Description:

I've been having fun hosting different Pamper Me swaps and this one has popped into my head. I hope you all think it'll be as much fun as I do! For this swap you’ll have to choose 5 items from the list below. Package it up nicely then send it off to one partner to enjoy. Choose from :

  • 4 books (used okay) please no children's books or non-fiction books unless your partner has specifically noted in the comments that they are ok to send

  • 4 bookmarks (new or handmade)

  • a list of 10 of your favorite books and authors

  • 5 packets of something to drink while enjoying a good book (tea bags, k cups, crystal light packets, etc.)

  • a booklight

  • a tote bag (for those great library / bookstore hauls)

  • a pair of cozy socks to wear while reading

  • 2 ATC's or postcards featuring books or based on a book / story

  • a piece of jewelry featuring a book , book pages, or a quote from a book or author

  • 10 bookplates

  • 10 quotes from authors or from a character in a book neatly printed on cardstock

  • something handmade by you from bookpages

  • something crafty related to books (washi tape, stickers, etc.)

If there’s anything you think should be on this list please PM me and I’ll add it. Check your partners profile for dislikes (i.e. - don’t send religious quotes if they aren’t religious, don't send tea if they hate the stuff). This is NOT a flat envie swap and you should not be sending only the 5 flattest (and cheapest) things on the list. Please only send good quality items you would be happy to receive.

This swap has no dollar amount set to it, but since it has the option of being a spendy swap, I’ll be very closely watching those who join. You must have completed at least 30 type 3 swaps before signing up. No one with unexplained 1 or 3 ratings will be allowed to join. Please PM me if you need to explain a rating. Also due to the cost, I'll be keeping this as US only (Canadian swappers with a US address are welcome though). If you are an international swapper and want to use this idea to host your own swap, feel free to do so.

To just go over it all again, that’s 5 items from the list wrapped up nicely and sent to totally pamper one partner’s reading needs.

Did you mean to say 4 books equals one item?

1happyday 09/ 1/2015 #

hmmmm. I'm a little concerned over the fact that someone could theoretically send 4 books, a totebag, a booklight, a piece of jewelry and a nice homemade book related craft, but in return receive 4 book marks, an altered book page, stickers, a list of 10 favorite books and a list of 10 quotes. It seems sort of uneven. I'll watch for now, and decide on this later. I love the idea.

@MommyKnows - yes 4 books equals one item

@1happyday - thank you for pointing that out. I would hope that the swappers who join would send a nice mix of items and not just the cheapest ones. I've learned to go over participants carefully before assigning partners and if anyone who joins one of the swaps I host is unhappy, I'd do what I can to make it right. I have tweaked the swap instructions though.

I know my profile says no books, since I have a hard time reading, but short books, or even books of jokes, etc are great.

Thanks @tigerlilly327 I'll go ahead and join. This is really a great idea. :)

I love this swap and am excited to participate, but it seems odd that 4 books are only 1 item. Considering the value and shipping cost of a book, it seems that 1 or even 2 could be counted as 1 item.

Crazipurplelady 09/ 7/2015 #

You can ship BOOKRATE at a fraction of the cost. If asked at the Post Office if there is a letter inside, say no. :)

Media mail items can be opened by the post office. If they don't send it back to you, the receiver will be charged the additional postage fees for the package.

tigerlilly327 09/ 8/2015 #

You can always package your swap in 2 boxes simply labelled 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. If you choose to send books, mail those separately by media mail.

Big box finally out to my partner.
