Five Weeks Flat

For this swap, you will send 4 envelopes (1 per week for 4 weeks) + 1 item of your choice (MUST BE SNAIL MAILED, NOT EMAILED!) to your partner that fit the requirements listed below.

You are required to mail out by the Friday of each week.

WEEK ONE (Feb. 25): A 1-page letter introducing yourself + a trinket/souvenir from your state/city/town/island. Make this profile based if possible. If your partner likes magnets, try to find and send one that depicts your city and/or has its name.

WEEK TWO (Mar. 4): Two of your favorite recipes and a note about them. Maybe a story about when you first made it, or the person who gave it to you. Maybe it has a history or a link to a holiday or something like that. Make it interesting! Remember to check your partner's profile for dietary restrictions.

WEEK THREE (Mar. 11): Three profile surprises. Stickers, bookmarks, stationery, pens, unique coins, postcards, headbands, etc.

WEEK FOUR (Mar 18): Four ideas or suggestions for your partner + 1 beverage (tea/cocoa/coffee). Suggestions can be for television shows, books, music, craft instructions, interest-based blogs/websites. Try to choose things that, based on your partner's profile, you think they will like. Tell them what led you to suggest each thing.

WEEK FIVE (Mar. 25): It's high-five time! Sender's choice! Send something nice. Try to win yourself a heart!

Remember that it's always nice to include a letter/note to make it more personal. Most of us like to know a little bit about our partners and where they're from.
