Description:

I love thrifting! I love the cool little finds I see and looking at an item and instantly thinking about how thats perfect for someone I know!

This swap is US ONLY to save money on postage. Anyone can make an international version of this swap if they want.

For this swap you will have to go to a thrift shop! Look at your partners profile and see what they like and dislike then venture out into your local thrift shop and try to find something you think they would like! Package it accordingly (if breakable use bubble envelope and wrap it in bubble wrap) and send it out to your partner. Price range will be from $5-$10. It can be multiple items that add up to $5-$10. You can spend more if you find the perfect item to send but do not expect something huge from your partner. Stay in your personal budget! Make sure to add a note with the swap name and your user in your package.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYTHING GROSS. DO NOT BUY IF ITS DIRTY AND NOT CLEANABLE. Try not to send anything dangerous or breakable (a small porcelain figure could be okay if packaged securely but PLEASE avoid something made of glass or mirror)

You have a week to go out and buy something and send it from Sunday Sep 29th when partners are assigned to Sunday Oct 6th.

Examples of safe things your can find and send in a thrift shop: - kids toys - postcard books/letter sets - stamps/stationary - a t-shirt - figures - CDs/VHS/Cassettes - a book - charms/pins - jewelry

TL;DR: (well first of all please read everything). Read your partners profile and determine their likes and dislikes and what would make them happy to receive. Go to a thrift shop and look around trying to find something you think they would enjoy ($5-$10 range but you are welcome to spend more, it can be multiple items that add up to $5-$10). Purchase item and package safely then send off to your partner. Once you receive your item rate that partner.

You must have at least 10 type 2 swaps completed AND a well filled out profile (like REALLY well filled out). If you join and do not fit these requirements I will remove you. NO: 1's or 3's in the past 12 months, tendency to send out late, suspicious profiles.

If you received a package please rate a 5. If you did not receive anything I will angel once you rate your partner appropriately.
