*2013 version coming soon!*

 

Ketchup answers and things I forgot on my questionnaire ... last updated 7th October

ETSY wishlist:http://www.etsy.com/people/PrayUntoBastet/favorites?ref=si_fav (don't look at favourite stores, some of them are there specifically to remind me of presents for other people)

Amazon wishlist

 

Stuff I really don't need more of:

 

Mugs - I have so many, I even have some stored in the cellar

 

 

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) Bento supplies would be wonderful, but don't need an actual box. I love spice mixes.

Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) Not really for me

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I love good quality chocolate like Lindt, Hotel Choclat etc, I hate things like Cadburys,they've really gone downhill since being bought out. Don't mind 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 have no idea what any of these sell!

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I like homemade foods but I'm not sure it's practical to mail internationally.

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. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! Cushions, nail varnish, coffee syrups, gourmet type sauces & spice mixes

What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurantsAsian food of all types - Indian, Thai, Nepalese, Japanese, Malaysian, Korean, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan all stand out! My long list of favourite restaurants matches that too.

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? I like maple sugar but just got some from my unbirthday swap

What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Firefly, Babylon 5, Crusade

Do you have an eReader and if so which one? Nope

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I don't use them much but have been drooling over the idea of a Trading post Shub or Misk U candle

Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? No, I don't think so

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't). I drink, but not vodka, and I think customs wouldn't allow home made through

Marzipan? I do like it, but only in small amounts

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? Spices, if they came with a clue how to use them!

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)? socks, fingerless gloves or arm warmers

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, they get enough treats from me!

How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Love it, especially if it's mostly savoury

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. Sure

Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? No thanks

Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Modern are on my Etsy faves, Classic - lots of the Pre-Raphaelites, with Millais, Rosetti and Dadd being top.

If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? Decorated boxes - I have some on my Etsy list

Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs?Kumiho and Mr Ibis

What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? I keep meaning to try some claw polish, especially Embalming Fluid or Robotic Scarab. I usually buy Nails Inc. stuff

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Love to try - no idea if I'd like them

What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Pale wood laminate, dark counters, hideous green & rust tiles ... not what I'd pick

 

Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?

If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom. From carwoman's Etsy shop - I ordered a pendant and she sent me a small extra one free, and it was exactly the other design I'd been contemplating She rocks!

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike?Like: Cornflowers, Dislike:Pigeons

If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments?not for me thanks

 

Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive.

a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows*

B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?

c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously?a) and non-live things are fine and can be left at the shop next door if I'm not in, c)ask Quillifer

 

What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? gently used is fine as long as there's no body fluids!

Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey?no

CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something alltogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...? I'm in great need of bowls - deep purples, blues and greens would be lovely

If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that? If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? - not for me thanks

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? XKCD, Bill Hicks, Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey

 

You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. 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? Black trousers of some sort (probably leggings), bike boots like this, v-neck tunic top like this

What store would that be, and what would you look like? This coat that I've wanted forever, this shirt, some (more) plain black leggings. They don't sell shoes so I guess I'll go barefoot!

 

You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). BPTP belladonna yoga pants, the coat from the link above, some Leonida's chocolates

 

The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. (www.scarefest.com) If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig? The only horror themed stuff I really like is Roman Dirge

 

What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent? I don't have one now - it was Midway but I've been lucky enough to acquire a bottle, so no killing today!

 

Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? I'm waiting for my decants to arrive to see, I already grabbed a bottle of Lurid library as that one I was sure about.

 

If you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? yes

 

My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?) My style is I guess most reliably illustrated from one of these 2: Joe Browns or East. I tend to like long tunics with leggings underneath, or black jeans with a BPAL t-shirt, not so much into designer stuff except Radley picture bags like this or this or this

I realize that we had a similar question in the ?aire, but I need you Witchee-s to list at least 5 items, each ranging $20 and under from Amazon.com or Walmart.com. Lots of things in this price bracket on my Amazon wishlist

 

In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos? Here, Fallen London, Mousehunt, lots of IM to my dear ones

Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Not for me

Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? No, got loads

Would you like a pair of knitted socks? Absolutely - bright and stripy ankle length or calf length would be great

 

Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related? not really

 

Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? no thanks

do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female? I don't have a problem with nudes if they are well done - don't mind what gender

Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? It all looks lovely but I know I wouldn't use soap - maybe a body scrub

 

are there any other e-tailers you're desperately wanting to try? if so, any specific items/scents/etc?

ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? The tentacle hoody, and I think I had the Firefly Blue Sun posters already on my wishlist

 

What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Only intangible things like more time or more patience - or even, more sex. Not much help to my witch, I know!

 

Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday? Not my sort of thing

 

What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)?

A long soak in Butterfly Nectar or Hockey Urchin bath oil, chicken soup with lots of buttered bread, snuggling up under a quilt with a good book, chatting to my sweetie via IM, he almost always manages to make me smile

 

favorite and least favorite baked goods? Ginger cakes, fruit cakes and lemon cookies are all favourites - least favourites muffins and pies

 

what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)? I'm awkward - BPTP tissue tees are a L but the standard and babydoll ones are probably still an XL. I get very confused with US XL sizes in general as they often swamp me, but I'm always a UK size XL

 

I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? they sound interesting but they also sound heavy!

 

Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? No thanks

 

Owls?Only if they talk like Samuel L Jackson

Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds?

I try to avoid getting interested in other US scent e-tailers, one addiction in that field is bad enough

 

Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you?I will be very interested in black L (or XL) once Puddin puts the tissue tees up - favourite designs of the ones up so far are Trick, 2008 Dragon Moon, Candles Moon, Whirling Wind Moon, Sea of Tranquility Moon, Windy Moon

 

Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything... probably not

 

Gardening? I grow some herbs on my square yard of garden

 

Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)? TP stuff: Pumpkin Tart or Dead Leaves candles, Pumpkin Pie or Spider Silk bath oils

 

What's a new company to you that you most want to try a product from or what would be a new product to you that you most want to try (make-up, perfume, or bath/body)?No one comes to mind

 

 

If you like necklaces, what are some symbols or images that you would love to have a necklace depict? (ex. spiders, skulls, hearts...?) Steampunk type stuff would be good - but easier to say what I'd hate: crosses, skulls, flowers

 

If you had a fairy for NYCC, what exclusive scent would you kill to own? I've got a fairy getting me Badger

 

What do you think of Shiro Cosmetics Halloween Collection? (www.shirocosmetics.com) They're really pretty but I only wear eyeliners

 

The Godiva Halloween Collection: Everything!

 

Would you be interested in comic books and if so what ones do you read or what genre of comics are you interested in? I have the Girl Genius ones on my Amazon wishlist. Love Sandman & Watchmen & Firefly but have all of those.

WITCHEE, DO YOU WANT ANYTHING FROM CALIFORNIA? The entire contents of the Lab & the Trading Post? Other than that I don't really know!

 

IngenuiTEAs? I ahve a few individual teapots so no thanks

Honeycrisp "Apple Crips" (Dried honeycrisp apples, nothing added.) DO YOU WANT SOME WITCHEE????? They sound nice

 

Design a tea? I'd end up making something very like chai!

 

FusionSweets? (etsy) The marshmallows look gorgeous and I'd buy some myself if the shipping was less, the chai caramels look wonderful but I'd be worried they'd wreck my teeth

 

Poe Day? Dark Del merch in general? Alone is the only one that grabs me

 

Kombucha? Sounds scary!

 

 

Are you dressing up for Halloween, Witchee? If so, is there anything you're looking for to complete your costume? No, we don;t really do that over here

Do you need any accessories for your smartphone (case, skin, etc)? No - My iphone3 is on the way out and I haven't decided what's next yet
