CandyStar 08/20/2007

Got something in a swap that is fabulous but not your style? Have too many atcs/mix cds/etc. piling up? Receive something pink but you hate pink? Get one of those Christmas presents from a relative who obviously doesn't know you?

This is the tag for you!!

I will post 4 things that I want to regift, and you select one from the list that you'd liek to receive! Then you post 4 things that you want to regift, and another person will select one of those they would like to receive! Etc. etc. :)

When you claim an item, make sure to send the person a message with your address and which item you claimed, and also which tag it was from!

If you would like to, explain why you're regifting.

Also - don't put up GARBAGE! Only offer things that someone (other than you!) would like to reecive.

Ready? Set... GO!

Here's my list:

  1. Lemon Mint massage oil (handmade by the fabulous swap-botter Carmen!) - Loved this swap, but not a big fan of lemon, or mint... haha
  2. 2 mary Englebert notecards, and 2 country-ish sunflower notecards - just not my style...
  3. Black spiral hardback journal with a rainbow swirl thing on it... got it from my aunt for Christmas who thinks I"m a hippie - retail value is $12.95 soooo this is a nice notebook
  4. Lurlene McDaniel Book "Always and Forever" - friend's mom bought this for me... don't like sad stories.

:D enjoy!

MissThundercat 08/22/2007

I love this idea jesse, that's why i bumped it ;)

and saalis, i'd like the journal :)

I am offering;

  • DVD Shrek 2 (region 2, Europe)- Someone gave it to me while I already had it, but didn't find out until recently, lol!
  • a 'dangly' bracelet with orange beads - it's really pretty, just too big for my taste
  • a medium scrapbooking photoalbum (polkadotted) with scrapbooking info booklet (includes paper frames, pretty papers, letterstickers etc) - i don't really do scrapbooking, though i like to use the supplies for ATC's. this is a complete set
  • An ipod shuffel (the old style) protector/cover in white, it's a chique leathery looking thing - i have no use for it since i have several ipod covers and i have this one already in red and black!

Please PM with address and choice, thanks!

MissThundercat 08/22/2007

LMeowkin 08/24/2007

I could be wrong...but isn't this a regifting swap, meaning things more like "fluorescent pink journal," or "radical country music cd," rather than "10 sheets of blah blah" and "bunch of blah blah"???

Anam 08/24/2007

I'm gonna second that sentiment. Time to re read the swap description, me thinks!

Anke 08/24/2007

Um, the swap description says this is for stuff you received as a gift but don't use, so, why would it not be OK to pass on paper you received from someone else but are not going to use?

LMeowkin 08/24/2007

Anke, because stuff you receive that you don't use would be still in the package (more than likely). The description of these items reveal them to be better fitted to other swap tag games, not this one. "A bunch of" and "ten sheets of" represent remnants of items, which as I understand the first post, is not what this swap is about.

Ilovekawaii 08/24/2007

Not everything is new and comes in packages that you get from people? So exmaple: if you get 10 papers of stationery of the same kind that you don't like.. Why not regifting?

LMeowkin 08/24/2007

That's a good point! However, if one uses the first offer as an example, the items are of good value, not minimal value. And I guess that's my point.

I would just hate to see this thread disintegrate to items that are better suited for other swaps. After all, who would want to tag 10 sheets of paper and offer up something of value after that? I can buy ten sheets of paper for less money than it would cost to send out most of the stuff I'd want to regift.

So, that's my point, but yours is good as well!!!

MissThundercat 08/24/2007

i agree with LMeowkin on this one, this isn't a regular swaptag. I know that you can regift 10 papers of so and so, but i also believe the value of items offered on this swap are of a different kind. but since this candy star swap idea, i'd like to hear if she thinks that those items listed are considered part of regifting as in the swap rules, or not.

Kinderposht 08/25/2007

me too i didnt mean to cause such an uproar seriously i just dont like the paper ! come on!

Kinderposht 08/25/2007

all that stuff i recived and DONT want or LIKE so i dont really see a problem here other than VALUE?????

Kinderposht 08/26/2007

ill take the 2 packets of Sanrio stickers

i will offer

Whole bunch or paperish flowers

3 atcs (not made by me)

a bunch of sunflower letter paper

Please PM with choice and address. Thanks!

Artistic 08/26/2007

Kinderposht: I tag you for the whole bunch of paperish flowers!

I offer:

a red, white, blue-themed mini altered journal (not made by me)

5 ATCs (not made by me)

3 bookmarks (not made by me)

10 items (my choice) of not-made-by me papercrafts

PM me with choice and see first post for game rules.

CandyStar 08/26/2007

OKay I've tried to post this 3 times... swap-bot hates me, it's not showing up:

Basically - paper is a perfectly acceptable item to regift, as I have received paper in swaps that I didn't like. However, as with all tags - you should post items of the same value as that you are receiving.

So... not to cause trouble, but the real issue here is when shopinc claimed a whole scrapbooking set and offerred atcs and stickers in return... I think that for receiving stickers, stationery is acceptable in return (although 10 sheets is a little low - maybe 15 or 20 in return for sanrio stickers)...

And, to try to fix this...

I claim the ATCs!!

And offer:

  1. Bunch of mix cds I got, ripped to my computer, and no longer need
  2. Ice cream themed set... a pink ice cream scooper and some awesome smelling raspberry sorbet body wash
  3. Diddl memo pad
  4. Tiny pocket-sized gift book called "Best things in life start with J" - has quotes and stuff, along with an unopened pack of J-shaped flourescent post-it notes.

But just use discretion.. this isn't a big-high-dollar tag or anything, but try to keep it fair.
