Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things?: sorta
What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.: I was frimped am emtire bar of Sugar Skull soap
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): yes, but no chopsticks or bento box stuff
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 do! XL - XXL
What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?: I actually don't love chocolate, but when I eat it, I prefer nuts, and dark chocolate. I do love Ritter chocolate, though.
I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I'm not sure!
Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?: This is ok.
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! : Foot repair cream, a ritter chocolate with hazelnuts bar, hair ties, and a lip gloss.
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? Mexican, Italian. Olive Garden, IHOP, Texas Roadhouse,
I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? : Maple syrup.
what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?: Poe, Nightmare Before Christmas, zombies, werewolves, Where the Wild Things are, Beetlejuice, some Lovecraft, some Harry Potter, True Blood, Charlie Brown,
Do you have an eReader and if so which one? I use my husband's Nook.
Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?: I do, but I don't use them often, because I have a toddler. But; when I do burn them, I prefer autumny scents.
Marzipan: nope
Muslin reusable squares: Sure
Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't): I don't know if my state allows it, and I'm breastfeeding anyway, so... probably better to not!
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?: My partner doesn't have a preference, I don't think. Though; all candy and food goodies do get shared with him, unless specified otherwise. My littles are pretty little, so I don't think they'd really notice, but if you would like to include them, feel free. My cats; I'm sure, would appreciate the beloved catnip, or a toy, or something.
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 love knitted/crocheted things. I don't go much for fingerless gloves, or arm warmers. I do NOT like hats, at all. They make my head feel too warm. Wraps, and scarves, are wonderful. Bear in mind; I live in the desert though. Blankets are ALWAYS used, though.
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've never had a TimTam! That would be nice to try. Or Caramello Koalas!

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? : Ozymandias!

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?
