Description:

For this swap, you will send 5 goodies to your partner, in no smaller than an A5 envelope.

The idea of a blind surprise is to select and wrap each item individually BEFORE your partner is assigned. For this swap, anything goes...

BUT please only send in the condition you would like to receive.. DO NOT send any dirty or broken items. Items should be as good as new/ new.

Maximum spend: £5 / 5.91 Euros / 7.58 US dollars excluding postage.

This swap is a flake free zone. If you cannot afford to send items to this value, or you do not have the time to, please do not join.

No recent 1s or 3s. I will be checking profiles.

Examples of goodies to send:

  • Small souvenirs from your country
  • Pens
  • Chocolate
  • Snacks
  • Note cards
  • Fridge Magnets
  • Washi Tape
  • Sticker sheets
  • Postcards (4= 1 item)

...The list is endless!!

If you receive something you do not use, save it for another swap. Simple :)

What kinda envelope do we send it in? :O

littlestar714 04/ 3/2013 #

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is an A5 envelope? Is that the standard DVD sized envelope? Or an envelope about half the size of that?

snailmailer1 04/ 3/2013 #

According to the conversion chart I'm looking at, A5 is the same as 148 Γƒβ€” 210mm / 5.83 Γƒβ€” 8.27inches if that helps?

snailmailer1 you always create very good swaps! I will join:)

kittyhahahotbot 04/ 3/2013 #

Hellooooooooo there. Can a newbie join this swap???? Also, where can I find the newbie rules......or are there any....as far as restrictions which swaps a newbie can join and cannot join. Thank You in advance.

snailmailer1 04/ 3/2013 #

Awww thank-you @viza I always like to swap with you :)

@kittyhahahotbot Sure you're welcome to join. Some people do place restrictions on their swaps that omit newbies, but I think everyone deserves a chance. It's usually a good idea to make sure your profile is well filled out e.g. likes/ dislikes and that kind of thing, to give people you swap with an idea of what to send. For this swap, however, that's not necessary because it is a surprise swap and not profile based. I hope this helps :)

littlestar714 04/ 3/2013 #

Oh, ok. So it is about the size of a DVD envelope then, but the dvd envelope is a bit bigger so that is ok to send as long as its not smaller than the A5 envelope, correct?

I have so much stuff to send its not even funny lol. However in the description there is a maximum spending limit of $7.58. Does this mean I cannot go over that amount or add extras?

snailmailer1 04/ 4/2013 #

That's correct. Well, the maximum limit is there as a guide. If you want to spoil your partner, I don't think anyone would have a problem with that.:)

Mine are all wrapped and waiting for their rightful owner :) They wont fit in a tiny CD envelope tho...

snailmailer1 04/ 4/2013 #

Don't worry. Pack them how you see fit. Mine are wrapped and ready to go, too ;)

VanityGirl 04/ 4/2013 #

Are Poly Clay Charms allowed?

snailmailer1 04/ 4/2013 #

Whatever you want to put in, is fine :)

KrackerJaxx 04/ 5/2013 #

I sent my hubby to send my package and since it is going to the UK I have to fill out very specific custom paper work. And the ship rate is $13.00. This is NOT a complaint at all! I just wanted to pass on a bit of info so you could be prepared if it applies to you. Thank you. Anna

@KrackerJaxx ya after the increase on Jan 27th the cost to ship internationally went WAY up! No complaint here either...except to the Postal Service!! LOL

Mine went postal to my Partner in the Netherlands!! <3

snailmailer1 04/ 8/2013 #

On the top right of this page, there is a box that says SWAP MEMBER OPTIONS. The second option is SEE PARTNERS TO SEND TO. Click that option to see your partner :)

snailmailer1 04/11/2013 #

Don't forget peeps, today's the last day to send your goodies off. If, for any reason, you're going to be late, please let your partner know. There are 16 still unsent. Thanks :)

snailmailer1 04/13/2013 #

The deadline has been and gone. Can anyone who is yet marked unsent, please contact me and your partner to let us know where you're up to. Thanks :)

snailmailer1 04/26/2013 #

Just so you know.... I am archiving this swap now. @munchkin is still marked as unsent. I have tried to contact your partner @thedreamer My message to her appears 'read', but she hasn't replied. I have offered to angel this swap, but since you didn't bother returning my message, this offer has now been retracted.
