🎄 For this swap, the idea is to pick out a seasonal card that your partner might love, and inside, write a playlist of 5-10 of your favorite holiday songs/ carols + ideally the musical artist (this can be helpful if a song has been sung by many people - what’s your favorite version?), a little bit about 'why' you like it, plus one small, flat, winter-themed gift (no wrapping required!).

❄️ Please write your list inside a holiday card - store-bought or handmade, secular or religious! (stationery can also be used… but it must be tucked INTO the holiday card!)
❄️ Choose 5-10 songs and write at LEAST one sentence about each song (why you like it so much, a memory it’s attached to, where you heard it first or more recently, if you've ever heard it performed live, a time or person it brings to mind, etc.)!
❄️ Include one flat gift

Ideas for a flat gift:
• A sticker sheet, a few die-cut vinyl stickers, washi samples, good quality ephemera, decorative paper, beautiful book pages, die cuts, a blank postcard, a few note/memo sheets, a bookmark, gift tags, unused postage stamps, journaling cards, blank recipe cards, etc. It doesn’t have to be much, just send along something you’d be delighted to receive! 🙂

This swap is international, so please be sure you have international postage on hand just-in-case!

Newbies with a well-filled out profile are welcome to participate! Established swappers should have at least a 4.95 and no unexplained/unresolved 1’s or 3’s. I’ll be checking participants and will remove anyone I don’t feel confident will hold up their end of the bargain!

If you receive a holiday card that includes 5-10 songs, plus at least 5-10 sentences, plus a flat item (even if you don’t particularly like it, the thought was there), please rate your partner a 5.

& I’ll angel if the need arises!
