Description:

I see so many fun swaps where people have the opportunity to send and receive little envelopes of happy mail, but yet so many of those fun swaps are not NEWBIE friendly or lower rating friendly. Every single one of us was a new member once, and we had to really search for newbie friendly swaps. I also know that sometimes people are quick to rate someone less than a 5 simply because they didn't like a package. I know that sometimes things happen in life that cause us to have an issue with a swap. I am not excusing or condoning bad swappers. I do however, believe that those people with 1 recent 1 or 3 ratings, shouldn't be banned from a swap. So.

This is a NEWBIE friendly swap

MAKE SURE YOUR PROFILE IS FILLED OUT

This is also a swap that will allow those with 1 recent 1 or 3 rating to participate. I believe in second chances. (However. I will be checking all profiles and if I see my poor rating option being taken advantage of, I will make changes to those signed up as needed.)

Now on to the details. This really is a simple swap.


Buy a Christmas Greeting Card or if you want, feel free to make a card. (High quality). Write your partner a little note in the card. It can be some words of encouragement, it can be an introduction note, or it can really be anything positive you want to write to your partners.

What you include with the card is senders choice, but please check your partners profile for allergies, likes and dislikes. We don't want your partners getting something they can't use or are allergic to.

Some examples of what you could send are:

Sticker Sheets (NO reward, teacher, tiny or partially used or torn sticker sheets.)

Loose Stickers

Tea Bags (Wrapped in original plastic of course.)

Hot Cocoa

If you notice your partners are crafters, than please by all means, send them something they can use for their craft.

Your options are endless. THIS ENVELOPE SHOULD NOT COST MORE THAN A STAMP TO SEND.

All items must be new, not torn, not dirty

I can't control who smokes and who doesn't. So if you get an item that smells of cigarette smoke, there's nothing I can do about it.

I will angel if I have to. Please don't flake on this. This is a simple swap that isn't expensive to put together or to ship. This is great for those just starting out, those who are on a small budget or those who need to repair their rating.

I have a question maybe you can answer. I am a newbie have been in about 6 swaps so far. Some one rated me a one. I dont know why. I am wondering if we are also suppose to return a swap to the same person that sent one to us? I have only sent only to the addresses that I have gotten from this site. Maybe this is why I recieved the 1..
