My family seems to never have a clue of what I like in this life.
I got an Axe Body Spray gift set...no lie

I do love my family, but perhaps I should give them better guidance.

Sorry man but the way you write it just made me LOL hard. Maybe you should take them on visit into some Creed boutique next year . Or just send them this link by email: http://www.basenotes.net/wardrobe/13932&t=wish

I'd like to wish her all the very best for a full and quick recovery.

Flacon of Aventus and L'instant Extreme Guerlain both yummy.

Perfumecollector zomg that's awesome I can't imagine your collection after seeing that 1 shopping list. That's over Half Gallon of Juice there and around 21,290 sprays if you have on average a 10 spray per ml sprayers!

I am jealous I think that's more juice than I own atm and for sure worth more!

Much sympathy
This year, I made a list with 3 fragrances I wanted, including the price, the addresses of where to get them. He loved that I made it easy for him and I got 2 out of the 3. Next year make a list with all the details, you'll be doing them a favor.

If you consider that it is my hobby, it is actually rather cheap.
Here in the Palm Springs area lots of my acquaintances, friends, colleagues etc practice golf as a hobby and in club sets, balls (especially balls since they lose them more often than hitting the green LOL), green fees plus the membership of the club they play, they end up spending several times what I spend in perfumes, and let me tell you, I have more fun than them.
Some friends are model electric trains fanatics and you should see their bills in scale locomotives, cars, houses to build the tiny towns etc, and I am having more fun that them too. Not to mention the filatelists and numismatics, my expenses are peanuts compared with theirs.
So it depends how you look at it, is not a very expensive hobby after all, and I am having a BALL

And you haven't seen what I purchased after I published that list. LOL
