Description:

This swap is to create a traditional advent parcel for your partner. It is really important to consult your partner's profile so everybody please revise these to help your partner delight you.


You will be sending

  • 24 little profile based gifts
  • one Christmas gift to the value of approx $10
  • all gifts should be Christmassily wrapped and labelled.
  • 3 - 4 gifts should be Christmas themed
  • a Christmas card/letter.

As a twist, the labels on the smaller gifts should contain an intriguing clue as to what is inside. For example if you are sending brads put "for holding it all together" on the label or something similar. Sachets of tea or coffee, you could put "Perking you up". I've done this with my mother and trust me, it really makes it more exciting. If you have labelled your small gifts with numbers you could include this info on a list with the parcel instead. Your Christmas card could be part of a gift that is closer to christmas or be with the Christmas Day gift itself or just on its own.

Handcrafted items are encouraged but please have a mix between these and bought items. The interpretation of "Christmas" is up to you but it is the season after all.

Since the bullet thing clearly doesn't like me, I shall try to edit tomorrow and add a pretty picture. Any changes you'd like, let me know.

Looks good to me Annette, I played with the editing a bit and found you cant have a line of text directly above the list you want to bullett??
