Twelve Days of Christmas Stuffed Handbag Swap

Due to issues that have arrived in the forums, I have decided to change this to a private swap. If anyone wants to invite someone, please feel free to, and I will PM them the password.

For this swap, you will fill a NEW store-bought or hand-made totebag, handbag, or purse. The size is completely up to you, as long as it fits ALL of your twelve gift items inside it! Each of the twelve items inside the purse should be wrapped in holiday paper!

The items in the purse will be sender’s choice, but please check your partner’s profile, and try to customize what you send based on their likes and interests. If you have any allergies, or special requests, please post them below in the comments, so partners know what to avoid in your purse.

You will send one partner one NEW handbag or purse (hand-made or store-bought) stuffed with 12 WRAPPED gifts. Below are some suggestions of what could go in the bag - please feel free to put in anything you wish you feel your partner may like. :-) Also, if you have any allergies or don't like something specified in the suggestions, please leave a comment so your partner will know. :-)

Suggested Gifts (Pick 12):

1. New Lipgloss or Lipstick
2. A jewelry item (hand-made or store-bought)
3. Chapstick
4. Perfume or body spray
5. A datebook and a pen
6. A Mirror
7. Hand Lotion
8. Hand Sanitizer
9. A wallet or change purse (hand-made or store-bought)
10. A pack of tissues
11. A sweet edible (chocolate, hard candy, etc).
12. A scarf
13. Mittens
14. A tea wallet with tea inside
15. A stationary set
16. 3 or 4 Postage Stamps
17. Cocoa Mix
18. Gum or Breath Mints
19. Tic-Tacs
20. A profile surprise

If you're feeling in the holiday spirit, feel free to throw in a bonus suprise item. :-)

Don't Forget: To include a holiday card (NO religous preaching, please!) and to wrap all twelve items inside the bag! Not doing this could change your rating from a 5 to a 3!

The tote bag, purse, or handbag should have a value of around $10. The items inside should be worth between $1 and $2 each, minimum. You may find some items that will cost less (chapstick, lipgloss, etc), and some will cost more (jewelry), but spend what you feel is reasonable... For most of these items (I think almost all with the exception of the jewelry) you could find a decent selection at the Dollar Store. This doesn't have to be high-end - don't break the bank. That being said, you should expect your package to have a value of a minimum of $22 BEFORE shipping!

NOTE: You have a month to shop and send your package, so please put together a nice package. Have fun, and remember: "The package you send should be one YOU would want to receive!"
