Hello Friends,

I'm inspired to do this swap because I miss the Make Someone's Day Swaps that used to be hosted by @florenceantonette who sadly, isn't active on the Bot currently.

This swap is to make someones day!! You will put a few items in an envelope with at least one 49 cent stamp. Please let it weigh as closely to 1 ounce of happy mail as possible. It's okay if you go over, but at least one ounce. Please include your user name along with a little note and the flat goodies for your partner.

Comment below with 3 to 5 themes that you are most interested in currently. Your partner will use that for inspiration to tuck in your Happy Mail envelope! (Not everything you send has to be from your partners wish list--if you don't have anything on hand check out their profile for further inspiration!)

It's Happy Mail so please jazz up your envelope a bit!

A few ideas of what you could include:

  • Note Cards

  • Postcards

  • Stationery

  • Stickers

  • Journal Cards

  • Smash Book Items

  • Charms

  • Washi Tape Samples

  • Kawaii Goodies

  • Positive Quotes

  • Ephemera

  • Tea

The only limitation is your imagination. This swap should not cost a lot of money. Hopefully you have nice items in your stash that you can pass on.

It should go without saying, but just in case, no obviously used or damaged items. Do not send anything that you would not be happy receiving.

You must have a 4.98 and no recent 1's or 3's to join.

Before Partners are Assigned:

  • Comment below with 3-5 themes you're interested in to give your partner ideas.

Swap Checklist:

  • A Note to your partner that will include your Swap-bot ID.

  • One Ounce or more of Happy Mail tidbits inspired (at least in part) by your partner's list of themes.

  • A decorated/fun envelope to send it off in.
