Monogram swap

I really enjoy giving and receiving small personalized items, either with my full name, first name, initials or just the first letter of my name. I thought it would be fun to do a swap where we can all get something new and cool with our first-name initial.

So here's the deal... We will each have 3 swap partners and this will be international. (Swappers with low ratings or blank profiles will be dropped. If you're new, please fill out your profile!)

When you sign up, please leave a comment on this page specifying the letter of your first name (in case it's not clear with your registered name).

Once you are given your partners to send to, you will check to see what the first letter of their first names are. If you're not sure, ask (either here or by e-mail).

You will send each partner (at least) one item (worth at least $5) with their first name initial. Some ideas:

• a set of note cards or other stationery with their monogram printed, stamped, embroidered, etc. on it (my personal favourite)
• a key chain of the letter of their first name
• a coin purse with their monogram on it
• a (good quality) charm or pendant with their first name initial
• a journal or small notebook with the first name initial
• a nice (not tiny) rubber stamp of the letter

If you can think of other ideas, please post them!

A handmade item can be fine (perhaps you can ask your partner first, to see if they would mind), as long as it's REALLY NICE and meets the requirements.

Three partners should ensure that everyone gets at least one or two nice items. :)
