Description:

For this swap you will be assigned one partner. You will write a letter to partner about what you would do if you were stuck on a island for a week. Write out a day by day plan. This can be three sentence about each day, or you can write a whole paragraph about each day. However I would like to see no less than three sentence about each day. This can be hand written or typed.

Once you have completed you letter you will place it in a bottle. So examples of bottle to use:

  • Empty and clean soda bottles (coke bottles are a nice shape)

  • A store bought sand art bottle

(the use of plastic bottle will be safer, and a little cheaper to mail, How ever if you have a glass bottle and do not fear it be broken it can be mailed.)

After you have the letter in the bottle place one small item in the bottle as a surprise for your partner. This does not have to be profile based, but a quick look at their profile could make it extra special to them.

Once everything is in the bottle make sure to adhere the cap securely. I would suggest hot gluing the cap on. One you partner receive their bottle they can cut it open to read what is inside.

TWIST: This is be mailed naked you can place to labels on it to adhere addresses, and the stamps can be places on it. However if for some weird reason you post office will not mail it unless it is in a package you may send it that way. However I do ask that you send a message to your partner telling this the post office was no fun, and ruined your fun, so they know not to rate down based on that. With that said if you receive a bottle in a package, and a message from your partner, there is no rating down based on that. Thanks.

RECAP: You will have 1 partner, you write a letter to. Place it in a bottle with a surprise, and securely adhere the cap. Mail naked.

Most of all have fun.
