This is a $5 PROFILE SURPRISE swap with a big twist

I'm a HUGE advocate and supporter for small business and "work from home" individuals, seeing as I'm one myself :) It wasn't that long ago that I joined the Etsy community and I still remember the excitement of opening my own shop and waiting for my very first SALE!!

So for this swap you will PURCHASE a gift or gifts worth $5 or more BEFORE shipping costs using Etsy's "pounce" feature; which is a way to browse new stores that are still waiting for their very first sale.

SWAP DETAILS

-you will have 1 partner to whom you must send a $5 gift based on their profile.

-you MUST purchase it off of Etsy using the POUNCE feature OR if you browse on your own, your purchase must be the FIRST SALE for that store, no exceptions!! Make sure to communicate with the seller that there is a deadline for send-out and that is going to a DIFFERENT ADDRESS then yours!

-the POUNCE feature can be found on Etsy's homepage, down the left hand side under "ways to shop".

-if you have an Etsy store yourself that is waiting for it's first sale, you may NOT purchase from your own store, it must be someone elses.

-This is NOT a de-stash, send something from your personal collection, make it yourself or grab it from a local store type swap. The whole point of this swap is to support a new Etsy business by being it's first sale and making it a GREAT transaction for them!

PARTICIPANTS

-you must have a rating of 4.85 or higher with no un-explained 1's or 3's in the last 4 months and AT LEAST 15 ratings for package (type 3) swaps.

-if you flake (don't send out) you will not be welcome in any of my future swaps.
