If you like incense what type to you use? Stick/cone/loose?
I prefer cone incense.
Do you have a favorite animal?

Would you like gloves/mittens/scarf/winter hat?
Definitely yes to the hats, my hair is short and my head gets cold lol. Not much into scarves unless they're really long. Fingerless gloves are good. I never put my phone down so I end up not wearing my regular gloves much hahaha~
Loose/bagged tea?
I prefer loose leaf for the most part but I'll use bagged if they're of higher quality and it's like an all natural bag.

Over $10 - Tamamo Gift Plush (https://myfigurecollection.net/item/512545)

Black Licorice/anise
For the purposes of this swap (not trying to start an international perfume debate), is honey a gourmand note
Yes lol
Thoughts about lovely bespoke cleansing scrubs a la Sugar Spider (https://sugarspider.shop/) or PBSW sorbets?
PBSW sorbets are the BEST. I love scrubs in general though and would love to try a new brans.
How about literary writing gloves?
No thanks
Tokidoki, anyone? Other cute kawaii goodness? Plushies, blind boxes, etc?.
I'm not a huge tokidoki fan but I love generic cute japanese blind boxes. I have this little tabby cat statuette and a little grey cat that hangs off your glass that I love. I love plush but I'm also kind of running out of room lol.
Fun cloth masks? Holiday themed or no? Favorite style?
YES YES YES! The only good thing about this pandemic is that mask wearing is now acceptable. I've been wearing masks in winter and just as fashion accessories for years. So I love me some fun festive masks for the season. For non holiday masks I like gothy/kawaii/fantasy themed masks. My oldest mast is an all black on with gold studs along the edge. I'd love some more simple fashiony ones like that. Also used to have a fuzzy pink one with a giant plush lollipop on it. You could surprisingly still breath through it.
Journals or Sketchpads or Sketchbooks - yay or nay?
I DO need a new Journal, just haven't been able to decide on one yet lol. I plan to use it to document my great imp testing since I've managed to collect all but like 4 (soon to be all!) of the instock GC imps. I'm into doing bujo so looking for that sort of style.
Face masks (like the kind that come one to a package?
I say I like them but I never use them because it means 15-25 minutes without my glasses on OTL So I just keep accumulating a giant hoard for when I start taking my skincare more seriously again
Anything from Sock Dreams?
Unfortunately most of their socks don't fit me since I'm rather large. I have a 20.5" circumference just under the knee and most of their stuff for plus size stops at 18/19" The only stuff bigger seems to be the fleece socks and I can't wear that sort of texture on my feet.
Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks
omg I love the mermaid and pirate ones.
one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks?
Omg I love them, especially the kimono print ones. I have two kimono print masks right now and they're like my favorite (I have a lot of masks)
are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ? Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something.
I was not familiar with them but omg sooooooap. I'd love any of the soaps that fit my scent preferences and to lotion bars look really cool!
Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me!
The salty lemon kit kats are my favorite! I got a bag last year from a friend and I'm obsessed. Also I'll say it again. Daiso. Send me an entire Daiso store's worth of stuff. I love it all. Also love anything Tamamo from Fate.
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 love taking baths but unfortunately when I moved I downgraded from my parents jacuzzi to a normal shower/tub combo and I'm fat so not much room for water OTL Still take them but gotta be careful I don't overflow the tub.
Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)?
Hahahahaha oh man yes. I've been having to hold myself back from ordering everything lol. I'd love the Hex on a Beach lotion and scrub to go with my soap bar. Also the G.O.A.T. lotion, scrub, and candle. Oh and the Putney Road scrub!
Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)?
Deff interested in Snow Angel Atmo and The Froth of the Serpents of Pleasure BO
Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty
Um that metallic gold Osiris lip gloss is EVERYTHING. I love a good bold statement lip color. Also Ice Apparition. Ooooh and the Spider web whipped soap and the vampire tonic toner.
what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups? I even make things with berries I grow in my garden. I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla.
Interested?
Omg that sounds amazing! Pickles aren't my jam but everything else sounds wonderful.
Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just can't bring yourself to buy for yourself??
As of right now I can't think of anything.
Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself?
I'd love resin making supplies as they can add up quickly and I'm always running out lol, also I've been interested in soap making but don't have anything for it yet
Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)?
more like what DON'T I want lol. I definitely would love some vanilla. Also peppercorns, my pepper mill is almost out, shallots, orange peel, lemon peel, and any of the dressing bases.
would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders?

I'm not particularly interested in anything
What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific?
no again
Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you?
I always love more bar soap and scrubs! the lotion bar looks nice too. As long as the scent matches my preferences I'd love it.
I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s right now. Pics available upon request!
That sounds awesome! I love fluid art.
Is there anything you'd like from the UK?
Jelly Babies. Omg please send me all the jelly babies. Then I can taunt my dad on social media since I don't live with him anymore so he can't steal them from me.
Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from?
I collect all the Tamamo from Fate merch.
How do you feel about tea? Preferences? Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest? What about tea tools or cups?
I love tea but I'm kind of starting over since my mom kept all the tea stuff haha. So I need a loose leaf infuser. I'd also love a personal sized teapot with a strainer for when I want more than one cup at a time. I mostly drink black or herbal tea, I'm not big on white, rooibos, or green tea. One of my favorite places for tea is https://www.teabox.com/ They are based in india but they ship via DHL and I've ordered for my mom (she can't figure out the website for some reason) since the pandemic started and they're still pretty fast. Oh and I only have one tea cup/saucer.
How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?
As long as they're pet friendly! I only burn cone incense and I love candles but prefer ones in jars/containers. I LOVE Sihaya Co candles.
Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?
Yes! My roommate has the fluffiest, cutest, most best little ball of chocolate fluff Pom named Lando. He can't have treats because he has a sensitive stomach but he loves his plush toys. I'm also in the process of looking to adopt a dog so I will need to get him/her all the stuff but I'm still looking for the right one. They will be around pom size though so they can use the doggy door.
After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy!

I don't really use perfumes other than BPAL.
Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays? Is there anything in particular you would like to that end?
Honestly I've just moved so not sure what we're doing decoration wise. Probably nothing this year.
Would you like anything from House of Gloi, especially from their Autumn Update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)

Would you, my dear Witchee, like anything from April Gloom? https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilGloom (this is our @spookygrrrly - switch witch code coming soon to a spreadsheet near you.)
nothing really catches my eye
How about from https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com ? (This shop belongs to @twilighteyes - we can maybe crochet some of the unicorns that are sold out...)
I don't knoit or crochet but I could see the bags working really well for carrying my journaling stuff. I love the Big Black Kitteh project bag for knitting or crochet

Omg that art is GORGEOUS. I love Dusk Mother, Black Omen, and The Fox & The Crow
Are you a sock person? If so what are your favourite kinds to wear? Do you have a sockdreams wishlist?
Yes! My socks are always disappearing and wearing out so every fall I have to buy all new socks lol. I only wear ankle and crew socks. Though I am VERY interested in the thigh highs from this company: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThundaThighsShop?fbclid=IwAR3q-WK31oGZJHMX68mREt6QCd4ztItXYmeCrlz07lZ8LsMQZ9qFcTRoa5o a friend with similar sized legs to me bought a pair and loves them.
If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like?
I've honestly never been to a Trader Joe's so I have no idea what exclusive items they have.
How do you feel about local items from my city, like spicy (think chili) things or local coffee? The coffee is not spicy lol.
I'd love local coffees! Ground or kcup. For spicy things I describe my heat tolerance as being able to handle medium level JAPANESE spice. Which is milder than Indian medium spice. However my roommate has white girl spice tolerance (we're working on it) so anything spicy would have to be something I could eat by myself like a snack or dessert, or be something I could add to just my food after cooking lol
do you have good feelings about Funko Pop?
I hate them. Ugly little abominations that are an insult to figures everywhere lol
Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?
https://cantripcandles.com/collections (restocks Friday 9/18 at 9:00 PST): A Walk in the Woods 6oz, Brinewater Tides 6oz

Is there something from your fandom that popped up in another country you'd be particularly interested in? What, and what store?
Literally everything LOL. Considering my fandom is Fate/Nasuverse and is hence Japanese lol. But seriously any and all merch of Tamamo. There's also an art print of her on my etsy wishlist that I really want. Another thing I am desperately iso for is the Tamamo Gift plush. I know of a guy who has like three and I'm SO jealous.
Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ?
My question! And the answer is yes. I want all of it lol
Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference?
I answered this before on another question but my spice tolerance is right around a japanese medium hot. So a bit more than Indian Mild? My roommate however has no spice tolerance and I cook all our meals so I have to keep that in mind. I'm working on increasing her tolerance though since two years ago I had no spice tolerance either.

I am VERY interested in Booboo Eyes, Cannibal Lady Macbeth, Solved Mysteries, and Walking My Daughter to Class. I don't do decants personally (I get to sniff everything anyway since I decant) but any amount in bottle would be great.
How would you feel about recipes?
I love recipes! I've just started cooking on my own and while I'm mostly just doing Hello Fresh and easy pasta/frozen stuff in between right now I can't wait until I can grocery shop on my own and put together my own menu so I'd love recipes whether books or handwritten.
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.
Um fudge and nuts sound great.
How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess? If you've got a system, please share it.
I don't personally keep decants. Any I receive get tossed in my cup of frimping (it's a large plastic cup from the kalahari from my days of mass alcohol consumption at cons lol). GC Imps however are stored alphabetically in ammo boxes and I have a corresponding spreadsheet.
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 washcloths please, I have a ton of knitted ones already that I alternate through. A scarf would be very appreciated though. Thick without fringe. No fiber allergies. Colors, maybe somethin g to match my new awesome sunset wig that wear out when it's cold. (reds, oranges, purple)
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've actually never been to any of the Disneys so I have no idea what sort of exclusive merch there is nor am I an overly huge Disney fan
Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size?
Oh I like the red opaque mock garters and the sparkle skulls! I would be a size G
Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preference?
No preference here!
Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind?
I think I've answered this fairly thoroughly already in previous questions!
Witchee, do you want anything? Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlnemo
No thank you
Would you be interested in a gently-used tarot deck (or other oracle)? If so, toss out some styles you gravitate towards, cause I have SO MANY DECKS and I'd love to send one or more along!
YES YES YES!!! I like stuff that's either more anime-esque art style (not very fond of the harsh angles and lines in a lot of western art), watercolor stuff, or really abstract stuff. Oh and anything with foxes regardless of art style.
Are you interested in receiving a burned CD of music? If so, name of genres, artists, styles that you are into or would like more of to explore.
No thanks, my laptop makes scary noises when I put cds in it and I'm convinced it's going to destroy discs.
Do you have an Amazon wishlist? If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link!
Yes! Link is in my signature under wishlist which links to a doc with all my wishlists
Pumpkin/pumpkin spice – yay or nay? Yay in food/drinks but nay in other products (soaps, perfumes, etc.) or vice versa? What are your thoughts?
I like pumpkin spice flavored things and candles but not anything I'd put on my skin.
Candy corn – love it or loathe it? Or just don’t care much one way or another?
I'm pretty indifferent to it.

Ooooh I'll list ones I like out.
Fancy a Cuppa
Twice to Tea

SHORTBREAD YES PLEASE!!!!!!!! Savory and sweet, I love all shortbread. It was also my Mimi's favorite cookie so eating them always makes me think of her.

the other day I found the pattern I made for a small crocheted skull. I have made some before and included some herbs and oils and such, things that both smell good and are said to carry protective virtues, in the stuffing, and hooked them up to hang in a vehicle or such. Would any of y'all like one of those?
Oh that sounds really awesome!
is anyone a Daredevil fan?? I'm going to be working with Christopher Brewster who is Daredevil in the suit (i.e. the stunt performer but not the FACE of the actor... but when the suit is on... its Brewster). I worked with him on something else... and he was super cool... excited to get to work with him again... but if that's anyone's fandom... I wanna know LOL
Not particularly. I mean I liked the movie but that's the extent of it.
Darling witchee, would you like a candle or other goodies from Last Craft? https://lastcraftdesigns.com/
Oh I LOVE their face masks (pink witch and blank and white cat) I also like the Pop Culture Altar Candle: "Our Lady of Garbage”
Would you like anything from Future Primitive?
Type of products I'd like are body cream, conditioning hair rinse, whipped soap, and soap bars. Scents I like are Dust Witch, Opium Den, Pumpkin 'ead, Rook and Raven, Sparklebox, White Witch, and Bell Book & Candle. Also I'd love to try their shampoo bar as it's the first I've seen without SLS and SLES which my scalp is sensitive to.
Does anyone have a favorite horror movie that they love? Need a copy/DVD of?
I don't have any specific favorites but I love asian horror and dvds would be appreciated as long as they have subtitles/not just dubbed.
Do you like smallish knitted stuff (hats, fingerless mittens, scarves, toys, etc. -- be specific!)?
Yes! I love hats, scarves, fingerless mittens would be great as I don't have any.
Do any of these knitted items appeal to you?
I love 1, 3, and 5!
How do you feel about thrift store finds (assuming they're in good condition and have been thoroughly cleaned before shipping)?
I love thrift store finds!!
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'd love them!
Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands?
Yeah definitely!
Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated?
OH BOY YES! My wishlist is half Torrid clothes as they're one of the few places I can get alternative stuff in my size. My size is 2/3X depending on how fitted I want something to be.
What on the following list would you like to receive something related to (or have something donated to in your and Joni's honor?)
· animal rescue - YES
· pie - sure
· dogs - YES
· bears - eh
· turtles - as a donation sure
· inappropriate candies (either in shape or in contents—ex., boozy candies, creatively shaped peanut brittle…) - All the YES
I'll be going to Seattle, London and Paris during this round- anything you'd love to have from any of these locations?
I can't think of anything specific at the moment.
Is there anything you would particularly like from Japan? Stationary, bento supplies, a particular snack, etc. The fall flavors for kitkats this year are Chestnut, Sweet Potato and Apple Pie.
EVERYTHING. Bento stuff, sweets, I love senbei, cute stationery stuff, all the DAISO crafting stuff like clay and resin supplies (curses they didn't include that stuff in the new NJ DAISO!!). Local indie art/jewelry. Anything and everything relating to Tamamo no Mae from the Fate Series/Type Moon.
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?
We don't really have any of those stores near me so I'm not familiar with what they carry. If it aligns with my skincare/makeup likes though I'm sure I'd love it.
Also what kind of treats, snacks, foods, condiments, bulk items, teas, housewares from the same natural food stores would you love?
Again I'm not really familiar with those stores.
Also, are there any particular sustainable kitchen or household items you would love to receive?
Not that I can think of, we already have mesh produce bags and those silicone stretch lids to replace the cling film.
Did anything catch your eye from the Liliths?
I'm hosting a circle so I'm already getting to try everything/keep anything leftover I like
Would you like anything from Lush?
I'm starting to run out of conditioner so I'd love a bottle of Veganese. Also the Volcano foot mask.
Is there anything kind of weird and niche about which you feel this way, fellow witchees?
I collect really like fox themed stuff.
Kickstarter (and similar): Any thoughts, witches?
With how it's come out that the CEO is anti-union I probably won't be supporting future projects on the platform
Do you have an Etsy/Goodreads/Amazon or anything else wishlist you’d like to share?

And what’s your preferred wrist/necklace size?
my wrist circumference is 19.5cm and for necklace chains nothing shorter than 20"
Does anything from Bird & Blend take your fancy?
Ooooh that pumpkin spice chai looks nice. Also the peppermint cream milk oolong, and lady lavender. In loose leaf.
Knitting questions have have been asked, but how about washcloths, anyone need any? What colors??
Yes! I like jewel tones and pinks
is there anything from World Market that tickles your fancy?
I have to admit I'm not familiar with this store, I don't think we have them in my area
There's a special thing happening over at Rituel de Fille this weekend, where some gorgeous makeup items are coming back for just a couple of days. I'll be placing an order Sunday or Monday- anything that might strike your fancy, either from the special sale or from the site in general? (https://ritueldefille.com)
Corvus is gorgeous!
How do you feel about tarot or oracle decks? Would you be interested in any (for artwork or for mystical purposes)? New or used?
I love them but I'm pretty picky about art styles. I'm not into more abstract styles of art which I see on a lot of decks.
Would pigment samples from companies like M.A.C. or Notoriously Morbid tickle your fancy? If so, what colors catch you eye?
no thank you
Favorite quote/saying
Hmmmm, can't think of anything
How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit?
I only recently within the past year and a half started developing a spice tolerance lol. I can eat medium hot japanese curry! I'd say my upper limit is around 4,000.
How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom?
I love them!
Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy? Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y? And any interest in the "unusual" stuff?
All of the YES!! I'm a member of the AWA (American Wine Association) and I also love ciders, whisky, tequila, and various liquors. Midori is a huge favorite. Also I love Sake!
For wine I prefer whites and roses as I can actually finish a bottle on my own. I tend to lean to the dryer end but every so often I love something a bit more sweet. I do like sweeter reds but while I enjoy a dryer red with dinner I can never finish a bottle before it goes bad so I feel bad buying my own and generally just drink some of my parents if they have a bottle open.
With Sake I really like nigori sake. Also I adore various sparkling sakes. I've tried many varieties of sakes however and have so far liked them all. Oh and for the more obscure, Jelly Sake! It has little jelly pieces in it and is super fun to drink. Also I like Lambics! I only buy them occasionally since they're on the pricier side but they're a big favorite. My favorite of them is the Framboise.
A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable? (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.)
Any fiber issues?
Yes crochet is great! No fiber issues here either.
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!
Well I'm running a circle so I'll get to try and keep leftovers of a good chunk. I would definitely not mind full bottles of The Listeners, Flor de Muerto Hair Gloss, Come, Sister, Flesh of My Flesh, The Blood is the Life, A Wicked, Burning Desire Hair Gloss, Pumpkin Spice Dragon’s Milk Hair Gloss, Carotene, or Xanthophyll.
Nail Polish: Do you need or want some? If so, what colors and brands are you interested in?
I'm fine on nail polish, I actually need to slim my collection down.
What about postcards?
YES! I have a massive collection of postcards. I actually use one occasionally haha.
Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)?
Halloween 2020, Halloween Bastet and Anubis 2016, and Black Crow!
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?
I LOVE shortbread. Sweet and savory.
Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits?
Yes and yes! Currently I live with my parents and my mom has an extensive spice cabinet however sometime in the next six months or so I'm hoping to move in with a friend and said friend has the most sad and under stocked kitchen I've ever seen. I will need all the spices.
Would you wear any of these? (because I'm that nuts that I would try to make one in a month)
Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)?
I am living for those hooded cowls and scarves.
How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt.
I love salt!
Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever?
Hmmmm, I need a new shoe rack. My extended collection of my own shoes + cosplay shoes has exceeded the amount of space on current one.
What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites?
I'm not vegan
How would you describe your crafting style? Whimsical & Cute? Elegantly modern? Totally Traditional?
I switch between super cutesy/kawaii and more elegant modern.
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?
I'm not fond of relish or really much of anything pickled as I'm super not fond of vinegar. I did discover that I can eat pickled daikon the other day though! Very first pickled food I ever liked lol.
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?
Unfortunately not much is done. We don't get trick or treaters where I a live. I'd love to dress up again and decorate but where I am right now it doesn't really work out. Also yes please socks, every fall I have to buy all new socks because everything has gone missing or worn out from the previous year.
Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas?
I'd love some good herbal blends for relaxing!
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?
Sure! I love spicing up my hair. It's very short naturally but I have a nice shoulder length human hair wig (in pastel blue and purple) I can add stuff to.
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)
Omg yes I love these types of events. I see The Little Grass Hut is going to be there, I'd love one of their mugs, I actually just bought a pair of earrings from them at a similar type of event up in my area a couple weeks ago.
Enamel Pins
Yes I like them!
T-Shirt Size
Mens and unisex is 2X generally unless they run small. Woman's Fitted is 3X but I prefer unisex over fitted tees.
OCTOBER LUNACY! I know turn around time is unlikely, but just saying (JUST SAYING), dear Witchee, did anything catch your eye?
Hunter Moon and Moonflower and Orris both look great!
https://archaichoney.com/bloodmoonbotanica (Britton used to run Haus of Gloi.) Witchee, are you interested in any kinds of things from the Blood Moon Botanica update?
Not seeing anything I'd really like
also I took some beading classes and have been making bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Would you be interested in any? If so, how big is your wrist or how long would you like your bracelet? Any preferred styles of beads?
Sure! My wrist is 19.5cm.
If I was to donate to an animal rescue on your behalf as the "lucyboo" component of this swap, is there one in particular that you would choose?
Panda Paws Rescue! I've been following them on social media ever since their show started last year and I really respect the work they're doing.
What is your very favorite Halloween candy? If you don't have one/don't do candy, what's a seasonal treat you love?
I want to say Now & Laters but I can't eat them anymore with all the dental crowns I have ;A; So I'd have to say Reese's Cups. I especially like the seasonal shaped ones! Oh and smarties!
I just got an email from Lush that their Christmas stuff is now up online! anything you might like?
I'd love the Let it Snow Shimmer Bar, Happy Shower Gel, Galaxy lip scrub, Golden Pear bar soap, Snow Apple Bar Soap, Drummers Drumming shower jelly, and the Snow Fairy Knot Wrap.
If you were my witchee, would you enjoy home made (canned) preserves? I'm going home to Can All The Things & I'm thinking some bananas foster butter/sauce might be a nifty thing for you.
Um all of the yes! I would have to guard it fiercely though as my dad is a bananas foster FIEND.
I am in Las Vegas is there anything you would want from here?
I'm not sure, I've never been.
Would you like a postcard from the fancy schmantsy St Pancras Renaissance hotel that I'm about to stay in several times over the next month? that sounds great!
Does anything catch your eye from Future Primitive, including oos things? potagas cauldrons and surrender dorothy from the halloween collection sound amazing.
Speaking of OOS/Discontinued - Are there any old favorites from no longer operating companies that you would like if either anyone had a stash OR could find a reasonable dupe? I have been on the hunt for BPAL's Ozymandias. It is my most desperate of ISOs. Also if anyone happens to have any of the Lush Life's a Beach body scrub that was basically scented sand I LOVE it. I've been rationing the last of my container for years now.
Booze, yea or nay? Favorite kinds? Very much yea! I love sweet and semi sweet wines. I like vodka and rum, and any sort of fruity or floral liquor. For beer I like fruit beers and lighter beers. Also I LOVE sake. Nigori and sparkling sake are my favorites. Also jelly sake is really fun.
Knitted stuff? Need/want anything specific? Colors? I love knitted stuff! Especially hats and long scarves~
Feelings re: Lewis Carroll/Alice in Wonderland? I like it!
Are you thinking of participating in NaNoWriMo this year? Any merch or pre-Nano supplies you might want? No I'm not
I just recently discovered MoonMagic -jewelry with a focus on moonstones but also opals and labradorite. They currently have a sale. Anything that stands out to you? (moonmagic.com) I love Necklaces: Blessed Lunas and moon elixir Earrings: colliding moons, dos lunas, Rings: Dolphin Diver, enchanted teardrop, waves, spring bloom
Are you interested in anything from Nerdlacquer? not really, I'm pretty overstocked on nail polish.
Do you like quirky socks? Any preferred styles (ankle, thigh-high..)? I'm trying to transition to wearing tights more out and about as I've recently started wearing predominantly skirts. For when I'm at home however I'd love some cute ankle socks. I also love toe socks and fuzzy socks.
Let's get specific about this knitting thing! Do any of these items/styles appeal? I've numbered these so you can just reference numbers if you like! 2, 3, 4, 9 (I especially love this one as I have short hair with cut outs around the ears so my ears freeze in winter!), and 10!
If your witch was able to obtain digital media that you could not access (TV, movies, books, etc.), is there anything you have been in search of for quite a while? If yes, what devices do you use to play such (i.e. Windows, Mac, etc.; can you use a flash drive)? I am an avid fan of Air Disaster/Mayday but America is always seasons behind the rest of the world and finding reliable streams and downloads can be difficult. I use a macbook pro to watch and I can use a flash drive.
Do you need decanting supplies? Sample vials? Pipettes? Standard labels? A resounding YES! I'm currently drowning in pipettes but standard labels and sample vials get used up so quickly that I'm always in need.
Are you witchy or like witchy things like incense, sage, palo santo, crystals, tarot, altar supplies, candles, etc.? Whatcha like/need? I've been interested in starting to practice again. I haven't been a practicing witch since high school but I've been feeling increasingly called back but I'm starting over from scratch. So I pretty much need everything and lots of books. I like books.
Is there anything you want from Japan? Some kind of food, cute stationary, fandom merch, maybe you collect lucky cats, anything! Oh boy my favorite question! First off kit kats. I LOVE trying different types of kit kats. Also anything melon or black sesame flavored. I've been on the hunt for black sesame seed pocky for years, I know they were seasonal but I'm hoping they'll be rereleased. I also love plate/dishware (I have a subscription with kizuna box for just this reason), bento boxes and supplies, recipe books (google translate works great on recipes) and FGO/Fate/Type Moon stuff. I listed specific characters in my questionnaire. I also have not been able to get the latest FGO Character Materials book yet. Also you could just like raid a Daiso and I'm sure I'd love everything. Unfortunately I'm on the east coast of the US so we don't have any. I know they have a lot of cute plastic storage bins, a friend sent me one in one of her packages once and I'd really like more.
Can you link to your non forum wishlists/goodreads if you haven't already done so? https://docs.google.com/document/d/10lqJA0IvJ7MnI4apqBSBu-weziwH29tx_BYJ-7su6n0/edit?usp=sharing
If you're a yarn user, what kinds of yarn do you like best? I'm not a yarn user.
Spooky stuff! D'ya like... ghosts? Skeletons? Aliens? Bigfoot? Unsolved mysteries? Sure I guess, unsolved mysteries are definitely fun and I like ghost stuff.
Is there anything from the Lush christmas line that was just released that you're interested in? Snowflakes knot wrap, winter floral knot wrap, shoot for the stars bath bomb, holey night bath bomb, cherry christmas bath bomb
Is there any scents from the more current releases you have been wanting to try (Weenies, Motherhood/Fatherhood)? I ended up with only 2 decants of Support Your Local Queens after my circle but I really like it and would love to get more.
How do you feel about buttons, pins, and badges? I love them! I have fabric covered bulletin boards I keep them on
Practical Magic or Hocus Pocus? Hocus Pocus, I haven't actually seen Practical Magic
Does anything from either of these shops interest you? The Stitchety Witch (https://www.etsy.com...estitchetywitch) cross stitch creations and patterns Black Abbey Studios ( http://www.blackabbeystudios.com)art w/ a gothic tendency I love the art prints! My favorites are faithful friend, midnight magic, and triggered.
Is there something (either a specific item, or type of item, like bath/body, perfume, candy etc) you're really looking forward to or hoping to get? I'd love to get something handmade whether it's knitwear, an art piece, or food. What's something you want or look at, but always talk yourself out of buying (or for whatever reason never purchase)? I'm always looking at jewelry but I always end up not buying it for myself.
Are there any subscription/subscription style boxes you have an interest in?(This could be a very specific sub like sihaya or lootcrate or an idea/concept you're interested in without a specific company in mind, like "book related candles"). I currently have a subscription with kizuna box for their lifestyle box but I'd love to try their snack box as well. I'd also love to try a tea or coffee box (I have a keurig but have fill your own cups for ground coffee). I also like lifestyle boxes.
Coffee or Tea? Anything from David's Tea(esp the new Halloween) that catches your eye? Witch's Brew, the Lil Ripper Bottle, and the butterfly pea flowers from the halloween section look great! From the rest of the store Peachy Lychee looks to die for good.
What house were you sorted into? I'm a Slythinpuff! Even mixture Slytherin and Hufflepuff.
Anything from this curiosity shop the type of thing that interests you? Those cat skulls are awesome! I currently have a bobcat skull I got from a taxidermist years ago that sits on my bookshelf named Hissy lol. I also love those butterfly shadow boxes.
For those of us Switch Witches who ARE witches...….if you have a BoS would you like a page for it from your witch? I don't currently have a BoS
There are some really awesome spice shops in NYC. Would you like/need any herbs or spices? Big yes! Especially more unusual spices or herbs since we have a cabinet full of spices right now (but more is always great, my mom and I are addicted top Penzeys Spices!)
if you were my Witchee, would you like a crocheted doll related to one of your interests? I would love that!
Dear Witchee, assuming you are at least a little witchy, and you're into crystals/rocks - that's kinda my forte. Would you want me to put a collection of rocks/gems together for you? And if so, is there anything you'd want me to focus on? (health, peace, protection, creativity, love, etc...) Yes most definitely! Anything to help with stress and anxiety would be much appreciated.
