What are your thoughts on yarn and handmade yarny things?

 

 

For bath and body products: do you have a bathtub or shower?

 

 

Dear Swappee: is there anything you might have forgotten to put on your survey?

 

 

Are there any particular fandoms that you follow?

 

 

Do you own a wax/oil burner? (If no, would you like one?)

 

 

Would you like loose, fancy tea?

 

 

Incense, y/n?

 

 

What is your favorite fall activity?

 

 

I'm in Japan, anything specifically Japanese-y you want?

 

 

Please briefly describe (color, style, preferred type of beads) or provide a picture of (if it is suitable), the type of necklace (if any) you would be interested in getting. If you do not like necklaces, what kinds of jewelry (if any) would you want to wear?

 

 

What about hot chocolate/malt drinks?

 

 

If you said that you are interested in books (or DVDs or any relatively big standalone sort of item), would you be okay with having multiples of such items spread over a couple of days, or would you prefer 13 distinct themish packages?

 

How into the day theming mentioned in the first post are you? All themed? A few maybe if they are fun? Not at all?

Speaking of DVDs - are you interested in receiving movies and if so, what sort?

 

Back to the books - if you said you would like books, would you prefer I send you, say, my favorite Halloween anthology or something else spooky/scary, or something off your wishlist/want-to-read on goodreads?

 

Process question: Do you want to know who is sending to you right away, or would you prefer to be surprised on the last day, to the extent possible? Likewise, do you have a preference for specifically numbered packages or for reach in and grab according to your fancy?

 

Would you be interested in solid perfume? What about lip balm?

 

 

There was a lot of mention of not wearing costumes/not being allowed to at workplaces. Would you be interested in goth style or Halloween-themed(pumpkins, ghosts,etc.) normal clothes to wear instead, and what would be suitable?

 

 

I'm going to Rose City Comic Con during the shopping window. Any exhibitors/vendors/comics/etc. you're particularly interested in? OMG THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A GOONIES "NEVER SAY DIE" T-SHIRT! I AM TOTALLY GETTING THAT! Ahem. Yes. I mean... There are things! Are any of them particularly appealing to you and/or your inner twelve-year-old (mine is calling dibs on the Goonies stuff)?

Day of the dead/ Dia de los Muertos stuff?

 

 

Does anything from this shop catch your eye?

 

 

Dear Pumpkin: Do you have aversions to any animals or insects?

 

 

How do you feel about canned foods like jams and things along those lines?

Do you have a favourite colour scheme?

How do you feel about stickers (and stationery in general)?

 

 

How do we feel about fibercrafting (knit, crochet, etc.)? wearables? crafted critters? If you would like a scarf or something similar, would you like it to be themed, like fall colors, or have a skull or other halloweenie motif/border?

 

 

What makes you feel pampered?

 

 

We've covered what critters you don't like, but what about the critters that you DO like? What are your favorite animals/creatures, real or imagined?

 

 

Is there anything specifically Canadian you'd like? Maple things, chocolate bars, or any of our creepy chip flavours?

 

 

Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye?

 

 

Is there is any TAZO tea you have a hankering for? Zen, Awake, Passion, China Green Tips, Vanilla Roibois, Calm, Refresh? (tea bags in a tin)

How about any Teavana tea? (loose leaf)

How about Starbucks coffee beans? If so, ground (and for what kind of filter) or whole bean?

How about Starbucks coffee via (italian, columbia, anniversary, vanilla latte?) or Iced coffee via (caramel or regular?) Fruit flavored via (berry hisbiscus, cool lime, strawberry lemonade?) Pumpkin Spice Latte via?

Starbucks K-cups or Verismo pods?

Coffee/tea travel mugs or ceramic home mugs?

Coffee maker (french press) or tea steeper?

Anything else from Starbucks/Teavana? Syrups, honey, whatever?

 

How would you feel about a gently-used card game? For example, something I may have purchased several years ago and maybe played with my daughter *twice* before she became a moody teenager, and too cool for card and/or board games?

 

 

Alcoholic beverages in your goodies-- yay or nay-- if yay, what kind?

 

CANDY CORN--- YAY OR NAY?

 

 

Name at least one thing that you really wouldn't like to receive in your package.

 

 

I have eyeshadow pigments which have been decanted from--as in the powder tapped out into another container,never used directly. (I don't use very much makeup, though I love it, so I keep shadow pigments clean so I can safely share.) Would a jar of pigment handled thus bother you or are you ok with cosmetic-type stuff that has not been directly touched?

 

 

For those with fiber allergies, is it ok if you get, say, an ornament/amigur-whatsit yarn thing that has wool in the blend, as long as it's not something to be worn? Also, because I don't know, do people with wool allergies generally also have sensitivity to other fibers like alpaca?

 

 

Does anyone especially like or want anything from cost plus/world market?

 

Does anyone need any small kitchen items or utensils?

 

 

Dearest Pumpkin- do you have a preference of edible/drinkable vs. non edible items in your package? Would you prefer your package heavier on one side or the other?

 

 

Any guilty pleasures? TV show you're embarassed to admit you like? Musical group/preference that seems out-of-place for you?

 

 

And now, a new question: to sort of piggy-back onto the question about small kitchen items, do you like to bake or cook, and if yes, are there any special ingredients, spices, or decorations for baked goods (like sprinkles in seasonal shapes or those decorative picks you put on top of cupcakes, for instance) that you would like?

 

 

Hey, Pumpkin! How do you feel about lounge pants/pajama pants?

 

 

Do you have long, medium, or short hair? What kids of hair accessories do you like to use?

 

 

If I were going to the mountains tomorrow, for the apple harvest, would you wanted some dehydrated apple rings???

new question from me! how do you feel about music? would you like some? if so, what would you be interested in & in what format (do you still have somewhere to play CDs, or would a flash drive be better, etc)?

 

If you have an Etsy favorites list, are all of the things on the list things you'd be happy to get, or are some of them gift ideas for other people, or stuff that you've already bought and loved but don't need more of, or for any reason not something you'd want to get in this swap?

 

 

Are there any scents from the Lilith update you would like ? Any other you are looking for ?

 

Do you like Hello Kitty?
