Description:

Imbolc comes strongly associated with a Celtic goddess who oversees inspiration. The Irish, Scots and Manx considered this holiday to belong to Brighid or Bride (pronounced breed), a patroness of smithcraft, healing and poetic inspiration whose name can be derived from the Gaelic "breo-aigit" or "fiery arrow."

In this swap we will honor Brighid by creating a swap for our partner that incorporates her 3 aspects.

You will send your partner 3 things:

Smithcraft = For this we will just go with the craft part ;-) Send something handmade by you.

Healing = Use your imagination, this can be a crystal with healing properties, a healing spell or whatever else you can think of that you associate with healing.

Poetic inspiration = Look at your partners profile for this one and buy or make something inspired by that profile.

Include a letter or card explaining the items and why you picked/made them and what it means to you.

I won't set a dollar amount for this. Don't spend a fortune, but do try to make it as nice as possibly and of a quality you yourself would be thrilled to get.

This will very obviously not make it to people before Imbolc, but perhaps you will be inspired to put your package together on Imbolc or the days around it. The send by date is after Imbolc so I have given you that option ;-)
