Description:

It's that time of year where everything gets chapped! So let's swap 1 hand lotion and 1 lipbalm and keep our fellow swappers looking & feeling good through the winter months.

You will have 1 partner and you will send 1 full size lipbalm and 1 hand lotion (min 2 oz). No trial sizes.

You may NOT send any dollar store items for this swap - please check that the lip balms are NOT made in China.

Please send national name branded items only, items you would be delighted to receive or give to your family.

Brands I'm thinking of include: Avon, Mary Kay, Melaleuca, Bonne Bell, Bathworks, Whole Foods, Sephora, Burts Bees, Kiss My Face, Zia, Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop, Caswell & Massey, Yves Rocher, LUSH. One step up from drugstore. Please pm me if you have questions on what is an acceptable brand - I'm sure I've missed some!

Handmade beauty products are NOT acceptable for this swap, everything needs to be new and store bought. I expect that this package will cost you $4-5 before postage.

Swappers, please list any likes/dislikes in your profile (fragrances, etc)

If you have fragrance allergies or any other allergies, please DO NOT JOIN this swap.

If you are tied to one brand only, please DO NOT JOIN this swap.

It's my expectation that everyone will send packages that will earn them a 5. These are the swap expectations for ratings, so there is no confusion.
* 5 for 1 lipbalm + 1 lotion in acceptable sizes from acceptable brands, sent on time.
* 3 for late packages, less than 2 items, small/not acceptable sizes, or dollar store or other unacceptable branded items
* 1 for no package

Administrivia:

  • This is a US only swap
  • Rated swappers only, with ratings of 4.8 or better and no no-sends within the last 3 months
  • Rated swappers with at least 5 swaps completed, no email swaps count toward this minimum
  • No newbies or unrated swappers
  • No brand name junkies
  • I reserve the right to ban any swapper I think is dodgy, picky, difficult, rude or otherwise unqualified to be in my swap

I will ban swappers on the day the swap closes so go ahead and sign up if you will be rated by then and don't worry, I'll be checking all profiles!

Pls pm me with any questions and happy swapping!

I love the way you outlined everything so clearly. This should be a great swap, thanks!

OrigamiGrace 12/13/2007 #

Thanks! I'm getter meaner and more specific the more I host:) But it makes for a clean swap with (fingers crossed) no flakers!

TeaNi 12/13/2007 #

Yay, fun swap! Dear partner- please see my profile for the few scents I find unpleasant, thanks!

Franzi89X 12/13/2007 #

Oh this is a great swap. Sad that i live in Germany. Maybe u want a international swap too?! That would be so much fun :-)

OrigamiGrace 12/14/2007 #

Franzi89x - pls feel free to steal this swap and make an international version!

Zia 12/15/2007 #

Don't much like florals or mineral oil-based stuff -- but if that's what I get, so be it!

DeeDee 12/18/2007 #

I'd like to pass on lavender scents (it makes me sneeze), but if that is what I get then I can pass it on in another swap. :O)

Caffinna 12/28/2007 #

Dear partner please understand that I absolutely detest hate and cannot stand sweet flowery scents on myself as they tend to sour and smell bad in short order!

Caffinna 12/28/2007 #

But like others said, if it's what I get then so be it! I'll either pass on in another swap or "re-gift".

great swap- especially the part about picky swappers (see my profile). i love swapping, but the pages and pages of requests on some profiles is getting rediculous!

Brittercat 12/31/2007 #

I found some purse sized lotions at Bath and bodyworks but they are 1.7 ounces would they be acceptable?

OrigamiGrace 12/31/2007 #

Hey Brittercat, perhaps if you were willing to send 2 of them, so the total ounces is > 2oz. Ping your partner first and make sure they're okay with that. If it were me, I'd be fine but technically the min size is 2 oz. Not sure if that helps, lol:)
