Ok, In order to help my witch out, I have stopped being lazy and will keep my answers in my blog from now on :) 

 

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?  Not this time, thanks.

Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)  Not really, thanks.

I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) I am pretty stocked up on tea at this point.

 

Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?  New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks.  I love their sorbettos and Jack of the Woods appeals to me.  I also love the Clean slate facial scrub and the bookkeepers hand salve. Tiger paste hand scrub looks excellent as well (my hands and cuticles are a disaster!)

 

Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 I do like their pumpkin butters a lot.  The scents that I'd be interested in are Ghost puffs, Olde Cider Haus, Scarecrow, or Pink Bubblegum.

Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?  I updated my wishlist in my signature :) 

 

How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?  I actually like them.  I am going to decorate my kitchen in pastel Halloween, my patio room with my Halloween tree, and the rest of my house with Vintage style Halloween.

 

 

I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? Slippers would be awesome and cashmere lined?  Wow.  A rope basket sounds lovely too.

 

do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book?  I just updated my Amazon wishlist, but I don't have any books on it right now.  I'm definitely up for my witch passing on books they have read and no longer need. I added my Etsy Wishlist as well.

 

Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need decorations?  I just got a 2 ft black tree this year.  I have decorations but would welcome a special ornament from my witch.  I added some ideas on my Etsy wishlist of my style.

 

Hair falls?  They sound lovely but I'm afraid I don't have enough hair to pull one off.

 

Witchy supplies?  No, thanks

 

Custom artwork?  Sure.  Maybe something abstract?  Not too big.

 

Dragon Con?  Early Weenie preview?  The most interesting to me are listed below.  Don't need a bottle of any of these but a decant would be fine just to try them.

Black eyeliner

Peach Lipgloss

Chartreuse Dragon

Glaucous Dragon

Dark Macademia

Witch Flash

 

I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? maybe stationery or pretty scrap paper

 

I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I only really collect souvenirs from places I have visited.

 

I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc.  Maybe something pink and white with lace and pearls.  I could use it on a junk journal cover.

 

Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option.  Didn't see any I need, thanks.

 

BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!   I didn't see anything, thanks.

 

I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Yes, that would be lovely.  Fall colors or my living room is grey, forest green and sage green.

 

Feelings on candles/wax melts? Candles are fine.  I don't use wax melts.

 

Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?  I'd try it :)  Greens and grey to match my living room.

 

Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer.  Never tried a Tim Tam but would be willing.
 

I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/.  I'm pretty stocked up on tea right now.

 

I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size?  They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.  I like dark roast regular.  Whole bean is fine.   I love the 70s!  Cartoon would probably be Scooby Doo.

 

I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated.  I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies.   Socks or a shawlette would be lovely!  Again, greens, grey, blue

 

I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it.   Wow, that's a good question.  Maybe a jacket or a blouse.  I like this style https://www.naturallife.com/collections/tops/products/sweet-nothings-embroidered-cotton-top-whitehttps://www.naturallife.com/cdn/shop/files/IMG_0658-Edit7.webp?v=1752858935&width=1350https://www.naturallife.com/cdn/shop/files/Lobby_20Megan_204-17-25-1363-Edit.webp?v=1751296515&width=1350


Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ I don't need a fidgety toy but  I like some of the stickers.  Cool website!

 

Ren Fest items?  Nothing I can think of but if you find something you think suits me.

 

What is your size in say Tshirts?  Pajamas? T shirt is L or XL depending.  If it's women's style I may need XL but Unisex probably only L.    Pajamas-XL  I like them roomy.

 

Do you like Halloween socks?  Any particular style or image/character?  Yes!  I like the fuzzy sleep socks and also ankle or knee high (which will only be crew length on these fat calves!)  I just picked myself up a Scooby Doo pair.  I like pumpkins and black cats, ghosts etc.

 

I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series.  It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time.   This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery.  The letters and details are gorgeous.  I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee?  Of course it would be in your last box, so I don't give my identity away....  My own question so not applicable.

 

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.  Also my own question, but if you are a paper crafter, I'd love to receive something of yours.  I love seeing other people's work and love handmade gifts.

 

Snag tights?  No thanks

 

LUSH?  I do like LUSH.  From the new Halloween releases maybe the Palm Reader Hand cream?

 

Dragon con scents?  Listed above

 

Disney Paris?  Nothing I can think of, thanks.

 

Nocturne Alchemy?  Red Pine Amber Incense sounds like something I would like.

 

*Would you be interested in a handwritten book, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? Not exactly my thing, but thanks.

 

*Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere?  This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia."  I don't use nail polish and I have plenty of makeup.

 

*If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?  I don't like romance or smut.  I don't really like gorey horror, I prefer more of a thriller/suspense/psychological.  I don"t mind, for example, if a historical fiction has a romance element but please no Harlequin type romances-Ugh.  I'm always looking for book recommendations and would be happy if you passed along something you read and loved.

 

Charities?  I am partial to animal welfare and rescue charities.

 

Greenwoodtree's fudge?  I would say penuch without nuts or chocolate cherry, or maple.

 

It seems i'm not the only tea lover in the group. 

anything from Dryad teas pique your interest?  I really am stocked up on tea right now, so no thanks.

 

I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments.  Would you like to try some?  YES

Give me some flavor ideas.  How do you feel about peach?  Rhubarb? Tomato?

Spicy or sweet?  Spicy and sweet?  YES to all.

 

Posie Tea?  No thks on tea.

 

Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send.   I don't think I am familiar enough with the things to know.  I don't LOVE cooking so maybe not spices.

Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate?  All chocolate is good chocolate BUT dark chocolate is the best chocolate.  That said I am not a huge chocolate fan but a little dark chocolate is ok.

 

 

Is there anything here that appeals?

https://www.erstwilder.com/  Cute stuff but I probably wouldn't use it.

 

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? In theory yes, but honestly I don't eat much bread so it would probably go to waste.

 

Do you like bracelets?   Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox?  (zox.co)   If so, what size would you prefer?   (s / m / l).  No thanks

 

Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?  I have more craft supplies than I can probably use in my lifetime.

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables?  I have one that I sleep with but don't really have a use for another.

 

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  Maybe sea salt or molasses ginger

 

My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? No thanks, I don't really drink.

 

We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?  Again, I LOVE the idea and I love floral flavorings but I don't really drink and not sure how to use it another way.

 

Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?  Besides always wanting to have lived there?  No, not that I can think of lol.

 

Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates?  Which flavors?   https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?  Some of them sound really good, but I'm not a huge chocolate person.

 

Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in.  If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want?  https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025   Well, I do have a TJs close enough to go, but I seldom do.  So dear witch don't make a separate trip but if you already happen to be going, I do like the pumpkin body butter and maple things in general.

 

Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee?  https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods   Beautiful things but my ears are very sensitive to metal and the other things are pricey.

 

Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want?  I use a planner but just to keep track of myself so no fancy supplies necessary.

 

Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee?  https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25  No thank you

 

Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it ! I do enjoy marmalade.

 

Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay?  Whatever is good for you.  I personally will be wrapping some things and leaving others unwrapped.

 

I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s   https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion.  No, thanks

 

Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye?  https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au  No, thanks.  Doesn't look like they are shipping to US anyway.

 

Interested in any of these?   Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap  Maybe Pumpkin and Pistachio hand salve  or here  MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Sample pack, Bohemian Velvet Lounge

 

There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? No thank you.

 

Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/  Decants would be welcome of A Dance to the Music of Time, Black Currant and Black Rose Lotion, Strangled on Midsummer's Eve
