Description:
For this swap you send an envie 6x9 or larger with at least 4 items inside representing different things you remember fondly from your childhood. You could send items based on your favourite cartoon, book, candy, toy etc when you were a kid. You have to cover at least 4 parts of your child so you can't just say I liked care bears and send just 4 different care bear things. You have to talk about 4 or more aspects of your childhood and send at least 1 item representing each. Also include a letter with your swap just about why you included what you did. This swap is completely senders choice. It's about the senders childhood not the receivers.

Very nice @iggygirl :)

by items, do you mean anything...? Notes, book reports, photos, etc? Or should it be something useful/ collectible beyond the purpose of getting to know each other and have fun?

I'm not sure if I completely understand the question but it's probable more toward second option. Try to send something your partner can enjoy aswell so they can also enjoy a bit of what you enjoyed when a kid. Your partner should be able to play with the item in some way. Like I'm going to send stuff like books, dvd, candy, toys. I play with them first then when my partner gets it they can play too.

I like the thought of this swap only so much of my childhood loves have ceased to exist or they are so altered they are unrecognizable. I need to think on this. If I can come up with 4 things to send I will.

I know, @geekgirl33 ...

what have they done to strawberry shortcake?!?!?!

THANK YOU @wackywallflower / @geekgirl33 ... why do they bother bringing back the things we love if they're just going to bastardize them? They even managed to ruin the candy!

I still love this swap though :)

The best place to look is old thift stores and garage sales if you wanna find the old stuff, it okay to send new stuff too though if you want.
