Description:

This swap was formerly hosted by @Ruthshi and I'm taking over for now.

In this swap, we're going to send an envelope filled with random items. The number of different items to put inside should be at least 6 (quantity of each item depends on you).

Some IDEAS (but not limited to) that we could put inside are the following:

  • postcards

  • friendship books and other items like sbs, lyrix, slams, etc.

  • bookmarks/book thongs

  • stickers

  • swap cards

  • personalized address labels

  • profile surprise

  • sticky notes

  • memo sheets

  • letter sets/ stationery

  • embellishments

  • drink sachets (teabags,coffee,hot chocolate)

  • magnets

  • keyring / key chains

  • ribbons

  • postage stamps (used/mint)

  • paper napkins

  • pretty paper

  • note cards

  • gift tags

  • samples - shampoo, cosmetics, perfume, etc

  • currency

  • sheet music/dictionary pages

  • pocket calendars

  • handwritten letter

  • erasers

  • filled matchbox

  • candy

  • chocolate

  • small book

  • profile surprise

  • button pin/s

  • cross stitch pattern

  • poster

  • decotape

  • hair accessories

  • socks

  • handkerchiefs

I strongly advise you NOT TO SEND g-a-r-b-a-g-e. Send something that you yourself would like to receive, with the thought of considering your partner's profile.

You have the choice to make it stuffed and big for your partner, but don't expect to receive exactly the same. I will check profiles and ban those people whose profiles are suspicious. No 1s or 3s in the past 3 months please (unless you can explain to me the reasons behind the rating).

-->I'm sorry but I won't open this swap to newbies for the mean time.

-->At least 7 completed swaps (Type 1 swaps are not included).

-->Enjoy!

Why don't you try to be creative and design the envelope too? ( that's optional ) ;]

NOTE: Kindly log in on the week of the swap for me to know that you're active okay. =] Those who didn't logged in within the week would be pulled out of the swap.

papercaper 02/16/2013 #

Signed up because you've got such a wonderful list of examples posted. Makes it much less nerve-wracking to know I don't have to worry about what I can possibly send. I have heaps of doable options, I can see. Nice job! :)

Kayenderes 02/21/2013 #

I am so sorry, please excuse me. I lost the info on the message you sent me which i had asked for. sorry. please resend and tell me again what is sbs, lyrix & slams. please just when you can. I will write this down and never forget. thank you so so many hugs

kisscut91 02/21/2013 #

Does 1 note card count as 1 item? Of course I'm not going to send 6 different note cards... just wondering :)

emilie38 02/24/2013 #

What size of envelope are we stuffing ? Is there specific dimensions?

elleto 02/26/2013 #

What is sbs, lyrix and slams? Sorry still trying to get used to the jargon used on here! Lol! Oh and would I be able to join? Thanks :-)

abbyaguas 02/26/2013 #

@JenRed - sending pm.

@kisscut91 and @emilie38 - pms sent

@elleto - Yes, you're able to join.

From the Swapbot glossary Slams – A slam is a booklet similar to a deco or friendship book except that each page will have a question on it, and each signer will answer the question. A slam is made “for” somebody and their information is usually on the cover. Once the booklet is full it will be sent back to this person. Slams can be themed or regular. Typically they are usually small like a standard friendship book. Often they have a “sign-in” page where you put your label or name, then each page will often contain a question which you answer (i.e. When was the last time you said “I love you”) and the signer would write the appropriate response. At the end there is often a sign-out page as well where it’s dated. Slams have many variations and can be “sign if” slams (you sign only if the statement or question applies to you). These are handled in a number of ways, but most of them become more clear when you have it in-hand.

Sb - can either mean sticker book/stamp bag/sticker bag

Lyrix - Lyrix are much like fbs in a larger size/decos, except that each page is decorated using lyrics from a song. Some are more plain with the words simply written in them, others are as artistic as decos with pictures and other ornamental adornments.

Hi! I was wondering what size envelope we are to send?

boue 03/10/2013 #

@abbyaguas I too was wondering about the size of the envelope? Could you please write it here so that everyone can see?

Fever 03/13/2013 #

I'm guessing it should be at least an A5 envelope, because this is supposed to be a Type 3 swap. But some more comments from the host would be great, I agree! :)

Clearbrite 04/ 8/2013 #
