Description:

Welcome to the first 6 Senses Box Sawp, which also happens to be the first i organize and will result in making me extremely careful and demanding in my choice of participants, even though i will accept newbies.

This swap will try to be entirely profile based as it is supposed to charm each and every of the participants' senses.

No minimum spending will be expressed, but you will probably agree with me that such a swap cannot be made without spending either a lot of time or a little money, and possibly both. That is why i will not refuse newbies, who sometimes can be extremely eager to have a wonderful first swapping experience and could lose all motivation with a bad one.

This is also why, to avoid flaking, i will expect ALL would-be participants to send me a few lines expressing their motivation and determination to join and ask them to COMMUNICATE either with me or their partner. I will refuse anyone who does not take the time to do so. Investing so much time and care cannot be rewarded by a sad disappointment in front of an empty mailbox.

Only join if you are CERTAIN that you will participate with extreme care and send something of a quality that would make you very, very happy, should you be the one to receive it.

It will consist in filling a box with at least 6 items after having carefully read your partners' profile, as follows:

-1 item for the eyes: At least 3 sheets/pages, beautiful ones, accordingly to your partner's tastes and your own. It can be drawings, photographs, postcards, picture book, folded posters etc... It can also be a DVD of a movie you think is beautiful (make sure the language will not be a problem for your partner), or that you made yourself, or a selection of pictures you took if you are a fair photographer.

-1 item for the ears: The easiest could be to send a CD compilation of songs that you think will seduce the ears of your partner, but you can also send a whole CD you bought or are willing to sacrifice for the sake of swapping.

-1 item for the hands or skin: From fabric to plush animals, or dolls, from nice and funny 3D book covers to anti-stress toys, pick and send one thing that will be pleasant to hold, or wear, and touch. If your partner's skin allows it, it can also be a moisturising lotion, or any sort of body care product that has to do with skin, hands and soft hair :)

-1 item for the mouth: Teabags, powdered drinking preparations, spices, sweets, snacks, gums, chocolate, everything is allowed, as long as the Post from both countries and the weather allow its sending, and your partner is not allergic to it. Previously asking your partner or checking about her/his preferences or allergies will certainly be a necessary precaution.

-1 item for the nose: Scented candles, perfume samples, incense, be creative! If you choose to send perfume samples, be sure to enclose a reasonably large one or many small ones and protect them well from breaking.

-1 item for the mind: Anything extra that you suspect to have the power to please your partner's mind.

If the swap is done nicely, it is almost certain that it will earn you a heart and a few nice thanking words, and possibly a friend in the end.

I will check profiles very carefully, so make sure to fill it well and meet the swap requirements before asking to join.

This swap requires time and more than just the will to get something fun in the mailbox: it really takes the strong desire to make someone you do not know yet very happy.

I'll answer any question :)

I love this idea! But I think that since it is all profile-based, it would be nicer to have a bit longer to make everything in as we can't start preparing in advance before partners are assigned.

^ I second that. It looks like a fun swap but I think at least a full two weeks would be nice. I know I sometimes need more time to be able to fit going by the store and post into my schedule, as well as it's nice to have more time to plan super special things (:

Oh damn, i thought i had set 2 weeks. I'm rubbish at counting days :)

I'll change it straight away!

I'm dying to know who is my partner to prepare the box of items!!!

mnemosynes 05/24/2012 #

Soon :)

princessarmadillo 05/24/2012 #

Ahhh!! I've always wanted to send a full box of things to somebody across the globe, that's how I found Swap Bot T.T <3 I am so excited

mnemosynes 05/25/2012 #

I edited the subscription date so that it could match the time and date i had announced in my e-mail.

I hope you are all pleased with your partner and will enjoy the swap!

Communicate as much as you need to to to make sure the package you'll send will be as close as can be to your partner's dream.

:)

...and if you can manage it, take a picture of your parcel before sending it, for the record :)

May I ask, who hosted the USA version? Is/was there one?

mnemosynes 06/ 9/2012 #

As far as i know, no USA only version. Maybe a similar swap, but as i created this one from head to toes, i know it has not been re-created for the USA, unless someone stole the text and/or idea :) I made a EU-only version though.
