Description:

Now I'm a girl who loves her candles... they're just good for any occation; laying in the bathtub in the dark with nothing but candles and music, intamate nights, to freshen a room, to tingle the nostrils with delight, or even just for show to embellish the home.

Candles are one of the most usefull items a person could use - no matter how it smells. In this swap, swappers will make a candle gift basket/set for their partner. Don't spend too much on it, we don't want you to spend a fortune on Yankee candles or anything - you can find delicious smelling candles at a Dollar Store or even a Walgreens... You can asort your set of candles with plastic gem-stones, beads, strings, cultured coins, and all sorts of things.

Swappers will include in this personalized candle set - something extra that they think should go with candles. Wether its a couple relaxing CDs, a box or chocolates, some bath salts, incese or massage stones - it doesn't matter. It's your creation for a fellow swapper so be thoughtful in your coices.

You must have at least 8 things in your basket, big or small it's up to you - but do NOT only send small candles like Tea-Lights, that defeats the purpose of an ASSORTMENT.

As for ratings, I will NOT allow anyone with a rating lower then 3.8 especially with any no sends. It is not fair to other swappers if they go to the effort and their partner doesn't come through.

Along with this little set, send a letter to your partner explaining who you are, why you love candles and what use they are to you and that is why you sent them this specific set. This is a gift; it would be nice to know who its from.

~~~~~~~Good luck swappers! Have fun!~~~~~~~

((Might want to ask your recepient what they're favorite smell is or most disliked smell is and or what-not... Don't want any allergies, or unhappy swappers now do we? ))

CLARIFICATION:

  • 8 Items

  • 1 Set/Basket

  • 1 Letter

I think for a swap this big you should have no one under a 4.9 rating. Maybe that is what you meant but in the swap description it says 3.8. I would not join if the requirements are truely that.

LillyPad 08/22/2008 #

I apologise for that but I check up on every member I believe people who ban people they have not spoken to are rude and ignorant - therefore I do not do that and that is why that is the rating limit. Because of people addicted to dropping people like a hat and not giving them a second chance. I created this swap - you DONT have to join. I check up on every member so please do NOT slander MY judgment.

Can there be tarts in the basket, or do they all have to be wicked candles please? Do you have to adorn the candles with gems etc, or are they okay mixed in amongst the basket or box? Thank You

bookwyrmm 08/24/2008 #

Does it have to be an actuall basket or could it be a box or gift bag? Also, just to clarify, it needs to be 8 items, not 8 candles plus other items, correct?

Gosh, I'm sorry I offended you by asking. It wasn't my intention to make you feel bad. I honestly thought it was just a typo. Good luck with your swap.

I'd love any kind of candles or tarts. Vanilla are my favorite, but I like pretty much everything so surprise me

LillyPad 09/ 7/2008 #

Tarts are okay, even though I personally have no idea how to use them since I've never owned them lol.

It doesn't have to be a basket, it can be a tray, a bag, or bundle - it doesn't really matter.

You do NOT HAVE to adorn the candles, but you still have to have 8 items atleast. Things like bags of rocks for decoration and bags of shells and gems, DO count as an item.

Have fun guys!!!

I forgive you HelioGal ;)

B.T.W. I really don't like smells that smell like soap, or colone, or chemical like cotton. I really love the authentic smells like caramel, hazle-nut, jasmin, and 'water' scented things! :) Mix em will yah? Thanks!!! EEP EXCITED!!!

I hate lavender, strawberry, and "fake" scents (i.e. plasticky or super-sweet vanillas, chocolates, fruits) - they all give me a headache. I love clean and watery scents. I also enjoy tropical, bakery, and unique scents.

aernfridh 09/10/2008 #

I like more natural scents like pomegranate, vanilla, cinnamon, fresh berries, sage, citrus, evergreen, bayberry.
Really flowery scents tend to trigger my allergies.
