Description:

I propose we do a swap for our Child/Children. I know that my 4 year old son is always asking if a package is for him and would be so excited to receive a package in the mail that is all for him. As well as this he would love to help shopping for another child in the world somewhere.

So lets get our children to swap. You will need to send a package with a minimum value of $15.00 (before postage) You can add in hand made items if you wish but it is important that the package is really tailored to your child partner. Try and get your child to participate by helping shop, drawing a picture or writing a letter to their partner.

You should leave details in the comments of your childs age, sex and likes etc. If there are no comments for your partner you will need to email them to find out more information. I suggest you give details of favourite colours, animal, themes, hobbies, treats etc.

I am limiting this to people with a rating of 5 as I have been burned this week and can think of nothing more horrible that a child missing out after all the excitement. (new swappers can participate but only if your genuine with a full profile!)

This is an international swap so be aware you may have to post overseas.

Lets make this a lot of fun!!

I think a 5.0 would be even better this swap since it involves kids!

My daughter is 2 1/2. Her name is Ava. She loves Elmo, Finding Nemo and Princesses! She LOVES tiaras and dressing up so any kind of play dress up stuff from Dollar Store would be cool!

imyorehuckleberry 02/16/2007 #

Hello, This is such a GREAT idea! I definitely agree with the rating of at least a 4.7 if not a 5. My son started a swap a while ago and got flaked on. He was very bummed! Anyway, I am signing up for my daughter who is named Earendil and is going to be 4 on Sunday. She loves princess stuff, my little ponies, strawberry shortcake, care bears, coloring (she spends hours drawing & coloring) and really anything really girly. My sister is going to sign up for my son (so that neither is left out) =) Happy Swapping!

user4914 02/16/2007 #

I agree girls and am changing it to 5!! I think if someone I was posting to didn't receive their swap parcel I would send another so there is really not many excused for getting ratings of 1. If there is anyone out there with a genuine reason for a lower than 5 rating and wants to join please contact me.

Hello, I am actually signing up for my nephew named Aidan who is 5 and asks everyday when the mail comes "Did something come for me?" =) He is "Imyorenuckleberry's son" (see above). He is really into pirates, Thomas the Train, playmobile, hot wheels, anything from the cars movie and sports of all kinds. My sister and I live together so if you put Aidan Boehm on the address label it will get to him. I hope everyone enjoys the swap!

user4914 02/16/2007 #

My Boy turned 4 years old yesterday and his name is Zak. His favoirite colour is yellow and he loves all things trains (especially Thomas) and cars (especially Cars movie). He loves to draw so any art/craft supplies would also be fabulous. He loves Dogs, Cats and Fish and would always like a sweet treat. If you want to know anything more just email me! =)

She has a brother who's 3 this year, and it would be great if you could include something in for him as well. He loves dinosaurs and cars. However, it's not necessary :)

Cool - my poor son always feels neglected at the mailbox ;) so I'm signing him up on the sly for this one.

He's (almost) 10 - another drummer, too! James likes cannndy - sour stuff, PEZ, Jolly Ranchers - Anything with his name on it: pencils, stickers, magnets, etc - Fave characters are Darth Vader, Spongebob, "Zach & Cody", The Simpsons - He likes playing with Matchbox cars, the small GI Joe type action figures, of course video games. His fave color used to be yellow but I'll have to doublecheck on that one :D My partner can email or message later with any questions, too.

Look forward to doing this one, I'll have him help me pick & pack our swappee's stuff but just won't tell him he's getting one in return ;)

Hi monstermansmun05,

I received your package on saturday and Alexandre opened it yesterday when he cames back from his baksetball tournament.

He's was so happy with all the things that you sent. Since Alexandre is talking french, it's was funny to see him search in the dictionnary to read your card.

Thank you so much from him and me.

That's great:) I'm really glad he liked it:D
