Switch witch condiments
Cellar Door’s update: maybe Black No 1, or Once Bitten
Sock Dreams, no thank you.
Dammann Freres looks utterly delightful. Jardin Bleu, and Paul and Virginie are seriously tempting.
Paintbox sorbettos are always wonderful. And Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground is calling me hard.
Haus of Gloi - some bubbling scrub could be lovely. Maybe in Persephone’s Descent or Spider Silk.
I have no clue about pastel Halloween things, but pastels really aren’t my thing, so probably not.
BPAL Dragon Con/Weenies. So far, I think the one that really piques my interest is Caput Mortuum Dragon.
Lawardrop - if you were to turn out to be my witch, some slippers sound utterly decadent. As would some arm warmers. I’m not sure about baskets, they sound lovely, but I just worry about having space to use them the way they would deserve.
Also I do have an Amazon wish list so I will dig it out and link it, along with my Etsy list that’s asked about further down.
I do not have a Halloween tree. Much as the idea appeals, I don’t really have space for one, sadly. I do love the idea of ornaments that I can hang other places though.
I love the idea of a hair fall, but I don’t honestly know if I would wear one.
Witchy supplies, no thank you.
I love the idea of a custom artwork, but living in a rental makes hanging things a little problematic, so I need to say no thank you.
1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Nothing specific, but a Japanese surprise could be fun.
2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?
Small things from random countries sound fun too!
3. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc
No thank you
Snorg tees look really fun!
https://www.snorgtees.com/products/the-horrors-persist-but-so-do-i-womens-signature-tee?variant=41708167856260
I’m a black tee for everything wearer, and a women’s classic 3XL
Bloom Chic - there’s some really cute stuff there, but I struggle wearing things that aren’t natural fibre, so I will need to pass on them.
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? That would be lovely but I fear my cats would find anything like entirely too tempting.
* Feelings on candles/wax melts?
I have more candles than I have space for right now. I’m also currently without a melt warmer.
* Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? It sounds lovely, but I’m living in a rental right now, so hanging things is not really possible.

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.
That sounds amazing! I don’t really drink decaf, but a good medium roast sounds blissful, as does something flavoured perhaps. Whole bean please! And for a 70s-80s fandom, Dr Who all the way.
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.
I would adore a mermaid skirt. I had one made for me a very long time ago, and it’s very sadly worn out beyond repair, and the person I commissioned it from no longer sews. It’s the one thing I no longer have that I continue to miss.
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/
This, I think, might just be the most perfect fidget ever!
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas?
Tshirts depend on the cut. In a men’s cut, an XL/2XL. Normally a 3X for a women’s cut.
Pyjamas, likely the same.
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character?
I love Halloween socks!
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....
That sounds intriguing. Thank you!
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?
I’m terrible at having journals, and never using them because they’re too pretty to use. A folio sounds lovely too, but I’ve already got a set up that works for me. So thank you, but no on both counts.
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines.
Is there anything there that tempts you?
I’m a size F over there and there are a few things I really love. Especially the Catacomb Mesh Top, the Hell Bent tights, and the Weaver tights,
Is there anything you'd like from Lush?
I adore Lord of Misrule from Lush. The Palm Reader solid hand cream looks lovely too.
I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well.
Anything Nightmare Before Christmas or Haunted Mansion would be brilliant
I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend. I'm going to the Grand Opening. Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for?
Daiso is brilliant, and I don’t have one near me. I’m a huge fan of all the snacks, and also the little craft kits they have.
*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.?
That sounds delightful, thank you
*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."
Now that you mention it, I am not a plush unicorn fan at all. My plush love is more bats and plague doctors 😂
Theres not really anything I can’t think of not wanting.
*If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?
I can’t see myself reaching for a straight out romance novel, or a Western. And no Gaiman or Rowling please.
Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
Anything that helps the people of Gaza. Alternatively, anything pro choice, eg to a fund that helps women access abortion if needed etc.
Greenwoodtree’s fudge sounds amazing, but no. Customs would likely not let it through, so it would be wasted.
It seems i'm not the only tea lover in the group.
anything from Dryad teas pique your interest?
Curiouser and Curioser, Black Cats and Pointy Hats, Almond Twilight, A Deck of Cards, Come to the Labyrinth, and Fairy Godmothers all sound amazing.
I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some?
I wish I could say yes, but I’m afraid that Customs would likely take a dim view of them, and they wouldn’t be allowed into the country.

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? I would love, but it’s not a good idea.
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)
I do like bracelets. Soft stretchy ones are great, I would probably need a large.
Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? I always need yarn, but I’m also forever needing things like stitch holders and row markers.
Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I do!
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 They all sound amazing.
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? I would love to try some, alcohol seems to be easier to ship than unprocessed things.
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? They both sound glorious.
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Nothing I can think of.
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? I can’t choose! Any one of those would be more than welcome |
There’s no Trader Joe’s in the same hemisphere as me, so I’m more than a little envious of the options you’re showing. The teeny tiny pretzels look intriguing. As do the Jo-Jo’s. The petite pumpkin spice cookies and the apple shortbread cookies also sound good.
Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee?
The autumn kitty earrings are very much my thing.
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’m not a planner person
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?
I’m going to be thrilled however they arrive. So if you enjoy wrapping then absolutely wrap. If not, I’m still getting all the surprise opening the box.
Interested in any of these?
Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap
MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean – MooScents
There’s nothing there that really calls to me
Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)?
I think I might be very tempted by it. Black Butterfly Moon, and also the Vanilla and Tobacco Flower oils sound especially beautiful.
Witchee, would you be interested in a kit to make something yourself? Like a kit to dye your own scarf, or make beeswax candles, or make a small embroidered ornament, etc.? Would you like to receive such a kit, or do you not have the time/inclination for it?
I would enjoy that a lot. I love to knit, and I also sometimes do cross stitch, but I’m open to trying other things too.
New questions:
I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need.
Home baked things are lovely, but I doubt Customs would let them through.
I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask.
Customs would absolutely not allow herbs through, sadly.
I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief.
Bats on a handkerchief sounds like a lot of fun.
and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ?
Raise the Dead, Witches Brew, Proof of Life, and IV: For Fidelity all sound amazing.
for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions.
Whole bean, please. Light or medium roast.
Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle?
The playing cards could be fun, definitely. I’m not a jigsaw person though.
I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit?
Something small and batty could be awesome.
Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden?
While I’m sure my two cats would adore some, I think Customs would take offence at it, I’m afraid.
Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay?
I love using just cocoa butter as a moisturiser, but it’s likely to be a problem with Customs.
So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list?
Batty Lace, Batty Snake Oil, Porcelain Bat, Snooty Bat 2025, Black Lipstick 2025, Black Velvet and Red Lamé, In Night When Colors all to Black are Cast, Dead Leaves and Skin Musk, Interminable Grotesques, and The Woman Behind It all sound intriguing. So a sample of any one of them would be lovely.
