Swap categories: Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:9

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Read the swap requirements carefully before joining!

When signing up you add a comment at the bottom of this swap page where you list at least 5 different themes. For all of these you have to be able to send your partner 6 wrapped gifts in that theme. The partner you get for this swap will then pick one of those themes, and you wrap up and send those 6 gifts to them. Try to be as diverse as possible when you write the list, but be sure you don't promise something you can't deliver.

The wrapped presents has to have some kind of ribbon or something like that on them so they are possible to hang somewhere, either a big loop (that you can fit your hand trough) or two loose ends. By possible to hang I also mean that they won't fall out of their ribbon or what you have chosen to use at any time during December! If an item weighs more than a postcard in an envelope it's just not good enough to tape a 4 inch piece of ribbon to it, the ribbon has to go around it, in both directions. And please remember that the loops you end up with when you tie your shoes are not possible to hang something with, they just slide off.

You also need to think about the fact that this is something that is probably going to hang in someones living area for quite a long time, so please make it as pretty as you can. You are NOT allowed to use envelopes to wrap this swap, but feel free to use properly sized bags, foil, news paper, tissue and so on =)

New of the year is also that you are required to mark all the gifts with what swap it is and who it is from. This does not have to be a big operation with hand made gift tags and such (unless you really want to), just write with a marker on the tape you used to wrap the gift with or something like that =)

The value of these gifts should be around $5 all together, no matter what the theme is.

Don't forget to add your list in the comments if you sign up!

Question: (hope this gets noticed in between all the lists ;P)

If you attach ribbons really well (I have an idea) but don't loop them around the gift twice, is that still meeting the swap criteria? Or do they need to be looped around?

Lilrawker - All you need to do is make sure they can be hung so you can use string or deco tape. Make sure it is very secure.

How does this work rate-wise? Do we just rate a 5 once we receive the gifts? Or do we wait til we've opened them? If so...I hope I don't forget by that time, cause Im in so many christmas swaps!

You rate a five when you receive them then decide to rate a heart or not when you open them.
