Favorite Things Swap

Since the favorite Things Swap was the overwhelming favorite, I guess that is what we will do for my 1st official blog swap! Exciting, right?!

How this is going to Work

Be signing up, you are agreeing to:

• Put together a great package for your swap buddy
• Communicate with me and your buddy
• Keep the contents of the package around $30 excluding shipping
• Send your packages out on time
• Grab my swap button, blog about this swap, and link it up to the Mr. Linky


Swap buddies will be chosen at random, so you may not be swapping with the person you receive. I want to do it this way so that you have an opportunity to meet more people.

I will only participate if we have an uneven amount of participants!

Sign Up Start: March 25th, 2009

Buddies Assigned: April 6th, 2009

Send out Date: April 27th, 2009

Note: To Link a specific post, go to your blog, click on the title of that post, and copy that URL.

After you link up to the Mr. Linky, you will need to send an email to me @ countrygirlcitylife@live.com. Please include the following information in that email:

• Blog Name and Url
• Real Name and Address
• Allergies
• If you are willing to ship to Canada or Internationally

Please keep in mind with this that you should be sending a package that you would like to receive. Be thoughtful and creative!

Items can be homemade or store bought, but please nothing used. Again, just keep your buddy and their situation in mind. Basically, if you swap partner has no children, please do not send your favorite baby product.

When you receive your package, please be sure to take photos and create a post! We will all meet back here and link up so all the participants can see what you received!

Need Ideas?

Here are some ideas from the other swaps that I have participated in. The list is limitless to what you can send, but here are some ideas to get you started:

• Books/Magazines
• Make Up Products
• Candles
• Candy/Snacks
• Kitchen Supplies
• Cleaning Product
• Stationary/Cards
• Scrapbook Supplies
• CDs/DVDs
• Jewelry
• Baby Products
• Mani/Pedi Supplies
• Gift Cards

You may or may not wrap your gifts. A pretty presentation is always good. Be creative, and have fun. My goal is for everyone to give and get a great package!!!

If you have any questions, please let me know!!
