It is up to the sender to choose one of the receivers themes and decorate an envelope in the chosen theme.

You should also inlude a little surprise in the envelope, that you think will make your partner happy. It could be stickers, decotape, candy, postcards - try and send something, that you think your partner will like - meaning that it should not be on your partners "do not like"-list.

Remember that the enveope is the most important.

Themes could be (examples)

  • butterflies

  • candy

  • a holiday (christmas, halloween, easter)

  • a colour (f. ex purple)

  • animals

  • food

  • travelling

  • love

But try to write different themes, so your partner has something to chose from.

No recent 1´s or 3´s (withn the past 6 months).

Minimum rating 4.99

Newbies with well filled-out profiles are welcome, but I will check profiles and ban anyone whom I do not feel comfortable letting in the swap.

Remember to write at least 5 themes below.

Happy swapping:)
