CF Christmas Advent Countdown

I LOVE counting down the days until Christmas.

Find 12 small items each, for two partners... check your partner’s profile for ideas, or purchase, or make, items you think will be enjoyed even though they arent mentioned on the profile. (Check for dislikes and dont send those) Youll purchase or make 12 small items for each lady. These can be from the size of the tiniest box you can imagine, up to the size of a small book. (It makes a prettier display with various sizes, most of them being smaller, and not many with irregular shapes, so they stack easily) Wrap each item in christmas wrap, and add your swap-bot name somewhere. If there is a particular order they should be opened in, note that somewhere, clearly.

Make things, upcycle, or purchase. Dollar Tree can be a great resource for this swap.

Mail all 12 wrapped items to each partner, including your swap-bot name. Once you have received your items from others, label them with numbers 1-24, and stack them in a christmas tree shape on a cake plate, or just tumble them into a large pretty bowl, and display on your counter until December 1st. Open one gift each day in December, and thank God for not only the wonderful gift of his son, but also the gifts of friendship and fun!

Rate as soon as the swap is received, if it seems to have been sent on time, and you can edit your rating Christmas day or throughout the month, if needed.

(Some ideas to get you thinking, if you are stuck, depending on the partners you get: handmade or purchased bookmark, earrings or pin, deck of cards, glue stick (for crafters), small wrapped chocolates (you can buy a pkg and send a few for this project), candle, tin of mints, a favorite beverage pack, postcards, a tiny charm, postage stamp(s), lip balm, colored shoe laces, mittens, a devotional, mini markers, a colored pen, an atc, a tiny frame with a picture youve made, car freshener, roll of washi tape, Christmas tree ornament, I could go on for hours, but you get the idea. A tiny something, price doesn’t matter.)
