Is there a better combination?

Here's what you do:

  1. Buy one box of tea you've never tried, but always wanted to.
  2. Take out and keep half the tea bags for yourself.
  3. Buy a package of (new!) pretty cupcake wrappers.
  4. Put the wrappers in the tea box.
  5. Seal up the box, slap an address label on it, and ship!

Some rules and stuff:

  • The tea bags must be individually wrapped, of course.

  • No "normal" cupcake wrappers (no plain white, the typical pastels, or aluminum).

  • It's perfectly okay to send the tea box with just a label on it. I've been doing this lately for some other things I've sent. You might get a weird look, but that's okay! Make sure you seal the box well, though.

  • The tea and wrappers are sender's choice.

  • USA only (to keep it simple and cheap).

  • You have about one week to send because you have all this time beforehand to buy what you need. It's sender's choice, so you don't need to know who your partner is.

  • NO FLAKING! (That's just not cool.)

That's about it. If I've forgotten anything, let me know.

Happy swapping! (And happy tea-sipping and cupcake-baking!)

NOTE: You don't HAVE to send a naked box. I got a message from a potential swapper who said the post office gave her a hard time for shipping plain food boxes. I've done it several times, and it was never a problem. I was just trying to make your shipping simpler. So do whatever works! Just send half a box worth of tea and some wrappers, and I'll be pleased! :)

I picked out cupcake wrappers today! Almost bought more for myself, but I resisted! ;)

My tea and wrappers are ready to go. :)

Is it ok that the cupcake wrappers have to be removed from the package? My package won't fit inside the tea box.

KimberlyPye 02/25/2013 #

@Rabbitfreedom It's best not to do that, so your partner knows they're new and clean (plus the package could get wet or somehow damaged). If they won't fit in, you should use a different box for the tea and cupcake wrappers.

am I retarded? I can't figure out how to view who my swap person is.

vrsrv6 03/ 2/2013 #

@seawhitten there's a little yellow box on the right side at the top that says, swap member options. That's where I found my info :)
