Description:

This is how the swap goes: You take a handbag/purse/smallish tote bag and fill it with things you would usually carry in your bag.

The handbag or purse should be in very good condition. You can send a used one, as long as it is in very good shape. Please do not send anything you would not like getting!!!

The contents of the bag can be anything that you would carry in your bag. BE CREATIVE!

Example: note paper and pen, sunglasses, lip balm, lotion,samples, hair accessories, kleenex, stickers, pack of gum, etc. there must be at least 5 items in the bag.

Try to spend at least 10 dollars for this swap before shipping! If this swap is too expensive , DO NOT SIGN UP!

Rules: use items that you have at home, as long as they are in very good condition, wrapped, clean, unused, not expired or broken. You can send coupons or gift cards, as long as they are from an international online store. (like Amazon or iTunes)

Do not send garbage, like scraps of paper, old receipts, ticket stubs, take-out menus, etc. most people have no use for this.

To everyone that signs up: Even though this swap is not profile based, it's fun to send something your partner likes. Please check your own profile, fill in the blanks, especially if you are allergic or really dislike something. I will check profiles and email everyone before assigning partners. If I don't get a response, I must ban you from the swap.

I have been flaked on, on an expensive swap and do not want this to happen to you. You must have a rating of 4.95 or 5 to participate for this very reason.

Thank you for participating!

(I edited the text of the swap, after a swapper told me I had copied the wording of her swap. I am sorry about that, I didn't know that it was forbidden to copy some phrases of a different swap. If you have any concerns, please message me. I also set the sign-up date and sending date a little later, to give you time to confirm your paticipation)

Does the bag must be new? I mean would any vintage\second hand\thrift store bought bags would be fine? :)

Brendasue 07/ 7/2012 #

The bag does not have to be new, but should be in very good condition. Just think of what you would like to receive, we all don't want to get junk in the mail:)

Brendasue 07/14/2012 #

Can the handbag be homemade?

Brendasue 07/16/2012 #

The bag can be homemade, as long as it's a handbag or purse pattern, not just a simple tote without a closing. The site sew4home has some nice patterns.

What do you consider a tote to be? A beah tote/small drawstring type tote?

Brendasue 07/19/2012 #

A tote is a bag without a closure. Beach bag or drawstring bag is not considered a handbag or purse.

fifisHQ2012 07/20/2012 #

can it be like a large wet bag? or must it have handles?

EvetteOgden 07/20/2012 #

You mention at the beginning of the description that it could be a small tote. Are you now saying it cannot be a tote? Please decide soon.

fifisHQ2012 07/21/2012 #

I am posting in the morning.....my bag doesnthave handles but is profile based x

sim 07/26/2012 #

Uhm... I agree with @EvetteOgden as I was planning for that kind of bag. And I see there is still no response from the coordinator

Brendasue 07/30/2012 #

Sorry for not responding right away, but I'm not on swap-bot everyday and can't see that you had questions. If you'd sent me a private message, I could answer faster. A handbag is a bag with handles and something to close the bag with. If your totebag fits that discription, then thats ok. A make-up pouch is not considered a handbag or purse.

Its a tad late now iv posted and am having problrms....

Brendasue 08/ 1/2012 #

I just hope my partner likes hers, I just spent over 20 $ just for shipping. :(

ReneeinPittsburgh 08/ 6/2012 #

My purse is going to be a litttle late due to the price of shippping. I plan to mail it tomorrow. Yes, I sent my partner a message too.
