Description:

Remember the fun you had as a kid with Grab Bags? I remember casting a fishing pool behind a board and someone back there attaching a grab bag surprise to the end of my poll.

Thanks to Angie Hatley (auralily) for reminding me of the good old grab bag! When I read her profile and saw her mention Grab Bags, I just knew there was a swap to be had there. With her permission, I am creating one.

In this swap, you will have one partner. You will send them a flat surprise (or a little surprise) in a Grab Bag. If you keep it to stickers, a postcard, a notecard or something flat, you should be able to mail for one stamp. If you choose to put a little larger something in your Grab Bag, you may have to use a bubble mailer and pay more postage.

What you will do is find some kind of little paper bag (that you cannot see through) and put some kind of a little surprise or surprises in it. I'm thinking stickers, ribbon, something to that effect. You can decorate the bag, you can staple it shut or tape it shut. It's just the idea that you get something in the mail that you open the envie and then you get to open a surprise!

I hope this makes sense. I will probably write "Jane's Grab Bag" on it and color it. This is just to have fun and feel like a kid again.

Please don't flake. I will angel if necessary, after appropriate time and appropriate ratings are applied to flakers. That being said, this is open to Newbies and anyone interested. Thanks!

Can we make the bag by hand?

Sure, I'm thinking I might use a pharmacy bag.

What a fun swap! I can't wait.

This sounds like SO much fun. I was literally just talking with my husband this morning about grab bags and blind box ( toys ) ! I want to join, but I don't have a P.O Box and I am still slightly paranoid about giving out my address. I know everyone on here is fine, I am just a little nervous.

Should we place several items in the bag?

SpicyJordan - I don't know what to tell you about your address. I use mine on here all the time. Perhaps, when partners are assigned, you could pm your partner your address?

To LavenderSprinles (what a cute name) you can put several flat items or several items if you wish. Remember,there is no monetary amount associated with this swap. I mentioned "one stamp" as the postage rate, but it is up to you. I only caution that you don't get too extravagent as you may end up disappointed with what you receive. This is not meant to be an expensive or time consuming swap. Hope that helps.

@povuffy I left that comment before I signed up. I realized I was being irrational. Thank you though. :)

Whoops , I'm sorry. I meant to say @pobuffy

Ok, thank you for liking my name. Sounds like a plan. I will pack it light but with good things.
