in general (Sondheim, Gilbert & Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Webber)... As a general rule, think "Girl with Guitar." iTunes gift cards are a totally safe option. I have both a Canadian and a US account, and require gift cards to load onto the US account in order to make purchases.
Scent: sandalwood. Once upon a time Avon had a scent called "women of earth" -- I loved that. It's discontinued now.
Playthings: BC labels, etc; Etsy gift cards (or see a list of items I have favourited on Etsy here), iTunes, I LOVE SOCKS... I like washi tape and double-sided tape and stickers and gel pens and fine-point coloured markers because I do a lot of adult colouring and card crafting while my kids do their own art projects. I'm always on the look out for manga comics for art projects. I'm a huge fan of LUSH bath products, especially the gold one that comes out at Christmas time... but I can't find it on their site this year so maybe it's discontinued. I like the coloured soft soaps, though, and Prince Charming shower gel (actually, it's my 6 year old son's favourite!) and generally anything so long as it isn't minty LOL. We do have a bath tub, so we could do bath bombs.
I own a Kobo, so if you can find a way to send non-DRM ePub book files, I am happy to side-load them onto my reader. Kobo doesn't allow you to gift-purchase books, or buy e-gift cards.
Hobbies: I collect stationery and post cards for myself.
Any allergies that we should know about or strong dislikes?
I'm allergic to MINT, celery, parsley, poppy seeds, chamomile; latex, and bananas, kiwi. With that in mind, I LOVE teas. I drink coffee, but prefer espresso... And since I no longer work at Starbucks, I don't get much of a fix these days (Starbucks VIA instants are welcome around here, as are starbucks gift cards!)
Do you have a/any :
Significant other: I've got a Blair! And he's wonderful!
Children: Holly (18) and Johnathan (8) and Ellie (4.5)
Pets: only Peddlefeet (mixed female cat).

(I haven't updated my BookCrossing shelf for a very long time...)
Book Wishlist: My Bookcrossing Bookshelf
(This needs some love. I'll let you know when it better reflects reality!)
My Snazzy New Labour-Intensive Google Doc Wishlist!
Best wish lists to check for books, really are on my GoodReads where I have them separated into ePub, audio, and physical books (the one just marked "wishlist," which has the books that I can't find in audio/ePub or really need to be held in the hand to be enjoyed.)

I've updated my favorites for the Triple Happiness Exchange. 
Also new members might want to add their favs.
- 1,528
Foods: Tea, LaraBars (cashew cookie and pistachio are my favorites). I started my vegan journey in August 2009, so nothing with dairy or eggs in it, please. I really like cookies!
Candy: I really shouldn't be eating candy, but vegan chocolate would be nice, especially with almonds.
Colors: Purple and Pink!
Music: Rock, especially classic rock; oldies; showtunes. My favorites are the Beatles, Badfinger, David Bowie and I also like Def Leppard and ELO.
Scent: Almond, coconut, and baby powder scents.
Playthings and hobbies: Books, of course! Board games, trivia games. Watching sports, especially the Yankees and Jets and the Anaheim Ducks (hockey has become my favorite sport). My favorite TV shows are Pushing Daisies, Charmed, The Simpsons, American Dad, and Family Guy, but I also enjoy watching The History Channel, Discovery Channel, TLC, etc.
I would like Bookcrossing labels; homemade ones would be very cool and I'm especially looking for the BookCrossing 24th Edition Bookplate-Nero's Bookshelf. I also like the Bookcrossing mailing labels and wings would be nice.
My favorite places to shop are Ann Taylor Loft, The Body Shop, and Sephora.
Allergies: Some fresh fruit; lotions or creams with soy, cucumber, or avocado ingredients.
Pets: A 15-year-old kitty named Dusty.
Favorite genres of books: Romance, paranormal, history (especially American and British).
Collectables: Fairy, angel, and cat figurines, prints by Amy Brown and John William Waterhouse, collector's editions of Jane Austen novels

Wishlist: http://www.bookcrossing.com/wishlist/CharmedKim/
Food: yes! j/k, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Hamburgers, Pizza, Jalapeno stuff, I'm easy to please! 
Candy: Chocolate and caramel, peanut butter
Colors: green, blue and purple, in that order
Music: progressive rock (think Dream Theater, Queensryche, Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and also a Die hard Duranie, but I think I have everything they've ever done and even things they only thought about! lol! More recently, Nickelback, Hinder, that kind of thing.
Scent: Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Peppermint, Coconut, basically the foody scents, not so big into flowers and such. (Not Cinnamon, please!)
Playthings: My Little Pony! so far of the newer ones I have Dibble Dabble, Silver Glow and Skywishes. My older ones I doubt they make anymore! I also like Playmobile stuff, especially the dragon/castle/pirate-esque variety, don't have any of the newer ones currently, same with legos. Aren't I too old for that kind of stuff? NAH!
Hobbies: There's time for other things besides bookcrossing?! Cross Stitch is the only one that comes to mind besides reading. Crocheting, Knitting, yarny type stuff I'm pretty good at
