Description:

No comment at the bottom will have you removed from the swap.


This is just like the title says, you are going to be a not so secret Santa!


Amazon and Etsy are highly encouraged, unless you want to go out and find your partner something local to wrap and send directly


--I don't like having to say this, but I am seeing a lot of 3s and 1s going out lately when they shouldn't be. If you check the side panel - View participant, you can see when your partner says they sent things.-- From there add 8 weeks...YES, 8 weeks. The USPS has admitted to slowing down flat rate mail and upping the costs of packages for the holiday season.


Minimum 20$ gift limit, wrapped / not wrapped is up to you.


Guidelines: This should be a gift!

Not some random things from your stash unless it's unopened/nothing missing item.

Should be something you would love to receive

Should require some thought and be tailored to your partners likes.

Ask your partner questions, look at a wish list, read their profile; find your partner a fun Christmas / Holiday Gift


After my second year hosting this and seeing all the things that I did, I am going to add more steps!


Step One#

In the comments below please tell us about you. + Your likes
+ Dislikes!
+ Favorite things: colors, snacks / candy
+ Wishlist! Mandatory
+ Mandatory - Do you want something from your Wishlist or to be surprised?

This will be checked at the time of assigning, if there is no comment you will be removed.


Step Two#

Does your partner only want things off the Wishlist or do they want to be surprised. - be sure to read their comment before going shopping.


After these two steps have been done, you can proceed to finding your partner that perfect gift!

This gift should not be stickers slapped on tags, misc. pieces from your stash that you want to get rid of ETC.

This gift can include stationery that you have never opened! Only if it meets your partners likes. But I must add that if you do this it only counts as a few dollars off your 20$ minimum.


Finally, I shouldn't have to say this; but if you can't afford 20$ gift or 10$ shipping (Total of 30$) Please don't join this exchange.


This is a time for you to be creative and! YOU get a month lead time to get something together and send it just in time for the holidays.


Rate a 5 only after you have opened your package!! as long as you got something worth at least 20$ inside.

Am hoping that there is communication going on here to make this a better year for this exchange.


Remember to include somewhere that this if for Christmas/Holiday Gift Exchange.


--I will be checking profiles to ensure success and fun for everyone.--


Everyone will be checked for location, activity, and ratings.



I can't believe I am having to add this. If I find people are rating "ones" unfairly, 3 months after the swap was sent, are noncommunicative, etc. You will no longer be welcome in my swaps.

I’d love something from my wishlist, but I’d be happy with a surprise gift too. It took me quite a bit of time to figure out my wishlists, anything you pick I would love!

My profile has likes and wish list, also link to my Amazon and Etsy wishlist. I don’t care if the gift is from a list or if it’s a surprise! My favorite colors are blue, yellow, red. Candies I like: honestly it may be easier to list candies I don’t like because I like just about everything! Anything chocolate or caramel, peanut butter, fruity, whatever!

divamagenta 11/ 2/2023 #

My likes and Amazon wishlist are in my profile. I'm totally open to either a surprise or an item from my list! I do love tea, but have plenty at the moment, and not really needing any new mugs either. If you're thinking of food gifts, I'd prefer quality over quantity: Godiva or other high quality chocolates, gourmet hot chocolate mixes, flavored coffees or coffee syrups (ground or K-cup - prefer darker roasts), sausage and cheese gift sets, British candies/snacks, etc. Thank you so much in advance - I know I will enjoy whatever you decide to send! 😀

My profile is up to date, and I have an Amazon wishlist. I’m very easy to please…. If it makes me say Aww…. It’s good!!! If you read my profile, there are many ideas!!! I do currently have more than enough Diamond Art Paintings, so if you can avoid that, and cross stitch items. I’m overflowing with that kind of stuff. I love surprises, so wherever you choose to picky from or buy from is good with me!! One item or several little ones!!! Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!! As long as you read my profile and this paragraph, I think you’ll be fine choosing something for me!! It means a LOT to me knowing that someone put forth an effort to choose something just for me!! Happy Shopping!!!

Eulegirl 11/ 3/2023 #

Profile has lots of likes and only a couple of dislikes. I love owls, cats, dragons. I enjoy drinking tea, coffee treats, or hot chocolate and curling up with a good book. I love to cook and bake (though I wish had more time and energy to do those things). I enjoy bath products and things that smell good. Surprises can be fun. I like candy, especially dark chocolate. I love caramel and mint. I'm a big cheese fan, but I'm not sure that is exactly mailable. My cat Aspect would love you if you included a little catnip treat for her and/or some crinkle paper.

If I had to put a few wishlist items, those would include a letter opener, tiara, or fascinator.

Brokenwings87 11/ 4/2023 #

I love the surprise and the thought put into this, my profile has a lot of information on it. If it's overwhelming please don't be afraid to ask me questions.

I do a lot of reading, crafting (crochet, pen paling, writing, paper collecting, yarn and paper! hey don't judge it's an addiction all on its own).
