For this swap the rules are pretty basic. I highly recommend sending packages by Pirate Ship to save on shipping.

RULES

*You will have 2 partners.

*Once partners are assigned you need to look at their profile and get some different ideas of things that they may like. BUT SEE THE GIFT RULES BELOW BECAUSE THERE ARE GIFT CATERGORIES TO FOLLOW.

*For each partner you will gift them 4 small items. Each item should be wrapped individually. You will mail to each partner their 4 wrapped items in one package.

*By the first week of December each person in the swap should have received 2 packages with 4 individually wrapped gifts in each for a TOTAL OF 8 GIFTS TO OPEN STARTING ON THE 17TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS.

*Starting on December 17th pick ANY of the 8 gifts you received to open. Then each day open one more.... on and on until Christmas Eve you have none left to open.

GIFT RULES:

Rule #1- 1 SPECIAL GIFT SHOULD BE HANDMADE

(LIKE AN ALTERED TIN, A SMALL JUNK JOURNAL, A HANDMADE POTHOLDER OR TEA TOWEL, HANDMADE PIECE OF JEWELRY, A COUPLE DECORATED PAPER CLIPS WITH A POST-IT NOTE HOLDER)

Rule #2- 1 GIFT SHOULD BE SOMETHING CHRISTMAS RELATED THAT YOUR PARTNER CAN DISPLAY

(NOTHING FANCY LIKE! Some ideas you could send- A SMALL PRINT, AN ORNAMENT, a figurine, A MINI SANTA, OR EVEN JUST A CHRISTMAS KITCHEN UTENCIL... LIKE THOSE RUBBER SPATULAS )

Rule #3 and 4- The last gifts should be profile specific. So check out your partners likes and try and send them something from it. This item should be brand new or like new. You may gift something from your craft stash if it is still in good shape.

(examples include a couple rolls of washi tape, or a set of highlighters, a package of unused notecards with a nice pen, a couple packages of stickers in their favorite flower or color or character, a Harry Potter item, their favorite candy bar, a mug with some hot cocoa packets)

DO NOT WRITE ANY NUMBERS ON THE GIFT. JUST WRITE YOUR NAME ON ALL OF THE ONES FROM YOU. THAT CAN HELP FOR YOUR PARTNERS WHEN THEY RATE YOU THEY CAN COMMENT ON WHAT YOU SENT THEM.

Must have no recent 1's or 3's. Must have completed at least 30 Type 3 swaps.
