2025 My Answers to Switch Witch Questions!
Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? Not weenies per se, but I would be interested in trying Snake Bouquet and Snake in the Grass. Maybe Pumpkin Funnel Cake depending on how cakey and delicious it is. For weenies, In Night when Colors all to Black are Cast! I'm quite curious about Black Eyeliner, Plastic Rats, Gummi Fangs, Vintage Kitty Blow Molds, Devil Flash... How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I like black and jewel tones and dark colors. No pastels please. I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? I would love things like the tea cosy with mat, bowls, vessels, etc. I am too warm 99.999999% of the time and wearables would be wasted on me. do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Yes, it's in my signature in the circular swap help. Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? Yes and yes and yes and yes and ... yes. I also need a little tree skirt for my tiny tree. One with black and white spiral stripes would be amazing. Maybe 2 feet in diameter? Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes, also linked in circular swap help. As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? The Gamboge Dragon atmosphere spray sounds interesting as does the Cerise Dragon hair gloss. Maybe Bastard-Amber dragon perfume oil. I would be happy with decants.
I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. I never go anywhere and I have a mostly shaved head so probably not. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I love all kinds of witchy supplies but I don't have anything in mind right now. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Yassss! A painting or maybe a tattoo design?!? I now have four bats on my left arm along with with a moon. I would love more tattoos -- these ones are just flash from Friday the 13th specials. I'd love a huge bat on my back whose wings wrap around me (there is some armor in Diablo IV that is similar to what I'd like, lol), an ankh, celtic or nordic inspired horses, hippocampus (fairy tale creature), dogs (blue pit bulls especially), ravens, bats.... I'm partial to black and white monochrome, blues/purples/blacks/greys, gothic, celtic, nordic, etc. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Delicious kit kats of course! I don't know what else is available though. And I do get the imported kit kats here at Hmart and World Market, so maybe if there exclusive flavors available only there? Anything Rabbit in the Moon (soy sauce dish, large mug, something useful.) I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? It really depends .. I have so much clutter that I don't especially want knick knacks or things that sit on flat surfaces with no purpose. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc. I'm sorry, these are not my style. Gorgeous though! Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. Pretty much any of the Monty Python, Princess Bride, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lydia Deetz, Don't Blink (Doctor Who), Firefly, Don't Torture Yourself (that's my job), Nightmare before Coffee, Haters Gonna Hate Pit, Krampus ones, some of the Stranger Things, etc. Women's Signature, always black or grey, probably a 3xl. BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com) has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! I'm an 18/20 from Lane Bryant, so maybe from here too? I like the skeletal rib invisible zipper romper (black) but maybe in a larger size - 3x? The color block bats button down shirt, probably in the 2x. Bat print stretchy textured zipper hoodie maybe in the 4x? I like over size zip up hoodies. I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? No, it would just be a dust catcher for me. Feelings on candles/wax melts? I don't burn candles a lot because I'm too hot and they raise the temperature a bit. I do like both candles and wax melts though, mostly because I am a scent hoar. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? No thank you. Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. I can get imported Tim Tams here, so I'm good on that. Maybe a special Australian Starbucks card? (doesn't need money on it.) Or a demitasse size Starbucks city / country cup? (full size is welcome too, but I don't use travel mugs much.) I think I saw some Rabbit in the Moon ones and was coveting those. (I love Rabbit in the Moon.)
I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/ Black tea: Copenhagen Blend, Rose Grey, Russian Caravan, Tarry Lapsang Souchong, any of the organic black unflavored. I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. Dark roast ftw! I love flavored or just dark roast. Ground to go into a keurig (I use the self fill cups.) Ummmm I can't think of any fav 70-80's cartoons or fandoms that I would want a sticker of. I'm sure there is one, I just can't think of it. Massive brain fog, this is my life. I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. So I am the weirdo who is too hot 99.999999% of the time and usually I am wearing shorts and a shelf bra cami and nothing else. And am still too hot. But if you wanted to make amigurumi or something, I'm down with that! I love bats, horses, unicorns, dragons, etc. I have a list of "Make For Me" patterns on my Ravelry favorites that has a bunch of knitted stuffies. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it. Ooooh. Does it include leather or pvc or ... let me come back to this. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ They have a cute bat sticker! My fidgets are usually a ring or knitting or my tablet. I'm rarely without the tablet/phone or knitting. I did look at their fidgets and it made me anxious, so I think the answer is no. I have sooo much "stuff". (I am AuDHD.) What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? From TeeTurtle I like the premium woman's in a 2x or 3x. Pajama's I usually wear mens (pockets!) and maybe 2x or 3x. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I don't really wear socks anymore. I would be ok with quality socks, usually black, and I like moons, skulls, skeletons, pit bulls, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc. I don't do well with one size fits all since I have huge feet, and I don't do well with the mass produced nylon socks from China. I prefer cotton or wool socks. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? No, I am good. That sounds lovely but my eyes are getting really bad and I tend to be really clumsy and have a hard time holding on to paper and things. I do my reading on my tablet now. I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. Ooooh. I would love to receive one! I would love a theme of spooky with bats, crows, skulls, cats, dead trees -- but not halloween necessarily as no pumpkins or witches or ghosts or whatnot. I'm not sure if I would prefer a folio or a journal; I was looking at journals last night on etsy and added a bunch to my favorites (but I think that is private.) I might have added some to my stationery list on there. I was thinking wedding guestbook sort of journal (so at least 9x11 and doesn't need too many pages, certainly not 400!) Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.com/collections/halloween No thank you, I am too fat for tights right now. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us I love LUSH so I'm afraid my list would be really long. I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!!
I already answered up thread.
I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well. ALLLL of the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff!!! And I like the Haunted Mansion too. Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? Nope, I'm good. None of my colors there. I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for? I have no idea what they have but evidently we have a Daiso about 5-10 minutes away. I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 ) Wow, am I not getting the email from NAVA anymore?? *runs to look* Usually Halloween is easy because I'm no cinnamon, no apple (except in things like BPAL's Samhain), no pumpkin (usually), no leaves, lol. All of the vanilla, lavender, roses, amber, etc. though!! From Halloween Limited Collection: (ends 10/31) Eternal Ankh Pastel Candy Corn New Moon Bastet’s Ice Cream Candy Corn 25 From Halloween Resurgence: (ends 10/31) Black Vanilla HONEY Black Vanilla Kulfi Black Amber Incense Black Rose Amber Incense Blood Moon 31 Bats Pandora 31 Bats Morticia Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? oooh, recipes is a great idea. And stories! Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." No weird religious stuff unless it's for my weird religion (witching!) No orange pumpkins unless I'm eating them. I don't especially like the traditional Halloween "witches", ghosts, frankenstein's monster, zombies, etc. Clowns - for the love of all that is holy, no clowns. I don't need any hand or body lotion right now unless it's on my wish list specifically. No small coffee mugs (18oz and over is great since a lot of them have been breaking lately. I blame the 13 year old living here.) I think I already covered my sensitivities and allergies (jewelry/metal/bath and body stuff.) Ummm if getting me any kind of dried fruit or whatever, make sure it's organic if it's on the dirty dozen list. (EWG's 2025 updated one.) If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? The only physical books I would want in most cases are cookbooks or fiber art books. (Picture or art books are different - like coffee table books.) Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? Not right now. If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests. OMG the penuche without nuts is sooooooooo good. But the chocolate with cherries sounds good, as does the Matcha that was mentioned in thread. anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea I collect tea pets too... I can't believe how prices have gone up on them! There used to be a ton on etsy! Anyway, there are a couple on this Dryad Teas wishlist. https://dryadtea.com/pages/swym-share-wishlist?hkey=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f&lid=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f&utm_source=swym-Wishlist&utm_medium=shared-wishlist&utm_campaign=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? YES. I love peach! I love rhubarb! I like tomato in things like salsa or pasta / pizza sauce; someone made me some tomato jam once too! I like spicy AND sweet sometimes (candied jalapenos for example, or the "canon sweet hots" green chilies.) I also love sweet! Poesie Tea (poesieperfume.com) what would you like? Royal Wedding sounds interesting. Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Can I have a wallaby? I'd really like one of those. I am preferring milk chocolate lately. Unless white chocolate has cocoa mass in it, it isn't chocolate imo. I like dark chocolate over truffles or caramels but not in bars. I can get vegemite here in the US no problem so pass. Maybe indigenous spice blends? Possum yarn? Yarn from an australian dyer? Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ I am sad that their bats and winged kitties are orange!! And that the skeletal doggo is a dachshund, lol. I do like the Full of Woe brooch! It's kind of spendy though, so I wouldn't expect it. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? If you are someone who makes jam and other things (dill pickles!! candied jalapenos!!), I shall be very pleased to receive such items. Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l) My question. I belong to the zox monthly club, so I'm inundated with bracelets. (I'm a large.) Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? Both not really and always, haha. Ok, so I *always* need cables for my knitting needles. ChiaoGood Twist RED Cable Small - 30" or so is good. 37", 40", etc. 50" is getting a little too big. There are some on my fiber arts amazon wishlist. I'd like to learn Tunisian Crochet but I would need the right hooks with cables (we're looking at $130 for the ChiaoGoo set, lol. So don't buy the Tunisian Crochet books in my Amazon fiber arts wishlist, don't have hooks yet!) I need a Lazee Daizee Viking Knit tool for jewelry making (on my fiber arts amazon wishlist.) I'd LOVE the Nightmare Before Christmas official knitting guide by Tanis Gray in some kind of hard copy (easier than reading on my kindle.) (on my fiber arts amazon wishlist.) I'm absolutely ok with used pattern books!!! Do you like plushies, like Squishables? Sadly, I do love squishables. I only get them on major sale though. Bats, crows, and gargoyles all welcome from both squishables and squishmallows. Or other cute ones; I have a huge purple bat from a small indie company that my partner got for me; it sits on my desk next to my monitors. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy F yes, all of the caramels, chocolate covered caramels, salted caramels, caramel sauce.. I like all of the flavors EXCEPT espresso because I'm a weirdo. I love the taste of coffee only as coffee. I love the smell of coffee only as coffee. I do not want it in my other food or bath and body. 🤷♀️ My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? My question; but if you have mead around you in smaller bottles and it's sweet (none of this dry or semi-dry stuff) then yes please! We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? I don't actually drink very often and only in very small quantities and only when it's freezing outside, but I do love interestingly flavored liqueurs and vodka. Nip bottles are more my speed. Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? I'm good. I do love trying local favorites, so if you have anything that screams "LOCAL FAVORITE" to you from your home, feel free to share with me. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? My question. (My favorite is the San Juan truffle bar.) Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 I shall be going and rolling around in all of the maple flavored things (the maple bread is so evil and delicious) as well as the chocolate mousse pumpkins and the pumpkin kringle. Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods Nothing from the new update appeals to me, but I do love some of the UV glowing necklaces and bracelets! (Fauxfire #2!) probably 24". Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? Planner? I use google calendar. I'm not up to much except doctor appointments and it's easy sharing calendars so I know when the hell spawn or Partner have things to do. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 Wow, those are cute. I love the Moonlit Bats and Gothic Glam. I would absolutely love the deluxe pocket capri or long style. I'm an 18/20 at Lane Bryant but I'm always nervous with new companies that they might run small? Partner loves me to wear leggings around the house more than I love to wear leggings, lol, but I do wear them under dresses (like the short sleeved twirl dresses with pockets from Svahausa.com or skater dresses with short sleeves from other places (svahausa's have a tank top... I need sleeves!) Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it! Tea, gothy clothing, yes yes. Wine gums? A cute Scottish highlander man? (only if he's ok with sharing me with my partner) Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay? Totally up to you!! I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion I actually already have items from her store on my etsy wishlist. I don't think I have the Misbehave pin yet. There are a bunch of prints under artwork (etsy) and some postcards under "cards and stationary type things", like inigo montoya (Avenge) Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au Not really my style. Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Northing catches my eye from Witch Baby's Halloween but some of their regular catalog looks fun. (Aphrodite Face Soap or Morpheus Face Soap, Black Mass bath bomb, Charity Bath Bomb, Dragon's Blood bath bomb, Dragon's Blood soap, Heartbreak Hotel body scrub, Hellhound Scrub, Laid out in Lavender bath bomb, Lunar Tide face mask, Psychic bath bomb, Psychic body scrub, Psychic Soap, Rune Stone bath bomb, Spooky Cat bath bomb, Virgo body butter, Honey Pot body butter. Moonalisa takes forever to fulfill so I am not sure you would have them in time to mail before the end of round. That being said, I love her dusting powder especially the ambers, roses, and vanillas. Maybe in the Vanilla Cola? Sugar Load Scrub, same - Vanilla Cola. Perfume oil in .... can you guess.... vanilla cola! If you could find some of the older dusting powder in Amber Vanilla or Amber Rose, or the perfume oil, that would be spectacular as well. (I love her Bohemian Velvet but I have more than enough right now.) There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? Brian Serway is one of my fav. Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ I already added everything I'm interested in to my wishlist on the black Phoenix webpage. 9/25/25 I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need. Whatever you think I would like! I'm good with honey, maple sugar, or coconut sugar. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. I would take some more mugwort for the new place except that we are going to sell it and move ... after the divorce is final or closer to that point. I'm probably ok right now since I don't cook very much yet; all of my cooking stuff is still packed. I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. BATS of COURSE. Purple spooky poisonous flowers, corvids, etc. Gravestones. No spooders. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? yes. for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions. I like dark roast, I can do whole bean or ground for keurig. I am the heathen who does like flavored coffee (shhh don't tell the coffee snobs) like hazelnut or chocolate cherry, or orange chocolate, or butterscotch, toffee, etc. 9/26/25 Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? No thank you. I have a lot of decks already and I sadly have no room to do a puzzle. I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Skeletons, bats, corvids.... skulls? gravestones? skeletal animals? 9/29 Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay? No thanks, I'm not currently making any B&B stuff. 9/30 So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list? I updated my wish list on the bpal site with them. and now I hear that the bpal site wishlist might be going away so I need to make a copy of it. le sigh.
2025 Switch Witch Master Questions
I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? Do you have an Etsy wishlist? As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!! I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc. Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Feelings on candles/wax melts? Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer.
I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/ I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.us/collections/halloween Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order!

I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well. Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening.

Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?

Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay? I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ 9/25/25 I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions. 9/26/25 Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden? 9/29 Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay? 9/30 So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list?

2025 This is Halloween Q&A
Switch Witch 2025 Questions and Answers
My favourite Halloween soaps from them are Zombie Repellant and Once Bitten, but they’re super local to me (same city, about 5-10 minutes drive to their studio) and so probably not worth your postage to ship to me when I can pick them up either directly from the makers or at one of the many local stores that stock them. Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) Spicy Curcuma, Tisane de Noël, Miss Dammann, and Jasmin imperial all sound good, so I’d be happy to try any one of those Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
Hmm, nothing really catching my eye this year. Maybe The Grey Hound soap? I would kind of like to try a little bit of one of their bath streusels, but it looks like they don’t offer it in that scent. Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Maybe a mini size bubbling scrub in Blood Orange Marshmallow or Spider Silk?
Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
They’re very pretty and I like looking at them in stores, but that’s the extent of my interest in them. I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? Oooh, cashmere lined slippers sound lovely! (You had me at “decadently” 😁) do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
Yes, they're in my signature. I just added some more things to it, but don't let the dates fool you. No matter how long ago something was added, if it's still on there I would still like it. I try to keep a variety of stuff on there because my sister-in-law generally does all birthday and Xmas shopping for me direct from my wishlist. Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
No Halloween tree, so no need for ornaments. Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
Also in my signature. I'm chiroptera on Etsy, so I think you can search that way too. As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.
They sound fun, but really not my style at all. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
Not really. I really like crystals, but I really don’t need any more. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).
I have a stack of framed artwork sitting on my dining room table right now waiting to be hung up, plus another stack sitting in the family room, not to mention the stacks of as yet unframed artwork, so I really think I’d better pass on this. Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!! I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
Sounds fun! I’m sure I’ll never get to Mongolia, so a little something from there could be cool. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc.
The Gothic Lolita style hairclip is so pretty! I really like the rosettes with tails, too. Colors I guess would be blacks, purples, maybe some magenta and/or lime. None of the fandoms shown are any of my fandoms, but one with Akutagawa or Kunikida from Bungo Stray Dogs would be really cool! Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Feelings on candles/wax melts?
Candles I would use (eventually – I’m so overstocked on candles right now!), wax melts I probably wouldn’t. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
I think I’d best steer away from wall art – I already have more art than I have walls to put it on. Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. A postcard from Australia would be great! Bonus points if it has a cute Australian animal on it. (But I wouldn't say no to Tim Tams either!)
I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/
The Rose Grey sounds good, as does the Organic Liquorice Root. I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.
I don’t drink coffee at all, so great coffee would be wasted on me. I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies.
Socks would be fun, and just about any color would be great. A shawlette sounds so cute, too! If a shawlette, then probably black or maybe purple? I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it.
Ok, I think it would be way too much to do in the SW timeframe and you'd need to get my measurements and all, but since you asked, it would be a coat like this one: https://blackmilkclothing.com/products/black-cursed-bats-velvet-trench-coat?variant=49172287881497
I would have gotten it already but when I looked at the sizes it looked like it would run too small for me to comfortably wear. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ No, thank you. What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
I love Halloween socks! Crew style is best; anything with bats is an immediate win, but I’m up for just about any Halloween images. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion.
A vintage Halloween one sounds like it could be fun. A mini journal would be fine; not really sure what a folio would involve, but open to finding out. Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.us/collections/halloween
Unfortunately the one I want (Dark Night) is out of stock in what I think would be my size (F). I guess my second choice would be the Hallow-Queen ones. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us
No thank you. I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!!
I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well.
Maybe something Haunted Mansion related? Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for? I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 ) Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.?
Probably not, sorry. Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia."
I hesitate to specify anything, in case my Witch should manage to find me the perfect (whatever I've said) and it would be unfortunate that I said no, but I am drowning in mugs and have absolutely no good place to put even one more (I already need to rotate some out to the dining room table for part of the week) since there's no room in the cupboard for all of them. If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?
Nothing comes to me. Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
A bat charity (Bat Conservation International, Bat World Sanctuary, your local bat charity) or rabbit rescue? Or any wildlife rescue in your area? If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests. I’d love to get fudge! Chocolate without nuts or old fashioned penuche without nuts would be fabulous! Chcolate & peanut butter would probably be a close follow-up, and my special flavor request would be cinnamon fudge. I had one once that was like the cinnamon red hots kind of cinnamon, and it was delightful. It was a holiday seasonal and the store I got it from has never stocked it again that I’ve seen. anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet?
I love the idea of canning, but I really don't use fancy condiments and I prefer my fruit fresh rather than canned. Poesie Tea - what would you like? poesieperfume.com Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate?
No thank you to the Vegemite, but Tim Tams would be good. I love the idea of an indigenous spice blend, but I really don’t cook, so it would kind of be wasted on me. Milk chocolate is my favorite. I can do a lighter dark chocolate, especially if it’s mixed with some other flavor (I love dark chocolate lemon creams), but not the really dark chocolate. White is fine also. Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/
Maybe one of the enamel pins? Cal the Giant Squid, Percy the Puffin, or The Resourceful Raccoon? The Radiant Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, the Magnificent Monarch, and the Boisterous Blue Jay are all very nice also. Cal's my favorite, though. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? Fresh peaches are my favorite fruit, so I’d be happy to try a very small jar of peach jam! Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l)
I like bracelets, but hardly ever wear them. The zox ones might work because they look like I could wear them at work and it wouldn’t hurt them to repeatedly hit against the desk while I’m typing. I like the True Story one but it’s out of stock. The pink sharks (You’re Great) one looks fun too. I think I’d wear a medium? Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?
Hmmm, I don't really need anything, unless you find Aida cloth in 14 ct. (or 18 ct. at most) that matches the color scheme for this design: https://www.etsy.com/listing/632877360/wicked-witchcraft-pdf-halloween-cross. My eyes just can't deal with anything smaller than 18 ct. any more, and that's pushing it. Small Halloween items (like sticker type stuff) from Doodlebug Design would be nice; I love Lawn Fawn stuff but if you're going that route a gift card would be the best because I already have so much that I can't keep track myself of what I have without referring to my checklists. Do you like plushies, like Squishables?
I love Squishables, but I really don’t need any more big plushies, much as I love them. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy
Both the Ceylon Cinnamon and the Molasses Ginger look very intriguing, but it doesn’t seem that they’re available right now. Of the ones that are listed for sale, the Fleur de Sel seems like a very safe bet, but I must admit that I am very curious about the Absinthe with Black Salt. I do quite like black licorice, albeit the unsalted kind. As a side note, I also really like licorice scented soap. Once in a while I find someone selling it and I always buy a bar or two. My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?
I’m not really into mead, so I think it would be wasted on me. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? I’ve had the rose petal before; it was lovely! Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?
Nothing comes to mind. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?
“Imperfect chocolates”? I would say that I don’t believe there is such a thing, but I’ve messed up a big batch of what were supposed to be molded Halloween chocolates, so I guess it happens. But that’s a different kind of imperfect that these, and this “seconds” kind of imperfect sounds just as good as perfect! I’d be most interested in trying the Moon Rocks, Nutbutter Pretzel, San Juan Salted Toffee, or Mexican Hot Chocolate. Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 I have a TJ’s nearby. Just drove past it today, in fact. Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods The tricksy leaves necklace and the red & purple cascade necklace both strongly appeal to me, but I’d consider these way too expensive to receive for SW. Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? I am so not a planner person, unfortunately. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it! Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay?
Whichever way you way to handle it! I know I find that individually wrapping things can be a pain for me, but some people enjoy doing it, so do whichever way you enjoy! I’ll be fine with whatever you decide. 😊 I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion Postcards! I really like the banned book raccoon, the murder cat, and the humbug Grinch! The murder cat cross-stitch pattern is tempting, but I’m already sooooo far behind on my cross-stitching that the patterns I already have should last me for several lifetimes. Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au Cute, but nothing really calls to me. Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Witch Baby – not part of the Halloween 2025 pages, but maybe Graveyard Smash bath bomb or half size body scrub? Or perhaps Hellhound half size body scrub? There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for?
No thanks. I don’t see myself getting a tattoo because I don’t like the idea of committing to something for life (even though it generally turns out that things turn out that way for me anyway - but I always need to at least *feel* like I'm not making a long-term commitment to anything). Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ 9/25/25 I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need.
Perhaps cookies of some sort? Peanut butter, maybe? Or possibly a sugar cookie? I'm not a baker, so I have no knowledge base, but my gluten-free vegan friend has told me before that there's almost always a way to make substitutions for gluten and animal products when you're cooking or baking, so I'd defer to your expertise for whatever baked type of cookie you think would work best. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. I wish I were the kind of person who would know how use those herbs in my pantry! I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. I always love things with bats! Either a hoop or a handkerchief would be great! Embroidered handkerchiefs are so neat. A ghost or a ghost with a small pumpkin would be another nice alternative. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? I have no idea how it would taste, but I love the name Inari's Foxes! I do like both jasmine tea and licorice tea. I love the idea of the horror inspired blends; of those, Nevermore would probably best suit my taste and make me happy because I love Poe. I also love Oscar Wilde, so I'm intrigued by the Dorian Gray, but I don't think I've ever had puer tea and unfortunately I'm not sure if I would like it. for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions.
Sorry, I don't drink coffee. 9/26/25 Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? Yes to both, although more enthusiastically on the puzzle. I love Halloween puzzles, and I'm looking forward to celebrating October by starting some new ones from my stash. I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Hard to say, just because I have an overly large Halloween decor collection myself. If you have any small vintage-looking Halloween stuff I'd probably be up for that, or something small that's bat-related. Small is the key here, as my own collection is already taking up too much space! Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden?
I'm torn on this one too. There's a stray cat that's been hanging around the neighborhood for a couple months now and he now spends most of his time on my back patio or front porch because I feed him regularly, put out some boxes for him to hide and sleep in, and have even bought him some toys. He might appreciate some organic catnip for sure. But! my ultimate goal is to get him adopted into a good home where he can live inside and be spoiled and hopefully even have another cat friend to play with. And I really need to get cracking on that, because he's a black cat and I really want him inside and safe before we get too close to Halloween, and I'm not in a position to take him in myself. Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay?
Probably not. I have too much cocoa butter based bath stuff already, more than I'll probably ever use.

I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/ This place looks sooo cute, Organic Goodnite Sweetheart - bedtime blend and Black - Organic Earl Grey. I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. I currently have a Nespresso machine original line, I have refillable pods that I fill with pre-ground medium roast espresso. I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. Socks! I prefer natural fiber if possible, open to black, grey or fall colors. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it. A corset or small stays would be a dream. I have a giant ribcage and tiny titties which makes finding one that fits me difficult. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ No thank you. What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Medium in both tops and bottoms. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? Yes, I love bats. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? This sounds like fun! I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. Yes! A little vampire journal would be amazing! Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.us/collections/halloween No thank you. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us No thank you. I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!! Late bird gets no Dragoncon. I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well. No thank you! Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? Yessss, BASTARD-AMBER DRAGON polish, and GLAUCOUS DRAGON. I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for? Nothing in particular! I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 ) No thank you! Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? This sounds awesome, yes! Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." I do have trypophobia lol, I also HATE glitter unless its biodegradable, and nothing from ALDI please. If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? To be honest I haven't read much since high school. I really like to collect classics for decorating and then listen to them as an audiobook. I do like lore books with lots of pictures lol. Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? I don't know enough about charities to know which one you can trust with your money. If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests. OOOOHHHHH, peanut butter or pumpkin pie. anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea Chai Matcha and Count Cicso's Earl Grey look good. I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? Ooooohhh, I'm pretty open but peach sure does sound nice. Poesie Tea - what would you like? poesieperfume.com London Smoke & Fog Loose Leaf Tea or Poesie Loose Leaf Tea Discovery Set. Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Ooohhh, spice mixes would be good. I cook a lot of chicken and salmon. I am good on chocolate currently! Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ Very cute but not my style. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? Yeeesssss. Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l) No thank you. Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? Baking additions would be nice! Spices or flavored sugars. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? No thank you. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy Fleur de Sel Caramels look amazing. My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? No thank you. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Lavender Vanilla Liqueur is sooo up my alley. Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Nothing specifically comes to mind. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? I have too much chocolate already. Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 Ghosts & Bats Fruit Leather Chains, Pumpkin Bread Mix, Vanilla Cardamom Cold Brew Coffee, La Colombe Pumpkin Spice
Draft Latte, Pumpkin Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream, and Bourbon Vanilla Beans all look good. Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods Very pretty stuff, but no thank you. Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? Sadly every planner I buy goes unused. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 No thank you.
Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it! Gothy clothing, or London Fog tea from London! Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay? Wrapped is more fun!
I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion Nothing jumps out at me. Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au Very cute stuff but not my style. Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean I would be interested in MoonaLisa Halloween bath and body products but it looks like the update hasn't hit yet. There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? This sounds cool but I don't get tattoos so no thank you. Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ Nothing jumps out at me but I wish add my bpal wishlist here. https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/wishlist/92E61D/ I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need. Yes, I'd appreciate anything just prefer honey and coconut sugar over monkfruit as a sweetener. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. Absolutely, I could find a use for anything but rosemary and sage would get used the most. I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. A ribbon with a bat would be wonderful, I could tie my hair up with it. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? Dorian Gray, Lavender Earl Grey, Libra all sound lovely. for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions. I am all stocked up on coffee unfortunately. Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? No thank you. I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? I have no more room for Halloween decor. Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden? Yes! So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list? I would love some BPAL weenies, especially decants of these Caramel Apple Cookie 2025 Hair Gloss, Pumpkin Brioche French Toast Hair Gloss, Pink Pumpkin Floss Lotion, Air and Sunshine Galore Home & Linen Spray, A Recurrent Spot Perfume Oil,
Autumn Overlooked my Knitting 2025 Perfume Oil, Brandied Pumpkin Perfume Oil, The Witches 2025 Perfume Oil and The Witches 2025 Perfume Oil. Adagio's Wicked Teas are back out (https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/wicked_teas.html) - any interest in any of them? No thank you! So my aunt is in the hospital after suffering a stroke this weekend ☹️ and I'll be visiting her a lot for the foreseeable future. I'll be driving past a Penzeys store each time. Is there anything you might want from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? Nothing jumps out at me.
This is Halloween answering~ 2025
I'm wanting to place an order with Paintbox Soapworks. Do you see anything you'd like? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
~Dank Granny, Phantasma,& Greyhound all look good, bar soap (!), sorbetto, or the hair/perfume oil in any would be swell. Also interested in Crystalcore & Buttercup scents. Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following? I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you?
~I don’t think I’d be too into it. A cool idea, though!
I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. ~Would be glad to get a journal! Any style sounds fun, vintage Halloween? Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ?
~Apple Milk, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Spider Silk in body butter (!), Scrub or Candle… hair oil, sure. Cozy Sweater is also of interest. Would probably enjoy Cozy Pumpkin, the more I think of it. Adding The Little Hedgehog, as I just read a favorable review. Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to? ~definitely my big four~bats, moths, snakes and cats (big or little), spiders are brilliant, love me some dragons, griffins, selkie, and have a strong curiosity of the Fae. I’m into most creatures, to be honest, and it’s always fun to be surprised by my loves or a cool new friend to commune with!
Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interested in: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion ~I don’t see anything that’s for me. As many of you know, one of my baking specialties is eclectic varieties of shortbread. I think I made pumpkin lavender shortbread for someone last year, I've done spiced orange, chocolate orange, lavender peppermint (a surprising hit that I now make annually). I could do something with rose, a wide assortment of spices, citrus rinds, etc. Anything sound interesting (as an early reveal day zero gift most likely)? ~Yum! Orange & spice sounds awesome, if a peach & cardamom is possible that’d be amazing. Honestly though, I’d enjoy any flavor.
Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one? ~Yep! Prefer soy/coconut/beewax ones, but I’ll probably use any of them. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? (I have a whole slew of things from recent sales, like gift boxes with Sleepy scented products. They are good until 2026.) ~hmm, not sure. I had a bar shampoo I liked from Lush & Would use any bath wash. Not sure if other products would be something I like, but I’m willing to try. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam?
~yesss love peaches (& berries) & jam! Do you like plushies, like Squishables? ~You know, I would normally pass, but I just looked Squishables up and saw this green dragon moth and swooned lol so cute! Yeah, any cool creature would be welcome. Plus, I have four children, they’d be happy to help take care of any plushie I receive.
Also, we named our car “Marshmallow” and I have a green bat Squishable key chain hanging from the mirror, since it is like a marshmallow animal & it’s basically Halloween season. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy ~not a huge fan of caramels, but I’m tempted to try the absinthe & black salt flavor. So interesting! My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. Technically he makes a lot of "melomel" which is mead with fruit (blackberry, huckleberry, blueberry, raspberry) and sometimes "cyser" which is a melomel made specifically from apples. Also sometimes he does "metheglin" which is mead made with spices and/or herbs -- like chocolate orange peel (made with cacao nibs from Theo Chocolates.) I keep trying to get him to make a rose or lavender vanilla bean one for me. ~ Don’t drink currently, so no alcohol. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. Roses and lavender are both from our organic garden, no spray. ~ no alcohol (through they all sound delish!) Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Local coffee, smoked salmon (vacuum sealed and shelf stable), local tea (Friday Afternoon Tea, Market Spice, etc.), local chocolate (Theo Chocolates, Maeve Chocolates, Boehm's Chocolates, Frans (also salted caramels), etc.), Huckleberry scented or flavored things, lavenderscented or flavored things (there are SO MANY lavender farms here), honey, Seattle mug/shot glass/postcard/keychain, blown glass ornament or pike place pig, spice from spiceology, Bigfoot / sasquatch related items, Dick's Drive In kitsch, grocery bag that has PNW on it, something from Pike Place Market or the Space Needle, Liberty Orchards items (like aplets and cotlets), etc. ~ oooh Salmon sounds awesome! Wouldn’t want anything that’s a tourist type trinket, but I love food and treats and herbs, so would be happy to receive something you think is delicious & want to share. Honey, tea, chocolates are big favs. I also cook lot so spices would be happily used up! Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? ~ a quick scan, Mex Hot chocolate, salted toffee crackle(!), mint (!) or Pikes Place Espresso all would be gobbled up Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like? (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.) ~love toffee, hard candies to eat as I do chores (my “get to work” bait lol), I like fudge, but recently got some that tasted like the store’s air conditioner, so a little bummed about that. Would be into some that isn’t sitting on a counter all day If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners? How about stevia? Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/. ~ no sugar free for me How many food items would be too many for yourpackage? If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc. is this a bad thing? ~ happy to recieved as much as you want. lol I so lush when it comes to food.
Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps? ~ I like to use cool cigar boxes for some storage, so another one or two of those would be great. Is there a tarot deck calling your name?
~The Astro Magician’s Taro Earth Magick Tarot Terra Volatile tarot Rosebud Tarot (I just swapped for the corresponding scent!) Yokai Tarot Folklore Oracle Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? ~Crew length, trying to transition to natural fibers, but I’ll rock what ever you send. I love pretty, cool, wild, mystical, delicate… any patterns!
Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. ~Sure! I’d probably send it on to my daughter(s), but I love getting them into cute things.
How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts? I make them from thrifted sweaters. Wearable art. Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd love to make for you.I have a trip to make cross town to pick up something. Then it'll be wrapping time! ~I’m open to it. Doesn’t stay cold here long, but I’m hoping we’ll travel more in the future to some snowy places. And in any case, they’ll get used for a little while every year. Colors…. Autumn-ish colors (golds, reds, oranges, browns), dark greens and purples…. I like any colors, though, so whatever looks real cool is good with me!
Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden? ~yep!
SW25
basic witch, october road, and once bitten sound interesting, in soap or just soap ends
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
some of the botanical and other patterned crew socks are really cute. I mostly wear ankle or crew socks since I have huge calves and mostly wear long pants when I wear socks so higher ones are wasted on me. I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)
Oh my, I could get lost in there for a long time. A lot of their stuff sounds amazing. In general I like plain black, green, or oolong teas, herbals, and floral or fruit flavors in tea, including earl grey and variations on that theme. I'm not fond of rooibos, and I don't care for licorice root/stevia/etc. in teas because the sweet aftertaste comes across weird to me.
Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
Nothing in the weenies is actually calling to me this time, though I do love their stuff. Favorite things from there are soaps and scrubs, I use the citrusy Bookkeeper's Butter, and the Nihilist lotion for my hands at work. I like their clean and woodsy scents, like GTFO, Hiraeth, Gooseberry Beach. I'd like to try the African black soap putty at some point.
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
They sound amazing, but I am really not a gourmand-scent person unfortunately and most of their offerings are very much in that vein. Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
Not a pastel person. I like my deep earth tones, thank you. 😃
I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?
As someone who has been a recipient of some of these goodies in the past, I love this kind of thing. Mittens or armwarmers would be lovely, bowl-shaped things are also always useful here.
do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
I do, will update it and then include here.
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
I don't. Most of my seasonal decorating is more fall-theme than halloween.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
woefully out of date but it shows some of my tastes in things
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
I ordered the couple things that caught my eye, so no worries there. I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.
These always sound amazing, but as I am seriously looking at chopping most of my hair in the not-too-distant future, probably not a thing.
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
n/a
Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).
oooo...I love this idea. I love nature, and magical/fantasy natural art...I dunno what the genre actually is called but artists like Aria Fawn and Brian Serway are examples I love. I'm open on style, I love photography and realistic drawing/painting, abstracts, Japanese ink painting. If you are an artist and have a particular style, I would love to see it, 3-d mediums like a little clay sculpture or something would also be awesome. Don't really have size restrictions, nudity's fine, I would just say nothing gory/overly violent would be my only restriction.
Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!!
already got, so I'm good there
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?
I love Japanese snacks, stationery, maybe a cookbook or a crochet book.
I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
I think this is fantastic, and also, how freaking cool.
I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc.
Those are so frickin' cool! Witch, if this is a you thing let me know and I will come up with details.
Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option.
OK, I would probably wear most of the site (I love quirky T's, have a couple from Effin' Birds, currently wearing a Gozilla/The Great Wave mashup)
size men's xl classic t, for colors generally dark heather, navy, dark chocolate, forest green are all good options
chaotic neutral: https://www.snorgtees.com/products/chaotic-neutral-mens-classic-tee?variant=41540186013828

BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!
n/a, I'm kinda wandering away from femme fashion at present
I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?
would love this, and anything, but a fall-esque color scheme would be neat Feelings on candles/wax melts?
I like them but don't use a lot, tend to go for more 'natural' smells like pine, citrus, etc when I do since the beloved is really smell-sensitive
Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
love the idea, any colors other than pastels or day-glo
Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer.
can't think of anything? I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/
surprise me? tea tastes answered in previous question
I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.
medium to medium-dark roast beans would be lovely. gotta think on the fandom stuff--moon patrol, pitfall, bubble bobble, final fantasy (yes, the really old ones), was more of a pinball arcade person...cartoons, wow, I dunno, we watched the same stuff as the rest of the late gen-x crowd I imagine...he-man, voltron, gummi bears, she-ra...I don't know that I had a particular fandom in that regard, still have a soft spot for the original my little ponies.
I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies.
Anything handmade would be loved and appreciated! Any of the above would be lovely, whatever you felt like making at the time, and I'm good with any fibers including synthetics if that's your preference to work with, no allergies and as long as it's soft to the touch I'm happy.
I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it.
I wouldn't have a clue, a masculine style vest maybe? IF this is relevant to witch plans I can come up with more detail.
Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/
That is amazing. I like quiet fidgets (apparently I'm twitchy enough at work that my boss noticed and gave me a couple pieces of magnetite that she got somewhere, oops? I like the future is inclusive and supercallawhatsit pins or stickers, adhdeez nuts or overthinking stickers.
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
Really depends on the brand/style. If I'm getting like teepublic silly shirts a men's/unisex XL, I can do women's xxl as well. Pajamas XL, maybe men's large bottome if they're baggy
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
I think they're cute but I'm not a super halloweeny person, and my socks are generally invisible under long jeans.
I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee?
That sounds really neat.
I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion.
a folio sounds neat! I have a hard time keeping my (*$#&@ together with my stationery
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.us/collections/halloween
I love their tights but I'm good right now
Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us
never really got into lush, someone gave me a rose scented lotion of some kind a while back that was nice but I can't even remember the name of the scent
I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order!

n/a
I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for?
I love that store, we got one here recently. Mostly I go for the plant pots of all things, snacks, and I love all the tiny kitchen stuff.
I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 )
no thank you
Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.?
I would love something like that, I really love anything handmade since it's so much fun to see other people's creativity.
Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia."
can't think of anything?
If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?
I'm pretty clear on my q'aire how my taste in literature goes. political machinations of any era, gratuitous horror, animal violence, avoid those kind of things please.
Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
something local to your or to me, I like knowing things go to help a community. the stuff I support around here are noco wildlife which does rescue and advocacy for wild critters in my area, the food bank, homeward alliance which is resources for those facing or at risk of homelessness here, planned parenthood, a local public radio station which also does a lot of community advocacy, other animal rescue, mujeres de colores which does backpack drives and holiday gifts and winter gear for those in need...you get the idea.
If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests.
penuche or anything with cherries
anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea
I love the names, and would be interested within my general tea preferences. I clicked on Arcanists Desire just for the petals color and that sounds lovely.
I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet?
I am equal opportunity. Love peach, rhubarb (we grow it and make a lot of simple stewed rhubarb). We do make our own bread and butter-ish tomato relish, but otherwise I'm open. Sweet/spicy/both...all good.
Poesie Tea - what would you like? poesieperfume.com Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate ?
always down for spice blends, all chocolate is good and will be shared around, stuff like postcards or little souvenirish stuff
Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/
no thank you
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam?
sure
Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l)
really neat but not something I would wear
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?
need, probably not, enjoy, sure
Do you like plushies, like Squishables?
love them, squishables are adorable (I have the snow cat, snow wolf, and wolf minis on my couch, a micro trex on my desk at work, and a micro plague doctor that comes out later this year) Do I technically need more? prolly not. if there's one you are dying to send me, I would love it even if I don't really need anymore.
Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy
the balsamic berry and whiskey smoked salt sound interesting (and since I make caramels I might have to mad scientist now, lol)
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?
sure
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?
pretty sure I've been lucky enough to try the rose and it's lovely, the lavender sounds interesting too
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?
not sure? one of my favorite coffees ever comes from up there but I'd have to go look at the bag, I know they're only available locally and don't ship. I like local art/postcard type stuff
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?
I am absolutely fine with imperfect anything. I'm good with any color of chocolate, for stuff in it, fruits, toffee, some nuts, plain, chile to an extent. Not a huge fan of peanut butter, mint, lots of spices, or like throw everything into one bar kinda stuff.

9/2 I'm wanting to place an order with Paintbox Soapworks. Do you see anything you'd like? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Yhe sugar scrubs sound interesting, especially the Granny Dank and Pumpkin Daddy Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following? I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you? I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion.
Those sound really pretty but I don’t think they’re get the love they deserve here 9/4 Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ? The sugar scrubs here sound interesting as well. Top scents would be Cozy Pumpkin, Olde Cider Haus, Pumpkin Eater, Pumpkin Queen, and possibly Kitchen Witch Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to? Cats, bats, corvids, possums and trash pandas Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interestedin: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion I think I already have all of the Hallion things I want/need As many of you know, one of my baking specialties is eclectic varieties of shortbread. I think I made pumpkin lavender shortbread for someone last year, I've done spiced orange, chocolate orange, lavender peppermint (a surprising hit that I now make annually). I could do something with rose, a wide assortment of spices, citrus rinds, etc. Anything sound interesting (as an early reveal day zero gift most likely)? Shortbread has never been one of my favorites, but also maybe I’ve just never had the good, homemade stuff? Either of the oranges or spiced sounds intriguing, as does pumpkin minus the lavender. Definitely not rose though, unless it’s still on the bush or freshly cut it’s a death note/flavor for me.
Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one? I have several delicious smelling candles but I rarely burn them, I usually just open the tin/jar and let is scent the air. But I love them, burning or not. Absolutely! Is there anything you'd like from Lush? (I have a whole slew of things from recent sales, like gift boxes with Sleepy scented products. They are good until 2026.) I’ve never tried anything from Lush. I don’t really use any overly scented products because I don’t want them to detract from/overpower my BPALs. If it’s something that doesn’t really stick around like a sugar scrub sure, but things like bath bombs or lotions won’t really get used. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam? Sure! I can be a bit on the picky side, but even if it’s not my cup of tea I know my husband will enjoy it. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I’ve never gotten one but I have heard that they’re good for sleeping when you have a frozen shoulder, which unfortunately I do have. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy The espresso ones sound incredible. My absolute favorite caramels are from a place about an hour from me. They’re called Hellfire caramels and they’re coated in dark chocolate and then topped with sea salt and cayenne 🤤 My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. Technically he makes a lot of "melomel" which is mead with fruit (blackberry, huckleberry, blueberry, raspberry) and sometimes "cyser" which is a melomel made specifically from apples. Also sometimes he does "metheglin" which is mead made with spices and/or herbs -- like chocolate orange peel (made with cacao nibs from Theo Chocolates.) I keep trying to get him to make a rose or lavender vanilla bean one for me.
The past few years mead has been growing on me and I would love to try any of those, except if he attempts rose. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. Roses and lavender are both from our organic garden, no spray.
the lavender vanilla sounds interesting, the rose is a hard no Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Local coffee, smoked salmon (vacuum sealed and shelf stable), local tea (Friday Afternoon Tea, Market Spice, etc.), local chocolate (Theo Chocolates, Maeve Chocolates, Boehm's Chocolates, Frans (also salted caramels), etc.), Huckleberry scented or flavored things, lavender scented or flavored things (there are SO MANY lavender farms here), honey, Seattle mug/shot glass/postcard/keychain, blown glass ornament or pike place pig, spice from spiceology, Bigfoot / sasquatch related items, Dick's Drive In kitsch, grocery bag that has PNW on it, something from Pike Place Market or the Space Needle, Liberty Orchards items (like aplets and cotlets), etc. I go up to WA once a year and would love something from there! Friday Afternoon is one place I always stop, and I made it to Pike Place once. My favorite coffee is from Sequim but I know that’s a bit away Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?
Absolutely! Pumpkin Spice Chai, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Coconut Island, Pike Place Espresso, and Salted Toffee Crackle all sound delicious Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like? (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.) Almond/walnut clusters and English toffee are my favorites If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners? How about stevia? Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/.
not really a fan of sugar free, although my A1C says I should get acquainted How many food items would be too many for your package? If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc. is this a bad thing? Definitely not a bad thing! My house is stuffed to the gills with things, so consumables would be a great way to not add to the collection
Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps? I just overfilled my bottle storage cabinet with my last purchase but I set that as my limit so I actually have to destash a few. Having more storage would just get me into trouble Is there a tarot deck calling your name? No thanks, tarot doesn’t really interest me Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? I really only wear the Hanes ankle socks that come in the big bag. I love the idea of the more fun socks but it’s a sensory thing for me. Not enough padding.
Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. No thank you I'm one of those maker people. How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts? I make them from thrifted sweaters. Wearable art. Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd love to make for you. Sure! Darker colors preferred, black grey or jewel tones. Or rainbow! Pretty much anything other than pastels.

I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.

Would love 2, and with black silver shades of dark jewel blues, greens, purple,, sparkley Do you have use for witchy supplies?

If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? No thank you, I only keep real flowers in my vases when I can afford them. Feelings on candles/wax melts? Yes to candles and incense (but no cheap punk incense sticks) Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? This sounds interesting! I love all the shades of the deep forest,, or a sunny meadow, or starry night, or coastal beachside Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. I would love a small tazmanian devil figure or stuffie. or pendant.

I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/: OMG! This looks fantastic! There are so many things! The gyroscope spinner, dual color clicky fidget slider, mesh and marble fidget, curved chew necklace and fliparoo cootie fidget. What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Usually a large, but tanks or sleeveless only please Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? No thank you. I stick to socks made from animal fibers or I overheat or have sensory issues. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entrepreneurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? That sounds Really interesting! I would enjoy reading it. I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. That sounds interesting. I journal every night, but I prefer a size B5. Something for organizing my sticker sheets could be cool. I am also getting a fountain pen, so something to practice my writing in would be appreciated. Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.com/collections/halloween I have been wanting to try their tights for a long time. I am a size F by their chart. Styles I’d like: hallow-queen, fright night, salem, octurne, hallow-queen purple haze and crimson shadow. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us Bath bombs: the pumpkin tealight, the magician, punkin pumpkin, pumpkin crumble, skeleton, narcotick, Bubble bars: Pumpkin spice, skeleton, bewitched, Soap: Demon in the dark or Palm reader naked hand lotion I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!! Well, I am getting to this a day late, but here is a compilation of my answers from above and below: claw polishes- caput mortuum or glaucous. Dragons- caput mortuum, melichrous, sang-de-beouf, glacous dragon!, Coquelicot Dragon, Gamboge dragon! Weenies- October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse, I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well. I’m not a particularly Disney person, but there are some characters and IPs I enjoy like Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Nightmare Before Christmas and a few others. Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? Caput mortuum dragon or glaucous I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for? Fun washi tape, silicone tea cup covers, washi tape cutters and storage, a gongfu tray I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182) manor musk, underworld musk, Red Pine Amber Incense!, red sandalwood amber incense, Free These Spirits, Sandalwood Incense Honey, Lamia’s Honey Black Tea, Velvet blood honey tea, spellbound (I think vanilla blossom is different than vanilla?) Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? that sounds fun Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." I am moving to The Nederlands next year so nothing bulky or impractical to take with me please. If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? Nothing with scenes of rape or incest. Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests. If you could do it gluten and dairy free the pumpkin pie fudge or chocolate and cherry would be my picks or chocolate and almond butter.
anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea
a quiet respite, arcanists desire, autumnal fae, awaken, birdsong, Bartender’s Truth, black tea hearts, celtic bear, celtic dragonfly, city of marrow, come to the labyrinth, dark pearl oolong!!,
I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? I love all of these. I would enjoy a spicy peach bbq sauce (see my allergen list), spicy thick tomato sauce, peach and rhubarb preserves or whatever.
Poesie Tea - what would you like? poesieperfume.com
Queen of the Dead, Amaterasu, Enchanted Forest, Velvet Moon, Dragonside Tavern, Teas: cozy chestnut tea!, Relevé, Pink Moon, palace chai, L'hiver Dégagé!, or Fearless!
Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? With my ingredient issues, I would be hesitant with some items, but I trust you to verify. I strongly prefer dairy free dark chocolate.
Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ the bad luck charm earrings are cute as are some of the other earrings.
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? Sure thing
Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l) I think I am a s/m in zox.
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? I can always use more embroidery hoops, especially in the 4-6” size range. More linen on which to embroider would also be nice and maybe a new needle minder, needler threader, or these fancy nickel free needles I found. https://www.snugglymonkey.com/products/hypoallergenic-nickel-free-crewel-embroidery-needles
Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I love stuffies. I prefer things like Jelly Cat or Plushy Dreadful over the Squishmallow types. I would like to try out a weighted one.
Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/
Sadly none of these are dairy free because I love caramel
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Yes, but not the one with bananas
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Jamie would love more for sure. I am not sure what alcohol your mom uses for extraction, so I am not sure if its safe for me.
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? I’m good .
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?
I had no idea they had changed names. I don’t think they do any dairy free varieties? Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 we have TJs here Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? I journal and I could use a new one. I have been wanting to try out something like Hemlock and Oak or Archer and Olive. I prefer a size B5 with lines, but I’m also interested in trying the Archer and Olive 8x8 size. I can always use washi tape and stickers, see https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com or https://yosekastationery.com/ for examples of what I like. I am also awaiting my first fountain pen, so fun ink could be cool. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 I like the moonlit bats pocket legging. I am between sizes so I trust your judgement on that. Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it! tea, marmalade, single payer healthcare Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay? I don't have a strong preference I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion I had not seen her work before. I love the stickers: progressive witch (blue), less outrage more action, I read banned books, No Kings, cause problems on purpose, orca-nize, only ghost stories, woke witch (blue), or coloring books/pages Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au what cute stuff! I love the Halloween vampire cat, midnight coffin Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Moona- seance parlor oil sounds amazing; WitchBaby- ghost girl: bath bomb, body butter, soap; spider baby: oil, bath bomb, soap, or spiderweb jasper. There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? hmmm..... I will look around and get back to you Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ myrrh and black berries, Les Feuilles de Patchouli Hair Gloss, on talking, Stilleven Met Bijbel, Strangled on Midsummer’s Eve, The Abandonment of the Unicorn,
Switch witch condiments
I’m a black tee for everything wearer, and a women’s classic 3XL Bloom Chic - there’s some really cute stuff there, but I struggle wearing things that aren’t natural fibre, so I will need to pass on them. I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? That would be lovely but I fear my cats would find anything like entirely too tempting. * Feelings on candles/wax melts? I have more candles than I have space for right now. I’m also currently without a melt warmer. * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? It sounds lovely, but I’m living in a rental right now, so hanging things is not really possible.
My Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com.au/hz/wishlist/ls/234E0RFHVVYYQ?ref_=wl_share My Etsy list https://www.etsy.com/au/people/maikastar?ref=hp_recently_favorited_sm&tab=items I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. That sounds amazing! I don’t really drink decaf, but a good medium roast sounds blissful, as does something flavoured perhaps. Whole bean please! And for a 70s-80s fandom, Dr Who all the way.
I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it.
I would adore a mermaid skirt. I had one made for me a very long time ago, and it’s very sadly worn out beyond repair, and the person I commissioned it from no longer sews. It’s the one thing I no longer have that I continue to miss. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ This, I think, might just be the most perfect fidget ever! https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/collections/sophisticated-fidgets/products/bike-chain-gear-spinner What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Tshirts depend on the cut. In a men’s cut, an XL/2XL. Normally a 3X for a women’s cut.
Pyjamas, likely the same. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I love Halloween socks!
I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? Of course it would be in your last box, so I don't give my identity away.... That sounds intriguing. Thank you! I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? I’m terrible at having journals, and never using them because they’re too pretty to use. A folio sounds lovely too, but I’ve already got a set up that works for me. So thank you, but no on both counts.
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines.
Is there anything there that tempts you? I’m a size F over there and there are a few things I really love. Especially the Catacomb Mesh Top, the Hell Bent tights, and the Weaver tights, Is there anything you'd like from Lush?
I adore Lord of Misrule from Lush. The Palm Reader solid hand cream looks lovely too.
I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well.
Anything Nightmare Before Christmas or Haunted Mansion would be brilliant I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for? Daiso is brilliant, and I don’t have one near me. I’m a huge fan of all the snacks, and also the little craft kits they have.
*Would you be interested in a handwritten book, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? That sounds delightful, thank you *Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." Now that you mention it, I am not a plush unicorn fan at all. My plush love is more bats and plague doctors 😂 Theres not really anything I can’t think of not wanting. *If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? I can’t see myself reaching for a straight out romance novel, or a Western. And no Gaiman or Rowling please.
Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? Anything that helps the people of Gaza. Alternatively, anything pro choice, eg to a fund that helps women access abortion if needed etc. Greenwoodtree’s fudge sounds amazing, but no. Customs would likely not let it through, so it would be wasted.
It seems i'm not the only tea lover in the group. anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? Curiouser and Curioser, Black Cats and Pointy Hats, Almond Twilight, A Deck of Cards, Come to the Labyrinth, and Fairy Godmothers all sound amazing.
I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some?
I wish I could say yes, but I’m afraid that Customs would likely take a dim view of them, and they wouldn’t be allowed into the country.
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? I would love, but it’s not a good idea. Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l) I do like bracelets. Soft stretchy ones are great, I would probably need a large. Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? I always need yarn, but I’m also forever needing things like stitch holders and row markers. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I do! Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy They all sound amazing. My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?
I would love to try some, alcohol seems to be easier to ship than unprocessed things. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? They both sound glorious. Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Nothing I can think of. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? I can’t choose! Any one of those would be more than welcome
There’s no Trader Joe’s in the same hemisphere as me, so I’m more than a little envious of the options you’re showing. The teeny tiny pretzels look intriguing. As do the Jo-Jo’s. The petite pumpkin spice cookies and the apple shortbread cookies also sound good.
Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? The autumn kitty earrings are very much my thing.
Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? I’m not a planner person Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay?
I’m going to be thrilled however they arrive. So if you enjoy wrapping then absolutely wrap. If not, I’m still getting all the surprise opening the box.
Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean – MooScents There’s nothing there that really calls to me Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? I think I might be very tempted by it. Black Butterfly Moon, and also the Vanilla and Tobacco Flower oils sound especially beautiful.
Witchee, would you be interested in a kit to make something yourself? Like a kit to dye your own scarf, or make beeswax candles, or make a small embroidered ornament, etc.? Would you like to receive such a kit, or do you not have the time/inclination for it? I would enjoy that a lot. I love to knit, and I also sometimes do cross stitch, but I’m open to trying other things too.
New questions: I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need. Home baked things are lovely, but I doubt Customs would let them through. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. Customs would absolutely not allow herbs through, sadly. I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. Bats on a handkerchief sounds like a lot of fun. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? Raise the Dead, Witches Brew, Proof of Life, and IV: For Fidelity all sound amazing. for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions. Whole bean, please. Light or medium roast. Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? The playing cards could be fun, definitely. I’m not a jigsaw person though. I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Something small and batty could be awesome. Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden? While I’m sure my two cats would adore some, I think Customs would take offence at it, I’m afraid. Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay? I love using just cocoa butter as a moisturiser, but it’s likely to be a problem with Customs. So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list? Batty Lace, Batty Snake Oil, Porcelain Bat, Snooty Bat 2025, Black Lipstick 2025, Black Velvet and Red Lamé, In Night When Colors all to Black are Cast, Dead Leaves and Skin Musk, Interminable Grotesques, and The Woman Behind It all sound intriguing. So a sample of any one of them would be lovely.
SW 2025 Answers
Most of those are pretty foody, but maybe Violet Moon? 7. Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?
My wishlist is VERY out of date and I apologize immensely. I’m a simple child really, though. Leather, amber, incense, saffron, dragonsblood, resins, paper, maybe some smoke. Anything that’s mostly in that range I will probably try as long as it doesn’t have apple or chocolate. Specifically for the weenies, probably In Night When Colors, Dark Macademia, Skeleton Flash and MAYBE Headless Hearseman attracted my attention. 8. How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
I’m not usually much into pastel, usually more jewel tones or cool colors 9. I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?
I’m allergic to wool so I avoid fiberart in general so I’m not super aware of the options tbh… 10. Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Not currently, but I’ve been working on my StoryGraph! https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/coltostallion 11. Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
I do not 12. Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
Not currently, I used to be on there a lot but it’s gotten so full of dropship things that I stopped T_T 13. As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
The peach scents didn’t interest me, but the Caput Mortuum Dragon, Melichrous Dragon, Puce Dragon, Glaucous Dragon, and Gamboge Dragon interested me.
14. I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.
No thank you 15. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
Not really, I’ve always kind of wanted to sage smudge things but idk why 16. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).
Physical maybe not, not a lot of space, digital my current boys are Dante and Yakumo from Nucarnival, Zack from FFVII, and Wen Ning from MDZS 17. Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. I’m a simple child who still loves snarky tees so… quite a few… top 3… hmmm. Maybe Don’t Panic, It’s not Hoarding if its Books and The Horrors Persist But So Do I? I assume I’m M or L 18. BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! Maybe the Laser Cut Halloween Halloween Contrast Lined Blouse, Pumpkin Embroidered Hem Solid T-Shirt, or Rayon Halloween Print Neck Tie-Up Blouse. They all seem stretchy so 10/M should be good? I’m right on the line for that size 19. I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?
No thank you 20. Feelings on candles/wax melts?
Don’t really use them 21. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
I don’t have room on my walls 22. Australian Things
Timtams always welcome
23. Coffee
I don't drink coffee
24. Knits
Always open to socks
25. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it.
This is a tough one, tbh. There's a lot but it's also hard for me to super pin down something because I am indecisive as hell... I will try and think on it a bit more T_T
26. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I
Not really
27. What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
For the US, usually S/M I think? In Japan and China I'm usually XL so I forget sometimes
28. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
Sure! More spooky than cute generally?
29. Flower Letters-Lily Clara series.
Sounds very interesting, but not for me
30. junk journals and paper crafts
I'm not entirely sure what a junk journal is, but maybe no?
31. Snag tights
I'm not much of a tights person, leggings or socks are fine, but not tights
32. Lush
I think most of the stuff is the same as JP, but I LOVE Lord of Misrule all the things
33. Dragoncon
I think I answered above mostly
34. Disneyland
Not a disney person
35. Claw Polish
I don't really use nail polish
36. Daiso
All good 37. Nocturne Alchemy
Telemachus sounds nice but that's limited... of the others Red Sandalwood Amber Incense and Dracula Rouge for sure, maybe Free These Spirits and 31 Bats Mr. Nevermore, New Moon sounds possible but not sure about the sugar 38. Handwritten Journal
I'm not sure actually... I guess it's hard for me to imagine what this is??
39. DO NOT WANT
I'm fairly open. I have no compunctions about regifting, so if that's an issue, I guess let me know? In general I would say I do prefer things with use just because my apartment is so small. I did just get a new carry-on suitcase so that needs to be covered with stickers to help me identify it. I'm trying to find ones of rats, dragons, and snarky sayings. 40. Physical books
I don't read het romance generally 41. Charity
I don't have any specific names, but I'd love a donation and you can tell me why you chose them 42. If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests.
Of the flavores mentioned I guess plain chocolate without nuts. I especially like dark chocolate. 43. Dryad teas
I'm good on tea
44. Canning
Def not legal to ship here 45. Poesie tea
Good on tea!
46. Australian things p.2
I don't really cook and I was in Australia last summer so I got a lot of my Australian yearnings out then tbh I can't think of anything specific. I do like chocolate, specifically dark but not the like... 90% dark stuff that's just evil! Not a fan of white choco either, but milk/dark especially with caramel is always good 47. Erstwilder
The style is cute, but nothing particularly calls to me
48. Peach Jam
No thanks, can't be shipped here
49. Bracelets
I don't really wear them
50. Hobby Supplies
Always welcome. I do such a bizarre range of things is hard to say specifically. Metallic decoration bits for my ita ribbons that AREN'T floral/butterflies/mandala type things are the hardest to keep up with. They are character specific things, though, so I usually just have to buy grab bags and end up with MORE floral/butterfly things
51. Plushies
I do like them but I really don't have room for more
52. Caramels
Love caramels. Not sure about boozy or fruity flavors with caramel tbh... but just from the pic on the site cinnamon or ginger would both go well with caramel I think. Salted caramel is classic for a reason as well.
53. Mead
Def not shippable here
54. Liquer
I imagine not shippable. Curious about what lavender vanilla would taste like though lol
55. Pacific NW/Seattle
I honestly can't think of anything? I don't think I'm familiar enough with the area to know what would count tbh
56. Maeve Chocolates
Chocolate always nom. Pumpkin spice chai sounds fun. I LOVE pumpkin spice flavor (I hate pumpkin but I love cinnamom/nutmeg/etc. lol). Salted toffe and smores also sound good. The honey nutty ohs would be good without the almond and the nutbutter pretzel without the hazelnut butter XDD I'm a picky thing, I know 57. Trader Joe's
I'm a fan of all things pumpkin spice tbh, so probably a lot... let's see specifically. Maybe the petite pumpkin spice cookies or whatever "this pumpkin walks into a bar" is? Cinnamon roll blondie bar mix sounds magical.... Maple Pancake flavored Puffs and fall leaf tortilla chips sounds hysterical, but not a great use of shipping space lol. Lots of fresh stuff I would devour *sigh*
58. Planners
I just use a very simple planner that I usually just get from the dollar store since I need it to be thin enough to fit in my purse 59. Leggings
I don't often wear leggings, but leggings with POCKETS... now that might be a thing! The moonlit bats or spellbound capris are both super cute
60. London Stuff
I love Ribena but it's very heavy XDD Do they make a powdered version? They should.
61. Wrapping
I am good with ANYTHING~ I will love whatever you do ❤️
62. Khallion Shop
The cause problems on purpose sticker made me laugh. I also love the orca-nize sticker or any of the protest type ones. Would happily put on my suitcase.
63. Atelier Coco
Some very cute stuff like the Midnight Coffin stuff. I don't wear a lot of jewelry but a brooch I could def pin to things!
64. Witch Baby Soap
Maybe anything spider baby?
65. Moonalisa
Still summer? Sad! Honestly anything with my main notes
66. Tattoo stuff
No tats for me
67. Sep Lunacy
Definitely Stilleven Met Bijebel and The Burning LIght and was curious about A Dance to the Music of Time, and maybe On Talking (not sure about the tea) 68. Baked goods
Honestly not sure how well they would travel, though I'm always up for some cookies chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, etc~
69. Herbs
Would not be welcomed by customs lol
70. Embroidery patterns
I love all things halloweeny~ bats are definitely a fav, spiders and pumpkins and spoops in general~
71. Halloween puzzles
No thanks
72. Decorations
Probably but hard to say I shouldn't really...

If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! website is bloomchic.com Nothing jumps out! I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Sure thing, me! I like purples and oranges together, maybe something autumnal. Feelings on candles/wax melts? No thank you to candles; wax melts are okay! Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Sure! Australian goodies: Tim Tams!!! I am not hip to Australian stuff otherwise but I always like little knick knacks from other places. I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms: Love coffee, and medium or espresso grind works well (I have a drip machine and an espresso machine) -- no decaf, and I like light to medium roasts. Hand-knit socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders? I would love! Especially socks or a cowl. I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? Oh gosh... probably a flowy handkerchief hem skirt/dress. I had one when I was a teen and have been getting nostalgic with all the clothes from my middle and high-school years roaring back into stores at the moment. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neurodivergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? I don't use them, but that looks like a really neat store and the dumpster fire patch made me cackle! Ren Fest schtuff: Nothing I can think of... I enjoy medieval weaponry and depictions thereof, if there are any silly earrings or keychains along those lines. Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? Not particularly, no! What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Small/2 for both! Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? Anything with black cats is always welcome. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? Of course it would be in your last box, so I don't give my identity away.... Would love that, it sounds amazing! I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. A folio (I too like vintage style things) actually sounds amazing -- I have a lot of journals and notebooks I've yet to touch, so I think I'm pretty good there! Is there anything you'd like from Lush? Breath of God or Lust solid perfume. Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia."
I definitely do not need knitting needles or crochet hooks, after a recent inventory-taking! If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? Romance is not my bag, nor is self-help stuff. Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? This is such a lovely idea! I generally enjoy supporting charities that protect wildlife, bodily autonomy, and digital privacy. If there's one that's very close to your heart I'd be honored, too. If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool: I had to search up Penuche but THAT. It all sounds pretty lovely. I'm not the biggest candy person anymore, but I do love fudge in moderation. I just don't like dark chocolate, and have an Unfortunate Banana Allergy. Special orders? Maybe something with honey and white chocolate.... anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea Yes, a lot of it! A World of My Own Counterspell Elven Mist Druid's Dream Ghost in the Machine Kitsune's Favor I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? No thank you! We get quite the haul from our neighbors each year. Poesie Tea - what would you like? website is poesieperfume.com (wooo their website font is pretty) Chestnut, London Smoke and Fog, Olympus, and Relevé all sound great! Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Noooo vegemite -- someone once tricked me into trying it and I am still scarred!! Spice blends or snacks, absolutely. I don't like dark chocolate but am fine with milk or white. Erstwilder? Okay, these are all very up my alley!!! Especially the hair clips ❤️ Absolutely love the owl and possum, and any of the insects. I probably wouldn't wear the super Halloween themed stuff. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? No thanks! Our neighbors have a peach tree which has frankly gone insane this year so we are peached out. Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l) No thank you! I do like bracelets, but wouldn't wear these. (I have two small chain 'forever' bracelets I don't take off, and I don't usually wear others.) Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? OOH Buttons!! I have a couple of sweaters and cardigans planned that I could really use nice buttons or toggles for -- I do like vintage buttons if you find any kicking around a thrift store. Nothing too teeny tiny. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I don't, but my children sure do! Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy I do love caramels! My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Absolutely! We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Also yes! Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? We could use some rain. (But seriously, I always enjoy coffee, and fridge magnets from different places) Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars Moon Rocks or NutterButter Pretzel look delicious! Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 I've got one not too far away so I will pass (but also, thank you for the heads up on FALL STUFF DROPPING!) Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods Not really my style, no thank you! Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? I wish I was a planner person. I want to be a planner person. I have acquired planner supplies and yet I have so many bullet journals with only one page filled out sneering at me on my bookshelf. So I will pass, knowing that I cannot be trusted. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 Cute, I could go for a pair of flared leggings in general for sure, though I don't love these prints -- I think the moons and bats is the only one that I'd go for! Anything from: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion or anything from https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au: No thank you! Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap The tumbled spiderweb jasper is beautiful! Any of the scrubs sound nice, too. Moonalisa: Nothing jumps out! Tattoo passes: I don't see myself getting any more soon, so not for me, but this is a neat idea! https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla and Tobacco Flower Perfume Oil or Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla-Infused Frankincense and Raspberry Perfume Oil sound amazing! Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it! AHH a Union Jack anything, a Cadbury Wispa bar, or orange marmalade ❤️ Witchee, would you be interested in a kit to make something yourself? Like a kit to dye your own scarf, or make beeswax candles, or make a small embroidered ornament, etc.? Would you like to receive such a kit, or do you not have the time/inclination for it? I have so many kits! I think anything that's low-mess is fine, though (an embroidered ornament sounds lovely, for instance; I probably wouldn't use a dye or wax kit for a long time since I have tiny goblins who are always up in my business.) I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need. Cookies would be okay -- I'm a little sensitive to food expiration stuff, so anything that keeps well (candy/harder cookies) is okay if marked with the date they were made. I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask. Any of these except fennel sound lovely. I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. Love flowers/leaves/little spiders!! and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? Good Queen Mallow, Tulsi di Leche, Caramel Apple, Warm Heart for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions. Light or medium roast, ground (regular or espresso works). Otherwise I'm happy to try new stuff and absolutely love coffee. Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? No thank you I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Any garland-y things would be welcome! Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden? No thank you! They get a little too wild with it, and then we have to keep them separate from the kids until they chill out, so we're abstaining until everyone can handle themselves a little better, lol. Bentonite / cocoa butter? For sure! I use powdered bentonite and kaolin every month or so for a mask. Weenies? Dead leaves and skin musk Autumn Overlooked my Knitting Batty Lace
