ROUND 2

I love the idea of swapping a whimsey jar, but wouldn't really want the jar hanging around. So how about a functional container filled with the same types of items you'd put in a whimsey jar?

For this swap, you will fill ONE new 3-cup Rubbermaid Premier plastic container (sandwich size) for ONE partner with at least $10 worth of items (BEFORE shipping and the cost of the Rubbermaid Premier container) that will be based on your partner's profile and wishlist below. Each swapper should post a wishlist of 10 low-to-medium cost ($0-$5) items below. When sending to your partner, pick at least 3 of these things to include. The other "whimsey" items are up to you, but they should be inspired by your partner's profile, and the total for all items (excluding shipping and the cost of the container) should be at least $10. (The total number of items in the container will be at least 3, up to however many it takes to fill the container and get to $10.)

Now, with regards to decorating the Rubbermaid Premier: don't glue, tape, paint, write or otherwise alter the container. The idea is for this to be an "untouched" container that you can use. However, please feel free to wrap the container in ribbon, decorate a paper "ring" to insert inside the container (like the "wrong" side of the label) or someway decorate without altering the container.

Recap

  • Every swapper creates a wishlist in the comment section of this swap of 10 items ranging in cost from nothing to $5 each (most should be lower cost)

  • Use ONE new 3-cup, sandwich size Rubbermaid Premier Container, with NO permanent alterations (must be Rubbermaid Premier, be sure you can get one before joining!).

  • Fill it up with at least 3 items from the wishlist that your partner posts below. The rest of the items should be inspired by your partner's profile. Total cost for all items used to fill the container should be at least $10 (NOT including the cost of the Rubbermaid Premier or shipping). Total # of items in the container is at least 3.
