Description:

The time is soon coming for those of us in the northern hemisphere to deal with winter cold and blahs....the antidote in my home is always soft, cozy warmth.

In this swap, we will send our partners three things:

1) A pair of nice warm socks (list your size below in comments)

2) A full package of either hot cocoa, coffee, or tea (specify your likes in comments)

3) A nice scented candle with a warm scent of some type (pillar, jar, beeswax, or what your partner specifies) OR a soft warm scarf. (list likes in comments)

Please, no extras! Put the time and effort into choosing the three items listed. Yes, one of the items can be handmade,and preferably purchased from a local craftsperson. Plan on giving ♥ hearts ♥ for receiving a thoughtful package.

When you make your package, make it cozy- we are sending a box of warmth to each other.

NO DOLLAR store items,or dirty, holey, or stained items. This swap is not for newbies...and you must have a 4.8 or higher rating. I always check peoples ratings and communicate before banning. USA only due to possible weight of pkgs.

I wear a size 8 sock. No ginger in the tea, really like hot cocoa better. favorite scents are vanilla in a candle. Don't care for spicey scents. Please no pink, favorite color is purple.

I wear a size 9-10 in socks and love pretty much all types of warm socks, but would love a pair of toe socks if at all possible. I also prefer hot cocoa, but won't mind flavored coffee (please no tea). As for candles I'm pretty flexible as long as the scent isn't anything with the words "linen", "fresh", or "outdoors" in the name. I'd also love it in tart form if possible.

I do have a question about the candle; is this a full-sized candle, tealight, votive, tart, what?

Greenwoodtree 09/26/2008 #

Irene- regarding the candle- Im leaving it up to the individuals to choose what type of candle - preferably a full size or jar candle, but if its a votive or tart, make it nice...I make jar candles, they are easy - using jelly jars. I also love beeswax and soy candles.

stacirose 09/26/2008 #

Great idea...if I could start a comfort food swap and get matzo ball soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, I so would! ;)

  1. I hate stuff on my feet. If I had my way, I'd run around barefoot all the time. But, I do wear trouser socks, knee length, regular size.
  2. Cocoa please. :D No marshmallows - I'm a vegetarian.
  3. There's a bit about candles in my profile. (foods, too) If it can be helped, I have a bazillion (really!) tealights and would welcome something new. :)

Thanks!

Greenwoodtree 09/26/2008 #

I make awesome matzo ball soup too....sigh

Wildchild 09/26/2008 #

So much for this oddbal. Canada's oddman out as usual :(

meggert 09/27/2008 #

I would love a pair of soft warm pink socks! I don't like toe socks.I like flowery or spicy scents for candles. I love soy candles. I like any kind of drink

heliogal 09/30/2008 #

Oh! this sounds like all the things I like. I love soy jar candles but will be happy with whatever you pick out for me. As for socks, I have a big foot a ladies size 9 and I really like those fuzzy spa socks, but again surprise me (I don't think I would like the toe socks). I would prefer tea or cocoas please.

Fawne 10/ 4/2008 #

I wear size 9 in socks, love any kinds of candle, & really love tea. I'd be happy with anything, really.

kgeslab 10/ 4/2008 #

I love warm, fuzzy house socks, but not thin, nylon theme socks. I also love home made socks - shoe size 8 1/2 or 9... love hot chocolate and black / spiced chai teas. I'd give hearts for chai mix. My colors - well, nothing too bright, but suprise me! I'd rather have a jar candle than votives or tea lights - I have lots of those, and I love pumpkin, spice, autumn, fruit or floral.

cmcedwards 10/11/2008 #

I wear a size 7-8 in shoes. so socks of those size would be great. Just please no toe socks. I tried them once and the feeling of things between my toes drove me crazy.

I drink at least one cup of tea a day at work and would love some new flavors. Presently I drink Stash's Lemon and Ginger tea. I also love peppermint hot chocolate but am doing the diet thing, so low cal is the way to go!

I have way too many scarves and would prefer a candle. I've yet to try soy candles and would love one since everyone raves about them. I can't deal with floral scents but love any spicy holiday scents. There's a whole thing about that in my profile.

writechen 10/14/2008 #

I wear size 6 - 6.5 and love knee highs, toe socks, or those small Mary Jane slipper style "socks"; stripes or heart theme will get hearts! I prefer coffee and hot chocolate over tea. If sending teas, please no herbal, chai or peppermint. I'm a bit sensitive to candle scents so would prefer a warm fuzzy scarf, not too particular about color or material.

asmom 10/17/2008 #

I wear size 9 in socks. Something warm, my feet are always cold in the winter. Like tea of all kinds, also coffee and hot chocolate. Like all candles too.

AuntieM 10/17/2008 #

Leeame 10/18/2008 #

Hi, I also have big feet & wear a size 11 shoe. It is hard to find cute socks in my size. If you can, GREAT, if you can't feel free to make a substitute with anything else appropriate. I'm not a fan of flavored coffees & teas, but really enjoy a good blend of medium roast or black tea. I also have allergies, so please no candles. Boy, I feel like a choosey beggar, tee hee. What ever my partner sends will be just fine.

Faegoddess 10/19/2008 #

Howdy! I have a size 8-9 foot (whatever that translates to in socks) I love warm fuzzy ones, but no wool please. I'm good with all warm drinks, but not a fan of peppermint. (Spearmint is good though) I don't burn lots of candles, but I'm not morally opposed either. I like fun colored scarves. Please nothing in sage green or mustard yellow, blech!

Faegoddess 10/19/2008 #

OH! BTW, I would delight in a pair of knee socks if you are so inclined!

Sage 10/19/2008 #
  • I wear a size 8 in socks, my profile should give you a good idea of what kind of socks I would enjoy!
  • I LOVE coffee (hazelnut is yummy), please no tea and no chocolate flavored coffee, I do love hot chocolate though :)
  • I would prefer a plain colored candle over a scarf, thanks <3
applejax 10/20/2008 #

Hola everybody...

I wear size 9 shoes, so I guess socks that run from 9-11? I don't think socks have really specific sizes, much other than a span of shoe sizes. I love knee socks, if you can find them :) It's freezing in Boston.

I love many many kinds of hot chocolate, but I'm not a fan of coffee or tea.

I like scarves, but also like candles. I have a weird funky/classic mix to my aesthetic, so I don't think there's much I wouldn't like, other than candles that are overly strong smelling of cinnamon or vanilla.

I'm not fussy, I SWEAR! Thanks :)

stitchesaroundtheworld 10/26/2008 #

I would like a nice fuzzy pair of socks. No toe socks please. I have a ton of candles so I would like a nice scarf (store bought or handmade is great! If handmade please don't use animal fibers I'm really allergic!) but if you would like to send me a candle I like tarts in any scent. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate love them all (I'm allergic to red dyes so please no red tea).

aneles 10/28/2008 #

Hi all! I love all socks, especially red, purple, or patterned ones (stripes are super awesome too) and toe socks or knee socks are cool. I wear a size 6 1/2 shoe, but I don't think I have ever experienced store-bought socks being too big.

I LOVE hot chocolate and tea and coffee, but if you choose coffee I grind my own, so whole beans please...other than that anything is great! I talk a lot about teas in my profile ;)

And I guess I'd like a scarf over a candle, but if you have an awesome candle that's totally cool. In scarves I like fall colors, and in scents I particularly love lavender and jasmine.

reauk 10/28/2008 #

i love socks specially over the knee fav colour is black. love gothic socks. No toe socks thou. Size 5 uk i love hot chocolate and teas includeing fruits. And has to be a nice big scented candle like something spicey or xmasie.

Mags 10/29/2008 #

tj 10/30/2008 #

wifemotherslave 11/ 1/2008 #

HI: I wear a size 9 and don't care much for neon or super bright colors, but do like soft pink's purples, blues, and prefer natural fibers. I like fruity scented candles, like pear or apple. I like cocoa(milk chocolate), tea(good black or chai's) or coffee(hazelnut or french vanilla). I do like beeswax or soy candles. I don't have allergies, just no scratchy wool. Boy, now I feel picky. I do have to agree with the host, I have gotten some dollar store junk in the past and I feel like I try to make sure my packs are special. THANKS :)

sunshinesuperman 11/ 2/2008 #

I love cocoa, socks size 9-11, earthy scent candles, instant soup mixes are great for work, a scarf would be great.

SilverWing 11/ 2/2008 #

Hey all! I love this swap idea. I wear a 10 shoe, so socks sized 9-11 are usually great. I love pretty much anything soft, cuddly, and cute. I also love socks that really unique, like they lace up or are odd in some other way. I like regular socks and I also like toe socks. Actually, I just really like socks, so it won't be hard to please me in that regard!

I do not like tea or coffee, but I LOVE hot cocoa! Regular or flavored, any cocoa is great, and I'm always up for trying new flavors!

As for colors and such, I love darker colors, like blues and greens, and I love black and silver. I'm very easy to please, though. My profile has more specifics.

I love love love scarves, but candles are also nice, so whatever you really prefer to send is fine. As for smells, I love ocean/water smells, I adore freesia, I really like light and airy scents, but I also like holiday type smells.

Dani182 11/ 6/2008 #

I am in love with this swap!! I wear a size 7 shoe. I love fun cute socks. I am a huge green tea drinker and love to try new flavors. I am from Texas so I really don't wear scarfs but I love candles. My favorite scents are buttercream and apple.

snpyrunner 11/ 8/2008 #

I love tea! Wouldn't mind a seasonal tea like apple or pumpkin or something like that (not a vanilla fan however). My feet are always cold! I am a size 8.5. Tall warm socks are appreciated, I wear boots at my night job and I hunt. As for smells, I like sugar cookie (burning right now actually), pumpkin, buttercream, balsam, any of those warm hom-ey smells. Something in a jar would be great, but I do have some of those plates to put candles on too. Anything else you are curious about just ask!
