The Holiday Swaps are coming up!

[SourdoughStomper]

It's possible there will be a few more themes than just these, but I'll stick with the annual basics this time.

Since I'm not able to spend much money this year, I'll probably join the art swap. Those are usually inexpensive since you create your gift with just a few materials. Light to ship, too. Maybe I'll get hubby to see how fantastic it would be for me to join the card swap, however. Since my feet are perpetually cold, maybe the sock swap would be ideal!

And despite what you think, we don't swap children! Maybe that has its appeal thinking I could swap my strong willed "Susie" for your nice and quiet "Billy," but the shipping would be expensive! It's actually about swapping on behalf of your children. They receive presents on their wishlists from the children of other Arena members.

So then, it's your turn. What appeals to you?

The Card Swap is fun! It's usually the only christmas cards I get... I would do the art swap but I'm horrible with deadlines so I'm thinking the Pony Swap and Sock Swap maybe - never joined this one but winters in MI are cold...

what is the sock swap? it sounds intresting.. lol do w just swap socks?  i'll proably do the card one.   herres an idea for a swap. what about one  just specificaly for our  pets or  fur babys?  you design a list of things  they like and what breed it is.  wehter its a cat or a dog and  you  build htem a box? i  know that my dogs love getting christmas presents. and they open the wrapping paper themselves!

I don't have any children to swap.   Maybe the teachers could do a student swap?

Hmm I went for the cards and socks. I'd love to find some cool socks. I was curious with the pony swap is the spending min usually pretty big because of Christmas or lower because everyone is broke? 

[SourdoughStomper]

Yes, I do believe there's been talk about a pet toy swap.

Sock swap is pretty much what it sounds like - swap socks. They can be fancy socks, furry socks, colorful socks, toe socks, practical socks, fun socks, upside-down-inside-out socks. Well, I guess  made up that last one. I'd sure want thick winter socks because I hate having cold feet.

Maddie, I think there's a $10 pony swap and a $30 pony swap. Not including the shipping and all that - just the value of the ponies.

I picked sock swap and custom swap. Sock swap because I never joined it and we have tons of fancy stuff here! (I have a pair of christmas socks with a green tinsel tree on) Custom swap because my last custom was winter based and I'd love to make another winter themed pony!

That's if I don't miss the join in dates of course ...

[NovelNerd]

For the record I would totally join a pet toy swap.

That's awesome SDS I'll have to stalk around when the time comes and some of my swap slots are open.

Can we do an ornament swap?  It think that would be one I would love as you could include pony ornaments and other ornaments!?

[kakenterprise]

I love socks how cool would that be!!!

Ooh, that's a great idea! I might be interested in a holiday swap after I've recovered from the Wish List swap and will probably participate whatever we do, be it a regular pony swap or something holiday related! Sock swap would be nice too... I love a really nice cozy pair of socks.

There's a possibility for an ornament/decoration swap too.
