Description:

Is there someone in your life who may be a bit jealous of all your swap packages? Lets do a swap for them.

Here's how it works: In the comments section tell us the name (or names if you have kids) of the person to whom the package is going. Next write a wishlist for them. List at least 10 items under $5 each. Also please tell us how you know the person, like this is my husband, boyfriend, daughter, mom etc. Fell free to tell us as much as you want about your recipient. Also, list the name they know you by so we can let them know who's responsible for their wonderful package. If your chosen person doesn't live at your address and you want your package sent to a different address email it to me and I will pass it on to your sending partner. When March comes around and you are assigned your partner look below for their special person and wishlist. Choose 5 things from their list, and write a note so they know who loves them and is responsible for their package. I expect each person to spend about $20 before shipping. This isn't a cheap swap.

This is an international swap. Ratings MUST be good, 4.6 or better. Because this is sort of up there in cost I'm not allowing people with no ratings to join. I'm sorry in advance, but this will insure everyone should get a package. I hope this is clear to everyone, just post below if you have any questions.

My person is my mom.

Thank you again

What a GREAT idea for a swap! My person is my husband, Jason. 1. Kit Kat (I hear there's a new mocha flavored Kit Kat out there that I can't find and he hasn't tried yet....he loves regular Kit Kats, just giving an idea to take the Kit Kat to the next level) :) 2. licorice nibs or chocolate licorice (can usually find this at Walgreens) 3. Starbucks gift card 4. computer magazine (or something techy) 5. energy drink and/or bar 6. CD with great workout songs on it (homemade is great) 7. anything to do with Linux (articles, items, Tux penguin) 8. hot chocolate or apple cider mix 9. socks - black, navy, or gray dress casual socks or white sports socks 10. information about Zoysia grass (he wants to rip out all of our grass and start over with Zoysia, so loves reading about it).

sarachattom 03/ 9/2007 #

What an awesome idea! My 8 year old son opens my packages for me and wants them all! (Well, except for the really girly stuff, that is!) We've been looking for kid swaps so he could participate, too!

His name is Collin and he lives with me. (Jaspar's mom - Collin would love a penpal, contact me and we'll set it up!)

Things he would like.

  1. Anything ART related (papers, pens, markers, stickers, stencils, clay, beads, you name it!)
  2. Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto. (Not my fave - but he likes them.)
  3. VW Beetles (Slug-Bug is our favorite driving game - but we don't slug each other - just call it out!)
  4. Rocks. Geodes, specifically.
  5. Robots. Or books about robots.
  6. Anything musical. He's currently going crazy with "Garage Band" on his iMac!
  7. Sports stuff - footballs, soccer balls, etc.
sarachattom 03/ 9/2007 #

Oh yeah - I forgot. He is my bonus-son, so when you're writing the "love note" please specify that it's from "Sara - Your Bonus-Mom."

SDDoula 03/ 9/2007 #

Hi! I love this idea. My boyfriend is always wanting to see what I am making, and loves to see what I get. He would be so surprised to get something for himself. I love it! His name is Jason. He is into making art (oil, acrylic, wood, stained glass etc) and crafts, anything outdoorsy, good movies, playing (kid at heart), animals, manly stuff (dude flicks/wrestling/surfing/skating) , and he knits. He is a pretty happy guy just about all the time and he is currently sporting a frohawk (like an almost mohawk) oh yeah and he hates sweets except for Twizzlers.(terrible isn't it?)

1-Black T-shirts size Large 2-Hair Gel (any kind, just strong) 3-Cocoa beans (before being processing to chocolate, pronounced ko-cow?) 4-Any food that is good for you (even better if it's weird looking) 5-any kind of puzzle books (you can find at 99 cent store) brain teasers 6-Sudoku puzzles 7-any pens (he always steals mine and loses them!) 8- Yoga, stretching, working out (anything to help him remember to do it!) 9-Something to help him relax. Get creative! 10-Twizzlers 11-Starbucks card 12-Socks white

well I could go on and on. I hope it wasn't too specific. I promise to send out a really good package for this one! I am so excited!

Thank you, Chelsea Burris

user5860 03/ 9/2007 #

alwaysjoy 03/22/2007 #

LucyEllen, I just wanted you to know that I did catch the Steve/Cindy note and I sent your husband's package out a few days ago I hope you have it safely by now. I was a little nervous of things getting damaged

JWJW2 03/22/2007 #

Anisa - I just sent a package out today (from NC) for Graeme. I hope he likes it! :)

lucyellen 03/22/2007 #

AlwaysJoy - thanks for the heads up - I'll be looking for it. It's still on it's way I guess. :0)

lucyellen 03/28/2007 #

Alwaysjoy - your package arrived safely - more thanks to follow. :0)
And Embla your package is on it's way - I hope that it doesn't take forever to go overseas -

Panda,

Collin got your package this weekend, and LOVED it! He immediately started to work on art projects - made every member of the family a headband with the pipe cleaners. His baby sister's had a flower, dad's had music notes, and mine had stars and moons. His had a sword! It was so funny - you should have seen it. We took pictures, and I'll get them posted soon - hopefully!

Thanks again for such a thoughtful package.

Sara
