Description: | |
This is an international swap. Must have minimum 5 successful mail swaps. No recent or unexplained no sends. Many of us are receiving lots of great mail every day and our poor men are left out. They feel sad. :-( But they are too manly to join a SWAP, right? That's for giiiiiiirrrrllllssss. So for this swap, you will have 2 partners and you will send each of those partners a package for THE MAN in her life, addressed to said man, and including things he will like, for him. (If you are single, feel free to join up with a man you love in mind who has some other role in your life.) When you sign up, please leave a comment with your man's name (who to address the package to), and a detailed message with his likes and dislikes. These should be GENERALLY AVAILABLE items. I had someone whose boyfriend only liked things I had never heard of and cannot buy in a US store. It was really really hard. Keep in mind this is an international swap so give your partner lots of ideas. NO: My husband only likes BMWs, [weird candy only available in China], and Wii games. YES: My husband is really into cars and he likes fishing. He doesn't eat chocolate but he likes interesting salty snacks. His favorite color is blue. I will not put a dollar value on the swap, since we are mailing internationally and that can be very expensive. I will say, a minimum of 3-4 items is good, more if you are mailing inside your own country. I was in one of these last year and it was soooo awesome! You should have seen his face when I told him "This is addressed to you" and the box was from ENGLAND! And all the stuff in it was so perfect for him -- he loved it all! Friends were over and everyone crowded around to see what he got -- it was like CHRISTMAS! He just kept saying, "How did this woman know what to get me???" like he just couldn't believe it! And then I told him he had another package coming too! Totally awesome and let's face it -- we love them and want them to be happy, right? PM if you have any questions. (If you and your hunny don't live together, the package may be addressed to you, with ATTN: [his first name] on it. When you get the package, you'll know not to open it, and to keep it for him.) PS. It would be nice if you could message your partner when the package has been opened and let her know of his reaction to receiving it and what he got. That's the best part! |
