Hello Snow angel please ask if you need any specific answers, I'll try to answer all the questions here.
I love crocheting, it's my favorite hobby. Can I make you a scarf/cowl/sweater/lap blanket to keep you wintery-warm!?
Scarf or cowl would be great a lap blanket would end up cat blanket,

How do you feel about amigurumi (i.e. little crochet toys), either characters from a fandom, wee animals, or as decorations?
Cute but likely to be destroyed by the semi-feral feline that lives in my house.

How do you feel about knit socks? (Plain stockinette, lacework, cables, etc). Are there any other hand knit items you'd especially like? (Mittens, fingerless gloves, hats, etc).
All of the above I like and would wear.

What kind of snacks do you like? Does dried fruit or crunchy dried vegetables sound appealing? Do you like (raw) honey? Jerky? Jam? What sort of local products do you like to receive as gifts? If you're familiar with products in the Pacific Northwest, is there anything specific you'd like to try?
Crunchy fruit or veg- yummy, honey or jam no thank you, jerky -no, vegetarian. I've never been to the West coast, so very happy to try anything local to you.

If there's one place you could go in the world, where and why?
New Zealand, I love mountains, trees and waterfalls- it looked amazing in the LOTR films. I have flying so am unlikely to ever go there.

What sort of dollar store items do you always get a kick out of?
I don't ever go into pound shops unless I need a stack of birthday cards for giving out at work. I can't think of anything else i would pick up.

Do you like to receive plants or gardening stuff? Do you grow plants? What's your favourite flower, if you have one?
I love plants and flowers for indoor and out. I'm constructing an outdoor fern garden this year, having discover the snails don't decimate them, unlike a lot of the flowers I'd like to grow. I like old fashioned flowers, wild flowers, not keen on modern roses, dahlias etc. At this time of year I really enjoy the late daisies;heleniums, rudbeckias, asters and cone flowers, plus Japanese anemones.

If you had a custom perfume/beauty/bath product made for you, what would it be and what would the scent description look like? (everything from prose to the specific selection of notes) Perfume, soap or body cream, I think it would need some amber or maybe some patchouli as they are my top two notes, they probably don't go so well together. My favourite ever scent is Tramp from Lush so something along those lines would be good or maybe a snowy scent for winter,

I love drawing! Either fanart chibis on my tablet (ok it's my daughter's but still) or portrait work in graphite pencil... but it's been a while..so I'd love to use this as an excuse to draw something for you! If you could commission an art piece, would you choose traditional or digital artwork- and what would it be of? I don't know, I'm really bad at this type of question- i just like things when I see them. The stuff I have collected on Pinterest is mainly Botanical art: https://uk.pinterest...l-illustration/

When it comes to makeup, what is your coloring? Fair, dark? Sensitive skin? Eye color? Hair color? Style....funky, natural? Any additional makeup info?
Fair usually 01 on a scale that starts 00, sensitive, blue eyes, blonde hair- natural plus a few unnatural ginger stripes!
Is there any craft or hobby that you are interested in trying?
Nothing new- no more time.
Christmas Decor:
Home made things, weird things like bats and spiders on the tree, natural things-bringing in the green.- Must be able to withstand cat attack.

What kind of collector are you? And do you have a log or a list somewhere away from the forum of the things you love, hate or already own?
I started a Scentbase list years ago and a spreadsheet- have been out the loop for a couple of years now- stopped collecting more- I have many boxes to sort out sometime.
Any Lush showergel (or other product) you'd like to try? I sort of collect their showergels, mostly from The Kitchen. So if there's anything you'd like to try, now's the time to tell!
I pop into Lush every couple of weeks - I like the bubble bars, Karma and blue skies. I picked up some new Tramp shower gel from the kitchen recently.
Do you like licorice or would you like to try it? Would you prefer salt or sweet?
I used to be a regular visitor to the Netherlands so I have tried lots of licorice- I like the salty stuff but don't love it, there are lots of other dutch goodies i like more.
I live in The Netherlands but I will visit England soon and might pay a visit to Germany. Anything special from here that you'd like to try?
I love treats from Netherlands/ German like marzipan or chocolates, speculaas/biscuits
is you BPAL wishlist updated? If not: please do!
I have updated, however as I have been out the loop for a while it's mainly older things on there.
Do you like office supplies like pens, pencils, highlighters, sticky notes, etc?
I do, I have loads of pens, markers and highlighters, I can always use sticky notes and I always like to receive pencils, especially the souvenir ones from different places around the world.
How do you feel about spicy, cheesy, or sour snacks?
Spicy good , cheesy good. sour not so good
Would you like any cook-able mixes like for soup or baked goods, cooking ingredients like spices, sugars, salts, oils, or cooking gadgets?
Spices would be lovely, herbs and oils are good too. I wouldn't use salt or sugar mixes.I can't think of any gadgets I need.
Would you prefer bar soaps or bath gel?
Bar soaps.
Candles, wax melts, or incense - yea or nay?
Yea! I do have quite a collection already- I do use them up - just not as quickly as I acquire them
Jewelry - any preference about length of necklaces, earrings, etc?
I've had lots of allergy issues this year so must be metal free. I've actually stopped wearing jewellery for the last few months due to problems.
Dried honeycrisp apples,Applesauce (with red hots for sweetness and cinnamon),Rose petal liqueur,Blackberry, Strawberry Rhubarb, or Peach Jam, Home baking
I would be up for trying any of these.- as long as it's veggie.
Handsewn project bags or makeup bags?
I could use one of these to take my contact lens stuff to work.
Yarn, roving, batts, fiber?
Would be wasted on me - sorry
If you said you liked candles/incense/etc., what are your favorite scents for such things?
Nothing too foody or floral I like green, spicy and incense-y candles
Do you have any interest in Shakespearean swag (insult mugs, play themed lip balms, oodles of other possibilities) or general performing arts related goodies?
I don't have a special interest, but I wouldn't be opposed to anything of this nature.
What is your favorite Christmas story - be it book, movie, cartoon - and if there are various versions, which is your favorite?
Gremlins?? i'll add something more suitable if I can think about it for a while.
Do you have a preference for numbered packages or random selection?
Whatever my Snow Angel prefers!
Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? If not, would you want some of their famous delicious treats? (Cookie butter - original or pumpkin spice!, sweet plantain chips, chocolate covered potato chips, etc)
As before, happy to try anything new.
What's your shoesize? Would you like to receive socks?
UK size 7,EU 41, I think this about 9 US, yes socks are always useful, ankle length preferred
.I'm going to San Diego next week. Are there any souvenirs from there you'd like? How about any little souvenirs in general that you appreciate receiving?
I like little souvenirs, magnets, pencils, tea towels from wherever you are.
Are you currently ISO any BPAL new or otherwise? What are your top 10 scents?
I would like to try some of the newer BPALs - i haven't researched what looks good yet- I'll try and catch up. My top 10 changeable, my lasting favourites are Banshee Beat, Pallas Athene, L'estate, Dolly Kei, French Tobacco SN, One of my Vanilla chaos, the rest change.
Black Friday will be a thing during this swap, anything you might want that will be on awesome sale?
Not a thing in the UK - our sales are in January.
Do you like to cook and would you be interested in cookbooks? If so, what kind?
Low carb/vegetarian
Do you like games (board/card), and if so what kind and for how many players?
Wouldn't use these.
If you have a Goodreads "to read" list, are those mostly books that you do not have and would like copies of, or are those mostly books that you already have piled on your shelves/lurking in your e-reader?
I did start a Goodreads list- it is way out of date- I have huge plies of books to read and a Kindle full - so anything listed to read is probably in my possession
Do you have a wood-burning fireplace or fire pit, and if so would you like handmade firestarters or scenting bundles to throw on it? (think bundles of apple wood chips and cinnamon bark, or little wax/herb/paper bundles with a wick)
Sadly I have neither of these.
You mentioned scarves in your questionnaire. Are you referring to a chunky thick keep-me-warm-in-a-snowstorm scarf, or a light and lacy could-be-warm-if-I-wound-it-a-hundred-times scarf?
Either of these sound fabulous
Would you like to receive a photography print? My pictures are mainly of animals or landscapes. What would you prefer? Any favourite animals you'd like to receive a picture of? Would you also like to receive postcards? You can view some of my pictures on http://www.by-ellen.com
These are lovely photos Nemi- I sailed the Wadensee many years ago and have many happy memories of the islands and harbours full of sails.I love your kingfishers too.
What are your most wanted BPAL's?
All in my wishlist, I think they are probably all too rare and HTF now.I just have the list for swapping purposes.
1) Thinking about your package arriving and unwrapping, would you prefer more foody items or more non-foody things?
A mixture probably- really I'm so happy with any swap parcel. I will love whatever you send dear snow angel.
2) Name a handful of things you would LOVE to see in your 12 Days gifts!
See above-whatever you send. If it helps ( no expectations though) something woolly, something edible, something bath/body or smelly- actually all gifts make me glad.
