Here's my Kaboodle wishlist.

 

(Some of the stuff probably isn't available anymore, like the soaps and such, If the neighbor's internets are on this weekend, I'll try to add more/take off the stuff that's no longer there.)

 

WoooooOOOooooOOoooOOooOOoO!!!!!

 

All your food belongs to me! I don't like pickled things that aren't dill pickles...but all other options that have been mentioned sound amazing!

 

Stuffed things: yea or nay?

Quirky yes. Just regular, not so much.

 

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?

Beer=good. Wine=migrane.

 

Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas?

I like Adagio! I'm not particularily fond of roobios teas or jasmines.

 

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?

Probably!

 

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?

I think I might!

 

Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays!

1. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of this)-Marilyn Manson

2. Indestructible-Rancid

3. Yes, Anastasia-Tori Amos

4. Before He Cheats-Carrie Underwood

5. The F Word-The Verve Pipe

6. Creatures of Love-Talking Heads

7. i love you-Barenaked Ladies

8. Miss Michigan-Mustard Plug

9. Less Is More-Joss Stone

10. Whittlin' Man-Stephen Lynch

 

What kind of cuisines do you like? And, what are your favorite restaurants?

You may have guessed, I like food, and I rarely find stuff I don't like! :D

 

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here?

Mmmm! Canada! I love local treats from anywhere!

 

what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?

Sure! Maybe in a men's XXL? Most XL fit me, but once in a while they're too small in the boobs.

 

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

Nope. I like regular books.

 

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

I like candles! Any sort of fall scents, or vanillay onces. I'm not big on florals or "clean" scents.

 

Marzipan?

Yum! The real stuff is amazing! I got a few pieces in a package from Germany, and I loved it!

 

Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter?

I probably wouldn't use them very much. I like the idea of them, but they'd probably wouldn't get a whole lot of use here.

 

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka?

Sure! Sounds yummy!

 

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?

Mmmm...I got some native spices from girasol once, they're amazing and I would love more. TimTams and Caramello Koalas and other native treats are always awesome too! I'll take them all and squeee lots!

 

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)?

Actually, if a knitter or crocheter, I could use a few more 12x12 inch squares for an afgan that I started with a swap here.

Sewer, I would love to get some home-made potholders. Any holiday decorations would be nice too! Christmas and Halloween are the big decoration times for me. But I put out some Easter stuff too, and would for any holiday you'd like to make. Little table centerpiece sort of things are nice.

 

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?

I usually share snackies with Mr. Boy when I get some of them, so you don't have to include anything special. :) He likes seeing all the prizes I get and how happy it makes me.

 

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)

Yes on the colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets. I have quite a few of the Boston Warehouse animal stuff. I could use a garlic press or mellon baller thingy. No to the bento boxes, I don't usually take lunch to work. (And a previous witch gave me some lovely chopsticks.) Funny clips for bags would be nice too. (I have a hippo clip and aligator clip.) Spice mixes would be nice.

 

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?

Generally, I won't wear them, so probably not. Seasonal socks and kitchen towels are a win! Oh! I've been meaning to buy the Hocus Pocus movie for ages (speaking of seasonal items)!

 

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?

Dark is my favorite, I really like the ones with spices in them. :) Mr. Boy loves white chocolates. We both like little candies off all sorts, cheap chocolate and fancy chocolates are all good. (With the exception of the nasty plasticy chocolates-like Palmers.)

 

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?

Mmmmmm!!!!! Snacks!

 

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?

Gimmee!

 

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!

Most likely some candy, a couple of magazines or a book. Maybe a movie out of the bargin bin.

 

Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things?

Sure. Real s'mores are good. S'mores flavored things can either be good or blechy. :) I'd give them a try though.

 

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

I love everything! YAY!

 

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike?

I really like dragonflys, and really dislike Mountain Dew.

 

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?

Special deliveries are ok! I'm usually home by 4:30 in the evening. If it had to come earlier than that, there might be some problems. (Bear-o-gram would be ok, just no hugging bear, unless I already knew the bear!)

 

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

I always carve pumpkins! And eat candies and give goodies to the trick-or-treaters!

 

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!

 

Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format?

I love mixed tapes! There are different formats? I don't have a CD player anymore, I used my ipod. As long as my computer can figure it out, I'm happy!

 

I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there?

A bubble bar would be nice.

 

Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it?

There are so MANY! Whole cds are in my wishlist. I'd like the theme song from Pretty Little Liars, The Holiday Road (?) song from National Lampoon's Vacation. There's probably more, I'll try to edit them in. (I also want the new Garbage cd, and the new Fiona Apple cd.)

 

Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products?

I like the Twilight body wash. ANd I could use a wallflower refill for Christmas time, something vanilla-ish.

 

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be?

Umm....I couldn't even try! I would probably make something awful!

 

OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)?

Mmmmm! Any beer would be loved here, if its not something I like, Mr. Boy does. We're pretty handy that way!

 

Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth ?

I have a little toy Maleficent I got in the Easter Bunny swap, and its really cute! I'm not big into princesses and the like. (Even when I was little, I wanted Sleeping Beauty to die, she was just so vapid and annoying.)

 

dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer?

Mr. Boy has learned not to stick his fingers into the flames now, so I can have open fires! :lol:

 

are there any of MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in?

Yes, any of them! But I usually read print books, not ebooks-they're harder on my eyes. (I can read them, but given a choice, I opt for the paper.)

 

Do you like coffee? If so, what kinds? Flavored, fancy, basic? Beans or ground?

Gimmee! I can take any now...we need to buy a grinder for some stuff I snagged out of the hot drink circular swap.

 

Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place?

I like Caribou coffee a lot more than Starbucks.

 

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...?

Mmmmm! If it was food safe, that would be awesome! If it was not, still awesome and I would love it, just let me know!

 

Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf?

Lucyboo and Alethia have both been to my apartment. They could maybe make guesses. My answer is almost always yes I want it to everything!

 

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?

I wouldn't use them enough.

 

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above?

Yay!

 

Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above?

Gimme! If it is gum, I prefer sugar-free.

 

Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.)

Both kinds are good!

 

Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please?

I have a Goodreads account, but I don't use it much. I have books I want on my kaboodle list.

 

How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like?

Yay!

 

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?

Ummmm...I'm not really a cloths shopper. Maybe Lane Bryant, just because that's the only place I've found with pants that are tall enough for me...but they don't always have them in stock.

 

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?

That sounds fun! I would like something!

 

What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent?

I don't think I really have any...so far scents that I've hunted down because I thought they'd be amazing, have all been duds. I seem to do better with the weird stuff that no one should like. (When we had a little meet 'n sniff at my place, lucyboo brought along her chocolate, cassia and bacon....it was amazing on me...it should have been gross.)

 

Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting?

I think I've got decants of all the ones that sounded good to me on order.

 

if you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears?

I do! I usually don't wear really heavy ones though.

 

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?)

Nah, I probably wouldn't even recognize the names on them. :)

 

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?

Mostly bpal forums. I don't spend a huge amount of time on the internets.

 

My Little Pony... Cute or meh?

Cute, but I'd be more inclined to display one of those fancy re-made ponies that Roogna (I think) does. Otherwise they go in the toy box.

 

Lip balm - tube or tin?

Tube please, I don't like sticking my fingers into the balm.

 

Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes?

I think I'm good on journally things. maybe some notecards, or post-its would be good. I wouldn't turn up my nose at a bookmark...you can never have too many of them.

 

Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles?

I like audiobooks! Anything by Neil Gaiman would be good, except for American gods, I have that one. I still need Harry Potters: Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Deathy Hallows. Other than that, something with a good reader is always welcome. I listen to books on my car ride to work, and at work. (I tend to stay away from tear-jerkers though. Mysteries are always fun.)

 

Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no?

Yes

 

Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like?

Nope.

 

Would you like a pair of knitted socks?

Sure!

 

Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related?

that sounds cute! Super-mario stuff would be fun!

 

Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples?

I get Birchbox and Concious box. I used to get Eco-Emi but I didn't like it as much. I would love samples! Samples are some of my favorite things!

 

do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female?

No problem. Like others have said, probably more towards tastefully/arty rather than porntastic.
