Description:

Wouldn't you love to have a swap sitting there looking at you and you are not allowed to open it until Valentine's Day?? Torture or Exciting? You be the judge and tell me all about it in the comments below.

This swap is really simple. Send a Valentine's day themed swap to 2 partners. Sender's choice. Fill the envelope with lots of little things so that your partner is flowing with presents.

To keep it fair I am stipulating weight, dimensions & cost as below: Large letter 125g 260 x 360 x 20mm $1.40

Must have : 1 Hand made by you art piece (card / ATC / Inchie / Bookmark / drawing) and must be gifted to your partner "To so-so, hope you enjoy what I made for you".

The rest is up to you to fill the weight requirement as you see fit. Items may be store bought or hand made.

Some ideas include:

  • Stickers
  • Postcards
  • Washi tape samples (at least 12 in. each) or 1 roll of unused washi tape
  • Bookmarks
  • Ephemera (book pages, maps, tickets, foreign languages,ect)
  • Decorative recipe cards
  • 1 sheet of 30 address labels with your partners address -1 souvenir from where you live
  • Store bought Valentine item
  • A profile based gift

Newbies welcomed, with a well filled out profile (I DO CHECK AND DONT WANT TO HAVE TO BAN). No recent/unexplained low ratings.

I am making the deadline 2 weeks before V-day so that your item can have time to get there and sit waiting for your partner and drive them crazy! If you can, try to get the package out as soon as partners are assigned. Absolutely NO PEAKING. And if you do, you must repent in the comment section below lol.

And above all, have fun!!

If don't have big envelopes can I just send two or three envelopes to same person?

A C4 envelope measures W 224mm L 324mm A4 size, I hope this is ok to use this size. because I havent any bigger and dont know where to buy them

Yes DancingHuskies, you can, but it'll cost you more in postage...why don't you try the post office where you send your stuff, they either have packs of envelope or you can buy just one off them for I don't know 60c maybe???
