Oh, so pretty Mkia9! Love the colour co-ordination. And so well wrapped, also. There's not jealousy in my posts when seeing everyone's neatly wrapped parcels.

Haha but you only see the front xD and it's strategically placed so you don't see the bad parts of the wrapping. I promise I am no professional wrapper xD haha

Gorgeous teasers everyone! I am so excited now.

Where is everybody getting the cool wrapping paper? I checed out the party section at walmart looing for stuff for the sticker swap and the pony party items - of which both were an epic FAIL. None of the wrapping paper appealed to me either. All I have is either X mas Spongebob squarepants paper or swirly pink hippie flower tissue paper

And I scored the vintage items for my $25 partner so they are done. Need to figure out what to do for the $40, although I am pretty sure I now what I want IF I can find it

I can't wait to see what's under the wrapping paper. I need to start wrapping things.

Tiki I found mine at Walgreens and Family Dollar.

Family dollar? We got one in town and a Rite Aid Pharmacy. They might have something

Ughhhh I hate when people are clearly over charging for shipping Dx. I really wanna buy this item for my partner...but the shipping is crazy.

You know, the last time I saw a BIN book I really wanted on ebay, the shipping price was $15 for Expediated Shipping. I thought to myself, "That's crazy to pay for one book!" and then I thought "Well maybe they'd be willing to ship it cheaper if I ask nicely..." So I asked them if they would ship it regular mail, and they agreed and took the shipping down to $3.50!

The moral of this story: It never hurts to ask! ^_^

Good point. I did get an item for my partner from a seller who didn't ship to outside of the US but made an exception because I asked nicely. I'm in the sticker swap and the shipping is crazy just for 1 sheet, like $8, but maybe if I ask they'll ship cheaper.

Good luck Ember! I have heard some horror stories trying to deal with people on ebay, but luckily for myself I've only encountered nice people... so far. >.>

Finally caught up to all 112 pages! haha! I hope this counts as my official 'check in' tiki. And I think this was sooo much fun, I'll definitely join in the next one, whether it be Christmas in July or Merry Unbirthday!

I LOVE the teasers posted so far! I can't believe people are so good at wrapping lol. When I post mine, you will all get to see the horrors of someone who cannot for the life of them wrap anything nicely.

;

Some questions that have been asked lately:

-blind bags: opened please
-rehaired/marked up pony: I usually only try to collect mint MLP's, so you could save that one for another person
-Easter Items: I don't have much use for them...unless it's candy >.>
-Easter Candy: YES!
-Wrapping: I'd be happy with anything lol. It's all going to be opened and thrown in the recycling bin anyway!
-Baked items: I do love food... ^_^
-Homemade Dog Biscuits: No dog lol

Emberfly, same thing happened to me! I bought an item without checking, and it said they didn't ship outside the US, but I asked nicely and they made an exception! This happened another time on etsy, the lady said she didn't ship to Canada because some people complained about the timeframe. I promised I wouldn't, and she shipped the item to me

It didn't even take too long!

I just bought a final item from ebay, and the shipping was kinda high, but I didn't feel like bothering with messaging and all that so I just clicked buy now. They sent me an invoice that said they adjusted the shipping cost to more accurately represent the true amount! Sweet!

my wrapping is nothing really special, decided to do cloth wrapping instead of paper because everyone could use some spare cloth for something

I feel like my swap box won't accumulate to much, it's all one big thing and some small extras :/
