Description:
Well, I couldn't resist and put it international. I know how it feels when a swap is regional and you wished you were from that region... ;) I asked piratecaptainmo to create this swap international as it was only for the USA. I took the liberty to copy her text because it totally explains the reason of the title, but with some differences. I'll start this at home, too. "My roomie and I keep a bucket of little presents in our library so that when we have a rough day or just need a pick me up we choose one and open it. It's such a fun thing to do and it's even better when the gifts come from others so that it's a surprise to both of us when it gets opened. So I was thinking that swap bot would be a great place to fill up our bucket. For this swap you will send five (max 10) euros/USD worth of small wrapped gifts to your partner. The gifts should be about palm sized or smaller so that they'll all fit into a container together. Gifts do not have to be profile based, but do not send anything on their dislikes list! Used is fine as long as it is in good condition. No holiday items unless specified as a like by your partner (this applies to candy, etc, also). (...) A few ideas: hot drink packets candy or treats jewelry an envelope of ephemera lotion, bath bombs, etc pet toys/treats fun pencils/pens/erasers art supplies rubber stamps/ink pads/etc dip mix anything fun that you think of!" Don't be a flacker, I will check your profiles and eliminate you. Newbies are welcome.

Awesome! I saw the other one and was disappointed when I couldn't join. I was hoping someone would make an international one. Thanks! :0)

5-10 euros worth of presents - is there a min/max for the number of presents?

macati 03/ 4/2013 #

hi... no, there isn't. it would be interesting being more than 2. as it is tiny presents, and if you look at the listed examples some of them can be cheap, even less than a euro/dollar. I've decided to make about 1 euro/dollar each present, if it costs less I'll make 2 for 1 euro/dollar...

secretterrabite 03/ 6/2013 #

For anyone in the UK, 5 US dollars works out Â£3.32, 5 euro's is Â£4.32. Also glad this is international

macati 03/ 6/2013 #

thank you, secretterrabite... :)

do we wrap all the little gifts together in one container and wrap it or do we wrap each one separate and put them in a container?

macati 03/ 7/2013 #

I think it is to wrap each separate so you may open one tiny present only in a bad day. leaving other presents for other bad days. it's a little "cheer you up" present.

snailmailer1 03/ 7/2013 #

I've got my little gifts ready... just waiting to send them off :) :)

macati 03/ 7/2013 #

;)

Gnoe 03/ 9/2013 #

This is SO cool!!! Thanks for being selfish -- as you yourself call it ;)

macati 03/ 9/2013 #

SorellaLark 03/ 9/2013 #

Do they have to be in little boxes or can they be flat enough to fit into a large envie?

macati 03/ 9/2013 #

they can be flat, of course. the picture is not how they should look like. but they must be wrapped. :)

snailmailer1 03/ 9/2013 #

Ooooh it's nearly time :) :)

meganporter789 03/10/2013 #

I think this is a fantastic idea!! I cannot wait to go out and get stuff for my partner!

sheashea 03/11/2013 #

mine is heading to malta today

macati 03/11/2013 #

still getting ideas to wrap... ;)

wanderfrolics 03/12/2013 #

Very excited about this, but could take indefinite amount of time to get rated for it if receiver is only opening the gifts on bad days? Or else they would have to open them all upon receipt to see how appropriate they are? Oh well, hoping for the best!

macati 03/13/2013 #

that's a good question... I will have a "bad day" for sure when the package arrives. I'm thinking about opening at least 1 or 2 and then rate my partner... what do you think?

Cassaluna 03/14/2013 #

Yeah that sounds good, or if the first one seems like it meets all the requirements. Not sure...I'm really excited for my partner to get hers! ^.^

2littlewings 03/25/2013 #

mine is headed out today!

macati 03/25/2013 #

mine was just sent... :)

elvenfire 03/27/2013 #

Maybe you could rate 5 when the gifts arrive and give a heart later if the gifts are really nice? :) Just a suggestion.

cabaute 03/27/2013 #

I am awaiting something that I ordered for my partner to arrive, so may be sending on the very last day... I hope it gets here fast / in time!!

Gnoe 03/30/2013 #

The parcel has been sent (on Deadline Day) but the mail won't be collected until after Easter! :\

boue 04/ 8/2013 #

I got flaked on! :(

noella13 04/ 9/2013 #

Me too :(

arikara 04/11/2013 #

I'm happy to angel for anyone that got flaked on :( Unfortunately I made a nice package for my partner but it looks like they were one of the flakers... @boue and @noella13 feel free to send me your addresses and i'll send some goodies out to you :)

arikara 04/11/2013 #

elvenfire 04/29/2013 #

It seems that I got flaked on too. :I That's sad, I was really waiting for this one...
