Description:

Here is a holiday for every day of the year. This swap needs us all to use the same holiday calendar. Go to this website for the calendar month of December. .

December holiday calendar

Using this calendar, you'll pick 4 different holidays from the month, you choose which four, and send something to your partner that has to do with the holidays you choose. Try to include a variety of gifts -- don't send four bookmarks, for example! Anything that comes to mind that represents that holiday, however, is fine..

Christmas and Hanukah are obviously in December, but so are lots of other holidays! What about Bathtub Party Day, Letter Writing Day, Card Playing Day or Bake Cookies Day?

Dozens of possibilities for finding things to make your partner happy in December! Use your imagination!

You will send your partner a total of 4 items, each one from a different holiday. After you have collected the 4 items, please send them all together to your partner by the deadline of 24 November. Include a note or card telling your partner which item is for which holiday or label the items!

Wrap your gifts and put the date on the outside of each package. That way our partners can open each surprise on the correct day which adds to the fun!

The swap is sender's choice so you can start thinking about what to send even before the deadline! But obviously check your partner's profile so that you can make your parcel something they are really really pleased to get.

This swap is Europe only and is open to anyone with 4.98 ratings or better, and no recent no-sends or lateness. New swappers with a full profile and at least two rated swaps are welcome. I will check profiles just before assigning partners.

How much should the value of these items be please? ^^

That's a sensible question, although we haven't been worrying about cost for previous months of this swap. If storebought, I suppose between £1 and £3 (1.25-3.75 euros) for each item. It's fine to send good quality handmade items as well. Those of you who have been in this swap every month, does that sound reasonable to you?

it might be better to have an overall value? Some days the relevant gift might be a cheap one but others be more expensive? tbh it's worked fine for me as it is but understand some people might want values...

It's just that I'm always worried that I haven't send enough. I hope my partner will like her goodies. ^^
