Some suggestions:
Resin: lighting in general (sconces, standing torches, or even jack-o-turnip) and poison bombs which will be useful later against groups of enemies like wolves and fulings.
GD eyes: standing blue torch and eyescream. Blue torches are visible from the longest distance and it looks great, while eyescream is great stam food.

Fire arrows also use up resin rather nicely, if you use the bow a lot and haven't progressed to high-quality arrows.
