Description:
No comment at the bottom will have you removed from the swap. This is just like the title says, you are going to be a not so secret Santa! Amazon and Etsy are highly encouraged, unless you want to go out and find your partner something local to wrap and send directly --I don't like having to say this, but I am seeing a lot of 3s and 1s going out lately when they shouldn't be. If you check the side panel - View participant, you can see when your partner says they sent things.-- From there add 8 weeks...YES, 8 weeks. The USPS has admitted to slowing down flat rate mail and upping the costs of packages for the holiday season. Minimum 20$ gift limit, wrapped / not wrapped is up to you. Guidelines: This should be a gift! Not some random things from your stash unless it's unopened/nothing missing item. Should be something you would love to receive Should require some thought and be tailored to your partners likes. Ask your partner questions, look at a wish list, read their profile; find your partner a fun Christmas / Holiday Gift After my second year hosting this and seeing all the things that I did, I am going to add more steps! Step One# In the comments below please tell us about you. + Your likes + Dislikes! + Favorite things: colors, snacks / candy + Wishlist! Mandatory + Mandatory - Do you want something from your Wishlist or to be surprised? This will be checked at the time of assigning, if there is no comment you will be removed. Step Two# Does your partner only want things off the Wishlist or do they want to be surprised. - be sure to read their comment before going shopping. After these two steps have been done, you can proceed to finding your partner that perfect gift! This gift should not be stickers slapped on tags, misc. pieces from your stash that you want to get rid of ETC. This gift can include stationery that you have never opened! Only if it meets your partners likes. But I must add that if you do this it only counts as a few dollars off your 20$ minimum. Finally, I shouldn't have to say this; but if you can't afford 20$ gift or 10$ shipping (Total of 30$) Please don't join this exchange. This is a time for you to be creative and! YOU get a month lead time to get something together and send it just in time for the holidays. Rate a 5 only after you have opened your package!! as long as you got something worth at least 20$ inside. Am hoping that there is communication going on here to make this a better year for this exchange. Remember to include somewhere that this if for Christmas/Holiday Gift Exchange. --I will be checking profiles to ensure success and fun for everyone.-- Everyone will be checked for location, activity, and ratings. I can't believe I am having to add this. If I find people are rating "ones" unfairly, 3 months after the swap was sent, are noncommunicative, etc. You will no longer be welcome in my swaps.

My profile is pretty filled out, but a shorter list of things I like are: crows/ravens, the ocean, the moon, things with a "witchy" or "earthy" feel. I love dark chocolate.

I would like to be surprised. I love teeny/miniature items. My favorite colors are Royal blue and/or Colbalt blue. Love fairies, gnomes, dragons (Fantasy). Lush brand Dirty Wash scent. I don't have a Wishlist but would appreciate anything listed in my profile.

My profile and wishlist are both filled out. + Favorite things: Dark Blues. Beef jerky, but the very dry stuff. Fun socks, ankle length. + Dislike: Pink, Kawaii, Girly + Do you want something from your Wishlist or to be surprised? Either, I'm not picky, just happy to be participating!

My likes are on my profile and I also have my wishlist. I love handmade items, vintage or vintage inspired items, or whatever you’d like to give me after reading my profile! I pretty much like all colors but fave would be blue. I don’t care if the item is from my wishlist or you’d like to surprise me! I pretty much love any kind of candy or snack.

I have a wishlist on my profile to help inspire you. Blue and green would be my fave colors, but I like them all. I love things for collage and mixed media, postal related items, personalized address labels, labels to put others addresses on in swaps, deer are my fave animal, weird postcards, bath bombs/bubble bath/bath oil/etc (just no melon, cucumber, or rose scents please), vintage photos, old maps, old books in languages other than english, your fave art supplies, i wear a unisex xl. no jewelry, food, or things with cartoon/movie characters on them.

I just noticed I never put a comment of my own.

I have an overwhelming profile page, but I also have a good wishlist up for a few places for you to browse and get ideas for.

I love the color Blue, I read like you wouldn't believe, I already finished my 320 book goal for the year.

Surprise me and be creative in what you send.
