Description:

You have to send a box filled with typical girly stuff to one person. Make it really pretty and luxurious ,if you can. Some of the things you can put in are bubble bath, girly mags (let's stick to english since everyone here understands that), make up, perfume samples, massage oils, candles, sexy underwear, girly book, masque packs..you get the idea- something which makes the receiver feels good!

The items have to cost at least US$20 EXCLUDING shipping (shipping will probably be expensive-depending on what you send). Please do not send generic items, it's a GIRLY Box swap so do adhere to the theme (ie luxurious, pampering sort of things, not generic shampoo by Pantene or something!)

Because this is a rather substantial swap, users with bad feedback (or dodgy new users) will be removed. If you have allergies or dislikes, please post a comment.

Please send on time and be nice! Cheers!

Edited to add: This is an INTERNATIONAL swap.

I just want to add that it's OK to send it via economy post if it's heavy provided you let your partner know in advance (but please don't send it using the slowest method possible-ie. by sea- as this can take 3 months or even more...).

My preferences:

I LOVE LUSH (toiletries brand) . While I used to make jewellery, I don't anymore because I didn't bring my tools with me to the Netherlands so no beads or findings please. I also like cute underwear and magazines (but I buy Cosmopolitan and Glamour monthly so don't buy that!). I like pink, baby blue and white. I don't wear jewelry. I have enough lipbalm to last me til 2008 so no lipbalms please.. Sorry I'm so picky.. I guess in short, I prefer quality over quantity :)

I would love to get girl magazines(gossip etc) I knit and love to recieve cotton yarn or needles or stitch markers. I love tasty lipbalm, perfume, little anti bacterial gels(I try to keep one in every purse) Post It notes and hairclips and my biggest things. Can never have to many of either.

I love lip balm...and lip gloss - my favorite colors are pinks and browns for lip gloss. Cool decorated clips for short hair, bubble bath - I love lavendar, eucalytpus, cucumber and lemon, berry scents. I love anything handmade - purses, totes, little holders for stuff, tissue holders. I use lotion constantly so I am always on the lookout for cool little lotions to keep at my desk at work. Dangly earrings (not too big though) - my all time favorite colors are purple and green so you can't go wrong with anything in those colors. I also love craft, quilting, card making and scrapbook magazines.

Just so you know, this swap will be edited before it ends to weed our bad users.

i LOVE body lotions and scrubs, especially strawberry, honeydew, grape, aloe vera, lavender scented ones.. i use lotion like, 24/7. i also love flavoured lipbalm!

no clips, cause i've got short hair. no accessories, i make them myself. ((: no bubble baths, i don't have a tub at home!

however, i'm open to CUTE underwear, deodorants, gold charms, cute ankle socks and so on.. love green, orange, yellow, black, purple. :D

For my partner, things I like: bath confetti (especially rose-scented), bath salts, bubble bath, small handknit accessories (like lacy wristwarmers or gloves, moebius scarves, and legwarmers), mineral makeup, eyeshadow, sheer colored lip balms/glosses, organic and natural products (especially citrus-scented lotions and shower gels), face masks, and hair treatments (like hot oil). I also like rings and earrings (my style is usually exotic or Victorianesque), but my skin eats non-precious metals. And I have tons of bar soaps, but feel free to send some if you just love it. ;) Cute/sexy underwear and the like are welcome as long as it's not tasteless; I usually wear an extra small or a small.

Please no eyelash yarn stuff or cultivated/bombyx silk items unless they're recycled (like if you found it at a thrift store, go for it!). I love tussah/wild silk, though! Also, I'm mildly allergic to angora, and alcohol-based perfumes don't work well with my chemical composition ;D, so oil-based only, if you please. Oh, and some natural lip balms make my lips itch, but hand-made stuff like you can find on Etsy usually doesn't -- just no "tingly" lip balms like mint.

Check out my profile for lots more helpful babbling, and thanks in advance to whoever gets me as a partner! :D

i am not fussed what i get, love funky colours tho like orange purples shocking pinks and stuff. i don't knit so no wool thanks

user4462 11/ 8/2006 #

the one thing I noticed is those who put wants as underwear they not put sizes so that makes it difficult to pick that up. I cannot join this time for I am already signed up for a few different swaps this month but maybe next time.

blackie 11/ 9/2006 #

i'm not fussed if i get magazines in languages other than english...in fact i'd find them interesting so go for it. I'm into quirky stuff and collect ephemera. i don't have my ears pierced and am allergic to perfume so they'll be wasted on me I'm afraid. Other than that, I'm up for anything. I like suprises!

user4857 11/ 9/2006 #

user4872 11/ 9/2006 #

Hi Girls, Can't wait to get my partner. Most details are in my profile, but here are a couple more I love beautiful packaging and graphic prints-- especially black and white. xo Kerry

Hi, Love bubble bath. Love cute plush animals, especially cats. Don't care much for make-up, lip gloss, etc. I collect miniature bottles of perfume though. Not into girly mags. No underwear please. I like pretty journals, especially unlined ones, with neat paper. Thanks, Nathalie

user2143 11/18/2006 #

Sent my box today. Forgot to put in a tube of lip balm and only realised when i'd sealed it ! but that's ok , the package is over $20 anyway. Got the bf to send it and the post office asked what was in there and the value, he said "soap" and "10euro"?! Bah!

user2143 12/ 1/2006 #

cynaemon 12/ 6/2006 #
