***PLEASE READ, SOME COOL CHANGES FOR THE DEC/CHRISTMAS SWAP***
I thought we would keep with last years Secret Santa theme. We will be focusing more on each other and less on Babies. That's not to say that you cannot include stuff for babies... ALSO, you should include at least one HANDMADE item. This can be anything... Come on ladies, you are all so creative I know that you can come up with something! I am attaching a few pictures and pinterest is a GREAT source of idea!
If you have any questions at all please let me know!!!
General Round Robin Swap Rules:
1. Sign ups for any given month will be limited to at least 10 days. If you miss out on one month, you'll have to wait for the next month to participate.
2. You must sign up for each month you choose to participate, including filling the questions form again.
3. Gifts must be mailed out in time for your recipient to receive the gift as close to the middle of the following month as possible. Please use your discretion when mailing internationally since it generally does take longer.
4. Each month will have a theme but you are not restricted to using the theme. This is strictly a matter of choice.
5. Gifts must be no less in value than $30 and no more than $50. This would be retail cost if you make homemade items.
6. Gifts should be for your partner (it's OK to include gifts for reborns too but focus should be on your partner.)
7. Do not contact your recipient directly to ask any questions. If you need to know something that wasn't answered on the question sheet, please contact the hostess or SharonR and we'll will get back to you with the answer.
8. Protect yourself when you mail out your package. Use certificate of mailing, delivery confirmation or certified mail(some way to prove you've mailed your package) when you send your package in case questions arise.
9. Pictures aren't always feasible for some people, but posting a public thank you to your giver is a must.
10. This swap is open to reborners and collectors alike.
11. Items must be new including handmade items unless requested by recipient. (i.e. vintage bottle, etc)
*** You must be age 18 or over to participate. Sorry, but its the law.
