Number of swap partners:1
Description:

In this swap you will mail your partner a 6x9 or larger envie full of stuff for kids. You are welcome to mail with a 9x12 envie, a larger bubble envie, or a box, but NO SMALLER THAN 6x9 and it must be nice and full.

Leave a comment below w/ your child's name, age, likes, and dislikes. List any food allergies.

You may send stuff that you already have on hand -BUT- no broken, damaged, dirty, dangerous, or dinky junk. Send at least 1 new thing, such as a sheet of stickers or a package of candy. STUFF that envie FULL!

Items to consider sending: color books, crayons, candy, stickers, hair ribbons, comics, books, funky socks, color pencils, little cars, $1 bags of dinos or bugs, Dollar store goodies...

Feel free to ask for stuff for more than 1 child, but keep in mind that your partner is only sending you 1 package. I have 3 kids, but there is one in particular that likes to beg for my mail.

As for a money limit, I would say plan to spend $3-$5 to make sure your envie is nice and full. If you blow your budget on one item you can always print out little color sheets on your printer, include stickers, or pull out used happy meal toys from your kids stash. If you have stuff like brand new color books at home they would count in the package value. If you pulled a matchbox car out of your child's toy box I probably would NOT count this in the value.

Who can join? Anyone, even UNRATED newbies. If you have a rating it must be 4.8 or above. No 1's in the last 6 months, no 3's in the last 3 months unless you have a good excuse. ANY QUESTIONS PM ME!

I would like my partner to include stuff for all 3 of my kids. Dusty is 6, Caleb is 4 (and is my mail begger), and Hazel is 2 almost 3. My boys are typical boys, they like cars, bugs, candy, dirt, messes, art, coloring....Hazel is a princess and likes pink girly princess things and candy.

I'm signing up my 3 y/o daughter Victoria. She likes Dora, disney princesses, tinkerbell, and anything pink, purple, or red. She also likes stickers, coloring, books, puzzles, hair accessories, fruit snacks, and colorful socks. She also likes to make crafts so any simple/foam type craft kits. I also have a 9 month old baby, so if anyone would like to throw in a bib or a pair of socks for that would be appreciated too :)

My kids always ask if they got something in the mail so this is pretty awesome! They're easy to please otherwise I'd feel bad joining LOL :)

8 yr old girl - loves to make paper dolls so pretty papers would be great, as well as sequins, rhinestones, buttons, and glitter.

5 year old boy - total boy, he loves Thomas the Tank & Friends, regular trains, planes, automobiles, etc. he would love some stickers or a coloring book with these themes in mind.

Please, no toys, my kids like to make their own fun up with odds and ends - thank you for considering this :)

I am signing up my son Andrew who is 3. Andrew loves to read and is very much into space and the ocean right now, particularly coral reef stuff.

I hate to be too picky but I would prefer scraps of paper to dollar store toys as we have enough of that kind of thing come through here via the grandmother but other than that anything will be so appreciated.

Also, if you have "girl" stuff to give away and are nervous about sending it to a boy- don't be. He's into "girly" things as much as rough and tough "boy" things and will be pleased with whatever mail he gets.

If at all possible, could you address it to Andrew? He recognizes his name and searches for it when the mail comes. :) Thanks!!

Wallflower - I love you wanting the package addressed to your son - whoever gets me, please address it to Angela & Samuel, my kids will LOVE this :)

My package was returned.?. I didn't know you couldn't just throw stamps on it and mail it... I called and they said you can only do that with packages under like 13 ounces or you have to hand them over the counter and have them stamped with an aviation security stamp. Sorry, I feel like the worst hostess ever! I'll be driving it to the PO tomorrow and mailing it in person and will pay to have it sent Priority.
