Description:

This is a quickie swap designed to bring make your partner feel nice and enjoy a little "pick me up" gift! It's nice out, it's mothers day, you had a nice weekend - all great reasons to give and receive a little surprise!

You will have one partner and send 2 items from the following list. Packaging is nice but not needed, a little notecard or sticky is also nice but not required. Think of getting a small surprise in the mail that makes you feel just a bit more special! But please remember that packaging and notes = hearts when ya rate your sender and we can finally determine which is better - to give or to receive!:)

This is for experienced, rated (4.7 or better and no more than 1 no send) swappers only. International players welcome IF you can make the mailing deadline - I only gave a two day turnaround on this swap.

Total dollar value of items should be in the $2-$4 range and should fit into a small envy for $0.39 to $.63 postage, assuming you mail by May 14th! Questions, message me!

If you have a particular allergy or strong preference NOT to receive a type of item, pls post. Senders may want to touch base with their partners to see if there is anything on the list they don't want to get.

List of recommended items (all must be new and unused, your choice of store bought or handmade):

  • 1 lipgloss/balm
  • 2 perfume samples
  • 1 bar of interesting soap
  • 1 bath bomb, fizzy, flakes or small container of bubbles
  • 1 small bath gel or wash
  • 1 set of earrings
  • 1 pin
  • 1 bracelet
  • 1 pendant
  • 2 blank notecards + envies
  • 1 hair scrunchie
  • 1 cute new memo or sticky pad
  • 2 flavored tea bags
  • 1 pack of gum
  • 1 tin of mints
  • 1 packet of interesting hard candies
  • 1 scented sachet
  • 1 scented small candle
  • 1 room spray
  • 1 small hand lotion
  • 1 interesting refridgerator magnet
  • 1 nail polish

Enjoy!

Is it international???

Jox 05/ 6/2007 #

I love these types of swaps.

OrigamiGrace 05/ 6/2007 #

I made it international if you can make the two day mailing turnaround! Hope you will consider it, beegirl!

beegirl 05/ 7/2007 #

I am DEFINETLY in!!!! I loved the idea of this swap... :) Hoe my partner doesn't care if the shipping will take a little bit longer...thanks, origami grace! :D

OrigamiGrace 05/ 7/2007 #

I always email all participants and remind them that since the swap is international to be patient and to contact me if a package is late so I can put them in touch with their senders. So far, so good:)

this should be fun...I've had small packages sent from Australia, arrive in USA in 5 days!!

beegirl 05/ 7/2007 #

Whoever gets me as a partner, please no "bath bomb, fizzy, flakes or small container of bubbles" due to lack of a bath tub.

Hey is there any chance it could be moved to 11th where partners are assigned? Even if it means keeping the turnaround and making it end on the 13th. Just because the 11th is a Saturday and in timezones, I won't find out my partners until the earliest of 5am on Sunday morning, when the Post Office is closed, and I have a lecture on Monday.

I know it's only me, but I thought it could be a problem for quite a few int. swappers? If it is just me - I'll just drop it ;) I'm only one swapper lol.

OrigamiGrace 05/10/2007 #

Ayii I can move the mail date by a day, sound good?? I don't want to close it early in case someone wants to drop and then gets trapped:)

OrigamiGrace 05/10/2007 #

Okay, done, I moved the send date out by one day to 5/15!

user6740 05/11/2007 #

Ah thank you so much! I think Tuesday is a free day for me :D Thank you!

Hila 05/12/2007 #

Since this is international - please note - if you send the swap outside of your country, maybe you shouldn't send perfume samples / spray since the postal services might suspect it for something else and it won't get to the destination. I think it'll be better not to send things with liquid inside or things that can break...

Just wanted to say if at all possible to not send me any floral-scented stuff. earthy smelling stuff is good tho. the floral scents tend to give me migranes.

OrigamiGrace 05/13/2007 #

I went thru this morning and made sure all remaining participants meet the swap criteria and have assigned partners! Happy swapping and Happy Mothers Day!

bunnycute...I just found the note I should have enclosed in your swap package at the bottom of my purse. If you get a mystery package without a note, it's from me. Sorry! It was mailed on Tuesday 5/15.
