Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like? Weirdly, not much. I would be interested in trying Pokeberry in soap or sorbetto and maybe Fairytale or the Grey Hound in sorbetto. 

 

Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like? Absolutely - I would particularly love arm warmers, shawls/scarves, fun hats, or a cozy lap blanket.

 

I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any such homemade goodies? Sure! All of those sound great, especially soaps, steamers and salves.

 

Would you like a small watercolor painting?  I'm talking 3×5".  If so, would you like it based on your preferred Halloween motifs or something else? Something in my fave motifs would be lovely. 

 

I make light-weight hair falls ( I can do single or double, if you have a preference for pony tail or pig tails)- I make them out of things like soft yarns, up-cycled silk and bits of lace. Is this something you'd like? If so, tell me up to three colors and a length in inches you'd like.  This isn't something I would likely use, but the cosplay loving teen would definitely be interested in shorter pony styles in aqua and/or rainbow.

 

Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update? I would definitely be interested in bubbling scrub and/or pumpkin butter in Apple Milk, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Golden Corn Cakes, Kitchen Witch,  or Pumpkin Eater.

 

How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update? No thank you. 

 

This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles?  Please do not send me incense or wax tarts. I do like a good autumnal candle - I am particularly interested in spicy cider scents. 

 

Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate? Yes please! Milk and white are my faves, but a nice dark with interesting bits in is definitely my speed. 

 

Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck? No thank you. 

I'm going to Disney World all next week!!! Can I get you something? (Maybe you have a favorite Disney / Star Wars / etc character or fandom? Maybe you're a Pin Trader? Maybe you like cute kitchen-wares / tea pots / nice English tea / pot holders tea towels?)      I definitely like cute kitchen-wares and would love anything along those lines that is Haunted Mansion, Muppet, or NMBC themed. I also am a sucker for Star Wars critters - porgs and ewoks especially and Yoda or Leia for characters. 

 

are you interested in skincare, such as trying travel sizes of various types? (would be cruelty-free, cleaner options coming from over here, if that matters to you!)  I have a skincare routine that I'm pretty happy with, but I would definitely be interested in cleansers (especially exfoliating for a few mornings a week), moisturizer with SPF, eye creams and masks. My skin is definitely aging, but still more oily than dry and very ruddy, to the extent that applies.  And I am ALWAYS on the look for lip products with SPF and good cuticle creams. 

 

Let's talk earrings.  Pierced?  Stud, dangly, hoop?  Any ear wire preferences?  Large or small?  Other preferences? I think I nattered on quite a bit about earrings in my original questions, but just in case, definitely pierced - I tend to wear large dangly ear wires or hoops professionally and smaller silly studs on the weekends. Generally speaking, I like anything flamboyant and weird. 

 

If there is something extravagant on your wish list, would you like one large gift and the rest of your gifts quite modest, or would you rather forego the lavish item in favor of more of a mix among your other gifts? I don't have a huge preference, to be honest. If you find something that just absolutely seems like I have to have it, but it means being more modest, that's fine. I don't actually expect anything off my Amazon wishlist or anything. 

 

The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like? Other than all of it? In terms of easily shipable things, I'd say the Maple Spiced Nut Mix, maybe Pumpkin Blonde Brownies, maple or pumpkin butter, pumpkin jo-jos, pumpkin spice mini sheetcake, pumpkin hand cream...

 

I have in my possession a selection of real Bakelite bangle bracelets! Definitely from the 1940s-1960s era. Would this be an exciting gist for you to receive? Hells yes.

 

Would you like anything from sock dreams? I haven't poked around there much lately, but I am always up for fun socks. 

 

Would you be interested in a spooky mini waffle maker or spooky playing cards? No thanks on both. 

 

Does anything from SnagTights strike your fancy?   I don't really wear skirts or dresses much any more, but I could make exceptions for something fun. I've not really explored their wares before. 

 

What about from Michaels or JoAnnes? I always love fun decorations, but there's nothing I'm in specific need of. 

 

do you like Ren fairest?  Might there be a fun little thing I should find for you there? I have not been to a ren faire in decades, but I always love jewelry and little spooky doodads. 

 

Weather permitting I'll be going to a witchy Florida themed night market next week! Is there anything you may want from it? Sorry, I think I was late on this one, but my answer is similar to the Ren Fair answer - there's nothing specifically witchy that I need, but if something catches your eye...

 

Do you desire any Samhain ritual-type items, if so, what? No thank you. I don't have a ritual practice.

 

Tell me, my ghoul-friend, would you love to see things from these places (and what?) as you unwrap your gifts? I will be going to the Pacific coast soon, and there are witchy stores (one with serious occult supplies, many handmade including inks, quills, books, etc), a HUGE gem & mineral store, a huge yarn shop, shells and way too much sasquatch stuff, also an amazingly diverse mercantile in Yachats, OR, and the Green Salmon, where unique PNW teas, coffees are sold

I don't need any occult supplies. I do enjoy cool gems and minerals in my fave colors, geodes and the like, but just aesthetically, not for practice. Tea and coffee are always good (see my original questionnaire for bunches about these.  No thank you to yarn, shells or sasquatch stuff. 

 

Would you like spooky-themed stationary supplies?  What kinds if so? I could use a new multi-subject notebook that is in the ballpark of 5x7. I was gifted an Erin Condren one last year and it has become my lifeline for tracking different parts of my life. I am definitely not wedded to her specifically and would love something that has more of a subtle gothy vibe. I am always up for sticky notes, cool pens, clips, etc. 

What about unanointed spell candles? No thanks.

 

Could you use any clever storage boxes like these? Not really my thing, sorry. 

 

Interest in Cellar Door Halloween/Fall? They always have a bunch of stuff that looks good and I am happy to try soap ends. I haven't had time to go through the whole selection this year, but in past years, I've flagged the following as no thanks: Haunted Woods, Michigan Moonglow, October Road and Zombie Repellant - basically anything else that is more woodsy/incensey than foody. I tend very foody in my soap.
