"My favourite animals" Swap - all done!

[Honeycomb]

July 1st: Partners have been sent! 

Let's start the sign-ups!
 
Welcome to the 1^st My Favourite Animal Swap!

This is a swap about our favourite animal(s). It is based on likes/ dislikes, not on wish lists.
We name our favourite animal(s), and the things we would like to receive about them, i.e. what we already collect or want to start to collect, and also more than 15 USD. Shipping costs are NOT included in this amount. You should ship registered, and you must provide a proof of shipping as soon as your box has left your hands.
It is a MUST to brag about your received box, nothing is more disappointing for a partner than knowing that the other partner has received the box but doesn’t care enough to brag. So if you don’t brag, appropriate feedback will be left. 

Rules
-          The budget for the items in the box is 15 USD (shipping is EXTRA)
-          You must have been an active member for 6 months
-          You must have participated in and completed at least one other swap
-          You must provide some seller feedback (ebay is ok too)
-          You must ship registered
-          The box must include a note from you for your partner
-          Don’t spoil the surprise by contacting your partner beforehand

Deadlines
-          Sign up: until June 30
-          Assigning of partners: until July 2
-          Shopping time: July and August
-          Shipping deadline: August 31

Ideas for the box:
animal figurines, for example Schleich figures (pricy!), toys, plush toys, cloth items (specify your size please), jigsaw puzzles, books, colouring books, comics, stickers, stationery, jewelry, trinkets, cups, …..  Be creative!
Candy can be included but is not a must (this means it is not included in the 15 USD amount). I say this because last time I wanted to ship something to eat from here to Germany the post office staff told me that some countries don’t allow this anymore. So don’t be disappointed if there won’t be candy coming from China.

Please post anything relevant for your partner in this thread - try to edit one post and don’t make multiple post with your information, it gets too confusing.

Please send me a PM with the following information:

-          arena name
-          real name
-          address, telephone number
-          email address
-          are you willing to ship internationally?
-          link to sellers feedback
-          link to a previous swap that was completed satisfactorily

-----------------------------------
I got this idea while shopping for my current book swap.
I know we all have favourite animals, and some of us do also collect trinkets of these animals. I think it would be lots of fun to host a swap including only presents and things related to this or these animals.
What do you think?
We could include figurines, toys, plush toys, cups, all kinds of trinkets, jewelry, maybe clothes, small books, whatever you can think of and whatever their partner specifies he or she collects.
Anyone interested?
Raises hand! I am! 

[A-lure]

ME!! I think that'd be super funnnn. And nice. ^^

[Eternia]

my goodness yes! I really wanted to do the book swap, but it's too close to the fair. If you want to host this, could you do it after the fair? pleeeease?

[Saja]

Sounds like a great Idea!

[Honeycomb]

Cool! When is the fair again? I will definitely let some time pass.
But we can collect some ideas already ...

[kaninchen]

i so love this idea, but understand of ther would be membership restrictions.

[kaoskat]

Sounds like fun! I might be interested depending on timing.

[bagheera86]

yes, i'm for it

[MonstarNomNom]

Oh my gosh I would love this! I need more sheepies! ;D I am totally interested :3

[DazzleKitty]

This is a really great idea. I'd love a box full of dolphin or doggy stuff. But I am sadly going to have to opt out of this one. I don't have the funds right now. Just finished up two pricey swaps. But I give you props for a very fun idea!

[stopxmotion]

Sounds fun, I'd probably join if it doesn't start too quickly.

Also this:

I need more sheepies!

[Koudoawaia]

It sounds like fun but these swaps are usually too expensive and it'd probably be too hard for my partner to find enough guinea pig stuff anyway. =/

[MonstarNomNom]

It doesn't have to get too expensive. I've noticed in swaps sometimes there are different groups with different price limits? Maybe this swap could have the same? Like maybe $15, $25, $40, etc? Maybe there could be a poll to see what limit most people would be comfortable with?

Koudouwaia: On the contrary I see lots of cute guinea pig stuff

[Talismarr]

This sounds pretty interesting!! I might have to mull it over for a bit, I maybe not be able to afford it either

[Kiwi]

Sounds like a neat idea
