Christmas Gift Swap 2014

I can’t believe I’m saying this already, but it’s that time of year again: Time for the Annual Christmas Gift Swap! Hooray!! For those of you who are new around here, let me fill you in with the details of our annual event:

The gift swap is all about making new friends and spreading some Christmas cheer! You will be paired up with someone from somewhere else in the world and charged  with the mission to find a little somethin’-somethin’ to send to your new friend. Kind of like an International Secret Santa trade!  Your gift doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, it’s just a little token to share some festive joy, and hopefully, make someone smile!

If you would like to take part you will be required to send a Christmas card and small gift to a stranger (and potential new BFF) and you will receive one in return. As a lot of you guys are international, we’re going to keep it small – your gift should be small enough to fit in a small to medium sized envelope (for example; an art print, an ornament, small jewellery etc) but feel free to go bigger if you are feeling generous. In your card you might want to include a little about you – where you are from, blog/website (if you have one), what you are doing for the holidays and a Christmas Message.

WIN THIS : A 1 Year Subscription to Kinfolk Magazine

win-kinfolk

Raise you hand if you hate being sick… me too guys, me too. I stayed home from work today because I was feeling crappy. As much as the extra rest is obviously what I need to get better, I always feel so guilty when I’m off sick. Objectively I know it can’t be helped, but a little part of me still feels a little twinge of guilt. So to cheer myself up I’ve decided to host a little giveaway! I feel like it’s been a million years since we’ve done one, and what better way to feel better than to give someone a something nice?

I was torn between so many great magazines, like Anthology, Frankie, Yen, but eventually I settle for what I think is the ‘go-too’ magazine for most people in the blogging community: Kinfolk Magazine. The style, stories and striking photography is second to none. It is one of the few publications I splurge on a regular basis, and I am never disappointed. Are you guys fans as well?

For the giveaway itself, We’re going to keep it simple: choose one (or all!) of the options below, to enter to win a 1 year subscription to Kinfolk Magazine. Please ensure that I can contact you should you win (otherwise how will I know where to send you magazines?) The giveaway will be open until Monday the 30th of June and you can enter as many times as you wish! Good luck!

Christmas Gift Swap

Last year we hosted the first of what I hope will be an annual Christmas Gift Swap here on the blog. Everybody involved told me how much they enjoyed the event so we’re holding it again this year!

The gift swap is all about making new friends spreading some Christmas cheer! Your gift and card doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, feel free to make something yourself or pick up something small from local artists and markets. Just a little gift to give something nice to another person and maybe, just maybe, make a new friend from a faraway land! The internet is obviously an amazing way to meet people from all over the world but there’s something to be said for that feeling you get when you received a package from somewhere exotic!

  • If you would like to take part you will be required to send a Christmas card and small gift to a stranger (and potential new BFF) and you will receive one in return.
  • As a lot of you guys are international, we’re going to keep it small – your gift should be small enough to fit in a small to medium sized envelope (for example; a small piece of art/drawing, stickers, small earrings etc)
  • In your card you might want to include a little about you – where you are from, blog/website if you have one, what you are doing for the holidays and a Christmas Message.
  • Fill in the form below to participate; I need your full name, mailing address, email and preference for local or international swaps. Once everyone is signed up you will be matched and I will email you with the person that you’ll be swapping gifts with.

I hope you all decide to take part, but before you do, here are some important things you should know:

  • You must sign up by the 22nd November 2013
  • I will send the details of your gift recipient by 24th November 2013
  • Your Card/Gift will need to be mailed by the 13th December at the latest – Please remember to allow for international postage times if applicable.
  • You can expect to spend around $10 - $20 on your card and gift (unless you crafty kids opt for a homemade option) Plus potentially postage costs.
  • I will attempt to match you up according to your preferences, but gift destinations will entirely depend on participants so there are no guarantees as to where you will be posting too.
  • All Contact details will only be provided to your swap partner. I will you’re your details private and of course will not use them nefariously (I hate spam as much as you do!)
  • I understand that sometimes things go wrong, so if for any reason you cannot send your card/gift, please let me know immediately! We don’t want anyone to miss out.
  • This swap is open to international readers so tell your friends - no matter where they might be!

I will share some gift and card ideas over the coming weeks to give you some inspiration. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment or drop me a quick email.
