Let’s curate a special swap for our partner

Again, there are no restrictions or dollar amounts to be concerned about. We can literally send whatever we'd like to share (as long as it's inspired by our partner's profile and/or likes, and interests! Perhaps we saw another swap idea elsewhere and want to make or do the same thing here - that's absolutely acceptable! Or maybe you made duplicates of a crafty item, and it's something your partner might enjoy. Send it!

Ask yourself: "what do I think they’ll enjoy receiving?"

It can be a long, interesting pen-pal letter on nice stationery... or something that is inspired by what you saw on their profile page or in their wish list… maybe even curate a “themed” packet of goodness to brighten their week, month, or year?!?! The possibilities are endless!

Send whatever your heart desires!

Please try not to let the freedom of this swap overwhelm you - you’re certainly allowed to and encouraged to contact your partner to ask them for any hints or ideas of what they could use or may want to receive in their mailbox… This doesn't have to be a complete "surprise" swap!

Let’s ease our minds, de-stress, and just have fun with it! This swap is about connecting with our swap-bot friends via snail mail! 💙🍪
