This swap is INTERNATIONAL. Swappers with 4.5 or higher ONLY. Sorry, no newbies at this time. NO NO-SENDS IN LAST 60 DAYS. Okay, I love the filled matchbox swaps and thought I'd take it to another place--I have tons of little sidedishes for bentos and thought it would be neat to swap a filled one of those, instead of the traditional matchbox. So, here's the scoop! YOU WILL HAVE ONE PARTNER. Take a bento side dish (MINIMUM size of 8cm X 6cm/3.5" X 2.5" or MAXIMUM size of 12cm X 9cm/4.5" X 3.5") and fill it with kawaii items from one or more of the following brands: Sanrio, San-X, Q-Lia, Studio Ghibili, Kamio, etc. NO DISNEY AND NO DIDDL. This will be SWAPPER'S CHOICE, but I encourage you to read both the comments and your partner's profile for the most pleasing swap experience. The sidedish doesn't have to necessarily be from the above brands, (but no Disney/Diddl) but it CANNOT BE PLAIN. It must have some sort of character on it, whether it be Shinkansen, Hello Kitty, Curo Curin, Badtz Maru, Cinnamoroll, Pekkle, Pingu, Totoro, etc. It could also have food with faces on it, just as long as it is a kawaii bento side dish. I have also seen side dishes in the shapes of fruit or cupcakes---those would work too if they meet the size guidelines. I have tried to keep the size small to save on postage since this is an international swap. And because the side dishes come in several sizes, I tried to offer a variety for participants to work with. TYPES OF THINGS TO FILL IT UP: --Mini pencils and pens --Stickers --Cell phone charms --Mini notepads --Ink Stampers --Erasers --Jewelry or shaped beads --Shoe charms --Bandages --Lip gloss --Candy (yes, there is Hello Kitty and Shinkansen candies and others in the kawaii brands too) --Shoelaces --Food picks --Deco tape --Hair accessories --Nail accessories --Paper clips DO NOT JUST PUT IN A COUPLE STICKERS AND A CHARM AND CALL IT DONE. Really fill it up! I am putting a limit of at least $5 (or $10 including cost of bento side dish) on this swap. You can make some items, however, there needs to be a balance between homemade and store bought. EVERYTHING SHOULD FIT INSIDE THE SIDEDISH/BOX. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! LET'S HAVE FUN! =^_^= |
