Private: Advent Envelopes & Gift

For this swap we will be creating and mailing 24 envelopes with goodies tucked inside. Each envelope must be either handmade, and/or embellished.

Really be creative. Envelopes can be all one size, or different sizes. Envelopes can be made from paper bags, scrapbook paper, regular envelopes, or even hand sewn. Envelopes must each be marked & numbered a day of the month of December: 1st- 24th.

To get ideas to fill your envelopes for your partner, first check their profile for their likes and dislikes. If you still need a few ideas, here are some that come to mind ( thank you @BabsMomof5 !):

Stickers

Washi tape samples wrapped around plastic playing cards

Handmade gift tags

Fiber, ribbon, or bakers twine samples

If your partner makes ATC's how about tucking in ome you've made, some images, background papers, or cardstock blanks

If your partner likes to read, maybe a bookmark, a list of books you love, a quick note about your favorite author, or maybe even a photocopy of a page from the book you are reading

You could include a short letter to your partner in one envie

Maybe a page from a a magazine with a great holiday decorating idea, or recipe

A holiday themed puzzle

The list is endless! There is no dollar amount assigned to the countdown portion of this swap, but please put a lot of time and thought into what you make, and what you fill your envies with. Send only something that you would be DELIGHTED to receive. Handmade items and destash items are fine if your partner would like those type things but also include a few new store bought goodies.

Envelopes can be single envies, or they can be bound into a book. The main key word here is CREATIVE! Be creative in the way you make or embellish your envies, and be creative in what you fill them with, so that you really wow your partner!

In addition, we will each purchase a $10 gift for our partner to open on Christmas day, this may be one item, or several packaged together- please mark the package "25", "Christmas Day" or something to distinguish it from each of the other envelopes.
