Description:

No comment at the bottom will have you removed from the swap.


This is just like the title says, you are going to be a not so secret Santa!


Amazon and Etsy are highly encouraged, unless you want to go out and find your partner something local to wrap and send directly


--I don't like having to say this, but I am seeing a lot of 3s and 1s going out lately when they shouldn't be. If you check the side panel - View participant, you can see when your partner says they sent things.-- From there add 8 weeks...YES, 8 weeks. The USPS has admitted to slowing down flat rate mail and upping the costs of packages for the holiday season.


Minimum 20$ gift limit, wrapped / not wrapped is up to you.


Guidelines: This should be a gift!

Not some random things from your stash unless it's unopened/nothing missing item.

Should be something you would love to receive

Should require some thought and be tailored to your partners likes.

Ask your partner questions, look at a wish list, read their profile; find your partner a fun Christmas / Holiday Gift


After my first year hosting this and seeing all the things that I did, I am going to add more steps!


Step One: In the comments below please tell us about you. Your likes/ Dislikes! Favorite things, colors, snacks / candy also please include a Wishlist! Mandatory

This will be checked at the time of assigning, if there is no comment you will be removed.


Step Two: You are going to email / swap message your partner and ask them the following questions:

  • Do you have a wish list on amazon or Esty that you can link me?

    (You can use this as reference or as a actual time to go clean up that wish list and get things on there that you would love to receive. Remember you aren't getting a 100$ gift please don't be greedy and only place things that are high end on your list).

  • What is something that you have been looking at on amazon or Etsy that you just haven't talked yourself into buying?


After these things have been done, you can proceed to finding your partner that perfect gift!

This gift should not be stickers slapped on tags, misc. pieces from your stash that you want to get rid of ETC.

This gift can include stationery that you have never opened! Only if it meets your partners likes. But I must add that if you do this it only counts as a few dollars off your 20$ minimum.


Finally, I shouldn't have to say this; but if you can't afford 20$ gift or 10$ shipping (Total of 30$) Please don't join this exchange.


This is a time for you to be creative and! YOU get a month lead time to get something together and send it just in time for the holidays.


Rate a 5 only after you have opened your package!! as long as you got something worth at least 20$ inside.

Am hoping that there is communication going on here to make this a better year for this exchange.


Remember to include somewhere that this if for Christmas/Holiday Gift Exchange.


--I will be checking profiles to ensure success and fun for everyone.--


Everyone will be checked for location, activity, and ratings.



I can't believe I am having to add this. If I find people are rating "ones" unfairly, 3 months after the swap was sent, are noncommunicative, etc. You will no longer be welcome in my swaps.

Get us started so people can see this is being followed.

If there is no comment you will be removed.

Your likes/ Dislikes! Favorite things, colors, snacks / candy.

My profile has a lot of this,

Dislikes - No strong smells/ means no candles, perfumed items etc. + no tea, no scraps, no strawberries, or onions.

I love the color blue and black

Who doesn't like snacks? and a bit of Candy? My profile has a lot more of this info. I do have wishlist available too.

I am still trying to get my resin crafting up and going so a little addition to this is always welcome. Whether that is a mold, a silicone safety mat, resin safe colored powder, dyes etc.

I should also mention that I have a small collection of clear stamps going and still haven't been able to pick out a mounting / clear blocks to attach them to and use. (I tend to just use the clear stamp and my hand, getting ink all over my fingers).

Please be sure that anything you send is a gift not scraps (can't believe I have to say this).

Hi My name is Katara. I am a Cocker Spaniel mom and LOVE all things dog related. I've tried posting on my swap bot page but the link never attaches correctly. My Amazon Wishlist is: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3P3Q48XA9YTDM?ref=wlshare

I love Starbucks cups, and right now am looking for holiday décor as we just moved into a new home. We are not Christian so not looking for nativity sets or anything like that.

I feel like I have a pretty filled out profile but when in doubt feel free to email me. I put a lot of thought in my packages and feel that as long as you do the same I'll be happy with my gift.

Thank you in advance, Happy Holidays.

Gift cards are very much okay, but if you go that way try to make it fun to open up.

VitaLynne 11/10/2022 #

Hello - my name is Vita Lynné. What an awesome pleasure to meet you. I joined Swap-Bot to meet new people and to have a full mailbox. I will email my partner an etsy and Amazon wish list. Here are a few things I would love: (1) an eclectic collection of postcards. I love holding postcards; looking at postcards in intricate detail, reading the information on the back of the postcards, everything about postcards. (2) postage stamps - an eclectic collection of unused postage stamps would rock my world. Rather than one sheet of the same unused postage stamp, the post office will let you buy some single or double or 3 or 4. I would love to receive a cool collection of postage stamps; (3) Sakura Micron Pigma Ink Pen (0.3 mm only). Wishing you a wonderful holiday season. Warmly, Vita Lynné
