Description:

There have been some swaps where you send something to your partner's loved one who is curious or jealous about swapping and sending and receiving stuff from people they don't know. Often these partners are mentioned as "husbands" or "boyfriends", as people tend to think most swappers here are heterosexual women. This swap is different from those: you, as well as your partner, can be women, men, anything from between or none of the previous. It's enough if you're human and consider each other partners. You can be married or not, live together or in separate addresses, whatever, if you just feel you belong together.

In this swap you are to send 3-5 items to your swap partner's partner. To know what to send, each participant must list a few of their spouse's fields of interest in the swap comments. You can list general interests, like "anything sailing themed" or "sweets", and more detailed interests, like "World of Warcraft" or "Skittles", favourite colours, and whatever you think your spouse would like and what would make it easier for your swap partner to choose things to send.

The budget should be something like 7€ / £6 / $9 excluding postage but it's more about sending something that would make the recipient happy.

Make it useful. The spouses aren't necessarily craft people or know stuff that are elementary to us, so they e.g. might not know what an ATC is or have any use for them. Think outside the craft box, so to say :-) Handmade items are welcome though if it's something that otherwise fits.

If you think it matters, you may mention if your partner is male or female, but you don't need to. Let's not mention people's names here or list separate addresses in the comments. After all, it's about people who haven't knowingly listed their names and addresses here. You send the stuff to your swap partner and they give them on to their spouses. Just add the name of this swap on the envelope so they know which swap this is for.

Add a note to your partner's partner where you tell what this swap is about.

To participate, you need to have done at least five Type 3 swaps. No unexplained or recent 3 or 1 ratings, contact me if you have something to explain. This is an international swap so be prepared to send to other parts of the world. Although this isn't about you, please have a well filled profile so I know you are serious about swapping.

My partner is male. He is interested in fishing and hunting, cooking, sweets, fantasy movies, books and gaming (e.g. LOTR, Forgotten Realms stuff with dark elves and Drizzt Do'Urden), coffee, action films, superheroes (Wolverine and such), paranormal stuff (we're watching Fringe on Netflix), quiz type board games (we play different versions of Trivial Pursuit a lot)...

Yay! Thank you for this swap!

LIKES: The love of my life likes: plain dark chocolate, unflavored green tea (preferably loose leaf), Bernese mountain dogs, bicycling, running (marathons), outdoorsy activities (especially hiking - small inexpensive hiking or camping equipment would be super cool!), protein bars, sport drink mix sachets, Buff (or any other brand, she has a cheap taste :D ) tube scarves... She likes the colors blue, orange, black and pink.

DISLIKES: She does not like grape, cinnamon or cherry flavors She doesn't do crafts and she doesn't do penpalling; she doesn't like ephemera, stickers, anything too girly, jewellery, postcards/notecards (except if there is a photo of a Bernese Mountain dog)

Kaylahenry13, feel free to set up one yourself. I don't live in the States so I can't do USA only swaps.

Wonderful swap! My hubby has his birthday on November 6 and I think that will be an awesome surprise :)!

My partner is a male. He's a very well educated person who studied ancient greek and latin and loves both, currently he is studying computer science and is very fond of math. He also loves computers a lot and everything to do with them. He loves programming. His favourite colour is blue. Aside from all those likes, he also really loves LEGO (and has a collection). He likes Linux.

He LOVES Japan and everything Japanese. He loves the culture and language and pretty much everything from there. He loves Anime also.

He doesn't like anything to do with crafting because he's not good at it, he doesn't like liquorice.

If you want to know more about him, you can pm me :).

My partner is male. He is a computer engineering, he loves programming, technology and playing games. He doesn't like crafts, postcards, stamps, washi tape or cute things like I do. He is more the opposite, but he enjoys when I receive cute swaps, hehe.

This kind of books, novels, magazines, etc. can be used / second-handed (not too damaged) since it's just for reading :) * Chocolate: in bars, in snacks, in candies...
