Honestly, I can't think of anything? I love getting mail, so just the whole process is love!

(I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that?

Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!?

Nope, my littles are all grown....

 

Do you read literature/culture blogs or websites of any kind? I'm thinking about anything that would help a putative witch to get a sense of what your current tastes in books, movies, games, genres, approaches to culture and literature and so forth are

Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African? I don't really know anything about South Africa, other than the fact they have penquins on the beaches there!!!

 

Do you like Sockdreams? If so, what styles would you prefer? (You can also link your wishlist.) Love them - but would prefer a gift certificate to them other than you picking socks for me....

Pills. I take morning and evening meds. I also read every day

I adore nail polish, just not the glitter polishes (it's a tactile thing!)

I've got a couple - Audrey Hepburn, because she was the epitome of a true lady; not just in looks, but in how she went over and above to help the world become a better place. Also, Elizabeth Morgan MD, for being a wonderful writer about how she struggled to get into med school as a woman in the 70's and 80's
