Description:

This is my first type 3 swap! Dead excited!

This swap requires you to pick five candy items and send them to one partner. These could be hard boiled sweets/bon bons, lollipops, jellies, sugar mice, candy jewellery etc. Each item must come sealed/wrapped and untouched. The items you send must be either made wholy or predominately out of sugar - no chocolate for this swap please. Please include a note explaining where you got the candy from (name, location of store). Add a website to the note if the store has one. There may be a candy you desperately need to track down!

This is a small swap to allow those with limited funds to join in a fun swap!

To make this swap more equal, i will only be allowing 3 people from each country to enter on a first come, first served basis. For example: 3 from uk (that obviously includes me!), 3 from USA, 3 from Canada, 3 from Australia, etc. If you join this swap and find you've been taken off of it, it means your country has the allocated number of entries already. It's nothing personal

You will need a rating of at least 4.5. Newbies are welcome with well filled out profiles.

I've given this swap a time of a month for everyone to have received their goods. If you have a problem, please PM me. All questions in the comments below please and i will answer them as quickly as i can. I cannot angel this swap, so please do not flake!

TO THE CANDY STORE, MAGEE!

Welcome AmiMelody! You are the first from USA - congratulations!

Alcomog 02/ 8/2011 #

Just had a thought (oh the pain), candy can be quite brittle, so it might be worth a bit of bubble wrap/padding if you are including something that really should be enjoyed whole and not in a million shards. That said, a package that arrives, regardless of broken candy should get a 5 for the time, effort and dedication involved:)

I'M AFRAID ALL ENTRIES FOR THE UK AND USA ARE NOW FILLED. Thank you!

Alcomog 02/10/2011 #

Another thought...

This is 100% senders choice, but it may be courteous for you to check your partner's profile after they have been assigned to see if there is anything they categorically cannot stand, i.e. aniseed, liquorice, cinnamon, etc. Would be a bit daft to send your partner something they will not eat. That said, It is encouraged for you to award your partner a 5 if you receive a package with five different items in, whether you like the contents or not.

Hey, if you do get something you don't like, you could commit a RAK and hand it over to someone you know who does!
