Description:
I love sending and receiving swaps, but I get a little tired of getting boxes and envelopes. For this swap you will send your partner one item that they definitely are not expecting in their mailbox. Now is the time to think outside of the box, literally. For this swap you will send your partner a gift of some sort (try to make it something they will like), but you have to package it in a non-traditional way. There are websites dedicated to creative shipping, so feel free to get ideas from them. Your item may not be shipped in a regular box or envelope, cutely decorated boxes or envelopes are not enough for this swap. If you have any questions about this, please message me. As usual this swap is newbie friendly, but I'm going to have to limit it to USA only this time.

I have done this before I Swap a dvd, we used plastic soda bottles, round oatmeal containters, what else? I cant remember but it was fun.

Does it have to be packaged in some way?... or can we send an unusual item with no packaging? For example: a large plastic pig with the shipping lable stuck to his belly (or some such randomness)

@MommyKnows that would be fine, but you might want to find a way to attach a note.

You have a swapper in this swap with an completely empty profile. Sure hope you checked profiles before assigning partners.
