Description:

I just started a more complicated swap on this theme for USA only. I just can't afford to mail a big package overseas!

But then I felt bad. All the poor international swappers, so left out, so discriminated against. Oh the humanity! (sob!)

(And frankly, I like getting stuff from overseas.)

So! This swap is for NON USA people only...except of course for me, since I am in the USA. But everybody else won't be -- make sense?

My intent here is to make this as light a package as possible to send, because I am postage poor.

You will get 2 partners and for each you will send items from each category. Please check your partner's profile and send them something they would like!

  1. Something to mail -- TWO.

This could include postcards from your local area or country, notecards, stationary, etc. Two of whatever. They do not have to be two of the same item.

  1. Something yummy.

Yummy means tasty, delicious. A packet of tea, a candy bar, a local treat. Check the profile for what they like.

  1. Something in their favorite color(s).

This can be anything. It can even be a notecard or a bookmark, a packet of tea or some candy with that color label, whatever they have in their profile they enjoy. Maybe they like stickers or fabric or yarn or something.

The point here is to find things locally, in your country or town or region, that will fit your partners' likes.

Please consider leaving a comment here with ideas of what you might enjoy in these 3 categories!

Also include a note from you indicating what item is for what category. Okay?

There is no dollar amount here -- be creative. Fun!

Do you have a similar swap that would include people in the U.S. who would like to send to and receive from someone in another country?

I would love to swap with someone from another country. My favorite color is pink. I love cute notecards and stationery-a postcard would be cool too. I also have a sweet tooth :)

I'm not sure why you are banning people from the U.S. on this one since your are from the U.S.? That seems pretty lame.

Luckyroni 12/22/2008 #

She's not banning USA people, she is opening it up to all countries-international.

Luckyroni 12/22/2008 #

oh, nevermind. I read it wrong.

Nicole, if you find this or any swap "lame", feel free to NOT join. Thank you.

I am hosting a US only swap, and if you are in the US you are welcome to join. Then I felt badly for excluding international swappers, so I made a smaller version of it for international swappers. Two swaps is all I can afford right now, but anyone who cares to is welcome to start their own swap on a similar theme.

I think it's neat idea...

My favorite color is kelly green but I also love blue, yellow, cherry red etc...

Plenty of ideas for the other categories on my profile I think :) especially crazy about chocolate , tea, lighthouse postcards and anything from other countries.

Thanks for hosting this swap!

  • Something to mail

I love love love getting picture postcards of where you live or have been, with the name of the place on them. Especially from places I have never been! I also like nature themed notcards.

  • Something yummy. I love chocolate, especially chocolate I can't get here. Also love flavored hot chocolate and fruity herbal teas. I like all kinds of interesting candy.

  • Something in their favorite color(s). I love weathered blue gray (here called Yankee blue, like a denim color) and light yellow. I also enjoy greens, taupe (which is a tan/grey color) and purples.

My Fav colours are pink and black

  • I love any kind of stationary-postcards, notecards, lettersets, although I prefer nothing too girly or cartoony BUT I really like kawaii stuff. I know, oxymoron....

*I love anything yummy, but I'm allergic to nuts. However, I can always pass it along to the roomie or the boyfriend.

*I like many many colours. Purple, green and black being up there but also reds and blues and white
