I was thinking of something simple like a postcard swap. Because I keep spending copious amounts of money on these swaps '

I used to collect post cards and had loads of really interesting ones... i'd have done good on that one for cheap!!! I want the chance to do someone a big parcel liek the summer swap ladies got... (plus i want some goodies myself Razz) but seriously.. i used to have a pen friend that was more of a parcel friend and it was awesome!! maybe we could have a swap where everything everyone sends is the same colour... someone sends pink, someone sends blue etc...

That would be pretty cool. I'd try to organize a swap but I really don't know what theme to go with. Maybe like, a jewelry/accessories swap? And like you said, color themed? Where the girls go to Claire's or whatever and spend like $15 on jewelry in a certain color scheme.. idk. Razz

Make-up swap?
Candy/sweets swap?

I know they've been done before but I was annoyed my account wasn't activated in time to take part.

Cd swap?
Book swap?
Dvd swap?

I can't think of any more

I'd love a clothing swap but then there's the whole aspect of sizing, taste, etc. Razz

Ya, of course you can add and request different things in your packages.
No matter what the theme is I always include goodies that are local to Hawaii, as it's a chance for the girls to experience something that they can't from their location.

Mhmm, it's so cool on my end too, to receive stuff from people all over the place.
The only thing about international swaps is the price of SHIPPING! It killed me when I had to ship to Morgana, because of the weight of the package I had, and the destination, it came out to $25 for the shipping alone!

What about a local things swap? So you send out stuff that's all from your area/country?

I was thinking of this too earlier.
Like, include snacks, postcards, souvenirs from gift shops, anything specific to your region?
Nice idea, if no one else is going to set something up I will do it in a week or so. I want to get more stars, so I can partake in the hair swaps when they come around!

I think it would work better as international, too. I'd be more excited by things from far away than from Britain

I love the idea of the color swap! But perhaps have the recipient pick the color so that way they don't get stuck with a color they don't like or don't look good with?

I haven't done a swap in forever and was actually just thinking about this. I really want to do one. I think I would enjoy a random swap like the summer one.. where it's just lots of cool stuff. ^_^

I had an idea of a 'Super Small Swap'

Where everything had to fit into an A5 mailer, and cost very little.

And had to satisfy three criteria(three items)...(One part handmade, one part edible/useable and one part from a discount store)

I thought it'd be fun. But then the other recent swaps popped up, and I dropped it.

we could do a christmas in july swap? Just a thought.

I think Cd/DVD would be difficult because of the region player thing. Not everyone would be able to play their gifts.

I think the local swap is cute too. there's lots of things in FL that are pretty localized....as long as no one expects oranges! lol. I won't send those thru the post!

I'd love to do another swap! I loved everthing in my summer swap!

I think the small swap is a fab idea! Should be something local, some thing edible and something handmade!! And it has to fit in an A5 jiffy bag!! Great idea
