INTERNATIONAL

I love to have a good coffee and sit down and enjoy it with a good magazine. :)

You will have 1 partner who you will send a magazine and a satchet of coffee to. Postage shouldn't cost to much on this one.

When I mean a satchet of coffee, I mean just one single serving of coffee to make one cup of coffee to go along with your mag. Not a full sized bag of coffee equal to lots of coffees! :D

So send a mag and 1 single serving of coffee for your partner.

Please put a msg in the comment section with what kinds of magazines you like and kinds you would not like to recieve. Pls don't let the magazines be any older than 3mths and in reasonably good condition ie no rips, dried stains grease marks.

Also since this is an international swap please remember that some countries might not have the same titles and your might have to one that is not basically the title your after. But I think most countries carry the same titles pretty much.

Any question or queries pls PM me or stick a msg in the comment area below.

Guidelines

-Newbies please PM me before you join this swap. Newbies please make sure you have a full profile. It's not hard to type out more than 2 sentences about yourself.

-4.8 and up only.

-No more than 3 no sends in the last 3mths.

-I don't consider email/url swaps as real feedback. So if that's all you have then you will be banned.

-Pls msg your partner and me if you are going to be late. It is common courtesy!

I will keep an eye on profiles and I will ban people as I see fit.

Thanks!

This sounds like such a fun swap! I am a coffee addict! For magazines, I love Victoria, Cottage Living, Country Living, Somerset Life or anything about paper crafting.

CelestialFreak 01/ 3/2008 #

When you say a "sachet" of coffee, do you mean those little sample sized bags that you can get maybe one brew out of, or are you mentioning the regular grocery store sized bags? I'm sleepy so I'm all confused... I guess what I'm after is a suggested weight.

CelestialFreak 01/ 3/2008 #

I'm joining this swap for my hubster. I'm not a coffee drinker myself. Personally I prefer tea. But hey, to each their own.

For magazines he likes anything tech related; Mac magazine, Wired, Make magazine, etc.

He also likes his coffee the darker the better so if possible send the darkest roast you can find.

CelestialFreak 01/ 3/2008 #

To my future swap partner; Please address the package to my hubby so he'll open it. He tends to save all my swaps that come in the mail for me to open myself and I want him to know this one is for him.

His name is Kevin.

THANKS

AND to embryonichappyperson; Thanks for letting me know you mean the little ones!

embryonichappyperson 01/ 3/2008 #

For me it's pretty simple! I like to read gossip magazines, anything about the stars and all that I'm into! No specific title just whatever you think I will like. :)

It can be a trashy gossip mag or one with a bit more substance and decent articles. Basically like a woman's magazing eg. Marie Claire and Cosmo.

If you can send me a Cosmo from a different country then that would be great! :)

katrina 01/ 3/2008 #

I love the idea of joining a swap for your hubby CelestialFreak , so I'm joining with him in mind too. His Name is Gavin and likes Popular Mechanics and any computer magazines, used but no more than 6mths old is ok.He likes mocha (chocolate flavoured) coffee in preference to normal or he also likes iced coffee- It's summer here!!

katrina 01/ 3/2008 #

Gavin has just reminded me that he likes woodworking magazines too!!!

Littlelina 01/ 3/2008 #

Any golf magazine as I will give it to my boyfriend who is a big fan of the game. If not any fitnes/health, cleo,cosmo or girly like that. Cheers

larkinhm 01/ 4/2008 #

Decaf coffee only for me! Caffeine makes me crazy, but I love the taste. Magazines I like are:

Real Simple Ready-Made Everyday with Rachael Ray

embryonichappyperson 01/ 4/2008 #

People can you please list types of mags you like not just titles as some people might not be able to get the title you want and it would save your partner having to PM you when I assign partners.

Thankyou!

embryonichappyperson 01/ 4/2008 #

The above msg is mostly aimed at larkinhm and for anyone else joining.

larkinhm 01/ 4/2008 #

Okay..how about cooking mags and maybe crafty mags. Thanks!

embryonichappyperson 01/ 4/2008 #

Thankyou larkinhm! :)

carladallas 01/ 4/2008 #

I would LOVE to get a local magazine from your area if you have one. Otherwise, I get a lot of magazines: Fast Company, Time, Newsweek, Better Home and Garden, Dwell, Saveur, W, Artist, Food and Wine, Seventeen, National Geo.

So...I like everything! You could send me any decorating mag, or O, Real Simple, Martha Stewart. In the past I've enjoyed Sunset, Cowboys and Indians, Bead and Button, other beading magazines, Somerset's series, but also Scientific American, or Discover. Not so crazy about "People" type mags or fashiony ones.

Love all coffees, caff or decaf, flavored is great! I already have my package together, except for YOUR magazine...

Irene 01/ 7/2008 #

I'm a big fan of pretty much all coffee flavors, but prefer light to medium roasts. As for magazines, I prefer beauty mags, including the younger versions, like Teen Vogue, Seventeen, etc.

Thanks!

katrina 01/ 7/2008 #

Some more magazine ideas for my swap partner... Sci=fi , fantasy type of mags too. :o)

tejiendopalabras 01/10/2008 #

hi!! i love coffee and mags! so you cannot really be wrong sending anything (except for computer and video game magazines, maybe, which i'm not such a fan of). and, if you are my partner, let me know if you would like to receive Spanish, French, German or Italian magazines, or if you prefer me to look for mags in English! thanks!

jpwillett 01/17/2008 #

I would love anything about paper crafting, scrapbooking, and home decorating in general.

I also always enjoy reading Time magazine at the doctor's office ;0) My husband enjoys that one, too.

Specific mags I like are: Family Fun, People, Domino, O.

I'm a mom of 3 young children, so I already have a subscription to almost every parenting mag...and also Redbook. I also don't really read fashion mags since I am mostly at home with my kids ;0)

Any kind of coffee is good for me...but I LOVE French Roast and any hazelnut flavored kind.

jpwillett 01/17/2008 #

Also, if someone outside of the U.S. gets my name...I would LOVE a beautiful home decor magazine from another country.

Pinkyrocks 01/19/2008 #

i love fashion/gossip/home decoration/craft magazines...but i also like music and animal magazines. only thing i don't like is hunting/fishing/technical magazines. Coffee i drink almost everything but i especially like nice flavoured ones!

Christina 01/20/2008 #

I'm a big fan of fashion/beauty and entertainment magazines. I also love flavored coffee (well, I love all coffee--but please NO DECAF--what's the point?)

melody25 01/20/2008 #

Hi everyone:

I love magazines and coffee so I can't wait for this. I like dark coffees (caffeine is OK). As for magazines I would love: a regional magazine from your area--YEAH! a news magazine (if you're outside the U.S.) knitting (but not VK or Interweave--I get those) Cooking Also, as this is international, any language of publication is fine with me. Not into "People" or similar star/celebrity stuff. Many thanks. Can't wait to start.

Shash 01/30/2008 #

Hi All,

I love magazines and coffee both. Magazines: any international knitting magazines because I get the american ones, anything local to your area, anything you think I would like. Coffee: anything goes!!

Thanks!

ViviRK 01/31/2008 #

Wow, this is fun!^^ Well, i Like teen magazines although I'm not a teen anymore and magazines like cosmopolitan and the like (I can read in portuguese, english and a bit of spanish and italian, too). I also like felting craft magazines, beds jewelry making magazines, cross stitches magazines for crafty things.

I also enjoy japanese fashion magazines, although I can barely read them (sometimes I can't read them at all) and japanese felt and beads crafts magazines, because they always give me such cute ideas.^^

As for coffee, I don't drink it that much, but when I do I like those flavored ones like vanilla, capuccino, mocaccino, and the like.^^

rubberstampcollector 01/31/2008 #

I like beading, craft, crochet, knitting, and cooking magazines. I do not like beauty & magazines on stars, etc. like that I have a subscription to Crafts N things, Papercrafts, Giftmaker, & Pack o fun. I think that is all.

weeatcrayons 02/ 1/2008 #

I love beading and craft magazines, cooking magazines too! Especially ones on dessert! And I like flavored coffees!

agonysdecay 02/ 8/2008 #

WOW, for those of you who have an international partner and are shipping from the states BEWARE! I shipped my partner her magazine and coffee and it costed $16 USD to ship it. Its no big deal, I just didn't think it would be so costly. Just a warning :P
