Description:

Welcome parents! Do you have a child, or children, who love to receive gifts and little things in the mail? I know my son loves to check the mail and get something. He even loves opening any junk mail we receive. It's time to use Swap-Bot for the children!

For this swap, you will have one partner from the USA. Make sure you have something on your profile about your kid(s) or leave a comment here about them. State their name, age, gender, and a few of their likes (and any allergies they may have).

When partners are assigned, go to your partner's profile (or their comment here) and take note of the information they provide about their child. Then go to a store and buy their kid(s) something nice! The price minimum of this swap is $5.00 but you can spend more if you want. Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target, any store is fine! You can choose to purchase toys, stickers, clothing, whatever the child will probably like based on your partner's information they provided. Keep in mind the age, as some items are not suitable for children under a certain age (it will say so on the package when you buy it).

Before you send the item(s), wrap it up nicely! You can do this with wrapping paper, a gift bag, or whatever you want. It can be store-bought or handmade (the wrapping, not the item - see next paragraph regarding handmade items). Then put it in a box (or suitable envelope) and send away!

As for handmade items - they are allowed but must be valued at a $5 minimum re-sale value (if the item were purchased on a website like Etsy, would it be listed at $5 before shipping?). Once again, keep in mind the age of the child.

Please note, the minimum value of the item is $5, before wrappings and postage.

Recap and Requirements

  • 1 USA partner, you're sending a $5 gift to their child (or children).

  • Item(s) must be new. No goodwill, salvation army, or thrift store.

  • You must wrap your gift (gift wrap or gift bag).

  • You must post a comment here OR have a section about your child on your profile so your partner will have a starting point when shopping for your child.

  • You can send one $5 item or many items for a total value of at least $5. If you spend more, that's wonderful but it is not required.

  • Delivery confirmation is optional, but recommended.

  • Ratings of 4.99 and above only. No unrated swappers. A minimum of 10 type-2 or type-3 swaps completed. No 1's or 3's in the last 3 months.

  • Any questions, please PM me.
