Description:

This idea was inspired by Jekyll & Hyde and graphology (handwriting analysis, a pseudoscience but still fun).

For this swap, the minimum requirements are:

  • a notecard/postcard's worth of writing in an envelope (you can write more if you like)
  • small surprise of 2 items that are opposites/very different but still share something in common
  • an explanation of your surprise's theme and difference

Half your note should be in one style of handwriting, maybe your "normal" style. In the other half, make your handwriting as different as possible. Don't just go from cursive to block lettering-- do you write numbers a certain way? How do you write the letter a? Do you cross your t's at a certain height?

The surprise should be at least 2 items that are the same type of item. They should be a common theme, but opposites of that theme. For example, maybe you send 2 unwritten bug postcards, but one is an "ugly" bug while one is a "pretty" bug. Or you send 2 seasonal washi tape samples, but one shows snow (winter) while the other shows a sunny beach (summer).

Optional: decorate the back of your envelope one way and the front of the envelope another way to really fit the theme. ;)
