• I always send out swaps as soon as I can + rate as soon as I can.
• I love to include extras - surprises are fun!
• I am green and often re-use packaging.
• If you haven't received your swap from me, let me know asap - I always send them out + want you to get them. So I will do my best to sort it out.
• Sometimes I re-send items I've received, but it's not because I don't like it - it's because I think someone else will enjoy it more. I always keep handmade/drawn items though!
• I am happy with second hand/lightly used items - as long as it's not bath items or makeup - ew.
