Description:

We have lots of new members incoming, let’s all get to know each other! Please review your partner’s profile and send them at least 5 things relating to their likes and interests. They don’t all have to be odd/quirky/“geeky” but at least 2 of the 5 should be. Please give generous amounts wherever possible, and try to avoid your partner’s dislikes. Add a brief note saying hi and a little bit about yourself!

I don’t think you’ll have any problems finding things - all members must have detailed profiles to join this group. But you can also ping me if you’re struggling with your partner’s profile and I can provide some items to get you to your 5 items (goddess knows I have enough random crap in this house!). I will also angel if needed.

When rating your partner for this swap, please give them a 5 if they sent 5 items that were mentioned in your profile, even if those things aren’t exactly to your taste. So if you like Harry Potter and your partner sends you a Hufflepuff sticker, but you’re actually a Gryffindor - it still counts as a 5 rating!

Open to all US members in good standing (no recent 1s or 3s). When you sign up, please take a second to review your own profile and make sure you have updated likes and interests.

I’m sorry this is for US folks only, but please feel free to host an international version! All group members are officers and can host swaps.

Since this swap potentially involves some pretty specific, niche items, would you consider giving more time so that we could order things?

Hi Fenriss - I’ve edited the swap to add an extra 10 days before mailing, so that should help. But I also want to mention for everyone that the items you send can be related to your partner’s interests, and don’t have to be laser-focused on them.

For example, I like sci-fi and fantasy themes. I named a few shows in my profile, and my partner certainly give me something related to those, but they could also give me some rocket shaped stickers, or washi with dragons on it, or a postcard showing a mad scientist’s lab, etc. etc. Or - I like Lisa Frank, but something with that vibe would make me happy, it doesn’t have to be that brand exactly.

I don’t want anyone feeling like they would need to buy lots of things in order to participate. You might have more than you know that’s already in your stash or free online. And also keep in mind that not all of the items need to be themed. So I’m hoping this will actually be a pretty chill/non-fussy swap. But I appreciate questions, it really helps me understand where I need to clarify! (I have a 6 year old talking to me non-stop all day, so sometimes I’m a little bit distracted).
