CPG 12 Days of Xmas In July Flat Envies - US

This is a US only swap before the July USPS price hike.

This will mail for either a small flat rate priority box (prices unchanged at $10.65) , a large bubble mailer (package rates going up by 7%) or a bubble flat rate envelope ($10.85) - about $8-11 to mail in the continental US.

Please spend at least $20 on nice, new, usable items. Don't sign up if you can't commit to sending nice items, please and thanks. USPS tracking is required. Items are mostly senders choice but check profiles for dislikes or don't need items.

1 partner, 12 seasonal small, filled envelopes or wrapped packages, numbered 1-12 and sent with one holiday card to your partner for the 12 days of Christmas.

NO: Paper scraps, kiddie/planner/freebie stickers, freebie items, used items. Everything must be new, nice, usable and items you would be delighted to receive.

Requirements:

Make, buy, and decorate 12 small envelopes (minimum is atc size, no maximum size) or wrap 12 small packages (i.e. wrap 2 blank notecards); the packages can be different sizes and shapes.

Envelopes must be lightly holiday/christmas themed - wrapping paper or plain envelopes you have decorated enough that they will look festive if displayed. If your item is too fat for an envelope, just wrap it up nicely.

Number them from 1- 12

Fill each one with a flat or mostly flat treat that your partner will be delighted to later this year - traditionally the 12 days of Xmas run Dec 25 - Jan 5, but you can open these anytime during the holiday season. Fillers do NOT need to be holiday themed. Absolutely NO food/tea, junk, paper scraps, freebie items.

Securely pack them in a box or large bubble envie and mail via USPS with tracking You MUST Send the tracking number to your partner.

Items are sender's choice but you MUST check your partner's profile for their "do not send" and "dislikes" list. E.g., we don't have a tub so bath bombs are on my do not send list. Gifts can be handmade or store bought, get creative!
