Last day to signup/drop:March 27, 2011

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Since this swap is based on possibly most of the things needing ordered in the mail, there will be a shorter span for signup and a longer span until the actual due date. There will be 4 categories with choices. We have to pick one item from each category, so.......... you will end up ordering or shopping for 4 items total for your partner. It can be a mystery which of the four items you choose to send, but the style or design or color should match your partners profile wants in the best way possible. CATEGORY ONE~~~~A magnet, keychain, pendant - jewelry charm, cellphone charm or earrings~~~~ CATEGORY TWO~~~~A package or really nice mixed bundle of notecards, a stationery set or letterset, a notepad, or a list-memo that a letter or a note can be written on~~~~~~ CATEGORY THREE~~~~ a cute/pretty/neat pen, decorated roll of tape, a package(s) of stickers, a rubberstamp, make-up/pencil pouch (to keep stickers or pens in) ~~~~~CATEGORY FOUR~~~~~Your own choice item, or something in addition from the above categories~~~~THINK favorites, meaning if your partner likes for example cats, consider buying something in that theme.

ONCE YOUR PARTNER IS ASSIGNED----you can either shop for them online (or in a store if you have access to a variety any of these things.) Try to make sure that the thing you choose from each category is something you really think your partner would enjoy. Read their profiles and shop accordingly. And try not to order from a place that is famous for being slow to mail out orders. I have ordered online alot and I think we should have time to gather.

NO MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM PRICE LIMIT~~~~I am not putting any price requirements in here. Just do not send cheap or unusable things that you yourself would not want to receive. Items must be clean, new and chosen to be unique for your partner.

CONSIDER~~~~Be considerate when choosing in the category with the earrings included - pm your partner for styles, preferences or allergies. If they do not wear earrings, pick another item. :) PROFILES~~~~Please make sure too that if your profile is not clear about what types of things you love or collect that you edit it and do just that after signing for this swap. It is almost impossible to pick something profile based if favs are not on profiles! :)

RATING REQUIREMENTS~~~~I usually always allow newbies in my swaps, but since this one requires, time, thought and money in some cases, NO UNRATED SWAPPERS will be allowed in this one, newer people with at least 5 positive ratings (and not all email ratings, you need to have been rated for mailed swaps) will be considered, (please pm me though first) and established swappers must have a 4.8, no RECENT MULTIPLE 3's and 1's will be able to join. The only exception to any of this would POSSIBLY be if it is someone that has swapped with me and I feel they are reliable. I can't angel all of these categories and it would not be fair to ask anyone else to. Thus the rules. Have fun. Questions are welcome below, but please do not try to get me to change my whole swap by using the comment section :)

many of this stuff I can get from stores near me,. is that ok..

piglet59645 03/23/2011 #

It certainly is okay. I cannot here, so I use the mail orders for access and variety. I am just thinking that once I know who my partner is, it will give me a better idea of what I have access too.

Is it alright if we include items we make (quality, wellmade) instead of store bought ones?

piglet59645 03/23/2011 #

I usually always allow quality home made in my swaps--but I am thinking since this is an order and/or shopping type swap that we should stay away from that for the most part this time. (For the fourth item, "ONLY IF" your partner is okay with it, I suppose the ONE item could be a quality handmade.) Thanks for asking.

FYI for my partner... Category 1: I don't really wear earrings :)

piglet59645 03/27/2011 #

I love tiny earrings, but they have to be nickel free, not expensive, just nickel free, the tinier the better. :)

piglet59645 03/27/2011 #

I am actually kind of looking forward to assigning partners, so I can have a great idea on what themes to look for!
