Thanks to Mandii79 who suggested this swap!

This swap is for the ones amongst us who enjoy challenges and surprises!

For this swap you will have to put together a nice package for your partner including an edible item for each letter of her first name and include a note explaining which item goes with each letter.

Money value should be about $6-8 (5-6.5 Euros) not including shipping costs.

For example, if you partner name is MARY you could send her:

M- marshmallows

A- apple flavoured candy

R- raspberry tea

Y- a yoghurt coated bar

You may choose to spell it in English or in your own language if that make it any easier! Just remember to explain the words you picked up to your partner in the note!

When joining this swap, please leave a comment with your first name under the swap description!

The usual rules also apply:

  • Be nice to your partner! Check eventual allergies/dislikes on the profile, rate and send on time. If occurs something unexpected that prevents you from sending on time please contact both your partner and the host.

  • Send the items in their original sealed packaging for health and customs reasons. Also, make sure to check expiration dates before sending.

  • Package your items appropriately to avoid breaks and leaks (ie. wrap and prefer boxes rather than padded envelopes for fragile food, zip lock bags are great for powders, sauces or anything else that coud break, melt and leak).

And now ..have fun ..let's try to put together nice packages for our partners, something special and done with care that will definately put a smile on their face!

My first (and only =/ ) name is Marta.

SweetClementine 06/ 7/2010 #

My name is Michele. I know it's a long name; feel free to skip the second E or use the name "Chele" for a shortened version!

This looks like so much fun. Thanks to @Mandii79 for the idea and @kizmet for hosting!

Ooh, this sounds like fun, i'll watch for now and see how finances go closer to sign up. :-)

Mandii79 06/ 7/2010 #

I'm watching till it gets closer, and thanks for hosting :)

I am happy for you to use Mandii, Mandy or Amanda which ever letters are easiest for my partner :D

Zauberin 06/ 9/2010 #

my name is Dana :)

Tatsu 06/ 9/2010 #

My first name is Victoria. xD But, I guess people can use Vicky.

I think I suggested a similar swap last year, only with the first letter of their first name and each of their two surnames.

This one sounds a bit more challenging, but more fun too. ^^ I'll watch for now, since I'll be in Miami on the 3rd.

Moineau 06/ 9/2010 #

Oh, that's so much fun. My name is Armelle, which is rather long, so feel free to use only one E and one L.

Also, you may choose to spell it in your own language if that make it any easier, for example: A for "apple" in English or A for "airelle" (cranberry) in French or A for... whatever that would stand for in Norwegian, if you get my drift :)

Anniehall 06/ 9/2010 #

I'm totally in, this swap is perfect to return to the swap-world :)

well, I don't like my first name and everybody knows me by my middle name: Daniela :)

kizmet 06/10/2010 #

@Tatsu have a nice time in Miami! And show us pics of what you will eat there =P Your version of the swap sounds nice as well but it would probably be a bit problematic for the one of us with just surname.

@Moineau .I had thought about it and I guess I will put your suggestion in the swap description right now..it will be fun to learn new words in other languages!

Tatsu 06/10/2010 #

Oooh. I like Noineau's suggestion!

kizmet 06/13/2010 #

The swap was edited! I added a money value to make sure that despite the different lenght of the names everyone will get a fair swap

Thanks to everyone for joining or considering to join the swap!!

This looks like so much fun. My first name is Shayla. Can't wait for partners to be assigned so I can start collecting items!

kizmet 06/17/2010 #

Thanks to all the new partecipants!! @Lukrecja ..maybe your partner could use Aleksa or Sandra so that is medium lenght!

lukrecja 06/17/2010 #

oh no! i don't like these names at all! :) but my partner could use Alex + Ola without the X- it'll be 6 letters then :) and it'll sound nicer than Aleksa or Sandra :):)
