Give what you want. Holiday SWAP

I LOVE getting mail and I LOVE getting presents. Especially when they come in the mail. The Holidays and all the madness that goes with them are almost upon us. I can't think of a better pick me up than a surprise in the mail. So here's the details. Come up with a package of stuff you'd like to get this holiday season, and send it to someone else. Gift giving Karma is bound to come your way, as you receive a present in return.

Please feel free to put together a creative package-- if you're crafty, so much the better. Anything is fair game-- $30 is the upper limit, but don't feel like you have to spend that much. Once I have all the swappers I'll create a flickr group where you can post pictures and hopefully links to where you found the presents-- making all of our holiday shopping a little easier, and a little cooler.

The details:
1-email (emilycox at gmail dot com) with SWAP in the subject line. Please email by November 18th (that's 2 weeks)
2- Include your
name:
email:
shipping address:
something you want this holiday season: (include link if you've got it)
your url for blog/ flickr/ web page if you've got it.
**indicate if you'd be willing to have an international swap partner
3-Put together a package of stuff you'd be delighted to be receiving.
4- Wrap it up real nice
5- By December 1 ship out a present to your swap buddy I assign. Value of gifts should be below $30. Please include stuff you'd really enjoy receiving.
6- Mailbox Bliss awaits.

Are the presents something we make or something we buy? Sounds like fun!
