Description:

I love love love dollar stores, and I especially love shopping for craft supplies there! This swap is to send a surprise parcel to your partner filled with gift-wrapped dollar store goodies!

You will have 1 partner - you will send your partner 10 $1 items from your local dollar store. Items should be craft items: fancy papers, buttons, nice stickers, fibers/ribbons, charms, fabric, beads (nice ones, no plastic unless your partner specifically asks for them), match boxes, rubber stamps, ink pads, brads, jewelry pliers, paints, fancy scissors, hole punches/shaped punches, glitter glue, and so forth!

This is Partner Specific, so please, when you sign up, post below several ideas of what you would like to receive (at least 10 ideas please), as well as anything you are allergic to or do not want.

Please be sure to wrap each item in gift wrap, so that it is a nice surprise for your partner to open and enjoy.

Please be sure that packaging is secure and safe (think about the elements - rain, etc), and sent with a tracking number to ensure delivery and proof of mailing.

With the parcel, please include a small letter or notecard with your user name, name of the swap and a little hi to your partner =)

The monetary value on this is $10 minimum (you of course may spend more if you like!). 10 items minimum. Feel free to send a few extra goodies or a profile surprise =)

You must have a minimum 4.8 rating & a completely filled out profile. No no sends in the past 6 months, no 1s or 3s in the past 6 months. Sorry, no newbies this time as it is a monetary value swap. I will remove anyone I deem unfit for this swap.

Rating: Please note that the only reason for a 1 would be if you never receive your package (after communication - please let me know what is going on if you are late or flaked on). A 3 only if it doesn't fill the requirements (for example I would rate my partner a 3 if they sent me a package full of items I specifically said I did not want). Please give hearts if you feel like your partner deserves it =)

This swap is for Canada/USA only. If you would like to make an International one, please feel free!

Please post below if there is anything you do not want to recieve - eg. you have a zillion brads and don'e need any more, or you are allergic to scented products, etc.

Have fun!

Any questions, Please feel free to PM me =)

Cheers all!

Thanks @minnie12

@craftymomme08 I know postage can be rediculous at times, especially for parcels. I am hoping some people will sign up and be able to send as small packets (bubble envie sorta thing).

Hi. Just like Tara said above, I don't need brads. I have plenty of ribbon & eyelets too!

Personally I could always use rubber stamps of all varieties, beads (big and small), stickers, rinestones (whatever they are called, the flat backed ones, the smaller the better), pretty papers, brads (smaller would be very welcome), ink pads, charms of all kinds!, matchboxes, bottle caps, candy tins, molds for making clay things in (all kinds are welcome), etc.

Please do not send me anything that contains Latex (such as balloons), clowns or anything from my dislikes list on my profile. Thank you!!

I like postcards (sometimes they have books of them there), notebooks (like bads of paper), pens, officey stuff (like post its, and such), dog toys (please no dog treats), cards, paper products. Anything is fine really!

Alrighty all! I did my best to screen the members - I had to remove a few due to the fact that they were either very new (no swaps) or all low value swaps (postcards or all e-swaps). I hope everyone will enjoy this swap and will put careful consideration into this =) Have fun all, and remember if anything happens and you are late to send, please be sure to contact both myself and your partner.
