Rather than doing separate posts this year, I've decided to combine all of the Yule/Christmas/DecemberHolidayMadness swaps into a single post. 

 

Updated 11/12/24)

 

Would you like something embroidered my elf? Absolutely! I would definitely be interested in embroidered ornaments or wearables. I don't have a whole lot of wall/shelf space for display, though. 

 

Would you, dearest elf, be interested in some handmade hair falls? I am not not interested, if that makes sense. My hair is dyed dark red and super short and I don't necessarily have a lot of places I would wear them. I do, however, have a teen who is into anime, manga, Hatsune Miku, and Genshin Impact, with related cosplay, who would inevitably appropriate anything of the kind that entered the house, especially if it were Miku aqua and more light weight than the long-ass wig we bought for Awesome Con last spring or rainbow or non-binary or aero/ace themed. They would probably prefer two, but one can't be picky when "borrowing" from other people. 

 

Would you be interested in homemade cocktail bitters?  Absolutely - I want to try all of your infusions and syrups and bitters, etc. 

 

Would you be interested in infusing kits for your alcohol of choice? Could be for different liquors or wine, depending on your preferences.   Sure! I love the ones from InBooze on etsy, which inspired this question and I would love to try others as well. I tend to grab gin and bourbon the most these days, but I have a well stocked liquor cabinet and any could work. I also tend to like mulled wine this time of year, so that's also an option. 

 

Is there anything that you would like to stock your liquor cabinet? I could use Compari and other things for interesting negronis. I have the gin and sweet vermouth...although I should check the latter as it's been around for a while. I am always happy to get candied citrus peel, fancy cherries, and other cocktail garnishes as well.   

 

Soooo I love the tea towels from Spoonflower AND they have a ton of Krampus type graphics.   Would you be interested in a tea towel from there?   (Bonus if you go look and give some links to your fav Krampus fabric.) 

I am always up for tea towels! I like a lot of the fabric, but the following especially jump out at me:

Or I can order a fat quarter and make a bowl holder for you (works for hot OR cold, on the table, in your hands, microwavable) if you're interested.   I use them a lot for hot bowls. That would also be very cool. 

 

Would you be interested in an Advent Calendar? Always.

 

Anything from Haus of Gloi's site that you want? https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/yule-2024-info  (yule collection part 1 should be up on Sunday.) Love love love their pumpkin butter and bubbling scrub - Mama's Porridge, Spruce Tip Shortbread, Winter Divinity. Ye Olde Cake of Fruit also sounds right up my alley, should it become available in the aforementioned products. I don't need any of the oils, though. 

 

Anything from Paintbox Soapworks? I love their hot process soap and scrubs - Black Twig, Comfort & Joy, Figlet, Winter Stories (in that order of preference)

 

Do you want any goodies for your pets?   (catnip, dog cookies, etc) The kittens, especially, love toys. If you grow your own catnip, that would be cool, but don't go buying them. 

 

For NAUGHTY things, what do you think about ... ummm... kinky toys or adult toys? No thank you. 

 

If you like coffee, do you prefer whole bean or ground? If ground, what fineness? For unflavored, whole bean. For flavors, ground please. I don't have any grind preference. 

 

If we’re discussing tea, how much of a purist are you? Not at all. I am set up for either loose leaf or bags and both are totally fine. 

 

Would you be interested in a small yule wreath if so what colors and theme would you fancy?

 

Sure! Happy for a Krampusy theme or a more general Yule theme.

 

 Anything from Sock Dreams?

I love seasonal socks. I may have a wishlist going there already. 

 

Anything from Moonalisa

I'd happily try the shower gel or avocado butter. Lots of the wintery scents fit my gourmand desires. 

 

Anything you might like from my favorite little tea shop? https://www.fridaytea.com/

I see a lot that appeals to my fruity/spicy/chocolately side. 

 

It would be great to know what sizes my hibernator wears for socks, clothes, and jewelry.

I am kind of between sizes now, but can do XL in fitted tees, probably an L or XL in more generous cuts. Socks are standard US adult (shoe size is 8 in womens/6 in mens). I'm currently a size 14 in pants. Jewelry, I like most lengths of necklaces, other than chokers. Message me if you need specific measurements for necklaces or bracelets. 

 

And do you have favorite types of jewelry/stones?

I wear earrings - everything from fun studs to very dangly these days. Anything that is intended to be more professional, I prefer hooks or hoops in case I get dragged onto calls without earbuds, but realistically, unless something changes dramatically, I'm self employed these days, so professionalism is relative. Otherwise, I like bracelets - I prefer flexible chain/bead sort of bands to solid bangles and necklaces of various lengths. I have a small collection of fun pins and buttons, but they hang in my room, I don't really wear them. 

 

In terms of stones, I love anything sparkly, especially darker jewel tones - blues, reds, greens, and dark shimmery stones like marcacite or dark opals. 

 

Wishlists you want to share?

My wishlists are in my meta swap post (also linked in my sig): 

 

How do you feel about boozy fruitcake? 

I love it and am happy to try any and all individual varieties. That said, don't go buy me a Collins Street one or anything.
