I leave for a ten-day trip to Paris and London in one week's time and I'd love to bring back a goody or two if my Naughty/Nice Puss has any requests!

London: Jam from Tea and Tattle (tea room across from The British Museum), some sort of Mr. Kiplings slices (like angel slices or lemon slices or if there's some other flavor)
Paris: Mariage Frères tea, maybe some pâte de fruits since they would keep well?

Are you interested in an advent calendar?  What kind?  (Dog cookie, tea, chocolate, etc.)

Tea, chocolate, or jam! (Although I just received several jars of jam in swaps, so maybe not the jam.  )

 

Officially asking for your krampus preference, naughty children! 

Vintage Krampus or cat Krampus! Just not partially human-looking Krampus. Please nothing that just says "Vom Krampus" on it, though. If you take out the Gruß, it is no longer grammatically correct because the 'vom' is in the dative case and it needs the verb for that to happen. (I am only mentioning this because I did see things like that while looking for Krampus items last year, and I know German.)

 

I hand-make light-weight hair falls, the kind that is NOT meant to look real, but more like doll (or Dolly) hair. I use stuff like recycled silk, ribbon yarn and the like to keep them extremely light-weight and pretty. Is this something you would like? If so, tell me your color preferences (the more options, the better!) plus any allergies I should know about (wool, alpaca, silk etc), and length.

I would enjoy that! Since it's for Krampusnacht, maybe red, black, and grey? Or red, green, and black? Or variations of red with black?  Normally, purple, black, and grey are my favorite colors. I currently have hair that's long enough to reach a few inches past my bra strap. I plan on letting it grow back to waist-length again, and I might dye it red sometime soon (but have been lazy). I don't think I have any allergies.

 

Would you like a super ugly "Christmas" sweater with krampus all over it??

Maybe not a sweater, but something like a stocking would be nice!

 

Is there anything you particularly have your fingers crossed for on your wishlist? and are you hoping for more perfumes or more non-smelly goodies?

I am down for both smellies and non-smellies, BUT I do have tons of perfume, wax, and bath/body products. I'm not averse to having more, but there's only one perfume I'm actively looking for at the moment (Gothabilly lolololol -- and I'd swap handsomely for it). For non-smellies, I'd particularly appreciate something baking, cooking, or food-related for the December holidays.  

 

dear Victim, are you in need of a squishable krampus?

No, thank you! I just have too many plushies. 😭

 

I need to do a spice order. Anything from Penzy's to show you praise or to punish your wicked tongue?

Maybe the sweet or hot curry? On the pricier side, vanilla extract.

 

Do you like homemade fudge if it is Krampus'ed up? 

I love homemade fudge! But I might be fudged out by the time I get through all of the fudge that twilighteyes sent me!

 

Would you like a piece of Krampus themed art? Either watercolor, resin, polymer clay, or wire wrap? 

Krampus art would be neat! I have no preference on the medium.

 

I'm probably going to place an order for October 33rd once I get paid next week. Are there any BPALs (recently released or otherwise) that you would love to get on St. Nicholas Day?

I asked this question. October 33rd is the only one I'm currently lusting after and I'm going to buy it.  

 

Is there anything you'd be interested in from Loreworks? (Please note, the body wash is marketed as body wash/bubble bath, but it DOES contain SLS for those who avoid it.)

I also asked this question and will be placing an order soon, so it's probably best to skip getting me anything from her, even though I love her stuff.

 

dear victim, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy?

This sounds better than just picking up hot bowls with paper towels. 😅

 

Dearest Victim, might you bed a fan of the glorious old punk band, the Damned? I'm seeing them perform on Friday, so there might be things like tour t-shirts or stickers available- would any of this be of interest to you? (if not, no worries, I can worship them enough for the both of us! )

I like a few of their songs (I first heard them when watching The Young Ones), but I am not familiar enough with their work to consider myself a fan! 😅

 

Dear *ahem* Victim *snicker* ... Would you enjoy a 2023 wall calendar?

Sure... I'd put it in my cube at work! (Please note that I do work for the government, so... nothing super vulgar or anything like that.  )
 

Victim, is there anything you would like from the Zeep holiday collection releasing on November 1st?  (see this post)

I asked this question and will be ordering myself.  

 

Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake?

I would be down to try homemade fruitcake. The storebought one my aunt got last year was awful, though, and it's the only one I've tried.

 

How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits?

I'd be down to try a small bottle! I've never tried moonshine.

 

Brown sugar shortbread? "Plain" buttery or flavored? Favorites include lavender and chocolate orange, but I could definitely do a holiday spice or peppermint batch or two.

Yes! All sound great, but especially the lavender.  I'm always down for lavender  -- whether it's scent or food!

 

That aside, dear victim… I want to make altered altoid tins for Christmas. Here are some examples of past Christmas ones. Would you like one? 

Yes, but I still want a Poe one. 😭 (You can put a Santa hat on him.  ) Atomic Christmas with cat is super cute! But I love them all.

 

Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips?   (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.)

Will shill out $$ or barter perfume for apple crisps! 👀 

 

Would anyone like something nice from Upavim, a women’s craft collective in Guatemala? https://upavimcrafts.org/

A wooden spoon or laden would be appreciated! The mouse skillet holder is too cute. I'd also be down for a whimsical felt bird ornament or a pumpkin one for my Halloween tree next year!

 

Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update?

Joulupukki wax melts, Orange and Yellow wax melts or mini sorbetto, and Schwarzwald sorbetto. Please no Sugar on Snow... I just can't handle maple-scented products right now.

 

Haus of Gloi just dropped their Yule update- like what you see? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/yule?page=1

I'd be down for some Long Winter's Nap whipped soap or bubbling scrub!

 

If I can find the recipe, I want to make my grandmas Orange Slice Cake. Its a super yummy cake but a bit difficult to make as far as cutting up all the oranges. If you would like a mini cake IF I make it, lemme know! 

Cake me up!!!

 

I do molasses gingerbread cookies, as well as hot cocoa cookies, florentines and butterballs. Any of those sound good? OR homemade chocolate fudge? I can do peppermint, coffee or orange additions, with or without nuts.

Send me all of the foodz! Molasses gingerbread cookies sound particularly delicious.

 

Victim, darling, are you a fan of the Dresden Dolls? I'm seeing them this Saturday and there will no doubt be some good merch including t-shirts, posters, stickers and even artisanal chocolate bars! 😮  Any of that sound appealing? (if t-shirt, pls give size!)

Oh my goodness, you lucky bug! I was debating trying to get tickets for their LA show on New Years, until Amanda announced that it was not actually in LA 😭. I would love a t-shirt, sticker, or chocolate bar (why aren't more bands doing artisanal chocolate bars as merch!?!?!). My Taurean self would be especially hyped for the chocolate, but I'd also be down for a large unisex shirt (normally, I get mediums, but they can vary between manufacturers and a large would have enough boob space/last forever). 

 

I uncovered a secret supply of vintage LE BPAL Trading Post soaps in my possession! I realize some folks are over bar soap, but in case you'll make an exception, lmk and maybe Krampus will deem you nice enough to get one  

I love bar soaps, and you have a secret supply!?  In the past, I've had these BPTP soaps: Snow White, Misk U, Snake Oil, Shub, Mouse's Long and Sad Tale, Anne Bonny, Dirty, and a smaller test bar of an unreleased soap. Man, I miss BPTP products.
