WINTER IN JULY Greeting card /Surprise

Dang its hot in Arizona in the Summer. So I want to host a cool swap. So a mailbox full of winter fun, is the goal of this swap. You can also find a book swap and a postcard swap in my profile.

For this swap you will send what most would call a Christmas card, but it can be any type of winter holiday greeting card. So anything winter: snow, skiing, sledding.. Or any December Holiday: Christmas, Winer solitice, Chanukah (Hannukah), Kwanzaa, If for some reason you might be offended by a certain holiday, this might not be the swap for you

NOW BESIDE THE HOLIDAY GREETING CARD: This will be a small Surprise swap. So get some greeting cards, add a few extras but stay under the 1 ounce rate if you can. It is bumpy it only cost 20 cents to mark it Non Machineable for USA. But I realize I am not sure about how it effect international mail. Bumpy mail can get torn up by their sorting machines.

Cards and surprises are senders choice.
. Items for the surprise do not need to be Holiday based, but can be.

Holiday stickers

any stickers

a decorated emery board

a book mark

a tea bag

postcards (oh notice that is Plural)

No trash or dirty items, The goal of a regift is that the person cant tell it was a regift. So please send stuff in decent shape.

YOU MUST DECORATE THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE with stamps, or stickers or decorative tape, or drawings.

SO TO RECAP 3 Holiday greeting cards. Fill the card with a few goodies, and stay under 1 oz Decorate the outside of the envelope

I want this to be international because I do love the varied Holidays in other countries. I realize the cost can scare some people away. But keep it under 1 oz and it wont bust your budget.

This is a type 3 because you have to put some effort into the cards, surprise, and envelope.
