Amazon wishlist: here (NOTE: I am not sure if this shows you my wishlist of books, or if this also gives you access to a separate wishlist called "Non-books." If this gives you access to "Non-books," please disregard. That list isn't especially prurient or anything but I rarely look at or update it so it certainly contains things I don't need currently. Cellar Door Fall Collection: If they still have a Once Bitten candle I'd love that. It's my fave of their Halloween scents but I'd prefer that over the soap since somehow I never used my bar of it from last year. But if they only have the soap I'll take that instead! Other scents that'd work for soap include Lavender Pumpkin, Black No. 1, and Spooky Season. Sock Dreams: Not at this time, will update if that changes. Damman Freres Tea: This site is a little hard for my poor old/slow computer to understand, so I hope I am looking at it right. Remember that I will not use loose tea, so if I am mentioning something that is only available in loose tea, it is a mistake. Noel, Jardin Bleu, Gout Russe Douchka, Bali, the Green Mint and Minty Teas, Rooibos Carrot Cake, Coquelicot Gourmand, Christmas Tea (green or black) all sound good. Paintbox Weenies: Soap or Bath Streusel in Phantasma or The Grey Hound Haus of Gloi fall? Pumpkin Butter: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs, Little Hedgehog, or Spider Silk Candles: Little Hedgehog or Violet Moon Pastel Halloween/traveling during round: Pastel Halloween things are fine. As for traveling during the round, I am going to be out of town on Halloween itself, but that is just staying in a hotel in one of the nearby large cities for one night. Functional, useful fiberart: Gosh, slippers decadently lined in cashmere are hard to pass up! I do not have a Halloween Tree. However, I could display Halloween ornaments in other ways and have in the past. I do not have an etsy wishlist as I rarely if ever look at etsy these days. I might look at etsy again if needed in order to spoil my Witchee though! I would not wear hair falls. Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Eh... I have a very nice witchy store in my town, just went there yesterday and got some black tourmaline and a room spray. I have a LOT of crystals already and currently they are just in a box in the kitchen. So if you see one crystal or trinket you think I'd really like that's fine, but as mentioned in my questionnaire, I don't really want someone else sourcing specific spellwork items for me or something. Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? No thank you. Dragon Con Redux: Plastic Rats and Dark Macadamia sound worth a try. *See below for addition* I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? For this question, usually I just say that whatever is in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Since in my original questionnaire I mentioned green tea flavored chocolate, that's still a thought, including in the green tea kitkat application. We usually also get a question about seasonal kitkats in general, so again, if it seems like I'd like the flavor, go for it! Japan also has many fun flavors of potato chips, potato sticks, etc. (I have some "Hokkaido Butter" flavored ones right now that I got from Daiso), those also sound good right now. I can update this question if I think of another specific product. Mongolian souvenirs/small things from random countries: This sounds great, actually. Custom ita rosettes/cases: No thank you. 3 fave snorgtees: 1. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Black 2.TRY 2 MORE TIMES SO THAT YOUR FAILURE IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Dark Grey Heather 3. Fear is the Mind Killer Cat, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Berry I am not a fan of bloomchic based on the one order I made from them (which was just last year, but was not a Halloween item). * 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)? No thank you. * Feelings on candles/wax melts? I think I've already been fairly effusive about candles here, and I know that in my questionnaire I state that i don't want/use wax melts (though I think I refer to them as "wax tarts"). * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Sounds intriguing. Plenty of information about color preferences in my questionnaire. Australian goodies: If there are Tim Tams you think I might like, or any other treat that seems to be in line with my preferences, that's fine! Just no musk lifesavers, haha! As for the local Australian tea blender mentioned, it seemed like they only do loose tea, which I will not use, so I guess not! I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms: Coffee preferences are also in my questionnaire. As review, medium roast, whole bean, not flavored. Old cartoons... Thundercats? Space Ghost? Jem? hand-knit socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders? I'm so sorry, I'm not really the right audience for any of this. 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? Again, I'm so sorry, just thinking about how difficult it would be to come up with all of these specifications is majorly stressing me out. It is a nice idea but just won't work for me at this time. Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neurodivergents 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? Now THIS is way more my speed! From the selection on the site, I like the following: rubix snake finger axolotls future is inclusive magnet infinite possibility sticker "neurodivergent shit" pen set (So... if there's other stuff at the actual store along those lines, have at it!) Ren Fest schtuff: So, I am having a bad day today and am not sure if this answer will be coherent. But, Ren Fest things in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Ren Fests usually have all kinds of things that I like and probably have described in my questionnaire or in other answers, such as candles, bar soap, lip balm (again, in a tube, not in a pot/jar), earrings, stick incense (not powder or cone), etc. I almost always buy earrings and soap when I am at these events. Thinking of other things I have usually bought while attending, please do NOT get me a coffee cup (anywhere, not just from Ren Fest). Again, I just moved, and somehow we have so many coffee cups that even after devoting an entire cabinet to them, we still have more than one box of them that will probably never be unpacked because we have so many. Sorry, tangent! Told you I was having a bad day.... *We've had multiple questions about Dragon Con goodies but the nail polishes have come out/been placed on the site since then. I really want Glaucous nail polish and it was not up when I made my Dragon Con atmo spray order, so I just wanted to mention that in case it helps you. Also, I did not answer the under-$10 and over-$10 wanted items questions in my original questionnaire as far as I remember. I did come up with a likely-under-$10 one: Halloween stickers! I don't so much mean the big plastic-y stickers people put on water bottles and such now, I mean the sheets of smaller, cheaper stickers. The Halloween stickers I have that are like that probably date from a Switch Witch round 10+ years ago and are getting pretty depleted by now. So if you have the chance to pick some up for me, that'd be nice!!! -Hahaha I just realized that I had a copy and paste error in my original questionnaire. I don't think this will be very helpful, but here is a corrected question and answer from there: Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age? Depends on the context I guess What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? This is actually a complicated question! For unisex tees (i.e., "men's sizes"), I usually get an L these days. For fitted/women's tees, I'm likely a 1X or 2X, whatever the size up from XL is if there is one. Pajama sizes are probably similar to women's/fitted tee sizes. In case helpful, I wear a US 18 or 20 in pants (uh, I think those are called trousers in other countries?). Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? I do like Halloween socks and I guess cats are a good bet (though other things are fine if in line with previous answers)? My absolute favorite Halloween socks are actually different colored eyeballs. I know I said I didn't like gore but I don't really count eyeballs by themselves? Like I said, I don't really need much in the way of midcalf-or-lower socks, so if you are getting me some, just one pair please! I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series... This does sound nice but probably wouldn't work for me/be my thing. 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. The paper folio for organizing writing goods actually sounds pretty nice. I would rather have the other types described than shabby chic or winter holiday. Snag Tights: I LOVE Snag Tights and have quite a few things from them already. I usually order size F. Their Halloween things always seem to sell out so fast so I dunno if you will actually be able to get me any of this though, but here goes: Psychic Cats Mesh Top Nocturne Tights Phantom Veil Tights Dot Dot Dot Tights Grimoire Tights Disneyland Paris: No thank you Lush: Harvest Moon shower gel (OMG this is my favorite kind of tea in the world so this would be so amazing!) Lord of Misrule shower gel! Snowy Mooncake bubble bar! Dracula bubble bar Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar Bewitched bubble bar Demon in the Dark soap Alien bubble bar Witch bubble bar Motivation eyeliner ...and I can always use more Charcoal facial soap! Back to the under-$10 and over-$10 question from the original questionnaire: I finally thought of an over-$10: a new bottle of Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo! I was kind of forgetting that I wear it in my hair most workdays, so of course I go through it more quickly than I do other BPAL scents. Greenwoodtree's fudge: Oh yes please! Out of the listed types, I'd pick Penuche WITHOUT nuts. For custom orders, I'd like matcha the most, second choice would be maple WITH walnuts. Dryad Teas: This appears to be another company that just does loose tea, which I will not use. If you really, really want to buy me something from this store, I guess picking out a tea trivet for me woudl be your best bet. 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? Home-canned things sound great. I'll admit, I do like both tomatoes and rhubarb, separately though I think (peach would be more for my husband, I don't really like peach anything)! Rhubarb I'd like to be at least somewhat sweet. Tomato jam also sounds good, that could be sweet and spicy or just one of the two, as long as not too spicy (again, as noted in the questionnaire, I'm a Texan, so my mild spice tolerance here is probably a medium spice level in some parts of the country, though sub-mild when it comes to Thai hot or Desi hot... it's all relative!). Poesie: So again, the tea is loose tea, which I won't use. So I guess this is another one that's not for me! *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? Almost certain that maika is NOT my Witch based on these continued questions, but I will play along anyhow! If I got instructions about how to use an indigenous spice blend I'd try it, especially if it'd be good in something like fried rice that is improvisation-friendly. Info about chocolate preferences is in my original questionnaire, with milk chocolate being the least favored. This reminds me that no-one's mentioned ruby chocolate, which I'm especially a fan of.... Erstwilder website: I think I've perused this site before, I do really like it. It's definitely a case of too many choices though... like there are literally hundreds and hundreds of items in each category. So if I seem to have only looked at the first 100 or so things but you think the 350th thing is totally my style, feel free to spring for that if you'd like! Earrings: Rowdy Rattlesnake, Show Pony, Posh Pussycat, Regal Woodland Owl Necklaces: The Great Entertainer Enamel Pins: Cal the Giant Squid, Feline Festive twilighteyes question omibus: peach jam, zox.co bracelets, plushies: no thanks jonboy caramels: Yes please, all of the kinds listed on the site sound nice! mead sample: Yes please! rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur: Sigh... they sound good, but in reality, I would not do anything with them I have to confess that I still have a special potent potable that a past Witch sent to me years ago. So unless you are okay with them just being display items, nope! PNW or Seattle items: nothing especially comes to mind. I mean, I guess the fish are supposed to be good to eat, but I don't think you can ship them to me, at least without a lot of expense or hassle? I guess the coffee is supposed to be great too, but I've already said you could send me some medium roast, whole bean coffee. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? This sounds great! So many cool flavors! Maple Bourbon, Moon Rocks, Rainier Cherry, Sip Sip Hooray, Thank You, Block Party Brownie, Happy Birthday, Coconut Island (swoon!), Pike Place Espresso, San Juan Salted Toffee, Nutbutter Pretzel, Magical Mint, Mexican Hot Chocolate, 14 Carrot Cake, Hungry Blackberry, Salted Toffee Crackle, and Cafe Latte Crunch all sound great! Trader Joe's fall goodies: The thing I would like the most is the Honey Hydration Day and Night Cream Duo. Other things that caught my eye include: maple fudge honey hydration bath fizzers wicked good mini chocolate bars maple spiced nut mix pumpkin pancake and waffle mix maple butter (I mean the shelf-stable spread called this, not the "butter with brown sugar and maple syrup" which I assume is a refrigerated item) maple brown butter flavored almonds pumpkin blondie brownies pumpkin gnocchi Wyrding Studios didn't have anything that I couldn't live without, and I am not a planner person (I've tried, but it doesn't stick!). No leggings for me please. I think I own one pair and wore them once last year when my work insisted on having a "pajama day." British things: We like marmalade in my household. ateliercoco website: Black & White Balloon Dog earrings Kintsugi Snake earrings Black Butterfly Moon update: I ordered a bottle of The Abandonment of the Unicorn already. Given that, I'd take decants of: Vanilla & Tobacco Flower Vanilla-Infused Incense & Raspberry Black Fly Butter Moon On Talking Stilleven Met Bijbel The Burning Light Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Witch Baby: Cafeomancy soap, Ghost Girl bath bomb, Halloween Cake body butter, Pumpkin & Pistachio bath bomb or soap, Spider Baby bath bomb or soap Moonalisa seems mostly sold out right now. I'm actually waiting on an order from them from July anyway. There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? No thanks, I have several tattoos, but I'm not sure if I'm getting any more and am not likely to want to go the tattoo pass route. *Back to the Australian Thingz question(s) from earlier, just in case: Sooo, my husband and I really like an Australian band called Blank Realm. For some reason, their songs get played by the independent radio station of a local university. If you happen to have access to any merchandise of theirs or something due to being in Australia I guess I'd be interested (like shirts or pins or keychains or something... do bands still have keychains???). I don't think we have physical albums of theirs (we just have the music downloaded I think) so I guess that's another thought (CDs or records would both be okay).

Is Perversion too obvious here? I usually don't go for most of the notes, but they're actually pretty nice in this combination!

I usually see Urd recommended for this.

Hi Witch! I will put my answers to in-thread questions here! Here is my Amazon wishlist! Since I don't have a public etsy, I can try to find some inexpensive things I like there? But it turns out I barely look at etsy anymore and most of the things I have favorited there are $30 and up, other than these moon hair clips, professional overthinker pin, and ace of cups pin. I can link to a couple of things from a shop that I like, but most are a bit spendy, like, maybe this isn't, but this definitely is in my opinion. Here are some answers to in-thread questions! Cat Coven Halloween: The only Halloween thing I can currently see on the site is a drinking glass, I'll have to admit it's pretty cute though! I looked at their other stuff a bit already, but can update if something else particularly catches my eye. Green Salmon: Coffee would be fine according to preferences stated in original questionnaire, and most of the cocoa sounds nice too. The only tea I'd be interested in is the iced tea that's blue. Snag Tights: All Hallow's Eve size F, or Gully in F. Most of the cool Halloween stuff appears to already be sold out in that size. UK treats: All I can think of is Crunchie, but I may have given other answers in previous blogs? I did also think of Future Primitive soaps though, sometimes we get a question about those and they always sound pretty nice, but I haven't tried them since they are overseas. What are your favorite halloween/samhain treats to eat? All I can think of are Reese's Ghosts (EDIT: white ones, specifically!). Will update if I think of something else. Moonalisa: You can pick out some soap for me if you'd like Is there anything being removed from site or a virtual con scent you are interested in trying? RECOVERY ROOM MUMMY MILK WOLF MILK (EDIT: I can't do the dead leaves note so I dunno if I initially skipped over that component or what. I mean, I guess I'd still try a decant for curiousity's sake but this likely won't work on me.) ZOMBIE MILK A LITTLE SILVER SCIMITAR I was wondering whether Tim Tams in any incarnation would tempt my witchee. On the less sweet side, is there any other Australian things you might be tempted by. The Coconut Lychee Tim Tams sound amazing, but any chocolate variety would be worth trying I"m sure. When I tried to look up other Australian things I mostly came up with Lamingtons and Cherry Ripe, which are also sweet, but if there's something savory you think I'd enjoy, that's fine too! Would you appreciate rare TAL decant(s) in 1 mL amber roll-on bottle(s)? Sure! Haus of Gloi: Ghost Puffs or Spider Silk candle TheGrayMuse on etsy: some of the stickers are nice, such as Big Results, Doubt is Part of the Process, Your Worthiness, The Key to Success, Learn to Rest, It's not my Job, and Growth is Uncomfortable. Sea Witch Botanicals: Hermitage, Imbolc, and Lammas incense sound nice. Also: Frith soap. Alobudra: if you think I'd like some of the chocolate or bath salts, go for it! Moonstone bracelet also looks nice. Blog exclusive: so, someone asked about local shops to get gift cards to... I asked my fave local witchy shop and this was their response: Hi! Thank you for thinking of us! We do sell physical gift cards at the shop! We can send them a link to purchase one for you & we can have it at the shop with your name on it. We don’t have an e-gift card option yet. Have them email us if they want to purchase: Theempressnbtx@gmail.com Redbubble Halloween: sticker: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Death-It-Is-What-It-Is-Pastel-Goth-Grim-Reaper-Drip-by-ctkrstudio/57131095.EJUG5 sticker: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Just-one-more-chapter-skeleton-by-fruitpetunia/126840460.EJUG5 shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Vintage-Black-Halloween-Cat-by-SPOOKYSWAG/34524188.22W0K shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Death-Rides-A-Black-Cat-by-obinsun/28571846.IJ6L0.XYZ shirt size L: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Vintage-Halloween-by-LordofMasks/122532076.9V5H1.XYZ traditional Japanese items: not sure if this counts, but I'd love a coinpurse or coinpurse-sized small zippered pouch (like, definitely no bigger than 7cm squared). brujita: acne kit hechizo facial serum brujita candle tiny bones: these earrings were the only thing that really caught my eye: https://www.tinybonesandthings.com/product/rattlesnake-vertebrae-thread-earrings/101?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=true&q=false ILNP: hidden treasure, pick me up, eclipse (I've wanted this one for years), cygnus loop, you up?, showtime, underground, legacy, silhouette, dusk to dawn, park place, madeline, clover, storytelling Bird and Blend (again, no loose tea, only bagged): parma violet, gingerbread chai, earl grey creme, dozy girl, peppermint cream, udderly nirvana, assam house blend, deep breaths, the digester 9/9/23 kecap manis: Misc... I like enamel pins decently and have given some examples earlier in this blog, but I do not really have "fandoms." I am also not the right audience for hairfalls, unfortunately. We do not really have Halloween traditions besides sometimes trying to make something wacky for dinner (ramen burgers, hotdog mummies, etc.). I know I answered the question about home-made arm-warmers in a previous blog but don't think I have it in me to dig it up right now. Wild Soul River did not have anything that appealed to me. I cook, and I buy stuff from Penzey's all the time, just got an order in a couple of weeks back, in fact. If you are ordering from them anyway, I'd like to try some of their frozen pizza seasoning. Colourpop does not look like my thing. Most non-gory Halloween imagery is fine (I do not like zombies, for example). I think I talked about Halloween decoration preferences in past blogs if you really want to go digging? No Astrid, no hand-knit socks, no witch hat, no nail wraps. I'm not really a Squishmallows or Squishables person. Since I live in blazing hot South Central Texas (like, we just had over 60 days that were over 100 degrees), I have all of the pairs of fingerless glove type things that I need (actually, I have 3 and probably only need 2). Trader Joe's Halloween stuff seems like an embarrassment of riches: Obviously you can't ship me anything that needs to be kept cold, but here are things that could possibly be shipped that sound nice: Maple Flavored Fudge Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars Harvest Blend Herbal Tea (I usually buy this every year but who knows if I will make it to a Trader Joe's to get it this year) Autumn Maple Coffee Caramel Sea Salt baking chips Vanilla Bean Paste Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Cakes sound great, dunno if they are ship-able? Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Organic Fall Zucchette Pasta Pumpkin Gnocchi Maple Spiced Nut Mix (this sounds so great!) I am intrigued by the possibility of rope-work coasters for sure. Everything mentioned in conjunction with them sounds okay. Cherry Republic: Cherry Mimosa Conserve, Cherry Almond Butter, Cherry Rhubarb Jam, Cherry Sour Balls, Cherry Scone Mix, Spiced Cherry Preserves, White Chocolate Cherry Peanut Butter, Cherry Creme Honey, Montmorency Nouveau Preserves, Cherry Fig Jam, Cherry Sencha, Cherry Hour Bundle American Spoon: Sour Cherry Preserves, Star Thistle Honey, Paloma Mix, Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, Rhubarb Marmalade, Spiced Pear Conserve, Whole Seed Mustard, Tomato and Cilantro Salsa, Damson Plum Preserves, Quince Conserve Fustini's: Fig and Maple Paste, Marinara Sauce, Basil Crush Olive Oil, Garlic Olive Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Italian Pasta, Castelvetrano Olives, Mini Whisk Fudge omnibus answer: Maple fudge is my favorite of the traditional varieties. If we are talking about Holly's fudge from her old etsy shop, I love the Penuche and she made me some kickass matcha fudge once that was the best thing ever. Homemade/preserved food goodies that are a "yes:" sun-dried heirloom tomatoes dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder (either is fine) gourmet quality fudge (see above for flavor preferences) dried italian plums (pitted) freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo (any and all would be fine) Whew! 9/11 answers: How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/ Would try zit zapper I guess. City Skin Night Cream is another thought. How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Self-love, Museum Of Fortune Telling, Magic & Tarot, Record Store, Social Anxiety, By the Fire, The Witching Hour, Grimoire, Smoke & Mirrors, Boundary, The Off Switch, Tomato Leaves, When Witches go Riding, Saffron Perique, Grapefruit Mint, Luxury Hotel, Morgan Le Fay, Clove Cigarette handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) sounds nice! arnica, calendula and comfrey mix salve for healing wounds or chapped skin also sounds nice! 9/13 answers: Cat treats: My cat is kind of picky but if you want to get him one catnip toy of some type I will at least try to introduce it to him. Unfortunately, he did NOT like the homegrown catnip that someone sent me in a past round. ? Seasonal mugs... you may get me ONE if it is spectacular, because I could probably figure out a mug to retire. Rishi teas (sachets): turmeric ginger, cinnamon tulsi spice, cinnamon plum Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldn't mind getting more of? coffee? earrings? I can update in my blog if I think of something else. FaeFragrance etsy: Bear Hug whipped soap sounds nice. 9/17 harissa olive oil: Pickety Witch website: "Jiji's First Halloween" pin is pretty cute. Would possibly be interested in any doubled lapel pins with a chain in between (as noted, sometimes referred to as sweater clasps or clips). I like stickers, but I think I've probably already been pretty clear about that Um, I did get some with geese on them recently that I ended up giving away, and I don't think I want ones with Baphomet on them, but those are the only things I can think of that I specifically don't want stickers of. A paper crane mobile sounds nice and I don't really have extreme space constraints for such a thing. Weenies: what I want the most is Maple Leaves, Golden Moss, & Amber hair gloss, so that's a thought, dear Witch! I will be ordering myself a handful of decants, so I will leave those out of this discussion as well. But there are almost always things that I am curious about but are less likely to actually work with my skin chemistry, so if decants are more your speed, here's that list of curiosity: ELIZABETH'S IMPS LADY OF SAINTONGE WITCH-BIRDS WAYFARING STRANGER I do like washi tape but don't use it a whole lot. - List here things you wish you would've added to your questionnaire I guess that I would really, really love more No-one Heard Her Except the Sparrows atmo, I have a tiny fraction of the bottle left. I use it in my office at work, after deciding Red Lantern was a bit much for compulsory public education. 9/23: Torrid: I'm looking at the workwear section because it's 50% off right now. I think 2x in these is probably the best bet. Satin Tie Neck Flutter Sleeve Blouse Madison Clip Dot Zigzag Button Up Shirt Mesh with Embroidery Long Sleeve Blouse Vegan Cashmere Cardigan V-Neck Drop Shoulder Sweater Harper Studio Crepe de Chine 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Studio Bubble Satin Bow-Tie Blouse Harper Georgette Pullover 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Harper Clip Chiffon Pullover 3/4 Sleeve Blouse Geogette Tulip Sleeve Blouse (yes, the item is spelled that way on the site) Harper Studio Crepe de Chine Flutter Short Sleeve Blouse Harper Georgette Ruched Short Sleeve Blouse I mean, is it okay if a person just appreciates acorns? Lush: Skincare: Grease Lightening Shower Gel: Rose Jam, Olive Branch, Mario, Golden Egg Halloween: Lord of Misrule bubble bar or candle, Ghostie/Magic Potion bath bombs, Pumpkin Crumble/Bubble Lugosi bubble bar lakewoodwax: Of the highlighted candles, kanekalon, the jaguar, and heaven scent all sound nice. Smoked Coconut & Orange also sounds nice. re: Ren Fest stuff, I am a garlic fan, since that was mentioned specifically. Usually those markets have plenty of the other stuff that I've mentioned being interested in like earrings, lip balm (tube style, please), soap, candles, stick incense, etc. 9/30/23 ube halaya: Winter holiday afficionados, are there any decorations, treats, etc. that you would be looking for? Chocolate Orange, dark chocolate, Terry's Brand. We also usually get a tea advent calendar from Pukka but I'd be open to other brands. If I think of something else I'll add it to my blog. World Market kitkats: Orange, Matcha, and Milk Tea sound nice. Coloring books: maybe... I think I have two or 3 somewhere that I lost interest in at some point. I'm another person who probably needs a good version of what I call "map pencils" though if I'm going to try to use coloring books again.

Clove discussion! including bitter clove and clove cigarettes
neptuneanblues replied to amaltheagray's topic in Recommendations
Planning to wear Voodoo today which also has clove, but my fave BPAL clove is probably The Moon Gazed on My Midnight Labours! -
Sed non Satiata comes to mind (most of the other things I thought of contained rose):

@katharina I'm a little confused, I was recommending perfumes with fur notes I'd tried to other people, not asking for leads on perfumes with fur notes I hadn't tried? I have two bottles of Ivanushka from when it was easier to find (so I'm probably not the target market for "batsy"), but I've been buying BPAL since 2009 and on the forum since 2011, so I thought maybe someone newer who was reading this thread might not know about it and might be interested in finding out about a nice perfume that fit these specifications that was released back in the day.

Seconding Unicorn & Ram. If you really want to go a-hunting, there's always Ivanuskha, an LE from the distant past, and Whoso List to Hunt, a discontinued GC.

Hey! Any recommendations for these perfumes?

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions (not familiar with these scents and don't have time to look up/cross-reference notes as it's my bedtime), but I wanted to let you know that there's a whole thread of these types of questions, in case you might get more help there (it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of traffic recently, but still might be worth a try): -
Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)
neptuneanblues replied to Vanilla's topic in Recommendations
So, I just started using Minamisoma (https://www.lushusa.com/shower/body-butters-conditioners/minamisoma/9999908130.html), and to me it smells a LOT like Delight & Consternation (https://www.bpal.org/topic/79821-delight-and-consternation/), at least if one got a bottle either with less chocolate globules, or if one didn't roll the bottle much before applying so didn't get much chocolate. I ended up re-homing my Delight & Consternation because the drydown wasn't the best with my skin chemistry, but it's nice to smell something else that's close to how it was upon initial application. -

Hmm... no mentions of Quintessence of Dust? Pretty sure it fits all the parameters here... -
Does a snake oil/forest blend exist? Or suggested combinations for a similar effect?

Sounds to me like you want Golden Priapus! Check out reviews to see if it sounds close...
