Okay so I tried this once before in a group and no-one seemed to want to do it but I thought I'd try it once again here and if it doesn't work here then clearly it wasn't meant to be! ^^

I managed to get permission from @LittleDonnaGirl to do a UK version of this swap- I thought it looked great and I think it'll be a lot of fun. I've edited it slightly but it's very similar to the USA version.

Pick one of the following themes to fill a box with a care package. Try to consult your partner's profile when choosing the items in order to make a box they'll really love.

-Tea Time In A Box

-All Things Crafty In A Box

-Date Night In A Box

-Fandom/s in a box (obviously in this case they need to be fandoms your partner will like)

-Cheer me up Box

-Things to do on a rainy day Box

-Going on an adventure Box

-Profile surprise Box (I know I said the swap was profile anyway but this one can be an assortment of different profile related things and will be more specifically profile related than the others)

I'm recommending that this will be a big swap- send 5-10 things for this care package and make your partner really happy. I'm going to place the price at £5-£10 (although some things will be handmade so it's difficult to place a price- just understand that it's something that should make your partner really happy).

I hope everyone enjoys this- feel free to add any questions/comments or suggestions (including suggestions for more categories) in the comments box or PM me!

Would you consider hosting a European version of this swap?

I was thinking about that too Francesca :)

I hope you have a great turnout for your swap! These are so fun!!!

Hi there, I am hoping you will let me join the swap.. even though I live in the US my husband and daughter will be in the UK in the next couple of weeks and they can take my package with them to mail it from there ! And who ever sends to me I can give them my UK address! (We have a house in East Sussex) I would love to do this one... its right up my alley!! Thank you for considering me! Amy

@FrancescaP and @heartcore1985 I'm so happy for the interest! I am happy to make a European version of this swap however probably in a few weeks since I'm in a lot of time consuming swaps at the moment- however whenever I feel like I have the time I'll make one.

@LittleDonnaGirl thank you for letting me host this!

@Amyteacake Yes as long as your delivery address will be in the UK then that's fine- however I'd probably want you to try and get a few more ratings before the swap deadline for you to take part( type 2 or preferably 3). I know it's hard getting into swaps as a newbie but this is a pretty large one.

Hi Nevermore, Thank you for your reply to my inquiry about joining the swap with my UK address. I have participated in in 5 swaps now but have only been rated so far for two as the others have just finished and I am waiting for two European and South American ratings... Not sure if my swap partners have got their packages yet. I have my package for your swap ready to ship as my husband is leaving for the UK on Monday eve. So hopefully I will have the ratings by the time the deadline comes!! And once I know my partners address he will send it out! I can assure you that I am not one to flake out and I take great care with my choices and my packaging! Let's keep in touch till the deadline and hopefully I will have those ratings! Thank you, Amy

What size does the box have to be? A standard flat-rate box?

Nevermore 07/15/2014 #

Most likely it'll be small parcel sized (£2.60 send I think). If you can get it smaller with things you really think your partner will love then that is fine- the idea is that this is a decent treat and a fully formed care package for them.

Hi Nevermore! I got your message but I am struggling to be able to reply to it as every time I click on the reply button it just sends me back to the message! I can't figure it out! In any case I re-read your rules before my husband left and saw that I would need to know who I am sending to first! Have no fear I can send it from here and it should get there pretty fast! Once we know who we are partners are I can contact the person that is sending to me and give them my UK address... is that ok? Thank you for letting me do this! I am excited to find out who I get to send ! All the best, Amy

Nevermore 07/23/2014 #

Okay all of that is fine! Just wanted to make sure that it is partially profile related and therefore wasn't simply sender's choice!
