Description:

Let's start the new year with a Writer's Scavenger Hunt swap.

The list below has 25 items on it. You will need to send your partner a minimum of 10 items. Include a note saying which items you've selected and why.

Items should be new, but books and magazines can be gently used. Mix it up, have some fun and let's see what we can scavenge! Shop those holiday sales. Mine your partner's profile for preferences. Put your creative hat on to interpret some of the items.

The master list:

  • a book about writing

  • a packet of four or more articles about writing or writers

  • a paperweight for a desk

  • a pen or other writing instrument

  • a book by your favorite author

  • a book by your partner's favorite author

  • something to sip or nibble on while reading or writing

  • a reference book or guide (i.e. dictionary, thesaurus, market guide, etc.)

  • a writing magazine

  • a bookmark

  • office supplies

  • a journal

  • a profile surprise

  • a writer's mascot

  • a bit of wisdom (sender's choice on interpretation)

  • a valid gift card to a bookstore, coffee shop or other retailer

  • a game about words, writing or creativity

  • a toy that a writer would appreciate

  • a flash drive or other technology item (sender's choice on interpretation)

  • writer's wearable gear (sender's interpretation)

  • a how-to guide

  • a super, fabulous gift that will make your partner weep for joy

  • something humorous

  • a calendar, date book or day book

  • that thing you can't believe I left off the list of 25

Recap: Send your partner a minimum of 10 items from the list and a note explaining what you selected and why.

International. Snail mail. Group membership.

Can the books be used copies? Gently used, of course. I have a great independent used bookstore around the corner that I would love to support.

Yes. That's fine, wandofhawthorn.

I put gently used, because I just didn't want someone sending a book or magazine that had coffee stains or had been dropped in the tub, etc. LOL.

yes, reading a book that has been dropped in the tub is a bit difficult :)

Hahaha. Y'all are funny! I'm excited about this swap. I'll be joining as soon as I get to the post office to mail out some current swaps (Thursday!). :)

I had a request that the mail by date be pushed out a bit to give folks some breathing room after the holiday season. So it's moved forward by two weeks. The upshot is you can shop those New Year sales!

Partners have been assigned! Let's get swapping!

All. So sorry. Had to move send by date back. I am out of town.

A package is en route to my partner via Parcel post with delivery confirmation.
