Description:

First use a jar or better yet a tupperware/rubbermaid sytle container that is at least the 2 cup size.

Inside you should fill it with wonderful geeky items. Please list below some of your favorite geeky things. You can pick a theme your partner would love like Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, ect. Or you can mix things they will like.

Please make a wish list. If you have a theme you would LOVE for someone to do just put that in your comment, but please give them some other options!

Decorate the container too!!

Please look to spend at least $10 on this swap.

If you are a crafty person Homemade items are great to go with store bought items. Ebay and Etsy can also be great resources for hard to find themed items :)

Update: What is a Whimsey Jar? You take a Jar and decorate it. Then you stuff it full of as much stuff as possible. If you find or make something that you really want to include that wont fit in the jar you can just wrap it and include in the box when you ship :) The photo is an example of a whimsey jar I found on Flickr. They often have a theme, so you want to try and tie the items together. If you partner loved Twilight you decorate the container and fill it with Twilight items. I saw a twilight jar that had a little red crochet heart. Another with all red and black items like buttons, ribbons, glitter. Just be creative and stuff as much in as you can!! Anyone else have definition of what a Whimsey Jar is please add it below!!

I cannot angel this so no flakers please. No unexplained 1s or 3s. If you have 1s or 3s please message me! Thank you so much! Any questions just message me!

If you look on Flickr and just search for Whimsey Jar to get some ideas. trickets, small plushies, cards, themed stickers, craft items (if your partner does crafts), candies, stamps, pins, buttons, ect. pretty much anything small enough to fit into the jar/container you picked.

But I also play DnD so would love some unique/shiney/glitter/pretty dice.
I do love Chobbits.
Nintendo is also a favorite of mine.

Hi! I am really into LOTR at the moment. I am reading it for another swap that I'm in. I really liked reading the Hobbit too. :) Hobbits & Elves are my favorites.

I am a total HP geek! Anything to do with Harry Potter would be awesome! Sirius Black is still my favorite even though he is gone.

I am also into Tim Burton films & my boys can't live without Star Wars. Oh! And Yoshi is a big like with the younger guys in my house too. :)

My Hubby plays WOW every night. So anything to do with that would be awesome.

If you still need help with filling my little jar Halo is another big thing around here! :)
