Kelly & I decided it would be fun to host a Christmas swap… but with a difference!!!!
Instead of the usual one on one swap we’ve decided to take our inspiration from the office gift giving favourite - Secret Santa!(Thank you to Happy who has donated this button for our swap - please feel free to add to your blog)
Each blogger who signs up will send and receive a gift but not to/from the same person
For example;
Kelly & I will assign partners based on the responses you give to a series of questions (I will come to those in a moment!)
You will receive an email from us telling you who your partner is, their answers to the questions and an address to send the package to
We hope this swap will allow you to meet a new blogger and due to the secretive nature of the swap spend time delving into their blog & learning more about them so you can put together the perfect gift(s)!
We would like everyone to send their Christmas gifts out by 4th December giving Royal Mail enough time to deliver them to the right door (sooner the better where possible due to pesky strikes!)
Christmas can be an expensive time so we are setting two price points for swappers, £5 or £10 and you will be assigned partners based on this!
The swap is open to international bloggers but you must have a blog to participate to enable your partner to learn more about you from it
Remember – do not divulge who you are sending your gift to we want surprises!!!!
If this sounds fun and you’d like to join in hop over to see Kelly who is hosting the questions we need you to answer to take part!
What terrific idea. I like that you encourage participants to get to know their fellow bloggers better. This should be a smash!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait...
You and Kelly have come up with an awesome idea! What type of things do you send for this type of swap? sorry ive never done a swap before :) I think because im always worried whatever I send the other person wont like, silly i know!

Good luck with hosting this swap. The idea is great, but I have to pass this time. The dutch Santa will give his packages December the 5th and my daughter is having her sweet sixteen on december the 12th, so I'm busy enough without swaps, but I wish I wasn't!
ReplyDeleteWow! Finally your secret has been revealed! Great idea! I'm involved in other many projects, but can't miss this one!I'm off to Kelly's blog now!
