Pages should have great care and effort. Don't wait till the last minute and scribble a bunch of stuff and stick some stuff in and send it. Make what you would want to receive.

Gifts stuck in should amount to $5 or more.

Due to the amount of time and effort required, participants must have at least 5 type 3 swaps and 5 type 2 swaps completed.
