Description:

Hello & welcome to the 'Show me your country swap'. I love traveling and learning about other cultures- if you are like me, you will enjoy this swap. It is fairly simple.

You will have to send 1 partner, an envelope OR packet with atleast 6 minimum items and 15 maximum items. The theme is 'your country/ culture'. The items have to be specific to your country or culture or follow the theme.

For example, If you are from Japan, You can send:

  • -a pen with sakura flower pattern on it
  • -a notebook with a woodblock print on the front
  • -a coin purse with a sumo wrestler on it
  • -a post card with a picture of a Japanese celeb
  • -a japanese geisha type hair ornament/combs
  • -a packet of japanese instant noodles/ ramen
  • -a packet of nori seaweed
  • -a small folding fan
  • -a sheet of Kawaii stickers
  • -a badge with Japanese typography
  • -a maneki-neko charm for mobile phones/bags
  • -a miniature food replica sushi keychain (Sampuru)
  • -a pair of chopsticks
  • -a buddhist/ white lotus bookmark
  • -a Japanese shrine/pagoda fridge magnet
  • -a Kokeshi doll or koma/kendama toys
  • -Japanese tea (matcha)
  • -a Japanese kite print scarf
  • -a samurai sword brooch
  • -a mini paper lantern
  • -a small furin windchime
  • -a drinking straw with a miniature japanese umberella (wagasa)
  • -a Japanese recipe
  • -a Japanese flag ATC
  • -a pretty tin box with mount Fuji image on it

....I'm sure you get some idea now! basically little souvenirs.

Write a small note about where you are from, explanation of the items (if needed), your swap id, date. You can decorate the envelope as well (keep in mind the theme). Also, Please... check your partners profile for dislikes.

Newbies with atleast two non electronic swaps can join. Everyone must have a good rating.

Please leave the name of your country as a comment.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

Happy swapping! Enjoy!


EDIT: I am making this swap two per country!!

If your country is already listed twice in the comments below, you can still join this swap if:

  • -you are able to do a theme with countries other than where you live (it shouldn't be already listed) ie. you live in USA but you have lots of items from Spain, you can do a Spanish theme, if Spain hasnt already been chosen twice

Remember this is the Show Me Your Country swap.. not state/town/region.. you can include something from your state/city but keep the theme to country!
