This is a fun little challenging swap for the month of AUGUST!!

Requirements:

You'll find an item that costs $3, OR you'll find 3 items that costs $1 each. Your total cost should be $3!!

Try to keep your items right at $3. I understand if you found something that's a little bit more, but this is more of a challenge and so we want to keep it as close to $3 as possible.

These items must be something your partner can use or like. So please be sure to read over their profile well. Please don't send something from their dislikes. If they say they don't like stickers, don't send them stickers. Or if they don't like cutesy things, don't send them anything cutesy! Please do have respect for your partner in getting things they would really enjoy.

The items you find must not be trashy or cheaply made. Please do try to get great quality items. And yes, there are some awesomely great quality items out there for only a buck (or three)!

Ideas to find great items that start at just $1: The dollar spot at Target, the dollar sections at craft stores (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, etc.). Others include sale items at various places (Wal-Mart), Dollar Asian/Oriental shops, Ross, local Street Markets, etc.

Ideas for stores generally not allowed: General dollar stores like Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, etc. Most of these items here are fairly cheaply made and we wouldn't want our fabulous item we just got for our partner to fall apart quickly. So try to stay away from these types of stores. There are many really neat stores out there that have items for just a buck or two!

Handmade items are welcome! Just make sure you make something you'd love to receive yourself.

If you decide to make your items, you can get inspired from Flickr or Etsy to something cool to make your partner.

Additional Information:

NOTE: This swap is USD$3 in general. So whatever the conversion is to your own respective currencies is fine for the swap.

This is open to all members of good standing within the group. Please do fill out your profile completely so we can all get ideas on what to send you!

I do reserve the right to ban if I feel you cannot complete the swap at this time.

Please do not flake in these swaps. You will be kicked out of the group as well as banned from any future swaps I host.

Please remember to read your partner's profile for this swap!!!

this looks like fun......getting ready to move so watching for now, but just may have to jump into it move-or-not!

$3 challege - does this translate straight to £3 , €3 etc? As opposed to converting using actual currency exchange rates.

That would mean we all had the same challenge (although I'd relish the challenge of trying to get 3 awesome items to add-up to exactly £1.92 !!! :D

I was thinking $3 equals £1.92 and that was what I was going for. It seems fairer that way. But please clarify?

No, it's just USD$3 in general. So whatever the conversion is to your own respective currencies is fair! I will add a note for future profile swaps of this nature.
