Are you a big ol' nerd for any particular subject? Science, math, linguistics, etc? Or particular authors/fandoms?

I have a bit of a nerdy thing about fungi which makes my friends laugh. I'm a microbiologist during the day and I like to look for fungi when I'm out and about. I don't have any fandom type things.

Does anyone have issues with gently used things like books, etc.?

No, not at all.

Do you have a strong preference for any sort of bath and body product brands (i.e. etailer/etsy type cos, department store/specialty brands like Lush) or are you cool with anything that doesn't smell like Bunnybane? I like trying Etsy stuff, I'm fairly happy trying anything new.

A question: reveal, yes or no?

Yes please.

Any favorite cuddly characters?

No, I think I'm a bit old for that

Charity gifts? Either fair-trade type stuff, or virtual type gifts, like vaccinations or school supplies being bought on your behalf, or something along those lines?

I do all my family (not children) holiday shopping like this, we exchange charity gifts and buy cards etc from places like The Woodland Trust, RNLI , Oxfam and Traidcraft

Bunny, are you interested in tarts from Two Timing Tart? What scents, if any, are you interested in?Interested , happy to try any scents

Do you need any holiday recipies? Is there something in particular that you'd like baked or made for you? And for those of you doing the no sugar/low sugar, etc. thing these days, how about savory things?

Recipes are good, if I can translate them into metric. I use Delia's Christmas for indulgent holiday cooking

Do you like/need boxes for perfume/knicknacks?

I can always use a box or two, I have way too much BPAL so I shouldn't really get more boxes as I will fill them up.

Nano-ing:

Is that the writing thing? If so , no.

facebook/twitter:

I have a Facebook account, under my real name, don't use it that much.

If I were to send you chocolate is there anything I should avoid as in nuts, cherries etc.? Also, what are some of your favorite holiday candies? Chocolate is always good unless it is alcohol flavoured or Hershey's.

Does anything from Fusion Sweets interest you?

Some of the caramels in yummy flavours sound good,marshmallows I'm not so keen on and the postage to the UK is expensive.

Interested in anything from the Elements and Artifacts Yule update?

I have some lovely earrings that I was gifted with in the last SW round, I like lots of things, they are a little pricey though.

If your fox/bunny were to gift you with a giftcard from anywhere, as in any store foodwise, music wise etc. what giftcard would you like? Don't know, maybe Amazon.

If I were to place ONE LAST Weenie order, (uh, which I will) what would you want me to include for you? (presuming that is that the order can get here in time, bites nails)? I'm starting my testing tonight.

Will you be away for any part of the round? Unlikely, possibly a night away with my youngest first week in December, may even take a few days right at the end of the round as I have a scary birthday with zero at the end just after the round finishes (half the age it says on my profile page)

Anyone else with an Etsy store and a member of Tradeaholics (or you could join) and interested in bartering for gifts for their bunny?

No Etsy, not a crafty being.

What type of books do you like? Dying to read anything?

I do have some on Amazon list.

Rose/mastic flavored things? Rose, meh, mastic never tried, Turkish delight is un-delightful to me

:(

i live in the city of the chicken wing. if i were to send you something savory, what's your heat tolerance (or sweet and heat for that matter)?

Please no chickens, they wouldn't be liking the journey and I am vegetarian. I like hot food generally , spicy is good.

Honey/beeswax?

Yes, why not?

Trader Joe's?

I know nothing about this store, I keep seeing the name on the forum.

Holiday movies:

Can't think of any

Superheroes:

Not really.

would you like a Paintbox from Paintbox Soapworks? If so, which scents?

I've been lucky enough to get one in Switch Witch last year, all the scents were lovely.

Would my bunny like anything in particular from Lush? I do have access to an actual Lush store, and also wouldn't mind ordering retro items online. Lush is much cheaper here in the UK and we have a shop in Cambridge

Cocoa Pink? Never tried.

Anybody into nail polish? Any color or formula preferences? No only wear on my toes and not that often

If you found a $50 bill on the ground and were to place a Lab order, what would be in it? (And shipping is free through the magical BPAL unicorn!)

I just got my weenie decants today so I'll get back to this after I've had some sniffy time

:) I have way too many bottles as it is

00000288.gif

Tim Tams? I wouldn't mind trying them.

Talk to me of coffee. Whole bean? Ground? Flavored, not flavored? Decaf, whole caff? Favorite roasters? Drip, french press, keurig? BRING ON THE TEA? I like tea, I prefer it plain black, with occasional departures into the flavoured varieties. I drink coffee too

Who else here loves or would like to try Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics? If so, what would you like?

Never tried

Would any Bunny like to receive Holiday serving bowls, trays, platters etc...? Winter/Christmas or Thanksgiving/Fall themed? No thank-you

I know some people are squicked out at the idea of eating things that other people make, or the thought of deep fried cookies sends them into cardiac arrest. If you were my fox, would you like to receive some homemade goodies, or would you prefer that your goodies came from the store? Not squicked, homemade or shop are good.

My lovely fluffy Snow Bunny, would you like a bodyscrub made by me? If so, what scent(s) would you like, if you had to think along the lines of essential oils? And would you prefer sugar or salt? A dryer scrub or one that's more oily/moist? I would love a scrub made by you, I am not an expert so no idea about the questions.

Dear snow bunny, do you like candles? if yes, then what kind? scented (what scents), unscented, what colors, do you like them plain/painted on the outside/with decorations attached to the surface/sculpted?

Also what do you think of little soaps? Candles in moderation, like tarts too and soap.

Socks! Slippers! Do you love them or not really wear them? If you love them, do you also love Sock Dreams? Never had anything from sock dreams, don't wear long socks just the ankle type, which are always welcome, as log as they accommodate fat feet and ankles

:)

Do you do a Christmas tree? If yes is it themed or specially colored or do you just have all different ornaments and such?We have a tree, non religious, with an assortment of baubles collected over the years, some handmade, no theme whatever.

Would you like a special ornament?

I just joined the ornament swap.

Is there any sort of regional food/drink/treat you miss or have always wanted to try? Lots of regional goodies sound exciting . I guess it depends where you are sending from.

hey swap partner...could you use a new mug? A new mug for work would be appreciated, my colleague is an angel and always makes my tea for me and my mug is past it's best.It could be difficult to post.

Do you like knitted goods? If so, what would you like, what colors, and do you have any sensitivites or preference when it comes to type of yarn (ex: wool: yay or nay? Do you prefer machine washable materials? Do you not care?)?

Of course I like knitted things, blue is always my favourite, I prefer washable and non-itchy, scratchy but I know very little about types of yarn.

I live near a brick and morter location for a really, really good spice store. would you use cooking spices and if you would, what would you need? (it's penzey's if you want to google it).

In the UK we get lots of great spice mixes from India and Pakistan, I'd love to get Spice mixes from wherever you are.

Someone has gifted you a $20 gift card from walgreens to ONLY use on things for yourself. no necessities here. what do you buy?

I google-d the store and found that I would buy some Burts Bees stuff and Reeses Peanut butter stuff or Peanut Butter M&Ms

Bunnies, how do you feel about lemon-flavored items, like lemon marmalade, lemon curd, lemon pound cake, or lemon cookies? I love lemony flavours.

pink?Oh no thank you

icon_sad.gif

"fingerless mittens or full mitts?

Probably fingerless

But the question then becomes, do you want all 12 feet worth of Tom Baker scarf? No thanks, I knitted two when I was 17 (when Tom baker was the current Dr Who!!)

Do you like snow and wintery scenes?Not if I have to drive somewhere

Bunny, could you use a 2012 calendar, and, if so, do you like big monthly ones or the page-a-day type?

I don't think I'd use it, sorry

Do you prefer dark or milk chocolate? Both,milk slightly more

Do you like artisan oils and vinegars? I do like fresh pressed olive oils, that would cost too much to post.:What are your opinions on traditional holiday cookie flavorings? I'm thinking anise and cardamom in particular.Cardamom is one of my favourites, not so keen on anise.

Any crafty pursuits you've been dying to experiment with? Would you like a little kit of something you've never tried? Do you need any particular items for your new or existing stash? just bought a whole load of soap making stuff, I haven't tried it out yet.Maybe it won't work

00000288.gif If your fox were to knit something for you, would it be a lacy shawl or a pair of socks? Inquiring foxes want to know! Socks

Would anyone else be interested in a soap dish or something like that? I don't think I'd use it.

chile, yay or nay? Yay

Would you rather have an early reveal, or would you prefer one close to the end of the round?

Whatever makes my Fox happy.

How do you feel about cherries? Prefer the sweet or tart versions? Dried? Jam? Salsa? Hot sauce? BBQ sauce?
