</p>

<p>
	  No thanks
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>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 &amp; 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?</strong> Slippers would be amazing, so would arm or leg warmers. I also love those rope bowls.
</p>

	<b>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). </b>I would, something smaller that is easy to pack with my other artwork for moving would be great.

<p>
	<b>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. </b>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. <b> <br />
	 </b>

</p>

<p>
	<b>  </b>
</p>

<p>
	<b>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. <span> </span></b>I am tragically allergic to coffee these days. <span style="font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;">☹</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<b>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.  </b>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.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<b>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.  </b>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.

<p>
	<b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;">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.

</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<b>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?  </b>That sounds Really interesting! I would enjoy reading it.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<b>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. </b>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.

<p>
	<strong>Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like?</strong><br />
	I like her hair and perfume oil, Bath strusel, hot process soap, sugar scrub,  <br />
	Demeter forsaken, Jack of the Woods (not the hair oil), Let me in Your Window, Nightwalker,  <br />
	Putney Road, Libby and Lavender soap.  
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like?</strong><br />
	I would adore knit or crocheted wrist warmers, and an embroidered witchy kitty would rock.
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any  <br />
	such homemade goodies?</strong><br />
	I love all kinds of handmade goodies!
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>Would you like a small watercolor painting? I’m taking 3×5”. If so, would you like it  <br />
	based on your preferred Halloween motifs or something else?  </strong><br />
	Something like a witchy cat or cute ghost could be fun or a still life with a pumpkin and  <br />
	black flowers could be really cool too. I'm also a sucker for ravens .
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>I make light-weight hair falls ( I can do single or double, if you have a preference for  <br />
	pony tail or pig tails)- I make them out of things like soft yarns, up-cycled silk and bits  <br />
	of lace. Is this something you'd like? If so, tell me up to three colors and a length in  <br />
	inches you'd like.</strong><br />
	I wish I'd known you in my long hair days because I loved hair falls. The mohawk goes un-adorned however.  
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update?</strong><br />
	Apple milk, cozy pumpkin, Persephone’s descent, Samhain, violet moon, Kitchen Witch,  hex
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>Pumpkin butter, hair oil, perfume oil, soap, scrubbing bubbles, refresher spray,  <br />
	How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update?</strong><br />
	Shadow raven, ghost stories!, eternal necropolis Shabah, eternal netherworld, El Diablo,  <br />
	Sacerdos, Masquerade Set, black amber incense, black patchouli amber incense, black  <br />
	rose amber incense!, 31 Bats Morticia, Resurgence- Masquerade Anubis, NEFER, AMAR,  <br />
	WASIM, 31 Bats Count Diablo
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 9/8/2024<br />
	<br />
	<strong>Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate?</strong><br />
	<br />
	 dairy free Dark please, I prefer 70-85%.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck?</strong><br />
	<br />
	 It would depend on the theme. I have several decks but I could make room for the right one.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>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?) </strong><br />
	<br />
	I love English teas, especially a good Earl Grey. I'm totally happy with a Darjeerling, Assam or Ceylon too. I also wouldn't mind tea towels or cute things that are also useful. I'm not a huge Disney fan, but I think Belle is my favorite princess.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles?</strong><br />
	<br />
	 I looove candles and there are a bunch on my Etsy wishlist. My scent preferences on candles are really similar to perfumes. Woods, smoke, incense,  resins,  florals, vegetal, leather, and such. No vanilla.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>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!)</strong><br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	I have a pretty stringent skincare routine that I'm happy with, so no thank you.<br />

	Let's talk earrings.  Pierced?  Stud, dangly, hoop?  Any ear wire preferences?  Large or small?  Other preferences?</strong><br />
	<br />
	 I wear 2g silicone tunnels. I have a couple of colors but I wouldn't mind more. I can also put hoops or ear wires through my tunnels. I don't typically wear jewelry think.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>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?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Hmmm... I think I lean slightly towards being spoiled and getting a big thing with smaller other things.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Maple spiced nuts and the organic maple butter
</p>

	<strong>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?</strong><br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	I love how they look and they would have gone perfect in my former work wardrobe. These days I would only wear them on special occasions.
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	<strong>Would you like anything from sock dreams?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	I used to have a wishlist there, but now they've gone to shopify. <span><img alt=":(" data-emoticon="" src="https://www.bpal.org/uploads/emoticons/default_icon_sad.gif" title=":(" />  If I can't figure out how to link my wishlist, I will add more items here. </span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<span>For now,  a quick standout are the new disability pride roll top crew socks. I'm a size M/L</span><strong>. </strong>I would also love a pair of the NZ bed socks in navy or emerald. I used to have a pair that lasted many years before getting too many holes. The wool fingerless gloves look cozy,  I like the cinder color.

	Would you be interested in a spooky mini waffle maker or spooky playing cards?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	No thank you. I could use a full size waffle maker though and I wouldn't mind if they were pumpkin shaped or such.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>Does anything from SnagTights strike your fancy?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I have wanted a pair of their chub rub shorts for a long time.I really like the Nightwalker (bats) design I'm a size F<strong>. </strong>I also like the lunar Capri tights,  the ACOTAR bow before none tights, and the Hecate tights<strong>.<br />
	<br />
	What about from Michaels or JoAnnes?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I will look through their seasonal offerings and update this response.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>do you like Ren fairest?  Might there be a fun little thing I should find for you there?</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I used to go every summer, but now it's really difficult for me. I am sure there are things I would love. Incense, jars, empty journals,  and other such.<br />
	<br />
	<strong>9/14/2024<br />
	<br />
	Weather permitting I'll be going to a witchy Florida themed night market next week! Is there anything you may want from it? </strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Sure! I have no idea what they'll have but I'm certain there are things I might love. Like Florida official Florida water? Incense,  smudging things, candles, items for my altar and so on.

	More raven themed items for my Morrigan alter, Morrigan themed items,  bones, <br />
	<br />
	<strong>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 &amp; 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. </strong>
</p>

<p>
	I always love unique teas! I am a recovering yarn hoar and not buying myself yarn,  but if it was gifted... I love rocks and gems, garnet are my favorite, but moonstones , labradorite, onyx, obsidian, jasper, amethyst.. ah yeah.. just anything is great. Lol! I would love a proper quill and ink to play with, I'm a sucker for for journals, runes, books on plants, herbarium, green Witchcraft, hedge witchery, cottage witchery or kitchen Witchcraft are welcome. Check out my Amazon list for ideas.
