Description:

Inspired by the "Not Another headache/migraine" swaps hosted by @OpheliaQuilts and the fact that I'm still wide awake at 2:00 am, this is a swap for insomnia sufferers to send each other care packages.

Price range should be about $15-$20, not including shipping. Please send at least three items, but you can include more if you like. Please include a letter or at least a note, because misery loves company - and so that we can share our more intangible ideas such as counting sheep and repeating the alphabet backwards. :)

Possible items to include: sleep mask, ear plugs, aromatherapy items, tea, a cd of nature sounds, a cuddly stuffed animal, a soothing pillowcase (satin? flannel?), or a really boring book. ;) Please try to send things that have worked for you in your own personal experience with insomnia, and also check you partner's profile for likes/dislikes and in particular any scents they may be sensitive to.

Handmade items are acceptable if they are of high quality.

Please, no alcohol or medications! ;) (even ibuprofen, etc)

U.S. swappers only due to the high cost to mail such a package, sorry international folks. Must have at least a 4.5 rating.

If you have any questions please send me a message (I won't notice comments below as quickly). Keep in mind that I really am creating this at 2am, so I could easily have missed something obvious! :D

if this swap were international I'd totally send my partner a cd of organic chemistry lectures. if that doesn't make them sleep, nothing will!

is this open to newbies? (i'm asking this at 3am...)

Betsi 04/ 2/2010 #

I'm sorry, but it's not open to newbies due to the high cost of items and shipping. I'll probably host another one of these in a couple of months, and you can try for that round. :)
