Description:

Jingle Bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way down to the post office! Don't you just love Christmas? I absolutely love giving more than receiving, but my downfall, has always been my Christmas stocking. I adore opening all the tiny little goodies!

For this swap, you will buy and individually wrap 12 gifts for your partner. They do not HAVE to be profile based, but please try to cater to your partners likes and dislikes on their profile, as you do want them to enjoy their gifts! Each gift should be valued at no less than 1.00, and all gifts should be new. YOU WILL MAIL ALL 12 WRAPPED GIFTS IN ONE PACKAGE, NOT IN 12 SEPARATE PACKAGES.

The idea is to give your partner some little gifts that they can either place in their Christmas stocking to open at Christmas, or to have to open on the days leading up to Christmas. If the gift is one that needs to be opened before Christmas, please label it "open me!" (For instance handmade gift tags, your partner might need those before Christmas,) Otherwise, it will be recipients choice when to open their gifts.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, rate your partner when you receive your gifts in the mail! If you are uncomfortable rating before you open your gifts, then please, please, please send your partner a message to let them know you will rate them as soon as you have opened your gifts, and please label each gift you received with the swap name and your partners name so you will remember what gifts go with what swap...especially if you are in multiple stocking stuffer swaps. This will be on the receiver to do...not the senders responsibility!

Need some ideas? First check out your partners profile! Still need ideas? How about a pair of Christmas earrings, or a Christmas pin? Salt and pepper shakers can be cute and found for 1-2 a set. Washi tape rolls, an ornament, small box of chocolate, or good quality chocolate bar. Handmade Christmas gift tags, cards, or decorated envies. Travel size lotions, soft warm socks, bottle of nail polish, small Christmas decor. These are just a few ideas to jump start your mind, and should not be taken as an all inclusive list.

For this swap you must have completed at least 15 type 2 or 3 swaps. Absolutely no recent 1's or 3's and no 1's or 3's that went without a response. I reserve the right to remove anyone from this swap that does not meet the above guidelines, or that just gives me a hinky feeling.

Any questions? Please feel free to send me a message or post below. I will answer faster by private message, but I will address all comments posted below too!

You're welcome @khstarr10 I am super duper excited about this one too!

MiniQuilt 09/20/2014 #

My mind is already being creative!

institches 09/22/2014 #

Can some items be used, but in excellent condition? Like a Christmas pin or an ornament?

LittleDonnaGirl 09/24/2014 #

Really excited about this swap! :o) Can't wait!!!

lifeisgood 09/26/2014 #

Would we send one for 12 days or do we send them together? I have some vintage angel and holdiay pins - will that work?

NickyNightmare 09/29/2014 #

Do they all have to be christmas themed?

Heatherevans 10/ 2/2014 #

I can't wait. Love this idea :)

CANNEKCUL 10/ 4/2014 #

Can I send all gifts in one mailing but label each present 1-12? Don't want to sound stupid, but this will be one of my first swaps.

kgeslab 10/ 4/2014 #

Cannekcul, if this is to be one of your first swaps then you cannot join - you must have 15 type 2 or 3 swaps to join. Unfortunately, you also have to live in America ):

masharima 10/ 5/2014 #

Hi! I joined this Christmas swap, but I have a question:I've seeen this is USA located,but can anyone join if you're from another part of the world or is it just for people who live in usa?

Thank You very much!

Maria.

masharima 10/ 5/2014 #

Oh, sorry, I saw your answer from 10/04/2014....so, how can I leave the group?

Thanks!

Babsmomof5 10/ 6/2014 #

Let me address all the above questions/concerns...1. I will be checking prior to assigning partners and will ban anyone who does not meet posted swap requirements! 2. As stated above, all gifts should be NEW. Sorry, there are plenty of swaps for newbies, International players, and where you can use "like new" items, I'm even hosting some in a few groups ;-) This one, however is as stated above. 3. Items do not have to be Christmas themed! This is a stocking stuffer swap, so anything that fits into a stocking is great. Nail polish, lotion, socks, chocolate bars...all these items are mentioned above, and nome are specifically Christmas themed items. 4. The idea was to send all 12 in 1 package. I will edit the details above to include that detail, thanks for pointing it out! 5. There is no need to label gifts with numbers 1-12, unless you specifically want your partner to open them in order. It is the recipients choice when to open their gifts...that may be all at once, or one a day/every other day ;-) 6. @masharmima you can simply leave the swap by selecting that option in your swap window, but I'll go ahead and ban you to free you up! Thanks for asking, and hope to see you in other swaps!

Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

KittyLover55 10/ 9/2014 #

Okay. I will remove myself from this swap. Since I am new to this, I was not aware that I would not be allowed to participate in this swap. By the way, I live in Beaverton, OR. Thank you for clearing things up for everyone.

MyPerpetualTeenageHeart 10/21/2014 #

I am so sorry, I am just getting used to the site and I am starting to figure things out like the rating system. Thank-you so much for your patience. This looks like an awesome swap. Have fun everyone!

Babsmomof5 10/24/2014 #

Just a note, this swap has become quite huge, so it may take me a couple of days to assign partners, due to the fact I go through each participant and check profiles prior to assigning. Please be patient, and know I'm working as quickly through the list as possible when sign ups close :-)

Amane 10/25/2014 #

I'd really like a chance to do something like this, but i do have 3; it however was nearly 4months ago and it is explained and i swear i'd be on this like white on rice and i'd send something fabulous to my partner. I'd like you to view my profile and please please allow me to join this swap.

Sarahjroc 10/25/2014 #

I'm new to swap bot but I have done several swaps via Instagram. I'd really love to participate in this one! Please, please, pretty please! :)

tammielynn1969 10/25/2014 #

Does anyone know why this swap wont let me join? It will let me go through the whole process of joining but doesnt appear on my dashboard and the join button is still lit up

starhiker 11/ 2/2014 #

So if I read this correctly the sender doesn't have to put a label or tag on each gift right?

Babsmomof5 11/ 3/2014 #

@starhiker That is correct. Sender does not have to label each envelope with their name and swap name. The recipient needs to do that only if they choose to wait to rate until opening, and they must contact the sender to let them know they did receive their swap if they chose to wait to rate.

Artistic 11/19/2014 #

A Priority Mail box was sent out to my partner today. Enjoy!

pbcquiltlover 11/28/2014 #

SO sorry - I forgot to update but sent out a priority package to my partner earlier this week!

Kailaamarieexo 12/ 3/2014 #

Looking like I've been flaked on by lexi83... She's full of ones and seems to be suspended... Bummer!

Sarahjroc 12/ 3/2014 #

What is proper swap rating etiquette...haven't received my package and my partner hasn't been on swapbot since 11/16...do I rate now? Wait? :(

pammykn 12/ 9/2014 #

Did not receive swap from @frenchie46 -- no contact from her & she has not recorded as sent. Notice she has some recent 1's. I just rated her a 1 and will change if I receive from her.

EmJayBe 12/14/2014 #

I'm assuming I've been flaked on too... @LocalandUnruly marked it sent but that was two weeks ago and nothing. She has recent Ones as well. I worked hard on the swap I sent my partner. SO disappointing and sorry to @Kailaamarieexo @Sarahjroc @pammykn and any others it happened to.

Babsmomof5 12/14/2014 #

I'll be emailing everyone momentarily but if anyone happens to see this message, please send me a pm if you were flaked on. I am planning to try to angel as much as I can for you.

Kailaamarieexo 12/26/2014 #

CariahCreates Angel'd me for this swap and I so wish I could give her a 5 and a millions hearts! She even included an extra for my dog Kodah. Very thoughtful. Thank you for angeling!
