Description:

I'm excited to announce that our group will be ONE WHOLE YEAR OLD on the 18th!
In celebration, let's make and grant some "birthday" wishes!

If you'd like to participate, here's how to celebrate:

  1. join this swap!
  2. post a list of 10 wishes below so that your partner has a variety of things to choose from and your "birthday present" can be a bit of a surprise.
  3. once swap partners have been assigned, put together a birthday gift package for your partner made up of things on her/his wishlist. Aim for around $7-$10 worth of goodies for your swap partner's gift. Wrapping your gift is not required, but would be an extra-special touch.

BONUS!

If you see wishes on participants' lists that you would like to grant as a surprise (from tiny to tremendous), please PM me once partners have been assigned, and I'll PM you her/his address so that you can grant bonus wishes! This is NOT a requirement of the swap, but is very fulfilling if you'd like to give it a go.

This means that if you're participating in this swap, you agree that I can share your address with (and only with) other participants of this swap, and you might get extra bonus PBS birthday surprises. :)

If you do happen to receive any bonus wishes, please send a "thank you" PM or post a "thank you" message on the wall of your gracious wish-granter's profile!

We'll have a whole month to put together fantastic gifts for our partners.

Thank you for a fantastically delightful year. Here's to many more!
♥Phillaine

As always, feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns. :)
