Description:

Create for your partner an unusual wreath. This is not necessarily a "Christmas" wreath, but one made according to your partners interests, colors, collections, etc. For inspiration google search unusual wreaths and here is one site I came across: http://listicles.thelmagazine.com/2008/12/top-10-unusual-holiday-wreaths/

Here are some examples: If your partner likes the color purple, you could make or decorate a wreath with things that are purple.

If your partner likes a certain character or action figure, decorate one with action figures. (I've seen some with Barbie dolls)

If your partner likes gardening, decorate it with seed packets, veggies or flowers, etc.

If your partner likes shiny, glittery things, use that.

If your partner collects fun pens, use pens on your wreath.

Use chopsticks, penguins, deck of cards, color combos, kitchen gadgets, recipe cards, bottle caps, buttons, beads, office supplies, candy, whatever you want. The idea is to make this fun, funny, unusual, silly, wierd, etc. and to base it on something your partner likes or mentions in their profile.

USA only, 4.9 ratings are higher, no recent no-sends or unexplainable tardiness. New swappers are welcome with a filled out profile.

Edited to answer some questions: I don't know the exact sizes they come in at the stores, but maybe at least 5-6 inches around. It doesn't necessarily have to be round either. I'm not concerned so much about the size, but rather profile based and something different. It can be for indoors or outdoors, depending what it's made out of, or how wierd it is! The main thing is to have fun. Here is another fun link to check out: http://www.threadbanger.com/threadheads/post/10763/weekly-diy-roundup-wreaths
