Dear Witch, I get back to this to update when I can, nudge me if there are things you need me to answer.

9/19<>Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf?

No

If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that? If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? I don't use LJ much, I've never had a paid for account.

if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card?

I don't know much about tarot, I wouldn't mind learning more.

would you like your own set of handmade rune stones or worry stones?

I don't think I'd use them

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above?

All of the above I'm avoiding the hot chocolate right now though

">Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above?

See above answer (all of the above)

Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.)

To be honest I prefer loose tea but I generally use bags, any gadgets would be well tested.

Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please?

Goodreads is out of date, Amazon may be a bit better, will make sure I update it soon.(this is on Amazon.co.uk nothing on .com)

Are you a gamer (of any sort - video, casual, tabletop) and are there any games you want?

Not at all

Do you like coffee? If so, what kinds? Flavored, fancy, basic? Beans or ground?

Not flavoured, I like my coffee plain and rich, I don't have a grinder so I can't use beans.

Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place?

I prefer Costa (not sure is this just a UK chain? they are everywhere here)

Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY?

I'd love it, but I shouldn't be eating it at the moment.

CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something alltogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...?

I would love this, bowls, dishes anything, I don't think it would be practical to post though

9/18

Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? Its more like I forget until I hear them again. I'll add later if I remember

Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionaire?

Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting?

Can't think of one, we have a stupidly large DVD collection

Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products?

I haven't tried any

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? I'd be rubbish at choosing the notes, I'm not very good at working out which motes I like. Love the concept.

Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey?

 

Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? Is this an alcohol question? If so the answer is all of the above!

are there any if MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in?

I have a few, will get back to you with those i haven't read

I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there?No need I have one near here

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

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 ?No thanks

 

dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? i'm talking something like this.

Do you lust after some new socks/tights? I do like ankle socks, however my sock drawer has become communal, daughters 2 and 3 "borrow" regularly when they can't find their own socks.

Ninjas or Pirates?

I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant?

I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you?

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

Not now, when I was younger we followed Scottish customs like apple bottom, carving turnips (swede) into lanterns (no pumpkins)

Are you OK with "special deliveries"?

Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?

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?

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?Love to try different things, especially local specialities

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?

Not a member

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?

Dislike Hershey's Kisses, sorry.

Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays

Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?

">What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike?

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 Powerthat has quite a wide selection.

Will take a look and edit later.

If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments?

Great site, I enjoyed looking but I don't think I need anything unless it comes with instructions.

>Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern?

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?Tree of Life , will add links later

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?

The Lion

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?<Not big, my no1 daughter is into OPI, I don't know much about nail polish

Stuffed things: yea or nay?

Food yes, toys not so much.

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?Not something I'd use

live near this very cool Retro store (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them?I like a few of the things

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)

Spices are great, I love spicy food (useful if they are gluten free but not essential as I often cook for just my husband and me. Kitchen utensils I can find good use for.

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'm not sure, my PJ bottoms are all knee length jersey style

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

All the chocolate, my favourite is milk and nutty, or minty or praline or coffee flavoured etc I'm trying to cut sweet stuff from my diet so I haven't eaten chocolate for weeks and this question is making me hungry

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 don't know any of these, sorry.

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?

Perfectly acceptable

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!

Difficult question as I think I'd pick up things I liked the look of. If I was in a different country I'd be looking at unusual (to me) goodies, sweeties that I'm not supposed to be eating, snacks or gum, lip balm ,stationary, sticky pads, that kind of thing.

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?

My favourite restaurants tend to be those that I go to with my family, so they need to be gluten free. We like Yo sushi for regular visits and Carluccios for special occasions.

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

I've never been to Canada so I don't know what I'm missing.

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

No fandoms, don't wear t-shirts often, fairly picky about style due to having a weird rib deformity thing. Must be black/dark colours, fairly loose (UK size 16- think this s about 14 US) with v or deep scoop neck.

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

Kindle and iPad

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

Not flowery, I enjoyed Witches brew Yankee candle that my lovely witch Molls sent, I looked and couldn't buy that scent here.

Marzipan?I adore marzipan with a passion, if you are in Spain you must spend me all your marzipan Actually I'm trying to avoid all sugary foods at the moment so maybe just half the world supply would do.

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?

I think so

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?I'd be very happy to receive this but I don't think international post would allow it

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?Spices would be lovely<

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 have a coat with 3/4 sleeves, I'd really love long gloves or arm warmers to wear with it

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? r No need, my daughters always like to share everything

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.I think the postage may be too much

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? As above

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

Delighted, I love to try things local to one area.

Last year, my wonderful witch Alethia adopted a bat for me from batworld.org, a bat rescue and sanctuary. Bat's World Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? If that made my witch happy it would please me too.

Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things? No

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