I don't know about you, but I absolutely love whimsy jar swaps. The only problem is that they're expensive to ship sometimes and I never quite trust that the jar will get to the recipient unbroken. (Also, I have a zillion jars already!) So how about doing a whimsy jar with just the whimsy (no jar)? Here's what you're going to do: Gather a bunch of great Halloween goodies (enough to fill a 16 oz jar at least) together and put them in a Ziplock bag instead of a jar. Then mail that Ziplock bag of awesomeness to your partner! If I were to guess, I'd say that at least fill a Quart size Ziplock or Gallon to qualify. Or if you're worried if it's enough, test it in a jar to see if it fills the jar. Don't skimp on your partner. You're welcome to include gently used items, but nothing that's torn, dirty or smells bad. And please don't include candy or anything that might melt. Some people are still having some warm weather and it would be awful to ruin the package with melted goo inside! Want some ideas of what to include? Think ribbons, stickers, buttons, charms, embellishments, punch outs, ephemera - anything that fits the theme! Bonus points if you decorate the package cleverly! Just make sure everything's inside a Ziplock bag so there's no way for it to get loose and makes its way out! Now the particulars - I'm demanding a 4.5 rating because this is a package swap - not difficult but it will take some time and effort. No recent 1s or 3s. I reserve the right to ban anyone shady from the swap. Just please don't flake, okay? If you don't think you can follow through, don't join the swap! Also, communication is key. If you're going to be late, msg your partner and let them know. There is also an International version of this swap at: Halloween: All Whimsy - No Jar (Intl Any questions, please let me know! If this goes well, I may make it a series of swaps with different themes! Happy swapping! |
