Switch Witch 2025 Questions and Answers
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
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.

2025 My Answers to Switch Witch Questions!
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
Candles or Soap: Black #1, Once Bitten, Spooky Season, Sanderson Spice, Lavender Pumpkin
Also/Or (not Halloween): Sex Machine, Hunter's Moon, Midnight Rider, Lavender Fields
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
I have huge feet (12 US women) and plus size calves (ice skating + horseback riding) so most socks really aren't my thing. That being said, in the Plus Size section I like:
Moon Phases crew and Just a Phase crew
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/)
Now we're talking!!! I love loose leaf tea, mostly black but I do like a few tissanes (mostly ones with licorice root or perhaps hibiscus.) I love rose, lavender, anise/fennel/licorice, vanilla, butterscotch, peach, honey, jasmine...
I do not like coffee in my tea, nor do I like rooibos, honeybush, mate, or puer eh. Or chamomile.
If you could find me a tea that is black with apples and fennel, I would be so happy! There was one from August tea called Dots and Loops with that mix and it was soooo good. Now discontinued of course.
I still have some live Mariage Freres links on my amazon beverages list but all of the Damman links were dead.
From Damman what catches my eye so far:
Black flavored:
Pink (black tea & rose)
Bourbon (black tea, vanilla, caramel)
Nosy Bey (black tea, vanilla, peach)
Licorice!!! (black tea, licorice)
Caramel (black tea, caramel, chocolate)
Vineyard Peach (black tea, peach)
Violet (black tea, violet)
Spice Flakes (black tea, orange, gingerbread)
Christmas in Provence (black tea, honey, fig, strawberry)
Smokey Black: (just one smokey, lol)
Smokey Lapsang
Smokey Tarry
Smokey Crocodile
Fujisan Souchong
Sakura Souchong
Souchong Malt
Oolong:
Milk Oolong Original (oolong, cream)
Herbal:
Fennel Mint
Mint Licorice
Cocoa:
Cocoa Spices
Cocoa Orange
Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
Fairytale Bath Struesel, The Grey Hound wax melts.
From "Season of the Witch": Black Sun bath streusel
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you?
scents: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs
mediums: fall soy wax tarts, candles, refresher spray, sugar exfoliants
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!!

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.
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.

🧙♀️Switch Witch 2025 Answers 🔮
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
I'm loyal to Paintbox Soapworks lol.
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
YES! Pointelle Scrunch Top Knee Socks in grey, Knockout Bouquet Bamboo Crew in ivory/black.
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/)
Oohhh, a lot looks good, especially the earl grey. I love black teas, matcha, and lavender sleepytime blends. Looseleaf preferably, I'm trying to not add anymore microplastics to my brain.
Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
I love their sugar scrubs and I'm always in need of some. Jack Of The Woods, Fairytale and Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground.
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Nothing is jumping out at me.
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?
I'm mostly looking forward to the BPTP weenie offerings, I'd love to see some bath oils, hair glosses, candles and more!
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? Not my cup of tea.
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? Unfortunately I live in Hell so not much opportunity for cold weather clothing but slippers would be welcome! I wear a size 7.5 to 8.
do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3T9VTS2MR0E89?ref_=wl_share
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? I don't have a Halloween tree.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Nope.
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? I was peeping these White Peach Fougere Hair Gloss, BASTARD-AMBER DRAGON polish, and GLAUCOUS DRAGON polish.
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. Yes, my hair is shoulder length now and I'l love a vampy look. Red, Black and creme.
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? No thank you.
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'd love a small painting of my long lost kitty if possible.
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 answered above but I'm always down to try out a hair gloss or claw polish.
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Oooohh, probably a nice matcha powder and this book I've been coveting but is a million dollars in the US, Santa Lilio Sangre Hard cover Art Book 2010 Kojima Ayami Akai Yuri Japan.
I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? Sadly I am all trinketed out in my small apartment.
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 don't have an ita bag so probably not.
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 have wayyy to many tshirts, unless its a BPAL one of course.
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 have wayyy to many tshirts, unless its a BPAL one of course.
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? Yes, a little vampy one would be cute.
Feelings on candles/wax melts? I don't need any candles but I do need wax melts.
Feelings on crocheted wall art/ Color scheme requests? Something small and black, maybe a bat?
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've never tired Australian food so anything would be a welcomed curiosity.
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!

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.

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!

This is Halloween answering~ 2025
woohoo! Here’s my answers to questions for this sweetie swap:
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.

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
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

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 neatFeelings 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! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!!
n/aI 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.
would not know what. I stick pins on my knapsack but I'm not particularly disneyishWant any of the DragonCon Claw Polish?
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.- Read more...

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
Jack-of-the-Woods, Phantasma, of the Grey Hound in soap or wax melt would be lovely.
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'm honestly not sure. It sounds lovely, but I don't know.

Yes.
9/4
Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ?
Apple Milk, Autumn Bouquet, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Cozy Apple, and Little Hedgehog. Samples would be great, or a candle?
Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to?
Bats, cats, hedgehogs, otters, seals, flower crab spiders, herons, California roof rats. Mermaids.
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
She has so many awesome things! Okay, just out of nowhere, Sebastian with the bandana over his face "the human world is a mess." Yes, it is, Sebastian. Yes, it is. Light(Galadriel), Free (Harriet Tubman), An Impromptu Surprise the postcard or sticker(the faces on the pin don't show well), You Have no Power over Me, Don't Panic, Orca-nize, Spoilers (it makes me teary, though--so maybe not). I could go for more, but it would be a loooong list.
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)?
Rose and/or citrus rind sound amazing. But I trust your expertise, if you have something in mind. Just maybe not lavender-- or a pumpkin spice mix because of the doom of Allspice hiding in everything.
Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one?
Yes/ sure.
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.)
Is there anything Emperor of Ice Cream scented? Or any of the massage/moisturizer bars, Buffy the Backside Slayer... but I'd probably love anything without Laureths. I haven't been to Lush in over a decade.
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam?
I love jam, sure.
Do you like plushies, like Squishables?
I like plushies, I'm not sure on any Squishables, specifically. But, if you think I might like it, I probably will.
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
Yes; Balsamic Berry and maybe Molasses Ginger?
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.
I would try any of those, and the other people in my home like mead, if I didn't. But I could also cook with it. Thank you for the awesome "types" mini-lesson. Now I know what one of the provisioning items in my game is meant to be.
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.
I would love a rose liqueur sample.
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.
All of this sounds amazing. I would love to try the smoked salmon, or anything super local. The internet has two differing definitions for aplets: one is some kind of pasty thing? and the other one is like Turkish delight? I'd eat the Turkish Delight kind in a heartbeat. I don't think pasties would make it intact.
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?
The Blackberry one, coffee, toffee, malt balls, or Mexican hot chocolate.
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.)
Umm, from See's, I like rum nougat, the brown sugar covered in chocolate, and apricot delights? I love fruit jellies-- they were my great grandmother's favorite, and she loved them, even when she forgot most other things but my name. Oh, hey! I like seafoam, it was just called honeycomb sponge when I had it (and it was not spongey, which was weird).
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/.
I am not sugar free. I am not a fan of most alternative sweeteners, because there is usually so much of them in there that it goes beyond sweet and into nasty bitter residue territory. I am *specifically* looking at you, Stevia and Sucralose.
But, if you've got sugar-free thing that don't do that, I'm up for trying them.
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?
It can be all food items, and I would be super pleased. It can be no food items, and I would be super pleased.
One clear advantage with all food is that it will get eaten and not contribute to my hoard of shiny things-- although the trade-off is likely to be new cravings for something that is hard to find around me. Hmm....
I think I have no strong preference as to number or percentage, but I would definitely not be unhappy with a box of only yummy food adventures.

This is Halloween 2025
Just putting this here for now, I’ll come back and add answers after work.
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 here9/4
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 noIs 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!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 acquaintedHow 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

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. I don't really drink but the description sounds great. I'd try it

Updated 9/4/2025 Evening
I'm wanting to place an order with Paintbox Soapworks. Do you see anything you'd like?
I would love Fairytale sorbetto. Phantasma looks fascinating and I would love to try sample sizes of soap or sorbetto of that and The Grey Hound. Looking back, Heliotrope also looks cool and samples would be fun.
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.

A folio sounds interesting - I always need things to help me get organized.
Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ?
I love their pumpkin butters and bubbling scrubs! In terms of scents - Apple Milk, Pumpkin Eater, Pumpkin Eater and Red Roan sound interesting (I know I like Apple Milk, but have not tried the others).
Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to? Bats and large spiders, cats, owls, corvids, dragons, gargoyles

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? OH how lovely!! I would adore arm warmers with a thumb hole, and slippers lined in cashmere ?!

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. Would love 2, and with black silver shades of dark jewel blues, greens, purple,, sparkleyDo you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? ritual candles. I really need a cauldron I can burn things in. Lilith and baba yaga figures too.

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 would LOVE to have my D&D character and animal companion painted.

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 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. any of the above! - in black, grey, silver, darker greens, shades of darker blues, or surprise me. Just no scratchy wool or pastel/bright colors unless its just a highlight in the color scheme.
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.

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 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? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. a mini journal in a sort of victorian gothic style

Spooky Season aka Switch Witch 2025
I will be posting all of my bonus question responses here for Switch Witch 2025.
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween Update?
Basic witch: candle, bar soap; black no 1: bar soap; haunted woods: bar soap or candle; Michigan moonglow: bar soap; October road: soap or candle; spooky season: soap bar or candle; zombie repellant
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
See my Sock Dreams wish list included on my master wish list:
https://www.bpal.org/topic/127-wishlist/?page=136&tab=comments#comment-2854522
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 wow! These look terrific I will work on making a wishlist.
Do you see anything you need from the Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
Dead leaves on the dirty ground: bath streusel, hair and perfume oil or sorbetto; Granny Dank: glycerin soap; Pumpkin Daddy: hair and perfume oil
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Apple milk, cozy apple, cozy pumpkin, Persephone’s descent, Samhain, violet moon, Kitchen Witch, hex
Pumpkin butter, hair oil, perfume oil, soap, scrubbing bubbles or refresher spray,
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?
October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse,
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? .
No thanks
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? Slippers would be amazing, so would arm or leg warmers. I also love those rope bowls.
Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Yes, please see my master wishlist linked above
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? I don’t
Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes, my master wish list is here: https://www.bpal.org/topic/127-wishlist/?page=136&tab=comments#comment-2854522
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? There are a few of the dragons that I would adore: caput mortuum, melichrous, sang-de-beouf, glacous dragon!, Coquelicot Dragon, Gamboge dragon!
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. My hair is too short, so no thank you
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Yes! I love crystals and anything to help make our move to the Nederlands easier would be terrific.
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 would, something smaller that is easy to pack with my other artwork for moving would be great.m
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!!! October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse,
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Washi tape, cute stationary or journals (I prefer size B5).
I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I love that sort of things. Especially if you have anything from Mongolia with horses on it
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. How neat! I sadly don’t know what I would do with one these days.
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. they don’t have tank tops and I hate t-shirts
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! It looks like I am a size L and here are the ones I think look fun:
Black or dark purple
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? Sure! Black and purple
Feelings on candles/wax melts? I am not opposed, but I don’t have a melter
Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Sure, black, Forest Green and purple
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. Kangaroo jerky? I’m not sure if that is possible, but I would be interested in trying that or some of the other unusual Aussie offerings. Just see my allergy list.
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/
Ooooh! Australian Daintree sounds super interesting. I am also interested in: Celebration (if the chocolate is dairy free), Golden Yunnan, French Earl Grey, Copenhagen Blend, Canobolas blend, black caramel cream (if dairy free), Marco Oriental, organic Ceylon orange pekoe, and Gooodnite Sweetheart.
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 am tragically allergic to coffee these days. ☹
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 absolutely adore handmade things. Socks would be ahmazing!! Please use wool or other animal fiber if possible, I can’t tolerate acrylic or cotton on my feet.
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 loooove another pair of knee length linen bloomers with a drawstring waist. My pair is totally trash after several repairs. I just wore them out. I would love a darker color like olive green, dark coffee brown, black, navy or dark grey.
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/: 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? Spicy and sweet? I love all of these. I would enjoy a 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,
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.

Switch witch condiments
Cellar Door’s update: maybe Black No 1, or Once Bitten
Sock Dreams, no thank you.
Dammann Freres looks utterly delightful. Jardin Bleu, and Paul and Virginie are seriously tempting.
Paintbox sorbettos are always wonderful. And Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground is calling me hard.
Haus of Gloi - some bubbling scrub could be lovely. Maybe in Persephone’s Descent or Spider Silk.
I have no clue about pastel Halloween things, but pastels really aren’t my thing, so probably not.
BPAL Dragon Con/Weenies. So far, I think the one that really piques my interest is Caput Mortuum Dragon.
Lawardrop - if you were to turn out to be my witch, some slippers sound utterly decadent. As would some arm warmers. I’m not sure about baskets, they sound lovely, but I just worry about having space to use them the way they would deserve.
Also I do have an Amazon wish list so I will dig it out and link it, along with my Etsy list that’s asked about further down.
I do not have a Halloween tree. Much as the idea appeals, I don’t really have space for one, sadly. I do love the idea of ornaments that I can hang other places though.
I love the idea of a hair fall, but I don’t honestly know if I would wear one.
Witchy supplies, no thank you.
I love the idea of a custom artwork, but living in a rental makes hanging things a little problematic, so I need to say no thank you.
1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Nothing specific, but a Japanese surprise could be fun.
2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
Small things from random countries sound fun too!
3. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc
No thank you
Snorg tees look really fun!
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/the-horrors-persist-but-so-do-i-womens-signature-tee?variant=41708167856260
I’m a black tee for everything wearer, and a women’s classic 3XLBloom 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_shareMy 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!
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 brilliantI 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.

SW 2025 Answers
1. Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
Michigan Moonglow, Sanderson Spice, Spooky Season, and Zombie Repellant all sound like they could be nice!
2. Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
The asexual crew socks, under the stars crew, hitchhiker’s guide crew, dragons and wizards crew, spooky shit crew, year of the dragon crew, venus fly trap crew, plant killer crew, whale shark bamboo crew and capybara orange are all kind of my aesthetic
3. 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/)
I have quite a bit of tea >.> it’s a bit of a problem
4. Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
Bit curious about Jack-of-the-Woods. Maybe the bath streusel or sugar scrub.
6. Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
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 colors9. 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 not12. 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_T13. 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 you15. 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 why16. 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 MDZS17. 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 you20. Feelings on candles/wax melts?
Don’t really use them21. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
I don’t have room on my walls22. 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 sugar38. 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 generally41. Charity
I don't have any specific names, but I'd love a donation and you can tell me why you chose them42. 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 good47. 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 know57. 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)- Read more...

2025 Switch Witch Questions!
(Current as of 9/8)
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween Update?
Basic Witch, October Road, or Spooky Season soaps!
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
I could actually use socks! I like ankle/crew length, and love all of these:
https://sockdreams.com/collections/crew-socks-anklets/products/thistle-crew
https://sockdreams.com/products/fiddlewood-nybg-crew?_pos=41&_sid=b57880a87&_ss=r
https://sockdreams.com/collections/crew-socks-anklets/products/solar-system-crew
https://sockdreams.com/collections/crew-socks-anklets/products/cherry-blossom-crew
https://sockdreams.com/collections/crew-socks-anklets/products/under-the-stars-crew
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/)
I do not see a tea here I would be mad about receiving; absolutely yes.
Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground sounds so nice (anything in that scent!)
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
The sugar scrubs or bubbling scrubs in Persephone's Descent or Red Roan would be divine.
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?
I do like Dead Leaves, and the Dead Leaves and Apple Pie sounds really nice! Also always enjoy Samhains. Nothing else is really screaming out from the list at the moment.
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
Very in favor, adorable, I love! I have a bunch of cute pink Halloween cat things already.
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?
SLIPPERS! Those sound so incredible. All of this just sounds really lovely.
Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
I do! Here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/Z9L2NMPLAXRP?ref_=wl_share
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
No BUT I would absolutely put Halloween ornaments on my Christmas tree.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
Yes! Here: https://www.etsy.com/people/thesaturnine?ref=hdr-fav&tab=items
(Note: retromarlene is my mom's store! I favorite all of her stuff on pain of lecture, so you can ignore those
.)
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
None of those are really screaming out to me!
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!
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
If you have any imps of TALs kicking around I always love trying those, or any beeswax candles (I like the ones from Nui Cobalt very much). Anything for staying centered and focused and calm. I have a fair number of crystals, but any small stones are always welcome.
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).
150% yes! I love owls (and Athena), cats (and Sekhmet), and crows (and the Morrigan). Really no restrictions, go wild.
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 love the sounds of:
- SANG-DE-BOEUF DRAGON
- FLAME-OF-BURNT-BRANDY DRAGON
- GAMBOGE DRAGON (ATMO SPRAY)
- DEAD LEAVES AND APPLE PIE
- I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?
Stationary! Especially cute greeting cards and pens... any Chococat stuff (he's really hard to find over here now for some reason?)
- I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
!!! yes!!!
- 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/ etcetcNo thank you! But they are very cute.
- Snorg tees 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.
website is snorgtees.com
How have I missed this website??? Only three?! Dying. Size small, any color!
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/bat-and-robin-womens-signature-tee?variant=41577194913924
- BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. 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!
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 ❤️

Switch Witch 2025!
Amazon wishlist: here (NOTE: I am not sure if this shows you my wishlist of books, or if this also gives you access to a separate wishlist called "Non-books." If this gives you access to "Non-books," please disregard. That list isn't especially prurient or anything but I rarely look at or update it so it certainly contains things I don't need currently.
Cellar Door Fall Collection:
If they still have a Once Bitten candle I'd love that. It's my fave of their Halloween scents but I'd prefer that over the soap since somehow I never used my bar of it from last year. But if they only have the soap I'll take that instead! Other scents that'd work for soap include Lavender Pumpkin, Black No. 1, and Spooky Season.
Sock Dreams:
Not at this time, will update if that changes.
Damman Freres Tea:
This site is a little hard for my poor old/slow computer to understand, so I hope I am looking at it right. Remember that I will not use loose tea, so if I am mentioning something that is only available in loose tea, it is a mistake. Noel, Jardin Bleu, Gout Russe Douchka, Bali, the Green Mint and Minty Teas, Rooibos Carrot Cake, Coquelicot Gourmand, Christmas Tea (green or black) all sound good.
Paintbox Weenies:
Soap or Bath Streusel in Phantasma or The Grey Hound
Haus of Gloi fall?
Pumpkin Butter: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs, Little Hedgehog, or Spider Silk
Candles: Little Hedgehog or Violet Moon
Pastel Halloween/traveling during round:
Pastel Halloween things are fine. As for traveling during the round, I am going to be out of town on Halloween itself, but that is just staying in a hotel in one of the nearby large cities for one night.
Functional, useful fiberart:
Gosh, slippers decadently lined in cashmere are hard to pass up!
I do not have a Halloween Tree. However, I could display Halloween ornaments in other ways and have in the past.
I do not have an etsy wishlist as I rarely if ever look at etsy these days. I might look at etsy again if needed in order to spoil my Witchee though!
I would not wear hair falls.
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
Eh... I have a very nice witchy store in my town, just went there yesterday and got some black tourmaline and a room spray. I have a LOT of crystals already and currently they are just in a box in the kitchen. So if you see one crystal or trinket you think I'd really like that's fine, but as mentioned in my questionnaire, I don't really want someone else sourcing specific spellwork items for me or something.
Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting?
No thank you.
Dragon Con Redux:
Plastic Rats and Dark Macadamia sound worth a try.
*See below for addition*
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?
For this question, usually I just say that whatever is in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Since in my original questionnaire I mentioned green tea flavored chocolate, that's still a thought, including in the green tea kitkat application. We usually also get a question about seasonal kitkats in general, so again, if it seems like I'd like the flavor, go for it! Japan also has many fun flavors of potato chips, potato sticks, etc. (I have some "Hokkaido Butter" flavored ones right now that I got from Daiso), those also sound good right now. I can update this question if I think of another specific product.
Mongolian souvenirs/small things from random countries:
This sounds great, actually.
Custom ita rosettes/cases:
No thank you.
3 fave snorgtees:
1. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Black
2.TRY 2 MORE TIMES SO THAT YOUR FAILURE IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Dark Grey Heather
3. Fear is the Mind Killer Cat, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Berry
I am not a fan of bloomchic based on the one order I made from them (which was just last year, but was not a Halloween item).
* 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)?
No thank you.
* Feelings on candles/wax melts?
I think I've already been fairly effusive about candles here, and I know that in my questionnaire I state that i don't want/use wax melts (though I think I refer to them as "wax tarts").
* Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
Sounds intriguing. Plenty of information about color preferences in my questionnaire.
Australian goodies:
If there are Tim Tams you think I might like, or any other treat that seems to be in line with my preferences, that's fine! Just no musk lifesavers, haha! As for the local Australian tea blender mentioned, it seemed like they only do loose tea, which I will not use, so I guess not!
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:
Coffee preferences are also in my questionnaire. As review, medium roast, whole bean, not flavored. Old cartoons... Thundercats? Space Ghost? Jem?
hand-knit socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders?
I'm so sorry, I'm not really the right audience for any of this.
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?
Again, I'm so sorry, just thinking about how difficult it would be to come up with all of these specifications is majorly stressing me out. It is a nice idea but just won't work for me at this time.
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?
Now THIS is way more my speed! From the selection on the site, I like the following:
rubix snake
finger axolotls
future is inclusive magnet
infinite possibility sticker
"neurodivergent shit" pen set
(So... if there's other stuff at the actual store along those lines, have at it!)
Ren Fest schtuff:
So, I am having a bad day today and am not sure if this answer will be coherent. But, Ren Fest things in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Ren Fests usually have all kinds of things that I like and probably have described in my questionnaire or in other answers, such as candles, bar soap, lip balm (again, in a tube, not in a pot/jar), earrings, stick incense (not powder or cone), etc. I almost always buy earrings and soap when I am at these events. Thinking of other things I have usually bought while attending, please do NOT get me a coffee cup (anywhere, not just from Ren Fest). Again, I just moved, and somehow we have so many coffee cups that even after devoting an entire cabinet to them, we still have more than one box of them that will probably never be unpacked because we have so many. Sorry, tangent! Told you I was having a bad day....
*We've had multiple questions about Dragon Con goodies but the nail polishes have come out/been placed on the site since then. I really want Glaucous nail polish and it was not up when I made my Dragon Con atmo spray order, so I just wanted to mention that in case it helps you.
Also, I did not answer the under-$10 and over-$10 wanted items questions in my original questionnaire as far as I remember. I did come up with a likely-under-$10 one: Halloween stickers! I don't so much mean the big plastic-y stickers people put on water bottles and such now, I mean the sheets of smaller, cheaper stickers. The Halloween stickers I have that are like that probably date from a Switch Witch round 10+ years ago and are getting pretty depleted by now. So if you have the chance to pick some up for me, that'd be nice!!!
-Hahaha I just realized that I had a copy and paste error in my original questionnaire. I don't think this will be very helpful, but here is a corrected question and answer from there:
Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age?
Depends on the context I guess
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
This is actually a complicated question! For unisex tees (i.e., "men's sizes"), I usually get an L these days. For fitted/women's tees, I'm likely a 1X or 2X, whatever the size up from XL is if there is one. Pajama sizes are probably similar to women's/fitted tee sizes. In case helpful, I wear a US 18 or 20 in pants (uh, I think those are called trousers in other countries?).
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
I do like Halloween socks and I guess cats are a good bet (though other things are fine if in line with previous answers)? My absolute favorite Halloween socks are actually different colored eyeballs. I know I said I didn't like gore but I don't really count eyeballs by themselves? Like I said, I don't really need much in the way of midcalf-or-lower socks, so if you are getting me some, just one pair please!
I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series...
This does sound nice but probably wouldn't work for me/be my thing.
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.
The paper folio for organizing writing goods actually sounds pretty nice. I would rather have the other types described than shabby chic or winter holiday.
Snag Tights:
I LOVE Snag Tights and have quite a few things from them already. I usually order size F. Their Halloween things always seem to sell out so fast so I dunno if you will actually be able to get me any of this though, but here goes:
Psychic Cats Mesh Top
Nocturne Tights
Phantom Veil Tights
Dot Dot Dot Tights
Grimoire Tights
Disneyland Paris:
No thank you
Lush:
Harvest Moon shower gel (OMG this is my favorite kind of tea in the world so this would be so amazing!)
Lord of Misrule shower gel!
Snowy Mooncake bubble bar!
Dracula bubble bar
Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar
Bewitched bubble bar
Demon in the Dark soap
Alien bubble bar
Witch bubble bar
Motivation eyeliner
...and I can always use more Charcoal facial soap!
Back to the under-$10 and over-$10 question from the original questionnaire:
I finally thought of an over-$10: a new bottle of Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo! I was kind of forgetting that I wear it in my hair most workdays, so of course I go through it more quickly than I do other BPAL scents.
Greenwoodtree's fudge:
Oh yes please! Out of the listed types, I'd pick Penuche WITHOUT nuts. For custom orders, I'd like matcha the most, second choice would be maple WITH walnuts.
Dryad Teas:
This appears to be another company that just does loose tea, which I will not use. If you really, really want to buy me something from this store, I guess picking out a tea trivet for me woudl be your best bet.
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?
Home-canned things sound great. I'll admit, I do like both tomatoes and rhubarb, separately though I think (peach would be more for my husband, I don't really like peach anything)! Rhubarb I'd like to be at least somewhat sweet. Tomato jam also sounds good, that could be sweet and spicy or just one of the two, as long as not too spicy (again, as noted in the questionnaire, I'm a Texan, so my mild spice tolerance here is probably a medium spice level in some parts of the country, though sub-mild when it comes to Thai hot or Desi hot... it's all relative!).
Poesie:
So again, the tea is loose tea, which I won't use. So I guess this is another one that's not for me!
*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?
Almost certain that maika is NOT my Witch based on these continued questions, but I will play along anyhow! If I got instructions about how to use an indigenous spice blend I'd try it, especially if it'd be good in something like fried rice that is improvisation-friendly. Info about chocolate preferences is in my original questionnaire, with milk chocolate being the least favored. This reminds me that no-one's mentioned ruby chocolate, which I'm especially a fan of....
Erstwilder website:
I think I've perused this site before, I do really like it. It's definitely a case of too many choices though... like there are literally hundreds and hundreds of items in each category. So if I seem to have only looked at the first 100 or so things but you think the 350th thing is totally my style, feel free to spring for that if you'd like!
Earrings: Rowdy Rattlesnake, Show Pony, Posh Pussycat, Regal Woodland Owl
Necklaces: The Great Entertainer
Enamel Pins: Cal the Giant Squid, Feline Festive
twilighteyes question omibus:
peach jam, zox.co bracelets, plushies: no thanks
jonboy caramels: Yes please, all of the kinds listed on the site sound nice!
mead sample: Yes please!
rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur: Sigh... they sound good, but in reality, I would not do anything with them
I have to confess that I still have a special potent potable that a past Witch sent to me years ago. So unless you are okay with them just being display items, nope!
PNW or Seattle items: nothing especially comes to mind. I mean, I guess the fish are supposed to be good to eat, but I don't think you can ship them to me, at least without a lot of expense or hassle? I guess the coffee is supposed to be great too, but I've already said you could send me some medium roast, whole bean coffee.
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? This sounds great! So many cool flavors! Maple Bourbon, Moon Rocks, Rainier Cherry, Sip Sip Hooray, Thank You, Block Party Brownie, Happy Birthday, Coconut Island (swoon!), Pike Place Espresso, San Juan Salted Toffee, Nutbutter Pretzel, Magical Mint, Mexican Hot Chocolate, 14 Carrot Cake, Hungry Blackberry, Salted Toffee Crackle, and Cafe Latte Crunch all sound great!
Trader Joe's fall goodies:
The thing I would like the most is the Honey Hydration Day and Night Cream Duo. Other things that caught my eye include:
maple fudge
honey hydration bath fizzers
wicked good mini chocolate bars
maple spiced nut mix
pumpkin pancake and waffle mix
maple butter (I mean the shelf-stable spread called this, not the "butter with brown sugar and maple syrup" which I assume is a refrigerated item)
maple brown butter flavored almonds
pumpkin blondie brownies
pumpkin gnocchi
Wyrding Studios didn't have anything that I couldn't live without, and I am not a planner person (I've tried, but it doesn't stick!).
No leggings for me please. I think I own one pair and wore them once last year when my work insisted on having a "pajama day."
British things:
We like marmalade in my household.
ateliercoco website:
Black & White Balloon Dog earrings
Kintsugi Snake earrings
Black Butterfly Moon update:
I ordered a bottle of The Abandonment of the Unicorn already. Given that, I'd take decants of:
Vanilla & Tobacco Flower
Vanilla-Infused Incense & Raspberry
Black Fly Butter Moon
On Talking
Stilleven Met Bijbel
The Burning Light
Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean
Witch Baby: Cafeomancy soap, Ghost Girl bath bomb, Halloween Cake body butter, Pumpkin & Pistachio bath bomb or soap, Spider Baby bath bomb or soap
Moonalisa seems mostly sold out right now. I'm actually waiting on an order from them from July anyway.
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 have several tattoos, but I'm not sure if I'm getting any more and am not likely to want to go the tattoo pass route.
*Back to the Australian Thingz question(s) from earlier, just in case:
Sooo, my husband and I really like an Australian band called Blank Realm. For some reason, their songs get played by the independent radio station of a local university. If you happen to have access to any merchandise of theirs or something due to being in Australia I guess I'd be interested (like shirts or pins or keychains or something... do bands still have keychains???). I don't think we have physical albums of theirs (we just have the music downloaded I think) so I guess that's another thought (CDs or records would both be okay).

Candle or bar of soap are welcomeLavender PumpkinHaunted WoodsHolland Hard CiderAutumn Apple FestAnything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)Chevron Sleeves – Sock Dreams grey or blackI 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/)Under black teas, the Assam & tiramisu blend sound lovely. Some sort of autumn black tea with fruit and spice would be nice if that's on the autumn list.Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox SoapworksI adore their bath streusels, especially Fairy Tale or anything with apple.Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)Blood Orange Marshmallow is my fave scent of theirs.

I don't have or need them all, but I always find at least 1 new one each year. I'm hoping Beth will resurrect Dead leaves & vanilla incense (or if you have an unloved bottle knocking about)How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?I'm not much of a pastels person at any time of year, but certainly not at Halloween. I'm a deep dark jewel tones kinda girl.As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?None of the peachy ones. I'm curious about the room spray Gamboge Dragon. Weenies listed down the page.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.A pony tail about 12-13" with purples, teals, black, silver would be fun with my renny garb.Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I love stones, anything promoting harmony, abundance, peace. Or a hagstone. I adore hagstones.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'm still thinking on this and will come back to it. Short answer is yes, but I need to ponder direction/ideas.Ever painted a cat with wings? I have a small collection of winged cats in prints & tiny sculptures. Other than that, corvids, owls, otters, or Fae your choice.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!!!More or less in priority order:DEAD LEAVES AND APPLE PIEDead LEAVES, MOLTEN LAVA CAKE, AND RAW CACAOVintage kitty blow moldsDark MACADEMIANEW QUESTIONS
1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Fun flavors of kit kats. Iespecially like dk chocolate orange
2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
If there is something bead like that I can add to a necklace or bracelet, sure.
3. 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/ etcetc No thank you.
for Another question.
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines.
Is there anything there that tempts you?First choice would be Grimoire navy in size F
Also like Hallowqueen purple haze or Deathshead moth
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
The pumpkin spice shower gel ir the pumpkin bubbke bar
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!!
DEAD LEAVES AND APPLE PIEDead LEAVES, MOLTEN LAVA CAKE, AND RAW CACAOVintage kitty blow moldsDark MACADEMIAI love the badge ribbons & covet them mightilyNo idea why the weird formatting below, every time I try to fix it, I seem to make it worse.your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. I am the maker of yarny things in my family & nobody ever knits or crochets for me, so that would be fantastic. A shawlette would be lovely. I also have a great love of fingerless or short finger mitts that go well up my arm. I wear mostly dark colors, jewel tones with black & grey as my neutrals.
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.
Ooh something fun to go with my renny garb. I have outfits based on purple/grey/black, teal with a tiny bit of brown, & I’m building a new one that runs from pale sage to dark forest green. I think a chemise type top or a ruffley skirtor overskirt would be the most useful, in the greens.
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/ I looked through the site & did not find anything that grabbed me. My stim toys tend to be needles or a hook & a ball of yarn.
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
2x
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? Love them. Knee socks or crew, please no orange. If it has corvids, or owls, or bats, or cats that is great.
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.... Ooh. Yes please. I have one of those that came out a bazillion years ago. They are fascinating.
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.
The organization folio sounds great. Shabby chic is cool, or art nouveau inspired (did you know bats were a huge motif in that era?)
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 love the pins and would especially anything to do with Capt Nemo, Jules Verne or 20k leages undersea.

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?All kinds of fun things in Australia. Would love spices if they come with recipes (vegetarian). Dark chocolate is the best chocolate. Local wool for kniiting, native stones or small fossils. Are there any native teas or blends? I can't drink Rooibos, but am game to try others, or black tea with Aussie fruits.
Erstwilder- super cute pins. I like the Quokka, the Blue Jay, or the owl.
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? No thanks, I made several versions of peach myself (peach Cardamom baby)
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) Ive never seen these before. I would wear a size large. The ones I liked best were the Swimfree Turtle, Fantasia (reminded me of the Last Unicirn), Pspsps kitty
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? Growing my collection of flosses & embroidery supplies would be lovely. I just learned that there us glow in the dark floss. If you do embroidery, what kind of needles do you reccomen
Do you like plushies, like Squishables? Not really
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
A sample of anything besides the absinthe one. If one flavor, the coffee one.
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Yessss, I love mead, and a bottle lasts me ages to stretch out the sugar.
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? The lavender vanilla is very tasty as I recall.
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Ravens or crows.
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? Maple bourbon sounds amazing. Chai or cider donut do too. Anything dark chocolate based.

Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods My what pretty things. The cat bead earrings are adorable. The leafy earrings are also cool.
No leggings for me, I have a ton of them.
NEW QUESTION
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!Ooooh London is my bucket list . Tea is always wonderful.
Best thing though would be a tote bag I could carry a yarny project in from someplace cool, like a great museum, or Harrods, or Liberty of London.
Vampire kitty earrings are cute.Never tried Witchbaby. The pumpkin & pistachio sounds great bath bomb or hand cream.Moonalisa - no thank youObvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)?

2025 Switch Witch Questions
Links:
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
Basic Witch, Black no. 1, and Once Bitten all sound good. And not part of the Halloween selection, but the Tea Tree & Charcoal soap looks v nice too!
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
Any of the New Zealand bed socks, the plus size high waisted fleece lined leggings (black or purple), and they're out of stock, but my gosh the Lisbeth printed tights (large) are stunning
Damman Freres? Here's the link- (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)
Rooibos Carrot Cake, Lovely Chai, and Mint Fennel all sound delicious
Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
Bath streusel or scrub in Phantasma would be lovely!
Anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Bubbling scrub in Kitchen Witch or Spider Silk and/or Refresher Spray in Cozy Apple or Olde Cider Haus
Weenies wishlist?Will update once the full announcement is out, but as far as the teasers go, The Hag and Hiss & Hearse sound gorgeous.
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
I lean more towards nature-inspired decor, but if it's on something like a notepad or t-shirt it'd be cute (especially if purple or mint)
Will you be away for part of the round?
I will be away the week after it ends (11/9-11/15), but my partner will be home, so late packages will be safe but my squee'ing will be delayed.
Fiberart - What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?
Lined slippers sound oh so lovely!
Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
linked at the top
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
No, but I do have some wall hooks I sometimes hang ornaments from, so a flat ornament could make a seasonal home there.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
also linked at the top
Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? (Including the Dragons here too)
Nothing's catching my eye from these.
Would you like [a hair fall] (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)?
I've never worn one, so I'm not sure if it'd work with short hair? If it would, then a mermaid-themed one would be really cool - sea green mixed with colors to blend into my mix of salt and (mostly) pepper.
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
I'm well stocked on herbs and oils (though the new Golden Honeycomb TAL has caught my eye), but incense, chime candles, and crystals are very welcome. Anything for energy, focus, or creative expression/writing would be :chef's kiss:
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).
Yes - as long as it's not too heavy (I'm in a rental and use command strips instead of nails). I tend to like art that's either very stylized (like art nouveau) or abstract and/or textured (check out my pinterest for examples). As for colors, I like all shades of green and blue-green, but also punchy peaches and deep dark purples, as well metallics and weathered papers. Mixed media is welcome. For the theme, anything inspired by Tarot, fairy tales, fae, goddesses, or the ocean would be cool, as I lean towards the dreamy and fantastical.
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?
I love those guava candies and anything matcha. Aesthetically, I'm always drawn to prints with sakura blossoms over a blue background. There's probably lots of Japanese makeup and skincare I would love - I have pale, cool, olive-leaning skin, so a lot of asian makeup palettes work well for me. Same with hair products/accessories. Incense would be very welcome! I use the Morning Star brand all the time and would enjoy trying others as well.
I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
That sounds fun! I trust your judgement as far as specific types of souvenirs go, but I can usually find a spot for random doodads and whatnots, especially if I can find a tie-in for feng shui purposes.
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/ etcetc
These are so cool! Maybe one that could be used as halloween/harvest decor - like to hang from a doorknob perhaps? (colors: browns w/ a touch of green or teal)
Snorg tees 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.
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/strange-women-lying-in-ponds-sword-distribution-co-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=44828593651844 - heather slate, XL
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/do-it-for-the-plot-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=51003842461828 - heather slate, XL
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/chaotic-neutral-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=41882701758596 - dark gray heather, XL
BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!
Ooh, I've been wanted to try out Bloomchic for a while now. I'm obsessed with this one:
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?
I would love such a thing - I really like peachy colored flowers. There's a "Flowers" board on my pinterest you can reference for more specific color scheme inspiration. ❤️
Feelings on candles/wax melts?
Candles - yes! I mostly use taper, chime, and jar/tin candles.
Wax melts - no
Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
That would be very cool! I'd probably hang it in my office, so any combination of blush pink, rusty/brown-pink, soft greens, white/cream, beachy-type colors.
anything specifically Australian you might like?
I'm not really familiar with Australia-specific goods other than vegemite, but after some googling, I'd say Pineapple Lumps, Cheezels, or any sort of eucalyptus or manuka honey products.
local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try
The "Goodhealth Digestive" and "Rooibos and Roses" herbal teas both look good.
whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.
I use an aeropress, which recommends a "medium-fine" grind (I often use medium and the results are perfectly adequate though).
Re: cartoons/fandoms, you probably mean TV shows, but I gotta mention that I'm a Fieval stan, so if that's an option it's #1 on the list. Also a fan of Monty Python, Alf, Doctor Who, Fraggle Rock, and the Muppets.
Note: Please no Peanuts/Snoopy - my ex collected Snoopy stuff so I have an unfortunate association now.[knit] 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 (ankle or knee), extra wide arm warmers, or gloves would be lovely. I think I covered colors in the questionnaire, but for fibre the softer the better (if it's scratchy I'll end up not using it).
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.
Oh gosh, I would love a mid calf or ankle length flapper style dress in teal or plum. US size 20, 28" inseam.
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?
I have been curious to try the "gentle pain" type of stim, so these guys look intriguing - https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/collections/sensory-regulation-tools/products/spiky-sensory-acupressure-fidget-finger-ring-toy
Is there any Renny thing you covet?
I'm always up for incense, dried herbs, honey or lavender products, rings and earrings, maybe a cool candle holder
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
Typically 18-20/2XL/3XL, depending on the brand. I usually check the size chart to see which size falls closest to a 44-inch waist measurement. And if it's unisex or reviews say it runs small, I'll size one up from that to make sure there's room for the curvy bits.
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
Only if they're those big, fuzzy sleep sock types (in which case anything goes). Generally with socks I'm looking for function and comfort. I have wide feet and inflammation issues, so my #1 concern is a comfortable fit.
[Flower Letters-Lily Clara series] - would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee?
That sounds so precious and magical - yes, I'd love to read it
I make junk journals and paper crafts. [...] 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 is so cool. A folio/junk journal would probably help my life a lot. Maybe one to contain scraps of writing (I'm a poet and fantasy writer) - I've got so many things in so many different notebooks and random scraps of paper, it would be awesome to have way to organize at least some of it. Vintage or mystical vibes would be cool!
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you?
The Hallow-queen tights (size F) are beautiful. I'm also always up for chub rub shorts.
Is there anything you'd like from Lush?
I love their Daddy-O shampoo and I'd be interested in trying Mask of Magnaminty, Dirty Springwash, or the Himalayan Salt Rock Scrub.
I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you?
No thanks - I'm actually going to Disney World in November
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'm not familiar with Daiso, but I trust your judgement.
I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention?
Not thanks - I try to stick to BPAL for the sake of my sanity, lol
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.?
What a cool idea! I'm trying to think of a topic that would keep me reaching for it and this might be out of the box, but a collection of trivia on subjects I'm weak at would actually be so helpful. I play trivia once a week and am always stumped when questions about geography (countries, capitals, rivers), presidents, or the periodic table come up. It might not be inspiring, but it'd be very useful!
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 think I mentioned no Peanuts/Snoopy, but for the same reason there's a lot of anime I now avoid
I've also never been big on plushies, since you mentioned it!
If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?
I'm up for most things! Maybe steer clear of problematic authors who are still alive if it would be a new purchase.
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 🤤 :
My sweet tooth isn't the strongest, so less-sweat flavors (like peanut butter) would be most appreciated. And walnuts or pecans are always welcome!
anything from Dryad teas pique your interest?
Oh goodness. So yes, but I'm overwhelmed by the number of options. Gonna try to narrow it down by appealing names first, then check the flavors....okay, short-ish list: UnSeelie, Winter Court, Writing Desks & Ravens, Faerie Garden, Pixie, Rosemary & Rue, Sweet Dreams
I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet?
Yes! I like all the things. If spicy, I prefer it to be mild and/or smokey and/or sweet. Otherwise, gosh, yeah, I like pretty much everything and love trying things that are new or unique. I enjoy a good kitchen experiment, so if you want to throw something zany at me, go for it! Otherwise, whatever you have a surplus of or enjoy making the most
Poesie Tea - what would you like?
Cozy Chestnut, Geneva, London Smoke & Fog, and Palace Chai all sound good.
Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift?
I would definitely be curious to try an indigenous spice blend.
Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate?
Dark chocolate is bae, but I don't turn my nose up at milk chocolate. White chocolate I would give to my bf.
Is there anything here that appeals? (erstwilder)
Nothing's catching my eye
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam?
Yum - absolutely!
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
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?
paint brushes (for acrylic) are always welcome, especially the tiny-tipped ones
Do you like plushies, like Squishables?
no
Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good?
I'm not big on caramels because I don't enjoy the tacky texture, but caramel sauce would be welcome
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?
BIG yes
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?
these are so lovely, but I still have a liiiiittle bit left from the last time I got a batch, so pass for this round
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?
absolutely! - Pike Place Espresso, Magical Mint, & Cafe Latte Crunch sound good
If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want?
Those cinnamon sugar cashews sound dynamite. Intrigued by the Fall Harvest Salsa and the honey b&b products too.
Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee?
I like the fae lantern earrings
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 want to be a planner person, but alas, I struggle with such things. Maybe a planner that doesn't have a daily/calendar structure though?
Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee?
I'm pretty well stocked on leggings at the moment. I don't see any on this site, but a pair of (fleece/sweater) textured leggings might be nice though.
Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy?
Ooh tea or marmalade would be lovely.
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?
As long as things are packed securely it doesn't matter, though with that in mind, I'd lean towards (at least some) things being wrapped. I've had swap items arrive broken before, so the tighter/more padded the packing the better!
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
No thank you
Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye?
https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au
No thanks
Interested in any of these?
Witch Baby Soap - any of the scrubs or bath bombs
MoonaLisa - it looks like they're sold out of several things rn, so I'll swing back later for this
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 at this time, but thank you for alerting me to this! Might have to do some research into this down the line...
Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)?
Oh yes, this update is rather fetching. Black Butterfly Moon (perfume), Black Currant and Black Rose lotion, Tuberose and Sparkling Blackberry Wine, Grumblotch's Salts, Marine Lover Hair Gloss, and Strangled on Midsummer's Eve all sound beautiful.

Switch witch 2025 questions
Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?
Once Bitten or Basic witch soap or candles look yummy, or any of the apple/cider scents.
Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
I adore sock dreams, any of the knee high stripes, esp the pride flag, marled and harvest lines. I’d also love to try any of the thunder thighs thigh highs because they might actually fit and stay up for once. I adore the sockwell compression knee highs and can never have enough, esp in colors other than black (m/l). The rainbow snail knee highs are cute, as are the rainbow crochet net tights
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/)
The oolong Caramel looks fantastic (i love caramel teas but they are hard to find the US. one of my favorite teas is just like a generic lipton caramel black tea from france that I was gifted by a friend and cannot find here at all). fraise pistache, vanille almande, vanille, highlands breakfast, tea de poetes, 2nd flush assam, sencha tenu, gamnong
New Question Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks
Pumpkin daddy and jack of the woods look intriguing. Scrub or Soap.
New Questions!
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)Apple milk or little hedgehog hair oil, scrub, or refresher spray. Pumpkin eater and spider silk also sound nice but not sure if I'd get much use out of them. For GC scents coffee House and Satyr would also be lovely.
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?Punkie night is always a good choice and bobbing for smut is on my list (I have pumpkin smut & regular smut and love both). Any of the weenie versions of classics like snake oil would be good too.
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I actually like them. I am going to decorate my kitchen in pastel Halloween, my patio room with my Halloween tree, and the rest of my house with Vintage style Halloween.
I love pastels! Cute pastel rainbow and spooky is my vibe, so definitely a yes for me.
I seem to remember that previous questionnaires asked if you will be away for part of the round. I will be visiting my Aunt in New York from October 22-Nov. 2, so my witch may want to time my packages a little early. If not, my husband will be home to safeguard any packages.
Nope, I'll be around the whole time.
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?
Fingerless mitts are always wanted! I have chronically cold hands and work with them so having a warm pair of mitts to keep my fingers moving is essential. I live in a fairly warmish climate (my first winter here never dipped below 50, but last year we had snow). I also wouldn't mind leg warmers or a bowl/receptacle for knick-knacks.
Oh bonus question- do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book?
I do. I'll add a link in my sig but here it is for now:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12DYTM8OTGJXQ?ref_=wl_share
New Questions
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments?
I do have a Christmas tree that I decorate spookily for Xmas. It's white iridescent tinsel and I have a bunch of bats and regular ornaments I put on. I don't necessarily need anything for the tree but if you found any spooky themed Hanukah items I'd lose my mind.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
I do! I'm trying to update it a bit and remove stuff for old projects.so if you see 4 pages of similar craft items that's what that was about 😅
https://www.etsy.com/people/crescentwench?ref=hdr-fav&tab=items
QUESTIONS!
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
Im not fiending for any of the peach scents. Peach chai hair oil, peach milk oil and peach rock candy linen spray sound pretty good. I'm more into the dragon scents - Bastard Amber Dragon and Capuut Mortem dragon are both right up my alley, and griege dragon has potential to be a winner for me if the sandalwood will behave.
Okay updating now the full dcon list is out, in a sort of vague preference rank-
Bastard Amber Dragon
Caput mortem dragon
Griege dragon
Sang de beouf dragon
Cerise dragon
Tarantula flash
Devil flash
Vintage kitty blow molds
Hiss & hearse
Headless hearseman
Pumpkin root beer float
Lime green hearse
Pumpkin latte
Samhain
Peach rock candy
Pink peach strawberry & candied amber
Peach chai
Sugared Peach milk
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 probably won't wear these much. I have some that haven't come out in years at this point.
New questions:
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
Not particularly. I wouldn't mind some tarot cards (I've been drooling over fyodor Pavlov's set for years) or some herbs and oils for kitchen witchery purposes (i.e. cooking) but I don't really do any rituals or formal practice.
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 love artwork!
Favorite styles: art nouveau, cartoon/graphic style (like anime or tattoo art, bright colors and lots of line work), soft & colorful (think impressionist, pastels)
Favorite artists: Jiji Knight, John William Waterhouse, Mucha, Monet, malina dowling (voidbug), gawki
Favorite subjects: gorgeous curvy ladies, plants & animals, spooky things like ghosts, bats, baba yaga, mythical creatures, pokemon, historical fashion esp 18th century.
1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?
I'm in love with several of the japan exclusive le creuset items, esp the soup spoons. I also adore Japanese stationary (gel pens, corrector tape, stamps, etc) and j + k beauty products. I've also been pining for Vivienne Westwood (real or inspired by) jewelry which seems much more prevalent there.
2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
I love random souvenirs and knicknacks from random countries
3. 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/ etcetc
I like those! I don't have that type of pin so maybe a hair bow? Or a full rosette I could use for historical costumes would be awesome. My colors are pretty prevalently mentioned in above questions but greens, peaches, springy colors and rainbow/pastel rainbow
* I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?
Probably not, I hate dusting fake flowers so probably not a great fit for me.
* Feelings on candles/wax melts?
I don't mind candles but I only ever use them in the bathroom and never use wax melts.
* Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
I'd be down with that. Pastel rainbow or green/peach/pink/yellow springy colors
NEW QUESTIONS!
1) Snorg tees 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.
website is snorgtees.com
I don't particularly need new t-shirts but I do like these designs.
visit Sark Chasm - green 2xl
Fluent in fowl language - navy 2xl
cake or death - black 2xl
2) BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! website is bloomchic.com
not for me. I'm not really into fast fashion or non-natural fibers. \
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't think of anything specific. I don't have strong feelings about tim tams having gone gluten free before having access to any. But if you have such a thing as gluten free jaffa cakes I'd be absolutely floored.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/?shpxid=5b923712-0d5e-474a-8d56-451b0c319c78
black - caramel cream , vanilla or any of the breakfast varieties
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 need the caffeine (see above, adhd) but I prefer lighter roasts and I'd rather have whole bean since I don't drink coffee super often and prefer to grind it fresh. I also love flavored coffees like (i'm sure it's not a surprise at this point) vanilla or caramel.
As far as 70/80s cartoons/fandoms mainly the muppets, monty python, labyrinth, princess bride. I mostly watched PBS and wasn't allowed video games as a kid so I'm mostly familiar with newer stuff despite being born in '82.
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.Oh I would adore handmade socks or arm warmers!! I won't repeat colors again but natural fibers please! Cotton or wool/animal fiber.
I work a 2nd job this time of year at the Michigan Ren Fest. Is there any Renny thing you covet?
I love rennie stuff! My favorite ear threads were from a faire. I could use some kind of cute belt pack/bag that isn't a fanny pack, maybe a leg harness type one? I also love the teacup holsters I've seen. Or just a leather harness I could use to style over street wear dresses.
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
I usually wear a 2x tshirt, pjs a 2x or 3x is good. I'd rather have them looser since i can always tailor them to fit if needed.
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
I just love socks in general. Ghost or witches, headless horseman, hocus pocus. Anything is great! I definitely prefer knee highs over crew but have big calves so that's a hard ask sometimes. Most retailers don't fit my wide calves but see sockdreams response above for good options. I will wear crew socks but mostly around the house.
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....
This sounds pretty interesting! I haven't ready a book in ages but this sounds very inspiring artistically, and I've had creative block for a bit 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.
My ADHD doesn't do well with journals, but some stationary or postcards would be nice.
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines.
Is there anything there that tempts you?Most of it is sadly not in the us but perhaps you're abroad or have a nacho witch to help. Ones i love are: pumpkin pie and crimson shadow duos (the duos are my favorites, i get so many compliments), coven, nocturne, necropolis, weaver, grimoire, venom mock garters, and the death's head moth ones that are still available on the US site. There's really no wrong answer with snags. They're all fantastic. I usually wear a Short F.
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?t=1756607960067
I have a hard time with lush because they often hide floral notes in their scents. Mango Lassi shower gel and Mango Kulfi body conditioner look scrummy, The alien egg farm shower jelly looks nice, mr. pumpkinface mask, i'd also be interested to try their mascara and eyeliner, pineapple facial wash, turmeric latte lotion bar
almost forgot to answer my own questions 😅
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 have a few favorite makers listed in my questionnaire but things like DOWK dresses - bright, lots of colors/patterns, puff sleeves, big honkin pockets. I'd love some super comfortable pants I can wear to work that are also bright and fun
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/
I do! I have a big problem with skin picking and being fidgety in general. Favorite stim toys at the moment are a marble in a tube of crin that you can push around, and putty. I'd love one of those fidgets with the keyboard keys on them or just things that use resistance while playing to help keep my hand strength up.
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 don't have anything specific in mind, I don't really collect pins. I can always use more plush, esp if there are harder find merch like stuff for Sword in the Stone or the fairies from Sleeping Beauty. Other disney fav movies include Winnie the pooh, brave, and tangled.
Question... 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've never been to one and they website doesn't give much idea for options but I'd love some new stationary items like gel pens, staple-less stapler, corrector tape, cute post it's. I'm also pretty short in washcloths and would love some cute sanrio or kawaii designs (fav sanrio characters are pompompurin, gudetama, and agrretsuko, but I also like many of the others). I'd also love some cute blind boxes if that's a thing they have.
I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention?
Everything seems to be too foody or floral for me.
*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 like it could be 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 tropophobia."
I feel like I've been pretty clear about things I don't want, but I'm not sure if I've mentioned no floral foods. I prefer to keep my potpourri and my food separate (and the potpourri outside where it belongs). I don't technically have tryptophobia but I'm not a big fan either.
*If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?
Not really into the Outlander series, or ole JK Rowling and her nonsense. As for genres/themes just keep it light and entertaining. Nothing scary or really dark/intense.
Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
Anything that supports trans and queer youth, especially in the south/midwest.
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 🤤 :
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'm weirdly not that into fudge, despite loving chocolate. It's always way too sweet for me. Montmorency cherries do sound tempting because dark chocolate and cherry or raspberry is a favorite combo of mine. Basically if you can make it dark, and not overly sweet I'd definitely eat it, I'm just hesitant because I've yet to find a fudge I like. But according to our other switch participants yours is amazing so maybe it's the magical one I'll adore.
anything from Dryad teas pique your interest?
https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea
I'd love a little bat tea pet, one of the ghost dangle steepers, or the little ginko cloud tea bag rest. I love their blends and have a huge list of want to trys - mainly black teas or green teas, esp their new matchas. Green eyed sue, Hymn to hyrne, persephone's pomegranate, rogue's blade, sunrise chai, xavier quinn, japanese gyokuro, scoundrel's mark,
for reference I currently have and like - awaken, bite me, stay safe/stay awake, dragonside tavern, assam.
Poesie Tea - what would you like? website is poesieperfume.com
For smells Kindness & mischief lola like it was practically made for me. Persephone rising also looks interesting (Persephone is close to my heart), for tea Chestnut, lehevir degage, ooh la la, releve
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?
Raspberry and strawberry are my favorite jams, followed by apricot or pineapple. I love sweet jams and garlicky dilly pickles but spice level is maximum slightly above zero white and people friendly sadly, maybe 3/10. I'm not big on salsa unless it's the avocado/tomatillo variety. No rhubarb please. I use a lot of Asian sauces/spices so some chutneys or homemade hoisin would be fantastic.
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?
Indigenous spice blends sounds like fun, esp if you included a recipe to use them for.
As far as Australian things the main Australian thing I'm obsessed with is Dame Edna. I saw her on PBS as a kid and no one here has any idea what I'm talking about when I mention her. I lucked into a 3 disc det of the Dame Edna experience at a thrift here but otherwise my collection is not existent. My car is named for her and I just adore everything about her.
For chocolate, dark is the absolute pinnacle of joy. Milk is allowable provided it is very good quality, and milk is only allowed if it's Cadbury's Dairy Milk otherwise it's an unforgiveable affront.
Is there anything here that appeals?
I adore Erstwilder and have zero pieces from them yet. It's come up in a few swaps that i've done and I always drool over everything. I'm not really into the enamel as much as the acrylic pieces.
From the Halloween Collection: any of the Just Gourdeous pieces, warts and all brooch, macabre memento brooch, going batty brooch, cozy coffin brooch, captivating potion brooch, poison apple or pumpkin drop earrings.
From the other collections Strawflowers necklace, Ruby the stag beetle earrings, jane austen book club brooch, cal the giant squid necklace, ruby throated hummingbird earrings or necklace, rowdy rattlesnake, free kisses brooch, ticket to ride brooch, polka dot bow earrings, anything strawberry shortcake or lemon meringue, anything pride related, anything ocean related esp squid, sharks, rock lobster earrings, parrotfish earrings, jellyfish drops, seafarer brooch. Anything floral, the entire tea collection though i love the jammy dodger and fancy a cuppa earrings the most, with spill the tea and a biscuit or three following up. Honestly, I'd say skip any non-halloween holiday related items but otherwise I'd be absolutely thrilled to get any of their pieces.
Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam?
Peach isn't a top flavor for me but I'm sure homemade would be much better than i've ever had before and i do love jam on toast.
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 rarely end up wearing them. I wear my smart watch and that's about all the sensory input I can handle on my wrists.
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?
Need, not particularly. I could use some more sewing thread - I had a big collection of inherited thread that was starting to dry rot so I pitched it when I moved but I haven't got round to ordering some more from WAWAK yet. I could also use some more silamide hand sewing thread. As far as wants, I'm always on the look out for pretty vintage laces and trims, vintage embroidered table linens and linen materials in general.
Do you like plushies, like Squishables?
I absolutely do. I might have a small squishmallow/plush problem 😅 I collect ocean themes, forest/cottage core, and I've been adding in pokemon and sanrio items.
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! my favorite are apple cider caramels, but of those options probably Whisky or Fleur de sel.
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?
I don't drink much but I'd enjoy a little taster.
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?
No thank you, see aforementioned feelings on flowers in my food.
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?
I can't think of anything off hand. I do love a good lighter roast coffee. The only other thing I could think of would be some local lox but I can't imagine those would ship well. 🤔
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'd love some, these look amazing. Ranier Cherry, Sip Sip Hooray, Hungry Blackberry, Salted Toffee crackle. honorable mentions to block party brownie, pike place espresso and nuts for fruit.
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 work like 1/2 a mile from TJs but haven't managed to get there lately, the parking is a disaster and it's really stressful. That said, I really love their GF madeleines and Everything bagels. I usually buy a lot of frozen foods, and snack foods like the little rice mochi stars and bombas. As for fall stuff, I'm more of an apple person than pumpkin these days.
Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods
I really like the leaf and star earrings, and the dainty leaf and vine necklace.
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 but realistically everything just goes on my phone calendar because I always have my phone. Planners have a way of going missing or getting left places or I just forget to put things in them all together. The only one to tempt me recently is the hobinici but I know i won't end up using it.
Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25
I like the batty design, but I find it doesn't get cold enough here for me to wear tights most of the time let alone leggings under my dresses, so i fear these would sit on my shelf.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!
Oh gosh. So many things!! Any gf British treats like shortbread or biscuits, tea, maybe a jelly cat or taskmaster memorabilia? Honestly anything would be lovely
question, relevant to the above note: 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've only done the 13 nights-type swaps before, where that was a given, and I find it fun.
I'm happy with either! It's fun to do several packages with instructions or just a free for all. It's up to you dear Witch.
Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au
ugh, another one where I love everything. Brain skull and halloween cupcake designs are great, I'd probably wear earrings the most. I also love the candy hearts, eating eyeballs, the jellyfish earrings (esp the pink ribbons), and the popsicle hair clips
Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap
ghost girl soap, pistachio and pumpkin hand salve
or here? MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean – MooScents
Hmm...Dusting powder or hydrating mister, I would also love detangler but it looks sold out. Scents that appeal are brazilian mango lime smoothie, coconut pudding with grilled pineapple, earth, lemon sugar, tikki room paradise
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?
I probably sound like a broken record but Jiji Knight, hands down. https://jijidraws.com/
Ive had my eye on getting one of her sassy mermaids (too cute for your shit or fuck your diets) on my arm, but I also love the boba girls, and some of the more goth designs.
Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)?
on talking, burning light, maraschino cherry perhaps? This is a very floral heavy release so it's slim pickings for me.

Lupercalia 2025 breakdown
Might take a couple days to get through this! There are lots of "maybes" this time. Posting here because I want to come back and edit, probably multiple times.
Box of Chocolates 2025
Choco-Goblin Perfume OilCoconut covered chocolate lumps, gnarly patchouli, and sweet benzoin.
Pass - not usually a big chocolate fan (in my perfume), but I am interested in the white chocolate ones. (Sometimes there are exceptions though). I like Goblin but this combination doesn't sound great to me.
Choco-TKO Perfume OilA soporific dessert: Hidcote lavender, golden hops, and vanilla bean dusted with cacao.
Pass - have enough TKO in various forms.
Chocubus Perfume OilFrozen white chocolate and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage.
Interested, decant? I tried Incubus a long time ago and it's fine but I never wear it (I think it gave me nightmares or something), but this combination of notes has potential.
Horreur Choco-Tique Perfume OilDark chocolate, ruby cocoa, blood musk, golden honey, thick black wine, champagne grapes, tobacco flower, plum blossom, tonka bean, oakmoss, carnation, benzoin, opoponax, and sugar cane.
Pass - mainly due to honey, we don't get along. Although looking at this I wonder if it smells anything like Temple Viper? It's a stretch but TV gives me grape + incense vibes, and they do share the sugar cane note.
Sea Foams Chocolate Perfume OilWhite chocolate froth and marshmallow fluff cresting on an ocean wave. Don’t drink it!
Interested! I really liked Supposed To Be A Pretzel, I know this isn't the same but still my mind is connecting them for some reason. Decant.
The Dark Chocolate Rider Perfume OilDark chocolate, leather, sweet myrrh, tobacco absolute, and black amber.
The Ruby Chocolate Rider Perfume OilRuby chocolate, red leather, red musk, red berries, red mosses, balsam, and passion flower cordial.
The White Chocolate Rider Perfume OilWhite chocolate, frothed milk, sandalwood, and leather.
Don't need any of the Riders, tried them when they first came out and they weren't for me.
White Chocolate Rabbit Perfume OilWhite chocolate filled with black tea and cream, splooged with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla.
Interested, I like gc White Rabbit and also the snow one, and I'd like to try this one too. Decant.
Girth of Venus
Cake for Breakfast Perfume Oil
Peach silk, cherry fizz, pain au chocolat, and a cup of generously creamed black tea.
Pass but it was close.
Erotes’ Valentine Perfume OilPink buttercream roses, wingbeats of pearly suede, and whorls of dark musk.
Pass - for now
Mars and Venus Perfume OilA stolen moment preserved for eternity in a gleaming amber jewel, entombed in malachite swirls of oakmoss and velvet.
Pass, pretty confident on this one.
The Crimson Perfume OilBurnished rosewood, clove cigarette smoke, oozing apple slices, and plum cashmere cushions fouled with trickles of labdanum.
Pass on this one.
The Pearl Perfume OilA salt-encrusted cocoon overflowing with almond blossoms, sweet patchouli, and dried peony petals whipped into orris butter.
I feel like I have more than one thing like this already but not sure. Pass for now.
Lupercalia 2025
Amoretti LXXV Perfume OilA great and golden love: immortal, undying, infinite. A love brightly burned into the stone of eternity: golden amber and scarlet musk, black vanilla absolute, red apple, Siamese benzoin, and sweet fig.
Pass, mostly because of apple, it tends to take over the whole scent on my skin and ends up smelling like shampoo.
Like the Very Gods Perfume OilShuddering, sweat-warmed skin gleaming with sheer musk, honeyed olive blossoms, vanilla cedar, white sandalwood, and orris butter.
Pass for sure because of the honeyed part, I know it would dominate on me.
Luperci Perfume OilThis scent is for the Luperci, the Chosen of Faunus, the Brothers of the Wolf: raw, down and dirty patchouli, Gurjam balsam, and essence of Sampson Root sweetened with the heightened sexuality of beeswax, virile juniper, oakmoss, ambrette seed over honey and East African musk.
Pass, tried before and didn't work for me.
Penetralia Perfume OilThat heavenly spot where creamy, angel-pink hibiscus petals meet the pale, juicy-green pistil.
Pass, for now but could change my mind. I don't really know what hibiscus smells like.
Pink Fuzzy Handcuffs Perfume OilIt’s not quite as fun when you lose the key. Pink cotton candy, candied rose, and vanilla sugar.
Pass, pretty confidently. I like some sweet scents but this sounds VERY sweet.
Red Lantern Perfume OilA tribute to the opium den cum bawdyhouses of Shanghai in the 1930’s. Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice.
I will pass for now. I think I tried this before and didn't get alomg with it.
Rose Milk Tea Perfume OilAn impossibly sweet concoction of green tea and frothed almond milk poured over fresh rose petals and glistening tapioca pearls.
Had to really think about it but I'm going to pass for now. I'm not really in the mood for rose right now.
Smut Perfume Oil
We are the smuttiest. Three swaggering, smutty musks sweetened with sugar and woozy with dark booze notes.
Like it, but my 1 bottle is enough.
Snake Skin Perfume OilA sinuous leather variant of BPALs Snake Oil.
Have it and don't need more.
The Elephant is Slow to Mate Perfume OilA rolling, unhurried, volcanic passion sustained by a love that is slow, shy, patient, and wise – and expressed through a scent as warm, languorous, luxuriant, and comforting as a cloak of heavy, soft red velvet: deep burgundy musk, red labdanum, smoked rose petals, opoponax, 17-year aged patchouli, blackened vanilla bean, dried black cherries, blackberries, and tobacco absolute.
Have it and don't need more, although I should try it again, it has been a while.
The Serpent in the Carnations Perfume OilSnake Oil-soaked carnation petals, spiked with a dash of clove and allspice.
I have a bottle and don't need more, even if it's different this year (not sure if it is).
The Serpent in the Lilacs Perfume OilSpring’s first lilac branches dunked in 3-year aged Snake Oil.
I really just feel like I have enough SO variants.
The Serpent in the Opium Poppies Perfume OilSnake Oil, opium tar, indigo poppy petals, plum cognac, and a dribble of laudanum.
Pass but the hype is testing me.
The Serpent in the Roses Perfume OilSnake Oil dribbling across a cluster of amber-flecked, blackened rose petals.
Already have it and don't need more.
White Flowers, Red Ink, Black Paper Perfume OilIf this year’s Lupercalia fragrance collection was a book, it would be printed in blood-red ink rolled across the soft, stubborn bodies of dream-pale flowers, and stamped onto heavy black paper. We’d pass it around before the letters had a chance to dry, staining fingers with the turn of every page, marking the curious as aspiring erotes, as fellow Lupercalians. The sanguine contents of this text were made to be devoured by the eyes, the skin, the heart, and then the story continued by its readers, passed along to others.
Pass on this one, not really calling to me. I'm not big on ink and paper scents, from my experience.
Womb Furie Perfume OilAn itch that needs to be scratched: Snake Oil and three types of honey.
No thank you!
On Lovers' Lips
Coquette Red Perfume Oil
A flirty strawberry-tinged rose lipstick.
Dominatrix Red Perfume OilLatex, leather, and blood-red lipstick.
Egyptian Red Perfume OilCleopatra’s vibrant carmine suffused with myrrh, blue lotus absolute, cinnamon bark, elemi resin, and cassia.
Elizabethan Red Perfume OilOrange blossom water, fig milk, clove bud, madder root, and gum arabic smeared on an ambergris-dabbed white leather glove.
Jiroft Red Perfume OilGround hematite and manganite pounded into vegetable waxes and scented with dates, narcissus, rosewater, and oud.
Vixen Red Perfume OilConfidence, sensuality, glamour. Ripe black cherries, velvety red rose, and a flirtatious sparkle of pink pepper glide seamlessly through iris-touched vanilla bean wax.
Don't need any of these - they just don't sound that appealing to me but I would sniff if any of them came my way (I guess that's true for just about any scent).
Raunchy Hearts 2025
Aces Wild Perfume Oil
A big, wet blue raspberry blown to the idea that asexual people never get off, don’t enjoy relationships, or are generally anti-sex.
Cuck Me Perfume OilA sticky-sweet love letter to the stranger (coworker? lifelong friend?) who’s been sleeping in your bed: candy cigarettes and root beer barrels.
Don’t Peek Perfume OilLychee tears soaking through a blindfold of opium tar.
Findom Perfume OilAn arrangement in which eros is expressed via liquid assets and cold, hard cash: shiny butterscotch and pale green vanilla mint.
U Tried Wild Perfume OilYou sure did! Here’s your participation award: a bright, sweet lemon candy lightly dusted with sugar to soothe the sting of rejection.
UNF Perfume OilHot, heavy slaps of dragon fruit punctuated with pink pepper whimpers and a grunt of patchouli.
Yelp Perfume OilMake some noise if it feels good! Make some noise if it feels bad! A paper pouch of popping peach and sour cherry candy
Don't need any of these. I can't afford to try a whole lot so I'm kind of glad when I can pass on a whole section. Happy for those who are getting them, though.
Edit: Ok I might want to try the lemon candy one.
The Seven Veils
The Fifth Veil Perfume Oil
Putrefaction, the veil of decay. A yellowing shroud of raw-edged Muga silk, banana-spotted with chunks of fermented fig and exuding rich, earthy puffs of mushroom dust.
Pass for sure
The First Veil Perfume OilCalcination, the black veil. A densely-ruffled carapace of peppered ambergris, sandalwood smoke, and charred silk
Doesn't sound like something I would like.
The Fourth Veil Perfume OilConjunction, the veil of reunion. Ripples of sage-green silk covered in a mossy velvet-burnout pattern of wildflowers and slithering ivy.
Probably pass, but there is some potential here. On the fence about this one.
The Second Veil Perfume OilDissolution, the flowing veil. A crystal-sequined torrent of lilac-wine organza soiled with trampled grapeskins, cinnabar smudges, and smears of liquid myrrh.
Undecided - probably pass but I weirdly want to try it.
The Seventh Veil Perfume OilCoagulation, the veil that lays bare. Bare skin visible through a glittering web of blood-red garnet beads strung on threads spun from filaments of pure gold.
I'd like to smell this just out of curiosity but overall I think I can skip it for now.
The Sixth Veil Perfume OilDistillation, the veil of steam. Condensation gathering in clouds of tulle, white tea, aqua vitae, rosemary liqueur, and bourbon vanilla.
Same as above except I might actually look for a decant of this one.
The Third Veil Perfume OilSeparation, the veil of distinction. A tumble of pearly pale-blue chiffon shot through with slashes of white ginger and lined with ivory satin rosettes.
Not sure, this is another wild card, maybe a decant?
Shungas 2025
A Cluster of Red Chrysanthemums Perfume Oil
Red chrysanthemum petals, guava pulp, crimson-tipped peonies, and sandalwood incense.
Ok now we're talking. I can't help but think of Chrysanthemum Moon but "sandalwood incense" could turn on me. Probably a decant.
A Pause in One’s Studies Perfume OilLuminous amber, white tea, sweet heliotrope, golden lotus petals, toasted almond blossom cream, and a smear of ink.
Sounds nice but I have to be selective and this doesn't stand out a lot. I will watch reviews though. Maybe decant down the road.
A Record Book of Ships Entering the Harbor Perfume OilVanilla sandalwood and vanilla cream with a hint of tobacco absolute and blackcurrant bud.
Sounds nice but again, does this stand out? I feel like I've smelled lots of things with these notes already. Possible decant.
Affair Between an Amorous Doctor and a Wanton Married Woman Perfume OilGurjum balsam, lemon peel, ginger root, and clove.
Sounds a little too zingy for what I've been in the mood for lately. But I do love a good lemony scent.... have to think some more on this one
An Intriguing Observation Perfume OilPomegranate milk, scarlet musk, red sandalwood, frankincense, and white almond.
Passing for now, I feel like I have plenty of red musk scents and it can sometimes take over.
Aroused Demon Perfume OilRed and black vegetal musks, pink peppercorn, lychee, wild plum, green tea, oakmoss, and matcha
Not a combo I'm really interested in right now.
Battledore and Shuttlecock Perfume Oil
Calla lilies, green tea, peony milk, and blue lilac.
Now this is something I want to try and actually have a bottle in my cart at the moment! (Edit: I got a decant to try first)
Cascade of Tissues Perfume OilMarshmallow cream, red silk musk, pomegranate juice, and red currant.
Interested in the marshmallow cream but not the red musk. Possible decant.
Celestial Beings Making Love Above the Sea Perfume OilEucalyptus blossom, salty foam, ambergris accord, blue spruce, white mint, lotus root, and blue musk.
Sounds nice but I'm passing for now. I like aquatics but there are a couple iffy notes here.
Contest of Flowers: Iris Perfume OilIris, peony, and carnation petals soaked in strawberry cream and lotus milk.
Has potential but I need to be strict and this doesn't quite make the cut.
Convivial Vulva Perfume OilCherry blossom cream, blush marshmallow, white amber, and wild pink strawberries.
This has potential but I'm skipping it for now.
Couple Engaged in Intimate Acts as the Man Pours Tea Perfume OilJasmine tea, yuzu rice, and smoked vanilla.
Decant - potential, but I also feel I have some other scents like this.
Discarded Weapons Perfume OilToasted rice, almond cream, champaca resin, fig, and roasted coconut meat.
Again this has potential but I'm skipping for now. It sounds similar to some other things I have. I am interested in the rice note though. Possible decant at some point.
Enthusiastic Recreation Perfume OilVanilla-soaked sugared pear, frankincense, osmanthus blossoms, and hazelnut.
This is a wild card and I can't decide.
Festival Acrobatics Perfume OilAkebia, guava pulp, pink sandalwood, melon, green bergamot, Florentine iris, and sandalwood.
Undecided, potential decant?
Gongsun Sheng Uses Magic to Cause Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Perfume OilEbony musk shot through with scarlet, tobacco absolute, a crack of ozone, and sandalwood-dusted rosy skin musk.
Not quite what I'm looking for at the moment.
Great Pleasures for Women and Their Treasure Boxes Perfume OilAmber incense, guava cream, almond milk, and sandalwood.
Pass for now, not calling out to me.
Hazy Moon Cats Perfume OilSandalwood incense, dusky violet petals, mauve orris root, sweet labdanum, jasmine sambac, frankincense, and ti leaf.
Not totally sure but probably pass for now. Orris can sometimes come across like baby oil on me, and it's not a deal breaker but sometimes it stomps on the other notes.
In the Hallway of a Brothel Perfume Oil
Lemon cream, incense smoke, and candle wax.
I usually pass on waxy scents. I love the sound of lemon cream, though.
Intimate Experiments During Household Activities Perfume Oil
Mango cream, black cherry cordial, blackcurrant, and neroli.
I'm wary of mango cream because I think it went wrong on me in the past. And cherry notes can be very sweet and strong.
Jealousy, Fingering, Masturbation Perfume OilGreen tea with mint cream, jasmine petals, lotus root, and sugared violets.
This is very much the kind of thing I'm interested in right now - except the jasmine, it could take over. Maybe just a decant for now?
Lesbian Maidservants Cavorting with a Tortoiseshell Dildo Perfume OilPolished amber and honeyed teak draped in red silk brocade and soft mosses.
Not calling to me at the moment
Lingering Plum Scent in the Sleeping Chamber Perfume OilUme blossom and ripe black plums, clove incense, mogra, and a gentle mist of lavender and white honey.
I was somewhat interested until we got to white honey, not for me.
Lu Zhishen Pulls the Weeping Willow Upside Down Perfume OilWillow boughs tangled with strawflower, patchouli root, cypress, clary sage, vetiver, ho wood, and golden musk.
Undecided, pass for now.
Michiyuki Koi No Futozao Perfume OilBrandy-soaked pears, plum incense, and honeyed amber.
Pass, not my thing. But I wish for a plum incense single note!
Onnagata Making Love at a Tea House as Mane’emon Watches While Holding a Kite Perfume OilOrange blossom caramel, yellow tobacco flower, and sugared patchouli.
Hmmm....I'm wary of the caramel, but otherwise really interested I think. Decant probably.
Playful Abalone Divers Perfume OilLotus petals, jasmine sambac, orris root, coconut, clove, and honey.
Probably pass, mostly because of honey.
Plume of Incense Perfume OilTendrils of sandalwood, agarwood, and cypress incense, moss silk, calla lilies, and yellow amber.
There was a time I would have jumped on this but now I feel like I have lots of incense scents already. Might possibly want a decant but maybe pass?
Radiant Entanglement Perfume OilDragonfruit, honeyed hibiscus, fuchsia orchid, and white tea.
I'm just not sure, but it has potential. Possible decant. It sure sounds pretty and joyful..something I need right now!
Rapturous Spouses and Curious Cat Perfume OilLemon blossom, neroli, white honey, Himalayan cedar, ylang ylang, white frankincense, and a fuzzy purr of musky amber.
Probably pass because of white honey.
Scarlet Blossoms Perfume OilBeeswax, white tea, amber-warmed skin musk, cherry juice, wild plum, and a cascade of cherry and plum blossoms dipped in silky red musk.
Several notes here can go wrong. Safe pass for me.
The First Tea Ceremony of the Year Perfume OilMatcha tea and nerikiri.
I think I just am not crazy about matcha in my perfume. I already have the matcha cheesecake Beaver Moon and that is enough for me.
The Fox Spirit’s Jest Perfume OilRusset musk, red silk, rose chypre, wildflower honey, and patchouli root.
Definitely a safe pass for me, too much red and I don't like honey notes for the most part.
Shunga HG 2025
Annual Events of the Vagina Hair GlossPine needle, crushed grass, jasmine absolute, and juniper.
Chart of the Muscles of the Hand Hair GlossToasted almond cream, white musk, and hazelnut sandalwood.
Diver Combing her Hair Hair GlossSalt-dusted lilac and lavender petals splashed by sea water.
Glowing Vulva at Ryogoku Bridge Hair GlossCream accord, amber, teak, and lotus blossom.
The Harbor of Love on the Island of Women Hair GlossWhite tea, cherry rose petals, marshmallow, frothed cream, and amber.
Diver Combing is the only one I'm mildly interested in but I don't need any more Hair gloss.

Krampusnacht ?Answers
Would you like something embroidered my elf? If so, what type of design or theme? Also a standard hoop frame, on a tea towel or napkins (if so what color) or something else? That would be amazing, preferably a tea towel. I love the idea of a raven holding mistletoe in its beak but I also love Victorian Yule vibes.
Would you, dearest elf, be interested in some handmade hair falls? The kind I make are 1. extremely lightweight 2. made from up cycled and ethically sourced natural materials like silk and antique lace 3. completely customized just for you- so give me around three colors, preferred length and whether you'd like one big one (ponytail style) or two (space buns / pigtails style) These sound so fun, I would prefer one big one in blood red, grey/black, creme/white. Victorian vampy vibes would be the dream.
Would you be interested in homemade cocktail bitters? They do have alcohol, but can be used in seltzer or club soda in addition to adding that little somethin' somethin' to your favorite cocktail. I have already made rose, cinnamon bourbon, orange saffron, and ginger vanilla which I am happy to share or could also make something more bespoke in the next few weeks. Note- these are made with vodka, unless otherwise specified. I don't really drink so no bitters for me but I would use alcohol extracts for baking, something that would pair well with sugar cookies.
Would you be interested in infusing kits for your alcohol of choice? Could be for different liquors or wine, depending on your preferences. No thank you.
Is there anything that you would like to stock your liquor cabinet? No thank you.
Soooo I love the tea towels from Spoonflower AND they have a ton of Krampus type graphics. Would you be interested in a tea towel from there? (Bonus if you go look and give some links to your fav Krampus fabric.) Nothing is jazzing my jollies, sorry.
Or I can order a fat quarter and make a bowl holder for you (works for hot OR cold, on the table, in your hands, microwavable) if you're interested. I use them a lot for hot bowls.
I already have one from you!
Would you be interested in an Advent Calendar? I'm not the biggest fan of them personally, too much extra packaging for me.
Anything from Haus of Gloi's site that you want? https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/yule-2024-info (yule collection part 1 should be up on Sunday.) Yes!
Spruce Tip Shortbread Handmade Soap, Fancy Bread Handmade Soap, Yule Body Powder In Long Winter's Nap (especially since I lost my other HOG body powder and I get really sweaty at my job), and Yule Bubbling Scrubs In Snow Wolf peak my interest.
Anything from Paintbox Soapworks? Yes again, I love bodycare and I burn through scrubs. BLACK TWIG HOT PROCESS SOAP, COMFORT & JOY SORBETTO EMULSIFYING SUGAR SCRUB, FIGLET SORBETTO EMULSIFYING SUGAR SCRUB, IN DULCI JUBILO HOT PROCESS SOAP (ugh this one has my favorite note, beeswax), IN DULCI JUBILO SORBETTO EMULSIFYING SUGAR SCRUB, RENSDYR SORBETTO EMULSIFYING and SUGAR SCRUB call my name.
How about Moonalisa? I would! I've never tried this brand before so whatever you like I would be happy to try.
Do you want any goodies for your pets? (catnip, dog cookies, etc) I do have a kitty at my house named Gretchen, she's a little over a year and very mischievous. She loves to play and sometimes cuddle if she's feeling gracious.
For NAUGHTY things, what do you think about ... ummm... kinky toys or adult toys? No toys for me please! However, in the same vein I would appreciate a sexy bra, garter, or stockings. Just no undies as I'm super picky with them. I wear a 36b for bras in a balconette style and a medium/large in garters. My favorite colors for those are you guessed it, dark red! I also love lavender, grey, black and creme. Also velvet, I love anything velvet. Here is some inspo ideas. https://www.victoriassecret.com/us/vs/bras-catalog/5000005210?brand=vs&collectionId=08b8367b-635e-4667-ad96-87aea7294c7c&filter=size%3A36B&limit=180&orderBy=REC&priceType=clearance&productId=&size1=36&size2=B&stackId=dd2fb373-e79d-4ed3-9cf9-d999efe3388a&genericId=11245348&choice=01P2&product_position=1&stack_position=1&stack_count=2&dataSource=personalized-collection&categoryTwo=New Markdown&categoryOne=Top Rated https://www.victoriassecret.com/us/vs/panties-catalog/1120715700?choice=13P0&filter=sizes%3AM%2FL&genericId=11207157&limit=100&orderBy=salepriceus&productId=6919d0a4-243c-4719-80dd-520d6ee5c7e8&resultPosition=5&searchBrand=vs&searchedFor=garter&categoryTwo=New Markdown
These are my questions but I'll answer them just for fun!
Would you be interested in a small yule wreath if so what colors and theme would you fancy? No thank you, I will make one for myself!
Anything from sock dreams peak your interest? A gift card would be wonderful as we are likely out of the shipping window.
Anything you might like from my favorite little tea shop? https://www.fridaytea.com/ I am pretty stocked up on tea right now so no thank you.
Would you like shower steamers? If so any particular EOs you might like? Yes! Lavender and or peppermint.
Would you like a simmer pot mix and if so would you like it for any intent? No thank you.

Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like? no. I haven't used the last things that someone gifted me from PBSW. Love the smells but the stuff just never seems to get used
Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like? I would LOVE a hat or fingerless gloves or basically anything embroidered (tiny wall art!!!)
I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any such homemade goodies? sure! Any of those would be welcome except I don't really do bar soap but if it's "pretty" I can put it in a guest bathroom

Would you like a small watercolor painting? I'm talking 3×5". If so, would you like it based on your preferred Halloween motifs or something else? absolutely would love small wall art!!! Halloween-esque would be fine but also, we have a collection of Biscuits and Gravy art...
I make light-weight hair falls ( I can do single or double, if you have a preference for pony tail or pig tails)- I make them out of things like soft yarns, up-cycled silk and bits of lace. Is this something you'd like? If so, tell me up to three colors and a length in inches you'd like. I am afraid Arrdyth (my hair) woud eat them. She is a mighty bitch all on her own.
Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update? IDK Haus of Gloi
How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update? I also DK Nocturne Alchemy

Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate? DARK!
Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck? sure
I'm going to Disney World all next week!!! Can I get you something? (Maybe you have a favorite Disney / Star Wars / etc character or fandom? Maybe you're a Pin Trader? Maybe you like cute kitchen-wares / tea pots / nice English tea / pot holders tea towels?) I am NOT a Disney person...
This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles? we mostly burn incense in the house but have the ability to use wax tarts and candles are fine too...
I can handle super foody scents in the house (which I don't wear) and also any of the headshop/whorehouse scents I like to wear...
I am MUCH less picky about room scents than I am about body scents.
are you interested in skincare, such as trying travel sizes of various types? (would be cruelty-free, cleaner options coming from over here, if that matters to you!) If you send it I will try to use it... but I am quite happy with my super simple Brujita Skincare routine

Let's talk earrings. Pierced? Stud, dangly, hoop? Any ear wire preferences? Large or small? Other preferences? pierced but I mostly wear the same silver hoops all the time
Will occasionally wear other things though so feel free to try me.
If there is something extravagant on your wish list, would you like one large gift and the rest of your gifts quite modest, or would you rather forego the lavish item in favor of more of a mix among your other gifts? I don't really care. Honestly, I'm into underconsumption these days so all the gifts could be modest and its fine.
The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like?

I have in my possession a selection of real Bakelite bangle bracelets! Definitely from the 1940s-1960s era. Would this be an exciting gist for you to receive? I probably couldn't get them over my giant hands/wrists LOL
Would you like anything from sock dreams? not much of a socks wearer
9/13/2024
Would you be interested in a spooky mini waffle maker or spooky playing cards? sure
Does anything from SnagTights strike your fancy? not much of a tights wearer
What about from Michaels or JoAnnes?
do you like Ren fairest? Might there be a fun little thing I should find for you there? I haven't been to a ren fest in years but I'm sure there are things that I would like there... I just cannot think of what off the top of my head

Weather permitting I'll be going to a witchy Florida themed night market next week! Is there anything you may want from it?
9/17/2024
Do you desire any Samhain ritual-type items, if so, what?
Tell me, my ghoul-friend, would you love to see things from these places (and what?) as you unwrap your gifts? I will be going to the Pacific coast soon, and there are witchy stores (one with serious occult supplies, many handmade including inks, quills, books, etc), a HUGE gem & mineral store, a huge yarn shop, shells and way too much sasquatch stuff, also an amazingly diverse mercantile in Yachats, OR, and the Green Salmon, where unique PNW teas, coffees are sold
So... always down for yummy coffees and teas.... sparkly rocks are always amazing... occult supplies are fun to receive... I'm so easy... seriously... if it speaks to you and says its for me.. I'm sure I'll love it
