Allergies, dietary, and lifestyle restrictions:

 

For matching purposes, are there any common allergens in your environment, that might affect matching (pets, smoke, live in a field of ragweed)?

 

We have cats and a dog. I am very careful to make sure pet hair doesn't end up in packages but anyone with bad allergies probably wouldn't want the risk.

 

Do you (or anyone who might come in contact or view of the contents of these glorious packages) have any kind of phobia, trigger, or squick-out which is likely to arise in fall or Halloween-themed goodies (please address concerns over spiders, ghosts, severed hands, etc., here)?

 

Nothing with too many spiders. I am totally fine with spiders but my husband and son are aracnophobic. If they don't look very real that's fine but a fake egg sac would not be.

 

Is there anything (that you know of) which it is illegal to mail to you, or that might cause Customs to become upset and hang on to your package?

 

If mailing to the USA from another country you can not mail any fruit, vegetables, plants, or seeds. You also can't ship nail polish or perfumes containing alcohol internationally.

 

Do you celebrate any fall holidays? Please feel free to place as much info/context as you wish:

 

I celebrate Halloween and Samhain

 

Are there certain things for these holidays--or your general love of fall-- that you would particularly appreciate receiving?

 

I prefer the orange and black vintage halloween type decorations. I also love the classic movie monsters, haunted houses, ravens, and skeletons. Think spooky more than gorey.

 

If you celebrate Halloween, are you dressing up? I haven't decided what I'm doing this year.

 

*What as? Not sure

 

*Would you like costume additions or accessories? No thanks

 

Would you like decorations? Sure

 

Favorite Colors: Green and purple / red and black/ black and grey

 

Least Favorite Colors: Pastels

 

Favorite Flavors: Pumpkin, chocolate, spices, caramel

 

Least Favorite Flavors: sour...unless it's sour apple

 

Do you like coffee and/or tea? Tea!

 

Favorite snacks and treats: I can't think of much to put down because most of my snacks/treats are fruits. Though I do like cookies, good chocolate, and if you are international love to try treats I can't get in the US

 

Favorite scents(both specific notes and perfume blends): To give you an idea my favorite BPAL scents are: Burial, Snake Oil, Gingerbread Snake, Ouija, Womb Fury, and Jack. I tend to go for foodie, spicy, leathery sorts of scents. Rarely do florals except for Jasmine. I LOVE honey notes.

 

Least Favorite Scents: Anything with rose, ozone, or "cold" scents.

 

Do you wear nail polish? Not really.

 

Would you like makeup? Not for this swap as I'm pretty picky with my makeup

 

*If you would like makeup, what sorts would you prefer?

 

*Any favorite makeup brands, colors?

 

*Any hated/not-preferred makeup brands, colors, or products (example: thanks to your sample box of choice, you hope never to see another black eyeliner as long as you live)?

 

Favorite bath and body products? No products for baths because I only have a shower, so things like bath bombs won't work. Hair gloss is good. I like nice soaps too.

 

Personal clothing style: Goth casual...I wear a lot of staple pieces (jeans, leggings, t-shirts, cardigans) but they are usually black...or have bones on them...and it's all about the accessories: shoes, hair, jewelry

 

Do you like jewelry? I do but I'm a jeweler so I tend to just wear my own. Though if you make jewelry I love to have pieces by other jewelry makers too.

 

*If so, what sort? Pendants, bracelets, and earrings

 

*What sizes and/or lengths do you prefer? 18" or longer necklaces, I have a 7" wrist but if it's a bangle with no clasp than it needs to be large, any earrings but wearing more dangly earring lately.

 

Would you enjoy receiving wearables (shirts, socks, shoes, arm/legwarmers, hats,etc.)? hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, and socks are OK

 

*Sizing on wearables: I don't think those really come in sizes. Just general women's sizes.

 

Home style: In progress. We're in the middle of clearing out and reworking things right now. Though I adore Victorian architecture and styling, collect horror memorabilia, my husband is into sci-fi and baseball, and our home is very mid-70's...you can see what I'm working with here.

 

Would you appreciate decoratives or art for your home? No thank you

 

*Are there any restrictions (no naked people, no breakables, that kind of thing)?

 

What sort of music do you like? Most kinds but I listen to a lot of hard rock, goth, punk, alternative sorts of things.

 

Are you okay with burned music CDs? I don't have a way to play them.

 

Do you have VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray...Betamax? DVD & Blu-ray

PDFs and craft patterns? I have a Ravelry wish list for the knitting patterns I'd like. My Ravelry name is also Spookygrrrly

 

Are there any other members of your household(significant other, furbabies, small, adorable humanoids, any other awesome person you consider partof your world) who might appreciate a little bit of fall-themed gifting? They get spoiled enough (trust me) this swap is just for me
