Jan Pick 3 Kawaii Swap Int'l

This is a nice easy swap that I would like to make monthly :)

Each of you will have one partner and you will pick 3 different items from the following list to send to them. This is senders choice, so you can pick and package your swap before the partners have even been assigned.

Due to the nature of this swap, it is not necessary to follow the strict rules regarding Japanese Kawaii brands. If you wish to send all Kawaii branded items then that is ok, but be aware that you may receive some items that are not 'true' Kawaii brands.

There are lots of Japanese and Korean products out there which are adorable and definitely kawaii/cute, even Paperchase have some great kawaii lines now, but these often don't make the cut because they are not considered 'true' kawaii brands. This swap aims to include those too. It is not an opportunity to offload fake and poor quality goods in return for genuine kawaii items.

Do not send any cheap, fake Kawaii brands. If you are going to send Hello Kitty for example, please send Sanrio, not a cheap knock-off version!

If it is 'cute' then it fits the swap description. Think food with faces, candy coloured skull prints and adorable animal designs. If you have any doubts, please contact me and I will guide you.

If you send something that is fake or poor quality you can and likely will be marked down by your partner. Only send what you would like to receive :)

Please do not send items with 'mainstream' characters e.g. Disney, Didl, Spongebob Square Pants, Angry Birds etc.

Here is the list:
- 1 Unfolded Letter Set (2 sheets of writing paper plus matching envelope)
- 2 Unfolded Mini Letter Sets
- 10 Large Memosheets
- 15 Mini Memosheets
- 1 Whole Sticker Sheet (An uncut sheet with a minimum of 15 stickers)
- 15 Sticker Flakes
- 5 Address Labels
- 3 Washi Tape Samples (please see rules below)
- 1 Post-it/Sticky Note Pad
- 1 Pad of Page Flags (like sticky notes but thinner)
- 1 Postcard
- 1 Notecard with Envelope
- 1 Kawaii style/theme ATC

All items are to be unused and store bought, with the exception of the ATC which will be hand crafted. Usual ATC rules apply here, no sticker slapping please!

Washi tape samples are to be character themed or with a cute pattern, not just a plain block colour. Each sample must be at least 30cm/12 inches long. Each sample should be wound carefully around a smooth shiny surface wuthout creases in order that they reach your partner safe and sound and nice and sticky.

When sending memosheets and letter sets, enclose a piece of thick cardstock or cardboard the same size as your largest sheet or bigger. This prevents bending and creasing of the pages.

If sending sticker flakes, please enclose them in a small envelope or baggie so they don't get damaged in transit.

If you do not package your items appropriately and they arrived damaged you may be marked down by your partner, so please take care and package everything safely.

Rating requirement is 4.95 with no recent 1's or 3's. I reserve the right to ban participants that do not sign in regularly or have late or unsent swaps at the time of partner assignment.

Please be fair, don't flake and mostly have fun! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

p.s If you have suggestions for a flat-ish item that you'd like to have included on the list, please message me and I'll get back to you :)
