Pick-Me-Up Presents

We all have down days, those times when we feel blue and in dire need of a pick-me-up. Some people keep a basket or box of wrapped gifts for just those occasions.

For this USA swap, you'll have two partners. Send each partner three wrapped surprises that can help brighten a low day. Profile-checking is encouraged, but this is a sender's choice swap.

Label each gift as a pick-me-up and include your name/forum name.

If you would like to include a card, note, reading, or other greeting in each package, feel free to do so. But this is not a requirement.

Regarding cost, the total for each person should be in the $6- $8 range, excluding postage. (You can, of course, create a higher value package if you'd like or send more than three items. However, know that what you receive may strictly follow the guidelines.)

USA only due to potential postal costs.

Recap:

• two partners

• send three wrapped and labeled gifts to each partner

• spending/value recommendation $6- $8 per person (for an overall total of six gifts with total value of $12- $16). The values of each item don't have to be equal. If, for example, you find something terrific on clearance for a quarter or 50 cents --it happens!-- you have more to spend on another item.

Participants should have at least 10 Type 3 swaps and a rating of at least 4.95.

I review profiles before partners are assigned; and will angel if necessary. Since this is a swap to brighten (not darken) your partners' days, I trust there will be no flaking.
