Dollar Store Shopping Spree

I'd love an international swap !

I was so gonna make a swap last night and call it "whatya get for your money" well im glad that you did!!! this should be fun....

I'd love an international swap too!

I'm in for an international swap.

i love the dollar store! Are there dollar stores outside the US? Anyway, I always like the different gift bags from the dollar store-anything unisex. I know the $$ stores near me have nice looking notepads. Other than that-I enjoy surprises.

I'm ok with it being US only, this time. Since I recently spent a bit more on postage on a swap I did, because I sent overseas. Simply do another soon that is international !

I like the idea of gift bags for my partner to buy, and any cool funky yarns, and scrapbooking stuff. From there on... have big gobbs of fun finding me something funky ! Colleen

It's nice to see that this swap gained alot of interest so quick and from the looks of it, I'll probably start an international swap next week!

As for me, I love blank notebooks, swedish fish, stationary items or pens. I'm all up for surprises too!

I think to include Canada in this one is good. Shipping isnt that much more than regular. It is overseas that kills ya.

This is GREAT! My sister is dollar store queen! I am glad it isn;t international or I would have to pass. I am brand new to swapbot and just completed 3-4 swaps. I got international in each one! Chy

This should be great. I'm fine with almost anything. I like bizarre, kawaii and cheesy. Look at my flickr site for more....

For me- scrapbook stuff, Buddhas ( where i actually got my first one!) candy, candles...fun stuff!

For me also, I would like scrapbooking stuff especially. Don't really want candles nor knick-knacks. Thanks.

'Nother dollar store junkie checking in! I like all the paper-goods (stickers, decorative napkins, notecards and yes I love the gift bags too - the more colorful & artistic the better) unique things to use as art supplies and cool necklaces. Fun little containers are good (trinket boxes, storage bins) Candy is cool (yeah Swedish Fish those are goood) but please no chocolate or anything that could drip or melt. These are just suggestions! so my partner has an idea of what I like - it's not a "list" of wants (I know people can be put off by that), and you are certainly free to surprise me!

I would love to join this swap but I'm in Canada...I love the idea of an international swap like this.

I signed up last night but didn't make my list cause I was sleepy...

These are just suggestions, not demands...

nailpolish, stickers, stationary, candles, incenses, little girl barrettes, scrapbooking or craft supplies

Another Dollar tree freak here!!! could live there:) Love paper goods, pencils, pens,fingernail polish,candy, kitchen stuff,unique little doohickys,just about anything but no candles or incense kids stuff welcomed have a grandson and 12 yr old girl:) looking forward to this swap:)

Another Dollar Tree junkie ----> me! I'm fine with anything. I like art supplies, pens, stationary, but anything is fine. I like surprises.

Surprise me. Just please nothing with a strong fragrance. I'm allergic to a lot of perfumes and scented products.

Its nice to see that I am not the only dollar store addict here haha! I will be happy with anything cute (like kids jewelery/hair stuff) or anything artistic,any paper supply goods that I can make stuff with, just please no pens because I have waay to many.anything else is great surprise me !

Have fun guys!

this sounds like such a fun swap!

i love stationary, fun containers, silly toys and surprises!

Oh this is fun! I'm glad I'm not the only dollar store freak out there! I love anything. Especially yarn or anything from the craft dept. I even love the dollar store romance books!! LOL

Krystal

Dollar stores are my therapy when I feel blue! I love seasonal dollar stuff like christmas, easter, or birthday party stuff! Candleholders and tealights, soaps, scrapbooking stuff! Anything goes.

Oh I am new but this sounds like so much fun!! I love the cute hair items. and Nail things like polishes and nail decails I think I spelled that right lol. I love red for the color and I Also love all candy LOL I just can't help it candy candy candy LOL

Dollar Tree is the best store! I love notepads, stationary, pens, pencils, erasers, candles, candle holders, craft supplies, strange things, kitchen or bath stuff. suprises are good too :)

$ Stores are great! I like anything to do with paper, surprise me!

I love anything thats disney(tinkerbell,the little mermaid,mickey mouse),good writing pens,baby stuff,hair stuff( hair clips,head bands,hair ties),notepads or writing tablets,and anything you wanna surprise me with..lmao

I like about anything from Coke glasses, stickers, candy, rubber stamps, stationary, fun items, Be creative and send me anything you would find fun to get yourself. If you find some Vampire/Halloween or Bat stuff that is a plus. Some dollar stores you may find out dated seasonal items. I also like London UK if you find anything related to it.

I love dollar stores -- I like printed napkins, stickers, gift bags, candy, storage containers -- seasonal decorations -- feel free to surprise me. I also have 9 month old daughter and she loves wiffle balls from the dollar store.

Great! I am also addicted to the dollar store. I like the gift bags. Esp; Betty Boop. I also like the note cards & matching stationery. Please no scented items as I am allergic. Also no candles. I like seasonal items but not childess. I like Easter ornaments. Travel games are great. No puzzle books.

I too would like gift bags, paper items for crafting, napkins,items for cardmaking, candy in tins. Not a fan of cutsie though. Want to start shopping now, gotta wait and see what my partner likes though or I'll be buried in items!!! lol

I just realized that I hadn't mentioned anything I'd like from a dollar store. I'm easy to please! I find myself hanging out in the stationery aisle the most (pens, stationery/writing tablets, blank notecards, scrapbooking supplies, bookmarks, stickers, packing tape, etc.) I enjoy anything that has green frogs, butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, flowers, rainbows or waterfalls on it. Oh, and "Inspirational" or "Christian" items/sayings are fine with me, too. If you hang out in the stationery aisle when shopping for me, I'm sure you'll come out with something I'd enjoy in no time! :) Have fun! I know that I'm looking forward to getting my partner's name so that I can check out what she/he enjoys! I just LOVE the dollar store!

Just a comment to say that I hope the coordinator's comment in the rules about "swappers with more than two no sends will also be banned" will be enforced. The swap begins in only a week and I see 3 swappers here that fall in that category. One has three 1 ratings, one has four 1 ratings, and another has SIX ratings of 1!!!

What a great idea for a swap! I love anything stationery related...interesting socks...kitchen gadgets...candy...and surprises :D

This sounds like such a blast!! The only thing I request not be sent to me is cosmetics, perfumes, that kind of stuff. I would love to be surprised though!!!

Thanks so much!!

Oh I just love Dollar Stores! These are just suggestions, but I love~funky yarn,incense,incense holders,any scrapbooking items,funky yarn, stationary items,did I mention funky yarn? ;) The only thing I really do not want are any stuffed/plushy toys. Thanks and have fun!

Do u count Puerto Rico as part of the US or international??? Cause even though it is a commonwealth of the US some people count it as international. We do have the same postal service and its cheaper to send something to Puerto Rico than coast to coast in the US. I want to know so I can join the swap cause by that way the swap its an awesome idea!!!!!

This looks like soooo much FUN-I LOVE the $ Store! My favorite aisles are the paper related ones (stationery, scrapbooking, etc). But I\'m up for anything-LOVE a surprise.

Well I guess I need to put in my list. Well here goes...ANYTHING...if I do not have a use for it then I am sure that 1 of my kids will find it a home. If I need it I will just go and check 1 or 2....(okay maybe more)of the 60 purses my 4 year old daughter has in her room...I will welcome anything...Shopping at $ store is my second job...:)

BRING IT ON! Oh my, I can\'t go in one of these stores without spending $50...so, I guess I\'ll just have to up it to $60. :D

I\'m easy to please, but here are some suggestions...I\'m partial to paper, scrapbooking items, hair ties, gift bags, shower gels (no funky smelling ones though) unusual items, picture frames, socks, candy, pens, seasonal items. (No cutesy! I have no kids) Anything goes...have fun!! Linda

I find dollar stores fun because you know that nothing is more than $1 and you can have a basketful of stuff for such a small amount. I don\'t like knick knacks from dollar stores, but I do like kitchen items, things for your hair, notebooks, pens, pencils- anything for the desk, gift bags, picture frames. More useful things. I am a sucker for interesting plates or cups - even plastic ones.

This swap sounds like it\'ll be a blast!

I\'m not going to be picky. But, I would like, as everyone else said, some scrapbooking stuff. Also, if they have CDs, I will take one or two! :-D Like here, they sell relaxing classical music...I love those.

I also like candles, candy...anything like that! Have fun with it!

This sounds like fun! I\'d like treats for my animals, baby items, and maybe candles, stickers or candy. I\'m easy to please. I\'m really excited about this swap!

I like stationary, memo pads, pens and all sorts of things I would love...I like surprises.

I like craft supplies, stationary, scrapbooking matierials, etc. Feel free to surprise me! Just no incense, candles, or anything with a really strong scent please. I live in a dorm, so those things aren\'t allowed. I can\'t wait!!

this sounds like a fun swap. I like garden seed packets, birdhouses, colorful potholders and dishtowels, anything with rose scents, candles, sachets, paper goods like napkins and paper plates, gift bags, stationery, interesting picture frames of all sizes and tools like screwdriver sets and electrical tape. I don\'t have any children or pets and don\'t need any makeup. I keep busy at all crafts and use just about anything, and am looking forward to surprises.

oh, i love $store swaps! i like stationary, pens, lipgloss/makeup, candles/candleholders, travel themed items, cute boxes/jewlerey, etc. and surprises are great of course! thanks.

No list for me, I'll take anything!

I know I am posting this late, but in case my swap partner needs ideas, I like: beaded necklaces that I could hang from my rearview mirror in my car, stationary, scrapbooking supplies, pens, coloring books, book marks, gift bags, wrapping paper, and suprises! :) Have fun shopping everyone

Honestly, I like random. The more random the better. And toys.

Hey, Swap Partner!

I would love anything crafty...scrapbooking paper, pens, scissors, paints,...Have fun shopping!!!

Apparently we have formed a group of dollar store junkies without meaning to! LOL I love all the dollar stores, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar and Big Lots even has some cute stuff. It's fund to get more for your money! I love all kinds of scrapbooking supplies, cute colored paper of different sizes, any kind of stickers, any kind of craft item really and I LOVE felt tip pens! So, go to town and have a blast finding stuff! :) Jennifer

Hi Marion, I mailed out your package today. I hope you enjoy the fun things I sent and I tryed to get somethings you could use. I think we have alot of the same interest so let me know what you think. Cathy Jewell

to my swap partner- other stuff i mgiht like- bath stuff like poofs, shower gel, candle tarts, stationary, scrapbook stuff...hmmm...yah!

To MY partner- i bought all your stuff today!!!

I'm having fun putting together my partner's package ... Just need to find 1-2 more things and I'll be ready to mail! But I wanted to mention - don't forget - most Target stores now have a $1 section (mine is right up front in our SuperTarget) and they usually have really cute stuff.

~ gem ~

sasha, I should get your stuff mailed off this weekend.

FYI: Most Wal-Marts also have $1 sections!

To my partner: I am allergic to everything so NO bath stuff/lotion/etc. Other then that, I don't even know what I'd want from one of these stores. No knick knacks. ... I like office supplies.

I thought this was really tedious, trying to shop for this swap. I went to a Dollar Tree in my city and wasn't impressed at all. I have never been in a dollar store, that's why I wanted to join, but it looks like a bunch of useless stuff. Anyway, I've learned my lesson! My package is going out tomorrow to Janet Warner. (I'm going to look at another store to see if I can fill the box a little more.) :[

elle - the dollar stores may not always have what you are hoping to find, but I did my shopping for my partners at Dollar Tree, Big Lots, Dollar General and Wal-Mart. You can find many $1 items at all of these stores. Like gem said as well, many Target stores also have a $1 section as well.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! - it seems that there has been some confusion about the $10 limit for this swap. The idea of this swap was to go to a dollar store ( a store that sells only one dollar items ) and buy 10 items which would equal $10 for the spending limit. One person has already received a swap with only five items inside because their partner had to spend five dollars on shipping. The ten dollar limit is to be spent on the items... not the items and the shipping combined. I'm sorry that I did not make that completly clear, but I am posting this in hopes that any one else out there who is not really sure about the spending limit, now knows what it means.

Roberta, I had a lot of fun shopping for you, I sent your package today and it has a lot of neat stuff in it.

My package was sent out Saturday morning and should arrive in Mississippi by Wednesday! Hope you like what I sent LN9813 !

Goldie, your package went out today! let me know when it arrives! I hope you like everything! susi I hope i did not get the swaps mixed up! lol

AlwaysJoy - I will be waiting patiently for it to arrive! I'll be sure to let you know when it does!

Marcia in PA, your package arrived today, and I loved it! The first thing I opened was the fuschia-colored drawstring gauze bag holding the stationery, pen and magnet combo...well, I laughed out loud...it was the EXACT item I was going to buy for myself in the Dollar Store last week! But I did not buy it for myself because my 5 year old daughter wanted one (the purple set) and I bought the gold bagged set for a friend. I didn't have enough to buy myself one! So I set down that same exact fuschia colored set to come back and get later...only you sent one to me! How awesome is that? I also chuckled at the little scrapbooking book you chose to send...SAME one I've bought for myself! You know my taste! I can never have enough of these cute little scrapbooks. I, of course, LOVED the ladybug and butterfly stickers and the paper was the best! I hadn't seen the inspirational words sets of scrapbooking paper at my dollar store, so these were a nice treat! Thank you for the pens, too! I let my daughter have the purple heart light up pen 'cause she loves purple. But I just had to keep the lady with the pink hair pen...too funny and exactly how I feel some days...FRAZZLED!

Thank you for a great package, Marcia!

Scrapbooking Princess your package arrived today! I loved it! You must of gotten good vibes cause everything in it was something that I can use or NEEDED! Some of the items were not what I could find here on the westcoast~the pen's (love them!) the note cards (very cute) and those power clips I just got myself some the other day and use them on lot's of large swaps that I need to glue down the ribbon (hold's like a champ).... Thanks so much~ this swap will go down as one as of my favorites....as much as receiving as giving! Doris

I am so glad you liked your goodies Doris :) It was such fun to shop for you :)

Mailed my swappee's package yesterday morning via Parcel Post, so expect 4-7 days mailing time. Sneak Preview in my Flick'r if ya wanna see!

~ gem ~

OOPs!! I did not check out what day the 10th was(Saturday), I live in a small town, the PO is closed on Saturday! Sorry, Janeausten! The package is packed waiting to go, it will be mailed Monday, 13th.

Sorry for the delay Carmen, I haven't been able to access my internet for a few days, but your package is on it's way. I hope you (and your daughter) enjoy your goodies!!!

Barb M Your package arrived today (on my birthday), it was such a nice surprise. I can actually use everything you sent!!! Thank you so much!!!! Aerochik

Natalie- that was great that it came on your birthday! I am a March birthday too! I am glad you can use all the different items. It was a fun shopping trip. Happy Birthday. Barb

Hi Colleen- You made my Monday- your package was waiting for me at the post office- what fun to open! You got everything on my wish list and more- I love everything- the dishes etc are great- can't wait to use them. The nitelight is quite unique- I could go on and on- but suffice it to say that you are a great swapper (I am new to this). Thanks again. Barbara N.

Jakfrostwife, I got my package today, and it was GREAT. How wonderful of you to have a theme and walk me through how to use each thing! Your letter was the best part! I really like the microfiber dish towel and the garden charm as well. I'll be putting it up as soon as it stops raining!

Thanks so much!!

Thanks for letting me know Bombshell-o-matic. I'll be looking for my package soon!

OK Grace to tell you the truth....I love to go to the Dollar store just for those darn microfiber dish towels! (You have to keep going back cause they only come in every once in a while, but then do we need an excuse to go?) I've even been know to take one or two to a pot luck so that I don't worry about leaving my favorite one there! (come on, it's a buck!) And it doesn't matter if your kitchen is clean as long as we have clean/new dish towels, life is good.

& I had to buy myself that garden charm too, except where we live if I waited until it stopped raining it would never get hung outside....~I'm gald you like it.....I can't wait for this swap to posted again. I loved my swap partners stuff and had a blast with yours....Doris

Hi I haven't rec'd my package yet and I sent out mine right after the partners were given out. Could someone let me know if my package has been sent out yet? Thank you

Hi Marion, Did you receive your package? I still havent received anything. Please don't forget me. I have not received things from 6 swaps. I send my things early and look so forward to getting something thanks Cathy Jewell

Thank you, rosehueglasses! I got your package today, and I really love it!!! I'm sure I'll use it all, and I already ate some of the cow tales ;-)

Sasha, I sent yours off, so I hope you get it soon!

I recieved my package from DDMaree! My she spoiled me so darn much! Lets see...a cookie monster book for my daughter, Andes mint, junior mints and hard candy mint ice cream mints, an ocean candle, heart candles, a E post it notes ( i sent my partner the same kind! ) sticky ribbon, a mini scrapbook album type book, awesome retro notecards, a cute jeweled pen, and my favorite item- scented bubbles!!! They smelled like cherry, coconut and blueberry and are shaped like ice cream cones! Too awesome! I wonder if i forgot anything! It was just so great!

AlwaysJoy - I received your package in the mail the other day! I loved it! So many unique things inside! I am sure that I will find a use for everything you sent!

I received my package from Kristina O.

All I can say is WOW, you got the best gifts :)

I love all the stationary stuff, and as a teacher, it will absolutely come in handy! Thank you soo much!!!

Kimmie-My package was fantastic! I can tell that you spent some time reading my profile and blog because everything was perfect! Many thanks! I loved the jewelry!

I got mine from greenfreak40. Thank you soo much!! I loved it!!

Hi Lisa Riston, I want to Thank you so much for all the great things you sent for me and my grandson. We will both enjoy everything. I hope things are going better with the family you are in my prayers. Cathy Jewell

Both this swap for me and my son's for the Kids Swap came today so we were going crazy with the package opening :D

And I just wanted to give big thanks to bloodredcuted for my Dollar$tore swap package, you really did an excellent job picking things for me, but most especially: The moonface garden stone - that I almost bought for myself, the cool stampcollage puzzle that I DID buy for myself, HAH! (but now I have one to alter and one to use in other stuff, yay!), the very cool paperweight I was also eyeing, the picture frame that I am determined to put some cool "doublesided" art into, and this will seem funny cause it's such a small thing - but that darn pencil sharpener came in SO handy, I needed to sharpen a kids' Beginner pencil (the fat ones that aren't presharpened) just today and not one sharpener here that fit. And then your box showed up and Ta-Da! theres the exact size one I needed. (I know ya probly added that bag'a'goodies for my boys but I called the sharpener!) Thanks again, this was a really fun swap for me, both ways :)

~ gem ~

I finally got my box yesterday 3/20, it was late but it was nice things so thank you.

Elizzabeth Anne, your package was mailed yesterday (March 22) and should be there to you in two or 3 days! While you told me in a personal email that you'd like just about anything, I hope you really meant that and find your package to your liking. I threw in a little more considering the lateness of the hour. Enjoy it!

I haven't received anything yet.

I haven't received from my partner 'Melanie' yet.

Received My package!! Thank you Melanie!
