Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following?

I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time.   The letters and details are gorgeous.  I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you?

~I don’t think I’d be too into it. A cool idea, though! 
 

I make junk journals and paper crafts.  I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing.  It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods.  Would you like to receive one?  My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion.

 

~Would be glad to get a journal! Any style sounds fun, vintage Halloween? 

 

Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ?
 

~Apple Milk, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Spider Silk in body butter (!), Scrub or Candle… hair oil, sure. Cozy Sweater is also of interest. Would probably enjoy Cozy Pumpkin, the more I think of it. Adding The Little Hedgehog, as I just read a favorable review.

 

Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to?

 

~definitely my big four~bats, moths, snakes and cats (big or little), spiders are brilliant, love me some dragons, griffins, selkie, and have a strong curiosity of the Fae. I’m into most creatures, to be honest, and it’s always fun to be surprised by my loves or a cool new friend to commune with! 
 

Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interested in: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion

 

~I don’t see anything that’s for me.

 

As many of you know, one of my baking specialties is eclectic varieties of shortbread. I think I made pumpkin lavender shortbread for someone last year, I've done spiced orange, chocolate orange, lavender peppermint (a surprising hit that I now make annually). I could do something with rose, a wide assortment of spices, citrus rinds, etc. Anything sound interesting (as an early reveal day zero gift most likely)?  

 

~Yum! Orange & spice sounds awesome, if a peach & cardamom is possible that’d be amazing. Honestly though, I’d enjoy any flavor. 
 

Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one?

 

~Yep! Prefer soy/coconut/beewax ones, but I’ll probably use any of them. 

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush?

(I have a whole slew of things from recent sales, like gift boxes with Sleepy scented products.  They are good until 2026.)

 

~hmm, not sure. I had a bar shampoo I liked from Lush & Would use any bath wash. Not sure if

other products would be something I like, but I’m willing to try. 

 

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam?

~yesss love peaches (& berries) & jam!  

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables?

 

~You know, I would normally pass, but I just looked Squishables up and saw this green dragon moth and swooned lol so cute! Yeah, any cool creature would be welcome. 

Plus, I have four children, they’d be happy to help take care of any plushie I receive. 
Also, we named our car “Marshmallow” and I have a green bat Squishable key chain hanging from the mirror, since it is like a marshmallow animal & it’s basically Halloween season. 

 

Do you like caramels?   We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets.  Any of these flavors sound good?  https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy

 

~not a huge fan of caramels, but I’m tempted to try the absinthe & black salt flavor. So interesting! 

 

My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?   Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.

Technically he makes a lot of "melomel" which is mead with fruit (blackberry, huckleberry, blueberry, raspberry) and sometimes "cyser" which is a melomel made specifically from apples.  Also sometimes he does "metheglin" which is mead made with spices and/or herbs -- like chocolate orange peel (made with cacao nibs from Theo Chocolates.)  I keep trying to get him to make a rose or lavender vanilla bean one for me.

 

 

~ Don’t drink currently, so no alcohol. 

 

We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?  Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.

Roses and lavender are both from our organic garden, no spray.

 

 

~ no alcohol  (through they all sound delish!)

 

Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?  Local coffee, smoked salmon (vacuum sealed and shelf stable),  local tea (Friday Afternoon Tea, Market Spice, etc.),  local chocolate (Theo Chocolates, Maeve Chocolates, Boehm's Chocolates, Frans (also salted caramels), etc.), Huckleberry scented or flavored things, lavenderscented or flavored things (there are SO MANY lavender farms here), honey, Seattle mug/shot glass/postcard/keychain, blown glass ornament or pike place pig, spice from spiceology, Bigfoot / sasquatch related items, Dick's Drive In kitsch, grocery bag that has PNW on it, something from Pike Place Market or the Space Needle, Liberty Orchards items (like aplets and cotlets), etc.   

 

 ~ oooh Salmon sounds awesome! Wouldn’t want anything that’s a tourist type trinket, but I love food and treats and herbs, so would be happy to receive something you think is delicious & want to share. Honey, tea, chocolates are big favs. I also cook lot so spices would be happily used up! 

 

Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates?  Which flavors?  https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? 

 

~ a quick scan, Mex Hot chocolate, salted toffee crackle(!), mint (!) or Pikes Place Espresso all would be gobbled up

 

Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like?   (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.)

 

~love toffee, hard candies to eat as I do chores (my “get to work” bait lol),

I like fudge, but recently got some that tasted like the store’s air conditioner, so a little bummed about that. Would be into some that isn’t sitting on a counter all day 

 

If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners?  How about stevia?  Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/.

 

~ no sugar free for me

 

How many food items would be too many for yourpackage?   If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc.  is this a bad thing?   

 

~ happy to recieved as much as you want. lol I so lush when it comes to food. 
 

Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps?

 

~ I like to use cool cigar boxes for some storage, so another one or two of those would be great. 

 

Is there a tarot deck calling your name? 

~The Astro Magician’s Taro

Earth Magick Tarot

Terra Volatile tarot

Rosebud Tarot (I just swapped for the corresponding scent!) 

Yokai Tarot

Folklore Oracle

 

Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? 

 

~Crew length, trying to transition to natural fibers, but I’ll rock what ever you send. I love pretty, cool, wild, mystical, delicate… any patterns! 
 

Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. 

 

~Sure! I’d probably send it on to my daughter(s), but I love getting them into cute things. 
 

How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts?  I make them from thrifted sweaters.  Wearable art.  Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd  love to make for you.I have a trip to make cross town to pick up something.  Then it'll be wrapping time!

 

~I’m open to it. Doesn’t stay cold here long, but I’m hoping we’ll travel more in the future to some snowy places. And in any case, they’ll get used for a little while every year. Colors…. Autumn-ish colors (golds, reds, oranges, browns), dark greens and purples…. I like any colors, though, so whatever looks real cool is good with me! 
 

Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden?

 

~yep!
