Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty

El Cucuy Candle

Black Phillip Candle

Dame Ultra Hydrating Body Lotion

Mercy or Tart Lip Gloss

Gensing and Chamomile Gel Mask or really any of the skin care things... they all look awesome...

Whipped Shea Body Butter

Whipped Lavender Body Butter

 

9/2/20

 

Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks

 

one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? 

 

All of those are cute but I don't NEED more masks... which isn't to say I wouldn't appreciate another one...

 

9/1/20

 

are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ?  Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something

was not familiar but am now quite interested in their lotion bars...

 

8/30/20

 

Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me!

I want all the kit kats LOLZ

I'm not terribly into anime and I feel like I never use cute stationary (although I HAVE been meaning to take up letter writing so... perhaps I should say send me some LOL)... I don't know what "other snacks" to ask for... but I'm always down for fun beauty tools and I feel like Japan has such a great bathing culture that there are fun beauty things we don't have in the US... 

 

What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries.

Honestly... sleeping and reading are my current favorites... 

I really want a silk pillowcase (supposed to be good for the hair and mine is stupid crazy long) and I always hesitate to buy myself kindle books... I don't know why LOL

 

8/29/20

 

Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)?

Shaving Soaps in Blackbird, Hex on the Beach, or Whiskers

Bookkeeper's Butter

The Nihilist Goat Milk Cream

any of the lotions, really, or the scrubs... I received some Abnoba Sorbetto a few years ago and loved it...  most of their scents look good to me, honestly.

 

Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)?

Nothing is jumping out at me but I haven't thoroughly looked 

 

What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. 

So... I love foot masks because I stopped going to salons to get pedicures because of COVID and haven't returned because a) Texas is scary outside of my house because its very peopley and not always so masky and b) because I've really utterly stopped giving a fuck because I don't go anywhere or see anyone unless I book a gig and my gigs require close-toed shoes LOL

but I bought the Ampoe Pedi Perfect on Amazon back when this all started... and it came with these amazing foot masks which I loved... but I somehow wont bring myself to buy more of them... even though they are totally NOT expensive.


9/5/20

 

what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups?  I even make things with berries I grow in my garden.  I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla.

Interested? I would definitely be interested in any of the above... just no tomatoes LOL

 

Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round?  For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself?? I already covered this when I asked... but I need a good lotion.

 

Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? I don't really HAVE hobbys... but...I'm down to receive crafty stuff or things I can't make myself... things I can't make are probably better because if you send me craft stuff I'll probably never craft it LOL

 

Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? not specifically but am also unfamiliar with their stuff so...I'm down to try

 

9/8/20

 

Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/  (They also do masks, see here.)  

 

If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn?  And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? not applicable as I don't knit or crochet...

 

what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? a kindle gift card... I'm trying to read more books and watch less netflix and I LOVE my kindle

 

If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? not a clue... depends on what I needed at the time... candles maybe, or organizational things for my house??  IDK

 

9/9/20

 

would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders? I'm always down for pins and patches... I don't actually cross stitch (although I really want to learn)

 

9/11/20

 

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? health care??? citizenship so I don't have to worry so much about the upcoming election?? beyond that I don't know what to ask for 

 

Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? nothing comes to mind

 

How do you feel about tea?  Preferences?  Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest?  What about tea tools or cups?  I am not a tea person.  I do occasionally drink it/enjoy it but I'm not really into tea like a lot of folks here are

 

How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?  LOVE!!!!!  yes please!!!!!

 

Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  2 human boy roommates (one of whom is my Hoochie Coochie Man, the other is just a long time roommate who is now like family) a fluffy white Biscuits (please go follow her on Instagram @fluffywhitebiscuits) a Maia chat, and two snakes named Fluffy and Kai.  They all like treats... except the snakes... they mostly just eat their rats and like it that way.


9/12/20

 

Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? 

 

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific?

 

Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you?

 

I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s  right now. Pics available upon request! 

 

After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy!

One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies.  I don't have a slipper I love yet, but I'm working on it.   So, which of these things might you like?  Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size.

 

I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in?

How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop?  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HollysRainbow -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)? have never tried it but it looks amazing... anything that is caramel-esque in flavor (I know she doesn't make caramel exactly but there is one that I think is of a similar flavor profile)... or really anything but peanut butter... I'm not allergic to it I just mostly only like it in reese's/justin's PB cups

Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays?  Is there anything in particular you would like to that end? I have a very strict no decoration policy in my house.  That said... Halloween-y things that can stay up all year because my place looks like a cheerful mausoleum are most welcome

Would anyone be interested in anything from Bucees?! It’s a magical giant beaver gas station/shop! It has spices, fudge,  Knick knacks, all things Texas, candy, beef jerky, roasted nuts, and of course beavers! Most things like the fudge and nuts are made in house.  as a native texan I love me some Bucees... but I can also get it myself so... super not necessary

 

9/20/20

 

How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess?  If you've got a system, please share it. I don't do imps/decants so I don't have that problem

 

9/21/20

 

I'm a knitter.  I have some knitted washcloths done, and can knit up more.  Would you like some?  Also, if answered soon enough, I can maybe get a scarf done.  Would you like one?  What colors would you like?  Thin or thick?  With or without fringe?  Are you allergic to any fibers - wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca?  not allergic... don't really use traditional washclothes and scarves aren't something my texan girl self knows HOW to wear but I also don't OWN any so... 

 

Witchee, darling, there's a *slight* chance I might be going on a trip next week and *might*, in the course of this trip, have access to Disneyworld goodies from Epcot and Magic Kingdom - any stuff you might desire?  I'm not super into disney

 

9/22/20

 

Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size?

Witchee, do you want anything?  Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlnemo

 

Would you be interested in a gently-used tarot deck (or other oracle)? If so, toss out some styles you gravitate towards, cause I have SO MANY DECKS and I'd love to send one or more along!


Are you interested in receiving a burned CD of music? If so, name of genres, artists, styles that you are into or would like more of to explore.

 

Do you have an Amazon wishlist?  yes but I'm having amazon issues at the moment... long story... but my computer doesn't want to let me log in... to get it for you

 

Pumpkin/pumpkin spice – yay or nay?  Yay in food/drinks but nay in other products (soaps, perfumes, etc.) or vice versa?  What are your thoughts? PS: nay in general.  I don't hate it but its definitely not my favorite.  straight pumpkin is pretty yummy...

 

Candy corn – love it or loathe it?  Or just don’t care much one way or another? not a fan but not hostile towards it... I don't eat it... but I don't condemn those that do 

 

9/23/20

 

https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea  <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie?

 

I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys.  I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies.  Any interest? I LOVE Caramel ... like way more than chocolate... I LOOOOOOVE caramel.... and I love old fashioned sugar cookies and shortbread
