Dont sign up for this swap if you have doubts. Its easy to get very busy and be on a budget at this time of the year so unless you are very sure that you will be able to send, there are plenty of smaller swaps on SB.

Note:

• *Winter Themed: Think snowflakes, woodland animals, Christmas (of course!), snowman, red green gold, midnight blue, white, warm cozy evenings... Also since this is a winter swap, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, WInter solstice etc -- If you follow them & think your partner would appreciate something related to it, then why not... :)

• Remember to read your partners profile really well, avoid things mentioned in the 'dislikes'

• If they are religious/follow and practice Christianity, it would be ok to send a religious themed card/ornaments etc. but probably not otherwise

• If they are going to be having a tropical Christmas, don't send gloves but its ok to send iced teas

• Send from the heart :) > not just for the sake of getting it out of the way ..take the time to pick items they would like, pack it nicely, perhaps individually wrap a few items or decorate the envie on the outside, add a handmade surprise or just to create the mood add something you found on a nature trail! -- you will not be rated down if you dont do this-- but c'mon its Christmas and you are apparently a creative/skilled crafter, so how can you resist?! :)
