    --What is your favorite Halloween/Trick-or-Treat candy and would you like to have it included?
    Candy Corn (has to be Brachs though, I'm a candy corn snob) and 3 Musketeers. Sure, but not too much.
     
    --How much edible stuff do you want/would you expect? A little something in every package? A couple of treats along the way?
    Not too much edible stuff as I've put back on a few lbs lately. Need to cut back on the sugar a bit.
     
    --Assuming that I have a budget of X, would you mind if there were one big package that is 1/2X with the rest significantly smaller, but still fun, or would you prefer a more 1/13X breakdown?
    I lean towards the first option, but really whatever is fine with me.
     
    --Reveal - would you prefer it in the first package so we can chatter about things as you open, at the very end so you can drag out the surprise, or dealer's choice?
    Dealer's choice.
     
    --If you've noted that you like coffee/tea/hot cocoa or anything of the sort, can you elaborate? Do you like/not like flavored varieties? Would you prefer whole bean/ground/bagged/looseleaf/instant/have-to-heat-it-in-a-pan-with-milk? Do you feel like you've answered this question over and over again?
    I slightly prefer ground, but whole bean is cool (we have a grinder). Love flavored, no preference as to loose or bagged, instant is cool. I'm pretty easy as long as it's yummy.
    Kitchen stuff? Say spatulas with skulls on or an apron with a Halloween theme (not that I'm fantasizing about making myself one from something like, say, this or anything)
    I don't cook and prefer to stay out of the kitchen.
     
    A Game of Thrones: are you a fan of the TV series? Have you read the books or would you want to?
    Tried the books and just couldn't get into them. Watched one episode a couple months ago and thought it was funny (I was told it's not supposed to be that funny lol). Might try it again but I'm not in any hurry.
     
    Would you like any home made jams? I can guarantee they are very yummy.
    I am not a jam person but dh and the kids like it.
    Decorative box?
    Probably not. We have a ton already, but if it's something unique or really fun, sure.
     
    On a scale from horrified to enraptured, how do you feel about this fabric? (ETA: if it were to be, say, a bag? >.> )
    I like it! I think it would make a fun bag.
    -Both Sihaya Designs and Elements and Artifacts did updates this week - anything that interests you? From Sihaya, and of the wing earrings. They are all gorgeous. From Elements, I love the Open Grave necklace and the DDLM earrings.
     
    -I have a pretty massive farmer's market by me - is there anything that you would like from there?
    Maybe some honey?
     
    -Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for?
    BodyArtForms.com, amazon, Etsy
     
    -Are there hot drinks that you like this time of year? If so, what would you like?
    Flavored coffees.
     
    -Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!! ?
    Yes, but all very expensive. lol
     
    -How about homemade infused vodkas?
    Nope, don't drink.
     
    -Name five small things you could use, but might not think to get for yourself?
    One of those cups you stick in the freezer then put your drink in instead of using ice (am I making sense? lol), popcorn seasonings, not sure what else. I'll think about it.
    Jewelry: Gold or Silver?
    Either, though I like copper more than gold.
     
    Whether you do or do not nail polish, would you be interested in nail wraps of any sort? Could be festive or not, any brand (in addition to things like Jamberry, there are plenty of other brands out there).
    No. I don't like stuff on my fingernails and I have enough for my toes.
     
    Would you like some home...made(?) fall pictures or photos to frame or put in a photobook? I will stalk the toads in my yard for you! Any particular things you'd enjoy photos of?
    Spooky trees, toads are cool, neat looking moths, stuff like that.
    Do you like plushies?
    Maybe. I would love an Alien/facehugger type one, but not sure what else.
     
    Lip balm: tin or tube?
    Neither please.
     
    Do you or would you burn incense? What kind? How about scented (or unscented) candlesWe can't burn incense anymore due to asthma and migraine issues.
     
    Do you prefer physical books, or would some form of e-reader book be okay? And if ebook, do you prefer Kindle, Nook, iBooks, or something else?
    Either would be fine. I have a kindle. I do have a lot of of kindle books like Lovecraft, Poe, etc.
     
    Oh, and are you okay with Graphic Novels/Comics?
    Sure, though I prefer the really twisted kind and horror ones.
    Skulls?
    Yes please! I collect skulls, skeletons, etc. Any and all.
    If I were going to make you a polymer figurine-or-pendant-or-earrings-or-..., is there any particular thing you'd like more than other things(ex: a tiny 'you', or witch's hat earrings, or a ghost pendant, etc.)?
    Not earrings since I don't really wear traditional earrings. Maybe a pendant? Something like a hatchet or body part? More gruesome than cute? lol
     
    Are there any books or short stories (or poems) you especially associate with this time of year or always want to reread in autumn?
    Not really
     
    Speaking of wishlists, and here is another question... could everyone please link to their various wishlists?
    http://amzn.com/w/3F0132MYIB7XS
    List 5 or 6 TV shows/Movies that you enjoy watching (and possible villains, if you can think of any):
    My list:
    Doctor Who (Weeping Angels, the Silence)
    Firefly
    Supernatural
    Alien series (love these, in fact I'm getting a xenomorph tattoo next year).
    Star Trek (not the new movies though )
    Twin Peaks
    The Walking Dead
    I love movies like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Evil Dead, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Hellraiser, etc).
     
    Hated Candies?
    Black licorice, taffy, twizzlers, anything really chewy (like caramels).
    How sick a sense of humour can you cope with?
    I have a truly sick and twisted sense of humor. I highly doubt anything would go too far.
    Food items I would love to eat again?
    Not that I can think of. I'll give it some more thought though.
    Mixed cd?
    Sure.
     
    Bath and body companies?
    I'm open to trying whatever. Just no hair stuff (check out my avatar for explanation lol). Also, no face products please (my piercings can get irritated by certain things).
    What kind of tea do you like?
    Mate teas are just about the only ones I drink anymore.
     
    Vintage scary?
    Yes!
     
    Do you have any favorite Halloween/fall-theme animals?
    Bats.
     
    I do a lot of resin work, specifically, insects in resin. Would receiving one be horrifying? Okay? Interesting?
    Sure! Sounds cool. (just not roaches please)
     
    What type of cellphone/mobile, music player, reader, tablet, or other gadgets are your babies? What are your opinions on accessories for them? Hard/soft cases, decals, danglies, carriers, etc?
    I have a Samsung Note 2 but I don't need anything for it (not that they even make much for my phone).
     
    Fountain pens?
    Nope.
     
    Are there any animals, birds or bugs that you don't like, scare you, or just plain freak you out? For example, I had a co-worker who thought owls were creepy, and personally, I'm not a huge fan of cockroaches.
     
    There aren't any that scare me. though I found crickets, cockroaches and palmetto bugs disgusting, cicadas both weird me out and intrigue me (there are some kick ass cicada ear weights I'm saving up for), and spiders don't really bother me too much. Oh, and I hate possums.
    As for little plastic critters, no thank you. My animals have not been graced with much intelligence so they will try to eat them.

    Ashlultum

    By femmefatale,

    In the imp and on my fingers it's a very pretty, musky vanilla.
     
    Wet on my wrists: Holy cow, LILAC! Wow, where did my wonderful vanilla and musk go? Where's my COCONUT???
     
    Drying: Ah, thank you lilac for quieting down. You know, you really don't have to scream to be heard. And there is my coconut barely whispering to me and my vanilla and musk are coming out of hiding.
     
    Dry: It's beautiful. Really. Everything has blended nicely and keeps slightly shifting. Very sexy and feminine, without being girly, trashy, or too sophisticated. I'm getting a bottle.
  3. femmefatale

    Bakeneko

    By femmefatale,

    At first it's a very generic perfume smell, with something...else that I can't quite put my finger on.
     
    As it dries it becomes a slightly spicey amber musk with just a hint of citrus tea and something floral.
     
    I think I really like this one and I'm glad I got a bottle. It semlls a bit more sophisticated on me than the other oils I tend to wear, but it's nice having something different. I have a feeling I will use this more during cool weather than in the summer.

    Bayou

    By femmefatale,

    Oh, wow, this stuff is potent! Caught be by surprise how strong it is.
     
    Bayou is a very interesting aquatic. It's not a fresh clean aquatic nor is it a deep dark one. This one is definately murkier like a swamp.
    It reminds me summertime in Fla, canoeing under a canpoy of trees, hot and humid, somewhat dank, with a touch of swamp flowers and moss and wet vegetation.
    I think I really like this, though it does make me feel a bit homesick. Doubt I would buy a bottle, but I'm glad I got the imp.
     
    ETA: Sadly, it ended up smelling like old, stale, really rank cheap drugstore perfume. Off to swap pile!

    Black Lily

    By femmefatale,

    I have found that most florals do not love me. For example, I had expected to love roses and hate lillies but I've found it's just the opposite.
     
    This is just a beautiful scent. I would say that it strikes me more of an elegant scent, but thankfully, not an old lady one.
    At first it seems to be a fresher lily, but as it dries it becomes a creamier, more complex lily scent.
     
    I really like it. I'm going to try it a few more times, but it might end up on my bottle list.

    Black Pearl

    By femmefatale,

    Ooooh, I like this one.
    The coconut and musk were stronger when I first applied it, but then they faded and I catch a hint of the hazelnut and iris. I still smell the musk in the background, I just wish the coconut lasted longer.
    I'm glad I got a bottle and can't wait to see what it's like once the weather warms up.
  7. femmefatale

    Blood Pearl

    By femmefatale,

    Waahhhh, where is my coconut??? At first it's just strong and slightly sharp orris. As it dries the musk comes out and softnens it, but still no coconut.
    I think this would work better for hubby, though if I can find some single note coconut to layer this with, then I think I would love it for myself.

    Brisingamen

    By femmefatale,

    I'm normally a little hesitant with amber. When it's good, it's goooood, but when it's bad it's just awful. And unfortunately, amber many times goes a bit pungent on me, or powdery.
     
    This one doesn't do either (well, maybe just a touch powdery, but in a soft, pretty way). It's beautiful amber (strikes me as a darker amber blends perhaps) with a touch of creamy florals and a hint of spice. Very pretty!
     
    I am definitely keeping my imp, but could actually see getting a bottle down the road.

    Caliban

    By femmefatale,

    This was actually the first bpal scent I wanted to try and I am soooo glad I finally did.
     
    In the bottle it smells just like fresh cut grass. OMG, it is so yummy. I loved that smell growing up in Fla, the mix of cut grass and something wet.
    As it begins to dry a sweetness comes out and something floral. Also, a wonderful salty aquatic. I don't really get the wine, which is actually fine with me.
    It's very tropical and seductive. I absolutely LOVE it. Will definately get a bottle.
  10. femmefatale
    Wet: Very masculine cologne. Luckily it doesn't last too long.
     
    Drying: Once again, smells different on each of my wrists. My right wrist amps the musk, my left amps the patchouli. The florals are beginning to come out, as is the sandalwood.
    Not getting any of the yuzu or lime. I think the lavender may be lurking underneath it all, but it's more of an impression.
     
    It's a really lovely scent, though I think it might be better suited for hubby. Can't wait to try it out on him!

    Dirty

    By femmefatale,

    At first I did get the fresh linen, just washed scent. Then it turned a bt more floral (plumeria?). Hubby said it smells like walking into Bath and Body works (which he likes). I'll probably keep the imp, I think it would make a nice summer scent, but I don't think I'll buy a bottle. I'm glad I got to try it though.
  12. femmefatale

    Djinn

    By femmefatale,

    I got this mostly for hubby and omg, I am so glad I did! It smells so sexy on him! At first it was a smokey musk and then dried to a wonderful fresh and slightly sweet scent with just a hint of smoke in the background. I love it and will very likely be ordering a bottle.
    Of course, now I'm really wondering how it would smell on me? hmmm...
     
     
    ETA: Tried it on me and it seems to have a bit more spice in it than on dh. I really like it.
  13. femmefatale

    Dorian

    By femmefatale,

    Wet: A nice warm vanilla with a hint of lemon and musk. mmmm.....
     
    As it dries the musks come out more. Yum!The lemon is still there, but just a hint and the vanilla is dark and warm, not overly sweet at all. I always hated vanilla scents because they were usually too sweet and made me ill. The lab changed that! I have finally discovered my love for vanilla.
    This is definately sexy and is going on my bottle list!
     
     
    ETA:
    uh-oh. I'm getting a headache. I don't know if it's the perfume or not, but I think I'll wait on getting a bottle until I try it again to see.
  14. femmefatale

    Dragon's Milk

    By femmefatale,

    In the bottle: A nice warm vanilla
     
    Wet: Vanilla with something sharp...I swear it almost smells like bug spray?
     
    As it's drying, it still has the chemical sharpness. I have no idea what went wrong, but I am not liking this. I will give it a while longer, hoping it will morph into something I like, but if it doesn't, it's off to swaps. Or perhaps it might work better in a locket?
     
    ETA:
    Ok, now the sharpness has faded and it smells like a rich vanilla incense. Lovely. Will try again.
  16. femmefatale

    Eat Me

    By femmefatale,

    I normally don't like food scents, so this would definately not have been a scent I would've tried if it wasn't part of a group of imps I got. But wow, I am glad I did! I was so afraid that it was going to have that sickly sweet smell, but it doesn't! It was sweeter smelling in the imp, but not overly so. Just pure cake and vanilla. Once on it dried down to a warm vanilla with yummy yummy currants.. And I'm not a big vanilla fan (usually too sweet for my taste), but I LOVE this. The throw is good, but not too strong and lasts a fair amount of time.
    I'm really considering getting a bottle of this.
  17. femmefatale

    Eden

    By femmefatale,

    In the imp I smelled something sharp and...cherry?
    Wet, very strong icky almonds. I almost washed it off right then, but forced myself to wait and see.
    As it's drying down, the sandalwood and coconut comes out and the almond calms down. Makes me think of sitting at an outdoor rest. on the beach in the evening. Something I would wear when I want a summer scent, but with a sexy twist.
    I like it, though I will have to try it another couple times before deciding on a bottle.
     
    ETA:
    Tried it again and it's ok. I doubt I will get a bottle.
  18. femmefatale

    Embalming Fluid

    By femmefatale,

    YES! As soon as I smelled it, that's exactly what I thought of. I used to wear the green tea perfume all the time and loved it.
     
    As it dries it becomes less sharp, but doesn't morph all that much. Not really getting any of the musk, mostly green tea with a hint of aloe and lemon. Will be great during the summer!

    I'm not sure when I'd play it but it looks like fun.

    I lean towards fun, but really either.

    We don't do a lot other than the usual trick or treating and birthday cake/presents (it's my youngest daughter's birthday). We do like to decorate (in fact, much of it stays up year round lol). Lots of skeletons/skulls, ravens, etc. in all styles. I really love DDLM and we usually try to do a little something for it.

    Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold. Socks, scarves, hats or arm warmers?
    I'm a knitter so I am overrun with knitted arm warmers, but wouldn't mind a non-knitted pair. I usually don't like scarves but after many years dh found me one I love so that's pretty much all I wear. A hat would be good (I shave my head so please something soft and stretchy) and maybe socks (knee high or above).

    Faustus

    By femmefatale,

    Hubby tried this one since some reviewers said it was more masculine. At first it was rather sweet. I could've sworn I caught a bit of honeysuckle.
    As it dried down it took on a smokey incense smell. Really very nice. I think I'll be trying this one myself soon
  21. femmefatale

    Gennivre

    By femmefatale,

    Wow, this one took me by surprise. In the bottle, strong! Youch. On though it started mostly dominated by the tea, but as it dried it began to sweeten. I didn't really get much of the mint come through, though I did catch some of the lemongrass. Has a mild throw once it dries, although next time I might put a bit more on.
    This really is a beautiful scent and I am so happy I got a bottle of it. I think it will become of of my regular scents, esp. once the weather begins to warm up.
     
    ETA:
    It smells even better after a couple hours. A perfect balance of flowers and tea, with a *very* slight powder scent. YUM!
  22. femmefatale

    GOP

    By femmefatale,

    I didn't want to like this one (it's the GOP afterall....shudder), but I am ashamed to admit....I do. At first it is more on the masculine side, but then developes into a slightly sweet, woodsy scent with a hint of musk. It's really very unisex and gorgeous on both me and dh.
    I will definitely keep and wear this, while just ignoring the name.
  23. femmefatale
    One big gift or a few small ones?
    Either is fine with me.
    Is there something special that can only be gotten in New York that you would want?
    Something from CB: I Hate Perfume! Especially Mr. Hulot's Holiday or Gathering Apples.
    new bpal?
    I haven't ordered anything in months because nothing really caught my eye, but if there is a decant you think I would like then I've love to try it.
     
    it's canning season. how would you feel about a small jar of jam/jelly/pickles/etc?
    I'm not big on jams, jelly, etc but my kids and husband like them.
    How do you like your incense, oil burners, or candles? Would you use an oil burner and essential oils? If so, what would be some longed-for essential oils?We have a ton of oil burners and candles (as well as tarts, oils, etc). Maybe if there's an oil that smells like a pomander ball for around the holidays.
    Halloween stuff?
    Of course! We actually have a Halloween corner that stays up all year with my favorite items (they get distributed around the house during the fall then back to their corner in Nov.). We have a ton of decorations, figures, etc though and we are running out of room, but I will always find the room for something cool or strange (esp. Day of the Dead). My kids also love Halloween window clings (scary or cute).
     
    What magazines do you read/ have subscriptions to?
    None. Not really a magazine person.
     
    Second question: What kind of socks or tights do you like?
    I like socks and even have a seperate wishlist just for Sock Dreams. lol
     
    Third Question: Who would like to get a box in the mail with different teas in them? If so, what kinds?
    "I may or may not have a tea problem... I have a lot of it. Please only send me tea if it is super omg amazing because I have a huge box full."
     
    Yep, I'm just going to 2nd that.
     
     
    Do you use loose leaf or tea bags? Do you need any tea supplies, like bags, pots, or infusers?
    I prefer loose, but bags are fine also.
     
    How do you feel about sample sizes or testers of things? (Obviously I mean new, things that I've never opened kind of samples)
    It depends on what it is. Not so much makeup or skincare samples, though I do love Cocoa Pink samples.
     
     
    Speaking of Villainess, who here is a fan? Would you want any of their goodies? If so, what are your scent wishes, and which types of products would you like? (i.e., Soap, Sugar Scrub, Moisturizer etc)
    I do love Villainess, but I have a ton I still have to get through before they go off.
     
    Favorite movies? You can mention a genre or a director or time period.
    We are big horror movie fans here (esp. zombie and cheesy teen horror movies or over the top B horrors). I also love Star Trek movies (though not the newest one ) and 1980's movies.
     
    Do you need any kitchen supplies?
    Nope, in fact we're trying to downsize what we have in the kitchen.

    Hellhound on my Trail

    By femmefatale,

    Oh. My.
     
    At first is does start out a bit herbal and a little astringent, but as it dries that fades and out comes a delicious boozy vanilla with just a hint of spice.
    It ends up though a smokey slightly spicy vanilla that is just...
     
    Both hubby and I tried it and on him it kept a more smokey herbal feel w/a touch of vanilla, where on me it was a rich spicy vanilla with a tiny hint of booze and a very slight smokiness.
     
    I *love* this

    Sooo. Yules. Those just happened. What are you interested in, Bunny?
    Pumpkin Masala Rooibos & Rose Red.
     
    Any crafty pursuits you've been dying to experiment with? Would you like a little kit of something you've never tried? Do you need any particular items for your new or existing stash?
    With all of my knitting projects I don't really have time for anything else atm.
     
    Bunny, could you use a 2012 calendar, and, if so, do you like big monthly ones or the page-a-day type? No thank you, we have a 2012/13 one.
    Are you a big ol' nerd for any particular subject? Science, math, linguistics, etc? Or particular authors/fandoms?
    Star Trek (original & TNG), Doctor Who, and I absolutely love reading about different world religions & belief systems (both present and past, especially when it has to do with how cultures deal with death) and astronomy.
     
    Does anyone have issues with gently used things like books, etc.?
    Nope, not at all! (just please, no undies )
    And I actually prefer used book when possible, as long as they have all the pages and aren't falling apart. The only thing I prefer to buy new are tarot decks.
    Do you have a strong preference for any sort of bath and body product brands (i.e. etailer/etsy type cos, department store/specialty brands like Lush) or are you cool with anything that doesn't smell like Bunnybane?
    As long as it's cruelty free and preferably without parabens.
     
    A question: reveal, yes or no?
    I hope so, but whatever my fox prefers.
     
    Any favorite cuddly characters?
    Not that I can think of. I've always wanted a plush Adipose though.
     
    Charity gifts? Either fair-trade type stuff, or virtual type gifts, like vaccinations or school supplies being bought on your behalf, or something along those lines?
    I'm very picky on what charities I support. I will try to make up a list.
     
    Bunny, are you interested in tarts from Two Timing Tart? What scents, if any, are you interested in?
    Kitchen Marmalade sounds nice, along with Peacock Plumes and Exp. #5 (if it's not already gone!).
     
    Do you need any holiday recipies? Is there something in particular that you'd like baked or made for you? And for those of you doing the no sugar/low sugar, etc. thing these days, how about savory things?
    No thank you, unless it's for the kids.
     
    Do you like/need boxes for perfume/knicknacks?
    Since downsizing my oils I actually have too many boxes now.
    Moxie Noveau:
    OMG, I have been wanting to try so many things from there!
    Bareknuckle Sass*
    Gunslinger Romance
    Southern Belle
    Tomboy
    Girls with Cigars*
    No Tanlines
    Dear Santa*
    Sinter Klaas
    Candlemas*

    Favorites
    color- (to wear) dark grey, purple, red, coral, some pinks, etc. Most of the socks colors I picked in my Sock Dreams wishlist are what I wear.
    gemstone- citrine, garnet, opal, pink topaz, any blue (though not really turquoise), peridot
    animal- sloth, sea turtles, octopus, elephants
    phobias- small spaces, black crickets, ticks
     
    Nano-ing:
    I don't know what that is.
     
    facebook/twitter:
    No.
     
    If I were to send you chocolate is there anything I should avoid as in nuts, cherries etc.? Also, what are some of your favorite holiday candies?
    Dh's blood results came back and I am cracking down on what we eat for a while, so please no candy. Well, I guess a little bit of dark chocolate (esp. with mint ) would be ok and candy canes are fine since dh doesn't like them, but the kids do.
     
    Does anything from Fusion Sweets interest you?
    No thank you.
     
    Interested in anything from the Elements and Artifacts Yule update?
    It seems that everything I like is either reserved or too expensive.
     
    If your fox/bunny were to gift you with a giftcard from anywhere, as in any store foodwise, music wise etc. what giftcard would you like?
    Probably Sock Dreams, bodyartforms.com, or Cocoa Pink. If we are talking b&m type stores, then Sephora or Target.
    If I were to place ONE LAST Weenie order, (uh, which I will) what would you want me to include for you? (presuming that is that the order can get here in time, bites nails)?
    La Calavera Catrina or The Wiley Grasser. Those were the ones I was most interested in.
     
    Will you be away for any part of the round?
    Nope!
     
    Anyone else with an Etsy store and a member of Tradeaholics (or you could join) and interested in bartering for gifts for their bunny?
    Normally I would offer up some knitted goods but as it is I will be pushing it to get done all my prjests before the holidays.
     
    What type of books do you like? Dying to read anything?
    I have some on my amazon wishlist, the rest I'll be checking out from the library since we have so many books. Seriously. My parents threatened to never help us move again unless we donated some of our books. I think we have more boxes of books than everything else combined.
     
    Rose/mastic flavored things?
    Sure, I'll try them.
     
    i live in the city of the chicken wing. if i were to send you something savory, what's your heat tolerance (or sweet and heat for that matter)?
    I'm fine with hot stuff, though dh is more about hot foods than I am.
    Honey/beeswax?
    I like it in body stuff.
     
    Trader Joe's?
    We actually have 2 within 15-20 minutes, so we're good.
     
    Holiday movies:
    Not that I can think of.
     
    Superheroes:
    Not really.
     
    would you like a Paintbox from Paintbox Soapworks? If so, which scents?
    Not really, but thank you!
     
    Would my bunny like anything in particular from Lush? I do have access to an actual Lush store, and also wouldn't mind ordering retro items online.
    I don't have much from Luch (other than what a super sweet person on here sent me ), but I would be interested in the Orange Blossom solid perfume and the Chilli Tingle lip tint.
     
    Cocoa Pink?
    Definitely yes! I have a seperate section on my wishlist for Cocoa Pink goodies.
     
    Anybody into nail polish? Any color or formula preferences?
    I have a box filled with nail polish I rarely wear, and in just about every color, so no thank you. I really need to use up some of what I have.
     
    If you found a $50 bill on the ground and were to place a Lab order, what would be in it? (And shipping is free through the magical BPAL unicorn!)
    Bottle of GRR (I get a lot of headaches and just spilled much of my bottle of OOF during a shaky, very severe headache, but would really like to get GRR now since I think it would work better for me) and La Calavera Catrina, plus an imp of Pool of Tears.
     
    Tim Tams?
    Sadly, no. They are yummy, but due to dh's recent blood work, goodies like that are a no-no for now in the house.
     
    Talk to me of coffee. Whole bean? Ground? Flavored, not flavored? Decaf, whole caff? Favorite roasters? Drip, french press, keurig? BRING ON THE TEA?
    Love love love coffee. It is the one addiction I allow myself. Prefer ground, but whole bean is good too. Decaf, half-caf, full-caf...whatever is good! And I love flavored coffees as well as unflavored, as long as it smells good. Our favorite coffee was Highlander Grog from Avalon Coffee, but since moving down to Va the only time we have been able to get it is when my in-laws occasionally bring some down.
     
    Who else here loves or would like to try Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics? If so, what would you like?
    I have a few lip tars that I like, but I'll have to look a see what others ones I want to try.
     
    Would any Bunny like to receive Holiday serving bowls, trays, platters etc...? Winter/Christmas or Thanksgiving/Fall themed?
    My parents gave us a complete set of Christmas disshes, etc so we're good.
     
    I know some people are squicked out at the idea of eating things that other people make, or the thought of deep fried cookies sends them into cardiac arrest. If you were my fox, would you like to receive some homemade goodies, or would you prefer that your goodies came from the store?
    Dh just got back some test results and I have now cracked down on what we eat, so please no baked goods. A little dark chocolate or something would be fine though.
     
    My lovely fluffy Snow Bunny, would you like a bodyscrub made by me? If so, what scent(s) would you like, if you had to think along the lines of essential oils? And would you prefer sugar or salt? A dryer scrub or one that's more oily/moist?
    Sure. Probably peppermint.
     
    Dear snow bunny, do you like candles? if yes, then what kind? scented (what scents), unscented, what colors, do you like them plain/painted on the outside/with decorations attached to the surface/sculpted?
    Also what do you think of little soaps?
    I love tartes and room oils that I can burn in a diffuser. Nothing too sweet or foody. I live cinnamon based scents during the winter, as well as citrus (orange or lemon).
     
    Socks! Slippers! Do you love them or not really wear them? If you love them, do you also love Sock Dreams?
    Love love love Sock Dreams. My Amazon wishlist actually has a Sock Dream section.
     
    Do you do a Christmas tree? If yes is it themed or specially colored or do you just have all different ornaments and such?
    Most of our tree is decorated with ornaments the kids have made, ones from when I was a kid, or just random ones we've been given. We can't do glass or anything breakable due having 3 cats that like to climb up the inside of the tree.
     
    Would you like a special ornament?
    Our tree is running out of room for ornaments and we don't even put up all the ornaments we have.
     
    Is there any sort of regional food/drink/treat you miss or have always wanted to try?
    hmmm...not that I can think of.
     
    hey swap partner...could you use a new mug?
    We have a ton since I had a mug obsession for a while and we have run out of room, so I'm not allowed any more.
     
     
    Do you like knitted goods? If so, what would you like, what colors, and do you have any sensitivites or preference when it comes to type of yarn (ex: wool: yay or nay? Do you prefer machine washable materials? Do you not care?)?
    I do most of my knitting since I can be pretty picky about fit and yarn, but I can usually use supplies (just lmk if you would like ideas and I can go through what I have and need).
     
    I live near a brick and morter location for a really, really good spice store. would you use cooking spices and if you would, what would you need? (it's penzey's if you want to google it). Probably not, at least not cooking spices (though dh would use them, I don't cook). Stuff like cocoa or something I can add to flavor coffee will always be appreciated though.
    ETA: I have one not that far from me! Next time I'm in Richmond (maybe Monday?) I'lm going to check it out.
     
     
    Someone has gifted you a $20 gift card from walgreens to ONLY use on things for yourself. no necessities here. what do you buy?
    Burt's Bees Peppermint foot cream, Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller (mine is almost finished) and if there is enough left over, a travel size yummy smelling hand cream (my hands get so dry during the winter).
