2. Please create a parcel that you would like to receive. Do some research on your partner. Good communication is really important to keep everyone informed and happy. Please discuss with your partner to determine level of effort: swap guidelines here are for 4 small items. You can do more than this if you *both* agree to do so.

6. PM your partner and I when you send. PM your partner and I when you receive, and thank your partner. Keeping good communication means with myself and xamy not only with your partner.
7. Post a thank you and pictures/description in the gallery within a reasonable time afterwards.

DETAILS OF SWAP
This is the Holiday Cheer Swap! This will be a fun, short, low-stress swap. You will send 4 small items to your partner, one item in each of the following categories:
1. A small, wrapped present for your partner to open on the day starting their Holiday. (Christmas, Hanukah, etc)
2. A small Christmas ornament/decoration for your partner, this can be for a tree, the wall, to put on a stand, anything.
3. A small item for your partner to give to someone else (this could be a specific item for someone, or something generic like cards, gift tags, etc.)
4. Something your partner could use for a "random act of kindness", in keeping with the spirit of the holidays. This could be cookies, a hat or scarf to give to a needy person etc.
Items are small however can be larger if decided between yourself and your partner.
