Description:

For this swap you need to be medicated! Or else you won't have anything to stuff full of surprises for your partner. Even if you aren't 'officially' medicated a nice sized Tylenol bottle or some other over the counter medicine bottle comparable to a prescription sized bottle will work.

Simply find one of your EMPTY pill bottles and fill it full of neat Valentine's themed goodies for your partner (make sure to wash it out first). Also, be creative and alter the outside of the bottle, too. Use any medium you would like. Just make sure to send a quality piece of work. Don't just slap a sticker on it and call it done. Embellish, paint, collage, mixed media...just so long as it would look neat sitting at someone's crafting station.

Some ideas of what you might include:

  • Charms
  • Ribbon
  • Bracelet
  • Small pair of earrings
  • Beads
  • Embellishments such as brads, rhinestones, etc.
  • Novelty erasers
  • Pressed penny
  • Magnets
  • Handmade trinkets
  • Brooches

Be as creative as you would like with the Valentine's theme. Remember, it doesn't have to be all chocolates and romance!

Just use your imagination and see what you can come up with to cram in the bottle.

Sizes vary at different pharmacies, but try to stay away from smaller sample sized bottles. If that is all that is available, send at least 3 to compensate for the size difference.

I think we will all be surprised at how many great goodies we can fit in these tiny treasure boxes!

This swap is sender's choice.

Guidelines:

  • No recent no sends
  • I will check profiles to ensure participants are in good standing with the group
  • Regional - USA Only
  • Quality work only: Send only what you would be happy to receive

Any questions? Just ask!
