12 days of Christmas

Every year I enjoy making advent calendars for my children and they look forward to opening their gifts each day. Wouldn't it be fun to join our children in having a surprise to open during Advent?

Wrap 12 different gifts for your partner and label the gifts from 1 - 12 in the order that you would like them to be opened. Usually, the last gift to be opened is a bit of a bigger gift. Sending Christmas themed items is not necessary, but if you do, try and have them be opened first so they are still enjoyed during the season.

Up to 6 of the gifts can be homemade but homemade gifts are not required. If you do send a homemade gift, make sure it's something you would like to receive.

The minimum to be spent on this swap is $15, before wrapping and shipping.

Some ideas to gift are:

• Socks
• Scarf
• Candle
• Mug
• Stationary
• Unused postage
• Washi tape
• Pens
• Face Mask
• Lip gloss
• Sticker packs
• Crafting supplies

Study your partner's profile and try to make an Advent Calendar that is tailored to them. The more filled out your profile is, the easier your partner will be able to customize your gifts.

Once your gifts are all wrapped, add a Christmas card from you that has your swap-bot ID and the swap name written in it.

To join, you must have a rating of 4.95 or better with no unexplained 1's or 3's. I will be checking profiles and reserve the right to ban if I encounter something that concerns me.
