Description:
My boyfriend, who is new to swap-bot, noticed that a lot of the newbie swaps include lists of things that might not be so guy-friendly (ie. ribbon, stationary, etc). So we decided to start a swap to help newbies (or anyone who wants to boost their rating) with a list that is simple and great for both men and women. For this swap, you will have 2 partners and send each of your partners 3 things from the following list: mix cd of music you like a new package of incense an unopened package of candy a new magazine a new comic book a new Sharpie a short letter a fun bottle opener a small squirt gun 3 new postcards an interesting photograph (old or new) a fake tattoo a small action figure a key chain a dollar store toy a deck of cards This is an International swap, so please take it into consideration before you sign up. Everyone is invited to sign up as long as you commit to actually sending (if you are known for no sends, I will ban you). Obviously, it is also important that once you receive your items, you rate your swap partner in order to boost their ratings and help them out of newbie-dom. There is no monetary minimum or maximum for this swap, as items on the list may vary quite a bit in price. Please send at least three items on the list (but feel free to send more than three if you're looking for a heart in your rating!). Don't forget it's always nice to try to tailor your package to your swap partner's likes and dislikes. Have fun swapping!

What a great idea! I'm hoping for some less-than-girly stuff myself, but maybe it will also be a way for me to draw the hubby into swapping. ;D

That's what we're hoping for :)

Thanks for joining!

Update: I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working around the clock to prep part of the house and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! I am trying my best to get caught up. I am not going to flake on anyone, but please please please be patient with me. I really am trying the best I can. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!

linuxsounds Hi I'm Emma (linuxsounds cousin)- Cal's Items will be delayed in being sent out asCal has been ill since last week with a severe asthma attack. He asked me to say that he will send the stuff out as soon as he is recovered Thanks Emma

hello kitty and Meg, sent your goodies out on Friday but they've been returned to me, the goodies shifted around making the package too bulky for the price I paid! Arg! I taped everything in place and am on my way to resend them right now, so hopefully that will work. Kepp me posted! Thanks, Spoon

citizen blue, package arrived yesterday. Thanks for the fun items, my husband got a kick out of them. Don't know if it'll get him swapping yet, but he did have fun playing with the new "toys" I got. ;D Thanks!
