24 days of gifts advent calendar #41 Rubber Stamps

Christmas is here soon! Or not. But December 1st isn't -that- far away (it never is!), and November and December are both busy and expensive, so having advent calendars ready is a good feeling, even when it's still months away =) And of course you are allowed to open your presents at any time you want, so if you are the type of person that just can't wait, you don't have to ;P You are required to rate with a 5 as soon as you get your gifts in the mail, no matter when you are planning to open them!

The rules are like last year, and the year before that: you will have 4 partners. To each of your partners you send 6 wrapped presents with ribbon on them so they are possible to hang somewhere, either a loop or two loose ends. This way you will have a gift to open every day until Christmas, from 4 different places in the world!

This swap IS themed! The theme is Rubber Stamping. That means that you are going to send gifts that has to do with rubber stamping, like rubber stamps (clear, mounted unmounted), ink pads/pens/markers/daubers/dabbers, clear blocks, embossing powder/pads/pens, cleaning supplies, mounting foam, you name it, if it's for rubber stamping it's all good =) But it is a requirement that at least 3 of the packages has to contain rubber stamps in some shape or form, and if you want to you can choose to send rubber stamps in all the packages. This will make it a lot of shipping costs if you get an international partner and send clear or unmounted stamps only. But if the rubber stamp you wish to send to your partner is smaller than 1x1 inch, you need to put two in the package. Other than that it's senders choice!

New of this year is that many of these swaps will be hosted in a group called Advent lovers (this is one of them). Lots of seasoned swappers don't want to swap in public swaps at all, but still want to participate in these swaps. If you want to apply for membership in this group, go to Advent lovers
