Description:
Sign up for this and get a $10.00 fun box to surprise your kids with - perhaps it could be a reward box, or involve thd kids in buying items to send to someone else, and have the fun of watching the mail for their box. It doesn't really matter how you use this swap, but that you have fun doing it!! Kids - ask your parents to sign up on your behalf - you have to be 18 to sign up. This is a United States only swap please. Don't bother to sign up if you have a history of un-completed swaps! New swap-botters are welcomed! Items I can imagine putting in a box are pencils, stickers, fun papers, journal type books, small craft projects they can do themselves, fun soap bars, etc. Lets keep this consumable type items tho - most kids that I know seem to have far to many fun meal type toys, and the like such as you would find at the dollar store. Keep in mind that sometimes the cheapest little stuff is what is most intruiging to the kids! Please feel free to scour the clearance racks and dollar stores to build your box, and let's aim for a $10.00 box. You will only need one box, as you will only have one swap partner. Please keep shipping in mind. It's up to you to cover this cost, and it does NOT qualify for part of the $10.00. It would be helpful if you could offer information about your kids (2 yr old boy, 7 yr old girl) in the description, so your box can be a little bit more customized.

I LOVE the idea of this swap. I have a 5 1/2 yr old daughter who always wonders why mommy gets so much mail and she doesn't. I also have a 2 1/2 yr old son. For my daughter, if it's pink and princess related, she's happy. For my son, if's chocolate and/or cars and trains, he's happy. They are pretty easy to please.

I went to the dollar store today - i just couldn't wait to find out who my team mate was so I just bought a lot of gender neutral stuff! I need to check but I think I've got enough $ wise - my kids are excited as well - just the girls - my son wll be happy to have the just the box!!

*****We need to keep in mind little hands and pets***** please use packing materials that won't harm anyone if small hands get to open these packages!!! bubble wrap is FAR preferred to packing peanuts if cushion is needed!

my daughter is 13...she loves sweet treats, lip gloss, lotions, & other girly things, hair thingys (she has super thick hair), & making jewelry. she loves weird/ cool dollar store finds! i would love to create an age appropriate "do it yourself kiddie craftster" box if my partner is interested! i love supporting kids (and adults) artistic selves! :-)

my son is 6 1/2, loves all sports, especially baseball and golf. He is into all things boys- army men, dinosaurs etc. This is his second swap and boy is he hooked!!!

My daughter is 5 and loves anything crafty/hands on to do, she is very artistic. She likes girly things also. Please no play makeup as we don't allow her to use it at such a young age, (I do let her use lip gloss.) But really anything you find will be great. I plan to use the box as a reward box when she does chores without asking or that kind of thing. Thanks in advance! Happy Swapping

My daughter is 6 1/2 and she loves any kinds of art or craft supplies, coloring books, bubbles, and candy. She also likes girly stuff like lip balm, bubble bath, lotion, and body glitter.
