Description:

Happy Holidays Everyone! I will disclose right away that this swap is not meant to be about religion or religious holidays, rather giving gifts that will make another smile in this jolly time of year. If you read on your partners profile that they are religious and practice a certain holiday then appropriate gifts can be sent, otherwise, please keep it generic and non-religious. It is getting very cold outside in much of the country now, and the holidays are right around the corner, which means some of these items are a must. In this swap each person will be assigned one partner to send a large box of goodies from the list below to. This swap should be somewhere between $10-$30, which is a big window, but many of these items can be homemade. At least five NEW items from the list below must be sent to deserve a five rating:

-Warm, fuzzy socks (Please have size posted on profile or comment below) -Scarf

-Hat

-Blanket (cheap fleece ones are great!)

-Cocoa/Tea/Coffee (combinations are great, must be at least 5 packages to count as 1 item)

-Insulated cup or coffee mug

-Cowl or earmuffs

-Cookie Mix

-Paperback Book

-Mittens or Gloves

-Holiday or Winter candy (Ex Peppermint chocolate)

-Winter themed movie or cd

-Slippers (Please have size posted on profile or comment below)

-Sweater (Can be a thrift store find, please post sizes below or on profile)

-Winter or holiday themed ATC (Please approve holiday cards with partner first)

NOTE: Please comment any material allergies (ex. Wool) below so that all users can avoid sending items made with that material. Homemade items are acceptable for this swap, but please make sure you are sending quality items that you would like to receive. All packages must include a one page letter describing why you love winter or the items you sent including the swap name and your swap-bot name.

This swap has a rating filter, so swappers must have at least a 4.9 rating and no unresolved 1’s or 3’s. I will be looking at EVERY profile to make sure they are well filled out and logged in recently. This swap will be open to newbies as well, but a well filled out profile is a must! Please only join this swap if you are serious about sending to someone else. I will angel if necessary and I would love if others who can angel comment below just in case. This is a rather large swap and angeling could get costly.

Most of all enjoy this swap and send someone something they will enjoy in this time of year! Remember, you will be receiving something wonderful too!

Hi guys, This is my first time hosting a swap so if you have any questions that you want answered before joining please ask! I want this to be a great time for everyone!

Gosh, this seems like a pretty high price tag swap to allow unrated folks to join... good luck to all who do participate!!

Hi :) For sizes, my foot size is 7. I am a medium for clothing. For mittens/gloves I have average sized hands. lol I'm not allergic to anything.

I second good dog. I love the idea, but I've been down this road too many times in the years I've been on swap-bot to feel comfortable participating in a swap of this dollar value with newbies. I know there are AMAZING newbies out there!!!! Unfortunately the percentage of newbies who continue swapping is just too low for a high dollar and un-angeled swap like this :-( I wish you great success...and lots of prayers!

The host said she would angel

DarlingWriter 11/24/2014 #

I would just like to say again that I would angel and I am taking great care to ensure that everyone who joins has a filled out profile and I will message each newbie. As of now there are no unrated swappers who have joined. I am sorry if this makes some swappers uncomfortable, but I will host more and maybe consider not allowing unrated swappers.

There are now unrated swappers! Welcome guys, please fill out your profiles! I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PARTICIPATE IF YOUR PROFILE IS BARE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO YOUR PARTNER!

To my partner, I don't like coffee or tea or food items. I don't like earmuffs but i enjoy hats. my favorite color for clothing is black. I live in Massachusetts and i'm outside a lot so i have a need for 'wintery' accessories cause it's getting freezing here. My size for sweaters and shirts is a Small. My foot size is 8, so i'd be a medium in socks/slippers. :) Oh and i'm allergic to wool.

I think I need to clear something up please feel free to send me anything you wish to send I will not rate lower than a 5 just because I happen to receive something that is not exactly to my liking thank you and happy swapping :)

Just got out of the hospital, so this is a late post..... I like XXL in any clothes that I sleep in and sweaters because I wear layers. My feet are 9... I love fleece gloves, hats and scarves. I am desperate for stationary sets so I'll heart for that :) Anything you send will be wonderful and I will appreciate it!!
