S’mores?

Of course!

 

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

Puddin slipped in White Pumpkin Extract when I was at the BPAL booth at NYCC, which really made my day. Besides that, I can't actually think of one.

 

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 spices, and kitchen supplies are also well loved.

 

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 can never say no to pajama bottoms, especially Halloween ones.

 

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?

Dark! and chocolate with chilies or nuts, or really, anything. Also, I love milk. Rally any chocolate.

 

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter! Trader Joe's Apple Butter! Those chocolate pumpkin cookies! (I love Trader Joe's)

 

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!

 

 

Fluffy Halloween themed slippers. I have been looking for a pair for a while.

 

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here?

OMG, MAPLE SYRUP! Seriously, I love maple syrup.

 

What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?

While I do love Dr. Who and Firefly, I think my biggest fandom is Lovecraft. I collect Lovecraft themed tees and I absolutely adore anything Miskatonic themed.

 

 

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

I have a Nook and an iPad. On my iPad, I use the Kindle reader.

 

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

I love candles. My favorite candle is the Edgar Allen Poe candle from Paddywax, but I also love a good pumpkin scent.

 

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 Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that?

I have never had TimTams, or other yummy Aussie goodies, so I will always say yes to them. BUT! I still have my koala from sunshinedaisybliss when bought some oils off her, so I know that Australia is filled with awesome things!

 

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 am a knitter myself so I will always say yes to more amazing knitted goodies (as long as you're willing to give up the pattern so I can try it out myself!).

 

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?

I have a pug who is a treat addict! HOWEVER! He only eats grain-free food because he smells if we feed him grainy foods.

 

 

How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box?

I would love it! As long as it's not a taste of something gross...

 

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 TO BOTH! I love wild rice and maple syrup. Honestly, I LOVE all foods, so I won't complain about any foodie things to come my way.

 

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?

Swoon. Yes.

 

Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name?

I. Love. Bats.

 

9/18

 

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round?

I might be gone for a day or two, but nothing long-term.

 

Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth ?

I'm not a huge Disney fan, but I love the Haunted Mansion. I even use clips from the ride as my ringtones!

 

Stuffed things: yea or nay?

Stuffed spooky things, yes.

 

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?

Sounds fun! Yes!

 

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?

YES! But I dislike white wine and hoppy beers.

 

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?

I keep trying to learn how to spin, but never got around to it. And I actively collect Halloween scraps for one day getting into scrapbooking.

 

Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas?

I would be happy, but only if it's filled with caffeine and NOTHING fruity. I like just plain teas: Black, green, white, or Mate.

 

Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue?

My handle there is stalecake, and I would love gift patterns!

 

I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them?

There would be squeeing! Lots and lots!

 

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?

I like pumpkin ANYTHING. ANYTHING PUMPKIN, GIVE TO ME.

 

What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style?

It has no style, since it's a tiny apartment kitchen. Normally, I use red appliances and Halloween tea towels (those ones from Martha Stewart!).
