Description:

My Christmas themed filled stocking was such a success, I have decided to do a Valentine themed one as well!

You will take a pair of new Valentine themed socks and fill one of the socks with little Valentine goodies. Check your partner's profile for ideas, and try to get as many little treats into the stocking as you can!

Dollar value: $10, including the cost of the socks (which should run about $2-3 themselves). Value does not include shipping cost.

Please observe the following:

  • Send new, nice items, candies, etc. The only issue with my last stocking swap was that some folks received items that were obviously re-gifted/used/in poor condition, which isn't a lot of fun when you're spending money to send out a great stocking. We have lots of time, so let's put some good effort into this. :)

  • Please do not send dollar store socks, as they can sometimes be poorly made or itchy.

  • Ideas for stuff to send: candies, tea bags, hot cocoa, lip glosses, ATCs, small craft stuff like beads, embellishments, etc. Knickknacks, pens, memo sheets, stickers, handmade stuff, jewelry, ribbons - whatever you think they'll love. Get creative. Make it awesome! Send a stocking you'd be excited to receive yourself.

  • Be sure your profile is well filled out, so your partner can get ideas.

Requirements:

  • 5.0 rating only
  • you must have 12 recent rated mail/package swaps
  • you must have been in and rated for a couple of dollar value package swaps (ie; all your mail swaps can't just be postcards, greeting cards, etc)

I will be thoroughly checking profiles. I will also be strictly adhering to the requirements. Please do not send me angry notes about the 5.0 requirements... I heard it all the last time. :)

If someone would like to make an international or less strict version of this swap, I have no objections.

I would love to see a 4.9 rating version of this. Not everybody has a less that 5 rating for flaking.

Plus hearts are too cute to ignore ^_^

I'm so in!

1) I love Valentine's Day!

2)I love pink pink pink!

3) PLEASE I know this request is big, but I love long socks (knee-highs are great for riding horses) I would LOVE (hearts!) knee-high socks! You do NOT need to fill the entire knee-high sock. (Just the normal amount filled is ok)

Great idea for a swap!

@CalizonaDesigns I don't ride, but I too love the long socks. I love how the really soft ones feel when you yank em up over your knees. :)

I extended the sign-up and send-by deadlines for this a bit. I don't know what I was thinking, making them so early. Since this is USA only, these should take a week at most to arrive. New send-by is January 30th.

Thanks @girlpirate I'm glad you like the long ones too! I found some oh-so-cute ones at Target!

Partners have been assigned. The site has been having issues and was not accessible to me yesterday. Thanks for the patience.

I will add an extra day to the send by.

I would love to see a summer-themed version of this swap, but I have no idea how to stuff a flip-flop :-P
