December Secret Pal - sign-ups close November 30 at midnight. Come join the fun!
This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can
choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner each month, and the person you send to will may be different than the person you receive from. Failure to send your package after signing up will be cause to be banned from all future swaps. Please do not sign up if you cannot fulfill your obligation. Have fun and be creative!
After receiving your Secret Pal’s details, go to work and put together a package with something you think your pal would like. There is a $15.00 limit on this swap that does not include what you have in your stash. (This does not include shipping) Most swappers do not mind like-new stash items. You will need to send me (hav4boys) a PM when mailing and receiving. This way I can keep my records straight. Also send a PM to your SP thanking them and leave feedback.
Please take pictures and post in group as everyone likes to see what you get.
Packages need to be mailed out by December 18th, this is a Firm deadline. All International mailings must be mailed by December 10th Firm. If you know that you cannot mail by that date, Please Do Not Sign Up.
For international mailing it is very important that you mark your parcel as a 'Gift' on the Customs Declaration (there's a box you can check). Also, the value should be $10 only (even if you send diamond necklace). The person receiving the package is liable for Import Duty, Tax and a Handling fee. This can cost the person receiving as much as $40.
Padded envelopes are much cheaper to send compared to small boxes. These can be ordered free of charge from the USPS website.
You must have a phone # or email to sign up

Just so everyone knows, I will be getting names out on Monday December 2nd. My mom is having surgery tomorrow and I have a week of time with my mom. I will be back at the swap on Monday. Thanks for understanding.
