Description:

There are so many swaps on here for ourselves and occasionally even our partners/husbands etc. and children. But what about our Mums/Mothers? They have raised us, cared for us and loved us all our lives. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could have them receive a parcel of things just for them!

This swap is just for our Mums/Mothers. Each person who signs up will list in the comment section below a list of interests or hobbies that their Mum has (minimum of 5) and their first name(if you don't wish to do this then leave blank). Then when partners are assigned your partner will check what your Mum would like and will pick two things off that list to send. (To go for hearts add more than two things or add something special extra.)

Now, clearly our Mum's addresses are not in swap-bot so when listing your Mums interests/hobbies add whether you want the parcel sent to your Mum's house or via you (for you to pass on). You are welcome to do this either way, your partner will respect your privacy if you choose to not give out your Mothers address. So it can be sent directly to your Mum or care of yourself. Your partner will contact you for your Mum's address if you would like this option otherwise just send to your address which they will have access to. Please do not list your Mum's address in the comment section. Only send via pm when partners have been assigned

I do not want any Mums missing out on their parcel so i am going to impose some strict rules for who can and can't join. No Newbies! Sorry but it is too risky! To join you must have a rating of 5! Anyone else will be banned before i assign partners. I may or may not be able to angel this swap, lets hope i won't need to! I will also ban any suspect swappers even if you seem to have a good rating. This swap is international friendly.

If you think i have left anything out of this swap information feel free to PM me and i will revise and add information if required. Otherwise happy swapping and please don't forget to put your Mum's interests/hobbies in the comment section below!!!!!

My Mom's name is Donna. You can send the package to my address - she lives downstairs... lol.

OK - so after much brain storming I remember a bunch of things she told me she would like (her birthday is coming up in a couple weeks)

  • Books: Biographies and Grilling Cookbooks
  • Jewelry: Necklaces, bracelets, earrings (pierced)
  • Placemats, but they have to be lacey and either white or ivory
  • Potholders or dishtowels with Teapots on them
  • Photo Albums: the 4x6 insert ones, not the magnetic ones.

Well, that's it I think - This swap is AWESOME!! My mom so deserves this... hehehe

Oh I would love to do this, if my mom wasn't already on swapbot. :-P What a great idea!

smokeandmirrors 07/17/2008 #

I was thinking about hosting another swap similar to this but for either our Fathers or best friends perhaps. Maybe i will see how this swap goes and move on from there.

smokeandmirrors 07/17/2008 #

Just wanted to add another suggestion for my Mum. I mentioned that she loves to collect Buddha's. If whoever is posting to her could find a Buddha keyring she would be so very happy. We spent several hours last week walking around stored in my city trying to find her one with no luck!

She also enjoyes doing soduko/sudoku puzzles and loves making rice dishes that are quick and simple.
