Description:

Birthdays should be celebrated. I couldn't find an October birthday gift swap (if I'm wrong please let me know and I'll cancel this one) and I wanted to give and get for my birthday!

For this swap you will send birthday gifts to TWO people. Take a look at their profile and come up with a lovely, thoughtful gift they will love, somewhere in the $5-10 range. Please wrap it and include a card. Send it off to them with your best birthday wishes.

In the comments section please list any allergies, but otherwise please limit specific requests. Part of the fun is the surprise, right?

Critera:

  • you must have an October birthday to participate in this swap.

  • no no-sends in the last three months

  • rating of at least 4.7

  • newbies may join IF they have a completed profile AND they PM me with a personal promise that they won't flake out. This is a birthday gift, I want everyone to feel appreciated

  • you also have to commit to rating your partners promptly.

If you don't meet this criteria PM me and we'll talk.

This is an international swap.

Happy birthday ladies! let's play!

I have added this swap to my watch List. If my budget works out I will sign up.

Brilliant idea! My birthday's on 17th October. :) This is an international swap, yes?

As to allergies or anything... As much as I love chocolate and sweets, I can't eat too much of them so (some chocolate causes me headaches)... if anyone would like to add some candy to my gifts they're very much appreciated but please no piles of them. :)

Simone 09/ 5/2008 #

WOW - I am also on the 17th October.

DisconnecttheBlythe 09/ 8/2008 #

The only thing I request is no food/chocolate. Often times when I get a package that has them in there, they are usually melted/smooshed and I have no idea what it is lol.

Would I be able to join this as a Suprise for my mom? her birthday is October 24... I will send to someone else if someone will send to her..

storylaura 09/14/2008 #

It's fine with me if you enter for your mom. Thanks for checking first. Please let your partner know - generally - what your mom likes.

ParkinsCrw 09/14/2008 #

My birthday is October 9. I'm turning 21 this year. Very exciting! I probably won't receive anything that's sent before my actual birthday so there's no hurry. A present a week or two after my birthday will be nice. I'll probably still be celebrating anyway =)

Starberrie 09/22/2008 #

My birthday is on the 28, I an looking forward to this!

ParkinsCrw 09/22/2008 #

Sorry about the double post.. I was on my husbands blackberry and it appeared that it didn't go through So i attempted a second time.

storylaura 09/24/2008 #

And my birthday is Oct 27. Please let your oct birthday swapbot friends know about this swap. Should be fun!

Hi, my bday is on October 11. I'll be turning 19 this year too! and it was my friend that convinced me to join this swap. Sadly, i don't think i'll be celebrating my bday this year, therefore receiving presents from here sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to picking the presents for my partner!! =)

comeylote 09/28/2008 #

Hello ladies! Firstly, thanks storylaura for letting me in!I didn't expect that I'd be accepted because I'm a newbie with no rating yet.

My bday is on 23rd October and I'll turn 26 at that time.

Ok, here's something I found about us.

---------------OCTOBER BABY ------------------- Loves to chat. Loves those who love them. Loves to takes things at the centre. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Brave and fearless. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care to control emotions. Unpredictable. Extremely smart, but definitely the hottest AND sexiest of them all.

Did u find it true?

comeylote 09/28/2008 #

I don't have any allergy but I hope I won't get any food because I really want to keep the presents

DisconnecttheBlythe 09/28/2008 #

My Birthday is October 27. I'm going to be 25. Ah

dangducks 09/29/2008 #

My birthday is Oct. 26th and I'll be 21! I think I'm going to stay at home and accept phone calls, I don't want to miss it by being wasted!

I also don't want foods.

Mothercourage 10/ 1/2008 #

Thanks for letting me join. I'm a newbie, and my birthday is October 10. I have no allergies, and love handmade things. I'm going to be 48, and I love to knit, spin my own yarn out of wool, Alpaca and silk, and am a beginning quilter. I'm an amateur sewer, but would like to be better at it. I'm a skilled basket weaver, but I have set that aside to do other things. I am also a screen printer, but currently don't have room to explore. I love books, but have more than I can read in the next 30 years. I'm mercurial about my musical tastes. I don't like candles of any kind.

I've browsed the site a bit, and I don't know what a lot of the popular swaps are, like Kawaii, and I don't entirely know what ATC encompasses. It appears to be collage, am I right?

I like pretty papers, floral scents, herbs, plants, antique photos, personal histories, tales of the arctic, handmade things, and I've been told I have a weird obsession with soaps. I don't know about that, but I seem to have a need for fruity smelling soaps.

My Birthday is October 5th. I'll be 22. =] As long as there is no chocolate I'm good. Thanks. =]

Starberrie 10/ 3/2008 #

Opps I forgot my allergy list. I can't take anything: heavily floral, pineapple-relateed and cantaloupes.

Sorry if this is a little late!
