Switch Witch 2014 Help (the sequel)

Not sure if there are going to be that many more questions, but I was tired of scrolling down to the bottom of that other entry in order to add new answers, so here we are, Witch! :D

 

Spiders (as in cute knit kind) yes or no?

sure

 

Pillows (the mostly decorative type)?

sure

 

Any kind of bags - big, small, medium, purse, grocery, etc?

grocery or tote would be better for me I think

 

If you happen to be my witchee, would you be interested in any of the items in my etsy shop? You can favorite them on etsy or mention the specifics in your blog https://www.etsy.com...f=hdr_shop_menu

I do kinda like this, but as mentioned earlier about scarves, I'm not sure I would get much use out of it here in South Central Texas, considering that I already have way more scarves than I need.

 

If your witch was going to Salem Massachusetts, would you want anything from there? I was thinking mugs, keychains, postcards, etc. But what about witchy supplies like incense, candles, books, etc?

Hmm, I dunno much about Salem. I mean, I took History of Witchcraft in undergrad and I think I made an A, but tourism-wise I have no idea. Mugs or postcards sound okay. And I've already mentioned that I like candles and (stick) incense, and my preferences for those things, so if you find something there you think I'd like, go for it! Witchy books, probably not. I don't really read the "esoteric" books I do own.

 

 

Which one scent would you want from each of the following updates: Metamorphosis, Lilith and GC??? (I'm going to ask this about weenies once they launch too!)

  • No idea, haven't gotten my decants yet
  • As mentioned yesterday, decant of Venustas would be nice
  • Listed 3 or so earlier in the round when there was a similar question... to add another, Blockbuster would be nice

 

On a whim I have decided to go to the Tokyo Game Show this weekend. There will presumably be lots of silly free swag like postcards and stupid fans. Would something like that possibly interest you, witchee mine?

Sure, that sounds cool.

 

 

If you have a significant other (or even a close friend that will laugh at the implications), would you enjoy any of these couple rings?

How about anything from the same store's Halloween collection?

No to these two specific questions (my husband and I do have wedding rings, but even those don't actually match since he insisted on yellow gold and I on white gold... and otherwise he's not a jewelry person). But, looking at it, I do think that store has some cool stuff in general. I have been upping my cardigan game recently and no longer have any sweater clips, so some of those interest me, like this one and this one. Hope that helps!

 

So - IF you imbibe at all ... preference between: wine/beer/cocktails and then glassware and/or bar-ware? cocktail gadgetry? Books on the subject/recipes? would you want sample bottles of local/regional/small batch craft spirits if they were home decanted and labeled? (I can't think of any craft distillery that makes minis.. at least not around here).

Ooh, multi-part question! For actual alcohol preferences, I feel like I was really thorough in my original questionnaire. The only glassware/barware/"cocktail gadgetry" I can think of that I need is a martini shaker... I can't believe I don't own one anymore! And I guess just a regular old bartending dictionary would be nice because that's another thing I used to have but don't anymore. Home decanted and labeled small batch craft spirits (wow, that's a mouthful!) sound intriguing... but again, you'd have to be into "living on the edge" since it's not technically legal to ship them to my state.

 

My question, I make sugar cubes, would my witch like some chai, lemon, rose water or other flavored sugar cubes or am I the only one who wants to put on my gloves and BPAL and go to a tea party?

Chai, or rosewater (or lavender as someone else mentioned) would be great, but not lemon.

 

So I went to a Jamberry nail party tonight, and now I am wondering if this would be something other would like?

Same as my answer to the last nail wrap question... not my thing.

 

If you had to choose one currently available book (used-but-obtainable counts if you do used) costing $20 or under for your Witch to buy for you, what would it be?

Well, other than the two specific ones I mentioned in my questionnaire, maybe Indigo Springs by Dellamonica?

 

Are there five things under $25 at Birchbox (here's the men's page for that. Not sure why some of these things aren't in both sections!) you would like?

Yeah, that's a bunch of products. Guess I'll just look until I find 5 I like.

Simple Syrup (not the raspberry one but all of the others sound cool)

Neoprene Bag

Dry Shampoo

Eyeshadow Quad (not in Black Magic or Taupetation though)

Nail Lacquer Remover

(and that was in the first 10 pages... may check out some more pages at some point and update this....)

 

Do you want anything from the Fatherhood update at the Post?

Naw, not really a straight-up foodie or floral person. I'd be curious to smell A Stroll Through the Quarter, but I doubt it'd actually work on me.

 

Street art! Into it? Not into it? Meh?

Yeah, it's cool.

 

If you could only pick one note that you love (e.g. Vanilla, Orange, Lavender, Rose) & you could only wear/have perfume, etc in that note, what would it be?

Gosh, I dunno, not much of a single note person here. Maybe some kind of incense/resin, or maybe some kind of non-white musk.

 

Weenies I'm interested in trying (but did not already request decants of):

  • White Witch
  • Witch Bride
  • Pumpkin II

Caffeine or no? And is this a health or preference?

Caffeine is fine, but I do like herbal teas and such too. I was unable to have caffeine for medical reasons for several years (due to a heart condition that has since been surgically corrected), so I'm not quite as addicted as some folks, but I do usually have one soda, cup of coffee, or tea (either hot or iced) per day.

 

As for Rocky Horror/Disney makeup collections, I guess refer to my previous answers which describe makeup preferences.

 

Would you be interested in a custom painted miniature?

No thanks, I never did "get" those things.

 

I know a lot of people here are very passionate about different causes. Are there any local or national charities that are close to your heart that you know would appreciate a donation in your name?

I donate to various things when I can and like choosing them for myself, but if my Witch really wants to do something in my name, well, there's always The Lilith Fund.

 

I have two partial (Backup) bottles of some scents on your wishlist, Witchee. However, the labels aren't perfect, due to a tragic imp explosion. Would you still be ok with getting them?

Absolutely.

 

Do you like incense? Or are you more of a fan of essential oil aromatherapy/fragrance oils a la Yankee Candle/B&BW? Or all of the above? What scents do you prefer for those kinds of things? Nag champa? Lemongrass EO for the house? PUMPKIN SPICE EERYTHANG. What companies do you like specifically (if any) - links?

I know we've already had/I've already answered an incense question in this thread, and I've already linked to my favorite incense company... I just checked and that stuff is in my first blog entry from this SW round. The only thing I left out in that question that might be important is that I probably wouldn't like overly fake-fruity smells for incense. As for the rest of this question, I don't use essential oils other than BPAL. Basically for home-scenting I use candles, stick incense, and BPTP atmo sprays (not all at once, though!).

 

Also - Trading Post Weenies are up!! What's everyone interested in?

I signed up for a decant of Boo Hair Gloss already... hopefully I'll get it! As for things I can hold off on if needed, I also really want the Dead Leaves & Dark Incense Candle, and, even though I have way too many atmo sprays for how long they last, would be interested in a decant of Chrysanthemum Tea atmo spray.

My mom has crocheted a bunch of little witch hats, would this be something you are interested in?

 

 

Are you interested in anything from my mom's Etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/twinklespins If you like the project bags but are interested in a different theme than what is posted (Doctor Who or Game of Thrones or [insert favorite thing here] instead of skeletons or whatnot), let me know. I have the power of Spoonflower. My parents also have a huge embroidery machine and can embroider a quote or forum name or real name or whatever on said bag.

 

Are you interested in dried honey crisp apples or italian prunes?

 

Do you need any travel mugs, coffee mugs, tea makers, rock sugar, coffee or tea syrups, etc? Basically anything that Teavana or Starbucks sells?

  • No thanks.
  • Also no thanks
  • Sure!
  • Sure, Sure (no square rims though), sure, no, maybe (I've never really used coffee or tea syrups, think I already found a couple I was interested in when I answered an earlier question though), maybe.

  • all of the Christmas bubble bars!
  • Lord of Misrule bath bomb
  • Fairy Ring soap
