Description:

Would anyone have an interest in a swap where you send small WRAPPED stocking stuffer type stuff? There's a similar swap for the Bid Kids (adults) too!

Please put a comment at the end of the swap of things you DONT want - ie no Candy, no Fun meal toys, no Clothing, well you get the idea! If you fail to do this, you alone are responsible for what you get!!! In addition, it would be nice if you could leave in the note about who will be receiving the package in your home, and what kind of things they like!!

I personally would like to use these as a countdown to Christmas thing. The kids could open one package a day up to Christmas, and the fun part is - I have NO idea what is in the package either!!!

Let's go with about 7 small packages, one for each day of the week. It's up to you what value you put on it but please do not feel obligated to spend more than $10 all total before postage.

If you find that there are multiple kids in the family of your recipient, it would be kind to have a package a day for each of the kids, so if there are 3 - 1 package each for 2 days would be acceptable (6 packages), or if there are 2 kids 1 package each for 4 days (8 packages). If it matters what kid gets what package - mark it somehow - I can imagine my 9 yo girl opening something meant for her 2 yo brother - not pretty!

this swap is for my girls - 7 and 9 - no earrings, no candy, no fun meal toys or stuffed animals, they like socks, hair do dads (for thinish hair), anything for playing school st and 3rd grade, Disney especially Princesses - if your not sure, please feel free to ask.

this swap will be for my grandaughter that I am raising, she is 20 months. I am redoing her room, she loves curious george,kittys and most types of animals. along with any type of music,phones,dolls.....If they are small decoration items I can put them on her shelf on her wall.

Great idea! This swap is also for my granddaughter (like Heidi) that lives with me. Children love surprises. Alex just turned two. She likes all food, yeah! She has no allergies. Her favorite (only) tv thing is Kidsongs. Loves music. Loves books, dolls, coloring books. Plays toddler games on the computer. Can we enclose a brief letter telling the child about ourselves?

Hi, I love this idea - those last days leading up to Christmas are challenging for kids and parents! I have an eight year old son, Gabe. Gabe is sweet and gentle. He loves all things alien, anything tiny - esp. books, art kits, Littles Pet Shop pets and his (real)cats and dogs. My daughter, Robyn, is five and loves all things girlie-purses, dress-up, jewelry- as well as books and art supplies. My kids get very little t.v., but they love music and dancing. A little candy is fine - they love the weird asian stuff that I sometimes get in my swapbot packages. . .

My son, Kitt, is 6 years old. He loves cars and things that you put together. He's an active boy who likes to play outside, but sometimes he'll make postcards with me, too. He does think cats and dogs are pretty cute. And his favorite color is orange.

I signed up for my 3 kiddos. Two dds ages 12 and 8 and one son age 4. Candy is fine, hair do dads for the girls, they all like stickers and art supplies, little stuffed animals, my son loves dinosaurs.

Please no fast food toys, nail polish or make up. Clear flavored lip balm is ok though.

However you divide it up is fine, maybe 2 days with 1 small gift for each child and then one bigger gift they can all share. That adds up to 7. :-)

no fun meal toys i have 5 kiddies 2 girls 3 boys

user4120 11/16/2006 #

oh yeah - good point - please no make up, nail polish or the like. I sell natural soap and body products, and prefer this to the cheap but cutely packaged stuff in the stores.

pre inked stamps inevitably end up in 3 yr olds hands, and my furniture begs you not to send them!

Stickers are great, they are learning to bead gifts for friends for Christmas. These gals love fru-fru

Meg is 7 loves red and Mick is 9 and find pink or purple to be preferred.

I am really excited about the kiddos we (me and Alex) got as swap partners! I have all mine wrapped and in the box ready to go out Monday. Hope they enjoy the surprises! I had fun picking out the gifts!

Hiedi, we loved your package, especially Alex! Enjoyed the letter and pictures, great family! Alex is carrying her bear around, it's dress matches her room colors. Can't wait to see the other surprises! You did an outstanding job! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Give Kiaura a hug and kiss!

Mommy Kline, Just wanted to let you know the package came. Of course, we haven't opened anything yet. I'll let you know the reviews after Christmas! Thanks in advance and happy holidays! Laura

Bombshell-o-matic, we received your box, it looks so festive! We haven't opened it yet and the kids are chomping at the bit to get to it. I'll let you know when they see the goodies. Thank you!
