6 gifts 1 theme - #75 - Swapping supplies

Who doesn't like gifts? They are perhaps one of the best things in life, no matter the occasion. In this swap series, no matter who is hosting it and what the theme is, you get one partner, and to this partner you send 6 individually wrapped gifts, all according to the swap theme. You are required to rate your partner as soon as you get your gifts, no matter if you are going to open them at once or not. Some may save these gifts for a special occasion, as stocking stuffers or as part of advent calendars (joining 4 of these swaps will make one whole advent calendar!), it's all up to the recipient =)

PLEASE think about the fact that this is something that is going to be in someones living area for quite a long time, so please make it as pretty as you can. You are NOT allowed to use envelopes to "wrap" this swap. Feel free to "cheat" by using any kind of gift bags (like organza or cellophane) or other ready made stuff, just remember that it has to survive transit. If you can; please add some way to hang the gifts, many of us hang them on hooks or rings on the Christmas tree! Just make sure the hanging mechanism can hold the gift without it falling to the ground.

You are REQUIRED to mark all the gifts with what swap it is and who it is from. This does not have to be a big operation with hand made gift tags and such (unless you really want to), just write with a marker on the tape you used to wrap the gift with or something like that =)

The theme for this swap is:

Swapping supplies! Anything you might need for swapping goes.

Some ideas on what to send:

• Pens/Markers/Pencils
• Address labels
• Envelopes (especially hand made/decorated!)
• Swap cards
• Note cards
• Letter sets
• Small, decorative paper to write messages on
• Address book
• Mail themed rubber stamps to decorate envelopes with
• Unused postage from your partners country
• Generic postcards (no tourist cards unless it is asked for)
• Nice and sturdy small ziplocks
• That thing YOU can't do swapping without!

The value of the gifts for this swap should be about 2$US per gift, some can be less and others more, but the total sum to spend on each partner is at least 10$. It is a senders choice swap, within the theme of course.

If you want to host one of these swaps, let me know!
