Description:

Who doesn't love presents?

For this swap you will have one partner. This will be senders choice. Purchase a plastic pencil box and FILL it with gifts for your partner. At least one hand made or hand altered gift, and at least one store bought gift. Pencil box size should be approx 8x5x2in (this is the size of the sterilite brand, however you can use whatever brand you like) Gifts inside the box should be a minimum $5 value. The list is endless as to what you could fit in it. Please leave some suggestions for your partner in the comments. DO NOT just list things that you don't like please because this can be very frustrating for your swap partner.

Any cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, perfumes, and other personal items need to be NEW and intact. No smashed or used lipsticks, eyeshadow etc ( I know this is common sense for most, but I received a used lipstick once, icky!)

Some ideas for those homemade gifts:

Bookmarks ATCs Dolls Journal Ornaments Jewelry A poem Keychain Whimsey jar Homemade note card

Let your creativity lead the way!

Once you have filled your box package it up. Include the swap name, your user name, and "do not open til Christmas" on the outside of the package. If you receive a tracking # it's not a bad idea to pm it to your partner and keep a copy of it yourself. Not all packages will have a tracking number, it depend as on which shipping form you use, in some cases it will cost you extra to get tracking. THIS IS OPTIONAL. You do not have to get tracking on your package.

Please send nice things that you would like to receive, no junk. Please fill that box! It doesn't have to be overflowing but please use common sense, a handful of stickers and a bookmark is not going to fill it. USA only. Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher. No recent or unexplained ones or threes. No unrated swappers. Must have at least 10 type 2 or 3 swaps and a filled out profile. If you like this swap let me know and I can host another before Christmas.

Since we aren't opening these until Christmas, as long as you receive your package please rate your partner a 5. Once you open your package you can come back and give them a heart if you really like your gifts, or conact them if there is a problem.

I LOVE MAKEUP! I prefer darker colors but will use any. I am not partial any brand. I love creating new looks for myself. Colored pens, skulls, my little pony, stickers, stationery, pigment powder, glitter, anime, goth stuff, artificial roses, rubber stamps, paranormal romance books, markers, craft supplies, sewing pins that have the colored ball at the end...

I am currently customizing some my little ponies so doll hair would be really awesome. Even some leftovers because the dolls are going to have multicolored hair. The color doesn't matter. Natural, neon, dark, bright, I will use it.

I am obsessed with tiny things! Flatbacks/cabochons , gems, little bottles, doll dishes and food, things I can use to customize the ponies I'm working on.

I would love to receive a customized mini doll for a gift, any style that sparks your creativity.

It doesn't take much to make me smile as long as I know thought was put into it.

I love makeup. Any type of makeup would be awesome. I tend to stray away from brown colors though. Dark eyeshadows, black eyeliners, red lipsticks are always a good bet. But I do like to experiment with color so I'm game. :)

I love anything kawaii. Anything that looks cute and is Asian themed I love. Sanrio characters are always cute. Anything from Daiso is awesome. Those type of cutesy things.

Some of my likes: Studio Ghibli, Sanrio, skulls, studs, ATCs, Fairies, geeky items, stationary, Disney, anime, altered journals, Halloween, handmade bracelets (especially love the woven kinds that just tie and have different designs), quirky things.

Would a box like a cigar box be acceptable as long as it is packaged correctly? It wouldn't be a real branded cigar box, just the flip style lid like we used to take to school years ago.

The pencil box is supposed to be wrapped right?

I really love stationary items such as postcards, washi tape, stationary paper, colored pens, cool stickers. I love animals, Harry potter anything, anything that is apple or peach scented, I love to paint so anything I can use for ATCs. Anything glittery or sparkly. Little knick knacks such as souvenirs. I love sweets and chocolate.

Since the box will be in some sort of mail packaging it doesn't have to be wrapped but if you like wrapping presents you sure can. That's one of my favorite things about Christmas is wrapping presents :)

I really love anything that I could use to write/decorate letters with. I love chapstick and red lipstick a whole lot. One of my favorite things the dollar spot at target or the dollar store. Just surprise me! I'm really easy to please :P
