9/15

 

Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one? Yes,  I like strongly scented candles

 

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush?

(I have a whole slew of things from recent sales, like gift boxes with Sleepy scented products.  They are good until 2026.)  Yes.  I love LUSH.  Sleepy is one of my favorites.

 

 

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam?  I like jam in theory but never use it.

 

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables? No thanks.

 

 

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  Yes, sea salt, molasses ginger or espresso

 

 

My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?   Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.  I don't really drink but the description sounds great.  I'd try it

Technically he makes a lot of "melomel" which is mead with fruit (blackberry, huckleberry, blueberry, raspberry) and sometimes "cyser" which is a melomel made specifically from apples.  Also sometimes he does "metheglin" which is mead made with spices and/or herbs -- like chocolate orange peel (made with cacao nibs from Theo Chocolates.)  I keep trying to get him to make a rose or lavender vanilla bean one for me.

 

 

We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?  Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.

Roses and lavender are both from our organic garden, no spray.  Again I don't really drink but these sound intriguing.  Could you send a recipe along with it lol?

 

 

Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?  Local coffee, smoked salmon (vacuum sealed and shelf stable),  local tea (Friday Afternoon Tea, Market Spice, etc.),  local chocolate (Theo Chocolates, Maeve Chocolates, Boehm's Chocolates, Frans (also salted caramels), etc.), Huckleberry scented or flavored things, lavender scented or flavored things (there are SO MANY lavender farms here), honey, Seattle mug/shot glass/postcard/keychain, blown glass ornament or pike place pig, spice from spiceology, Bigfoot / sasquatch related items, Dick's Drive In kitsch, grocery bag that has PNW on it, something from Pike Place Market or the Space Needle, Liberty Orchards items (like aplets and cotlets), etc.   

Lavender flavored things!!!!!!

 

 

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'm afraid it would melt, it is still very hot here.

 

Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like?   (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.) Butter creams, dark chocolate covered espresso beans

 

 

If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners?  How about stevia?  Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/.

I'm ok with sugar

How many food items would be too many for your package?   If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc.  is this a bad thing?   Not a bad thing but I'd like a mix of items not just food.
