First, I would like to apologize to all of the superb international fellow swappers out there, but international postage is too much for me right now.

Somehow I always end up being the person responsible for all stocking content in my family. In theory my partner is responsible for filling my stocking so I'll have some surprises, but the last two years I've ended up with some of his personal stash of candy wrapped in my stocking. Needless to say, my stocking was fairly empty and not at all exciting. So, through this swap I hope to get some stocking surprise.

Here's the scoop:

  1. Buy or make a medium to large sized stocking.

  2. Fill the stocking with at least 5 'gift' items. Please look to your partner's profile for inspiration.

  3. Include a treat (ie tea, candy, nuts). Please make sure it it non-perishable enough to sit on the mantle for the 3 weeks before Christmas. If your partner doesn't want food items you can put in a little something else.

  4. Add a little handmade goodie. This could be a cool card (blank for your partner to use), scarf, bag, whatever it is that you make that is cool & enjoyable. I'd prefer that an ATC not be the handmade good, but feel free to put one in the stocking if you'd like. You can also make more than one item if you'd like to for the 5 gifts.

  5. Please giftwrap the items so that the contents can be a surprise for your partner.

Now for the nitty gritty...Please keep spending in the $10-15 range and try hard to tailor to your partner's profile. Just because this is not a high dollar swap, please don't take that as an invitation to send junk. Try and send nice items you would like to receive. You must have no recent 'no sends', at least a 4.5 rating, and have sent at least 3 swaps that require you to send items. I will ban users who don't meet the requirements after the sign up date. The send by date is Dec. 3rd to allow ample time for all of us to get a stocking at the fireplace in time for Christmas.

And finally, I won't be able to angel this swap, but hopefully that won't be needed. Questions? Please ask away! thanks
