Dear Witch: You are awesome!! Please know that this questionnaire is just meant to help you come up with some ideas. I am going to adore anything you send me and (hopefully) we'll both gain a new friend. Thanks so much!


Pumpkin: pumpkin forever, yo.

Alcohol: wine, beer (imported and microbreweries), cider, vodka, dark rum, coffee liquer… yah, I like booze.

Are you a fan of the TV show Penny Dreadful? I really liked the first 5 episodes but stopped watching. I love Eva Green and Josh Hartnett, so I will probably pick it up again.

What are your coffee and tea preferences? Do you prefer one, the other, both, or neither (and if it's neither, what about things like hot cider and cocoa)? Loose leaf or bags, whole bean or ground? Is caffeine OK? Any gadgetry you're in need of? Any brands or flavors that you particularly love, loathe, or want to try? I love both coffee and tea. I have a tassimo and use it daily. For tea, I love loose leaf and will try anything - but I love green, rooibos, chai, oolong, herbal etc. Teavana is a favourite but I love discovering new companies.

What's your sense of humor like? Do you enjoy puns? Play on words? Dirty humor? Dry humor? Who are some of your favorite comedians? Dry humour. Sarcasm. Snark. Witty banter.

Do you like board games? If so, which ones? Traditional or more unique? (like Settlers of Catan, Small World, Red Dragon Inn, etc): I love old school stuff like Clue and Scrabble, and I LOVE Cards Against Humanity.

Is there anything that you specifically do NOT want to receive? You know, I really can’t think of anything. Maybe chocolate covered insects. Or bug related in general.

Plain or fun socks? Fun! I love crazy colours and patterns and animals and stuff.

Name one (or as many as you would like) thing you would like to learn more about? Oh god - where to begin… languages, ancient civilizations, travel and culture, food, wire wrapping, soap making, animals, astrology, divination… anything really.

What one thing you would like to do more of? Travel. And exercise.

What are some things that fascinate you? Or, What would you like to know more about? See above

Would you like any cookie butter (just to be clear, store-bought, not home-made, and does contain wheat since it's, y'know, cookie butter)? I discovered Trader Joe’s cookie butter last year in NYC. It’s pure heaven.

Is there any particular piece (or pieces) of art (painting, photograph, etc) that speaks to you in some way? There’s no particular piece but I like Mucha, Degas, Van Gogh, Basquiat and Bosch. I’m also a huge pop culture fan and love looking for art from Mondo or Gallery 1988 as well as etsy.

What kinds of things would you like from the Lilith BPAL or BPTP update (or are you joining a decant circle?) I’m not joining a circle and I’m most interested in (sorry about CAPS, just copying from announcement) GIVE ME THY BREATH, MY SISTER, LITTLE LADY MACBETH, MEUS AMOR AETERNUS (this one looks incredible), EN GARDE, MUDDY PUDDLES and ONCE UPON A TIME. OK, I totally caved and joined a circle and ordered decants/bottles of everything I wanted. I have no restraint.

Do you want to received knit or crocheted items? If so, could you describe or even link to a couple of items similar to what you would like to receive? I love scarves and mittens and leg warmers and handwarmers.

Would you like anything from Lush? More like, what wouldn’t I like from Lush. I love lush, sooo much (wiccy magic muscle bars, shower jellies, bath bombs etc)

Do you prefer hand-made or store-bought? Both!!
SPICY! Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" and 10 being "ghost pepper? scorpion pepper? I laugh at these! I love as much heat as you can throw my way!" Where are you? A solid 5. I like spice and flavour with some heat.

What is your BPAL "Holy Grail"?
Rares: Antique Lace and Pinched with 4 Aces. I've managed to track down a 1/4 bottle of each but I would take any little bit at all. Also, TAL small batch of Seduction IX. I lost mine in my move and and I'm heartbroken. For GC's, Dorian and Snake Oil are the blends I reach for the most often and love the greatest.
Analog or Digital? Or Both?
Both. I collect vintage LP's and will pick up the odd CD at Value Village, but I love itunes and I paid for Spotify premium because I hate the ads and I like to be able to download my fave tracks to listen to offlline.
What scents from other perfume companies are you really wanting to have in your collection and or are just really wanting to test? Companies like NAVA, Arcana, Solstice Scents, Possets, Haus of Gloi etc.....?
I really, really want to try some NAVA but I find it so hard to navigate their website and understand their terminology - any kind of general catalog samples would be so appreciated. Haus of Gloi, the same (but I'm dying to try Ghost Puffs). Arcana isn't one that I've had great success with, and I've never tried Solstice or Possets.

Do you have an affinity for any specific animals?
Cats. I love cats. All kinds domestic or big game cats. Foxes (arctic, red and fennec), wolves, chickadees. I think squirrels are adorable.

Kitchen Needs or Wants?
I LOVE kitchen stuff. I love cooking. I could use a garlic press, cool tea towels (halloween theme SO welcome), and this is the greatest ladle EVER: nessie ladle
Makeup! Do you like it, would you want some? If so what brands do you like to wear?
I love makeup, especially lip gloss, eye liner and eye shadow. I subscribe to ipsy and and I'm just getting into more name brands (like urban decay and lancome, etc) but thy can be super pricey so unless my Witch works at MAC or a beauty counter, I definitely don't expect it. I do like indie brands like geek chic cosmetics too, and if my Witch knows of a cool brad to intro me to, awesome. I'm down with fun colours and sparkle and really anything aside from yellow shades (too pale).
Chocolate fiends ahoy! What kind of chocolate do you like? Do you like any other things in it or just plain good ole chocolate?
I like chocolate and love milk and dark over white. I don't have any particular brands I must have, but I'd love to try things not available in Canada. I like nuts and toffee and peanut butter or fruit mixed in with my chocolate as well. Caramel/chocolate is one thing I'm not crazy about.
Would you be opposed to receiving a ton of Halloween themed items?
NOPE. Fave time of the year.

Would you be interested in any special little thing I might be able to pick up from the Great Lakes Bat Festival this Saturday? Both Janell Cannon (author of Stellaluna and other kids' books) and Fiona Reid (illustrator for lots of animal field guides) will be there, so would you possibly be interested in something like an autographed copy of Stellaluna or one of Cannon's or Reid's other books? Or something from the Organization for Bat Conservation, like a shirt or otherswag?
No thank you.
What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles?
I did join a circle, but I have a few that I would love to try that had to be cut for budget reasons, and decants are fine Départ Pour Le Sabbat (Aufbruch Zum Hexensabbat), The Witches’ Rout (the Carcass), La Femme de Satan, Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cookie, Samhain, Sugar Skull 2015, Apple I.

What's your favorite scary movie? Or movies, either way. If you don't like horror, what are your favorite movies to watch this time of year?
I adore scary movies. I tend to prefer intense thrillers and comedy horror over torture porn (think Hostel, Saw, The Hills Have Eyes remakes). I love to watch Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream series, Sinister, Insidious, the Conjuring, Evil Dead series, The Cabin in the Woods, The Faculty and the Crow as well as Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic and the Nightmare Before Christmas around Halloween. I always take a 5 day break from work around Halloween, just to watch horror flicks and eat candy and de-stress before my job goes nuclear at Christmas.

Blu-ray or DVD?
Blu-ray or dvd is fine, I can play both.

Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console?
PS3 and Nintendo 2DS. I don't game on my laptop.

Are you dressing up for Halloween and if so do you need any accessories for if?
I don't know if I'm dressing up yet, so I'm going to say no.
Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles?
I always like messenger and tote bags. Big enough to carry my iPad Air is good, or to be used for reusable shopping bags.
What are your favorite fandoms and do you want to receive anything related to such?
Currently my fav fandoms are Mad Max: Fury Road, Orphan Black, The 100, Marvel (Movies and MCU - specifically Black Widow, Agent Carter tv/movies but Hawkeye(s), Captain Marvel for comic verse). I would love cool stuff on etsy for these fandoms or anything you think I'd love. (I have a big Funko Pop Figure and Action figure collection, so maybe just not those or have a mod ask me if you're concerned I might already own it).
What are you planning to order from the Weenies update?
I ordered some bottles and decants from my decantress, but anything else I really wanted to try I listed above.

The Last Huzzah of the NY Renaissance Faire happens this weekend and I'm going! Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!)
I've never actually been to a Ren Faire, so if there is something you'd think I'd enjoy, than sure!

Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read?
I LOVE comics. Massively. One GN I'm super eager to read is this one (doesn't have to be a brand new copy; if you can find a gently used verson for cheap, go for it)

Do you like fanfic? Would you like a story written for you as part of your gift? What characters/fandoms/pairings etc do you like?
I love fic, and write it. You can check out my stuff here (be warned, it's often angsty and sometimes has adult/NSFW situations) to get an idea of what I dig. I join Yuletide every year on Ao3.

Where do you have wishlists at? If you could please link to them or to a post that links to them. (Amazon, Etsy, Think Geek, Pinterest, Sephora, Lush, BPAL/BPTP, Soap Box Company, everywhere and anywhere!)
My BPAL wishlist is in my signature and I've got an etsy one in my blog. I don't have an amazon one, my pinterest is purely black milk. I will try to make one for thinkgeek and sephora and list them in my blog asap. BPAL is up to date, etsy is not (I'll fix tonight).

Let's say you have indicated interest in receiving a hand knitted item. What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot.
I love emerald green, burgandy/wine, dark purple, soft grey, and deepest black.

Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end?
Whatever my Witch can afford. Shipping can be expense. I love getting some little ones and I love receiving a big one. Whatever works for you (I love e-cards and emails and ninja messages too)

For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)?
Of course!!! I love it when anyone helps to support local/indie merchants and shops.

If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline? Lush, Disney Store, Aritzia, lululemon, Sephora, Roots, Northface, Anthropologie, Top Shop, Bench, H&M, Chapters.

Subscription Boxes: Currently just ipsy, but I'm trying out randomfandom box for October, because Mad Max: Fury Road.

Would Witchees like something from IKEA? (Or any other not always accessible by everyone store?)
I loved my ikea garlic press that recently died after over a decade of use. We just went a few months ago and I bought pillows, callax units for the lp collection, and a bunch of other stuff too.

Do you like tarts/candles/incense? If so, what type of scents?
Incense is a huge no (headache central for me and the boy) and I love candles but, but my other half has a TBI and he's super sensitive to smells. I had scentsy but that was event to much for him. I'll have to say no since some scents are ok and others are completely no for him (I wouldn't want it to go to waste).

Is there anything you wish you could have picked up from the Dragon*Con exclusives?
I picked up everything I desperately wanted, but I'd love to try decants/testers of the peaches.

Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet?
Wishlist is updated in my signature

**The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral?
Copper is fine! I have a massive jewellery collection (I worked for 2 Canadian retail jewellery stores for years, the sister sold Stella&Dot, etc). I love all types - fun, loud and statement styles as well as understated and classic. Copper is cool as well.

We asked about decorating style, but are you interested in receiving decorations for your home? Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves?
Both are fine - but I am in a small apartment so space is limited.

Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites?
I love journals, specifically handmade ones. Pens are always welcome.

Talk to me about socks! Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place?
I've never shopped on Sock Dreams before. I love a pair of fuzzy, soft warm boot socks (Canadian Winters). Bright colours and patterns are welcome.

I live near a huuuuge candy store. What kind of candy do you like? Gummies? Caramel? Chocolate? Sour? Sugar-free?
Gummies, chocolate, sweet or sour. Caramel in small doses is ok.

No thank you.

Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area?
I don't think this is available in my area.

I'm such a stuffed animal lover. I have 3 from squishables (Werewolf, Arctic Fox and Grey Kitten). I have some Funko stuffys of Thor and Captain America. I'm a big kid who still collects toys (action figures) as well as high end statues and collectibles. I have some Every After High dolls (Madeline Hatter and Cerise Hood) too.

Did you see the eclipse last night? How do you feel about astrological events, like eclipses? Any interest in the Blood Moon Eclipse scent from BPAL?
I watched for a bit. I'm interested in trying the perfume, but it's not something likely need a bottle of.

Witchee's, how tall are you? And perhaps, what's your arm span (from wrist to wrist)?
5'6. No idea about span.

How do you feel about the 4 elements? Or are you more of an Asian 5 elements person? Do you feel strongly about any of the elements, like a connection or a preference?

Everything. I LOVE PBS. I've only had her soap, but I'm so interested in trying her scrubs. All soaps and scrubs are welcome, any scents.

If I were to make you some art, would you prefer a frame that hangs or one that sits? And what color/style would you prefer?
Hang. I have cats, so sitting frames are not practical

How do you feel about gourmet marshmallows?
sure!
Are you a slatherer or a dabber?
SLATHERER.

Talk to me, dear witchies, about tea. I know we've covered this a little, but I really need the nitty gritty here- not just companies you like and don't like (Teavana? Adagio? David's? Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary.

I have an plastic tea maker from Teaopia that is great. I'd love a travel tumbler specifically for tea. I pretty much love all teas, but herbal citrus blends (perfect for iced tea) are my current loves. I don't sweeten my teas aside from the odd bit of honey.

Villainess is putting out brand new stuff for the first time in a while (as opposed to bringing back former lines). Sooo.... who wants it?
Honeyleaf sounds wonderful. I love villainess soaps and my absolute favourite item they make is the Smack. I haven't bought one in years because of the shipping fees.

No thank you
Are there any flowers you especially like?
Lilac, lavender are my two faves. Not a big flower fan.

Sure. Bookmarks are always loved.
I make handmade journals, mini albums and similar items. Would my witchee be interested in something like that?
I love handmade journals.

I don't really do CD's anymore - spotify playlists are great though!
Are you interested in leg warmers at all?
Yup.
Is your Halloween style scary, cutesy, folksy, grotesque . . .?
Scary with some cute.

I bought the Portal board game last week & it came with a Portal 2 steam free download code. I already have the game on another console & it's one of my favorite series of all time. Soooo, would you want it?
I don't think so - I rarely have time to play what games I have on my PS3. Thanks though!

Have you read The Martian? Or do you plan on watching the movie?
I'm planning on doing both.
NaNoWriMo - Pertaining to that, how does everyone feel about such things? Will anyone be participating? How about NaNo swag, is there any you want?
I'd LOVE to do NaNo, but November is a such a busy time of work for me. I tend to focus on participating in Yuletide instead.

Honey or beeswax products? Discuss.
I love beeswax lip balms and candles and use only honey or maple syrup as natural sweeteners (I'm lucky to have an apiary down the road from my Mother's house and my cousin taps the maple trees on his property).

Speaking of nail things, it that time of year and I am doing my jamberry order, Would you want some Lovely Jamberry's for your nails?
I've never tried! Patterns look excellent. I'd for sure try it out.

Do you like or want to try Marmite?
No thank you.
Some folks have already said they do not want used nail polish. If you haven't already chimed in about that... would you be interested in a bottle of BPTP claw polish (in this case, either Event Horizon or Baku) that has been used for one manicure?
Once used is fine

Are there any DISCONTINUED (not LE) BPAL oils that you wish you had, or had a little more of?
Hmmm... Antique Lace for always and I'm still upset I don't have a bottle of Tintagel, or imps of Yvaine or Nocnitsa.
Is there anything fairly basic that you're always running out of and need to buy more of?
Nothing that I can think of at the moment.
Anything interest you from the recent Blooddrop update?
