Both!   I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? Sure.   I live near a Mast General Store.

Whatever you think I'd like.   Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? This is my favorite season! I don't have any traditions though, unless you could eating all the apple and pumpkin things!   Are you OK with "special deliveries"?

This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? I'd wear jeans, a tee shirt, my Vans, some eye makeup and jewelry.   You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Oh no. I'm so simple! I'd probably pick a nice pair of skinny jeans that actually fit in all the right places, a cute tee-shirt (like from Threadless), and a pair of checkered vans. I am SO SIMPLE.

Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Nope.   If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that?

It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.   Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) I enjoy spices and anything mushroom or owl themed would be cool.   Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? Since I work from home right now - I live in pajamas. I'm a Large.   What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I don't like white chocolate, mint, or fruit flavored. I'm kind of in love with Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit - but it's kind of hard to find. Marzipan is gross. Oh and Fifth Avenue Bars are my first love. I like nuts!   I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I live close enough to a Trader Joe's.   I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need.

If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I love my Scentsy burner! Scentsy specific - my favorite is Love Story. I like pumpkin and cinnamon everything, even though my husband doesn't.   If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Ok!   If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? I think it would be super awesome to receive a pair of socks.   Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? No.   How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Sure!   Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. I have more maple syrup in my fridge than I know what to do with.   I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them?

Sure!   Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? No.   Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? Hmm... There's a few wire wrapping tutorials that I'd like!   Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? No roobios!!   Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? No.   I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? That store looks awesome!!   Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? I've never had these... What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? My walls are light gray.

I will always love Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII.   I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.   I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.   I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

If so, what would you like and what colors? Yes! I'd love a pair of knitted fingerless gloves and a hat like this.

Like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I like jewelry, I don't wear a ton of it though... I do really really love bracelets. I'd be super mega excited if I received bracelets and a ton of em! LOL   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?

I don't even mind used clothing, just not used bedding.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I think that would be cool! =)   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

I'd really love to try some from House of Gloi and The Morbid The Merrier! I am super picky about ingredients, so it's probably best not to grab stuff like Bonne Bell.   -Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? No. -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general?

Here's a few ideas if you decide to go that route: Burt's Bees, Aubrey Organics, Boots, Alba, Kiss My Face, JASON, The Body Shop and mineral eye shadows (no animal testing please).   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Perversion, Blood Kiss, Blood Countess   You mentioned liking knitted things. I have a co-conspirator who would like to help with this. She wanted me to ask you what kinds of textures you like.

I don't think I've ever tried anything from Love Potion Magickal Perfumerie, but I'd love to try Autumnal Equinox 2011, Gianduja and Spinnerett.   Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? ...?   How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Sure.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Clutter, so no.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Black cardigan, black t-shirt, khaki corduroys, black socks, and black fuzzy clogs. A necklace, watch, bracelet and wedding rings.   Kerchiefs? No.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Read!   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? No thanks.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? Spinach, onions, fresh garlic   The Night Circus? I own it, haven't read it yet though.   Geeky soda? I don't drink soda.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Maybe. I am interested in trying the Ghiradelli Carmel Pumpkin Spice squares though!   Do you drink wine? I don't really drink.   Umph! I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? No salted smoke, rose citrus or dead sexy, but yes please to all the others! *sigh*   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? No.   I have a question- What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?   I love purses! I prefer a medium to large size, usually leather (recycled or gently used! I can't remember the last time I purchased a new leather purse and probably won't in the near or even far future), or a really good quality pleather, and sometimes cloth! I definately prefer over the shoulder (the option of a crossbody is a bonus!). I usually go for solid colors. I've been completely obsessed with this etsy seller and own three bags by her. I don't really like bold prints with fun things, I end up changing them out quickly. I also really really love the look of these. The mexican blanket thing seems really big right now, and I love the whole idea. Usually, if it's bohemian, I'm all over it. I also have loved this purse forever. I could go on and on... I REALLY REALLY love purses.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you’ve mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?   1. Any of the Blooddrop or Nocturne Alchemy bottles on my wishlist (too hard to decide on one!) - Especially the ones at Scent Addict. 2. Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison 3. http://www.etsy.com/listing/78190211/sale-little-witchling-witch-hat - if you're a knitter, she sells the pattern too. I don't knit.   How do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? Sure!   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Kinda sad that I didn't get to snag any Winchester anything. The golden pumpkin glossing oil sounds wonderful though!   Who’s interested in Halloween: Montreal? Not really.
