Description:

For this swap you will buy your partner 26 bars of chocolate or candy.

The catch is, each chocolate or candy must start with a different letter of the alphabet.

One chocolate/candy for each letter.

The letter can be the name of the chocolate or the brand name.

Example: F for Freddo, S for Skittles, A for Allens.

Please include a list which tells your partner what chocolate/candy is for what letter.

If you get really stuck, you can be creative, such as x-tra chewing gum for the letter x.

As this is not profile based, you can start collecting your items now.

You must have a Rating 4.8 or more to join.

If I recieve any complaints about you from other swappers, I will ban you.

On my watchlist as I hope that my 5.0 will be restored soon.

MrsRankin 12/30/2008 #

If you are going to use my swap idea and description, you should have the decency to ask me first.

Muriel 12/30/2008 #

MrsRankin- this is not you original idea. I have taken part in a swap like this before and you were certinly not the host!

jcm716 01/ 3/2009 #

This is so cool. I have this on my watchlist and will add soon as I am at my 20 limit. I am glad it is international curious to see candy from other countries, like Freddo and Allens, I never heard of them!

redsockz 01/ 6/2009 #

Woohoo! I have already started collecting candy bars. I do have a question. Do all the bars need to be full sized? I am fine with that...I have noticed that a few of the items I would like to send are only sold in singles (one bites). Thanks !

Nicc79 01/ 6/2009 #

Redsockz: Full Size would be could but then i was thinking what if you can't buy that one u wanna send for that letter in the bigger size. So just don't make then all small. A couple would be fine. :)

Nicc79 01/ 6/2009 #

Oh GUYS, I really Don't want ANY flakers on this swap Because i won't be able to afford to Angel Them! SO if you are joing up which is GREAT Just remember You have to send this package oversea and it may cost you a fair bit.

Nicc79 01/ 6/2009 #

Again Just wanted to say I can't Angel this swap.

Muriel 01/ 7/2009 #

Nore should you have to!

Agnetha 01/13/2009 #

I know it's not a profile one...but please don't send me anything with pieces of nuts in them...it would be a shame that you spend money on something that I would have to throw away.

redsockz 01/14/2009 #

I can't wait for this to start....I have all the bars! (some have nuts!)

notme78 01/18/2009 #

Hope you can host this swap again sometime in the future :) Since i can't join this one right now.

CherryBlossom 01/19/2009 #

minnie12 01/20/2009 #

i cant wait for this yay...i have been buying the candy already!! This is a hard one to buy things for someones preference, especially since already started buying the bars...there are some things i dont like, but its ok..i just cant wait to see the different candies :)

minnie12 01/22/2009 #

mixedmediachic 01/28/2009 #

OMG!! this is just a FANTASTIC swap!! Currently I am arguing with myself about the decision to join or not .... I'll be back after I go to school and then will see what i have decided ... but OMG!!!

donnasaurus1 01/29/2009 #

What can i do for Z - I am in the uk?

Nicc79 01/29/2009 #

Minnie12: Candy is fine :)

Muriel 01/30/2009 #

Z I have no problem with I'm stuck on U 8)

redsockz 01/30/2009 #

I am all done and can hardly wait for this swap to start. If there is anything I can't (or won't) eat, I will just give it away to my hubby or a colleage. I hope we see some pictures of the packages. :)

donnasaurus1 01/30/2009 #

Think i have all letters covered now :) can't wait to get my partner :)

ozrob 01/31/2009 #

in my profile I mention that I don't like lollipops or bubble gum.....I'm happy to make the exception for this swap though for a minimum amount :o)

ChelelosGirl 01/31/2009 #

We have a candy bar here called Zero, I'm having trouble with the Y - any suggestions from my fellow american swappers? lol

misnatalie 02/ 3/2009 #

You could look for a bar called yorkie also i found Yo-Yo Sweet Spin Bubble Gum

ChelelosGirl 02/ 3/2009 #

ooh, or a York Peppermint pattie, right? I'm so slow sometimes :-))), didn't think about that til I read your tips! - so after picking that one up I will be done!

crazyda79 02/ 7/2009 #

I am missing four letters so far but I got the rest in just one shopping trip! I have one of the missing letters in mind, just have to find a store that carries it. The other ones I am still stuck on!

ozrob 02/13/2009 #

I'm stuck on Q and U !!

LaurenRhodes 02/15/2009 #

Mine went in the post last week, I got all but 4 so I sent a box of roses in there place it was much harder then I first thought. (There an assortment of yummy choc's every one loves then in oz) I can't wait to see what I get.

Muriel 02/16/2009 #

Got mine from LaurenRhodes today 8)

debbiesw 02/16/2009 #

Done , that was some feat and its harder than you think, people must have thought i was a complete nut, walking around the shopping with my list of just the few letters i needed, anyway i finished today and hope to post out wednesday and this box weighs an absolute ton.

ChelelosGirl 02/20/2009 #

I know what you mean, I didn't think it would be so hard either - I got stuck on Q and U too - in the end I got lucky on one and "cheated" on the other, lol, but won't say what I sent in case my partner reads :-)

ChelelosGirl 02/20/2009 #

oh I missed that debbiesw, you are right! That cost more to send than it did to buy the candy - like $20 postage, :-) - gonna have to cut back on these big swaps for a while til my hubby forgets about this one heehee

Muriel 02/22/2009 #

It might be cheaper to send two packages instead of one big. I'm stuck on a few letters but luckily I have three extra letters in the swedish alphabet 8)

ozrob 02/23/2009 #

sent mine today!! I managed to get in just under 1kg to save on postage.....was still $26.45. I cheated on the 'U' one, the item has a 'u' in the name :o) I hope my partner likes it all :o)

ChelelosGirl 02/25/2009 #

My partner received the package already so I can say I cheated on the U also - I sent a Valentine's box that said "You" on it - lol - I imagine it'd be cheaper to send altogether, since the candy weighs the same no matter how you divide it, you'd just be paying extra for the weight of another box

sonyaoku 02/27/2009 #

I second that, I've had to return home a few times cos the package was too heavy and I didnt have enough to pay for it. I got stuck on U & Q as well but sorted now and has been shipped. I dont think I will be doing big swaps either. I lost my job due to the economic situation so I'll have to cut back which is a shame really :(

jcm716 02/28/2009 #

I hope that I do not get flaked on this swap as I spent quite a deal on it as well. Over 26.00 for the candy and shipping as it was heavy to my partner in the UK was 39.50. So hopefully we will all get ours

minnie12 02/28/2009 #

yes!!! i agree!!! Mine for shipping is 53$$ to Australia!! hope she likes

ozrob 03/ 5/2009 #

I just received the HUGE box full of candy and other goodies from minnie12. It's amazing!! I'm going to show my family and friends before I start taste testing!
