Did you ever see the movie "Midnight Madness" (1980)? If not it is an 80's movie must!! Its all about going on a scavenger hunt!!!

I thought how fun it would be for all of us to do one too!!

This is what you will be searching for:

  • Something to read
  • Something to write on
  • Something to write with
  • Something plastic
  • Something to watch
  • Something thats sweet/sour
  • Something smurfy
  • Something to listen to
  • Something from a cartoon
  • Something to put on our jean jackets
  • Something you can wear (hair clip, shirt, leggings, etc)
  • Something hot pink
  • Something vintage
  • Something to use on our crafts
  • Something your partner would go totally nutts for

Be creative but also make sure all the items were items that would reflect the 80's. Also look at your partners profile just to make sure your package is extra special. Wrap it all up nicely and include a card telling your partner what each of the items you found for them are, the group name, and your swapbot name.

There are a few things that you can alter and be crafty with but most other things you need to purchase. If there is anything else that I can add to this list let me know--I am always open for suggestions. Also keep in mind when I say something to read I mean books that are based (or vice versa) on 80's movies or books such as Sweet Valley High or the Choose Your Own Ending books that were very popular in the 80's.

Remember that things need to be 80's themed!! Spending limit can be between 10-15.00. It should be something that you would love to receive so put some effort into it :) Thanks!

This should be so much FUN!!!! Whoaaaaa!!!!

what is the spending limit for this? or the suggested amount to spend? also is 2nd hand items (like thrift stores) ok? and what about dollar store items? and things like something to write with or something plastic... do these have to be 80s themed? can you give some suggestions? those 2 stumped me. i'm watching this for now, but thinking of joining it!

Yes thrift is great, dollar is great. I also changed the dates so to give more time-there will be a month to complete it :) Everything has to be 80's themed...it can be colors that were used in the 80's like hot pink, neon colors, cheesy-tacky, etc....To write with is a pen or pencil....something plastic can be bracelets, figurine, ring, earrings, lunchbox....etc

Spending limit is 10-20 but I always end up over my amount LOL So you can stick within the limit--things can be inexpensive without looking or actually being cheap kwim?

I hope I helped!!!

I have already been getting stuff,lol! So far I have something to write on, something to write with, something cartoon, something smurfy, and something to use in crafts. Still have a ways to go, but I am working on it. Glad this swap has extra time!
