Description:

You will have ONE partner. You are to send 25 wrapped items. These items will be Scrapbook supplies and Craft supplies related items. Each item must be at least $1.00 value making the total value of $25.00 for 25 items. You can certainly go over that amount if you wish to do so. Shipping cost is extra. Each item must be store bought unopened packaged item.. NO handmade items except for the Christmas card (not part of 25 items) that you'd like to add, but that can be store bought, too. You are to number each wrapped item starting from #1, #2, #3, etc. The reason there 25 wrapped gifts is because starting on December 1st, #1 wrapped gift will be open, December 2nd, #2 wrapped gift will be open, etc. #25 is the best gift to open since that will be on Christmas day.

This swap is profile based. After all, you want your swap partner to like the items that they open, right? With that being said, profiles MUST have a "likes" or "wish list". This swap is for scrapbooking supplies and crafting supplies related items. When mailing your items, please use a USPS Priority Mail PADDED flat rate envelope which includes delivery confirmation, but you can certainly go larger.

*** PLEASE NOTE: Not all Post Office carries the USPS Priority Mail padded flat rate envelope which measures: 9 1/2 x 12 1/2. You may have to order it online at usps.com website, it is free to order these envelopes and ships to your home for free, but it will cost approximately $5.95 (unless price has changed) to mail out. Effective 9/7/14 price to ship as changed to $6.10. Once you order the Padded envelopes online, it can take a couple of days to a few weeks to ship to your home, so please plan accordingly. ***

Again, it must be the PADDED flat rate envelope, NOT the regular flat rate envelope.

Re-cap on Guidelines (requirements) to follow:

USA only ONE partner Profile base 25 wrapped gifts, label as #1, #2, #3 etc Store bought items. No handmade. Value of EACH item is $1.00 or more, up to $25.00 for 25 items total, but you can go over, it's up to you. Must use USPS Priority Padded flat rate envelope (includes delivery confirmation), but you can go larger if need be which cost more. Must mail items by Monday, November 24, 2014. Delivery can take up to 3 days or so which should be enough time to open their first wrapped gift on December 1, 2014. Remember, Thanksgiving is that week and the Post Office is closed, so there might be an added day or so for delivery. IMPORTANT: Hang on to your receipt or Write down Delivery Confirmation number. Then PM (private message) your swap partner of the delivery confirmation number. Rating is 4.99 and above. NO 1s or 3s in 2014. Must be active in Swap Bot. Must have at least 30 Type 3 swaps completed. I will ban swappers if I find things questionable on their profile and/or don't have a "likes" or "wish list" on their profile before the last signup date which is November 4, 2014. I will NOT be able to angel. Please don't be a Scrooge and flake out or you'll be in Santa's Naughty List - that's not cool. This swap is a huge commitment. If you feel you cannot agree to the terms, then this swap is not for you. If you say NO or don't meet the requirements to any of the guidelines I've mentioned, then this is not the swap for you. If you do meet the requirements and want to join this swap....let's try to have fun in this swap. I created a swap like this last year and it was a lot of fun !!!!

I signed up for something similar to this swap last year from another group and it was a lot of fun. I honestly did open each numbered wrapped gift on each day which felt like Christmas every day.

Would love to see a Canadian or international version of this!

So a padded mailer right? Halfway through you say a medium flat rate box. they cost 12 bucks to ship. I would like to join but I think a medium flat rate box is too big and takes too much to ship with the 25 soending limit. I will do the padded mailer or a small flat rate box. But medium is too much for me.

Gummi Bear - I corrected it to say "USPS Priority Padded flat rate envelope". It must be the "padded" one NOT the small flat rate box which I think is to small. Thanks for catching that.

Angie1974 - Due to Postage costs, I only participate in US swaps. Feel free to create a Canadian or International version if you want.

I'm sorry.. I just reread this and I don't qualify because I don't have atleast 30 Type 3's. If things change, I would LOVE to do this swap.

Effective 9/7/14 - the USPS flat rate padded envelope new price is $6.10. The old price was $5.95.

For important swaps like this, I have to go out of town to shop. All we have is a Walmart. On limited funds (retired) I can't just go at the drop of a hat. I'm afraid that is not enough time between sign-up and send-by dates. Profile based, which is great, just really makes me nervous in that time frame. Good luck everyone. Have fun. I would love to join you.

Hi im a newbie ive completed and send one swap amd will be mailing 3 more out Monday or Tuesday all will have been sent before the deadline and i followed the rules and even went above and sent extras , bonus embellishments (items their profile stated they liked) made cards etc.Ratings are important to me as i truly hope to be a member of swapbot for a long time to come and be able to host some great swaps to fit my craft hobbies and likes and hope many will have the same likes.I so love this swap idea so im wondering if anyone would like to do this swap one on one w ith me.please message me .I will galdly send yours first to in sure you that I have not flaked on you as i know this swap c an be costly for someone to get flaked on and would not wa nt to be flaked on either and I will put as much effort into this as anyone would and look at read your profile and if you anything you would not like or would like please let me.know as i want you to truly like and have use for all 25 items and them bring a smile to your and my face.With that said please don't offer to one on one swap with me if you flaked in the past, have bad ratings or unresolved swapping issues as i dont want to mail your items first (as i understand being new you nothing but my word to judge) if you are Untrustworthy and get flaked on with a swap that is on the expensive side as i want to get and give great ratings and hearts are great to get and give .I also promise to rate fair and send by the due date as i know me mailing first then getting your yours would take a little extra time and if you choose to wait till Christmas to open i want to insure we both have the items in time .Thanks in advance and please give a newbie a chance I am still working on my profile but do have some things on there but as I read others I finding other things I'd like to add or change so I will def have more things on there to help my partner in a swap such as this thank again and hope to find some one to swap with .Thia is a great swap idea by next xmas I will definitely join!
