Description:

This swap is for an inexpensive Etsy surprise. All those goodies you've been scrolling through and ♥favorited♥ but can't quite justify buying yourself-- here's your chance to have some of them magically show up in your mailbox. :) It's also a fun chance to go shopping for someone else and KNOW that they'll absolutely love what you get them, and be excited by the surprise.

Here are the rules:

Before partners are assigned:
In order for it to BE a surprise, and give your partner the fun of a real shopping experience, please have at least a dozen items priced between$5-$7 on the Etsy favorites list that is linked to your swap-bot profile. It's fun (but entirely optional) to include lots more in the $2-$5 range in case they would like to send you a couple of things.
I will be checking that you meet the 12-item requirement before assigning partners. :)

PLEASE double-check to be certain that the sellers of your favorited items actually ship to your country. This is very important.

Once partners have been assigned
You will go to your partner's profile page and click on the link to her/his Etsy wishlist(s). Now, you get to go shopping for your partner! The item(s) you choose for your partner should total $5-$7 BEFORE shipping costs. You can often get a bargain on shipping if you buy more than one thing from the same seller. Etsy sellers will almost always agree to ship directly to your partner, and add a note if you request it. That makes this a fun swap we can do without ever leaving home!

Please let your partner know once you've ordered, and do let your partner know if more than one package is expected, though you can keep the items themselves a surprise.

All group members must maintain well-filled-out profiles and meet the requirement of at least a 4.98 rating to join. In the unlikely event that it's necessary, I will angel this swap after you have attempted to contact your partner and honestly rated a "1" for a no-send.

In order to receive a 5, you must send your partner an item or items totaling at least $5-$7 before shipping which you have chosen from your partner's Etsy wishlist. Items must be purchased by the swap send-by date, and you should let your partner know when you have purchased them.

Please rate anyone a 5 as long as they meet these criteria. Hearts are, of course, at your own discretion.

There will be time to update your wishlist before partner assignment, and ten full days to shop once partners have been assigned. Please do not sign up for this round if you can't make your purchase by the send-by date.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have fun swapping! ♥

I'll be assigning partners tonight, in order to give a couple of the swap participants a little extra time to choose some more favorites. Have fun!

Hello all. Partners have been assigned. Since 2 of the folks who signed up didn't meet the minimum item requirement and so couldn't join us this time, I will be adjusting my language in the future to make the requirement more clear and concise. I apologize for any confusion, and look forward to swapping with you in the future!
