QUESTION LIST FROM FORUM THREAD:

Β 

Would any witchees be interested in NASA swag? I'm now super-close to Marshall Space Flight Center and will be visiting the space center with my kiddo pretty regularly. If so, what would you like? Clothes, a mug, magnets, a plush Snoopy wearing a flight suit?

I worked for a company that created a traveling exhibit with NASA, and I even got to transport a moon rock once. You wouldn't believe the box I had to travel with! I had all eyes on me at the airport, because it looked like something that might have a bomb in it. I got to bring the rock home with me for a night and we took it into a dark room, and lit it up with a flashlight. It looked like millions of tiny, black sparkling crystals all clustered together. MAGIC!!! I would LOVE another NASA patch if you see any of those. I already have one for the moon landing, and it needs a friend on my patch bag.

Β 

Does anybody like anything from Solstice Scents? I LOVE their Jack and the Devil. http://www.solsticescents.com/

Sadly, I cannot wear any SS perfumes. They make me queasy. I adore their whipped soaps though~

Witchee, would you like anything from the Trading Post Halloween update? https://blackphoenix...y/weenies-2017/

I would LOVE to try the Crimson Pumpkin Floss, Purple Pumpkin Floss and the White Chocolate Pumpkin Floss YES!!!!

Awesome farmer's market by my house. They have a local honey stand (which also sells things made from local honey like Propolis tincture!); there's a small apothecary and she additionally makes soaps and hand-made, hand-poured scented candles; plus a guy that makes an array of BBQ and Hot Sauces. Does any of this appeal? Would you like anything from my local farmer's market?

Yes, the soaps would be lovely as long as they don't have tallow, milk or honey. I adore candles and BBQ sauce.

Β 

Smolder Cosmetics. Do any of their products (glitter, eye dusts etc) appeal to you? https://smoldercosmetics.com

These are gorgeous, but I absolutely cannot use any powdered eye dust, eye shadow or blush. It must all be cream based, otherwise my eyes go red and angry.

Same as above ^^^

Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun?

I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but...

What kind of crystals would you like? I am looking for a crystal clear citrine and perhaps a smoky quartz. Anything with a rainbow prism inside would be welcome too.

Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? I feel like a broken record, but if you can find or make vegan versions, I love either.

What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite? Mexican Wedding Cookies or Snickerdoodle.

Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.) I would love to sample this, but have super sensitive skin.

Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur? YES!!!!!!!!

YES YES and again YES!!!! to the Apple Crips

Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.

Would my witchee like this to warm up the fall coffee cup?? https://www.truelemo...gory-s/1871.htm

Please, no thank you. I cannot do stevia.

do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above?

Yes, I have an enormous claw foot tub that I love to make into magic.

Β 

What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? Would you like decals, skins, or cases for any of these? I don't need skins, thanks tho.

Β 

See's Candy. My absolute favorite. They have special Halloween candy..any of these pique your interest?? Cinnamon Apple Scotch Mallows, Pumpkin spice truffles, pumpkinspice lollypops, caramel apple lollypops, or any other of their chocolates, etc? I hope dear Witch you aren't too put off by the fact that i'm a vegan. I'm not sure I can enjoy many of the things from See's Candy. If it's too challenging I would be incredibly happy with salty snacks like nuts, popcorn or even ginger chew type things. You will also see an example of the vegan caramels I adore on my Amazon wishlist posted at the bottom if this helps.

Do you like Broadway shows/music? If so what are some of your favorites and/or ones that you hope to see or listen to eventually? Would you like merch from your favorite shows or CDs from shows you want to listen to? My husband and I honeymooned in NYC 22 years ago and have been back several times since then. I do love broadway shows but have not seen too many. I would love to see Hamilton, and Hello Dolly but i'm also into immersive theatre which is very hot right now. A few I've been looking at are: The Illuminati Ball and Sleep No More

I'm heading to NYCC in October! Is there anything I can get my Witchee while I'm there? I would LOVE to try the Apple VII - Apple cardamom cake :P or the Sugared Apple Bath Oil.

I'm going to Edmonton Expo this weekend (It's Edmonton's version of comic con). Would a witchee like anything from there? Gene Simmon's autograph? :werewolf: I'm crazy for graphic novels and anything even slightly Japanese anime. I see a BUNCH of vendors at this event, so I must say 'surprise me'

Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)? I NEED the Pine Needle coasters and the telephone wire basket! Oh gods, I need most of the HOME items. The wrap bracelets are adorable, and also the scarves and knitted items would definitely thrill me.

Do you have any favorite, lesser-known stores? Especially ones that sell hand-crafted or independently made items. Check out my Etsy wishlist.

Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get! Concert posters, especially ones by Chuck Sperry (faint)

Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com

THIS AND THESE ZZZZZZ that site has a bunch of killer stuff.

Β 

Do you have something you wish you put on your original questionnaire/forgot to put/would like to add on to? I like to hug trees. I hug the huge pecan in my backyard quite often.

If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits. I love a house completely decorated with floor to ceiling tapestries, big fat floor cushions, incense burners, rugs, meditation cushions and lots of beautiful woods with rainbow crystals and windchimes hanging in the windows. I guess this is hippy eclectic but my house is already pretty close to that.

Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? I have a few aprons, but I don't really wear them. I do like tool aprons tho.

BTW, would my witchee be interested in something like this? (photo of black and white striped knitted doll) That is so adorable! Of course I would give her a good home.

Β 

Do you wear socks? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference?

I generally wear anklets in the summer, and in the colder months, long knee highs and even over the knee. I can handle anything if it’s cute or sexy, but I LOVE really soft fibers.

Would you be open to previously-loved books?

Of course, but nothing too food stained.

What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP?

Sure!

So what are your favorite fandoms?

Wes Anderson, Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, Studio Ghibli, Mark Ryden.

Β 

I'm in France at the moment, is there anything here you might like? I'm in Provence, the land of lavender, so if you like that flower in particular just say so!

I have a tiny little perfume bottle my father brought me from France years ago. It is a treasure to me. If you see any lovely perfume bottles to share with me, I would cry, and yes I am passionate about lavender.

Β 

are you into divination? What kind(s) do you currently do? Do you want more books and/or tools for that type (e.g. new tarot cards, new runes)? Is there a new type of #divination you've been meaning to try, and if so, are you looking for the tool, a book on the subject, or both?

I read tarot, use candle magic and have a few things on my Amazon wish list that i'm interested in. I'm into trying something new, perhaps scrying or a newer book on candle magic or something you've been interested in. I've recently gotten into further study on Goddess Arianrhod, and her starry wheel.

Β 

Favorite gemstones?

Rainbow moonstone, amethyst, midnight sapphire, black opals, labradorite, jade, alexandrite, turquoise, emerald.

If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky?

I have all kinds of jewelry and where all kinds depending upon my outfit, except for earrings which MUST be light. My ears don't like heavy stuff.

Any love of pirates or SCA? Pirates are fun, but I don't collect any pirate bounty.

Is there anything you would like from Disney World?

GAH! the shopping at Disney World, BLOWS MY MIND!!! I remember the CUTEST Japan store at the Epcot center. Good grief! I would take ANYTHING from there - paper note pads, pencils, pens, lucky cats, jewelry, socks, stuffies, tea cups, lanyards, glass. Pins and boxes for BPAL are always welcome especially from the Haunted Mansion.

Β 

Are you a Potterhead? If so, to which house do you belong?

I'm in the Ravenclaw house which is perhaps a good fit for several reasons.

Β 

How do you feel about chokers?

I don't really wear thin chokers often because I don't really wish to draw attention to my aging neck, but I do wear a few pieces that are wider and I love layered necklaces that either wrap or have a few different lengths of chain.

Β 

Would you like some Halloween or other themed decor in the form of a banner, something like this http://www.etsy.com/...n-decor-vintage? If so, would you prefer a traditional style or a vertical door type?

That's adorable. It would be fun to have something to hang over a doorway rather than vertical.

Β 

Do you live near a Trader Joe's? If not, are you interested in trying any of the numerous Pumpkin goodies they come out with this time every year?

We do have a TJ's here. I really love the nuts and dried fruit selection treatwise. I'm open to pumpkin stuff, but it's GOT TO BE VEGAN.

Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets?

I'm crazy about different kinds of salts, especially smoky, black and pink. We also have an amazing pepper grinder and could always use more pepper corns. YES on spices, we use so much, vanilla extract is always welcome.

Β 

I'm at Ocean City MD for bike week......would a witches want anything from here? Bike or beach related??

Some mermaid looking beads or stuffy would be fun.

Β 

What is 1 thing you would love to see in your final box? Can be ANYTHING - your choice.

I have to say, one of the exclusives from NYCC. I know it's a stretch, but this would thrill me beyond the moon and back. I'd also like a reveal :ninja:

Β 

Who would love some USPS eclipse stamps?

Sure, they look like they were made for me~

Β 

Do any of you potential Witchees have any kitties, puppers, or youngling humans you want spoiled in your packages? What treats or toys do they like?

Those small, squeaky tennis balls are like gold around here and in terms of treats, they both adore those bully sticks with a passion, even though I think they are disgusting.

Is there any interest in any of the fragrance oils from the Nocturne Alchemy Weenies update?

I tried a bunch of NAVA and have decided it's just not my jam. I am eyeing a few Halloween scents from Possets though~

Are you a gamer? If so, what games are you currently playing and is there any merch for that game you'd love to have?-

If you are a gamer do you have a steam/gamestop/amazon wishlist?

Not really, but was OBSESSED with Journey for a while. I'm always looking for dreamy rollplay games. I do play Hearthstone and World of Warcraft a bit.

How do you feel about the following scarf options (assuming you're into scarves)?

I do love scarves and really like the lacy one, especially in BLACK would be lovely ❀︎

Β 

For those who watch certain movies every year for Halloween, what are those movies, whether horror or not? Any favorite horror movies that aren't necessarily on the annual-viewing list? How do you feel about fan-made merch for these movies?

Nightmare Before Christmas, The Shining, Bram Stoker's Dracula, What We Do in the Shadow's, Beetlejuice, Crimson Peak, The Haunting (original) and OLLA. I have a trunk full of Nightmare Before Christmas things and sure, I would take more. I do like vampire things etc. too.

I'm a wee bit obsessed with soaps, and would love to try your favorites.

What are your favorite/preferred Halloween/autumn icons/images? Any to specifically stay away from?

I love brightly painted skulls, and owls the most. I love Dia de los Muertos things, but live just down the street from a HUGE mexican vendor and really, have too much already. Please, nothing demonic, blood splatter, slasher gore in theme, I very much prefer cutesy girly Halloween and vintage themed items.

Do you eat candy, and if so would Halloween candy be welcome? Specialty candy from local or unusual sources? Chocolate? Sure, but please it has to be vegan (sorry)

Do you want Fidget spinners, desk toys, or other frivolous things that you look at and decide you don't need enough to spend $ on but would make you happy to have? Please no, my junk drawers are busting full~

If you have a lovely zentangle piece you would like to create for me, I would appreciated it, but I have tried it and moved on.

Would you like something from Nui Cobalt Designs (https://nuicobaltdesigns.com/)?

I've been wanting to try Amy Blackthorn's tea selections, and I see they carry them. I LOVE beeswax chime-size candles. I'm not so much into trying any of the bath spells or magickal oils tho, I stick pretty close to TAL and make my own salts and such.

From HoG I seriously love Moon Dog! especially the Hair Oil. I LOVE the bar soap too, but i'm not sure they will be making it again. I don't really like the pumpkin butter, I think it makes me break out, and the scrubs are too chunky for me.

Β 

Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath?

I already have one for the front door, but could use one for inside :P

Β 

What are your feelings about Scooby Doo?

I loved watching Scooby Doo as a kid, but when Scrappy Doo came along, that little brat was incredibly unwatchable. Fast forward many years later, I have fond memories of classic Scooby Shaggy, Velma, Daphne etc. but that's about it and wouldn't want any memorabilia.

How do you feel about indie makeup (read: loose eyeshadow, blush, highlighter)?

I have used makeup from several indie companies, but cannot wear any loose, powder products. My eyes are VERY sensitive to mica dust. It's not pretty~

Β 

I drink this stuff almost everyday would anyone else be interested in trying it out? https://www.criobru.com/

Unfortunately, I can no longer drink coffee :cry2: so YES I am really curious about this and if it would mess with me like regular coffee...

Β 

Would you like one of the Halloween Teeturtle shirts?

Might be a little too "cute" for me. But I do like any of the FOX, Dia de los Octopus, and PURRanormal Activity.

Β 

My fave spooky shirts are from Nightchannels:

http://nightchannels.com

Are you interested in anything from the Moonalisa Halloween update?

Honestly, I've never gotten a bad thing from Moona. I adore the thoughtfulness and care she puts into her creations. Some of the FALL standouts are the new Magic Pillar candles she is making. Also, her Butter Rich lotion is my FAVORITE! I want EVERYTHING in the new Witches Milk fragrance. I'm also in love with her hydrating misters, in Conjuring Room. That one sounds so lovely. Anything with the Moona apricot, The Witching Hour, Kyphi Magic intrigues me, and finally, Swirly Pop and the Blood Orange Cotton Candy.

Β 

What are your coffee and/or tea preferences?

My most favorite tea is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RX51CI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I also love Matcha, Chai, Vanilla, and Chocolate teas. I'm open to trying new tea flavors, and I have teapots for loose teas etc.

Β 

- Coffee: whole beans or ground? Can't drink coffee anymore~

- Tea: black, green, herbal, flavors?

Not big on medicinal, grassy or herbal tea unless you think it's really delicious, but i'm down with all others.

- Loose leaf or tea bags? Either

- Anything specific you don't like? flavored decaf

- Are you in need of any gadgetry? I love tea bowls and other goodies that go along with tea serving, especially the brightly colored Japanese Suzuko tea canisters.

How would you feel about receiving a hand-painted container for your bpal and/or other treasures?

- would you want a big wood box (~50 bottles), a small wood box (~20 bottles) or a tin for carrying imps around?

I could always use more storage options for my BPAL so I'm open to any size really. Love boxes!

Β 

Who is into K-Beauty (Korean beauty products like sheet masks)

- What are your faves if you are? Hada Labo Rohto lotion masks. I use the little cotton sheets with it. It's my all time fave.

Β 

What are some NEW things you've gotten interested in this year? Could be anything, from a new hobby, new genre of book, new healthy way of living, new fav brand of whatever...

I've really been getting into more gothic, romantic fiction.

Black taffeta swishing skirts, candlelit interiors, and gloom with a twist :werewolf:

I can't really say I've started any new ventures, but have been trying to do my Ashtanga each day and setting aside a few moments to meditate.

I've also been buying and playing alot more LP's! Love records the how warm the music sounds.
