Description:

I was inspired by the 'Get me through winter!' international swap posted by Fever. However, it was too expensive a swap for me, and I felt left out because I thought it sounded fun and cozy, so thought maybe some others were feeling the same way ...

Here is my version a Warm Me Up Winter Swap!!! :)

For this swap, you will send to one swap partner:

--A brand new scarf/hat set or glove/hat or glove/scarf set (ie must include 2 of the folowing: gloves, hat, or scarf, and should match. Mittens are ok too.) MUST BE BRAND NEW but CAN BE HANDMADE provided that you do high quality knit or crochet work (no sewing), and it is a finished item you are proud of that you made FOR THIS SWAP, not something you already had on hand. (Unsure, ASK!!!!)

--One FULL box/container (not a single serving) of a hot drink for winter (hot chocolate, hot apple cider, box of tea bags, flavored coffee drink.) The more wintery you can find, the better.

--One tasty chocolate treat, single serving. (Ie a candy bar/small pack of choc covered fruits, etc.) Sender's choice, but do read profile/comments for allergies and preferences for HEARTS ... Sender's choice. Don't get mad if someone misses this, because life's too short. It would just be a nice extra if they took the time.

--Something to read. Used or new novel, magazine, book of poems, biography. Anything YOU HAVE READ yourself and enjoyed. No random thing you grabbed last minute, please. Something with thought put into it. BONUS/HEARTS, explain why you liked it and chose to send. Sender's choice.

Value of swap before shipping = $10+ ... The most expensive thing will be the knits for cozy winter warmth. If you are making, you will spend that much on yarn anyway. Please be fair/considerate. This is to be fun!!!!! Nothing used!!!!

Any questions PLEASE ASK.

Rate 4.9, NO FLAKERS ... I can't angel this one, I'm sorry. I will try to monitor those who join as best I can.

I've been waiting for a swap like this! Will watch for now. Hopefully my budget will let me join in a few weeks!

@lovetherain Awesome, hopefully you can join. I def wanted to leave it for next month for budgeting reasons too ... Christmas is expensive, but once it's over, sometimes we get the blues, because winter is far from over!

This will cost way more than $10!! The first item is worth at least that!

FeltPrincess 12/22/2015 #

@thebragal that entirely depends on where you shop. I don't want to see dollar store crap, but sometimes you can get nice things on sale for a lot less than you'd think, especially right after Christmas. And that's why I said $10+ ... That means you OUGHT to spend AT LEAST $10. It doesn't mean that it will only cost you $10.

Quick Question Is thescarf/hat set or glove/hat or glove/scarf set senders choice? I want to get a jump on this while I STILL see so many cute items on winter sale. Thanks much
