First, my dear witch, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this and getting to know me! I hope you have as much fun with this year's switch witch as I will!

 

Where are a couple things I'd like to bring attention to, as to make it easier for you to find things! first off, I am male, so things like makeup aren't really something I'd enjoy, or would be less likely to fit into women's sized clothing! However,I am not one to scorn beauty, or am afraid to project something unmanly, so lighter colors, unisex things, little glitter here and there or cute things aren't going to bother me!

 

Wishlists:

My Etsy Favourites

Amazon Wishlist

 

 

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 to all of this! Ghibli themed stuff is great, or with simple designs!

 

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?

Eh, I like flannel more. XL to 2XL

 

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

All chocolate, just no pistachios please!

 

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

Oh jeez, that's pandora's box there. I've been dying for goji berry, red currant or lychee flavored things!

 

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

Definitely! Have at it, just keep the sodium level pretty low if you can!

 

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!

fabric, a SD card and wintogreen mints!

 

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 restaurants?

India, Italian, Japanese,Chinese, love it all!

 

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

what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who. .

Labyrinth, anything Jim Henson, Superhero (Marvel or DC)

 

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?

Anything woodsy or apple based, the partner likes french vanilla!

 

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?

Open to anything!

 

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)?

Scarf, cowl or gloves would be awesome!

 

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?

Definitely my daughter, she's my 4 year old little fairy obsessed diva!

 

Marzipan?

open to 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?

No thanks!

 

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 would love it myself but I live in PA! D:

 

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.

oh definitely

 

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!

 

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?

Harlot's House, Need more Ultraviolet too, and Havana looked nice too

 

Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern?

art noveau, pop art, romantic era. I'm pretty easy to please, and I love the art styles of Mucha and J.C. Leyendecker... Go nuts!

 

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?

Anything fairytale related,mythology, folklore, those are my biggest passions

 

Nail Polishes?

Not for me thanks, but my daughter loves her nails getting done, but it has to be some of that fast setting stuff. She's a little whirlwind!

 

Stuff From Retro Dry Goods:

Oh jeeze, wave all my childhood candies at me why don't you! Anything peppermint, the atomic fireballs, candy dots the wax bottles... XD As long as it's not straight up licorice I'll love it.

 

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?

Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power that has quite a wide selection.

If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments?

Uh, well definitely could use things for good health and fortune...

 

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?

While awesome, I'm afraid I'm not home enough for this!

I love fruit, spice, sweet or dry myself, not much of a beer fan. Makes my belly hurt.
