I like bright and fluorescent colours, although I do love grey.
I'm a big pink fanatic I like colours that clash in a good way like dark purple and bright yellow, hot pink and turquoise, orange and pink etc.
I do also like pale colours but not as clothing. I also like monochrome.

I love japanese fabrics, polka dots, stripes/pinstripes, stars, abstract and geometric patterns, hearts, animal patterns but not too OTT, gingham and check, fleur de lys, wallpaper patterns.

• Craft materials: fabric, buttons, RIT dye (I can't get it here), ribbons, cute embellishments, sewing patterns, embroidery, resin art material, fray check, doll customisation materials, flat head sewing pins with unusual heads (not the regular, plain flower head or round head)

• Food/Drink: any tasty foods or drinks not easily available in the UK sweet or savoury. I love trying new things and I'll try any food at least once. Stuff I have tried and know I like are Pocky, Pretz, Cream Collon, Picco (I prefer Japanese Glico to Thai), Camu Yogurt, Mountain Dew, Mac and Cheese. Food that mixes salty and sweet together like chocolate covered pretzels. I like both chocolate and candy ^_^ I like white and milk chocolate. I do like dark chocolate but only if it is 80% cocoa or more.
  I do not like black liquorice but I do like liquorice flavoured sweets like black jacks.

• Handmade gifts, I don't really mind what to be honest as long as it has patterns and colours I like.

• Any beauty products not easily available in the UK; especially nail art products (not flower stickers/stamps) and nail polishes.
  Stuff like Nfu Oh, Gradation Liquid, Konad products, any flakies any cutesy nail art items.
  As for beauty products I'd like to try a BB cream and any mineral products, especially bright shadows/glitters or bright blushes.
  Also bright or sparkly/glittery/shimmery liners. Any unusual or kawaii beauty products (not Eyeko stuff please) My skin tone is medium - think Halle Berry.

• Any kawaii stationary items such as: B5 or larger exercise books/notebooks for Uni, stamps, sticky notes, labels, letter sets (including mini ones) anything really would be nice ^_^ (no spiral bound things please).

• Any other random kawaii/geeky/quirky items. I like accessories (including jewellery - my ears are pierced) a lot.

• A kawaii shower hair band.

• A kawaii recipe file/folder type thing, like a small A5 about binder for me to my recipes in.

• Kawaii key caps (those cute faces etc. that you put over the tops of your keys).

• Kawaii phone charms please ^_^

• I would love one of those Mouse Disney hats with the ears on that you get at Disney World/Land if its sparkly/sequined and pink even better!

• I love Florence Kate Upton illustrations of the Golliwogg character and would love some pins with the illustrations on or prints or something like that. It is particularly Uptons version that I like and not really others.
  (Although the word golliwogg has been made into a racial slur in the past I can say I am in no way racist and am mixed race myself I just think the books and the illustrations are cute, just wanted to clarify that because I know people can easily get the wrong idea)

• I also adore Alice in Wonderland so anything Alice inspired would be wonderful

• I like steam punk goggles/pocket watches and other steam punk inspired jewellery or accessories.

• I enjoy cooking especially desserts or cuisine I'm not used to, so maybe some home recipes.

• I am not religious myself so I would prefer not to get anything religious.

• I would prefer not to receive clothes, unless it's accessories (hats/bags/scarf/hair accessories etc.) of course. I don't mind getting shoes/socks my size is UK 4.5 / US 7 / EU 37.5.

• I don't mind handmade toys, but I do not like teddy bears.

• I am allergic to Baby oil - so please don't send me anything that is Baby oil or similar to it like massage oils.

• More details of things I like are given in the rest of my profile.

• I know some things on my list are expensive, at least where I live so I am no way expecting to get everything on here.
  However, I would not mind at all receiving just a single item in a swap if it was dear (pricey).
  This includes handmade items that took a lot of time to craft.
