Christmas Swap Help

Can I make you a scarf/cowl/sweater/lap blanket to keep you wintery-warm!?
Absolutely!

Do you like to receive plants or gardening stuff? Do you grow plants? What's your favourite flower, if you have one?
Yes, I would love something like that. I'm currently trying to keep a couple of herbs and a miniature rose alive. I do love roses.

How do you feel about knit socks? (Plain stockinette, lacework, cables, etc). Are there any other hand knit items you'd especially like? (Mittens, fingerless gloves, hats, etc).
No mittens and I probably wouldn't wear hats. But socks are good, and I love fingerless gloves.

What kind of snacks do you like?
Cheese, nuts, olives, peppers, jerky . . . Whatever doesn't have a lot of sugar or carbs right now would be awesome, especially with the holidays!

What sort of dollar store items do you always get a kick out of?
No idea . . . Sometimes I find really fun decorations for the holidays there. And I can always use battery-powered candles.

If there's one place you could go in the world, where and why?
I'd go back to London!

If you had a custom perfume/beauty/bath product made for you, what would it be and what would the scent description look like?
I would love a hair gloss, maybe with very good vanilla.

If you could commission an art piece, would you choose traditional or digital artwork- and what would it be of?
Either, probably a literary theme.

When it comes to makeup, what is your coloring? Fair, dark? Sensitive skin? Eye color? Hair color? Style....funky, natural? Any additional makeup info?
Fair with sensitive skin, green eyes, long brown hair. Picky about cosmetics, but I do like nail polish if I can get it to stay on! I don't do artificial nails or eyelashes.

Christmas decor this year:
Just moved into a new apartment, so I don't know how much I'm going to have handy *to* decorate. (I have some space, though.) I do still get a kick out of Charlie Brown Christmas decorations, no matter how cheesy they get. I love retro, old-fashioned, Victorian, pretty much anything . . . Are there Gothic Christmas directions? Also, I need more Krampus in my life.

Is there any craft or hobby that you are interested in trying?
I don't have a ot of time for new crafts and hobbies, although I've been thinking about making candles. (Random, I know!)

Would anyone mind bath and body works items? Such as hand sanitizer, lotion, candles, car scents or soap? I use the sanitizer all the time. I have a lot of their lotions already, but hand soap, candles, sprays, and their lip care items.

Any Lush showergel (or other product) you'd like to try? I sort of collect their showergels, mostly from The Kitchen. So if there's anything you'd like to try, now's the time to tell! I adore their "Silky Underwear" and "T for Toes" has just about saved my relationship! There are a lot of Lush products I haven't tried, however, including showergels. I can't use bath bombs right now, but anything for the shower is great.

Do you like licorice or would you like to try it? Would you prefer salt or sweet? Not crazy about licorice itself, although Possets' Liza and Venus Black are two of my favorite scents ever.

I live in The Netherlands but I will visit England soon and might pay a visit to Germany. Anything special from here that you'd like to try?
I can't think of anything . . . Except maybe airline tickets!
is you BPAL wishlist updated? If not: please do! I just updated. Still waiting on most of my Halloween and Lilith decants, however, so that could change.

Oh, and maybe, just in case, I should answer my own question! As far as sweeteners go, stevia is my friend right now. I can also do Splenda/sucralose about twice a week. Sugar alcohols in very small doses are also OK.

Books in a series-- in order? I prefer books in order, but if you say they can stand alone, I believe you!
