Description:

There are already some strange mail swaps out there, so I couldn't call this by the same name, besides it is different and extremely easy! All you have to do, is go to your local dollar store, or thrift store find something sturdy enough to go through the mail, and also have an address label on it, and stick it in the mail for your partner. Nothing more than that! I only ask that you be creative, and send something fun. It does not have to be decorated or useful in anyway, it is just meant to make your partner smile to find something weird and unusual in their mail box. Nothing against International participants,but I am only making this only for USA participants because of possible mail limitations overseas. I don't know the laws, and don't want anyone to have any trouble. I'll give an example of what I sent once. A styrofoam mini "surf" board from the local dollar store. I stamped all over it, and my daughter put ribbons hanging from the bottom. But, you don't have to do anything but put on an address label and pop it in the mail! Just don't send a paper plate, I got one in return for what I sent, and it was a bit disappointing! Let's have fun with this. You will have 1 partner, and send 1 item. How more easy can that be? I hope i get a lot of takers for this, if not, I'll just delete the swap....So come on and join the fun!

Should we be getting our partners for this swap soon?

user3007 02/23/2007 #

When are we getting our partners? I would like to get it mailed soon.

Remeber all, do NOT send your item in a box! that is the object of this swap, to send unusual things right thru the mail. I'd suggest that you cover your addresses with packing tape if possible, so they don't come off. I was going to send a dish towel once, but was not sure how.. now I do...roll it up, put the address labels on and cover it with packing tape! susi

I mailed my item today. My postmaster was having fun with it. *grin

Susi 02/27/2007 #

I have my item, yet I don't know if I should mail it or not.. it's unusual, and it really fits my partners interests... and I already have it...I guess I will go ahead and send it. It has a swear word on it though, I hope my partner won't be offended!

user3007 03/ 3/2007 #

Susi, did you receive the item that I sent you?

user3007 03/ 3/2007 #

I meant Sue, sorry....did you receive my item yet?

Susi - I am new to swapbot so please forgive me for being slow. I just found out today that you can continue to leave comments after the swap is closed. DUH!!

I got your message before and now see your comment. I am not easily offended. I hope that my post-person is not either.

I look forward to getting something odd in my mailslot.

Hi everyone. I still haven't rec'd mine and just wanted to know if my partner sent it out yet? thank you

Jennifer,

your item was sent within a few days after partners were assigned... Have you received it yet?

I too have not received one yet but send date isn't until 3-15 so we still have plenty of time to keep checking our boxes... :-) I am soo excited I can't wait to see what is sent to me...
