..:: Tea Kit ::..

What a great idea! I am so in for this. :) :)

I love this idea! A lot of different options yet an easy swap!

Bought my coaster!!

What a great swap!

(I collect "stolen" coasters from bars and restaurants, so I'm totally cool with a free one! I also like new ones, so whatever I get is fine with me!)

No plain tea for me.. the more exotic the better! I am totally cool with "free" coasters!

I love free coasters too! If have a drink mark, better!

I'm in! I can't wait :) I hope I get a partner that likes homemade things...the bookmark and coaster I send will both be hand-made. I hope to get the same in return. After all, seeing others work is why I swap!

Oh, and no plain tea or chai please!

Yay! We made the top 10!

I love this idea. I like chai teas. Mandrian Orange. YUMMY! Lol..Hugs, Poem

When you say packet... do you mean box or individually packetted tea bag?

Don't want to look too picky, but I can't abide tea with licorice in it - however, my husband will drink them if it comes to that. My favorites are flavored white teas or herbal teas.

I buy my teas loose and packed in little tins (adiagoteas.com). Would anyone mind receiving tea like that? If that would be acceptable I'd love to join. camelsamba, they have a white pear tea that is soooo yummy.

Funny, I was making new bookmarks yesterday! :) Patti

So sorry to be picky, but I don't want any loose tea or coasters from bars/restaurants.

ok this is my first swap here i am excited. i am not picky anything is great :) Sherre

Yankee, I'm in the same boat! I hope I get a handmade lover! ><

This is my first swap here, too. I'm really looking forward to it. Anything will be fine, but I would love handmade items. :)

This is such a fun idea! I've had a great time searching for ideas for homemade coasters. Looking forward to my first swap! :D

I would love to get anything handmade too. :-)

I'm doing handmade. I don't like loose tea and prefer teas: plain, vanilla, etc. I don't like mango or similiar strong or sour-y/bitter flavor. If you don't have tea, cocoa would be an okay substitute if the coordinator ok's it.

If is possible i would love to get a free coaster!!!! I prefer bagged tea too! Thanks in advance!

mine will be home made

Mine will be homemade and I'd love homemade as well, if you can find the time and evergy, of course. And I am allergic to black and green teas, unfortunately, so if you have, herbal or spice would be great.

I'm doing home made in your choice of colors/themes, my mystery swapper friend and will send any teas that you like. Patti

I am doing home made as well, as I have some great ideas already. Please no peppermint tea for me, as it makes me gag, other than that I am good for any kind really

so many picky people this almost makes me want to drop out of this swap. I will send part made and part collected. I hope people will be thrilled with whatever they get.

I agree with the above, here are the rules as stated above:

The coaster and the bookmark can be free (of bars, restaurants, bookstores, libraries), can be handmade or new. You decide!

No green tea for me, please, but I'm OK with any other tea. I'm a crafter so I'll be making hand-made items too. I'd prefer to rececive the same if possible.

I am joining ,reading the rules it sounds fun ! reading the comments , i guess I'll see! :o) peace I figure if someone sends me something I don't care for I can always give it to a friend. no need to fuss!

Hey people, when I said "2 individual packets of tea (different flavours)", it's just 2 individually packetted tea bag, to drink 2 cups of tea, not 2 boxes, OK?

And another thing: don't be so picky, people... this is to be an easy and fun swap, the rules are clear, but let your partner choose what to sent to you, and enjoy the surprise!!!!

115! Amazing!!!

Personally, I'm excited to get something in the mail that's not a bill, so I don't care if it's handmade, homemade, manmade, made by a 4 year old...whatever!! lol! Snowed in for the day, so I'll be finished putting together my kit by this afternoon~ weeee!! :)

mountaingirl, you are too much! You made me laugh! I agree with you on not getting bills and junk mail I have to recycle constantly. lol Tatipop, I think this was a super idea. If we get something we aren't crazy about we can just swap it some other time or surprise a friend! I just love tea and most people where I live only drink coffee. They see me drinking tea and just smile, or laugh. I am so excited to do this swap. I think you had a super great idea. Thanks so much!

Are you all mailing your packages in a plain envelope, or in a stiff envelope? I was going to do a regular one, but I wasn't sure if my coaster would get all bent up going through the sorting machines. Advice would be most welcome!

@nursechris glad I could give you a smile! @ Miditron: I put a piece of cardboard in my package to give it just a little bit more sturdiness, plus it's lightweight and didn't add much to the shipping. Hope this helps!

Thanks for putting my head right, didn't want to be picky. Forget about what I said up there. I'm happy to receive anything. This is my first swap and it was soo much fun putting together something for someone I only know through a little description.

A tea kit package is en route from the U.S. to my partner in Canada. Enjoy!

Am sick in bed, but the stuffed envelope is next to me, waiting for me to get out and mail it to my sweet partner in Canada. This was soo much fun (my first swap).
