Description:

This has gone well the last two times so here is it again only open to newbies as well as those with "less than perfect" ratings! For the Europe version being hosted by @saara click this link and because of her graciousness, this swap is being modified to a regional USA/Canada only to keep postage down.

Now I KNOW there are ladies out there who HATE when "Aunt Flow" stops by for her monthly visit...she makes us crampy, bitchy, tired, and have MAD cravings...not to mention overwhelming urges to punch anything with a penis...With that in mind I thought we all could use an emergency PMS package for that inevitable visit.

So, what we're gonna do is take a small shoe box and cram it full of stuff to pamper our partner when Aunt Flow arrives. You could put bath salts, something sweet, something salty, some lotion, one of the microwaveable rice thingys for cramps, heat patches, bubble bath, candle, fuzzy socks, tea....anything to bring comfort to your partner. Maybe add a favorite book or magazine....make a mix CD...handmade things are acceptable also! The possibilities are endless. Make it a nice package. Make your partner feel special.

It's difficult to put a price on something like this so I am not going to. However I strongly encourage all participants to put their all into this box...PMS is a bitch already without having a crappy box to go along with it.

The nitty gritty:

Since this is a package and involves more than the usual investment I am requiring a 4.8 rating or higher for everyone who joins. I will check profiles and ban anyone who looks questionable regardless of their rating.

NEWBIES I have been flaked on or disappointed more by "established" swappers than newbies SO here's your chance to make newbies shine! Newbies are welcome with FULL PROFILE-not just a couple lines. If you are serious about swapping, then be serious with your profile and tell us about yourself! Ps: you flake--->YOU DIE!!! Not really, but you will seriously suck and make it that mch harder for other newbies to get a chance to get in on some really good swaps.

NO ONES! If you have unfulfilled swaps you need to take care of them before joining other swaps. If you were rated a 1 but you sent and have delivery confirmation to prove it was sent then I will allow it (there are people who rate 1's even though they got something and should have rated a 3) but this is the only exception to the 1 that I will allow.

YOU FLAKE--->YOU DIE!!! No, not really, but seriously, don't sign up if you are going to throw something together at the last minute or aren't going to bother at all.

You will have 2 weeks from the sign up date to send. Since this is not profile specific feel free to start gathering goodies now.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

Any chance of there being a US/Canada version? Shipping overseas is so expensive!

Also, with newbies being welcome, will you angel if we get flaked on?

Great swap idea BTW!

Wrap your box in brown paper (recycle a paper bag) before you address it to eliminate hassles at the post office when you mail. You will have to fill out a customs form if your partner is international.

GoingTwinsane 11/28/2009 #

I can make a USA/Canada only one if you wish...or would be happy to do a private one as well

GoingTwinsane 11/28/2009 #

I am founder/member of the Swap-bot Angels group which formed for the purpose of angeling flaked swaps. I would angel them or a member of the group would.

saara 11/29/2009 #

This sounds like so much fun! Anyone in Europe willing to do this with me as a private swap? The postage overseas is many times too much... So that is why I'm just watching this swap for now.

GoingTwinsane 11/29/2009 #

If someone would like to host a duplicate of this swap for Europe Region only, that would be okay with me. I could then change this one to USA/Canada only if that would get more people to join in. I want all of you to be able to participate. You can copy it exactly or rename/reword it-doesn't make any difference to me. Just let me know!

catherine 11/30/2009 #

I'm willing to host the US/Canada version. I'd change a few things but essentially it would remain the same.

dynasourX 11/30/2009 #

I would be far more inclined to join a US version. If you did a regional one like that you could always use a flat rate box instead of a shoe box.

saara 11/30/2009 #

Thanks GoingTwinsane... She gave me permission to copy this swap for Europe. So I'll be hosting it, and all European swappers are welcome to join it!

bmt2789 12/ 1/2009 #

I would def. participate in this one if it was US. This is such a neat idea.

GoingTwinsane 12/ 1/2009 #

Alrighty ladies, @saara has requested to host a Europe only version of this swap and I think that is a great idea and hope all of you over on that side of the planet join in! I am editing my description above to include a link to her swap which you can also find right here Happy Swapping everyone!

Also, another user is going to be setting up a matchbox version of this swap so be looking for that!

This swap description is cracking me up!! I love the challenge, and being that you clearly noted it is very newbie friendly -- I cannot wait! :D

GoingTwinsane 12/ 3/2009 #

Thanks @adastra It's easy to decribe PMS when you are actually PMSing and wanting to choke the husband and kids until they resemble smurfs!

sparklecrackcentral 12/12/2009 #

The name of this swap just made me laugh...! I look forward to putting together a box for my partner!

arielrobin 12/17/2009 #

How funny! I, being particularly rabid before "Aunt Flows" visit, can't wait to participate.

Danielle00Thomas 12/22/2009 #

I love thus idea!!! Do we have to use a box or can we stuff everyhing in a huge envelope instead? Thanks!

GoingTwinsane 12/23/2009 #

For this one, do a box.

handsewnheart 12/28/2009 #

would it be ok to sub a shoebox for a medium flat rate box?

lovie313 12/29/2009 #

Can we use flat rate box? Also I am a bit confused as who do we send to?

GoingTwinsane 12/29/2009 #

A medium flat rate box would be fine. @lovie313 after Dec. 31 partners will be assigned. Just a few more days!

Babalina58 12/30/2009 #

I opened a US ONLY that is not a newbie version of this...I am tickeled but with the weight I could not send to Canada and shoot I am not a newby so I created and one for the rest of us...Thanks so much GoingTwinsane and Saara for doing the Newby and Europe now there is something for everyone...
