Number of swap partners:1
Description:

I love it when my kid has a nap and I can make a cup of tea and have a flick through a magazine.

For this swap you will have 1 partner and you will send them:

  • 1 NEW magazine (no stealing a crumpled 1999 Women's Weekly from your doctor's office)

  • 1 teabag/hot drink sachet/coffee sachet/coffee bag.

When partners are assigned, have a look at their profile and try to send them a magazine and a type of hot drink you think they'd like. While this swap is sender's choice, do take your partner's tastes into account.

You can post the sorts of mags you enjoy (and the sorts of drinks you enjoy!) in the comments box below if you like.

I'm making this swap Australia Only to save us $$ on postage, and also to avoid quarantine hassles with the tea/drink mixes.

Usual fine print - no recent 1's or 3's, rating 4.9 or above. Newbies welcome with a well-filled profile!

Does it have to be a trashy mag? For 20 YEARS I was obsessed by trashy mags with paparazzi pics of celebs in them - obsessed! - and all of a sudden I went off them about 3 years ago. I can't explain it! Now I couldn't give a &@%#*!! what Lindsay Lohan's wearing out of rehab! :P

SO, my question is: Can it be any other kind of mag? If so, these are my choices:

  • Gardening/Sustainable Lifestyle
  • Woodworking
  • Science/Geography
  • Art/Photography
  • Literature/Culture/Book review, etc
  • Animals/Pets
  • Music
  • MAD/Cracked!

Please let me know and I'll drop it if need be. Hope this isn't an annoying request, since it does say "Trashy" in the swap name. :X

  • I don't drink Coffee...

No, it definitely doesn't have to be trashy! It just made for a good title :) I'm hoping people will look at their partner's interests and base the mag choice on that.

I like food/cooking mags, fashion mags, book review mags, mags like Frankie, and all your Cosmo-style mags too!

Happy to receive any sort of drink :)

That is a spectacular title. ;)

So sorry to pull out of this one but I forgot I'd promised my husband I'd stick to the relatively cheap(-er) PC swaps instead of the packages which really start adding up. :(
