Description:

Isn't it fun to receive a letter or swap package in the mail only to open it and find that the sender included a little "extra" surprise item?

The purpose of this swap is to help brainstorm a list of many possible ideas for little "extra" surprise items to include when sending out swaps. Only those who send will receive the best part of this swap, so read the instructions carefully!

  1. Write a list of 5 little "extra" items you have enjoyed receiving in a swap in the past.

  2. Write a list of 5 OTHER little "extra" items you think you would enjoy finding in a future swap package. Include items that could be reasonably included without increasing postage too much, but try to be original, too!

  3. Mail both lists to your partner. Include a little "extra" surprise, of course! The surprise might be something on your list or it might be something else. This is up to you.

  4. Email both lists to me. (I will provide my email address after sign ups close).

  5. Sit back and wait for your partner's lists to arrive. When your partner's list arrives, email me to let me know. IF YOUR PARTNER'S LIST DOES NOT ARRIVE AFTER 2 WEEKS EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW!

  6. I will compile a comprehensive list including everybody's ideas for what could be sent as a surprise in a future swap package. Depending on how many people participate, this could be quite a list! Then, I will email the comprehensive list to all the swappers who completed thier end of this swap! (Of course, I will Blind carbon copy the list so that everybody's privacy is protected!)

Here is the catch: If you do not send your list to your partner, you will not be receiving the comprehensive list!

So, for the cost of one measly little stamp you will be receiving a list with many, many ideas!

Fine Print: International swap; Almost everybody welcome. I will ban only those who I think are chronic no-senders. If you have a low rating, please email me to explain.

This swap is quick & easy! Have fun!

Great idea for a swap TQ1! Just thought, the comprehensive list could then be made into one of those 'Pick 5 Items from the List' Swaps that we all love so much!!!

That's a terrific idea...With 16 people signed up so far there should be enough ideas to do several "pick 5" swaps! :)

I just got back from the post office--the letter-packet should arrive in England in 10 business days. Please let me know if you do not receive it by June 14th...
