January...So, you think the holidays are over?? Well, guess what?? January is "Hot Tea Month"!! Check out this page to see the interesting days we can celebrate together in January. For this swap you will choose at least 2 of the wacky holidays listed at the above site, plus Hot Tea Month itself, and figure out something to send your partner to help celebrate those days. So, 3 items total.(Other months we may include more days... because of Christmas I am keeping this one smaller) Try to work something literary into at least one of the days, as well...not necessarily a book. Examples: an obvious choice would be some interesting tea bags for Hot Tea Month, or maybe a cute demitasse spoon? Or a small sugar bowl? A tea book? January fourth is Trivia Day... maybe a small trivia game? Or a book of random facts? The 18th is Winnie the Pooh Day... way too many choices there. :) The 23rd is National Handwriting Day... a lovely pen, a journal, a handwritten letter, a mystery novel where the detective analyzes the handwriting of serial killers... use your imagination! There are some truly awesome days there... it will be hard to choose only 3. (Feel free to do more) Check it out, even if you don't do the swap. There's National Nothing Day (DON'T just send nothing!! Use your imagination!:), Inspire Your Heart with Art Day, Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day, Backward Day... Your gifts cannot all be stickers or cards... and one item cannot count for two days. One item, one day. Make it a diverse and intersting parcel, something really fun to open (although, with this group, a box of books and tea would probably be considered a gift from Heaven!) It doesn't need to cost a lot of money. You can find plenty of fun things that are inexpensive. You can make some of the things if you want. So I won't put a minimum cost on here. It may cost you just a few dollars, or you might want to spend more. But it WILL take a little thought and organization on your part to make it special. The key is make it a package you would love to receive, something that will really make your partner smile. So... one partner, one package, at least 3 items which represent Hot Tea Month and at least two special January days. Got it? Because of Christmas stress, I will put the send-by date back a bit... it will be okay if we celebrate a few of the early wacky days a bit late (if you are sending something that needs to be used that day, like party hats for New Year's Eve, make sure you allow enough time to get it there early!) No one in our group should have unexplained ones or threes, so everyone should be able to join. PM if you have questionable ratings... Flakers will be ousted so don't flake!! We want to keep our Cup and Chaucer family together! (Oops, I did forget to give credit... the original idea for this was from @craftygirl who hosts something similar monthly! She has given us permission to use and alter it. :) | |
