Not usually all about the fruit but sometimes I need lemon, lime, strawberry, plum, peach, apple, fig, pumpkin, cheesecake, orange, cherry/almond, etc. Usually mixed with vanilla, musk, patchouli or something "darker".I do not like DIRT. Most things with "Blossom" in them do not work on me (plum blossom, cherry blossom, orange blossom, peach blossom, etc.) Vetiver and I don't get along if the vetiver is overpowering (which it usually is to me. I think Blood Kiss and Lunar Eclipse are some of the only vetiver scents I wear.) Gardenia does not usually work on me although I love the flowers in person. Same with violet - I like violet flavored things but the BPAL violet gives me a headache. I do not really like anything coffee scented (soap, candles, etc - or flavored for that matter, except coffee itself.) Not big on florals except what I've listed. I do like "floriental" type scents. Things with rum make me cry because usually all of the other notes rock but the rum kills it. Same with champagne. Not big into aquatics or air type scents either. Don't like cocoa or chocolate scents. Or caramel. At least not in candles, bath and body things, etc. I like the smell of those in actual food.Favorite scents are All Saints (rose heavy ones), Angeronalia, Antique Lace, Baku, Banshee Beat, The Beldam, Bitch, Black Lace, Black Opal, Brom Bones, The Cat (Coraline), Celeste, Clock Strikes Midnight, Coiled Serpent, Dark Delicacies, De Sade, Dead Dreams of Days Forsaken, Dead Man's Hand, Die Sundë, Dragon's Milk, Dysopes Tenuis, Ecclesiastical Excesses, Ecstasy of True Love, Eldritch Dark, Elephantine Colossus, Elizabeth of Bohemia, Fairy Market, Falling Leaf Moon, Feed Me & Fill Me with Pleasure, Glasya, Gluhwein, Go to Sleep Darlings, Green Tree Viper, Grr, Halloween: Las Vegas, Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair, Haunted Palace, Hesiod's Phoenix, Humbug, In the Forest, Infernal Lover, Inganok Jewelers, Interfector, Joyful Moon, Katrina Van Tassel, Krampus, Krampus' Chains, Krampus' Shadow, La Lugubre Gondola, L'Autunno, Le Pere Fouettard, L'Estate, Lilith Victoria, Loli.Goth, Love, Loviator, Lughnasadh, Masque, Mead Moon, Midway, Mme.

2026 13 Nights of Halloween Q&A Master List
twilighteyes posted a blog entry in Miss Twilight's Blog
9/11/2026 Part 2 for Nalloween at Nocturne Alchemy has dropped; anything you want from there (or the whole site?) 9/10/2026 How do people feel about homemade meringues. 9/6/2026 How do you feel about bath products, such as bath salts, powders, bath bombs, etc.? I'll be going to London in a few days! Anything you'd like from there (brit tea, nibbles, Union Jack fridge magnets, CDs of some obscure UK band you're into...?) How about handmade bath and/or body products? Any essential oil preferences or sensitivities? 9/5/2026 Do you want Halloween Ornaments? 9/4/2026 Do you burn candles and or wax melts? I have an extensive Halloween decor collection and could stand to rehome some things including Bath and Bodyworks wall plug-ins and Johanna Parker linens. Would you like to receive some items from this collection? If so what types of items would you like to recieve? (kitchenware, linens, home decor) How would you feel about The Cure Merch? 9/2/2026 Anything from the Paintbox Soapworks fall updates look interesting? How do we feel about shortbread? Any flavors you particularly interested in (I've done pumpkin, lavender, spicy, rose, chocolate, orange...)? How about graphic novels (physical copies)? Are you a reader? Books, magazines, comics?? Have a favorite genre?? Link a wishlist!! 9/1/2026 How do you feel about seasonal Japanese kitkat flavors provided they stay away from your "least favorite flavors" mentioned in the questionnaire? Do you use any sort of stationery? Japan is the land of cute stationery, so please let me know if any of the following sound fun to you: a 2027 planner washi tape stickers Are you a black coffee or coffee with milk type of person? What is your makeup color palette? Do you prefer neutral, warm, or cool colors? Bold or toned-down? What's your relationship to tarot? Do you want/need a deck? How would you feel about an opened but never used deck? If you drink tea, are there any specific types yoi like/don't like and do you prefer loose leaf or bagged? I'll absolutely be snagging a few things from the Dragon Con online update- see anything you'd like? Anything you want from the Autumn Haus of Gloi update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) 8/30/2026 What are your preferred Halloween colors? I knit. Would you like washcloths or a scarf?? Possibly a hat?? ---if so what color(s) and do you have any fibers you can’t work with? 8/29/2026 Nocturne Alchemy just dropped part one of their Halloween Update! Anything look good to you? (there will be a part 2, but it won't drop til September 10th) https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-nalloween-limited-2026-part-one? -
9/6/2026 How do you feel about bath products, such as bath salts, powders, bath bombs, etc.? yes please! I could use a nice powder box too. Just no SLS, parabens, phthalates, etc. I'll be going to London in a few days! Anything you'd like from there (brit tea, nibbles, Union Jack fridge magnets, CDs of some obscure UK band you're into...?) wine gums, irn-bru, a pudding mold/steamer, tiffin or tablet, real cadburys, biscuits (custard creams, plain hobnobs, rich tea biscuits, Jaffa cakes, surprise me?), match boxes/match books, red dwarf t shirts or other fandom things, pastilles, hard candy, uk only LUSH, other uk specific bath, body, perfume goodies. Gargoyle magnets? Or is that more Notre Dame? How about handmade bath and/or body products? Any essential oil preferences or sensitivities? I love handmade! I had someone on the forum make some bath scrub with amber resin in it and it was heavenly. skip the usual suspects for sensitivity (cinnamon, etc.) and again with the clean ingredients only please. 9/5/2026 Do you want Halloween Ornaments? I do like Creepmas ornaments! I have some on my various wishlists. 9/4/2026 Do you burn candles and or wax melts? Both technically, but not very often. I have an extensive Halloween decor collection and could stand to rehome some things including Bath and Bodyworks wall plug-ins and Johanna Parker linens. Would you like to receive some items from this collection? If so what types of items would you like to recieve? (kitchenware, linens, home decor) I love the Bath and Bodyworks plug ins if they are super gothy, the problem is the B&BW scents bother me. I often just have the lights plugged in with no wallflower. (I saw they are getting better and are starting to get with the program about SLS, parabens, etc.) I have a haunted house, a purple bat, and malificent. I just googled Johanna Parker and sorry, it is just completely not my style. How would you feel about The Cure Merch? Like Robert Smith? I love the Cure! 9/2/2026 Anything from the Paintbox Soapworks fall updates look interesting? Mostly Bath Streusel. I added the ones I'm interested in to my Moonsift wishlist. How do we feel about shortbread? Any flavors you particularly interested in (I've done pumpkin, lavender, spicy, rose, chocolate, orange...)? Sugar is my downfall. All of those sound delicious! How about graphic novels (physical copies)? No thank you, my eyes are too poor for physical copy books. Are you a reader? Books, magazines, comics?? Have a favorite genre?? Link a wishlist!! Yes, but only e-books these days. Sci-Fi / Epic Fantasy. My wishlists are all linked in my Circular Swap Help. 9/1/2026 How do you feel about seasonal Japanese kitkat flavors provided they stay away from your "least favorite flavors" mentioned in the questionnaire? Any amount you send will be fought over if I do not hide them immediately. Do you use any sort of stationery? Japan is the land of cute stationery, so please let me know if any of the following sound fun to you: Washi tape gets used when I mail perfume. I don't use planners or stickers that much. Are you a black coffee or coffee with milk type of person? Both. If the coffee is really amazing with a full body mouth feel I will drink it black. Most coffee needs cream and sweetener. What is your makeup color palette? Do you prefer neutral, warm, or cool colors? Bold or toned-down? Smokey eye, cool colors. I rarely wear makeup. What's your relationship to tarot? Do you want/need a deck? I have plenty of decks and I do not think there are any that I am pining for right now. If you drink tea, are there any specific types you like/don't like and do you prefer loose leaf or bagged? My favorite is Mariage Frères (and Dammon Frères) but I can't share those wish lists -- so items are added to my Amazon beverages wish list along with some of my other favorite tea like Bird & Blend and Stephen Smith. And some Harney & Son. I added some August tea to my Amazon Beverages list too. I'm totally down for trying any local to you black tea as well! I love flavored but a plain black breakfast tea is fine too. I also like Jasmine tea, it's pretty much the only green tea I drink besides matcha. I also liketissanes with licorice root and mint; Yogi's Egyptian Licorice Mint (can usually find at your local grocery), Aveda tea, and Breathe Easy tea from Traditional Medicinals. Also Throat Coat from Traditional Medicinals, would love to try the Eucalyptus one. (I usually do the Slippery Elm. Do not send me the Lemon Echinacea please!) --- I say this in my answered questions, but will put it here too. I loathe rooibos, honeybush, puerrh, mate, and most herbals/tissanes/caffeine free tea. I don't really like most green tea, fruit tea, or oolong, except for milky oolong. The only time I like caffeine free tea is if it's a hibiscus tea (like Tazo Passion) OR a licorice & mint tea. I don't like barley, chamomile, malt, or chili in my tea. I don't like mint or coffee mixed with black tea - the only thing I like mint tea mixed with is licorice root and basil. (And this is really the only way I like the flavor mint at all, unless you count frangos or gum.) I'll absolutely be snagging a few things from the Dragon Con online update- see anything you'd like? Nah, I'm good. Anything you want from the Autumn Haus of Gloi update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) I added a Haus of Gloi collection under my Moonsift wishlist. Mostly the scrubs in Ghost Puffs (sugar exfoliant highest wish) and the hair oils in Ghost Puffs, Vanilla Taffy, Marshmallows, or Marshmallow Rose. 8/30/2026 What are your preferred Halloween colors? Purple and Black. I knit. Would you like washcloths or a scarf?? Possibly a hat?? ---if so what color(s) and do you have any fibers you can’t work with? I am the worst person to knit for!! I'd like amigurumi though! I have a whole "make for me" section on my Ravelry account. I don't love acrylic. I do love merino, cashmere, silk. Acrylic is fine for amigurumi though unless I'm going to snuggle with them. 8/29/2026 Nocturne Alchemy just dropped part one of their Halloween Update! Anything look good to you? (there will be a part 2, but it won't drop til September 10th) https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-nalloween-limited-2026-part-one? Candy Corn Cake Pop Vlad Rouge

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Candles or Soap: Black #1, Once Bitten, Spooky Season, Sanderson Spice, Lavender Pumpkin Also/Or (not Halloween): Sex Machine, Hunter's Moon, Midnight Rider, Lavender Fields Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) I have huge feet (12 US women) and plus size calves (ice skating + horseback riding) so most socks really aren't my thing. That being said, in the Plus Size section I like: Moon Phases crew and Just a Phase crew 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/) Now we're talking!!! I love loose leaf tea, mostly black but I do like a few tissanes (mostly ones with licorice root or perhaps hibiscus.) I love rose, lavender, anise/fennel/licorice, vanilla, butterscotch, peach, honey, jasmine... I do not like coffee in my tea, nor do I like rooibos, honeybush, mate, or puer eh. Or chamomile. If you could find me a tea that is black with apples and fennel, I would be so happy! There was one from August tea called Dots and Loops with that mix and it was soooo good. Now discontinued of course. I still have some live Mariage Freres links on my amazon beverages list but all of the Damman links were dead. From Damman what catches my eye so far: Black flavored: Pink (black tea & rose) Bourbon (black tea, vanilla, caramel) Nosy Bey (black tea, vanilla, peach) Licorice!!! (black tea, licorice) Caramel (black tea, caramel, chocolate) Vineyard Peach (black tea, peach) Violet (black tea, violet) Spice Flakes (black tea, orange, gingerbread) Christmas in Provence (black tea, honey, fig, strawberry) Smokey Black: (just one smokey, lol) Smokey Lapsang Smokey Tarry Smokey Crocodile Fujisan Souchong Sakura Souchong Souchong Malt Oolong: Milk Oolong Original (oolong, cream) Herbal: Fennel Mint Mint Licorice Cocoa: Cocoa Spices Cocoa Orange Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? Fairytale Bath Struesel, The Grey Hound wax melts. From "Season of the Witch": Black Sun bath streusel Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? scents: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs mediums: fall soy wax tarts, candles, refresher spray, sugar exfoliants 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? Not weenies per se, but I would be interested in trying Snake Bouquet and Snake in the Grass. Maybe Pumpkin Funnel Cake depending on how cakey and delicious it is. For weenies, In Night when Colors all to Black are Cast! I'm quite curious about Black Eyeliner, Plastic Rats, Gummi Fangs, Vintage Kitty Blow Molds, Devil Flash... How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I like black and jewel tones and dark colors. No pastels please. 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? I would love things like the tea cosy with mat, bowls, vessels, etc. I am too warm 99.999999% of the time and wearables would be wasted on me. do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Yes, it's in my signature in the circular swap help. Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? Yes and yes and yes and yes and ... yes. I also need a little tree skirt for my tiny tree. One with black and white spiral stripes would be amazing. Maybe 2 feet in diameter? Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes, also linked in circular swap help. As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? The Gamboge Dragon atmosphere spray sounds interesting as does the Cerise Dragon hair gloss. Maybe Bastard-Amber dragon perfume oil. I would be happy with decants. I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. I never go anywhere and I have a mostly shaved head so probably not. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I love all kinds of witchy supplies but I don't have anything in mind right now. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Yassss! A painting or maybe a tattoo design?!? I now have four bats on my left arm along with with a moon. I would love more tattoos -- these ones are just flash from Friday the 13th specials. I'd love a huge bat on my back whose wings wrap around me (there is some armor in Diablo IV that is similar to what I'd like, lol), an ankh, celtic or nordic inspired horses, hippocampus (fairy tale creature), dogs (blue pit bulls especially), ravens, bats.... I'm partial to black and white monochrome, blues/purples/blacks/greys, gothic, celtic, nordic, etc. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Delicious kit kats of course! I don't know what else is available though. And I do get the imported kit kats here at Hmart and World Market, so maybe if there exclusive flavors available only there? Anything Rabbit in the Moon (soy sauce dish, large mug, something useful.) I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? It really depends .. I have so much clutter that I don't especially want knick knacks or things that sit on flat surfaces with no purpose. 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. I'm sorry, these are not my style. Gorgeous though! 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. Pretty much any of the Monty Python, Princess Bride, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lydia Deetz, Don't Blink (Doctor Who), Firefly, Don't Torture Yourself (that's my job), Nightmare before Coffee, Haters Gonna Hate Pit, Krampus ones, some of the Stranger Things, etc. Women's Signature, always black or grey, probably a 3xl. 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'm an 18/20 from Lane Bryant, so maybe from here too? I like the skeletal rib invisible zipper romper (black) but maybe in a larger size - 3x? The color block bats button down shirt, probably in the 2x. Bat print stretchy textured zipper hoodie maybe in the 4x? I like over size zip up hoodies. 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? No, it would just be a dust catcher for me. Feelings on candles/wax melts? I don't burn candles a lot because I'm too hot and they raise the temperature a bit. I do like both candles and wax melts though, mostly because I am a scent hoar. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? No thank you. 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. I can get imported Tim Tams here, so I'm good on that. Maybe a special Australian Starbucks card? (doesn't need money on it.) Or a demitasse size Starbucks city / country cup? (full size is welcome too, but I don't use travel mugs much.) I think I saw some Rabbit in the Moon ones and was coveting those. (I love Rabbit in the Moon.) 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/ Black tea: Copenhagen Blend, Rose Grey, Russian Caravan, Tarry Lapsang Souchong, any of the organic black unflavored. 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. Dark roast ftw! I love flavored or just dark roast. Ground to go into a keurig (I use the self fill cups.) Ummmm I can't think of any fav 70-80's cartoons or fandoms that I would want a sticker of. I'm sure there is one, I just can't think of it. Massive brain fog, this is my life. 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. So I am the weirdo who is too hot 99.999999% of the time and usually I am wearing shorts and a shelf bra cami and nothing else. And am still too hot. But if you wanted to make amigurumi or something, I'm down with that! I love bats, horses, unicorns, dragons, etc. I have a list of "Make For Me" patterns on my Ravelry favorites that has a bunch of knitted stuffies. 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. Ooooh. Does it include leather or pvc or ... let me come back to this. 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/ They have a cute bat sticker! My fidgets are usually a ring or knitting or my tablet. I'm rarely without the tablet/phone or knitting. I did look at their fidgets and it made me anxious, so I think the answer is no. I have sooo much "stuff". (I am AuDHD.) What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? From TeeTurtle I like the premium woman's in a 2x or 3x. Pajama's I usually wear mens (pockets!) and maybe 2x or 3x. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I don't really wear socks anymore. I would be ok with quality socks, usually black, and I like moons, skulls, skeletons, pit bulls, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc. I don't do well with one size fits all since I have huge feet, and I don't do well with the mass produced nylon socks from China. I prefer cotton or wool 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? No, I am good. That sounds lovely but my eyes are getting really bad and I tend to be really clumsy and have a hard time holding on to paper and things. I do my reading on my tablet now. 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. Ooooh. I would love to receive one! I would love a theme of spooky with bats, crows, skulls, cats, dead trees -- but not halloween necessarily as no pumpkins or witches or ghosts or whatnot. I'm not sure if I would prefer a folio or a journal; I was looking at journals last night on etsy and added a bunch to my favorites (but I think that is private.) I might have added some to my stationery list on there. I was thinking wedding guestbook sort of journal (so at least 9x11 and doesn't need too many pages, certainly not 400!) Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.com/collections/halloween No thank you, I am too fat for tights right now. Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us I love LUSH so I'm afraid my list would be really long. I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!! I already answered up thread. 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. ALLLL of the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff!!! And I like the Haunted Mansion too. Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? Nope, I'm good. None of my colors there. 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? I have no idea what they have but evidently we have a Daiso about 5-10 minutes away. I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 ) Wow, am I not getting the email from NAVA anymore?? *runs to look* Usually Halloween is easy because I'm no cinnamon, no apple (except in things like BPAL's Samhain), no pumpkin (usually), no leaves, lol. All of the vanilla, lavender, roses, amber, etc. though!! From Halloween Limited Collection: (ends 10/31) Eternal Ankh Pastel Candy Corn New Moon Bastet’s Ice Cream Candy Corn 25 From Halloween Resurgence: (ends 10/31) Black Vanilla HONEY Black Vanilla Kulfi Black Amber Incense Black Rose Amber Incense Blood Moon 31 Bats Pandora 31 Bats Morticia Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? oooh, recipes is a great idea. And stories! 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." No weird religious stuff unless it's for my weird religion (witching!) No orange pumpkins unless I'm eating them. I don't especially like the traditional Halloween "witches", ghosts, frankenstein's monster, zombies, etc. Clowns - for the love of all that is holy, no clowns. I don't need any hand or body lotion right now unless it's on my wish list specifically. No small coffee mugs (18oz and over is great since a lot of them have been breaking lately. I blame the 13 year old living here.) I think I already covered my sensitivities and allergies (jewelry/metal/bath and body stuff.) Ummm if getting me any kind of dried fruit or whatever, make sure it's organic if it's on the dirty dozen list. (EWG's 2025 updated one.) If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? The only physical books I would want in most cases are cookbooks or fiber art books. (Picture or art books are different - like coffee table books.) Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? Not right now. If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests. OMG the penuche without nuts is sooooooooo good. But the chocolate with cherries sounds good, as does the Matcha that was mentioned in thread. anything from Dryad teas pique your interest? https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea I collect tea pets too... I can't believe how prices have gone up on them! There used to be a ton on etsy! Anyway, there are a couple on this Dryad Teas wishlist. https://dryadtea.com/pages/swym-share-wishlist?hkey=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f&lid=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f&utm_source=swym-Wishlist&utm_medium=shared-wishlist&utm_campaign=daa2dd96-eb67-48cf-a059-cbcc2506745f I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? YES. I love peach! I love rhubarb! I like tomato in things like salsa or pasta / pizza sauce; someone made me some tomato jam once too! I like spicy AND sweet sometimes (candied jalapenos for example, or the "canon sweet hots" green chilies.) I also love sweet! Poesie Tea (poesieperfume.com) what would you like? Royal Wedding sounds interesting. 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. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Can I have a wallaby? I'd really like one of those. I am preferring milk chocolate lately. Unless white chocolate has cocoa mass in it, it isn't chocolate imo. I like dark chocolate over truffles or caramels but not in bars. I can get vegemite here in the US no problem so pass. Maybe indigenous spice blends? Possum yarn? Yarn from an australian dyer? Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ I am sad that their bats and winged kitties are orange!! And that the skeletal doggo is a dachshund, lol. I do like the Full of Woe brooch! It's kind of spendy though, so I wouldn't expect it. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? If you are someone who makes jam and other things (dill pickles!! candied jalapenos!!), I shall be very pleased to receive such items. 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) My question. I belong to the zox monthly club, so I'm inundated with bracelets. (I'm a large.) Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? Both not really and always, haha. Ok, so I *always* need cables for my knitting needles. ChiaoGood Twist RED Cable Small - 30" or so is good. 37", 40", etc. 50" is getting a little too big. There are some on my fiber arts amazon wishlist. I'd like to learn Tunisian Crochet but I would need the right hooks with cables (we're looking at $130 for the ChiaoGoo set, lol. So don't buy the Tunisian Crochet books in my Amazon fiber arts wishlist, don't have hooks yet!) I need a Lazee Daizee Viking Knit tool for jewelry making (on my fiber arts amazon wishlist.) I'd LOVE the Nightmare Before Christmas official knitting guide by Tanis Gray in some kind of hard copy (easier than reading on my kindle.) (on my fiber arts amazon wishlist.) I'm absolutely ok with used pattern books!!! Do you like plushies, like Squishables? Sadly, I do love squishables. I only get them on major sale though. Bats, crows, and gargoyles all welcome from both squishables and squishmallows. Or other cute ones; I have a huge purple bat from a small indie company that my partner got for me; it sits on my desk next to my monitors. 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 F yes, all of the caramels, chocolate covered caramels, salted caramels, caramel sauce.. I like all of the flavors EXCEPT espresso because I'm a weirdo. I love the taste of coffee only as coffee. I love the smell of coffee only as coffee. I do not want it in my other food or bath and body. 🤷♀️ My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? My question; but if you have mead around you in smaller bottles and it's sweet (none of this dry or semi-dry stuff) then yes please! We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? I don't actually drink very often and only in very small quantities and only when it's freezing outside, but I do love interestingly flavored liqueurs and vodka. Nip bottles are more my speed. Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? I'm good. I do love trying local favorites, so if you have anything that screams "LOCAL FAVORITE" to you from your home, feel free to share with me. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? My question. (My favorite is the San Juan truffle bar.) 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 I shall be going and rolling around in all of the maple flavored things (the maple bread is so evil and delicious) as well as the chocolate mousse pumpkins and the pumpkin kringle. Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods Nothing from the new update appeals to me, but I do love some of the UV glowing necklaces and bracelets! (Fauxfire #2!) probably 24". 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? Planner? I use google calendar. I'm not up to much except doctor appointments and it's easy sharing calendars so I know when the hell spawn or Partner have things to do. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 Wow, those are cute. I love the Moonlit Bats and Gothic Glam. I would absolutely love the deluxe pocket capri or long style. I'm an 18/20 at Lane Bryant but I'm always nervous with new companies that they might run small? Partner loves me to wear leggings around the house more than I love to wear leggings, lol, but I do wear them under dresses (like the short sleeved twirl dresses with pockets from Svahausa.com or skater dresses with short sleeves from other places (svahausa's have a tank top... I need sleeves!) 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! Tea, gothy clothing, yes yes. Wine gums? A cute Scottish highlander man? (only if he's ok with sharing me with my partner) 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? Totally up to you!! 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 I actually already have items from her store on my etsy wishlist. I don't think I have the Misbehave pin yet. There are a bunch of prints under artwork (etsy) and some postcards under "cards and stationary type things", like inigo montoya (Avenge) Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au Not really my style. Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Northing catches my eye from Witch Baby's Halloween but some of their regular catalog looks fun. (Aphrodite Face Soap or Morpheus Face Soap, Black Mass bath bomb, Charity Bath Bomb, Dragon's Blood bath bomb, Dragon's Blood soap, Heartbreak Hotel body scrub, Hellhound Scrub, Laid out in Lavender bath bomb, Lunar Tide face mask, Psychic bath bomb, Psychic body scrub, Psychic Soap, Rune Stone bath bomb, Spooky Cat bath bomb, Virgo body butter, Honey Pot body butter. Moonalisa takes forever to fulfill so I am not sure you would have them in time to mail before the end of round. That being said, I love her dusting powder especially the ambers, roses, and vanillas. Maybe in the Vanilla Cola? Sugar Load Scrub, same - Vanilla Cola. Perfume oil in .... can you guess.... vanilla cola! If you could find some of the older dusting powder in Amber Vanilla or Amber Rose, or the perfume oil, that would be spectacular as well. (I love her Bohemian Velvet but I have more than enough right now.) 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? Brian Serway is one of my fav. 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/ I already added everything I'm interested in to my wishlist on the black Phoenix webpage. 9/25/25 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. Whatever you think I would like! I'm good with honey, maple sugar, or coconut sugar. 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. I would take some more mugwort for the new place except that we are going to sell it and move ... after the divorce is final or closer to that point. I'm probably ok right now since I don't cook very much yet; all of my cooking stuff is still packed. 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 of COURSE. Purple spooky poisonous flowers, corvids, etc. Gravestones. No spooders. and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ? yes. 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. I like dark roast, I can do whole bean or ground for keurig. I am the heathen who does like flavored coffee (shhh don't tell the coffee snobs) like hazelnut or chocolate cherry, or orange chocolate, or butterscotch, toffee, etc. 9/26/25 Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle? No thank you. I have a lot of decks already and I sadly have no room to do a puzzle. I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? Skeletons, bats, corvids.... skulls? gravestones? skeletal animals? 9/29 Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay? No thanks, I'm not currently making any B&B stuff. 9/30 So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped - what has caught your nose from the full list? I updated my wish list on the bpal site with them. and now I hear that the bpal site wishlist might be going away so I need to make a copy of it. le sigh.

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) 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/) Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) 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? How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? 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? do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? Do you have an Etsy wishlist? As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!! I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? 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. 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. 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 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? Feelings on candles/wax melts? Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? 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. 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 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’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. 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. 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/ What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? 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? 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. Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.us/collections/halloween Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!! 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. Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish? 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? I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 ) Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? 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." If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name? If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool : Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge.

Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? 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) Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?

9/2 I'm wanting to place an order with Paintbox Soapworks. Do you see anything you'd like? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Fairytale Bath Struesel, The Grey Hound wax melts. From "Season of the Witch": Black Sun bath streusel Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following? I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you? No 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? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. Ooooh. I would love to receive one! I would love a theme of spooky with bats, crows, skulls, cats, dead trees -- but not halloween necessarily as no pumpkins or witches or ghosts or whatnot. I'm not sure if I would prefer a folio or a journal; I was looking at journals last night on etsy and added a bunch to my favorites (but I think that is private.) I might have added some to my stationery list on there. I was thinking wedding guestbook sort of journal (so at least 9x11 and doesn't need too many pages, certainly not 400!) 9/4 Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ? scents: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs mediums: fall soy wax tarts, candles, refresher spray, sugar exfoliants Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to? Anything equine. Bats, rats, canines, ferrets. I love sea dragons (the real ones) and hippocampus (the mythological ones.) I really really really miss my porcine friends (my kune kune pigs) and caprines (nigerian dwarf x nubian goaties.) 9/7 Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interested in: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion There are so many on my wishlists. Prints, postcards, stickers, maybe one pin. (I have a bunch already from her store.) 9/10 As many of you know, one of my baking specialties is eclectic varieties of shortbread. I think I made pumpkin lavender shortbread for someone last year, I've done spiced orange, chocolate orange, lavender peppermint (a surprising hit that I now make annually). I could do something with rose, a wide assortment of spices, citrus rinds, etc. Anything sound interesting (as an early reveal day zero gift most likely)? Lavender, rose, chocolate, matcha, chocolate orange clove or orange clove or chocolate orange... 9/15 Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one? I do not burn candles very often because of my asthma. I still LIKE candles! Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I love things from LUSH without SLS or parabens. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam? Bring on the homemade canned goods! Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I do!! I love bats, gargoyles, cemetary gravestones, equines, dragons, etc. (Squishables gets some weird ones...) Do you like caramels? Yes! Especially chocolate covered. 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 would love mead!! 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. My question, but if you make some kind of liqueur I would love to try it! Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? I live here, so I'm probably good... although I would never say no to blown glass ornaments ("Witch Balls") in iridescent purples and blues. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? My favorite is the San Juan bar. Or the JCOCO one with quinoa. (JCOCO is their "upscale" sister/daughter/whatever company.) 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.) I love chocolate covered seafoam or cinder toffee, and all kinds of caramel chews and chocolate / vanilla buttercreams. Truffles in general with my favorite flavor profiles. Chocolate covered or dipped fruit is good too, especially apricots, cherries, blueberries. Turtles (made with pecans) are good! I do not like Walnuts. 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 can do the alcohol type sweeteners but right now I'm fine with full on 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? I don't mind having a package full of consumables. Maybe at least one little bat? 9/17 Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps? I do not. I've been destashing a lot and now actually have EXTRA storage. Is there a tarot deck calling your name? Mine are all packed away so I can hardly remember what I have!! I think there was an Abigail Larson one that I was interested in (but I have her Nightmare Before Christmas deck.) And I have the Erin Morganstern deck (author of the Night Circus.) Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? I don't really enjoy wearing socks, which is why I'm mostly barefoot all the time. If I have to wear socks inside of boots or "normal" shoes, I like wool (non scratchy.) I'll do cotton as well if necessary, but I don't like acrylic. 9/18 Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. I would take equines, dogs, or suitably gothy ones (skeletons, sugar skull painted, etc.) 9/21 I'm one of those maker people. How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts? I make them from thrifted sweaters. Wearable art. Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd love to make for you. I'd like to see the new design! Honestly I am too hot even in the winter and I don't even wear long sleeve shirts or hoodies outside.

9/5/2024 Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like? Oooh. Fairytale!! Jack-of-the-Woods sounds interesting except I'm scared of the mushroom part. Ask Tarty how heavy that part is? Let me in at your Window? The Grey Hound? The products I like are bath streusel, sorbetto, hot process soap -- the partner would totally try some of the shaving soap (Black Sun, Wayfinder.) Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like? I would love embroidered things! Especially snarky gothy embroidered things. As far as hand knits go, I am WAY too picky about stretchy cast on/bind off, sizing, yarn, etc. since I am also a knitter. I make my own things. I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any such homemade goodies? yes please. All of the above except salves, I already have a brand new tin of it from Winterblizzard. 9/7/2024 Would you like a small watercolor painting? I'm talking 3×5". If so, would you like it based on your preferred Halloween motifs or something else? oohh yes! Bats and the moon? Spooky trees? Whatever speaks to you. I make light-weight hair falls ( I can do single or double, if you have a preference for pony tail or pig tails)- I make them out of things like soft yarns, up-cycled silk and bits of lace. Is this something you'd like? If so, tell me up to three colors and a length in inches you'd like. Only if you show me how to wear them with my super short hair! (pony tail, purple / black / blurple, ummm long enough to go past my neck and shoulders? Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update? I love their Ghost Puffs in body powder!! And/or Bubbling scrub or sugar exfoliant. How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update? So I don't really want anything with cinnamon, coconut, oak, moss, or oakmoss. That leaves out a LOT of their Halloween offerings. I'm also not a huge fan of florals or fruits, but I really like their vanilla, amber, patchouli, other woods/resins, rose, lavender, and musks. From Halloween Limited '24: Black Vanilla Kulfi Candy Corn Wraith Black Amber Incense Black Patchouli Amber Incense Black Rose Amber Incense Blood Moon 31 Bats Pandora 31 Bats Morticia 31 Bats Mircalla 9/8/2024 Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate? Milk! (I will not go into the "white is not chocolate" debate, look at my restraint!) Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck? Sure! If it fits my wishes/aesthetic. I'm going to Disney World all next week!!! Can I get you something? (Maybe you have a favorite Disney / Star Wars / etc character or fandom? Maybe you're a Pin Trader? Maybe you like cute kitchen-wares / tea pots / nice English tea / pot holders tea towels?) YESSSSSSSSS All of the Nightmare Before Christmas things!!! I love kitchen stuff!!!! Anything would be awesome but I have a skeleton themed kitchen so any towels, teapots, canisters, pot holders, kitchen stuff in general. I love 20oz or larger mugs. I like pins too! This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles? I love all of them! New place will have a huge jetted tub with lots of room for candles and good air circulation, I love beeswax candles and candles from Sea Witch Botanicals or other places that don't put a lot of synthetic fragrance or additives in their wax. I have a few wax tart melters, same with the synthetic fragrance and additives. I love good quality low smoke incense like Shoyeido but if you can find other good quality low smoke incense with a great fragrance throw, I'd be down to try it. (I have major respiratory issues, so I prefer places who use really safe products in their candles and incense, like Sea Witch Botanicals. Here is an article about breathing in things from additives: https://seawitchbotanicals.com/pages/what-are-synthetic-fragrances I guess this applies to perfume and room spray as well!) are you interested in skincare, such as trying travel sizes of various types? (would be cruelty-free, cleaner options coming from over here, if that matters to you!) Not really, I never use them and they aren't usually large enough to see if my skin likes them or not. (I would need to use for a week or more.) 9/9/2024 Let's talk earrings. Pierced? Stud, dangly, hoop? Any ear wire preferences? Large or small? Other preferences? I think I talked about this in my questionnaire. Right now my ear piercings are closed up and I'm hoping to get them pierced again but gauged up (I don't know how large yet, so with a hollow needle at a body piercer place. So I'll be looking for larger than normal earring wire (but not huge) spirals and things. I'd prefer 304 stainless steel (if not sterling silver) or 316L surgical steel (low nickel content) -- please no 316lvm surgical steel as that has more nickel. Titanium is also supposed to be nickel free, as is Niobium (non-plated.) No color plating on anything, that irritates my ears and causes infection. I'm PROBABLY going to go with 16g as that is the lowest size available in most of the jewelry that I like. If there is something extravagant on your wish list, would you like one large gift and the rest of your gifts quite modest, or would you rather forego the lavish item in favor of more of a mix among your other gifts? Totally up to my sender, I'm good with both. I'm going to use the same caveat that violetchaos used on hers -- I don't have room for things that just sit on shelves or flat surfaces. A figurine of a bat, no thank you. A box or tray shaped like a bat? YES PLEASE. (or mirror, or --- Joann Fabric has garden stakes with bat spinners on them, I laughed, I cried as I put them back in the rack.) The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like? I've already picked up the Maple Butter but would take more... sadly my store didn't have All the Fall Things yet. I'd love the Maple Spiced nut mix, Milk Chocolate Covered Honey Comb, Apple Shortbread Cookies, Hold the Cone Tips!!, the dogs love their cookies (preferably grain free.) 9//11/2024 I have in my possession a selection of real Bakelite bangle bracelets! Definitely from the 1940s-1960s era. Would this be an exciting gist for you to receive? My vintage collection is solely neodymium items that change from purple to blue in different lights. Not into bakelite or vaseline glass. Thank you for asking! Would you like anything from sock dreams? I *have* a Sock Dreams wishlist but I almost literally never wear socks so they really would be wasted on me. (I wear Madrid Birkenstocks everywhere. Kidney issues = swollen feet/ankles = most of my shoes don't fit.) 9/13/2024 Would you be interested in a spooky mini waffle maker or spooky playing cards? I have *so many* playing cards, so no please. A regular size waffle maker would be cool but not a mini one I don't think. Sorry! Does anything from SnagTights strike your fancy? I never wear tights, sad face. What about from Michaels or JoAnnes? I love so much of their Halloween offerings! Everything bat! (prefer things that are not plastic or flimsy.) do you like Ren faires? Might there be a fun little thing I should find for you there? I love Ren Faires!! Most of the things I want would probably be too spendy. Hand thrown mugs / drinking horns / vases / bowls / coats / corsets / etc. Maybe some cute buttons (bats?) Or if drinking horn holders (that sit on a table) aren't too expensive? 9/14/2024 Weather permitting I'll be going to a witchy Florida themed night market next week! Is there anything you may want from it? Oooh sounds great! I love lots of things from markets but I don't know specifically what I'd want that would mail well. Whatever you think I would like? 9/17/2024 Do you desire any Samhain ritual-type items, if so, what? ooooh. Sadly my brain fog is a thing and I can't think of anything specific but I love this season so ... anything you think I'd like and would fit my spook. Tell me, my ghoul-friend, would you love to see things from these places (and what?) as you unwrap your gifts? I will be going to the Pacific coast soon, and there are witchy stores (one with serious occult supplies, many handmade including inks, quills, books, etc), a HUGE gem & mineral store, a huge yarn shop, shells and way too much sasquatch stuff, also an amazingly diverse mercantile in Yachats, OR, and the Green Salmon, where unique PNW teas, coffees are sold I could use some rose quartz or blue rose quartz palm stones or towers. I could also use some more selenite sticks (at least 8 or 16 of them) to grid my new room(s). Or pick some palm stones or beads (or cabs) for intent for me. I'm needy, haha. (I can make bracelets or necklaces from the beads and wirewrap the cabs.) I love coffee and have a grinder, so whole bean. Prefer dark roast and I don't mind flavored. Also can do k-cups. I love yarn (fingering, sport, dk, worsted weights), (merino, silk, merino silk cashmere, etc. no acrylic please.) I really have a LOT of tea so unless it's from Damman Freres or Mariage Freres, pass for now. Handmade Ink, quills, and books sound interesting. I love handmade sealing wax and seals as well. 9/18/2024 Would you like spooky-themed stationary supplies? What kinds if so? Nice pens? What about unanointed spell candles? I think I'm ok on those right now. Could you use any clever storage boxes like these? nope, I've had those and given them away. 9/22/2024 If I were to place an order from Cellar Door, what strikes your fancy - they're having a fast 20% off sale through Monday so I'd need an answer fast I think I had a wishlist for Cellar Door for a while. I'd love a candle but would also take soap. * Black no 1 * Farmhouse Pumpkin * Lavender Pumpkin * Once Bitten * Sanderson Spice * Spooky Season non seasonal: * Acadian Driftwood * Lavender Fields * Midnight Rider * Sex Machine 10/2/24 Would you be down for baked goods as a day zero gift? If so, are there any you particularly enjoy that travel well? Of course! Shortbread (chocolate or flavored), pumpkin bread? Open to more but in a hurry and no brain. Is your perfume wishlist up to date? Sadly, probably not! 10/4 Do you need herbs? Rosemary, thyme, winter savory, oregano, sage or such? Mugwort for tea/burning? I grow lots of herbs and I'm happy to share! Sure, I love dried herbs!

This smells similar to the original to me (I find Goblin to be closer to Banshee Beat / Revenant Rhythm) but doesn't yet have the depth that patchouli gets from aging. Will set aside for a year or so!

Maybe my nose is broken because this smells very similar to the original to me, but not aged into lovely deep richness that I remember my last bottle of OLoP being. I am thinking it will age wonderfully.

Apologies for my massive brain fog which doesn't let me use the words but I really like this one and might need a back up bottle before they come down. (I can't remember what the OG Dorian smelled like on me (I destashed it years ago) and don't have any of the new Dorian.)

This smells fantastic in the bottle and wet on my skin, but the dry down morphs into something that smells not great with my skin chemistry. boo. -
I also get some kind of spice to this, I keep checking the notes each time I open the bottle to sniff it, sure that there must be cardamom in it. That's really all I can smell, is cardamom. (new version, not the original.)

would you like hand knit items? Fingerless gloves, hats, small shawl or neck gaiter? If yes, please give measurements. I always love fingerless mitts but I am very picky about using a super stretchy cast on and bind off because I have huuuuge hands. I don't wear cowls or traditional knitted hats. I do have a bundle on Ravelry called "make for me" if you need ideas... it has a lot of amigurumi because I'm not great at crocheting... also lots of colorwork and double knitting. ? Honestly, I'm too hot 99.99999999% of the time and I wear t-shirts / shorts / sandals (no socks) when it's 40 outside and am comfortable. So some of the costume-y hats on my list or amigurumi would probably get more use than mitts or a shawl right now since I make my own. My head is: 23" My wrist is: 8.25" My palm above thumb is: 8.5" Where I would start/stop a thumb gusset is: 3.25" Let's say I'm going to make something with your favorite non-fantasy animal that comes in multiple colors of coat. Do you want the "classic" color or would you like one of their lesser depicted colors? Or a fantasy color like blue or purple? If you're going to make me something with piggies (and they're ALWAYS commonly depicted as pink which I personally find annoying because those are usually hogs, not pigs) I would really prefer the color that my piggies are (Duckie - Gold, Snuffie - Amber with black spots. Lots of photos on my instagram.) If it's pibbles, I love "blue" (ie, steel grey.) White stripe up the nose optional. Friesians are always black, I like black but a purple or blue tone would be fun too. Ferrets I love the "dark eyed white" color. Ratties I love blue hooded. Bats, black and grey are great but whatever fantasy color (purple? dark red? blue?) is fine too. Did I miss any? https://www.instagram.com/miss_twilight/ (my main insta, I don't post a lot) https://www.instagram.com/no.dana_only.zuul/ (dogs insta, haven't posted in a long time) Would you rather your creation had utility, or was simply aesthetic? Up to you, I'm good either way. I have multiple ideas. Would you like to see one idea repeated across two or three... "things", or would you like two or three different ideas manifested? (Alternatively expressed as matching set vs. unrelated expressions.) I'm good with both! What are you hoping "I" will make "you"?? I don't even know myself! I don't wear jewelry anymore for a variety of reasons (allergic to metal except sterling silver and surgical steel, but can't wear metal necklaces at all because the chain irritates my neck no matter what it's made of .. can only wear silk ribbons or leather right now but don't.) My ears and body piercings are all healed up. I knit, so I don't really *need* knitted things. I have 10+ prints waiting for frames, but frames are kind of at the bottom of my expenditure lists. Things that I could in my window, or outside, or put in the garden? I'll treasure whatever anyone makes me, so make whatever you'd like. Just because I don't *need* things doesn't mean I won't LOVE them. What are your feelings about bags? Do you like certain size? Would you be okay with a purely decorative small bag, or does that just sound bonkers? Well, I do live with someone who has an etsy shop that sells project bags, so I have a LOT of bags of a project size. I'm not sure what I would do with a purely decorative small bag unless it contains something smelly to stuff in my sock drawer or the like. Or if it's appropriate to hang off a belt which dress up for a Renn Faire (in which case I would give it to my son.) Other than that, I don't really use bags other than grocery size bags and while I have a ton of those, sometimes I still buy more when Trader Joes comes out with a new cool design... but I will always take your bags.

I'm not getting leather at all. I don't love caramel in perfume and luckily that is not very noticeable either, if there at all on me. I wish it would last longer on my skin but maybe I'll scent locket it!

Paintbox Soapworks Yule is coming out! Are you interested in any (especially their not-Krampus-but-Sinister) of their offerings? I love the Bath Streusel and Sorbetto! Also wax melts! Would love to try Joulupukki wax melts! Would definitely take Roses in the Snow (I had some of the OG), Sugar on Snow, and/or Schwarzwald (prefer sorbetto or wax melts for the last three. Sample size is great!) Maybe Orange and Yellow or Black Twig? Honestly, all of her stuff smells fantastic. When I do big orders she pops in samples of things I didn't order and then I'm all, wow this is great too. Of the older offerings, I'm a fan of Right Red Hand (sorbetto, wax melts) and The Queen is Dead (wax melts) and would love to try Fantasticake (sorbetto, bath streusel, or wax melts), Let me in at your Window (bath streusel, sorbetto or wax melts), GTFO (sorbetto or wax melts), Deacon (sorbetto), Karen Rose Signature (sorbetto), Rice Pudding (sorbetto), The Sword & The Eastern Sky (wax melts), 221B (wax melts), The Wooden God (wax melts), Waking the Witch (wax melts), Pussy Hat (sorbetto) ... (You'd think Moonshadow would be my favorite but some reason I didn't like this one. First time for everything I guess.) Interested in any of the Haus of Gloi Yule (or other things on their website?) I would love Nefarious Gingerbread Man in the sugar exfoliant or bubbling scrub! Body powder would be fun in Long Winter's Nap or Turkish Delight! Would always take candles or melts in Turkish Delight or Nefarious Gingerbread Man as well. Actually Tannenbaum also sounds like a great candle scent. Would you be interested in any tea from August or Brutaliteas (the latter even has a Krampus-inspired tea)? Or, is there any tea from another purveyor you are lusting after? August: OMG there is a new tea -- Wild Heart Smoky Lavender Oolong tea! I'm not especially an oolong fan, but I would try this because hello lapsang souchong! And even though I'm not a fan of malt, I kind of want to try the chocolate cherry tea (Cabaret.) Last time I got samples of Avalon, Mojave, Breakfast, Dolomite, Civil Disobedience (because they were out of the 15 cup bags, sniff) and 15 cup bags of Metropolitan, Gold Rush, and Outlaw. I would take more Civil Disobedience if that comes back in stock and I still need to test the samples. Their Dots & Loops was actually amazing so now I am into trying apple teas (Dots and Loops was apple and anise/fennel, I love anise / fennel in my tea!) so I am curious about the Beltane (Apple Blossom Oolong) although it uses words like "mild" and "crisp" and "earthy" so ... they lost me there, but then they say "buttery baked apple" and I'm conflicted, haha. Brutaliteas: would totally try: * Butterbotch (I love butterscotch tea!!!) * Back in Blackberry * Cakes on a Plane * Chaiday the 13th * Cherrie * Cherrifier * Decomprose * Hot for Peacher * The Silence of the Jams * Waking the Lavender * War Figs * Cotton Candyman * Malloween * Violet Cremes * Honeydew Hast * Neetlejuice * Jams (No Rooibos/Honeybush, Mate/Yerba Mate, Pu Erh, Walnut, Coffee, Chili, chamomile, etc. That leaves the Krampus inspired tea out as it has Pu Erh in it. Shudder.) Coalition tea makes a great Krampus blend though! https://www.coalitiontea.com/products/krampus-loose-leaf-holiday-blend-3-oz?variant=42703402467479 or if you want free shipping with $35, they have an etsy store too. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1032537068/certified-elephant-friendly-krampus?ref=cart&variation0=3062772331 Is there any international snack you would love to get your hands on? (I can check and see if the International Marketplace in my city has it!) I love things like clotted cream, sticky toffee pudding, japanese kit kats, ... um... brain fog.. I love all kinds of fud. Victim, how would you like an adorable Krampus t-shirt? I found two cute ones (one a pastel Krampus Cat and one is a more direct, olde timey Krampus), in both ladies and gent sizing. If you're interested let me know what size you'd like ASAP so I can order one for you! I don't do Pastel but I do have Krampus shirts on my etsy wishlist. I wear an 18/20 in women's, so usually at least a 2xl womens. are you interested in homemade brown sugar shortbread? I can do plain, or different flavor combinations incorporating chocolate, orange, cherry, lavender, rose, peppermint. Last year I made some lavender peppermint that was super yum. I love shortbread (especially chocolate -- like the chocolate walker's shortbread is the BEST.) But I'd be up for rose or lavender. or ORANGE CHOCOLATE. I don't really like mint in anything except my mint tea with licorice. What are your feelings about fruitcake? This is full of fruit, booze and nuts and marzipan if I can find it. It's not your grocery store fruitcake. I have only had one fruitcake I love - a cherry almond marzipan fruitcake with amaretto. (You can make your own marzipan or get it at world market.) It has dried pears in it too but you can't really taste them. How about infused moonshine whiskey? Only if it's smooth and delicious. *wink* How do you feel about graphic novels and manga? Any favorites? I used to like them (especially things like Sandman, Watchmen, V, Lucifer, etc.) but I can't really read them anymore because my eyes suck. I have to read things electronically where I can adjust the size of the font and that's no fun with graphic novels or comics. Victim, would you be interested in a knitted or crocheted Krampus thing? I NEED the crocheted Krampus hat with the horns. I have the pattern already but I don't crochet. Would you like a handmade wreath? I have made two in the past and really enjoyed the process, If so can you please let me know what your color preferences are. Do you tend to like sparse wreathes or packed ones? How would you feel about a Krampus wreath or would you prefer a general seasonal one? I would absolutely hang one on the door or somewhere in the house! Krampus wreath!!!! I mean, I love Black, Silver, and Purple but those don't seem very Krampus-y so maybe Black, Red, Green, Silver? I don't know! Anything except brown / yellow / orange / tan / cream is probably great! Ummm not totally sparse so maybe more packed? teeturtle is having one of their megasales - anything look fun to you? (they have way more than just t-shirts) https://www.teeturtle.com/ Always!! I usually do the women's in a 2xl but the last one I got is kind of large on me (I've lost weight, huzzah) so maybe I could try an XL? However be aware that teeturtle sometimes has REALLY slow shipping and may not ship in time for you to send by the deadline. I have designs on my amazon wishlist that I would love (put them there before the universal wishlist thingy went away.) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/39Q05UJVXC9BW?ref_=wl_share I have lots from teepublic and teefury too. Here's some new ones that aren't on my list: And look! teeturtle has a Krampus shirt!! https://www.teeturtle.com/products/have-yourself-a-scary-little-christmas-krampus?variant=19577791462777 and Cthulhumas!! https://www.teeturtle.com/products/merry-cthulhumas?variant=19577791490179 And I love the Jack Skellington with the snowflake (What's this?) https://www.teeturtle.com/products/whats-this?variant=19577791480093 I love all of the unicorn pins (holiday or not) and fox pins as well.
