Would you like any of the following?   (Maybe just remove the things you aren't interested in?):

• Catnip (organic, from our property.  Dried in our dehydrator.)
• Canned food items
  • Thick Huckleberry Syrup (or thin huckleberry jam -- it was kind of a fail for how thick/thin it is, but still tasty.  Has sugar.)
  • Bluebarb jam (blueberry/rhubarb)  (has sugar.)
  • Blackberry, Raspberry, or Strawberry Jam  (they have sugar)
  • Possibly peach or plum jam or butter (we can probably make it without ingredients you can't have -  if allergies)
• Apple Crips (dried apples with nothing added, not sure what kind of apples we'll do this year.  Usually honeycrisp.)
• Mugwort smudge wand (some with lavender)  (all organic, from our property.)
• Dried lavender I can do sachets or just some in a mesh baggie.  Sadly our lavender is too dry right now to do wands.
• Rose petal beads (if I manage to make enough, I'm gathering rose petals right now.)  I'll probably put them on a string unless I have time/energy for more.
• Thunder Butter?  (like icy hot but made with herbs, beeswax, menthol, wintergreen, cayenne.  Spot test so it doesn't burn your skin.)
• Rose Petal liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Lavender Vanilla Bean liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Mead sample (flavor depends on what kind of mead my son has made lately.  Can make it dry, semi-sweet, or sweet to your preference.)

 

 

Would you like me to knit you a hat, shawlette, cowl, or fingerless mitts?  I can do colorwork hats or cowls with skulls, bats, pumpkins, ghosts...  

• Yarn preference?  (merino wool, merino cashmere, merino silk, merino silk cashmere, acrylic, sparkles or no sparkles, etc.

 

How about a soap bag (knitted), washcloths, or tarot card bag?  (washcloths will be cotton.  soap bags will probably be either cotton or non-superwash wool so they shrink around the soap.  Tarot will be silk - I have limited colors in silk.)

• I can do the BPAL Brimstone logo, bats, skulls, cats, jack o lanterns, whatever on washcloths.  

 

Or maybe a gknitted Gnome?  Or bat?  Ghost?  Black Cat?  Voodoo doll?  Monster?  Or something else spooky?  I have lots of patterns.  Here is an example I did for the Gnome swap.

 

 

If you want any knitted things -- color preferences?    I can do stripy mitts, cowls, or hats.  Solid or gradient color shawlettes, cowls, mitts, hats.   Colorwork hats or cowls (base color plus whatever color for your skull, ghost, bat, jack o lantern, spider, witch hat, moon, cat, or whatnot.)  Solid one color for soap bag, washcloths, or tarot bag.  (I think I only have purple silk for the tarot bag.)  Pick three or four colors for Gnomes (one of those colors will be their beard, I usually use white.)

 

 

My mom has an etsy shop with project bags for knitting/crochet or what ever you want to use them for.  We could also make tote type bags, flat zipper cosmetic type bags, or boxy bags/dice bags.  Are you interested in this type of item?  I have all kinds of spooky fabric that isn't currently up on the shop if you look through the sold items.  https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com

Hey Swapee, you said you like gummy candy.  Have you ever had  the real deal Middle Eastern candy that " invented" gummy candy?  Made with real fruits & nuts & sooooo good.  I have a fabulous Middle Eastern grocery near where I work that has more than 20 flavors.
