Last day to signup/drop:January 29, 2014
Date items must be sent by:March 5, 2014
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap you will have one partner for which you should purchase a purse/bag and place 5 items you deem absolutely necessary for every person to have in their purse.

Some examples: Gum, Keychain, Chapstick, notepad/pen kit, compact, coin purse, etc

Try to get items specific to your partner. So if your partner does not like gum, perhaps get a package of their favorite candy. Or if your partner is a vegan or animals rights activist, don't send them a rabbit's foot keychain.

With the bag and five items, the sender is also responsible for writing a letter explaining why each item sent is a necessity.

This is a type 3 swap. You will be sending a large/envelope or package depending on the size of the purse. Please keep this in mind when joining. Be responsible and do not flake. Thank you.

Package will have to be sent on Feburary 22 in order to give everyone enough time to gather their bag and items.

EDIT: bag can be new or from a thrift store. But the bag has to be in good condition. The bag shoul be no more than $15. As for what qualifies a bag, a clutch, a wristlet, a messenger bag can all count as the purse. Keep in mind that the bag should be big enough to hold the 5 items. if you have questions about a specific bag feel free to pm me.

As for price range, I was hoping no one spent more than $25 on the purse and items combined. If they are any questions about specific items and prices please pm me.

Oh my, does this look like fun! I will have to watch, and check the February budget. Any thoughts on spending limits? Does the purse have to be new, or is a thrift shop purse acceptable?

Same question as the previous poster. Purses can be very expensive! Or are these little, cutsy bags?

TechGirl10 01/16/2014 #

This sounds like fun :) I will join if the requirements are amended to include a spending limit or range. Thanks!

Caitlyn322 01/17/2014 #

Wow I wasn't sure if people were going to be interested in this one! Okay here goes some answers:

@midwestkiwi as long a the purse is in good condition it can used/thrift store/vintage.

@valreinking nothing expensive. The bag should be cutsy little but big enought to fit the 5 items.

@techgirl10 I put a price range.

If anyone wants to spend more or needs to spend less and wants to join the swap please message me. I want a fun swap that is fair to everyone and their wallet. If there are any other questions or concerns regarding specific bags items or prices feel free to pm me!

I don't mind thrift store finds as long as there are no stains or smells on it. I like medium size purses....clutches are too small and I don't carry a lot of stuff that would fit in a tote sized purse. Thanks:) would love anything dog themed:)

I agree ~ A clutch is too small :) Thanks,

Question: I have a local friend who makes quilted bags (they are beautiful) and she said she would make me one/sell me one at cost for this swap. Does the bag have to commercially manufactured or would this type of bag be acceptable?

Just FYI: whomever gets assigned to send to me, as long as the bag/purse is in good shape, I don't mind if it is used. And if you have a messenger bag in good shape that you're not using anymore, you can feel free to save a few dollars and send that. :) I'm easy to please when it comes to purses! LOL

Caitlyn322 02/ 8/2014 #

@carmicwords the bag would be acceptable :)

I am rating my partner a 3 as soon as the option is available 2 weeks after the extended send date. I see she has signed in today and has deleted her profile description!

Yea, I just signed on and saw my partner is on partial suspension:( oh well, guess no purse for me:( this is why I stopped doing swapping for awhile.
