Description:

We all know and love scavenger hunts but sometimes the categories the swap co-ordinator picks leads to items that we perhaps don't want so this swap is something slightly different.

Each participant will list 10 swap categories in the comment section below for things that they would like to receive. These categories should be general enough that your partner can 'scavenge' for something within the category. Examples are: Something blue, something that smells nice, something to drink, something for a tea party etc. etc. The possibilities are quite endless. The 10 categories should be things you are interested in receiving. Please do not make them too specific, they are meant to be open ideas.

When partners are assigned your partner will check the 10 categories that you have listed in the comment section and find one item for 5 of the categories. You can send more if you'd like but the minimum is 5. Be creative, checking your partners profile as well could help you put together a lovely swap.

Please include a list of which item is for which category. Do not send any second hand, damaged, broken items. Do not send any items that you would not be happy to receive yourself. Hand made items are acceptable but this does depend on what categories your partner selects.

No newbies for this swap please but any other group members are welcomed. You must have listed your 10 categories before sign up otherwise i will ban you.

Have fun and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

I posted my parcel to Lauren - containing lots of lime green papers, sticker bits, glittery things etc., and I'm not sure if it has arrived - I have message Lauren a couple of times, and not heard back. Is Lauren ok?? Does anyone know. I would like to be rated for this swap. I posted on the 12th of February.
