Description:

This lucky parcel swap is designed around strawberries!

What is a lucky parcel? It's a little bag, box or container, decorated or clear, that contains lovely items that match a theme.

What kind of things do you put in a lucky parcel? Notepads Papers Keychains Magnets Stamps Embroidery thread Fabric Buttons Pouches Snacks/treats Pins Stickers Handmade items

Basically it's anything that is related to the theme, and this theme is strawberries. So most everything needs to be strawberry related. Add in extras or tailor to your partner for a heart.

Tailoring to your partner is preferable, but not required.

Here we're looking for QUALITY things that are cute and fun, and something your partner will love to receive!

You will only have ONE partner, so you should really make this a great swap! There's no price limit or requirement here.

This swap IS international.

For ideas for your parcel, look on Flickr.

If this swap get enough response there will be more!

Requirements: 4.9+ --- NO no sends, ever. I reserve the right to ban at any time. Newbies not welcome, sorry! I like to make sure that EVERYONE who sends, GETS.

By the way everyone. At least 4 items minimum. That's pretty reasonable, right?

TeaNi 07/ 2/2008 #

I'm very inteested in this swap, but could use a little more guidance- could you tell me about what size/dimensions the container should be? Thanks:)

Don't make your lucky parcel smaller than 3x6 (like a mini change purse) ideally let's go for 6x6 or bigger.

Oh that's so sad! I can't join cause I'm a newbie :( strawberries are one of my favourite things. If this is popular, maybe you could host another one with a diff fruit theme so that i can join!

dreamrains 07/11/2008 #

Certainly :) I think there will be more lucky parcels in the near future ^_^

SMBee 07/11/2008 #

I think I might have to drop this swap because international postage might be too much for me. If anybody in the US is interested in doing a one on one version pelase PM me. Thanks!

no handmade items for me, thanks!

NaomiRisa 07/12/2008 #

tailoring to partner's preference is not necessary right?

dreamrains 07/12/2008 #

That's right NaomiRisa. You don't have to tailor to your partner's profile.

dreamrains 07/15/2008 #

Miss kawaii you can't say what kind of items you want. If your partner doesn't send you handmade that's good for you but also consider that they might already have their package put together. If you do get handmade items you should still rate a five.

Remember all - just because you didn't LIKE your package doesn't mean you didn't GET a package. There's a difference. Threes and ones are for people who didn't get a package or it didn't FOLLOW swap requirements.

I think everyone will get a great package, though. You can't go wrong with strawberries :)

Thanks, dreamrains! :o)

TeaNi 07/15/2008 #

oooh, I agree with the statement "You can't go wrong with strawberries" so if anyone gets something they don't like, you an just forward it to me, heh ;P

I never received my package.

dreamrains 08/11/2008 #

The swap deadline is August 30th. If you still have not received your package after September 15th, you will be able to leave a "1" rating. Patience is key here on swap bot, your partner probably just hasn't sent theirs yet :)

Or a bit later if it's coming from overseas ;)

dreamrains 09/10/2008 #

If you have not received a parcel yet, I am aware that 2 people have not yet sent. I have messaged them :) Hopefully you have heard from them too!
