Idk if I have any other wishlists, I will look. These of course are just to give you and idea of the kinds of things I like, please do not drop $100s on an item here, heh.

Would you like anything from Future Primitive? (It's fine to mention OOS things) https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk/
I checked ingredients and everything seems to have sulfates in them so I will take a pass please.
Does anyone have a favorite horror movie that they love? Need a copy/DVD of?
Sadly I do not do horror anymore since having kids. I am a big ol’ wussie. I would not mind nonscary Halloween movies (I have zero).
Do you like smallish knitted stuff (hats, fingerless mittens, scarves, toys, etc. -- be specific!)?
Toys/stuffies, useful stuff like house/kitchen/bathroom cloths, cozies, little bags, anything else that could serve a purpose.
Do any of these knitted items appeal to you?
Odyssey shawl (I have exactly zero shawls), and any kind of little stuffies.
How do you feel about thrift store finds (assuming they're in good condition and have been thoroughly cleaned before shipping)?
I do not mind at all. I AM incredibly bed bug paranoid so yes please to thoroughly cleaned.

I may have bought several full size Rituel de Fille makeup items in a frenzy over their whole vibe. If I tested something once or twice (and it can be sanitized), would you be interested?
I own zero makeup. I do not know how to apply makeup that is not theater makeup or moulage. If you can include things with which to apply said makeup (I have no tools) and some basic instructions, sure!
Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands? They HAVE to be for sensitive skin and cannot contain any non natural sulfates. Harsh soap stuff makes me have eczema. I am open however. All I currently use is LUSH and Cetaphil.
Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated?
Idk, I cannot even find those. I like longer shirts, they need to be like 16 becUse I have huge 36JJ breasts. Pants or shorts or skirts are like between 12/14.
What on the following list would you like to receive something related to (or have something donated to in your and Joni's honor?)
· animal rescue - honestly the thing I would like most for na animal rescue gift is volunteering to do something with the animal(s).
· turtles - turtles are cute. Yah totes.
· inappropriate candies (either in shape or in contents—ex., boozy candies, creatively shaped peanut brittle…) - is it food? Can I eat it? Then yep.
I'll be going to Seattle, London and Paris during this round- anything you'd love to have from any of these locations?
Jewelry maybe? Honey, I love honey from all over. Teas maybe? Stuff unique to the area, like artisan ceramics or pottery, stuff like that.
Is there anything you would particularly like from Japan? Stationary, bento supplies, a particular snack, etc. The fall flavors for kitkats this year are Chestnut, Sweet Potato and Apple Pie.
Bento box maybe, do machine washable or at least EASILY hand washable exist? I love Japanese gummy candy (esp honeydew flavored), almond and chocolate pocky, and am strangely intrigued by sweet potato or chestnut kit kats.
9/22/19
Thinking about really good natural food stores like Natural Grocers or Whole Foods, if you could have ANY bath and beauty or body care items, what would you love?
I never turn down a good lip care item (scrub, moisturizer, gloss). Also stuff for dry feet or hands.
Also what kind of treats, snacks, foods, condiments, bulk items, teas, housewares from the same natural food stores would you love?
They have these almond butter pb cups that are really good. I prefer very artisan teas so I would stick to that.
Also, are there any particular sustainable kitchen or household items you would love to receive?
Uhhhhh define sustainable in regards to this. I use dish cloths and can never get enough of those. Tea steeper. Sponge holder. Spoon rest.
9/23/19
Did anything catch your eye from the Liliths?
I ordered partial bottles or decants of pretty much everything I longed for, but if any need to be upgraded to bottles, etc, I will update.
Would you like anything from Lush?
Hmmm Lush is my most used bath/body/skincare. I use stuff for sensitive/acne prone/combo skin for face, and stuff for really dry sad skin everywhere else. Never tried their haircare. Things I am curious about, twilight shower jelly, lip scrubs and balms.
Eta I currently use tea tree toner, herbalism cleanser, and vanishing face cream.
9/26/19
Is there anything kind of weird and niche about which you feel this way, fellow witchees?
Not sure what “this way” is but I have a weird honey obsession, and I love Tarot decks (I read but more for collecting). If we are talking about more general things I feel strongly about birth autonomy, adequate breastfeeding support, and attachment parenting.
Kickstarter (and similar): Any thoughts, witches?
I love Kickstarter, I have only had one or two that never fulfilled. I am ADDICTED to Kickstarter tarot decks. But baby stuff, food stuff, new tech, almost anything other than music or movie kickstarters, I really enjoy them.
9/28/19
Do you have an Etsy/Goodreads/Amazon or anything else wishlist you’d like to share?
Etsy is at the start of this blog, I do not know if I really have any others tbh. Even my bpal wishlist is out of date.
And what’s your preferred wrist/necklace size?
Wrist 6.75”-7” (I have tiny wrists) or a little larger if a looser style is what the bracelet goes for. I generally wear like 18”-22” necklaces.
Does anything from Bird & Blend take your fancy?
Mocha Chai, Sticky Chai, Nearly Nirvana, Rainbow Chai (this looks especially interesting), Birthday Cake, Pumpkin Spice, Enchanted Narnia. Realistically I would try anything without Licorice (it makes me very sick) and especially their Chais.
Knitting questions have have been asked, but how about wash cloths, anyone need any? What colors??
Wash cloths would be good. Hand towels honestly would be an even bigger blessing if doable (just longer washcloths heh). Greens and/or blues. Purples and pinks also okay.
is there anything from World Market that tickles your fancy?
9/29/19
There's a special thing happening over at Rituel de Fille this weekend, where some gorgeous makeup items are coming back for just a couple of days. I'll be placing an order Sunday or Monday- anything that might strike your fancy, either from the special sale or from the site in general? (https://ritueldefille.com)
How do you feel about tarot or oracle decks? Would you be interested in any (for artwork or for mystical purposes)? New or used?
Yes, yes, yes. I collect them, I DO use the, but also adore them for art. New or used is fine, though I would need to cleanse off the used ones.
Would pigment samples from companies like M.A.C. or Notoriously Morbid tickle your fancy? If so, what colors catch you eye?
9/30/19
do you have a favourite saying or quote?
“Never give up, never surrender.”
How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit?
I used to love spicy foods, but since having kids, I cannot handle much.
How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom?
Unless they come with coloring implements, maybe?
10/1/19
A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable? (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.)
Any fiber issues?
Yes, crochet is fine. Must be soft ass fiber. I have sensory issues with rough, itchy etc stuff.
About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else!
I have either half bottles or decants coming of pretty much everything I am looking for but a Look of Peace and Song to Autumn I was amazing and I would probably take more of that.
Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy? Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y? And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc)
Mead (!!!!) and ciders and liquors. Not really beer, whiskies, etc.
10/2/19
Nail Polish: Do you need or want some? If so, what colors and brands are you interested in?
I suck at nails. Straight up.
Does anyone else do nail wraps?
Not for me.
What about postcards?
Sure.
Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)?
No thanks, NA seems to not work on my skin.
How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt.
Hell yeah.
10/3/19
I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip. Are any of these relevant to you or your household?
Poundcaks, cookies, bars for me. GODS YES caramel. Shortbread sweet if you wanted to appease my husbeast.
Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits?
Yassssss. Just yes.
Would you wear any of these?
Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)?
Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever?
Spoon rest, work out sweat towel, chip clips.
What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites?
Almond butter cups.
10/4/19
How would you describe your crafting style? Whimsical & Cute? Elegantly modern? Totally Traditional?
Cute prolly.
10/6/19
So....we are about to process a metric f*ton of green tomato relish, which is basically bread and butter pickles but with sliced green cherry tomatoes. Is this relevant to any witchees?
Pass, I am not for pickles.
How do you celebrate Halloween/Samhain? Do you dress up? Would you like something for your costume? And am I the only person left on the planet who wears socks?
We take out yon chillins. No socks please.
10/7/19
Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas?
Honestly a lot. No liquorice. I enjoy most black teas, a lot of herbal teas but few very fruity teas unless they are intended to be drank cold. I enjoy dessert style teas. Not overly fond of green tea and do not understand matcha at all.
I make light-weight hairfalls, doll-style, using a variety of fun stuff, like ribbons, lace and soft batting. Would you be interested in receiving a set in the colors of your choosing?
No thank you, no where to wear them. I do think they are pretty though.
And a quick question here--I'm going to this amazing looking event on Saturday--does my witchee see anything they might be interested in? https://www.facebook.com/events/903999316607440/ (the Oddities Market)
This is done now, so not applicable.
10/8/19
How do you feel about enamel pins? Love them, hate them, slightly interested, totally indifferent?
Indifferent. I would probably find a use but do not long for them. Except maybe... disney ones and fandom ones, yeah I guess I like those.
10/10/19
what is your T-shirt/shirt of choice Size?
XL usually (46” bust) but must be scoop or v neck, cannot be crew cut, they squish the bobbles.
10/11/2019
OCTOBER LUNACY! I know turn around time is unlikely, but just saying (JUST SAYING), dear Witchee, did anything catch your eye?
I am good.
also I took some beading classes and have been making bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Would you be interested in any? If so, how big is your wrist or how long would you like your bracelet? Any preferred styles of beads?
Oh yes! Bracelets or necklaces, I do not wear earrings. My wrist is 6.75”-7.25” comfort wise. They are tiny wrists. Maybe err towards 7”. I like 18”-22” necklaces.
10/13/19
If I was to donate to an animal rescue on your behalf as the "lucyboo" component of this swap, is there one in particular that you would choose?
I prefer volunteering to strictly donating, but no I have no preference.
10/15/19
What is your very favorite Halloween candy? If you don't have one/don't do candy, what's a seasonal treat you love?
Prolly nerds. Or those caramel apple lollis.
I just got an email from Lush that their Christmas stuff is now up online! anything you might like?
The lip scrubs look nice.
10/18/19
If you were my witchee, would you enjoy home made (canned) preserves? I'm going home to Can All The Things & I'm thinking some bananas foster butter/sauce might be a nifty thing for you.
Yessssss, and yes, and also yes.

Do you have a preference for a poem or romance novel and what type of Romance novel?
I don't have a particular preference. I do admit that I read a fair amount of romance novels. I love alls kinds, but I ESPECIALLY love historical romance novels. I also dabble through supernatural, fantasy and modern. I'm really into "fiction" novels right now which are kind of like romance novels. ... I like a high component of romance, smuttiness is optional.
As for poems, I can take them or leave them, the most important thing to me is the flow of the poem, how smoothly it reads.
How do you feel about burned mix cds (good time for mood music *giggle*)?
Ehhhh... my issue here is that I don't have a good way to PLAY them. The disk drive on my computer broked :/ and my car doesn't have an ability atm (but will at some point, so maybe?)
Do you have metal/ jewelry allergies?
Yes. Nickle. Nickle. Nickle. No nickle. It gives me a terrible rash. Nothing with nickle. No costume jewelery or white gold. Just sterling silver, yellow gold or other non-metal materials please.
Do you bake/would you be interested in baked goods or related mixes?
I bake a loooooooooooooooot. I also love baked goods. I'm especially interested in anything that might help me learn how to frost a bloody cake? Definitely my weakest link...
Do you like cute stationery, stickers, note cards, stuff like that?
I like it, but rarely use it. Though I did just pick up some pen pals, so I may be more open to this than before <3.
Do you like tea? If so, do you prefer your tea loose or in tea bags?
I love tea! I currently do not have a tea... steeper? strainer? whatever it is called, so I only use bagged right now, but I do like loose tea. One note though, I forgot to include in my questions. I cannot have caffeinated beverages. Chocolate is okay, because the dose is very small, but caffeinated tea or coffee is a no-no. I do sooo love herbal teas though.
What is your favorite Valentine candy?
Hmmm. Chocolate? I'm not a fan of hard candy, is pretty much it.
How would you feel about receiving a knitted / crocheted gift? What kinds of yarny things would you enjoy (scarf, hat, mitts, cowl, socks, etc)?
Oooo. I would love knitted/crocheted stuff. Scarf, hat, mitts, cowl would all be nice. Socks might be a bit odd though, unless for around the house? My shoes fit quite snug
What are your favorite colors for wearable accessories?
Bright jewel tones! Red, green, blue especially.
Would you enjoy some loose beads for your own crafts, or any other crafty bits?
I'd like to learn to make handmade cards, but otherwise have not been crafty lately.
Would you rather get things all together or in a couple of doses?
Hm. I just want my cupid to feel comfy. I don't mind getting things all at once or parceled out.
Kid/Parent/church lady safe or not?
Does not need to be "sensitives" safe. Can be as... anything as you want.
Length of necklace, size of bracelet, post or dangle earrings preferred?
Any length of necklace. Bracelet is pretty... small. 7ish inches long should be okay? I rarely wear earrings, so I have no preference I suppose?
Stuffed critters or other things of the cuddly variety?
Aieeee yes. I love cuddly things. Mmmm soft and cuddly.
Thank you for the card my dear Witch, my rather gloomy day has been brightened!
Sorry for not getting you my questions sooner dear Witch. Here they are
Here are the answers to questions asked in the Switch Witch Thread!
Baked Goods?
Re: baked goods. I Looove them but I'm vegan for lent so depending on when they come, they would have to be vegan and soy free (allergies crrry). I do love all things cooked and related to cooking though!
Recipes?
I adore recipes. I collect cook books and websites and blogs and love them all. I think it would be SO COOL to have like a handwritten recipe collection from someone, like their favorite recipes or family recipes or something. I’ve always wanted one from my family, but alas . Either way, anything cooking is definitely a home run for me.
If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW. What would you order?
Hm, well, I’ve found the Lupers this year are actually all huge fail on me So from the lab… uh, well I need another bottle of Miskatonic University… I spilled mine otherwise I kind of lust after Sachs, so I’d definitely consider that as well. From the Trading Post, I’m dying to try Celeste perfume and bath salts, Kitty Perfume (french vanilla is huge win on me!), and Virginia Bath salts. I’ve never tried anything from the trading post, so I’d love to experience something fun.
What level of nudity are you fine with on items?
Pretty flexible on this. I prefer “tasteful” to, you know, distasteful.
Would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale?
I love yard/garage sales, so I’m perfectly fine with them. I am however super paranoid about bedbugs (specifically D:!) so just make sure it is on the level that-a-way Also, I must say I prefer USEFUL things. I am not a “knick-knacks” person. I would love a box, a pretty piece of clothing, a small piece of art, etc.
Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out?
I LOVE cooking seasonings. I have most of the basics, but I’d love to try some exotic or unusual spices or spice blends. I lust heartily after a lot of the fun things on the Arthur flour website http://www.kingarthu...et-ingredients/ as well as various sites that offer special rubs, seasoning blends, etc.
Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk?
I cannot drink caffeinated beverage (ACK I SHOULD HAVE PUT THIS IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE. So sorry Witch!!!) so I drink lots of herbal teas. No green tea, black tea or coffee for me.
Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)
Snacks? Hmmm. I love white cheddar popcorn. I have no idea about bulk ‘n’ stuff though. I love to snack on almost anything Also, gummy things, like fruit slices, all things chocolate, chocolate covered macadamia nuts are a favorite of mine. I LOVE Jelly beans – jellybelly and starburst jelly beans are my favs, Ritersport is muh favorite chocolate, then Ferrero Rochet.
For my Witchee! Would you rather have HUGE list of things to try (as in my repressed imp orders) or just a highlight list?
Huge list please. Maybe I’ll have something on it that you’ll love!
Mix CDs?
I don’t mind mix CDs, but I don’t love them either. I rarely listen to CDs in general.
How do folks feel about little e-goodies? (articles online, pix, fic, etc)
This seems really neat. If my Witch is making it, it is an A++++. My favorite thing is if someone cares enough to spend some time regarding me. I definitely receive “love” through time .
Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate?
Anything but Dark Chocolate. I can’t eat it until after Lent, but I think it’ll keep!
Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection?
I already have most of the classics, so not really.
So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks?
I don’t have a reader right now, but I’m not super opposed. Audiobooks (e-audiobooks) would be super cool… but they are really expensive
candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay?
I can’t have open flame in my apartment, so Nay.
Get your music player, what are the first 13 songs on Random?
Will do this when I can!
Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like?
I am running out of room for bottles and imps. I would love one with nature scenes, like a forest. My “happy” place is a forest with a stream running through it. Maybe with some flowers on the bank of the stream. It is where I go to when I need to pick up my spirits.
Do you have any blogs you regularly read?
-The Pioneer Woman Cooks (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/)
-Smitten Kitchen (http://smittenkitchen.com)
-Dianasaur Dishes (http://dianasaurdishes.com)
-Budget Bytes (http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/)
-Tastespotting (http://www.tastespotting.com)
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?
Oh gosh. I may have to wait to answer this one. …I’ll come back to this!
Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers?
I love gardening, but as I am in an apartment, I do not right now. I would love to grow fresh herbs, some veggies and maybe a flower or two. I wish I had indoor stuff to do that with… I used to be quite the little herbalist.
Favorite artists or specific paintings?
Oh my. I’ll have to come back to this two. I don’t have any favorite artists/paintings, but I do like specific styles, and I’m kind of picky about it.
Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds?
I like rums, cordials and flavored nummies. Also, I love wine. I am not a connoisseur but do like many types.
Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay?
Steampunk is super cool, I can definitely appreciate how it looks!
Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most?
Zombies. Zombies. And more Zombies. I love zombies. I usually dress up as a zombie for halloween, and I will probably be participating in “run for your lives” a 5k running from zombies! Then maybe Pirates. Probably not ninjas. Except maybe Askaninja.
Do you like those little crocheted amurigami? If so, who needs to be emulated as one?
I loooove these things. Sooo cute. I like animals a lot but if it had to be a person/thing I’d love my wow character (a belf, I could provide screenies if this was possible, or my goblin and my fiance’s undead or goblin. I doubt it is even possible though. But it’d be so cool!)
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 can’t wear traditional headbands or clips as pulling my hair tight gives me tension headaches. I do love loose/cloth headbands in subtle colors, but I could use a little flavor in my life I guess. Little little clippies are nice too. But not my fav.
Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere?
I have my ears pierced, once. And as long as the earrings have no nickle, I like studs/posts or french hooks maybe.
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 hazelnuts and almonds in my chocolate. I do not like fruit in it. I would like to try some “weird stuff”. I love caramel, Ommmg. I prefer milk or white chocolate, and rather dislike dark.
Minion Things I would want...
I don’t know who does what, but I have seen tons of little things people here have made and they are amazing! Having something that someone made just for me would make my little heart explode! I like all the minion things I’ve seen so far, But I am really fond of Carwoman’s stuff, and maybe Catseyes stuff… if it is nickle free?
Minion Alert! On that note, I am currently making vegan cooking, and if anyone wants it, I’d be happy to trade/oblige for free. I bake and might even do some vegan candy if I can muster it up. I make some AWESOME vegan chocolate cupcakes.
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? I prefer more sheer. I love lipgloss/balm a LOT. I love when it smells nummy and feels silky and good. I like subtle colors, or colorless. It must be NON STICKY. Makes me crazy.
What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you?
My favorite animal is the north american panther/ cougar or the ocelot or lynx. I’ve always identified with it. I like all cats, big and little. I love parrots! All things fuzzy and cute have a place for me. I also like snakes.
If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want?
Oh my! Anything foodie would be really nice. Other than that, I couldn’t say. Maybe Cake Smash as a pot dream… Paladin would be cool since I have one in WoW Elf? Or did that sell out. I’d love elf.
Since this is my first Switch Witch, I ran through and started a master list of Minion Offerings.
If this is allowed I'm going to plunk it here. Hopefully it is readable. If I missed you, I apologize, just let me know.

My dear witch. Sorry for the lack of posting. Have a happy Friday!
Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what?
I have no idea what these sites are...
Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you?
Ooo. I love super bright colored pillows, especially collage style or with lots of different fabrics/designs/patchwork style. And I do mean *bright*!
purses? bags? What style/colors?
I have pretty much worn out my purse, I like them big with lots of pockets, because I carry many things. Something that helped me get organized in my purse would be nice... it is a mess!
Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors?
Yes! I love scarves of all kinds. Again, bright colors, (primary or jewel tones) and patterns are lovely, especially fractalesque designs.
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 tried Starring Fragrances, but I do love foody scents Milk things tend to seem sour on me though /cry I’m down with cool products.
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.
Ooo. I would love all of the above. I’ve never been able to try any of these fancy things !
DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither?
DVD right now. But I think my dvd player is broken
Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)
I love socks! All kinds, from ankle to knee high. All colors! Whee!
Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care?
I don’t care. The most important thing (it sounds corny but it is true) is that the witch has me in mind! I love the idea of someone taking time to think about me!
Do you like pirate-related things?
Yarrr... they’re pretty cool
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???
I’ve never tried any of these brands, but my perfume scent preferences would probably apply to soaps. I’ve always wanted to sample some of the soaps I’ve seen on the forums, from bptp, paintbox soapworks, and all kinds! Maybe from bptp trying snake oil soap or shub-niggurath.
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?
Art deco is georgeous... probably my fav.
Would you like caffeinated lollipops?: http://www.lollyphil...cks-caffeinated
I can’t do caffeine... so no
Copied CD's or DVD's?
I don’t see why not.
I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you?
I love Lady and the Tramp. It is my fav disney movie and always makes me melt.
-What three things are you craving right now?
Cheese (since I’m vegan for lent, amg I would kill for cheese!), cuddles, a soft wrap/blanket/afghan to snuggle into.
-paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards.
I will ALWAYS accept with open arms cards (especially blank note cards, thank you cards/etc). I don’t have a printer so I don’t really use much other paper goods.
-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?)
I’ve been dying to try Cake Smash, Underpants (lol), and Candy Butcher. Of course But most of all I have wanted to try the Cinnamon version of Hamadryad. It keeps escaping me! As for a bottle/partial bottle that I would love... Midway. Res’d or original. I have an imp and it is such awesome carnival win on me, that I wish I had more so I wouldn’t be scared to use it. I know it is a pipe dream
-Is there anything in your life that you'd like advice or a "selfhelp" book for?: (ie finances, eating healthier, meal planning)
The one selfhelp book type that I really really need is: What do I want to do with my life? Career assistance. I am so lost that anything that could help me figure out what I want to do would be awesome. Otherwise, finance, eating healthier, self esteem, etc is all great. I have on my amazon wishlist some bits for a book called Boundaries (which looks amazing), as well as the 5 types of love
-If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch?
I would love to meet my witch/witch’s minion. I’m a bit shy and sometimes hard to track down though.
-Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things?
Sure! I don’t really collect anything though.
March 18
-Do you like poetry?
Not particularly.
-What types of scents do you like to scent your home? Which do you totally avoid?
I like gourmandy or woody scents. I avoid florals. However they cannot be dispersed by fire! I am not allowed the eternal flame in my apt.
-What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?
I love comics. My faves are gritty illustrations like Proof, The Living Dead, XXX Zombies, Locke and Key, The Darkness.
-How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles?
I can’t wear nail polish, as my nails are too brittle and thin.
-Household/kitchen goods/gadgets?
Oh Gosh. A flour sifter. Dish towels. Double broiler (haha ya right.) Dutch over (again, yeah right but oh gosh could I use one!), silicone bakewear! A good colander/strainer. Tea infuser. Speciality items. Everything. Oh. A Frosting... pipebag... thingie. You know what I mean.
-Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Do you read comics/graphic novels? Are you obsessed with something (a TV show maybe?) Do you work in a geeky field? Do you play rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons? Would you like gifts related to any of these?
I read comics/graphic novels, but rarely nowadays. I loved a lot of geeky shows (Star Trek, Firefly, Carnivale <- fav ever), I used to roleplay white-wolf and in fact have a Lasombra tattoo. I currently play lots of videogames, from fps to WoW. I’m kind of a huge nerd. I also love Collectable Card Games (though I don’t actively collect them any more), Board games like The Betrayal in the House on the Hill (I’d kill to have this, best game ever), cardish games like Munchkin/Lunch Money/Cthulhu 500. I am a special effects nerd, and do horror makeup as a hobby. I would love gifts pertaining to any/all/whatever.
-Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse
I love all “rich” fabrics. I love the way they feel. My favorite feeling in the world is mohair. It makes me squiggle with joy! It doesn’t matter what it is I do also love chennelle (sp?) in blankets, etc.
-Anything with the Worm Moon update that you're already lusting after?
Minamoto No Yorimitsu Cuts at the Earth Spider. Oh please oh please. Om nom. Schmendrick. Molly Grue.
March 25
-Are you interested in trying Super Villainess (from Villainess - the birthday scent that was just released tonight!) and if so, which item do you like the most? (Soap, Whipped, Smooch, Extrait, Smack...)
Super Villainess actually sounds awesome—coffee is one of my faves! I’ve never tried anything from Villainess, so I don’t rightly know, but I think Whipped, Smooch or Smack would be best.
-If I were to order you a Smack, which four notes would you like?
Vanilla bean, Spice Trade, Red Woods, Espresso
-Would you enjoy receiving a knitted gift from your witch? If so what would you be interested in (scarf, hat, wrist / handwarmers, socks, etc.) and in what colors?
Omigosh. I’d love any of these things, minus socks—because I am very foot peculiar. Scarf or handwarmers are preferred. Colors... oh, I like almost any jewel tone color, with preference on blue, red, green. And I love soft yarn. Esp fleeces like mohair or cashmere. I could snuggle them forever...
March 23
-Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types?
I love. Love. LOVE Starburst jellybeans. Soooo much. I know I like other Easter Candy... just not thinking of it. I do not really like peeps/etc. Nor do I like your average chocolate bunny (the shell chocolate tastes funny to me) or cadbury things... hm. Ok. Maybe just jelly beans
-What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd?
Miskatonic University. I keep meaning to buy a back up but can’t get around to it.
March 22
-Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it?
I am not really into VM. I find their scents to be so strong they nauseate me after a bit :/ I could look I suppose... Lost Woods of Killarney, Morrigan, maybe... I don’t know if they’re still up, but I do covet some Conjure Oils, no lie. I’ll update my wishlist.
-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 love wine. I ESPECIALLY love dessert wines. I’m open for trying anything. I love a good gewurztraminer or late harvest, as well as many reds. Reds *are* typically preferred... but like I said. I’ll try anything!
September 13th
How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?
These would be fine! I’m just starting to “put my house together” so now is the perfect time to get these things. I don’t have anything like kitchen towels, counter containers, a paper towel holder, etc.

Oh. Hm. A semi casual dress in lime green/black/ white big floral pattern.

No kids yet.

Yes they are so cute. 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 especially 10, 14 are all awesome.
Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?
Hrm. Not particularly. Simple, clean, elegant is my taste. Like mostly solid with one or two accent colors, I like lots of patterns but I guess I do particularly like paisley.
Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?
Of course! I drink much tea and wine
If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?
I have never heard of compressed… but I don’t have a tea ball, so loose only if I had a tea ball. Bags I guess is best, though I prefer loose.
September 11th
I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)
I’m okay with almost anything used as long as it is clean and bed bug free (I am very paranoid about bedbugs >_>) I’d prefer no under garments, and if it is shoes, VERY gently used.
Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?
I do not have an etsy shop… I know there are a ton of SW friendly shops but I can’t think of them atm ><
Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

Oh Geez. Uh, I love all kinds, including maple candy. I do not like liquorice and thus not good and plenties, but almost anything else. … I’ll try to think about being more specific.
Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.
Er… shower gel, but I’m not opposed to soap. I don’t really have any favorite scents or brands… I’m VERY b&b uninitiated. So I’m open to enabling? The one thing I will say is that I have very sensitive skin and it dries out easy, so it should be gentle and moisturizing!
How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?
Caramel, hazelnut, almonds, peanut butter are all good!
Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?
I don’t really.
Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!
Yessssssssssssssssss.
Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?
Oh yes, that sounds lovely! I like soft, cozy fabrics. I like bold, jewel tone colors patterns are irrelevant unless it were themes, in which case nature landscapes, especially soothing ones are best!
This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?
I like them, but I’m not sure what I’d use them for.
And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?
Oh gods. I’ll have to come back to this one.

Bpal or not? For BPAL I’m never going to get to try Jingo Kogo but I wish I could, and I wish I could wrangle a bottle of Queen of Spades… it is sentimental to me. Bath oils… hm. I’d love to try almost any bath oil . I’m not one much for sprays unless it is hair gloss maybe?

Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?
I have a ravelry, but I am helpless with knitting and barely not helpless with crochet.

Used to play flute. Sometimes sing. Not really my core interest.
Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?
I do wear t-shirts, but rarely. I’m more of a blouse person (lately, mostly because of my unweildy upper body size.) Size wise, I can never really tell. Large at least, sometimes x-large. My bra size runs at 38 G, and I’m not really used to it or how to size it.

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....
I lurve pumpkin. I can’t burn candles in my apartment technically, but everything non-burny is good.

Never heard of it before. Upon googling, I find it intruiging. I’m not sure it is exactly my style but I’m sure I could find something there.
If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.
Stroopwaffles. A million times. Forever and ever. Actually I just love international candies and sweets. I’m a big sucker. But like anything funsies that is representative, or fun from your area is wonderful!
Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).
Not a mac userrrrr.

I used to cook a ton, my new work schedule has been hurting me.
I would LIKE all kinds of cooking things! Especially cook books. Especially YOUR recipes! I am looking a lot for things that are quick/prepared ahead of time since my schedule allows little time in the evenings. I am currently mostly gluten/soy/dairy free so that would be fun too (but don’t be afraid to send me foods with these things. This is lifestyle, not allergy.)

I love real maple syrup and all its derivatives.
How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)

I’m kinda simple. A night/weekend/week whatever in a nice hotel, eating out at nice restaurants for every meal and maybe seeing a show or a local venue or historical place or wine tasting or summat. Being able to take my time, be luxurious, a hot tub or BIG bathub. So nice.

I’d like to have a reading done… but I can’t/don’t know how to do it, if that’s what the question is.
Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.
Doing horror/special effects makeup. It is the only form of creativity besides writing that I actually do okay at. It allows me to take something and make it into something else. It is like magic.

Clove cigarette, Salted caramel.
1. So... someone has gifted you a $20 gift card from Walgreen's to ONLY use on things for yourself. No necessities here. What do you buy?
I think I answered this in SW.
2. 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.)
Yessssss. I cook a great deal and it is a particular passion of mine. I can use more of almost anything! I especially like spice mixes… that would be so nice.
3. 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 love knitted goods. I like dark, rich jewel tones, or dark shades of gray. Or really any fun stuff that isn’t neon or pastel. I am a little sensitive to hemp and roughspun wool. I do MUCH better the softer the yarn is. I have a penchant for mohair myself :3. I do prefer machine washables BUT if it isn’t, just let me know. I would love a scarf, a hat or gloves/mittens. I don’t have any of those right now and it gets quite cold come winter.
4. Hey swap partner... could you use a new mug?
Sure.
5. Is there any sort of regional food/drink/treat you miss or have always wanted to try?
I would kill for stroopwaffles. I think they’re european. So delicious ><

Oh Sure! I have a bare collection atm.
8. Tim Tams. Yay or nay?
Sure. They are tasty.
9. Now, a question of my own: 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?
I love home made goodies .
10. Would any Bunny like to receive Holiday serving bowls, trays, platters etc...? Winter/Christmas or Thanksgiving/Fall themed?
Hm. Probably… not yet. We’re still building out home stuffs. Well. Maybe. Not sure where we’d put them!
11. My lovely fluffy Snow Bunny, would you like a body scrub 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?
Of course! I’d prefer medium oily-ness. Sugar is probably preferred, as I have a skin condition that salt might anger. Scent wise, anything nice and calming is good, as long as it doesn’t have the scent of liquorice/anise, grapefruit, white florals, vetiver.
12. 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?
I like beeswax candles, though technically I’m not “supposed” to have them in my apt
13. Also what do you think of little soaps? I know most people don't use soaps nowadays but I love the chocolate/vanilla/cocoa/butter/sugar combo scents that I see at beauty stores....
Mm. Maybe.
14. Socks! Slippers! Do you love them or not really wear them? If you love them, do you also love Sock Dreams?
Yes, though I love slippers more. I could use a good pair.
15. Would you wear something like this if your Fox were to knit you one? If so, what color?
Of course for a cowl I’d prefer nice, lighter colors that are not pastels.
16. New question: talk to me of coffee. Whole bean? Ground? Flavored, not flavored? Decaf, whole caff? Favorite roasters? Drip, french press, keurig? BRING ON THE TEA?

Huh. I’ve never seen these but I am very open to enabling
18. Have you tried anything from Cocoa Pink and if so, what products and scents do you like or would like to try?

19. Anybody into nail polish? Any color or formula preferences?
I am not a nail polish user.
20. 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!)
I have no idea at this point... I’ll come back to this.
21. Is there any particular holiday DVD that you don't have that you would like to own?
Princess Bride, Sweeney Todd (new one), 40 year old virgin…

I prefer anti-heros or vigilantes tbh. I prefer independent comic stuff.
23. 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’ve never owned any lush… But I don’t take a lot of baths, mostly showers. Always looking for soap/scrub/body lotion/lip balm/Shampoo conditioner.
24. Would you like a Paintbox from Paintbox Soapworks? If so, which scents?
For a sampler:
*The Man in the Moon - Twinkling blue musk, Hungarian lavender & cuddly vanilla bean
*Lavender Truffle - Dutch-process cocoa, bittersweet chocolate, Hungarian lavender & a touch of vanilla
*White Cotton Sheets - Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Breezy white florals, dry musk, hawthorn & a touch of ozone
*Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh - A shimmering, decadent bar, smoky, silky & deliciously unisex
*Big in Japan - A translucent green blend of matcha tea, crisp yuzu & serene sandalwood
*Beet It - A nod to that most maligned of roots, the Noble Beet. Earthy, musky, bitter-sweet & surprisingly naughty
For my favorite scent: Gingermilk <3 would love a slip in this.
25. NEW QUESTION! - Do you have kids (or kid-like pets) who your fox may want to take into account, either in terms of a little extra goody or simple safety?
I have three kitties. String/string like stuff is a no-no. They will eat it. It will be bad
26. How do you feel about honey/beeswax? Would you like any?
Yes to all of the above!
27. NEW QUESTION: Are you a Trader Joe's fan, who either doesn't have a store nearby or just loves their stuff and has a wishlist?
