Check out this page to see the interesting days we can celebrate together in May. The original idea for this swap was from @craftygirl who hosts something similar monthly in the open swap forum. She has kindly given us permission to use and alter it. :) During May we celebrate Wildflower Week... since I know everyone is tired of snow, what if we try to focus our packages around wildflowers (or flowers in general)? Still choose at least 3 of the unique holidays listed at the above site, and figure out something to send your partner to help celebrate those days. You may choose DAYS or your gift may represent the WEEK or MONTH holidays (you will understand when you see the site) At least one of the items must be "literary" in nature It does not necessarily need to be a book (although it could be), but something related to books...book plates, a bookmark, pages from a dictionary (if your partner likes to craft with them), even a journal, etc. May's challenge will be to try to tie the gifts and envelope into the wildflower theme (however, this is NOT required. It is a challenge.) Your gifts cannot ALL be one category, such as all stickers or all cards... and while one item could potentially apply to more than one day, each item must represent only one holiday in your final tally. No minimum cost on here. It may cost you very little, or you might want to spend more. Things can be handcrafted or purchased. But it WILL take thought and organization on your part to make it special. The key is make it a package you would love to receive, something that will really make your partner smile. So... one partner, one package. For a five rating: at least 3 items which represent three unique holidays. (at least one of those will be somehow book-related)... with an additional OPTIONAL CHALLENGE of relating things to a wildflower theme. And don't forget to include a little note telling why you chose each item (what day they represent), the swap name, and your swap-bot ID. Got it? |
