Description:
In this swap you will have 1 partner and you will send them a jar (mason, plastic, tin) or a box (the decorative kind, not just a cardboard box) filled with 26 items. There should be an item for each letter of the Alphabet. Be creative! For example for 'A', don't send your partner an Apple.. instead send them something with apples on them such as stickers, erasers, envelopes. Do not use 'stickers' for the letter 'S', because you can send 'Monkey Stickers' for 'M', or some other kind of stickers for another letter. (If this doesn't make since please let me know!) Do not go out and spend a lot of money on this swap! The challenge is to try and find things you've got on hand! Everything should fit in a jar, or small/medium sized box! Please also include a list of the items you are sending, in alphabetical order! Some examples.. A- Apple Erasers B- Bunny Stickers C- Candy (please look at your partners profile before sending candy) D- Duck Stickers E- Elephant postcard and so on! Please do not send a lot of different animal stickers! Try and find something more creative! Check your partners profile and try and include a couple things that are listed on their profile. This is, however, a senders choice swap! Be creative, and have fun! Please message me with any questions you might have, or comment! I'll try and answer them ASAP! I'll be checking profiles so please let me know if you have 1 or 3 ratings and why you have them. Because of the cost of shipping, this is for USA users only. :(

might wanna just stick with the box cause the jar could get broke during shipment.

I still wanna send a jar, I was just going to wrap it in bubble wrap!! :)

4.5 rating is very very very low for this type of swap...I see you are kindof new..I wouldn't want to see someone get flaked on such a big swap.

But it does sound like an awesome swap.

I've picked up a few items already. This is fun.

Plastic Mayo jars work well-just tape around the lid & top of jar and mail it as is. I've also used small water bottles too. This came just in time as I've used up all the goodies from the last swap!

You mean you can just stick postage and a shipping label on the jar itself and ship it as is?

Madeline1992 02/17/2012 #

If they let you do that, then yes, but I'll be putting mine in a box first and then shipping it

badhausfrau 02/17/2012 #

Right. I meant is that allowed by the US Post office, do you know?

Madeline1992 02/17/2012 #

I don't know, I'm sorry

I have sent and recieved bottles in the mail so I don;t think it would be a proplem and it is fun getting it unwrapped in the mail and it would be good to decorate the bottle too not sure if they would let you do glass jars though

I have a plastic rice jar. I think it would be fun to get unwrapped in the mail too. I asked my mailman and he said it would probably be okay but he couldn't say for sure until he saw it. I will comment again on Monday and let you know if it worked.

does anyone have ideas for X and Z I am stumped

badhausfrau 02/21/2012 #

So I was able to send the jar without a box, for those who were wondering! I cheated a bit with X--I included some "X-mas" ephemera.
