Who's ready for a scavenger hunt?

For this scavenger hunt, you'll have 25 categories. Choose 20 of the 25 categories and send something to your partner something flat that fits that category. Please be sure to indicate which category the item fits in by numbering the item on the back, attaching as sticky note, or a letter of explanation.

What kind of items can you send? Anything flat that's bigger than a quarter - stamps/postcards/magazine cutouts/stickers (not sticker flakes, please)/tickets/ephemera - basically anything flat that's not smelly or dirty!

Here are the categories:

  1. Sea
  2. Transportation
  3. Yummy
  4. Unusual
  5. Children
  6. Fuzzy animals
  7. Colorful
  8. Foreign
  9. What is this?!?
  10. Music
  11. Television
  12. Movies
  13. Vintage
  14. Fashion
  15. Around the house
  16. Work
  17. Nature
  18. Decorative
  19. Wish List (any item you wish for)
  20. Imagination
  21. Beautiful
  22. Words
  23. Love
  24. Favorite color (anything in your favorite color)
  25. Artistic

This is sender's choice and open to their interpretation. So as long as you get 20 items that are marked as to their category, please rate a "5". For extra fun, you could do all 25 categories and/or decorate your envelope because we all love to get something pretty in the mail!

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask! If there's enough interest, I'd be happy to do this as a series! Happy hunting!

Question about #19 - any item I wish for, not an item my partner wishes for?

What is a sticker flake? How is it different from regular stickers?

chelle523 08/ 8/2016 #

@daily It's any item that you wish for! (a pic or representation of it works fine - don't have to send the actual item!) :)

@PrairieKittin Sticker flakes are tiny individually cut stickers - usually about the size of a fingernail, often foil and they'll often come in a plastic bag of a hundred or more. If you'd like to see some examples, search "sticker flakes" on Google. (I can't seem to figure out how to post photos in comments! LOL)

Hi,

For magazine cutouts do you mean an image of one of the categories? I am wondering if the recipient is expecting flat things they can use .I would not wish to be rated down if I sent cutouts as part of my package versus everything of monetary value (e.g. postcard)

Good question...I wondered that too

chelle523 08/16/2016 #

@tulipqueen Magazine cutouts are just fine! This is a creative swap versus one that involves expense!

thank you!

A package went out to my partner yesterday. Enjoy!

Can I send different categories but the same items? Example, I have postcards of several categories.
