Beltane/May Day Survival Kit

This is a tongue-in-cheek swap to commemorate and celebrate the joy and revelry of Beltaine.

Make a "kit" to help our fellow-swappers better enjoy Beltaine. This is like an Lucky Parcel in that the container you put it in should have a Beltaine theme as well. Maybe a wicker basket, a cloth bag with rainbow print, a deco box or an old lunch box you modify to look like a real "survival kit"

Fill the receptacle with great items to help celebrate May Day

Here are some suggestions:

Waterproof matches to help start the need fire

A basket to collect the May flowers

A pretty jar to collect the magickal May dew

Lip Balm for all those gift-kisses

Mints also for the above :-)

Red and white ribbons for the Maypole

Small perfume or oil for the Dance

Directions on how to Maypole or Spiral dance

Massage oil for that Greenwood Husband ;-)

Wind Chimes

Mulling Spices or a Mead recipe

A Lei necklace or cowrie shells

Sachets

BPAL sample scents

Please use your imagination and remember: Have Fun... this holiday is all about love, joy, and the beginning of the warmth. So, if getting potentially sexual items will upset or offend you, maybe don't join this swap. Spending minimum of $10.00 before shipping. This IS international, so take that into consideration when selecting items.

• This is non-partner specific, so you could begin creating/selecting/buying/altering items immediately... but when you sign up, please put any allergies and/or requests for things you'd RATHER NOT receive below. Partners: Please take these comments into account. If someone is allergic to lavender & you make & send them lavender soap, they have the right & RESPONSIBILITY to rate you a 3. Remember that please!

New Member rant: IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW MEMBER---STOP READING. THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR NEW MEMBERS:

I'm not kidding around with this. If you have joined this group AFTER 7/02/10 I have left you a message in the comments section of your profile. It either says to familiarize yourself with the New Member rules or it says you have unrestricted access. If it says the first thing, you MAY NOT join this swap without fulfilling the guidelines: 3 Crafty Witches swaps successfully completed OR 20 non Crafty Witches swaps completed (With 20 approriate ratingS)

If you DO NOT follow the guidelines it will make me very upset & concerned that if you can't follow simple guidelines, then you may have trouble completing swaps on time & sending them out. Basically, LISTEN to what is put across to new swappers on this Group. I will BAN you if you join this swap & haven't completed the appropriate requirements. Period. End of rant.
