S’mores? Eh. I'm not a big marshmallow fan, so I tend to eat the chocolate and graham crackers What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom. I think it was part of a SW round, but don't remember for sure. I was having a really rough week, which had led into a really rough month. I came home to a small box, which held a bottle of Snake Charmer Rez....and I burst into tears. Just knowing someone out there had me in their thoughts made a world of difference. Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) I love kitchen stuff. Spice mixes unless they are pepper heavy or spicy for the win! Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? I wear pj bottoms all the time, and love them. I wear size M at both stores, and really love Targets Sock Monkey line. I don't currently own any Halloween PJ's so they would be great!! What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? Milk, 'dark milk', and some dark. I love walnuts, almonds and hazlenuts. I don't like raisins. Don't like white. I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? Whole Foods - ??; Trader Joe's - milk choc covered potato chips, salt/sugar dusted dark chocolate almonds, TJ's milk chocolate truffle bar, dark chocolate covered nutty bites, jo jo's, the new cranberry juice they are advertising.... Penzeys - cocoa powder, Forward (spice mix), dehydrated onions, taco seasoning, mural of flavor... More from later in the thread... Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I love home made items, and food, especially baked goods, are awesome I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! Maybellines new Plush mascara in black, about 4 Dark Chocolate Snickers, a pink highlighter, and a pack of Goody Ouchless hair elastics, the bigger the better. What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants? I have yet to find a cuisine that I DON'T like. We eat Japanese at least once a month, I do a lot of Italian cooking here at home as well. I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Yes - if you are independently wealthy, I'd love a bottle of red wine-based Ice Wine. Heck, I'd be thrilled with nips of ANY kind of Ice wine! I don't like the Ice Wine teas, though. A cool Canada Moose Tshirt, OH!! Some Timmy Ho's!! What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Star Wars and Firefly - and yes!! Do you have an eReader and if so which one? I have a Nook, and I also have the Kindle app on my Ipod Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I like pine, spruce, wintery scents, and mulled apple cider scents in the winter. I also adore Cinnamon Vanilla scents. I love candles, and have 4 tart burners, so anything goes Marzipan? Yick Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? Awesome, yes Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Very occasionally, and yummy yes If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello(koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Tim Tams, Koalas, Bush Tomato spice, any of the above would be yummers If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? I knit, but I adore handknits and would welcome any of the above!! Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? Ducati loves fleece pull toys and biscuits (we call them cookies) The rest of the household is oblivious.... Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. Yes, please!! The rice, not the syrup I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? Yes please Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? No, but a moose would be cool! How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? fun! Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Um....I like specific paintings mostly, but I love Picasso's Blue period, Monet's wisteria paintings, any of the older 'renassaince' ish paintings.... If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? see above, or check out my Pinterest (I'm Deanna Zinn with the rainbow zebra) Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs? Aged Snake Oil I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? Rescue Beauty Lounge - I would love, love, love a bottle of Anne before it's gone..... Stuffed things: yea or nay? Yep, especially a moose or frog! New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? Eh. I make them myself.... Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Yes! Especially sweet ones. I don't like beer, or dry..... Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? Nope! Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? I've got quite a bit of tea...... Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? Yep, deazinn, and yep!!

I like cool rainy days and I dislike licorace Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. Not that I can think of.... If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? Smudge sticks Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive. a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? Yes, yes, yes!!!! What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? I have no issues with anything homemade And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com). It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? Surprise me! Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

Hey, I get to do a review!! Wet - it smells like lemon scented gas station deodorant. Y'know, that really STRONG scented kind. On me for the initial blast - it warps into Lemon Lysol. After 30 minutes - a lovely sweetish lemon scent - very clean and cheery, but not soapy. All in all, a very interesting scent!

I've had a recent problem with this issue, with Snow White 2005. Got an imp, and just fell in love.....a very bright, crisp, light scent - and the oil was clear in the imp. Wrangled my way into buying a 1/2 bottle (whee! lucky me) and when I got it.....it's a heavier scent, and is almost perfumey. When I sucked a little bit up into a pipette to transfer to an imp for traveling, the oil is a light yellow. Anyone else had this issue???? Also, is there any scent difference between the orig LE Misk U and the current GC Misk U? thanks all!!

I have a similar-ish question. I have seen 'forum-only' fragrances listed on ebay-o-yah and other places....are these different than the usual limited runs? How do we find out when one of these come up? I'm still pretty much a newbie, so be kind!
