Description:

My husband always seems a little envious when I get all these gorgeous packages in the mail and he just gets the bills and flyers.

So after reading another international swap like this, I thought it might be fun to do this one for Canada & US. (for postage reasons)

You will have one swap partner, and you will compose a package worth about 10-15 dollars, for your partners significant other.

IMPORTANT: After you sign up for this swap, you need to make a list of some of the things your significant other would like, and his/her name, in the comments section below!

Now the rules: There is a 4.0 rating minimum for this swap, remember it is Canada & US only, so consider shipping costs when purchasing for this swap. No recent resends and absolutely no nosends!

Also, remember to address the package out to your partners significant other!

Let's have fun with this one everyone!

My husbands name is Joe. He's kind of hard to buy for, but he loves dark chocolate, old movies, small notepads (he is a researcher), good pens (either felt or ball point), postcards, stuff from other countries, like lapel pins, little information booklets, interesting historical facts about the town or city you live in.

His favorite color is burgundy. He loves dogs (we have a 2 year old black lab).

Hope that helps!

YAY! I love this idea! I am not supposed to do any more big swaps, but he can't get mad at this one! LOL!

My husbands name is Keith. He LOVES LOVES LOVES the Dallas Cowboys, so anything navy and silver will do if you cant find Cowboys stuff. Ties are always good for him, but nothing too crazy. He also loves candy, mostly anything except hard candies, but he adores chocolate and carmel together, and his favorite candy bar is Heath.

He also likes to bass fish. So lures and stuff are always needed. I have ablsolutely no idea what kind of lures, but i am sure there are some that are for bass fishing! (I have maybe heard him talk of spinners...lol)

So, those are his 2 favorite hobbies, but he is pretty easy to please! Just manly stuff! Is this isn't enough when we get assigned feel free to PM me with questions!

I just have to ask - why these envious husbands don't come to swap-bot themselves? Do they just want to receive without giving, huh? ;)

MamaBowers 10/19/2007 #

LOL! they just aren't crafty enough!

Weeell, I hope this isn't TOO terribly deviant, but my other is a laaaady. But she is awful jealous of swap-bot, because it takes all my time(and money), so I know she will definitely enjoy getting something out of it.

So, her name is Krystal. She loves:

-animals, especially dogs(she has a dog and a leopard gecko and a betta fish)
-ice cream
-National Geographics
-vintage anything(REAL vintage, of course)
-the color green
-READING
-drawing(especially with the standard white-with-black-cap kind of ball point pens)
-msnbc.com
-anything cute/obscure/weird

She doesn't live with me, so you'd have to address it to me and then maybe inside the package have it addressed to her <3

There should be a way to edit your comments! Cause I forgot the most important stuff: anything that smells good. Incense, candles, lotion, and anything shower related(shower gel, soap, shampoos, etc).

rubypickles 10/20/2007 #

Great idea!

My husband's name is Adam... he's a banker, so he wears a lot of ties. He's also a sport fanatic - he loves the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Buffalo Bills. He's also really into poker and magazines (sports, men's mags like Maxim). He doesn't do books...

He likes candy, funny t-shirts (size L), and TV (sports shows, King of Queens, Seinfeld, Las Vegas, Law and Order:SVU, Big Shots, Dirty Sexy Money), "boy" movies(i.e., action or funny)(PM if you need to know which ones we have or don't have). He plays hockey and fastball.

If you have any questions, PM me!

My husband's name is Dana, he is a firefighter. He loves the new england patriots and boston redsox. he is not very picky, and says he would enjoy any kind of surprise as long as its manly not girly, LOL!

My husbands name is Pat and he loves model cars! in the most obsessive serious way. Size 1:24, so anything for him to build with would be appreciated- old models if you have them, or even just peices, decals or modelling tools (exacto blades and stuff like that).
He also loves NHL hockey, the canucks in particular, he is a goalie.

I would love to be assigned a Canadian partner if possible (for shipping reasons, and also I haven't had a Canadian partner yet!). Thanks.

aestheticonion 10/25/2007 #

oh, I want to do this one. But I'm very new to this, so I hope it happens again once I get a few swaps under my belt.

stacirose 10/27/2007 #

My partner's info is in my profile...but I don't see my swap partner's info on her significant other. It isn't here or on her profile and I sent her a message yesterday. Any suggestions?

Shaerlindria 10/27/2007 #

I agree, there should be a way to edit your original post...cause I should have given more ideas too.

He loves shows like Millinium, X-Files andthing with a conspiracy theory or aliens and if there is both, that's his show!

He likes action movies, plain t-shirts(L)with no emblems or signatures or anything.

He loves old westerns, his favorite actor is Steve McQueen. He is 46 years old.

I hope that helps, if you want to double check something, just send me a message. I'll do my best to give advice!

Oh ya! He doesn't do cologne or aftershave or jewelry.

MamaBowers 10/28/2007 #

Yeah, i wanted to add more on my hubby too, to make sure it was easy to buy for him here are some likes and dislikes.

He loves to read (he is right now reading some John Grisham novels--so he likes that kind of stuff). He likes action movies, but no R rated movies. He doesn't drink coffe or tea. He isn't really into any mens mags or stuff like that. He is a student in Law school so cool pens and stuff are always needed.

Seriously any questions just PM me! I really want him to love his package, it is a surprise! (oh and please address to him--Keith Bowers.

stacirose 10/31/2007 #

Um...still no word. I hope I can get everything together by the 5th! I'm planning a surprise party for my mother-in-law on the 3rd! :P

Any suggestions?

stacirose 11/ 1/2007 #

Got it sorted out! I'll be sending to MamaBowers and I already have some great ideas!!!! :D

Thank you oh wonderful host! :)
