    Here are bunches of random things that have stuck out in my head as awesome. Of course not expecting anything below, but just in case you were wanting a better idea of the stuff I generally like, here is stuff on my in-the-future-to-buy list C:
     
    Candles: Been interested in the B&BW amber incense, and some of the old carnival ones.. but generally any foody or coffee candle is good, from any place. Been wanting to try DarkCandles.com too, but always seem to forget when I have extra $$ . I also have a tart warmer, so the simmering oils do seem quite appealing ATM (45% off). Little sample tarts are cool too.. or votives, or tealites, lol. Just please no "clean" or "crisp" scents.
     
    Foodstuffs: Dark chocolate anything. Peanut butter is also good. And if there's coffee, even better. I also love all types of gummy items. Cookies or brownies are my most favorite desserts EVER, but only if they are just barely cooked I'm also a firm believer that a pinch of salt makes any dessert better C;
     
    Bath and Body: As mentioned in the questionnaire, I have dry skin, so prefer moisturizing products. Creams and spray-able oil moisturizers work the best. Also, moisturizing scrubs are awesome. As with candles or other perfumed items, I prefer resins, patchouli, ambers, etc. Vanilla is always a good start too, and some soft florals are ok, I just dont enjoy anything too clean or fresh smelling.
     
    Knickknacks/miscellany: Besides the little bottles, carvings, and minerals, I am in love with some of the crazy stuff Urban Outfitters has. Like, little blind boxed designer toys, or.. well any type of odd knickknack. Tinythingsarecute.com also has some crazy stuff that is interesting. regarding miscellany, I've realized I somehow do not have even 1 adele CD, and yet I'v loved every song of hers I've ever heard. Oh, and books! I have been looking for a good dessert cookbook. Not so much cookies or cakes, but like, pies, and bars, and croissants... which I guess means more of a bread/pastry cookbook. (2nd hand/used books are awesome, imo C:)

    Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types?
    I love the Reeses eggs, and all of the See's eggs.
     
    What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd?
    Obatala and Brown Jenkins, I think those are my most loved of the GC's. Of course now that I think about it more eat me, drink me, the tweedles.. lol the list goes on

    Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it?
    I'm pretty faithful to bpal.. But I think its cause my wallet cant handle too much must-haves
     
    What is your favorite type of wine? Would you be interested in trying something new? In that case, is there anything you really DONT like? Ooooo how about dessert wines?
    I do enjoy wine, all types. And should I not like it, I love sangria, hehe.
     
    March 21
     
    What three things are you craving right now?
    I think the main thing is time. And maybe some sushi?
     
    paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards.
    Note pads are handy, I also have been wanting some origami papers. I used to love origami so much, and now that I have a long vacation coming up (end of summer) I'm looking for little hobbies I can take with me easily.
     
    What is a scent that you've been trying to find even a sample of for a very long time to no avail? (What bottle would you die to get your hands on - even a partial?)
    The original glowing vulva perfume. Also, MB underbed.
     
    Is there anything in your life that you'd like advice or a "selfhelp" book for?: (ie finances, eating healthier, meal planning)
    Does microsoft access count? That software is killing my brain.
     
     
    Thank you for the awesome ecard my Witch! Those flowers are amazing!
    And to reply to your card, Yes, I actually do have the original ds. I completely forgot obout it! (I got my dsi a while ago, and it doesnt have the older port. But the original does). And any pokemon game = win for me. I love them all :nods:
    I also replied to your very nice minion, and expanded on some of the questions a bit! Thank you!

    Updated straight from Lioness' master list. Hope its more convenient
     
    Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you?
    I have a picky head, so
     
    purses? bags? What style/colors?
    No thanks on the bags, but I could always use a box, bpal or otherwise. I always seem to need containers of sorts
     
    Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors?
    Sorry, I'm pretty boring with personal accessories.
     
    Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)?
    I've never heard of them before, and as someone else said, I'm pretty faithful to bpal for perfumes, but am open to room sprays or 'home fragrances'. I Always tend to lean towards foody scents either way.
     
    Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what?
    Dont know of any hehe.
     
    March 16
     
    For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer?
    Just in case it wasnt clear, I am a guy Although I guess that doesnt matter.. I guess I should say I just prefer chapstick/lip balm (ie, no color/gloss). That said, I really do like chapstick and lipbalms, and do really like what are traditionally considered "girly" smells.
     
    Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive? ie: good quality vanilla or other extracts, vanilla beans, saffron, lavender, etc.
    If there is something local that is considered a specialty, I would love that! I love all kinds of food, so will use it whatever it is! (I even have and use a beetle extract I got from a chef in Thailand.)
     
    What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you?
    I really like turtles, actually more so, tortoises. Although really the only form of them I would really appreciate would be a small carving or trinket kind of thing.
     
    If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want?
    Cake Smash would be awesome, if it was conveniently available C:
     
    DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither?
    I can play both, but my tv isnt super impressive, so if it comes to purchasing one or the other, the cheaper dvd version is perfect.
     
    Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)
    I have never heard of this site, but looked it up and really like the performance toe socks. According to there size chart I'm a medium. btw, I'm totally fine with crazy colors, but wouldnt really want flowers or solid pink
     
    Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care?
    I'll be happy with whatever my witch thinks best :nods:
     
    Do you like pirate-related things?
    If it looks old, then very much so! However if its a plastic captian hook.. then less so lol. That said It doesnt have to actually be old for me to love it, just have a traditional or antiqued pirate vibe/look.
     
    Soaps? Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors???
    Out of the trading post snake oil and embalming fluid would be my faves to try (even a chunck if you have some). I've also been dying to try chagrin valley's stuff. Actually any of their soaps, but the banana one looks really good!
     
    What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism?
    Mucha is a fav, so I guess nouveux?
     
    Would you like caffeinated lollipops?
    I'm more of a gummy person.
     
    Copied CD's or DVD's?
    Thats fine if its something you think I'll like.
     
    I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you?
    I cant think of anything.
     
    March 15
     
    Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds?
    Sure I like all kinds, but it wouldnt be a big deal either way.
     
    Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay?
    Yes, I rather like the little doodads and gizmos I've seen in that style.
     
    Do you like amurigami dolls?
    I think it is a cute idea. If I were to have one made I dont know what it would be of. But I would like it.
     
    Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most?
    Of those, pirates!
     
    Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors.
    I have short hair, and generally dont even wear hats. Although I am looking for a ridiculously large sombrero, or sakkat or something to wear while hicking. (I dont expect this for the SW, but if you know of a store or site I can purchase one, a link would be cool )
     
    Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere?
    Not anymore
     
    Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things)
    I love chocolate, and lots of weird things. Chocolate wasnt my favorite, but I love it with chile's, bacon, flowers. And I am one of those screwy people that really treasure 86% cacao chocolate.

    surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours?
    Not possible! Hehe. I would most likely just work on my garden/landscaping. It takes so much time!
     
    Do you have any blogs you regularly read?
    Like the idea of it, but just dont seem to have the time.
     
    Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like?
    Yes! Always more My dream one would be aged and weathered looking. Although I would be quite happy with an ammo box for imps
     
    Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers?
    Very much! I grow veggies and herbs year round, and am working on incorporating some more flowers. I'm in 8-9 hardiness zone.

    Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate?
    Yes! If its convenient! I like them alllllll! I also love all kinds of kit-kats (seperate, but kindof related)
     
    Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection?
    See questionnaire, lol. But short answer, yes.

    Baked Goods? Yea Nay?
    Yes! I love butter and sugar and flour. Especially when backed together

    I know the ?airre asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale? Great as long as clean, and doesnt smell bad.
     
    Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out?
    Love lemon pepper, and santa maria spice blend. But I cook a lot, so really anything that sounds interesting would be used. The spicier the better in my house :nods:
     
    Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk?
    Coffee more than tea, but both are good. I really appreciate rich dark roasts.
     
    Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)
