Description:

You will have 1 partner and send them a nice Mini Lucky Parcel (MLP) with a winter theme!

The MLP will have at 3 separate items in it plus a notecard from you:

  • 1 store-bought sweet or treat food item, in its original packaging (candy/tea /hot cocoa/treats/biscuits/chocolate:) Doesn't have to be a big item, a candy bar, a tin of mints, a handful of candies, several teabags tied up in ribbon. Food items must be current/unexpired/unopened. Participants, please list any food allergies or dislikes on your profile otherwise it's sender's choice.

  • 1 handmade winter themed item - one item must be handmade by you, no cheating and getting something off Etsy!:) Send something you would be delighted to receive and that you have hand crafted with care: a pair of mittens, a handmade scarf, a feltie, an amigurumi, a pincushion, an apron, a hand beaded bracelet or pair of earrings, an altered pen or tin, a piece of made by you jewelry. This is a senders choice item and must be winter themed - do not send out of season items.

This item should be something you could buy or sell on Etsy for at least $5 and should show off your hand-crafting skills. This item should not be a supply/stash item - it must be a finished item, ready to use right out of the envie.

NO paper or paper based items, food items, or bath/beauty items are acceptable for this item so DO NOT send atcs, pcs, notecards, cookies, bath bombs, etc.

  • 1 store-bought winter themed personal use/HABA/purse item - must be new and in original packaging. This should be something we all would love to have in our purse this winter - a new lipbalm, a purse size hand lotion or sanitizer, a nice packet of designer tissue, a new pocket mirror, a winter themed mini hairbrush. No dollar store HABA (health and beauty aid) items allowed - think Avon or Bath and Body Works. Trial sizes are not acceptable.

  • 1 winter notecard card, written to your recipient (can also be handmade)

While this is a semi "senders choice" swap, please look at your recipient's profile and make sure what you send them is loosely related to their interests - avoiding their dislike and allergic to and please don't send list!

Participants - pls make sure your profile has enough info for a sender to decipher what you like to receive, eat, drink, see, read and what you don't like, allergies are especially important. I will check all profiles before assigning partners.

Value should be in the $5-8 range before postage.

  • Open to the first 15 qualified US Swappers; I will close the swap once we hit 15 participants but the send by date will remain the same.

Any questions, pls pm me!

I'm not in the US so I don't qualify. However, I just LOVE this swap idea. Would you mind if I copy word for word your swap to make a Canadian version of it? It wouldn't "steal" any of your participants since I'd make it Canada only. (And the reason I'd like to copy is that my english is limited so it would help to copy instead of trying to find a way to re write everything).

Hi @Toupti feel free to copy any and all aspects of this swap for a Canadian version - I've been hosting this at Sophisticated but I am disbanding the group in Jan so moving this swap out to the public!

@Strawberrymilkmade - HABA = health and beauty aid, sorry, I spelled out the acronym in the swap description!

Hi I went through and counted my uncategorized swaps, for package swaps and I have over 50 with those. I hope that that is ok. If not I totally understand if I'm dropped.

Hi Turtle17, yes, I am counting uncategorized as Type 3's so you are fine!
