Description:

What can be more fun than unwrapping little stocking stuffers? We will send one stuffed, clean stocking (cloth, paper, knit or ??) to one partner to be opened at Christmas. (I will wait to rate my partner until after Christmas, but let her know when it is received by PM.)

In the stocking we will wrap a minimum of five little gifts for our partner. I'm thinking around $5, total before shipping. The package doesn't have to be heavy, but I'd like the swap to be something beyond flat mail.

I'm closing the sign up early so we will have lots of time to collect fun goodies for our partners.

Hints to make this swap a success:

  • Check partner's profile to get ideas, but this is "sender's choice."
  • Check your stash first to save time and money!
  • Do send clean, fun & useful items, but "don't" spend a fortune!
  • Wrap items or groups of items in sweet, colorful, little packages
  • Put little packages in a stocking of some kind. It may be a paper stocking, cloth or knit stocking, or a clean stocking you have lost the mate to.

I tend to make things complicated and confusing, so don't hesitate to ask questions in the comments section. Most of all let's make this fun and a blessing at the same time.

This sounds fun and yes, I like the time frame. This will give us enough time to plan how we would like to 'treat' our swap buddy!!

Great idea - I'm watching and will join closer to the date. I am so thankful to have Christian sisters to swap with!!! I just want to mention that I don't have a Christmas tree so don't need ornaments (don't like them or the pagan history behind them).

Great idea ... It will be fun to wake up to a surprise Christmas morning...

Thanks for the nice comments. I do hope this will be fun for all participants. I hope your partner reads your comment @margothecat , but in case not, you may want to post something in the forum under holidays and celebrations so others know you don't care for ornaments in swaps, tags and/or blessings.
