Description:

With fall and winter fast approaching, the season for the common cold and even (gasp!) the flu is right around the corner. I've always been an early bloomer, so I've even got my first fall cold as I type.

For this swap (US ONLY), you will send one partner a "Sick Day Care Package" of at least 5 items that will comfort and soothe them as they lay in bed, as well as a letter explaining what you do to feel better when you're sick, and things that make you happy. Suggestions include hot teas or cocoa, books or magazines, dehydrated soup packets, logic or word puzzles- be creative, and check your partners profile. Send as many items as you want- aim for hearts!!! But PLEASE- do not send any actual medicine in your package. Cough drops or throat strips might be okay, but be sure to check the message board to see if your partner specifically requested NOT to recieve these items. Also, please post any suggestions (perhaps things that you enjoy while sick- if I get any really good ones I'll add them) or un-requests in the discussion board below.

Here's the fun part- don't open the package until you ACTUALLY need it! When you recieve your package, rate your partner based on timely-ness- your rating can always be changed if you got short changed (I hate to have to add that.) Or if you want to add hearts or extra comments!

This is a US ONLY swap open to those with a rating of 4.5 or greater and no recent no-sends. And sorry, but no newbies. There is plenty of time before sign up date to get rated. Please PM me if there is someone you feel is sketchy, and note that I will band after sign ups.

Please no cough drops.. etc.. with medicines in them. I have many chemical allergies and sensitivities to artificial sugars, as well.

Thank you.

Great Idea, I'm in. I used to make little care packages for my fall craft fairs, I can't wait to put another one together.

Wonderful Idea, I can take and handle anything, I am easy. As for books or mags to read if you want to include something like that in it I like true crime and haunting romances like vampires and ghosts books LOL and fashion mags HEHE..
