Description:

This is a USA only swap. Sorry to everyone else, this is just a quickie swap, and it takes a bit longer to send/receive internationally. I have other swaps that are international.

ANYONE can join this swap, newbies, long-time Swappers, and the in-betweens. :)

This swap is meant to receive ratings fast, for newbies and those who feel they have been rated unfairly. You can choose ONE of any item to send to THREE partners, so that's three ratings!

Please note : you do not HAVE to pick from this list - it's just to give you ideas. PLEASE do not send junk. Gum wrappers (for example) and dirty and heavily used items will not be accepted. BUT just because you get something you don't like doesn't mean you can rate unfairly. Make sure you do read your partner's profile to make sure they don't have any allergies. Other than that, have fun!

Suggestions * Greeting cards. * Handmade envelopes. * A pack of gum, mints, or candy. * A sheet of stickers. * Anything crafty you think your partner would like. * A mixed CD. - Make sure you include a track listing. * A notebook/journal - storebought or handmade. * An ATC. * A pack of 5 swap cards* * Body spray, lotion, or the like. * unused postage stamps (.41 cents each) * unused postcard stamps (.26 cents each) * memo pad * stationary sheet with matching envelope * kitchen magnets * a sheet of address labels (printed with partners name & address) * a pack of post-it notes * Anything inexpensive you think your partner would enjoy.

  • A swap card is something you send along with a swap to identify the swap they are sending. These can be handmade or printed, or both! They must include a place to write the swap name, a place to write comments, and must have "Their name AKA Their Display Name" (Unless they're the same!) on the card. These have to be at least the size of a normal business card, but feel free to be creative!

PLEASE make sure you're sending something YOU would like to receive. This is supposed to be a fun and easy swap.

If you're unsure, feel free to ask questions!

Please list any allergies below ; but don't request anything. This is a surprise swap!

Feel free to get packages ready ahead of time. However - don't seal it until you make sure you're not sending anything that your partner is allergic to. That way you wont feel so rushed. If you were highly allergic to peanuts, you wouldn't want to receive M&M's, would you?

If you want a heart : Make it a super special package, maybe pick two or three items from the list, personalized to your partner's profile, etc.

  • Remember! You can rate your partner as soon as you receive your package. Please do so! As this swap is intended for people who are new to Swap-Bot and need ratings.

Requirements You MUST have a fully filled out profile. It makes hosts feel more comfortable. You wont be banned unless you're a repeat no-sender. If your name shows up on a database of members who sign up for swaps, don't send, and delete their profiles, you will be removed.

If you don't intend on sending anything - please don't join! :)

Partners are available the day after the signup deadline. I assign partners manually, so it might not be at 12:01 unless I happen to be up & on Swap-Bot at that time.

I like the quick one on one's! Now to wait for partner:( takes so long lol Tracy B.

When there's no dollar amount specified, is there at least an amount that's safe to go by? I'm guessing these are not "spend $40 if you want" swaps but having at least an idea would be great. Is $5-10 a safe guess for this? Or more like $2-5?

mysterygirl 06/10/2007 #

There's no spending limit - just something you think your partner would like.

Leadcrow 06/15/2007 #

I would love to do this... sounds simple enough. ^^ Can't wait to get my partner so I can start choosing things!

MARY 06/16/2007 #
