Description:

The best medicine is a wonderful swap from a Dunce Corner Dandy! For this swap you need to be medicated! Or else you won't have anything to stuff full of surprises for your partner. Even if you aren't 'officially' medicated a nice sized Tylenol bottle or some other over the counter medicine bottle comparable to a prescription sized bottle will work.

Simply find one of your EMPTY pill bottles and fill it full of neat surprises for your partners. It might be a good idea to rinse the bottle out first and then maybe remove the label or at least mark it out.

Some ideas of what you might include:
* Charms
* Ribbon
* Bracelet
* Small pair of earrings
* Beads
* Embellishments such as brads, rhinestones, etc.
* Novelty erasers
* Pressed penny

Just use your imagination and see what you can come up with to cram in the bottle.

Sizes vary at different pharmacies, but the bottles I have from Target measure about 3" tall (including the cap) and 1.25" wide at the widest point and and a little less than half an inch at the narrowest. Sample sized bottles are okay, but don't just send one sample bottle...I would think about 3 would be appropriate.

I think we will all be surprised at how many great goodies we can fit in these tiny treasure boxes!

Dandies are welcomed to join! If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help.

This swap is inspired by the one RyeRye hosted earlier with the 20 oz. bottle. :) If anyone wants to swipe this for international, please feel free to do so.
