I'm watching this swap! About what is the price average for this?

I'm also putting this one on my watch list and will most likely sign up. Maybe this will be the first whimsy jar swap I'm not flaked on! LOL

sylviasushi27 12/ 5/2008 #

I will say the price average should be 10-15 dollars for valentines goodies. :) Of course, you can always spend more if you like- that should be enough to get a nice variety of goodies for your partner. :)

I would love to join this swap - can you make it for Canada as well? It costs about the same to ship to here!

I'm a newbie but I have everything in my studio that you listed, lol. I have references from recipients of my care pkgs if anyone is nervous about swapping with a newbie. My friends are used to getting random/weird/delightful stuff from me in all sorts of containers/boxes/mailart but seem delighted with the contents.

Submitted for your consideration
