Hey everyone!  Hope yall are as excited about this as I am! I know people normally post in the beginning of the thread so that they'll get updates on it, so to get things started and to help get to know each other, let's all pitch in some ideas of possible items to make or send.

Things I had thought of are slippers, eye masks, and towel/washcloth sets, candles. I know there are more options, especially in the bath and body range, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. What other suggestions do you have?

Hopefully this will widen everyone's range of ideas on what they can make or request!

i am just stopping by to say i have to miss this round i am too low on supplies unfortunately, and stocking up is rather expensive, money i simply need for other things at the moment...i really hope we do this again though, because its incredibly cool...

if anything changes between now, and the end of the month, i am on this bandwagon for sure...(hubby works on commissions, so you never know where our money will land)

[lindsoriah]

Dont worry guys, I definitely understand and you are certainly not the only ones.  I hope you both end up being able to join, but if not maybe you can watch and see if you'd like to personal swap with anyone later

I'd rather people think realistically about it than sign up and have to back out. Hopefully I don't end up swapping with myself, but if I do I'll still post a gallery

This sounds like so much fun...I've already made a tentative list of things I could make, adjustable to my partners likes of course.    I'll be sending in my question thingie later today.

Hi,
Just checking on the requirements....
is it 1 of those 3 choices?
-one large + one small
OR
-two mediums
OR
-several (4?) smalls

(don't want to get in over my head, & I'm sure I cannot make all of the above,
but I could do one of the choices!)
Thanks for clarifying~

HI Lindsoriah

I was thinking bathrobes, they could be made from scratch or just decorated.
Hanging toiletry baskets. 
Just some ideas.

[lindsoriah]

Kayrun-- It is ONE of those choices.  I'll go back and edit it to be more clear, thanks for asking.  That would be quite the commitment for sure!

[kayrun]

Thanks again for revising the signup post....
I just sent you my info!
Looking fwd to this one - - hopefully some more will be interested
before the end of the month!

[lindsoriah]

Other thoughts I have had:

-hand/foot care kit; manicure things
-anything aromatherapy
-slippers/socks
-scrubbies/loofahs
