Description:

First find a notepad and list up your five (5) favourite stores. The stores can be anything; clothing stores, your local dollarstore, 7-11 and so on. Have you done that yet? If you're having a hard time finding five stores you love then this swap is probably not for you :-p

You will write a letter for your partner telling them about each of the stores. You can talk about the name of the store, how far is it from your place? Why do you love it? What's the greatest thing you've ever bought there?

Now here's the fun part:

You must now go to each of the five stores and buy a little something for your partner to be put in the package. Each item MUST be under 3 dollars and should come with a bag from the store - try finding something that's pretty cheap even if it turns out to be something weird (I'm sure they sell accessories or stuff like that in your local clothingstore).

In short; 5 items worth less than 15 dollars in total (as cheap as possible), 5 different bags (one from each store) and a letter for your partner writing about your stores. And yes it's okay to use internetstores also! - if you are very creative you can include pictures/drawings of the shop.

Have fun shopping!

This is a really cool swap idea. I don't ship internationally though :(

@bmt2789 Feel free to make a regional version either within (I can make you an officer) or outside the group as long as you give credit. I'm in Denmark so I kind of have to make all swaps at least European so I nearly always make them international - or else I can't host them.

Our new officer @catherine will make a Canadian/US swap similar to this one

Whether I join or not, this will require some fun field work. :)
