If you like Lush, are there any UK-only things you're desperate to get?
I haven't tried much Lush. I would be open to it though!
Crochet goodies yes or no? If yes, what kind of goodies?
Yes! I love homemade stuff.
Do you have any allergies to animals/smoke/food etc?
Lilac scented stuff, cigarette smoke
Graphic novels:
I like them. I haven't read many beyond Sandman.
Nail Polish:
I don't use it much.

Nail Wraps:
I've never tried them, but I have silly tiny finger nails so I'm not sure how well they would work.
Teas/Spices/Spice Rubs/Specialty Ingredients from a local tea & spice shop?
Tea is always okay. I'm not a big fan of red or herbal tea. Spices and rubs sound fun. I do a lot of cooking.
In Regards to loose/bagged tea:
I prefer loose, but will drink either.
Speaking of spices - where's your spicy/heat threshold? (scale of 1 - 10 - 1 being nothing more than black pepper, 10 being ghost pepper+)
Like a 7. I like spicy, but I also have bad acid reflux so I try to not take things overboard. Preferred book format? Physical, PDF, Kindle, etc?
I can use any format. I like physical books, but I also like using my Nook/ipad to read with as well.

I was thinking about busting out the sculpy clay - I sometimes like to make cute little fantasy miniature sculpture, like fairy doors, or miniature garden gnomes for potted plants, or I've even made a couple of tiny smaug's based on this cartoon.

Wishlists:
http://amzn.com/w/2IRNSZ9E8V6O8 Amazon, this wishlist is the result of years of window shopping. I've never linked it anywhere before.
I have a little wishlist at Ten Thousand Villages, but it appears that you can't link it. You should be able to find it by searching my name. Though, the answer to "Will she like it?" on that site is "Yes." -edit- Actually, this might work.....https://www.tenthousandvillages.com/wishlist/index/index/wishlist_id/11988/

Ones I'm interested in: The Witches, Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcake, Pumpkin Lager I've told myself I won't buy any more pumpkin scents. They haven't worked yet and I just don't have the money to keep trying. Still I would like to try them in hopes of finding *my* pumpkin scent.

Rich, fallen leaf type colors.

Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet? How Doth the Little Crocodile.

Talk to me, dear witchies, about tea. I know we've covered this a little, but I really need the nitty gritty here- not just companies you like and don't like (Teavana? Adagio? David's? Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary.
Tea. The kiddo is sleeping right now so I have time to elaborate on tea. I have a lot of Adagio tea. Like, a cupboard full. I haven't really tried many other companies because Adagio is affordable and convenient. The only other company I have tried loose tea from was Simpson and Vail and I hated everything I ordered from them. I would really love to try others though. My brewer is Adagio ingenuiTEA. Hmm, favorite teas.... I really like Adagio strawberry black and the summer rose black, black dragon pearls, and I love jasmine tea. I'm really fond of chai as well.

10/8/15
Do you like or want to try Marmite?
I've never tried it. I admit to a morbid curiosity.

bptp nail polish is my one exception to no nail polish. I'm curious to try theirs.

I don't like applesauce but all the rest of it sounds good!

Possibility of embroidery if we still have the huge commercial machine. Could be fun! And to go along with the previous knitting question...

(merino, merino cashmere, merino cashmere silk, 100% silk, 100% cashmere, merino nylon, BFL, BFL silk, etc. Or do you like acrylic?) No allergies that I know of.

I have a couple things that I keep out all year. I don't have a ton of decorations up until this year I lived in a pretty small house.
Indoor/outdoor Halloween decorations? What do you do, and what would you prefer to receive?

No objection! 9/16/16
Is there anything you'd particularly like to get from the UK?
I'd love stuff from the UK, but I'm drawing blank of specifics. Cadbury chocolate, since they took away the real stuff in the US. Socks/sockdreams/etc:

Art would be amazing. I don't have much hanging on my walls.
What are your favorite fandoms, if any?
Harry Potter, Dr.Who, LOTR, a bunch of embarrassing animes that you are welcome to ask me about,
Skincare- do you use a particular routine? What products would you absolutely not use?

Scarves and shawls would be amazing. I don't really know much about textiles. I like things soft. Wash clothes would probably not get used.
Candles or wax melts/wax tarts?
I like candles but allergies prevent me from using them most of the time. I've never tried wax melts.
9/24/16
The second part of the Haus of Gloi update is live tomorrow (the 25th)- is there anything you're interested in?

I've only been to a Ren Faire once and I'm not really sure what kinds of things you would find there. 9/23/16
Would you be interested in Kings Game by Lisa Millraney?
Sure Would you like any brown paper bags of "seconds" from Seattle Chocolates?
The answer to anything involving chocolate is usually yes. Elements & Artifacts has a fall/halloween collection up? Anything catch your eye?

9/20/19
I may have bought several full size Rituel de Fille makeup items in a frenzy over their whole vibe. If I tested something once or twice (and it can be sanitized), would you be interested?
I never wear makeup, but on the occasion I do Rituel de Fille is the only company I wear so very yes.
Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands?
Eh, my skin is pretty dodgy and a lot of things end of giving me hives. I thought I once found my dream facial moisturizer at Whole Foods, but by the time I came home my the hand I test it on was covered in hives.
Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated?
Hufflepuff shirt in 3X would be amazing. As would Nightmare before Christmas stuff!

9/22/19
Thinking about really good natural food stores like Natural Grocers or Whole Foods, if you could have ANY bath and beauty or body care items, what would you love?
Again, the hives thing. I'm pretty limited lately in what I can use.
Also what kind of treats, snacks, foods, condiments, bulk items, teas, housewares from the same natural food stores would you love?
Black teas, chocolate stuff, cheesy things. Interesting things. I frequently buy things that sound weird but good. I've only been to Whole Foods once so I don't really have good knowledge of what they have.
Also, are there any particular sustainable kitchen or household items you would love to receive?
Um, probably but I'm blanking at the moment.
9/23/19

little atalanta
Would you like anything from Lush?
No
9/26/19
Is there anything kind of weird and niche about which you feel this way, fellow witchees?
I've been going nuts with flower bulbs lately. So like you know how every place has like those 5 dollar bags of tulips or crocuses or whatever? I'd love them and find a place for them somewhere. Especially if they are interesting looking. The only thing is that I'm in zone 5b so they have to be cold hardy to that temp.
Kickstarter (and similar): Any thoughts, witches?
I haven't used it much, but what I have done has been great.

Any fiber issues?
Totally fine.
About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else!

No
What about postcards?
Postcards are always fun.
Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)?

Sounds neat!
10/3/19
I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip. Are any of these relevant to you or your household?
Yes, any of it!

10/6/19
So....we are about to process a metric f*ton of green tomato relish, which is basically bread and butter pickles but with sliced green cherry tomatoes. Is this relevant to any witchees?
No thanks, I'm not fond of sweet pickles.
How do you celebrate Halloween/Samhain? Do you dress up? Would you like something for your costume? And am I the only person left on the planet who wears socks?
I usually take the kids trick or treating. I don't usually have a costume because by the time I buy costumes for 3 kids I feel broke and aggrivated. lol
10/7/19
Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas?
Black teas are always good. I drink roughly a million gallons for Adagio's Strawberry black tea so that is always a good bet.
I make light-weight hairfalls, doll-style, using a variety of fun stuff, like ribbons, lace and soft batting. Would you be interested in receiving a set in the colors of your choosing?
No thanks.
And a quick question here--I'm going to this amazing looking event on Saturday--does my witchee see anything they might be interested in? https://www.facebook.com/events/903999316607440/ (the Oddities Market)

I love trying new and odd flavors of candy. Stationary is good. I'm a sucker for cute things. I've fallen hopelessly in love with Fruit's Basket all over again watching the reboot of the anime.
What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries.
I don't actually know. I'm really bad at self care. Probably gardening stuff. I'm getting ready to out more bulbs in soon and I always want more. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth...... anything that will grow in zone 5 b. I know they sell drill bits for planting bulbs and that would be amazing to have.

Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles?
Loooots of the foody ones. I haven't broken it down yet though.
How would you feel about recipes?
I like them!
Would anyone be interested in anything from Bucees?! It’s a magical giant beaver gas station/shop! It has spices, fudge, Knick knacks, all things Texas, candy, beef jerky, roasted nuts, and of course beavers! Most things like the fudge and nuts are made in house.

How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess? If you've got a system, please share it.
They are just a confused mess.

I'm a knitter. I have some knitted washcloths done, and can knit up more. Would you like some? Also, if answered soon enough, I can maybe get a scarf done. Would you like one? What colors would you like? Thin or thick? With or without fringe? Are you allergic to any fibers - wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca?
No allergies, but I have fibromyalgia and I like soft things. I like 'autumn' colors. Rich reds, browns, oranges, yellow, green.
Witchee, darling, there's a *slight* chance I might be going on a trip next week and *might*, in the course of this trip, have access to Disneyworld goodies from Epcot and Magic Kingdom - any stuff you might desire?
I love Moana

Yes! I'm the biggest size, which I can't remember off the top of my head. Any of the non fishnets would be awesome!
Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preferance?
Either

Not my thing

https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie?
The teas look wonderful. My internet is being slow and aggravating and won't open the perfume section.
I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys. I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies. Any interest?
Oh yes.
