bright and happy swap!!

I don't know about you, but this time of the year I am in serious need of some bright and happy things around me! Yummy candles burning, cute pillows tossed on my bed, bright accessories worn, and so on! So I thought I would host a fun swap so we can all get a few new bright and happy things for ourselves! This will be a simple little swap, nothing too major.

You must send a happy candle in a scent that your partner enjoys, one or two cute pieces of jewelry that are bright and in a color your partner likes, and then toss in a few other bright and happy things that you know someone would LOVE... a yummy snack, a cute set of stationary, beautiful soaps, etc! Add in some special things that will bring happiness to anyone's day! These things are meant to be personal items- get to know your partner, their hobbies, their likes and dislikes and send things someone can enjoy on a bleak day when they need something bright to cheer them up!! :) Only bright and fun colors allowed, hehe! Make this swap enjoyable- it is so much fun to send a happy box to someone and then get one in return.

On to signups! If you would like to sign up to send a happy box, email me at hollyndevlin@gmail.com with the following questions filled out. I'll email you back a confirmation that I received your info- if you don't hear from me, it means I didn't get your questionnaire, so email me again! I will have signups open until March 27th, so get those emails in! Share the button, post a blog about it, and let's spread some bright and happy cheer at this cloudy and dull time of year!! :)

Please only sign up if you are serious about sending a GREAT box- something your partner will truly enjoy, all wrapped up cute and something that you put time into making nice. Don't just toss things in a box- take the time to make it special :) All of the participants names will go on my blog sidebar, updated with when you send your swap boxes, so no flakers!!! Thanks and can't wait to swap again!! xo!

What a sweet idea! I am not participating this time for fear of my own flakiness. And also because I did a similar thing once before and got like hard plastic hair clips, ugly as sin dishtowels, and some other weird crap - all from the dollar store.

Come on, I sometimes grab things from a dollar store, but not these things - and never as a gift to some unsuspecting fool.

So, in order not to either:
1. flake out
or
2. Make everyone who isn't my recipient super-uber-jealous
I'm just saying hi from another SITS girl!
