Description:

Your interpretation for this theme will be individual. For some it will honor the cyclical energy of our community, investing in the success of next year. For others, it will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate and share their ecologically-driven love of recycling, reusing, and repurposing objects. For long-time members of CW, it will serve as an opportunity to regift some of the objects you have accumulated over the past year to new homes. For many, this will be a chance to do some cleaning of your supplies and to send those extra bits and pieces and treasures to someone else who will love them. Or maybe a chance to send out a cool item you've received over the Holidays, but don't have a use for.

The object, whatever your viewpoint, is to assemble a box of gifts for your swap partner. You can regift items you've gotten in the past and not had the opportunity to use, share those things you have too much of, clean out your witchy supplies to give the neglected and overlooked a new and appreciative home. You can buy items, you can make items, or you can share items you already have. The theme is pretty much open season. Regardless of your interpretation of "ReGift, Reuse, and Recycle", the purpose is always to put together a box that you would personally like to receive. Be creative. Put your own energies into the project.

( As this swap's theme specifically encourages regifting, some tact will be required to ensure that nobody's feelings are hurt. I don't expect this to be a problem within this group: tree-huggers appreciate the purpose of recycling and witches often experience the need to find new homes for old tools as crystals and tarot decks especially seem to wander off to new homes that need them without warning. This won't be the last time in our community that gifts are redirected throughout the circle to find the best home possible. Keep that in mind if you see items of your own changing hands again. )

Sound like fun?

Anyone who would like to participate in this swap must respond in the comments section below any special allergen information (if you are allergic to fragrances, etc) or special requests (if you are vegan and don't want leather, feather, or other animal items mailed to you; you don't want herbs or other organic materials mailed to you, etc)


This swap is basically a no-spending swap. (other than shipping) but, this is not a swap to get rid of junk. The package you send should make your partner say: WOW! Nothing dirty, broken, or of obvious poor quality.

This swap IS open to new members of CW, if you have completed and BEEN RATED for 5 type 3 swaps. If you have not fulfilled this requirement, I will ban you & put you on the "naughty" list of members that don't follow instructions & may cause you to be banned from other swaps I host. Just be smart & make sure you can be in this swap.

is there a theme to the items, or is it just for whatever we want to re-gift that is worth re-gifting?

oh and how much stuff, or do we just do whatever we want?

No theme, unless you want to & whatever you'd like to send. :)

Per requirements, Im posting a couple allergies here. I am somewhat allergic to wool, so cant use it in wearables. I love essential oils, but am allergic to many artificial fragrances. Thanks for having this swap! I look forward to it.

Oh, is it okay to use a large padded envie instead of a box? I very rarely use boxes!
