Description:

Welcome to the ULTIMATE EASTER "BASKET" SWAP!!! Every year I put together fantastic baskets for my family and seldom get one in return...I figure its the same with many of you ladies! My husband is a sweet man, but hes not all that creative in the gifting department--and while he'll buy me what I ask for, its not the same thing as being surprised!

This swap will require you to make one fabulous Easter "basket" for your one swap partner!

A minimum of 6 items with a minimum spending limit of $20 before shipping.

Homemade items are most welcome among the goodies.

When you sign up, please give your partner a hand, by placing a comment below with a wishlist of 10 items you might like to see in your Ultimate Easter "Basket".

You must include 2 items from the list your partner leaves below.

The "basket" itself, that you put the items in, can be a basket, a bag, a purse, eco-bag, cellophane, decorated box, be creative!! Think about what kind of basket you would like to receive. Make it look good, wrap some of the trinkets, put some love into it!

PLEASE only join this swap if you plan to stick by the mailing guidelines!!! We want everyone to receive their basket in time for Easter. This is why I'm making this a USA only swap, to ensure shipping time, and also to keep postage down.

Please put some love into this swap! Go by my golden rule of swapping and give to others as you'd like to be given to. You want a mega-watt smile on your partners face when they open this holiday package from you!

To join the swap you must have a 4.99 rating or higher, no recent 1's or 3's allowed. Sorry but no newbies. You must have 30 rated type 3 swaps to join! I will check profiles and ban peeps if I have to.

SWAP CHECKLIST:

  • When you sign up--List 10 items or themes you'd like to receive in your Easter Basket.

  • When partner's are assigned--Look at your partner's list in the comment section below, check their profile for any dislikes.

  • Send a minimum of 6 items to your partner, at least 2 of which should be inspired by their wish list in the comment section.

  • Spend a minimum of $20.

  • Package Nicely in a "Basket" as described above.
