Updated 11-24-21 am Is there anything you forgot to put on your Qs you wish you had? I cannot think of anything, but will be sure to note in the thread if I do! ACTUALLY, did I note that I love marzipan? Well, I do love marzipan. If you were down with knitted or crocheted items: do you prefer a wearable or amigarumi? If wearable, is there something you’d really like? If amigarumi anything you love? I am good with both - I would probably most love either handwarmers or a shawl in terms of wearables or washable socks. I love amigarumi - especially little critters in creepy animals (Skyelyric sent me an adorable little raven for the Halloween swap). Kitties, bats, spiders, snakes, gargoyles, owls, dragons would all be awesome. Or wee fictional Star Wars or Marvel characters would be cool. Teeturtle is having one of their megasales - any tshirts, or whatever, that strike your fancy? Size/fit? Stealing my answer from the Halloween swap - It might be easier to list what I don't want from tee turtle, but I'll try to narrow it down - for tees, I'm a Womens XL and I really like Spellbound, My Cat is a Flerken, The Headless Unicornsman Socks, Don't Make Me Hex You, Spooky Kitty In terms of others, I love Statler and Waldorf & Look Santa off the top of my head. (I have the holiday porgs setting fire to things and the candy cane dragon already along with a bunch of others). I kind of have a tee turtle problem. What is the best book you've read recently? I'm honestly having a hard time answering my own question because I have been reading a lot of really escapist mysteries and fantasy lately, none of which has been particularly good, but has been cheaply entertaining. I have so much bookish info available, though that maybe this isn't really vital or me to answer? What are some examples of decorations you would enjoy? I'm always down for ornaments and fairy lights, dish towels, little animal figures in santa hats. Is there any kind of accessory or product you'd want for your hair? Not really. My hair is super short and I don't really use accessories or products other than volumizing gel that I like. What is your jewelry style? Generally go big or go home. Honestly, that's kind of my style generally. If I'm going to put any effort in, I don't really see the point in subtlety. Are you interested in fandom themed items based on the movies/shows you're into? For sure - useful items, like mugs or waterbottles or clothing are particularly great. Or lego type kits. Are you interested in spicy sauces/jams etc? Absolutely! Are you interested in Thai snacks? e.g. Thai brand crisps, wafer roll type things, savoury small crackers Sure! I make light-weight yarn-and-silk-ribbon hair falls. Would you be interested in getting some? Possibly? If they can work with super short bright burgundy hair. What are your favorite animals or mythical creatures? Kitties, bats, spiders, snakes, gargoyles, owls, dragons I actively support Defenders of Wildlife and am curious if any of these would be of interest? https://gifts.defenders.org/wildlife-adoptions?price=20-30 Sure! I love penguins, owls, otters and sea turtles especially. Honestly, I'd be more down with a donation and a crafty critter or drawing. Unless there's some mechanism to track "my" adoptee, I don't need a certificate and photo and would just as soon everything go to the animals. I'm candying citrus peel this year. Oranges, mostly. Is that something you would like? Chocolate dipped? What about homemade caramel sauce? Enthusiasticly on board with candied citrus in all forms. Caramel sauce would not go amiss, but probably be used less. Do you like adult coloring books at all and if so do any of the ones from this store strike your fancy? I want to say yes, but should say no, as I have a bunch already. Including for my fandoms. how do you feel about solid perfumes? I'm almost exclusively a BPAL wearer, so unless you're making your own,, it's probably not my thing. When I've tried them,, I can never figure out how to apply them effectively. Is there anything in particular you'd want from the UK? All the sweets? Clotted cream isn't going to ship well. Mince pies. Are you ok with paper books at all? Sure, especially if it means you can send gently used copies or graphic novels. Do you already have expansion packs for your fave card games? Not sure I have favorite card games listed. I'd love CAH kids edition tho. Are you interested in perfume samples/decants, or only full sizes? For BPAL, either. Are you interested in oracle decks? I'm not opposed. How about wax melts? No thanks. Reindeer, are you interested in a muscle rub that is similar to icy hot but is homemade by us (cayenne pepper, menthol, wintergreen, beeswax, olive oil, herbs, etc.) ? If so, CBD version or no CBD version? I said no to the CBD version in another thread, but this might be a good chance to try that? How about some home grown organic cat nip? sure! How do you feel about fruit infused sugar/syrup? I have epic amounts of both, due to my candying this year. I have lemon, citron, orange and cherry. yes please! All sound lovely, especially cherry! How do you feel about candied quince? intrigued

UPDATED 9/14/16 Anything here: http://paintboxsoapworks.com/ look like something you'd like to try (assuming that you're not already ordering it)? My own answer is that I need just about everything in Red Right Hand, but I will probably be taking care of that myself. Do you like stuff related to Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)? I love Day of the Dead conceptually and have been fascinated with it ever since reading Ray Bradbury's stories about Mexico as a kid, but the mass commodification of it makes me a little uncomfortable as a lily white atheist. I do have some beautiful sugar skull items which were given to me by someone sharing her culture which I treasure and I would absolutely welcome more in that vein. Knitted Items? Absolutely! I would particularly be interested in fingerless gloves, but just about anything, really. <3 Fandom/Specific Items? Harry Potter, Ghostbusters (especially the new one), Doctor Who, Star Wars, also happy to take any My Little Pony stuff off your hands for my 6 year old (or me l). Fall/Halloween Icons? Bats, owls, gargoyles, skeletons, ravens, First, talk to me about soaps- do you like them, and what kinds of scents/lather/varieties do you like? Love soap! I tend to prefer hot process to glycerin, scents I think I cover pretty well in my questionnaire. Second, tell me about teas! Favorites? Anything you'd like to try? I love chocolate flavored and other sweet flavored teas, all the apple, pumpkin, chai this time of year. Lastly, I go to Renn Faire- is there anything from there you might like? It has been so long since I've been to one, I'm not even sure what I might like - jewelry, maile, that sort of thing is always good, I guess. What Weenie of year's past are you seeking from the lab? Nothing in particular. In terms of what I'm looking for and didn't purchase, my wishlist is in my sig. Are you a shawl wearer- and if you don't wear one now, would you? I would happily be a shawl wearer. Tell me about LUSH- do you like them? If so, what are some of your favorite things from there? Particularly fond scents or products? Stuff you can't stand? I don't care for their soap and I don't have a bathtub, so I don't currently have a use for bombs or melts...so, basically, I like Lush conceptually, but I don't actually use most of their products right now. I do love me some Lemony Flutter. Maybe lotion? Japanese goodies? I love Japanese sweets and Sanrio/Kawaii cuteness. So, in this swap, you open a goodie every day. I have seen this gift direction done several different ways, but I am interested in which you are most keen to do. Would you rather: A. have strict direction as to which gift is to be opened on which day(aka the number system)? B.have a few gifts that are meant to be opened on specific days (ex: *this* one is for Halloween night only), but the rest be your choice? C. have a free-for-all, grab bag-style box of goodies, where you are the sole arbiter of your goodie grabbing destiny(everything is wrapped but you pick the gift you want to open each day)? D. be surprised? I have received and given all of these ways and love them all. I know that is totally no help. The Witch is In/Out sign? That is super cute! I could definitely find a use for something like that. Pumpkin Spice or No Pumpkin Spice? ALL THE PUMPKIN SPICE!!!!! Although I prefer caramel apple Oreos and Milky Ways. Milk, white, and/or Dark Chocolate? Milk or white. If there is something amazing and on the sweet side that only comes in dark, I don't dislike it, but I prefer rich chocolate tastes to bitter ones. Do you like Yankee Candle? Anything you want from there? I'm not opposed and I love autumn scents, but I'm not familiar enough with their current line to have strong preferences. Anything you have your eye on at BPTP? Not in particular, but I'm always happy for decants from my wishlist. Bath and Body Works - yay or nay? Personally, I am a fan of their lotion and body wash, but not any of their perfume/body sprays/etc (unless you have a stockpile of their dry spray that came in an aerosol can that's been out of production for a couple of years). I also really like their handsoaps for the sink, but have a ton. Likewise, candles. Tell me of your Sock Dreams, please! Link to my wishlist is in the post below this one! I'd like to make some baked goods, would you like some? And if you have any food allergies what can I use as substitute? Absolutely. No allergies, but I definitely want full sugar, no stevia or anything. Anything special you want from the Target dollar spot? I haven't checked it out recently, but I often find fun sticky notes or magnetic notepads there, fun pens, little art supplies. I live in The Netherlands. If there's anything in particular that you'd like to get from here, now's the time to tell! Struphwaffles (I am sure that I just butchered that), and I still covet more of the chocolate covered salty licorice that you, Nemi, sent me in another swap. I'm sort of collecting Lush showergels.Regular collection, but also many Kitchen items. Are there any showergels you'd like to try? I'd be happy to make you samples! I have no idea about any of these, so sure! I do like shower gel. What is your stance on Glitter? I have a 6 year old child who loves anything that sparkles. Thankfully, my stance on glitter is essentially bring it on or I would have already become homicidal. Also, if you have a Goodreads or other online reading log, does it include a wishlist? Otherwise, is it safe to assume books on the 'to-read' section are wishlist items? Or are you less into keeping a physical copy of the book, and instead prefer to turn to the awesomeness of the library to get your to-read need accomplished. My Goodreads is pretty comprehensive and I try to be good about noting whether I already have a copy or whether I want a copy as part of my sub-shelves - generally speaking, if it is marked as want-a-copy, I specifically want to own it, not get it from the library. If it is marked as on-my-shelves, I have a copy, I've just yet to read it. Otherwise, things are fair game. If I have neglected to note that I already own something that is on my to-read shelf and you end up sending me something that I already have, well, that's my bad. Tea lovers, what do you like from Whittard? I have never tried them, but would happily do so! how about art? (Small/mailing safe sizes, course) I have fairly limited space in our new house due to the layout, so while my answer is always yes, I'm a little less enthusiastic than I might otherwise be just due to circumstances. Dearest Pumpkin - how much are you wedded to wishlists, say I have some read once books which I think you might like based on what you've read in the past, but there is nothing of the sort on your current Goodreads "to read" list? I am not at all wedded to them. I do suggest checking my "read" shelf at Goodreads before investing in off-wishlist books, but I am always thrilled to receive new options that I may not have thought of or discovered yet! How do you feel about reading series out of order? Obviously not in situations where the subsequent books are part of the same story arc where you will be totally lost and frustrated if you haven't read all of them, but say, standalone stories which are technically part of a series and which might obliquely reference past books, but not in such as way as to spoil the plot of the book which I happen to have in my possession that you might like. In the situation I'm describing, I am totally fine - if you have, say, the 4th Tana French novel, send it on. If the story relies heavily on past action, I'd rather not, but especially for long detective series and others where the basic plot is wrapped up in each book, that's fine. Would you be interested in a Halloween themed short story anthology? Absolutely. I have Halloween edited by Paula Guran, but not any others. Is there a limit to the number of books you'd like to receive? I wouldn't want to only receive books, but I would be happy to have 3-4 nights of them if there's stuff you think I'd love. Movies in 15 Minutes? Why yes, I have read it and have a copy I'd love to pass on to a fellow forumite. Question: What kind of phone do you have? I need to know.... I have a Galaxy S5 Active at present, but will hopefully be upgrading to a 7 at some point during the swap. Have you seen the horror film The Babadook? If so, did you like it? Would you want something Babadook-themed? I haven't seen it. Based on the description I googled I can't decide if I would probably love it or spend the entire time feeling ill over kids in danger. Those who are amenable to yarnie things--ok, two questions: Any undesirable fibers (wool allergy, vegan so no critter hair at all, etc.)? and how do you feel about cowls/infinity scarves? I'm not allergic or vegan or otherwise totally opposed to anything, but wool is definitely not my favorite fiber unless it is super soft. That's really my biggest requirement - I like things super soft. In terms of infinity scarves, I've never really gotten the knack for them. Which doesn't mean I'm opposed to them, I just don't have any. Motherhood update: Haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but will update! So who likes incense? and is there a preferred scent? and cones or sticks? Would you like a burner for it? Not sure if I mentioned this in my survey, but ABSOLUTELY NO INCENSE PLEASE. It will never ever get used unless I send it to someone else and is frequently a migraine trigger. So please no thank you.
