Boo Box is back! I've made a few changes, so please read carefully - I want everyone to be delighted with what they are getting with these swaps!

Are you familiar with those monthly gift subscriptions where you get a fun package each month filled with all kinds of wonderful, fun things? Well, Boo Box is going to be a monthly swap! You may sign up for all or just one or a few!

For this swap, you will take a nice, sturdy box that is either hinged or has a removable lid and you will decorate it completely, outside and inside. The box should be at least 4" x 6" x 1" and really shouldn't be bigger than 7' x 10" x 3". The box can be cardboard or wood. Predecorated Halloween gift boxes are acceptable as well.

You will then fill it with at least 6 small Halloween gifts that will delight your swap partner. Make sure you fill the box completely, and wrap any breakables. Present your items nicely, maybe dividers or wrap each item in some tissue. Most of the items should be profile specific, do not send anything from your partners dislikes.

The items can be jewelry, nice brand new craft items that are not paper, small collectables, plush, accessories, costume items, home decor, etc. One of the items can be something really well hand made that is not made of paper. You may also include one item of wrap candy (be sure to check your partner's profile for allergies)

What you should NOT send is - Washi tape samples, glitter, scraps of paper, any magazine cutouts or die cuts, foam shapes, kids toys, make-up (due to the heat and possible melting) same for chocolate, atcs or anything that your partner does not want. However if any of these items are in your partners wish lists, please feel free to send them only then. This is not a craft supply destash.

I will be running this swap each month, so if you miss this one, there will be one next month.

As always, for members in good standing only

I will always angel any swap that I host in this group. I hope that this will not be needed, but I just wanted all of you to feel comfortable swapping something of this value.

If I had to place a dollar amount on what you should send, not including postage and packaging, I would say between $12 - $20.

Hi! Will the box swaps vary from month to month or are they always the same? Also, do you angel your swaps? I hate to even ask this because of course we never want to think we might get stiffed on a swap. Last year I signed up for a big Halloween box swap (different group) and I was flaked on by the swap partner as well as the host. It's made me a little bit leery about big swaps I guess. =(

Hi ChinaCat, So sorry I didn't mention it in the swap description, but I will always angel for any one of my swaps in this group. I think only once did we have someone flake and someone else did angel it on my behalf, but rest assured, no one will go without a swap. I think at this point, there is no one in this group that would ever do that, and if they did, they are immediately out!

Please note that I have made one change in the description that you may make one of the items a handmade one that is NOT made of paper. Thank you.

Thanks much! I angeled the Halloween stocking swap last year. Keep me in mind if you ever do need someone to help out. I always have a pretty decent stash of Halloween items on hand. =) Are your box swaps going to vary or all be the same?

ChinaCat, for July - September, they will be the same but you could always theme them for your partner if you want to. Octobers will be the ultimate boo box, which will be shoe box sized with a high value on what goes inside.

I've been watching this one but have decided to wait until the next one or maybe the one after that. Too much going on in July to do this swap justice. I love these box swaps though - looking forward to more of them!
