Yeah, I know I'm leaving some things blank. Have someone poke me if needed.

 

 

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

 

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? A Villainess gift certificate for my birthday last year from a lovely forumite I'd rarely interacted with before. It was a complete surprise. Plus, I received so many amazingly generous gifts to restock my BPAL box after my son destroyed most of my collection a few months ago.

 

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 love kitchen stuff! I don't have any bento supplies but would love to start. Flavorful spice mixes are also welcome, but I'm just not crazy about super spicy things.

 

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? Definitely! XL, 16 or 18

 

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? Milk preferred, dark ok, white meh. Nuts are good. So are fruit fillings, peanut butter, and caramel. Chocolate with cinnamon or sea salt is awesome.

 

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? Not a clue. I'm not familiar enough with their offerings to ask for anything.

 

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

 

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! Colorful ankle socks, cookie jar, & a toilet paper roll holder.

 

What kind of cuisines do you like? And, what are your favorite restaurants? Southern home cooking, Chinese, Japanese. Favorite restaurants are Cliff House Inn in Jasper, AR, and hibachi restaurants.

 

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Not sure.

 

what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Stargate SG1, Eureka, Doctor Who, Firefly. Yes! Men's XL should fit. I haven't had any luck ever with online girly tees.

 

Do you have an eReader and if so which one? Kindle (basic, not Fire or Touch)

 

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? Love them! Favorite scent depends on season. For fall, probably spiced pumpkin, maple, spiced fruits, snow, autumn leaves.

 

Marzipan? Never had it. Willing to try. :)

 

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? Sounds good!

 

 

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? I mainly drink wine and only occasionally. I don't think I'd properly appreciate the vodka.

 

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? Violet Crumble! Haven't tried anything else but would love to!

 

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? My 3 year old son might. He likes monster trucks, Scooby Doo, Hulk, Curious George, etc. Totally not necessary, though!

 

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)? Scarves are awesome. So are these minions even though they're not garments.

 

Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. Yes, especially if you send recipes!

 

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 having a bat adopted in your name? Honestly, bats creep me out, so no. Other adopted animals, trees, etc would be good, though!

 

How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? I'd definitely be happy to try it.

 

Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Mucha, Amy Brown...umm. I'm just not big on art. If it's pretty I'll probably like it.

 

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? Umm. The Harlot's House, maybe?

 

I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. 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? Not big on polish.

 

Stuffed things: yea or nay? Stuffed...how? If you mean taxidermy, no thanks. Otherwise probably good.

 

New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? I love them!

 

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Maybe wine or non-alcoholic beverages.

 

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? I'd like to learn to knit and/or crochet, so yes, please!

 

Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Not interested. I don't really drink tea.

 

Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? I'm not signed up with Ravelry, but if I learned how to knit, I'd love the pattern for those minions I linked to earlier.

 

 

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?

 

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Meh. They're ok. I'd eat them if you sent them.

 

What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Wood cabinets, warm yellow walls, wood paneling on bottom half of walls, wallpaper border (gold & bronze leaf/floral motif on black background) separating yellow from wood. I'd take a picture but it's a disaster. I can never keep up with the dirty dishes.

 

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Like: my ped egg. Dislike: Whatever makes my dog bark her head off all night long.

 

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 (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. No, thanks.

 

If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? Not really interested.

 

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? Yes to all of the above. A nacho witch PM would be the best way to get my phone # if required.

 

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? Ok: Books, BPAL/BPTP t-shirts, hats/scarves. Not ok: undies.

 

And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com). It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you?

 

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not really. I like to put up Halloween decorations, but that's about it.

 

Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates.

 

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? No, thanks.

 

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? Sure. MP3 is probably better. My kids destroy CDs.

 

 

I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow? No gardening for me! I grow weeds and kill everything else with neglect.

 

I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? Never really tried any of their products, so I don't know.

 

Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? Can't think of any.

 

Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionnaire?

 

Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? Sandalwood Rose (usually only available at the semi annual sales), umm...it's been a long time since I let myself in their store. I mainly just bought their hand soaps and wax tarts.

 

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? I'm not familiar with their products, but I wouldn't say no. See my questionnaire for blend ideas.

 

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?

 

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)? Sweet, red or white. Fruit wines are good. Examples of what I like are Cupcake Vineyard's Chardonnay and Red Velvet (not crazy about their Angel Food). I'm willing to try anything once, though.

 

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round? Most likely not. I'll post on the forum if I'll be gone.

 

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 ? Disney makes my head hurt. I like a few shows on Disney channels (Phineas & Ferb!), but that's about it.

 

dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? Not really. If I can't have an open flame, I use my tart burner.

 

Do you lust after some new socks/tights? Always. I usually wear ankle/low rise socks. I love toe socks. I don't usually wear tights or knee socks because I have thick calves, but I'm not against them if they're not constricting.
