Description:

The basic idea of naked mail is that you are taking an object and putting the address info and postage directly on that object, rather than packaging it up in an envelope or box. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_mail

For this swap, you will be sending your partner one item, naked mail style. Let your imagination run wild with this! You can send something that might be useful to the other person, or something funny, or a toy, or anything really! Get creative with this!

Make sure that your partner's address is put on the object in a way that won't easily come off during mailing! Also, I would strongly suggest taking a picture of what you mail before sending it so that you have some proof that you really sent out the swap. The one possible downside is that naked mail does, on occasion, fail to reach its destination. Sometimes that is just part of the fun though! I am setting a high rating requirement for this swap so that we can hopefully keep the flakers out. I'm also keeping this swap as USA only just for ease of shipping (I've never sent naked mail internationally before). If anyone else wants to set up a naked mail swap for their part of the world, please feel free :)
