NEWBIES:Christmas Tote Bag Swap (U.S.) EDITED

This is the NEWBIE Version of this swap. I have another swap up like this one for more seasoned swappers :) Newbies are welcome to join this swap with a well filled out profile.

I did one of these last Christmas for Newbies and everyone who joined LOVED their Bag and had a lot of fun!! It's almost Christmas, so I thought we could do it again this year!!

This Swap will be for One Smaller Size Cloth Mini Tote, Stuffed with Goodies for your Partner. These Mini Totes are available at most .99 cent stores and dollar stores. Any Color, Sturdy Material or Pattern is Fine. Should be about 8" X 9"

The spending minimum is set at $10 not including shipping. That is just an estimated amount..

Last year, shipping for this tote was only around $5. So it wasn't bad at all.

Everyone will have One partner and will be stuffing the bag with 10 different items and a Christmas Card. You can send extras if you like but it is not required. Duplicates are fine but are counted as One Item. The idea is to give your partner a pretty wide variation of Surprises in their Mini Tote:)

Handmade or Store bought items are both fine, Or you may use Craft Supplies from your own Stash as long as Everything is in New, Clean, Usable Condition. Please try to include a few Girl-y Items for your Partner.

This one is Senders Choice, which means that your partner can send what they choose, So, if you receive a tote Bag with 10 wrapped items and a Christmas Card that are clean and new, your partner has fulfilled the requirements of the swap and should be rated a 5, I am encouraging everyone to look at their partners wishlists for ideas.

I am not expecting anyone to be disappointed at all but, If anyone is not happy with their bag, please let me know so we can do something about it :)

. You can start putting this together right away if you like, but it would be nice to check your partners profile after partners are assigned for any Strong Dis-likes and Allergies. Let's keep it Fun:) It's Christmas!!

Everything MUST be wrapped for our Partners to open for Christmas :)

Item Examples would include but are not limited to:

Any Small Christmas Craft Supplies

Christmas Ornaments

Small DIY Craft Kit

Tiny Dotee Doll

Embellishments

PLEASE READ!!!

This Swap is for Newbies, but everyone is welcome. You MUST have a WELL FILLED OUT profile with Likes and Dislikes, Wishlist, Etc, BEFORE I assign partners and be signing into Swap-Bot. I feel awful when I have to drop someone, so please be sure your profile meets the requirements.

No "no sends" or late swaps. No one ratings..

Everyone should have their Tote Before Christmas! Everyone will have three weeks to put the tote together, and send it out.

It wouldn't be any fun to receive a Christmas themed bag AFTER the Holiday's. so I don't want anyone to be disappointed with this swap by not receiving :)

PLEASE Rate your Partner when you receive your tote. You can always come back and add a comment after Christmas, if you wish to :)

I am always available for any questions:)
