Description:

Read the swap requirements carefully before joining!

When signing up you add a comment at the bottom of this swap page where you list at least 5 different themes. For all of these you have to be able to send your partner 6 wrapped gifts in that theme. The partner you get for this swap will then pick one of those themes, and you wrap up and send those 6 gifts to them. Try to be as diverse as possible when you write the list, but be sure you don't promise something you can't deliver.

The wrapped presents has to have some kind of ribbon or something like that on them so they are possible to hang somewhere, either a big loop (that you can fit your hand trough) or two loose ends. By possible to hang I also mean that they won't fall out of their ribbon or what you have chosen to use at any time during December! If an item weighs more than a postcard in an envelope it's just not good enough to tape a 4 inch piece of ribbon to it, the ribbon has to go around it, in both directions. And please remember that the loops you end up with when you tie your shoes are not possible to hang something with, they just slide off.

You also need to think about the fact that this is something that is probably going to hang in someones living area for quite a long time, so please make it as pretty as you can. You are NOT allowed to use envelopes to wrap this swap, but feel free to use properly sized bags, foil, news paper, tissue and so on =)

New of the year is also that you are required to mark all the gifts with what swap it is and who it is from. This does not have to be a big operation with hand made gift tags and such (unless you really want to), just write with a marker on the tape you used to wrap the gift with or something like that =)

The value of these gifts should be around $5 all together, no matter what the theme is.

Don't forget to add your list in the comments if you sign up!

Question: With the last swap I had a reeeally hard time sticking to the low total value of $5.- Even with cheap gifts I ended up spending about 7 or 8 euros (10 dollars)... Any chance the value could be changed to "between 5 and 10 dollars"?

@lilrawker : It's so hard, because stuff costs so little some places, and so much other places. I can't get anything for a dollar here in Norway that is worth sending, but you will in the US for instance.

@lexidh Yea that's true. Over here I can't find anything nice for a dollar either, so I just end up spending more. So maybe if the value for the swap was set to "5 to 10 dollars", everyone would be able to find something without feeling like they're spending way more than the swap requires. But obviously it's up to you as these are your swaps :)
