How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! All the cherry teas would be great along with the cherry balsamic and the Imperial Chocolate Cherries and the Sour Twin Gummies

 

Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals!  All the olive oils and balsamic vinegars would be most welcome (expect for the spicy ones.  

 

We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! Yes, Citrus & Passionfruit Curd, Stone Fruit Preserves, and Stone Fruit Compote all sound amazing.

 

Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup?  Yes, absolutely! 

 

Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list.  Mint fudge might be fun for my husband, but I wouldn't be able to have much.

 

Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/  Not this year

 

https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards.  They have candles and teas and tinctures and books of the activist or witchy sort.  Anything you see that you'd like?  Wild Moon Tea, Shroom tincture, Herbal Bitters, and Conk Out Tea would be great.

 

I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com 

- do you cook?  Oh yes!

- Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?  I could use staples like cumin, garlic, onion, etc. 

- Do you have a favorite alternative source that you prefer and or recommend?  For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices. I usually just get mine from the local organic market or from Mountain Rose Herbs for the more esoteric ones.

-  If you cook is there a type of cuisine you are interested in learning more about and would appreciate a starter pack of spices for that type of cooking? More Thai and East Asian herbs would be great.  I have only a few remining spices from my trip to Thailand.  Oh, galangal, I could use more of.

 

Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today.  

If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop?    Ooh, I love Eyeing You shadow and Summoned Spirits lippie.

https://colourpop.com/

 

Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.)  I'd try any of their soaps.

 

Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?  Room sprays would work in woods and fae forest type blends.

 

Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?  I'm open.

 

I dye yarn.  Are you a person who crafts with such?  What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy?  Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project? I haven't used mine in years, so none for me.

 

Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap?  I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. I'm always down for soap.

 

Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy?  Caramels, absolutely!
