Description:

It seems as if the majority of swaps on here lately are postcard or ATC swaps, and while I enjoy those, I LOVE a themed parcel swap that you can really sink your teeth into. I think there's nothing more fun than having to shop around for items that pertain to a theme and then putting them all together in a fit-to-burst parcel for someone. :)

I'm hoping to regularly create these sort of themed swaps, and this first one is a FRUIT THEMED SWAP! I've seen a lot of really cute fruity items in stores lately and so I think it should be easy to find lots of great stuff for your swap partner.

Of course I don't mean for you to send ACTUAL fruit! Just things that feature fruits in some way, for instance: accessories, fabric and ribbons, stationery, little household items, coinpurses, keychains, fruit-shaped candies, fruit-flavoured lipbalms, stickers...all sorts! There's a wealth of cute and kitschy fruity-related things out there once you start looking for them!

You'll be allocated one partner for this swap and you'll send them a nice big colourful parcel full of fruity items. I think there are a lot of swaps already that cater for people with a preference for very small spending limits, so mine will be a bit more generous and will have a minimum of £15 ($25). Obviously not everyone will be prepared to spend as much on a swap, but I personally find small spending limits much too restrictive, and I wanted to host swaps that are a bit more indulgent! Please only sign up if you understand that my swaps are best for those of you that enjoy putting together larger parcels and don't begrudge spending a little extra to make it perfect for your partner!

All of the usual guidelines apply: Please only send new or as-new items that you'd like to receive yourself, take your partner's likes and dislikes into account, and make sure everything is nicely and securely packaged.

Open to anyone with over 5 completed Type 2/3 swaps, no unexplained 1 or 3 ratings, and a reasonably well filled-out profile.

Happy swapping! :)

Would it be OK for any of the items in the swap to be handmade?

Sounds fun!! I can't join in this time because of travel plans, but I'd love to join in on the next one!

@lotti02 Definitely! As long as they're something you'd be pleased to receive yourself. :)
