Hi Nina,
You can find the official "rules" for the Secret Pal Swap at the beginning of one of the threads. There is a $20 minimum for the items in the package (excluding stash items and postage). You get some information about what your Pal is looking for and what they want or don't want.
It's very fun doing a little shopping for them and digging around in your stash to see if you have something they might love.
Some people send more than the $20 minimum. Some will make a little handmade item to go along with the package. And if you get something that you can't use, I don't think it hurts any of our feelings if you pass it along to someone else you think might like it...
I will tell you I've never been disappointed in any package I've gotten. It's always fun to see the box on my doorstep.
Hope you decide to join!
Michelle
