Description:

Towel Day is almost upon us, and whether you're a fan of Douglas Adams or not, we can all celebrate with this swap.

You will be sending 1 partner a fresh, new kitchen towel. Any nice kitchen towel will do, we won't get too specific except to say that there's no need to send a novelty towel and it shouldn't be so bulky that it won't ship easily in a small to medium mailer, and please don't buy a crappy towel from the dollar store made of cheap thin fabric with dodgy stitching.

Wrap a little surprise for your partner in the towel. Value of the surprise should be between $2 - $5 US dollars.

Towel and surprise are senders choice. Please send something thoughtful to your partner. But remember partners: you are rating on receiving a new towel and a surprise ... rate fairly even if you receive something that doesn't suit your tastes.

DON'T FORGET to include a note with your vitals: username / group / swap name.

Towel Day is May 25. It celebrates the works of Douglas Adams and is a reference from his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I'd love to join but I already found another towel swap to join, awww :( - not as brilliant as this swap, actually! haha!

Would it be okay if I altered my towel in order to make it more of a Towel Day towel than just a regular towel? The alteration will not degrade the towelness of the towel (I don't want to give anything away here).

I think that's a great idea @user2637. I've seen towels that you can purchase specifically for towel day, but I'd never ask anyone here to seek out something like that, so your idea works perfectly!

sweet! :) I've seen the towels for purchase too, but they are expensive. I wish I had a sewing machine that did embroidery. Alas.

I was lurking on a gambling thread when someone dropped a code. I used the stay casino promo code https://stayjackpot.com/promo-code/ expecting it to be expired, but it worked perfectly. It gave me a nice boost to start with. I had a rocky start, losing a bit, but then hit a lucky streak on the pokies. It’s nice to have a win after a long week working in Darwin.

Ciao a tutti! Sono entusiasta di partecipare a questo swap per Towel Day, è un modo davvero divertente per condividere un po' di amore e creatività. Credo che tutti possiamo trovare un bel canovaccio da inviare e aggiungere un piccolo pensiero per il nostro partner. Assicuratevi di scegliere qualcosa di originale e non banale, è importante che il gesto sia sincero! Se volete approfondire ulteriormente questa iniziativa, potete visitare spinsy per trovare altre idee interessanti. Ricordatevi che la bellezza di questi scambi sta nel pensare agli altri e nel rendere felice qualcuno con un semplice gesto. Buon divertimento a tutti!
