I am re-hosting this swap as there was a request that I have another one in August. So here is it ladies: This is intended to be a playful, semi-sarcastic twist (think Anne Taintor) on some of the "domestic bliss/goddess"-type swaps that have been done in the past. This swap is for those of us who either strive to be a "domestic goddess" and aren't quite succeeding, or for those who cringe at the very idea. It might be helpful to post in comments which category you fall under. :-) To participate, fill a box with approximately $20 worth of goodies befitting the theme. Have fun with it & be creative! Ideas: Cleaning products from http://www.caldrea.com or http://www.mrsmeyers.com - they come in all sorts of divine scents & are far more luxurious than most of us would probably buy for ourselves & make cleaning a bit more fun. Fun aprons, dish gloves, pot holders, etc. Anything from Anne Taintor or http://disgruntledhousewife.com A household organizer of some sort (???), for the severely disorganized :-) Check a bookstore - there are a number of light-hearted, fun books on the topic Or you could go with vintage 50s magazines/books on cooking & cleaning Any type of diversion your partner would enjoy (maybe based on her favorite crafts) - because some of us would rather do anything other than housework! OR, if you'd prefer to make items to send, here's a list from Craftster: -tees, totes, aprons, etc with Phyllis Diller or Erma Bombeck quotes -tributes/shrines to famous bad housekeepers (Roseanne, Lucy, Mr. Mom, etc. -kitschy '50s housewives gulping down martinis on postcards, retro definitions of a woman's household duties, heavy on the irony printed/painted/stenciled/needleworked onto just about anything imaginable -crummy housewife kits with pajamas, bon-bons and tv schedules with the soaps highlighted -the whole 'I'd rather be...' could be explored quite extensively here To sign up you must have a rating of 4.85 or higher. Sorry no newbies this time! US only. Please list in the comments whether you are a aspiring domestic goddess or whether you cringe at the very idea!! Have fun and Happy swapping!! |
