Description:

THIS IS USA ONLY -BUT- there is an international one :)

This is a total surprise kind of swap, where you, the sender, get to choose what you send. You, the recipient, will NOT ask for or ask for something not to be sent! If you have an allergy to food or fiber or anything you think you might get, then please post BOLDLY on your profile all about it.

I say this because everyone should read your partners profile to get some idea, to see what your all about.

The requirements will be to sign up for this swap.

if you are a picky, particular, crabby, unappreciative etc.kind of person CLICK THE BACK BUTTON NOW!

HAVE A RATING OF 4.7 or higher but NO no sends (1-rating) in the last 30 days

SORRY NO NEWBIES THIS TIME - but you should still have time to go get a rating, join one of my bubble swaps for a fast and easy swap ;) or any other swap that will get you a rating quick.

also when the swap reminder (1 week until swap reminder)comes to your email box, if at that time you are NOT able to fulfill the requirements of this swap, I ask that you PLEASE drop from the swap.

the requirements of the swap its self will be to : get a box that is at least 6in x 6in. x 5in (the small cubed priority box is 7x7x6) you may also use a shoe box which is larger than required or ANY similar size box (the box sizes here are just guidelines so that way someone who sends out a good sized box dont end up getting in return a teeny tiny box)

then get some stuff together you think your partner might like or be surprised with. (a good surprise) and fill the box up. You can start getting your stuff together now or you can wait to read your partners profile. Remember what you send is up to the SENDER!

I'm not telling you how to rate either but if you get your box of surprises then you should rate a 5, and if your box really surprises you then think of giving a heart! The rating system is all about did you send your swap out and that your swap was received. Not about if you liked it or did not like what you got.

if you have the rating of 4.7 or higher then you know how to swap and what its all about.

send your partner a box that you would love to get your self!

thanks for reading the entire description!

are these dates ok? what do you think too short of time ?? let me know your thoughts.

i made this swap on a special request because the other one is international

swtgagrl29 03/ 6/2008 #

is there a spending limit and a limit to how many surprises?

CelestialFreak 03/ 6/2008 #

For me it's too soon, and too short. I'll do better if the send is in June. Maybe you'll have another round then, I don't know. But if you move it, or have another then, please let me know.

Me too, I would rather it be further in the future like in May.

ladydy5 03/ 7/2008 #

However, in May the post office prices for mailing goes up a few cents.

latenight46 03/ 7/2008 #

latenight46 03/ 7/2008 #

Susan 03/ 7/2008 #

swtgagrl29: no spending limit min. or max just send stuff you would want to get yourself it may be things you have already from other swaps or like me I keep a swapping box full of stuff mostly new things that I get here and there. LOve those $ bins at target and Micheals

This is right up my alley! I love picking up random things so I have a very good start on a box for a special someone. :) Can't wait!!!

Susan 03/10/2008 #

COOL welcome!

Susan 03/10/2008 #

hi everyone , measurements dont have to be exact, just as long as the volume is pretty close. you know what I mean, there are different shapes that hold the same amount. im not even close to knowing much about geometry. i just dont want to see anyone get a 3 that sends a good box out, thats all.

latenight46 03/11/2008 #

can't wait to fill a box

weeatcrayons 03/15/2008 #

The only thing I say for don't send, is anything flavored with coconut or real coconut, you will kill me, seriously! I am DEATHLY allergic! Other than that, surprise me! I'm VERY easy to please :).

carladallas 03/16/2008 #

I have a really detailed profile, but if you have any questions just pm me! Carla

CajunLady 03/17/2008 #

I told myself I wouldn't be doing anymore swaps. But I couldn't pass this one up! I have a very detailed profile. And if I were to get some stuff in my wishlist/likes, there would definitely be some hearts thrown around!! ~lol~

Susan 03/19/2008 #

i just sent the following email to you all, but everyone with a hotmail or msn mailbox it did not get to you so here is what i wrote. . . . just checking in with you all. and just a reminder the box size is just a guideline it doesnt have to be exact measurements so please don't rate your partner on the box. the box i found measures 6 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 5 1/2 so everyones box is going to be different. if you have any questions please email me back. thank you all for joining. and have fun filling your boxes! susan

paintedbooklady 03/21/2008 #

I'm easy to please. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

MissSarah1930 03/22/2008 #

Just wanted to post here as well as in my profile, please DO NOT SEND FOOD! I HAVE A LOT OF FOOD ALLERGIES!!! thanks!!

latenight46 04/22/2008 #

can we send box earlier? thanks for your time

Artistic 04/28/2008 #

A package is en route to my partner. Enjoy!

Susan 04/30/2008 #

please PM me if you see that your partner does not send your package, anyone want to angel?

I'm sorry that a few people may end up flaking on this swap, but I do check the list of swappers before assigning partners the only thing I know to do is make the send out date quick after the sign up which I do not like to do so that way we all have time to put together nice packages.

these are trying times with rising costs and the paycheck stays the same and in some cases goes lower or worse!

I do hope all are well.

Susan 04/30/2008 #

Latenight46 - Yes you can send your packages out on any swap as soon as you get your partners address. you don't have to wait for the deadline date. just wanted to give enough time.

Susan 05/11/2008 #

I added 1 more day because of it being a Sunday + its Mother's Day there are around 10 more to be sent, hope they all will be sent out soon, please keep in touch with your partner if sending late. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SENT AND

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms here and everyone else I say Happy Mothers Day to your mothers! and Everyone have a great WEEK!
