Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like?

I added some to my Universal Wishlist last week! Fairytale and Putney Road are my favorite fall offerings of hers, in wax melts, glycerin soap, or mini sorbetto. I also am interested in a few others as wax melts that I added to my wishlist.

 

Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like?

Perhaps a cute ghost or bat? 👀 

 

I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any such homemade goodies?

I'd be happy to try any of these!

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?

I would love that! Especially if it featured a cute bat or a cute ghost. Or a black cat!

 

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.

I was already fortunate enough to receive these from you in a Krampusnacht swap.  

 

Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update?

My favorite Haus of Gloi item is actually their unscented pumpkin butter, but I wouldn't say no to Blood Orange Marshmallow pumpkin butter.

 

How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update?

I ordered decants of all of the new scents I was interested in, but I'd love to try Haunted Portrait: Helena Hackley from the Resurgence.

Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate?

Milk or dark, but I generally prefer milk chocolate. No straight-up Hershey's chocolate bars, please.

 

Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck?

My partner is getting into Tarot and I've been dabbling with her Rider-Waite deck. I also have a fantasy deck from a past 13 Nights swap, and I own The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot deck. I wouldn't mind a gently used deck, or a shirt or some sort of art featuring the Queen of Wands design with the black cat for Halloween.  

 

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?) 

My favorite Disney movies are Alice in Wonderland, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and The Sword in the Stone. And, of course, The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would love anything Archimedes the Owl, anything Alice in Wonderland, some cute fall Winnie the Pooh (I have a fall-themed Winnie the Pooh lanyard and some ankle socks), or an Everybody Wants To Be a Cat shirt from The Aristocats. I'm also always down for cute kitchenwares because I cook and bake a lot and I love getting things that are practical and can be used.

 

This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles?

Candles - I enjoy candles. I'm on a self-imposed candle ban, so you do not have to worry about me buying them myself. I prefer soy candles with wood or double wicks, but am down for almost any candle that is indie and isn't from Sihaya (I have too many of her candles, and they tunnel).

 

Wax melts - I melt wax every single day and have five warmers throughout my apartment. I'm currently on a self-imposed wax ban because I have so much of it, but I don't mind if my bat gets some for me. I'd especially love Willow Waxcraft's Harvest Hayride wax melts, or the Fairytale and Putney Road wax melts from Paintbox Soapworks.

 

Incense - I usually don't burn incense, but I bought this coffin-shaped incense burner from Voltaire at a show just to support him in some way (because what I had wanted to buy was already sold out). So now I wouldn't mind dabbling in Japanese incense, but I'm not interested in my abode smelling like nag champa.

 

Scent profile: My scent profile for home scents is pretty much the same as perfumes, but I'm more lenient about notes that wouldn't work on me, except for anise and violet, and I don't want any straight-up fruity wax (some fruit notes are okay).

 

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 just bought a bunch of skincare for redness/very dry skin from Paula's Choice. I wouldn't mind trying travel sized skin-care that is cruelty and fragrance-free if it helps with redness or dryness.

Let's talk earrings.  Pierced?  Stud, dangly, hoop?  Any ear wire preferences?  Large or small?  Other preferences?

My ears are not pierced.

 

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'm leaning more towards a mix, but I would be happy either way!

 

The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like?

I just went there yesterday! My only regret is that I didn't smell the candles (I already have two of the honeycrisp ones from last year).

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?

No, thank you!

 

Would you like anything from sock dreams?

I added the Lotions and Potions purple socks to my wishlist yesterday after looking at the website. I also like their striped armwarmers.
