So, Oprah has her favorites, and now her guests have their favorites. And, I made a half-hearted attempt at it last year, but here are this year's favorite things. If I were rich I would assemble a basket of these things for each and every one of you for Christmas. But, since I'm not, you'll have to make do with this "Virtual Gift Basket."
Delphiniums
Pinot Noir (I haven't had this particular kind, but hey! I'm sure it is good!)
Creamy, Creamy Brie
White Musk from The Body Shop
Fluffy white pillows, down comforters and crisp white sheets--sleeping in them, not just looking at them and laundering them. Sleeping in them for 9 uninterrupted hours.
Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream Chips
Fresh, Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, grilled
Bath and Body Shop's Coconut Lime Verbena Body Splash. 
My favorite movie
Bath and Body's Works Aromatherapy Lavender Vanilla.
Best. Smell. Ever.
My favorite movie

Best. Smell. Ever.
Favorite Beer of All Time.
Best if drunk outside your tent in Alaska, watching the sunset around 2 a.m.
Self-Explanatory
L.L. Bean Fleece Jackets
OPI Nail polish in Bubble Bath
Books--Contemporary Literature, such as:
James Avery Craftsman Silver Earrings
Of course, I can't leave out my three favorites, but they aren't coming in your gift baskets because they would eat all the snacks! 
So! There you have it. What are your favorite things?

My favorites, Nicholas Sparks books(I know, you don't like them, but), Twix bars, King sized bed also with a big fluffy down blanket, and GREAT GREAT sheets, A great pair of shoes, comfortable, and VERY stylish, a good, free babysitter on demand, bubble bath and candles, a fabulous massage at least once a week, a pair of long and lean Gap jeans that when you put them one fit like a glove but are SO comfortable, a great comfy sweater to keep you warm, a copy of Sweet Home Alabama, and of course my three favorite things, Randy, Madison and Caitie (and those wouldn't be in the my virtual basket either) Wow, that was long winded!
*My family...I better same them or I'll feel guilty. I started typing STARBUCKS first, but then I felt bad.

*Oatmeal
*Aasics Gel Nimbus VII running shoes
*A good pair of oversized, cozy pj's

*Stampin' Up supplies for all
* A Dyson vac...can't live without!
* Gold Canyon--Days of Christmas scented candle
* Mrs. Meyers Kitchen cleaning supplies (lavender scented..yum!)
Ooooh! I love your favorite things. I may need to check out some of that smelly good stuff at The Body Shop. It's been a long time since I bought something smelly good like that. I also really like the earrings. I'm in this window of time that I can wear earrings again (Calum's old enough not to pull on them, Emmett's too young), so I think that qualifies as reason to buy new ones.
My favorite things include New Balance trail walking shoes, slippers that hug my ankles (not the slip-on kind, but ones that keep my ankles warm too), and cupcakes.
What are my favorites??? (no particular order)
*Tulips
*Baked Flaming Hot Cheetoes
*Warm Creamy Brie (my mouth watered when I saw yours...love it!)
*Alaskan Halibut
*Alaskan Salmon
*Flying our plane while Joe sleeps
*Sitting in our backyard and thinking about how perfect our lives are
*When Joe holds and kisses me
*The smell of home when I go to my parents house
*When my sheets are just washed and my bed looks like a big white puffy cloud.
*Snowmobiling to the top of a mountain, looking around at the snow covered earth and realized how amazing it is to be there.
*Comfy warm clothes and snuggling on the couch with a blanket and the fireplace on
*Getting an email saying I have a new blogger post or MySpace message
-I just realized I could go on and on...better stop there.
I don't know how one line got deleted...
*Running as long as I want without my knee aching.
That all sounds just right to me! Pass the Alaskan Amber please!

*sweet hay
*lush legume pastures

*other mascots especially Brutus Buckeye
Hook 'Em!
Hey, I like that Lavender Vanilla stuff too! I have the shampoo and the body wash and the lotion, and I'm hoping to get the pillow spray and the conditioner for Christmas.
Oh, and I like Mrs Meyer's stuff in lemon verbena.
Good post idea- I'll be borrowing that in the future!
I just finished Life of Pi YESTERDAY. WOW. So tell me, was he in the boat with animals or people??
Also, Barbara Kingsolver is probably my favorite author of all time. Have you read Bean Trees? Prodigal Summer?
Yes. I'm a book nerd.
We get giftbaskets?!!!!
Marie Green--I haven't read Bean Tree, but I've read Prodigal Summer. I liked it, but it was nowhere NEAR as good as Poisonwood, in my opinion. As for Pi....oh MY! I just about couldn't believe the ending to that book. It was unbelievable. I just got so much out of it and I guess my whole realization is that while it may be a better story one way, it really doesn't matter in the end. Especially when it comes to religion. Does that make sense?
I agree with you about Pi- it really was just a matter of which was the best story, and it wasn't supposed to be clear. BUT! Holy sh*t I was not expecting that ending. And the speculation- if there were no animals, then which person was the tiger?
Good book. It took me forever to get into it, but LOVED it once I did.
