Description:

When I'm driving (or riding) home from being out, I'm always excited to check my mailbox--I know you are too! Sometimes, if it's a super great mail day (lots of swap-bot mail), I'll make a cup of tea and sit down to open my mail--a little ritual. I know I'm not alone.

So . . . for this swap you'll have 1 partner. You'll send all 3 items in one large envelope. Here are the requirements:

  • include a tea bag (factory sealed) of your favorite tea

  • write a note--on a notecard--just a newsy little note about whatever you'd like. This notecard will be enclosed in its OWN envelope and tucked in the larger envelope

  • send an inexpensive surprise--wrapped so it's a surprise. "Wrapped can be wrapped in paper, tissue paper--anything that hides the surprise. This isn't meant to be anything expensive.

  • on the OUTSIDE of the envelope, write TEA NOTE & SURPRISE so your partner will know to put the kettle on before opening the envie!

So . . . when the kettle boils, open your envie, brew your tea, sit down and read your note and open your surprise. Fun!

Can the outer envelope be a small box (such a smarties box) instead?

ohhh i wish so much this was USA only ... maybe next time... i hope i hope ...

@catherine yes, that's just fine! But remember to write, 'TEA NOTE & SURPRISE" on the outside no matter the vehicle you choose for mailing!

@slamophile I will most definitely host a USA only version in the next round.

thanks to @lou for reminding me to check for questions!

Im allergic to chamomile herb and berries if my partner is able to avoid this and maybe send an alternate favorite tea if it has one of those in it. If not at least I get a lovely note and surprise :)
