Secret Sweet and Savoury Swap! SIGN UPS OPEN 5 MORE DAYS!

Post by Love Bunny » Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:24 pm

Hello :)

I am doing an international secret sweet/savoury swap running over christmas being as there is tonnes of offers on !

:D Idea is that you pick sweet or savoury treats, or a mix of both! Surveys will be sent to partners in a secret circle so you know who you are sending to but not who you are recieving from (optional but makes it more fun!)

£15 minimum including postage, you CAN go higher if you are feeling generous but don't expect your partner to. So whatever you can cram into that really :P obviously the cheaper you can get stuff the more you'll be able to send = the happier your swap partner!

If you really don't want to send/recieve from abroad I will see what I can do but it all depends on numbers and how the circle is set out.

I will leave this open until November the 30th for sign up's and get everything sent by mid January 2011. Survey questionnaires will be sent out beginning of December :D

I prolly sound like a real cheap a**, but wouldn't it be better to plan shipping after the holidays? I like to wait until right after halloween/christmas and get all my goodies seriously discounted..... :oops:
Plus you don't have to deal with holiday rushes.

Id love to do this.. im just worried about sending stuff near christmas, they're really busy so maybe more chance of stuff getting lost?
Would it be better to wait till after christmas to send stuff?? Late presents all round! hehe

Just a wee word of warning - last time we did a sweet swap the limit was £10 worth and many people spent up to £15 on postage because £10 worth of treats is pretty heavy to send across the pond :shock:

Well, I was thinking prehaps we could do international as a one off thing? I mean I would LOVE to get some stuff from abroad so I'd be willing to pay a bit more iykwim?? I would do the circle(s) in a fashion so that everyone was posting/recieving from abroad and if not then to the same place so nobody paid more/less than their swap partner?

IDK, we have a while to figure out a plan so suggestions welcome :)

I'll put your name on the list Glamour Trash while we think of something :) I'm sure it will all work out in the end ^_^ !

I'd like to join in, I loved what I got last time: I need moar gummy lifesavers!. I think as long as everyone is aware that if they buy heavier items then postage may increase drastically it should be ok.
