I'd like to dedicate the swap to the memory of Connie who passed away last year while trying to swap with us.

The Swap Details:

Fill a package with 25 small, wrapped gifts. Your partner will open a gift a day leading up to Christmas! You can number the gifts 1 through 24, or leave it a random luck of the draw, but please make sure the gift to be opened on christmas is special and identified as "christmas day." Shoot for a value of over $30 for your package. This doesn't include postage.

Handmade is encouraged and always appreciated!

Because this is a big effort swap, I've set some rules:

You must be rated in 20 (non-email)swaps, with a rating of 4.8 or above.

No credible history of no sends, and no chronically late senders. I will be checking active swaps to see if you have any late sends!

All items must be new or like new (unless they are vintage,) and in good condition. No dirty, used, "clean out your stash" items. If you must, no more than two "dollar store" type gifts please.

If you, or your partner are mailing to/from Canada, mail you package by 11/1/08 , so we can assure everyone has their package to open on 12/1/08!

I reserve the right to ban anyone, and will check and weed out the swap prior to assigning partners.

You must communicate with the hostess if I reach out to you. Also, you must be an active swapper who has logged on in the week before the partners are assigned.

You must rate your partner, or risk getting a 3 rating!

Please feel free to set up swaps similar to this for other countries, children, etc.

This was so much fun last year - both the picking out the goodies we know our swap partner will like, and the fun of opening cute little gifts from someone else. Thanks so much for hosting it again this year, YH!

Is there a minimum $ amount on this?

YooperHill 08/31/2008 #

see above...

euphoria 09/ 2/2008 #

Thank you, and also thanks for the caveat of no more than two "dollar store" items. :)

you didn't say if newbies are welcome. could you identify that for me, im a newbie and what atracted me to this is because it's my favorite time of the year, thanks P:)

As long as you meet the swap guidelines, you are welcome to join...

That was very nice of you to dedicate this swap to Connie. I was looking for this swap, I had sooo much fun last year. Any chance you could make the send out date a little closer to December? I had my gifts out by the tree last year?

lilmissthrifty 09/12/2008 #

OOOHHH... I get it...never mind the date question!

This was the swap I've had the most fun putting together. Will probably pass this year because I've been burned on Bot swaps and this was a sizeable investment. I hope you have fun though and I'm glad you are hosting again. It's a wonderful idea!

grandmaroro 09/26/2008 #

Oh - I am sooo glad to find this swap. I haven't been swapping for a few months - life kind of got in the way ---- but I have to get in on some of the Christmas swaps. I love the season and the reason. And a big "Thanks You" to YH for hosting again. I'm still enjoying some of the delightful goodies that she sent me last year -- I was her lucky partner.........

I put so much effort into this swap last year! It was a lot of fun. I think giving was more fun than receiving, actually.

YooperHill 09/27/2008 #

Lindalee - I feel the same way. I got so excited about picking things our, and wrapping them! That is a nice feeling!

lindalee 10/ 2/2008 #

POOH. I missed the deadline! I've been verrry busy and completely forgot about it. UGH.

Well, YooperHill.... if someone has to drop out between now and then, let me know and I'll gladly step in, ok? Thanks!

Robin 10/ 7/2008 #

Oh....I remember this swap last year. I missed the deadline, so I never got in. This year I didn't know it existed until I was looking over a partner's profile (in another swap). Again too late. :-(

Anyway...I did get to participate last year when I angled gabbrgrl, who's partner went astray. I had so much fun putting her gifts together and wrapping them up. This is a great swap to get you into the Christmas spirit and it is just a fun for the receiver too. :-)

Robin 10/ 7/2008 #

PS....

YooperHill.... If anyone should need to be angled, please look me up. I would love to do it again. Receiving is great but the search for the gifts, the wrapping and just knowing I have made someone's day a little brighter is the best part of this swap.

xoxo

YooperHill 10/ 7/2008 #

Thank you! So sweet!

grandmaroro 10/22/2008 #

MY PACKAGE CAME TODAY --- oCT. 22 --- forgive me for screaming - I am so excited. I'm going to ask DH tonight to put up the Christmas tree ---- I have 25 gifts to put under it. OH Lucky Me. Joan.

YooperHill 11/ 8/2008 #

Grandmaroro!

Thank you for the wonderful box that was at my door tonight. You did not have to send me a "Thank you" for hosting the swaps, but I REALLY do appreciate it! I have not opened it yet, I love the red bag that it is in. Thanks so much!

Hugs, Yoop
