Basic rules:
*As per the MLPArena rules, you must be 16 or over to participate.
*Must be a member for at least 3 months
*Must have at least 300 posts
*At least 3 feedback (no negatives/neutrals)
*Participants will leave feedback for their partners once complete.
*You should be able to ship internationally, but if you really can't, please leave a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

If you are a little short, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out!

Swap rules:
*The main budget is $25. This does not include the price of shipping your box to your partner, or extras!
*Extras are $5.
*Be active! Post at least once a week so that we know you're still with us.
*Don't reveal yourself to your partner - That would ruin the surprise!
*Items should be wrapped up before they are sent out! Remember to include a card or a note so that your partner knows who you are! Oh, and remember to say Zuka Zama when you sign up.
*You'll need to post a teaser pic before you send out your items.
*If at any time you need to ask a question which is too specific for your partner not to know it's referring to them, please let me know and I'll PM them for you privately.
*This is a Disney swap. So animated movies such as Anastasia are a no-go I'm afraid! Star Wars and Marvel are accepted, as are all Pixar movies. Kingdom Hearts is also acceptable, on the condition that you're asking solely for KH items (ie. Kingdom Hearts Cloud figure is fine, asking for Cloud items in general is not).


If you are interested, send me a PM with your name, address, email address and the secret word! Once I have received your PM, I will add you to the list. Please also fill out this form and post it here for your partner!

1. Favorite Disney movies?

I'm going to guess the date was a typo since this was posted yesterday. :) There were a bunch of us talking about this right before the holiday swaps and the general consensus was that we should have the swap in January.

I'm checking what I've got going on this month to decide whether I'll do this or not. Odds are good I will, but I want to be sure before I commit to anything.

1. Favorite Disney movies?
- Beauty and the Beast
- Lion King
- Hunchback of Notre damn
- Robin Hood
- Aladdin
- Little Mermaid
- Pocahontas
- Marry Poppins
- Finding Nemo
- Really anything from the Classic Disney Pre 2000 and PIXAR!

2. Favorite Disney characters?

- Ariel
- Ursula
- Maleficent
- Jafar
- Jasime
- Megara
- Pocahontas
- Scar
- Marry Poppins

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
I don't think so! Not really.

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Figures, Pins, Tsum Tsum, Animator Dolls

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Food items

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Not posted, but I wanted to get into animator dolls I own none, So this is a great opt for that. I also want tsum tsum. I only own two! (groot, and Eeyore) I am into figures and art! I also just visited disney and got into the pins. I only have Poppins, ursula, and ariel in her green dress so the disney collector pins would be awesome! (and it is a small shipping box!)
Did I mention I love Blind Boxes?

6. What would you like as extras?
Anything from where the person lives. I love postcards, art, pins, and if you want to do food I LOVE chocolate.

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
Chocolate, and cookies

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
Gummy Candies, sour Candies, and I am allergic to fish, and shellfish doubt that will come into play.

9.Would you appreciate hand made items made just for you?
-First this was added after I did my list.
SECOND YES YES AND YES! I love things from other people!!

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).
Oh I would be okay with this if you wanted to do that!

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
I like small items they often go further!

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Purple and Pink

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
Plain, my post services hate boxes that are decorated, and I hate them cuz they often come to me so nice but got dirty from travel, so I have to throw them out and I feel bad for it. So please do not decorate. please! I beg you!

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example)
That is up to you. If you can find all my faves in tsumtsum then do it.

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?
Posted in my original set of questions. I have two tsum tsum Eeyore, and groot, a few pins from disney, I also had a brain fart when I wrote that and found other things.
Alive in wonderland mug featuring the tea party in purple from disney store, chessier cat plush backpack.

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
I am okay with this, it means more things! I get to enjoy more items.

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
I LOVE BLIND BAGS! and Aristicats is awesome. I also love Figaro! YAY!

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?
I am not going here this could be bad. Anything from Japan is awesome and they often have more tsum tsum. so I am staying away form there. but if you find blind bags we cant get here I would happily love them!


At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???
This is a swap so what ever you want to do would be fine by me!

ULTIMATE ITEM TO GET:
I am a cross stitcher and I would love to have any of the Thomas Kinkade cross stitch, or Alice in Wonderland cross stitch... Been looking for. http://www.hixxysoft.com/bothy-threads-fairy-tales-alice-in-wonderland-cross-stitch-kit.html  (do not order it from here, this is expensive) but if you can find these at your local Joanns COOL! As I am Canadian I can't find these anywhere!

Good luck with your swap!

Post by: Sora on January 05, 2016, 06:09:59 PM
@Phynix
You can! But if you remove anything after everyone has received their partner, you still might end up with an item from the original list (if that makes sense)!

And thanks, kaoskat! :)

I think it's a nice thing to do!

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?
I don't really have much of a collection as such, I just like Disney stuff!

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things? I prefer newer items

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
Yes please!

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?
Anything that fits in with my likes!

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???
If you think I will like the bigger items then go for it!

Are you in any other swaps? Are you using your list here for those?
I am participating in the Be My Valentine Swap but have listed other things besides Disney stuff that I like. I am also doing a private pony swap/ Valentine swap with ChipsteRJ


Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
I managed to get the valentine Minnie Tsum Tsum but the Mickey one had sold out so if you could find one of those I would be happy

Questions from the group
Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you ...items in your box?

As an extra, yes.


I have a friend that will be going to Disney World soon. She is being nice enough to pick up a couple of things for me. Are there any Disney World attractions/rides etc. you enjoy and might want something from?


I've never gone to the Walt Disney World although I would like to. My favorite attractions/rides would be It's a Small World and Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).
   

I think a themed box would be fun. :)


Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?


I'd probably prefer more  smaller things versus one or two big items, but if you find something large that you think I'll absolutely love, I'd be okay with that.  :)

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)


Pink and purple.  I prefer light colors over dark.

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?

 
I'd rather have a plain shipping box because the mailman usually leaves packages outside if no one is home and I'd be really upset if some took my box.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
  I'd like a variety of items. But if you've found a whole collection of something I'd love. I'd probably like that too.


Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?


This has a lot of items  in my collection, but not everything.   :)

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?



As long as it looks nice, used would be fine. :)

question: I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?



I wouldn't think that was tacky at all.

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?


Figaro and Marie aren't my favorites I'd be interested in ones of my favorite characters if you have extra.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?


I can't read Japanese at all so even though I tried to look at Disney Store Japan it was hard for me to navigate the website. I heard Japan gets a lot of Ariel/Little Mermaid items that you can't get outside of Japan.  I'd love one of those or anything thing else my partner chooses for me.


At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???


This one is a little hard to answer. I'd like more things to open but if you've found something you're sure I'll love I wouldn't want to tell you to try to find something else. I'd say use your best judgement.

How many of you are in multiple swaps?  D youo use the same wanted list for all of them when it comes to anything non pony?

 

This is the only swap I'm in right now.

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
I forgot to mention Disney Pins. I have a very small collection of Disney pins from 12 Months of Magic and the Musical Moments collection. I bought them all at a Disney Store so they must  be from around 2002 or so


Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?

I'd be thrilled to have extra Disney items from my wish list.   :)


Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?
I like Hershey's Resse's,  Dove chocolate, etc...   

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?

My wish list on the TP.  http://www.mlptp.net/index.php?threads/ponyfans-wish-list.56033/#post-786066

What are your favorite ponies? 

G1 ponies.  :) My favorite is Twilight the unicorn. I also like Baby Moondancer but really I probably have a lot of favorites.  :)

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?

I collect Barbie/Disney dolls, Hallmark ornaments. I like vintage Strawberry Shortcake but I only have the vintage cartoons and the recent anniversary doll along with a two dolls from my childhood and few other things. I love Jem and the Holograms cartoon.

Partner what is your feeling on Christmas paper if it's Disney? Lol. I have lots of cute disney christmas paper. Otherwise it'll be a more plain or just patterned paper


I was thinking of using Disney paper if I can find something my partner likes. Disney Christmas paper is fine it it's not overly Christmassy.

Partner, I have Disney themed wrapping paper but it's not for one of the movies on your list. (I looked at getting appropriate paper but that seems unlikely.) Should I go ahead and use it, or would you prefer me to look at your favorite colors instead? I don't mind going either route.

I'd be okay with most Disney paper as long as it's not  from one of the movies on my don't like list. :)

Do you wear jewelry?


I usually wear earrings. The last time I got a cheap necklace from Hot Topic I had to get a sterling silver chain to but the pendant one because the chain that came with the necklace irritated my skin.  In my ears I usually wear gold earrings. I think my wrists are small. That being said I think the idea of making handmade jewelry is really nice and if you want to make me something I'd love it even if I wouldn't be able to wear it.

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?



I love stickers.  :lovey: :lovey: I wouldn't mind at all.


 Partner do you mind if your gifts are all wrapped in the same Disney paper or would you want different kinds of paper?


I don't mind everything wrapped up the same.

Question: This awesome item I found for ya partner, the packaging would kill me on shipping can I take the figures out of the package and wrap them in bubblewrap? It would save me about $10 in shipping xD


I'm usually a MIB collector but I'll make an exception for these. :) Fee free to debox them.


Patner do you mind if I use an old box from a jewelry store to wrap one of your items in? I don't want you to be disappointed that it's not jewelry when you open it.

I love the cute little matching outfits they wear on advertisements.

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
Hmmm I was never a huge fan of the Jungle Book and Im personally scared to see Zootopia. It's hard because it stars a fox- my favorite animal.....but also my LEAST favorite which is a sloth. Im terrified of sloths!

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Tsum Tsums! I'm addicted to those darn little things! I have a bunch so make sure you checkout my collection below! ;) Stickers, stationary, mcdonalds toys, handmade goods, pins, anything else is also good with me! I'm easy to please!  **Also we're getting married at Disney World in a few years with a Cinderella theme, so anything to do with Disney or weddings would be adorable! I'M also totally fine with DVDs of movies I am missing, as long as they have the case! Anything from Disney ParKs or the Disney Store will work for me too.

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
I already have lots of dolls! I prefer my partner not to get me them as they are expensive and heavy= shipping cost. Stick to small things!

I will be adding collection photos soon!

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Any Tsums Im missing!

WITCH books! Im trying to collect the series all over again! I've had lots of luck at Half Price Books, the books are $2 each. I own #1, #10, #12; Graphic Novel #4,#6,#7; Adventures: Heartbreak Island and When Lightning Strikes.

101 Dalmation Mcdonalds toys from my childhood, those adorable ornaments ones!

Finding Nemo Mcdonalds toys

Any kind of Zazu anything :heart:

Also anything Angel 624 or Marie :heart: :heart:

I don't know how cheap they are but I also love Star Darlings! I don't own any books!

6. What would you like as extras?
Really anything from candy, stickers, valentines day stuff, or pens! It's just extras!

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
I go bonkers over sour gummy candy! Or gummy candy....anything fruity! xD

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
I cant stand cinnamon candy or white chocolate. As far as allergies make sure the first 10 ingredients arent egg whites! I have an egg allergy to the egg whites in hen eggs. It sucks!

Are there any Disney Movies or Characters that you do not like?

Nightmare before Christmas, Frozen, Bugs Life, Fantasia, Mickey or Minnie things, Cars,  Star Wars, Marvel, Donald Duck and Family, Goofy, Pooh stuff,

Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?

I enjoy items I can use for more than just one thing.  I love totes, make up bags, pencil bags, tins, character shaped plush bags, socks, collectors pins, PVC Character sets,  drinking glasses (not plastic), coffee mugs (not plastic), t-shirts, Disney Feves, trinket boxes, charms, earrings, necklaces and jewelry (not plastic jewelry), kitchen stuff, paper/office goods (like journals, note cards, colorful pens, key chains, cell phone charms, miniatures, hair stuff, I like things with vivid color rather than a black and white graphic.  I don’t mind black as a base color, just love color with it.

Sizes for Shirts and stuff: I normally wear a small, but for the sake of making sure it fits lets go for Medium on any clothing items.  Size US 6 in clothes and US 6 foot.

Any particular merchandise type you’d rather not receive?

I am not interested in: plushies, bath stuff,  books, puzzles, bookmarks, figurines (unless they are Feves), snow globes, polly pocket style doll sets, vinylmation, stickers, kids plastic style jewelry, plastic cups (designs don’t hold up on these), ornaments, dolls, movies, music

Do you have a wishlist?

Not really but I will put a list of the PVC Complete sets I would enjoy having here.  You can get me whatever you think is super fun from any of my favorite films or characters.  I am open to anything that fits my interests.  The list below is just an idea and not a true wanted list. ;)

***wanted most

***tsum tsum Marie from Aristocats
tsum tsum Cheshire Cat, Alice, White Rabbit
tsum tsum Bambi, Thumper, Flower if they made her

PVC Licensed Disney
***Alice in Wonderland (version with white rabbit, Cheshire cat, Alice, Mad Hatter
***Rapunzel (set must have a Pascal)
Toy Story (version with Jessie)
Monsters University (version with Art) and then a pvc Boo character by herself
Aristocats (must have marie)

Chip and Dale

***Sleeping Beauty (version with Maleficent and fairies)
Snow White and the & Dwarfs
Single Figures of Pinocchio, Figaro, J. Cricket,
Would so love some Alice In Wonderland Feves especially Alice, Cheshire cat and White Rabbit.
Would also love a Marie the Cat Feves or even Feves from The Little Mermaid.  Actually any of the movies I have listed as favorites I would love a few Feves in.  They have made so many cute Disney Feves. Squeeee

What would you like as extras?

I really like Japanese items kawaii style and just stuff from japan in general.  I really enjoy sweets related merchandise like anything with a cupcake, ice cream or dough nut theme. Kawaii items (Please No Hello Kitty and  Rilakkuma or Sanrio stuff).  I like seals, woodland critters, sloths, owls especially, pandas, and Dolphins.  I prefer things with lots of vivid color rather than natural or pastel.  My favorite colors are Aqua, Purple and Pink (vivid color), I love earrings, bracelets, necklaces in costume jewelry.  I am not a fan of hoops but love dangles.  Anything but copper is fine for jewelry.  I am very girlie.  I like bling, glitter, and all sorts of cute, whimsical stuff.  I like cell phone charms, charms in general.  I love paper products, blind bag toys (just not Carebear), hair elastics, colored lip gloss (no Dollar Store due to lead), roll on perfumes, and trinkets. I am a huge trinket person.  I don’t really like figurines unless they are a miniature.  I am not a fan of zodiac stuff/cultural religious items.

Candy: No candy/beverage or food products ( I can’t have these)

Allergies: mold, copper, cigarette smoke

Here are three pictures that include some of things I have in the Totoro/Ponyo Group, PVC Characters and Disney Pins.  Not very much. LOL

Thread Questions

Handmade items? Yes
Favorite theme park ride? Its a Small World
Theme Box? Sure
Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?

I like to do several items in my swap boxes so I figure i would love the same.

What are you favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)

Aqua purple

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?

Plain just because, i dont save shipping boxes usually.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).

I am ok with  whatever my partner finds and wants to do.

I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?

As long as its something that is listed as a favorite movie or character for me I am game.

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?

A basic rundown of what I have is actually all in my photos.  I love Disney stuff, but I have not been able to collect a lot of it due to my other massive collection efforts.  The only pins I have besides a Bambi couples pin are on my lanyard there in the photo.  I have no feves yet that are Disney, I have not many PVC character sets so, the photo shows what I have.  I am new to tsum tsums and the only one I have right now is Flounder.  I have no toys other than my Disney World Castle.  I have tons of Disney dolls though and that is why I asked they not be purchased.  I don't have licensed merchandise mugs either.  I have an art mug of Alice from England and that is it.  So, it would be difficult to pick up a duplicate for me.  I am actually in this swap to add to a collection I have seriously neglected for years. :blush:

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?

Used in near mint condition is fine for me. I really don't want anything that is stained, dirty, stinky, moldy, scratched or dented.  That leaves about everything but the kids bath water goo. ROFLOL :lol:

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
The tsum tsums are growing on me so I would say sure.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?
They have some cute Alice in wonderland hair ties.  Actually I love their stuff a lot.  They have a huge variety of jewelry but I have no idea the cost.  The Alice stuff is so so cute and the Aristocat Marie stuff is adorable.  They have the cutest Chip and Dale stuff. Wow  I loved everything I saw that is in the category of things I like. Wow why did you send me there? lol  Oh and their little bags and mini purses are so cute.  Now that is what I wish our US Disney Store was like.  I love everything Japan does though.

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?

Yes, I really like Cinderella as a favorite movie as well as the mice to be my favorite characters.  So, I didn't really add much in the way of the mice to my wanted list but I love them and I like Lucifer too.  I discovered they made the mice in Tsum Tsums and they are so cute.  I also forgot to add that I am looking for the Walt Disney World 1970s Metal Lunch Kit that has Mickey, Cinderellas Castle and monorail, Donald and Pluto on the front; and the bear band on the back.  My best friend died 3 years ago and this was the lunch box she carried to school when we were young.  I want to get it to add to my collection just because I miss my friend so much.  I think the prices for this lunch box go all over the place and there isn't really a need to have it mint that is for sure.  It is something I can get myself, but I just have not done it yet.

Candy Brand you like more than others?  I can not have candy :(

Disney items as extras?  That is fine with me.

xtra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?

My pony wanted list is in my siggy

What are your favorite ponies?

G1 mainsail

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?

Strawberry  Shortcake pets i only have the parrot, calico critters, 80s barbies and clothes, lalaloopsy, metal lunch kits, glass beads, kiddles, kamar under 4 inch plushies, vintage doll clothes, G1 MLP,
pegasus, schleich,  american girl,  fairtail birds...i am looking for fluffy tummies.  I have one, but i have forgotten her name, charmkins animals  and boys, cabbage patch stuff. .just a lot i collect lol

How do you feel about Disney Christmas Wrapping Paper?

I am totally fine with this as I was going to use it too until I found an alternative.
Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: 2 more days left!
Post by: ringwraith10 on January 08, 2016, 02:42:23 PM
I'm in! This is going to be an amazing swap!

1. Favorite Disney movies?
I'm going to answer 1 and 2 together... though I will say that I love most of the cannon Disney films, as well as Studio Ghibli! I also like the Disney Fairies films, and some Pixar movies (though I'm not as huge a fan of Pixar films).
2. Favorite Disney characters?
Okay, in order of favorites, movies and favorite characters from said movie. :D
A. The Lion King: Scar, Nala
B. Beauty and the Beast: Gaston, Belle (especially in her blue dress), Belle's books (Does that count? No?), Sultan the dog
C. The Little Mermaid: Ursula and Ariel, and weirdly also King Triton, especially when he's shocked or upset (because he's just too funny).
D. Sleeping Beauty: Maleficent! This is also my mom's favorite movie -- she likes the three good fairies. Oh, Prince Philip and the two kings (drinking buddies!) are pretty good, too. And I like Aurora's dress when it's blue.
E. Mulan: Mulan and her horse are my favorite characters, plus Shan Yu (sp?) is the most scary/awesome Disney villain.
F. Tangled: Mother Gothel and Rapunzel
Okay, the rest are just general favorites and not in order...
Lady and the Tramp: ALL the animals, but especially the scotty, Jock!
Oliver and Company: Same -- all animals but esp. the poodle, Georgette!
The Jungle Book: Shere Kahn
Atlantis: Kida
Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Jessica Fletcher! Wait, no, I don't remember the main character's name, I just love Angela Lansbury. :)
Aladdin: Jasmine and her tiger, Rajah.
The Sword and the Stone and The Great Mouse Detective are also favorites, but I don't know if I have a fave character... same with Howl's Moving Castle and most of the Studio Ghibli movies.
The Emperor's New Groove: Ysma! Kronk is also pretty great.
Kiki's Delivery Service: Kiki and her cat
My Neighbor Totoro: Totoro, of course!
Disney Fairies: Zarina, Faun, and Vidia
Bambi: Flower! I also like all of the deer. Oh, and all of the other animals!
Winnie the Pooh: Eeyore and Rabbit
Brave: Queen Elinor

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?

Um, I'm not a huge fan of Micky and his gang, though Donald is okay sometimes. I do like Kingdom Hearts, though, and Donald and Goofy play a big role there. I don't particularly like the movies from Disney's two dry spells: first the WWII era movies like "Song of the South" (though I did like "The Three Caballeros" when I was little), then the early 2000s slump when they made "Meet the Robinsons", "Home on the Range", etc. (though I like Bolt!) Also not a fan of the Cars movies and spin-offs.

4a. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)? Plushies! Any toys are cool, home-made stuff is awesome! I want to collect dolls, but I don't have many of them yet. I also want to collect Tsum Tsums, but I only have one so far! How is that possible? Well, I found a few at Target and the only one they had that I really wanted was Sven from Frozen (I don't like the people as much as the animals, and the only other ones they had at the time were Elsa and Olaf). Oh, and I kinda like Disney Palace Pets but I don't have any yet -- I really like Mulan's panda. :) I also want some more Funko Pops -- I only own two currently: Loki and Odin from Thor. Oh, also, I would love any DVDs/Blu-Rays that are missing from my collection! I added some of the ones I need to my wishlist. Adding that I also don't have any Funko mystery minis and would love some of those, also I kinda want to get into Disney Infinity and even though I don't have any of the games yet I wouldn't mind receiving some of the figures.

4b. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive? I can't think of anything...

5. Do you have a wishlist? I went a little crazy making an Amazon wishlist here: http://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2WRF9KRUV4OD5 Remember that these are only suggestions -- I would be happy with pretty much anything! See question 4a for more info about specific things I would like to have.

6. What would you like as extras? Um... I guess you can get creative? I like stationery stuff, stickers, etc. Ponies and pony merch are always good, of course! Chocolate would work, too!

7. What is your favorite type of candy? Chocolate. :) I like Cadbury and Lindt Truffles. Milk chocolate is my favorite, and I flavors I like include mint, caramel, white chocolate, cinnamon, etc.

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies? I don't usually eat hard candies and I'm allergic to artificial food coloring. Really, I'm allergic to a lot of things... but if you stick with chocolate I should be good. :) I would prefer not to get nuts or coconut in my chocolate. The one brand of chocolate I can't stand is Russell Stover (sp?). I am also allergic to bananas.

Further Questions
Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones? I don't mind either way! I might prefer several small items just so I have more presents to open, but either is fine. ;)
What are your favorite colors? Green, blue, black, purple, grey
Do you prefer your box decorated or plain? You probably shouldn't decorate my box since I live in an apartment and there's a chance the box will get dropped off at my doorstep.
Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example). I definitely don't mind either way. :)
If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things? I don't mind if something is "used" as long as it is in very good condition. I do have allergies so it would be great if you could try to get stuff that hasn't been in a smoking household.
Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you, items in your box? Yes, I would love hand-made items.
Are there any Disney World attractions/rides etc. you enjoy and might want something from? I haven't been to Disney World in literally decades, so I don't even know what's still there or not! When I went my favorite park was Epcot, and I did like Figment the Dragon (is he still around?).
Partner how do you feel about a themed box? This would be fine! I might prefer more variety, but I'm sure my partner will find really great stuff either way.

Lilo and Stitch
Treasure Planet
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Lion King
Big Hero 6
Nightmare Before Christmas
Castle In the Sky
James and the Giant Peach
Spirited Away

(though I put them in order, I only put my MOST favorites on this list, so I would love items relevant to things on the bottom of the list just as much as I would items relevant to the top.)

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?

Questions From the Group

Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you ...items in your box?
ABSOLUTELY!

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).
I would be in HEAVEN with a Ghibli or Stitch themed box xD

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
Probably smaller items, as my space is quite limited at the moment and bigger items may not fit.

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Well my obsession for the last few years has been Light teal on white, its the color theme of my room.
I also like rainbows, and purple

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
I looove getting decorated mail!

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
I would prefer a variety :)

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?
Ok My pictures are in the spoiler, I'm sorry they're so bad lol. My collection is also VERY tiny literally just a couple stitch items ^-^; but I'm adding the entire shelf since I guess it might help with extras?

Spoiler

Heh.. just a few little Stitch lol

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Zombies and pokemon

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

HTTYD and more pokemon, I have tepig, froakie, and tyrunt plush as well but they live in my sons room lol

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
I don't mind at all! Most of my collection is stuff I find in second hand shops lol.

question: I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more than you do?
I think its fine! Just so long as its not something you'll regret and miss later! :c

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things.
Im really not pick, whatever you think is best! ^-^

Are you in any other swaps? Are you using your list here for those?
Nope

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
I don't really have a list. >.< sorry!

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
Umm MORE disney stuff? You wont hear me complaining! xD GO FOR IT!

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?
Not particularly, I do like pear flavor jelly bellys though

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
No, Im really not collecting ponies at the moment

What are your favorite ponies?
Id prefer no pony merch, but I would say G1 Gusty, Applejack and bubbles would be my favorites

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
Its in my original questions, :p

Partner, I have Disney themed wrapping paper but it's not for one of the movies on your list. (I looked at getting appropriate paper but that seems unlikely.) Should I go ahead and use it, or would you prefer me to look at your favorite colors instead? I don't mind going either route.
Either sounds perfectly fine with me!

Partner what is your feeling on Christmas paper if it's Disney? Lol. I have lots of cute disney christmas paper. Otherwise it'll be a more plain or just patterned paper.
I don't mind Christmas paper (we may or may not still have our christmas tree up)

1. Favorite Disney movies?
The Lion King
Aladdin
Mulan
Wreck-it Ralph
The Black Cauldron

2. Favorite Disney characters?
Top 2:
Simba
Gremlin Prescott (http://epicmickey.wikia.com/wiki/Gremlin_Prescott)

Others:
The Lion King: Kopa, Kion, Kovu, Fuli & Bunga
Kingdom Hearts: Xemnas, Sora & Demyx
Aladdin: Iago
The Black Cauldron: Gurgi
Wreck-it Ralph: Ralph
Bolt: Mittens
Oliver & Company: Dodger
General: Scrooge McDuck (preferably in his DuckTales/blue attire), Pete, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Gremlin Gus

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
I'm not big on princesses (though I do like Mulan and Tiana, it's just that I prefer them looking casual instead of 'shiny' like they are on most merchandise).

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Plushies are my absolute fave! But most of the ones I want are hard to get hold of these days.
I love pretty much everything (with a few exceptions listed below).

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Pins (unless they're Lion King, and I'd still put them as a low priority) and dolls (this hopefully isn't a problem though)! Also not into jewelry, make up or things relating to fashion. Same with bath salts and lotions (I still have some from Christmas).
Also, whilst I'm pretty sure no official merchandise exists like this, I really hate anthro/gijinka versions of my favourite characters.

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Lion King: Aaaaaanything that I don't have! I especially love the unique stuff that you don't see often.
Also, at the time of posting this, we have nothing for Lion Guard over. Nothing! All I have is the book. I'd love some Kion/Bunga/Fuli items!
Gremlin Prescott: There is nothing. Haha. I list him there in case some is crazy enough to want a custom challenge.
Gremlin Gus: There's a (very inaccurate) plushie that I'd love. Also, either of his figures not the Fifinella, she scares me
Kingdom Hearts: Pride Lands Arts figure (haha no), Hot Topic stuff (like the fleece blanket they once had)
Iago: Any plush not listed in my collection. I know - There aren't many out there anyway.
Black Cauldron: Gurgi toy! A Gurgi plushie would make my day, but I understand that they're annoyingly rare.
Oliver & Co: I mostly want a Dodger plushie.
Wreck-it Ralph Disney Store Ralph plushie. The UK never released it :(
Pete Plushie!


6. What would you like as extras?
Hm, anything  really! Things I could use (like stationary, pens, etc.) would be great, or other things for my collections. My other interests are videogames (Pokemon, Mario, Sonic, MLP, etc.), Smurfs, Zelfs. Animal wise, I love bats, dragons (they count, right?) and lions.

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
Sour candies! But not too much candy, if any please - I have a lot leftover from Christmas!

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
Licorice, dark or plain chocolate.

Collections

As for the others, I don't really have anything aside from a couple of pins!

Questions

Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you ...items in your box?
...If you're feeling brave and want to tackle something of Gremlin Prescott, sure! :silly:

I have a friend that will be going to Disney World soon. She is being nice enough to pick up a couple of things for me. Are there any Disney World attractions/rides etc. you enjoy and might want something from?
Can't think of anything. There's a new Lion Guard attraction (which won't be open until Feb), but if there are any pamphlets to do with it... :P

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).
A Lion King or Simba themed box would be fine by me!

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
I don't mind, really!

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
In order: 'Smurf' blue, royal blue, lime green, grey and black (if you count it).

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
I want to say decorated, but if it's decorated I know the mailman might decide to steal it (he has before, when they've been decorated). So plain, I guess :(

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
I'm okay with anything!

I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?
I wouldn't say it's tacky. I think it would be sweet, personally :)

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?
Will do! My TLK collection is the only one that shouldn't be a problem, hopefully, as every single item is listed on the site (except the Tsum Tsums, which I have).

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
I'm okay with used things, just as long as they're in a good condition.

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
I'm fine with that!

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?
I'm not a huge candy eater, so... not really! Although I do adore Meiji.

Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
None, really! I have the ones I'm looking for.

What are your favorite ponies?
Sweet Stuff!

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
Pokeymans (mostly the newer stuff), Smurfs, Green Mario Luigi & Shadow the Hedgehog!

Partner what is your feeling on Christmas paper if it's Disney? Lol. I have lots of cute disney christmas paper. Otherwise it'll be a more plain or just patterned paper.
I'm fine with that! I'm not fussy with the wrapping paper, honestly :P

Other paper questions:
I'm good with any type of wrapping paper XD

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?
Sure! :)

Do you wear jewelry?
Afraid not! :P

1. Favorite Disney movies?

-- Beauty and the Beast
-- Frozen
-- Lady and the Tramp
-- Aladdin
-- The Little Mermaid
-- The Princess and the Frog
-- Robin Hood
-- Inside Out
-- The Rescuers
-- Hunchback of Notre Dome
-- Mary Poppins

2. Favorite Disney characters?

-- Belle & Beast (Prince Adam)
-- Elsa, Anna, Kristoff
-- Jasmine & Aladdin
-- Ariel & Prince Eric
-- Tiana and Naveen
-- Aurora
-- Disgust / Sadness / Anger
-- Robin Hood, Prince John, Little John, Maid Marion
-- Bernard & Bianca
-- Lady and Tramp

I'm also a villains fan. I love Maleficent, Ursula, Prince John, Jafar, The Evil Queen, Frollo, Captain Hook, Scar, Mother Gothel, Dr. Facilier...

Note: If I like a princess, I generally like all the characters in her film. The ladies I've listed with princes are paired because I actually like the prince in question as his own character (rather than a plot device for her / the film.)

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?

I'm not a big fan of Oliver and Company, The Black Cauldron, Pinnochio, or Lilo and Stitch. I've got nothing against Mickey, Minnie, etc. but I wouldn't want them to be the focus of a box someone was making me. I like Marvel but again I'm not counting on that as a theme.

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?

I'm really into Disney Infinity right now. I love Itty Bittys (and would love to own Tsum Tsums as well--I haven't seen them around here.) I collect mugs, stickers, keychains and coloring books. I love decorative storage things like pencil cases, totes and tins. I love the little movie based figure sets. (I have the set for Aladdin.), Disney Pins (especially the shoes! I have Rapunzel and Cinderella) and dolls (I don't own any Disney dolls. If I got one I'd want a character I really love like Belle, Elsa, Merida (whose movie I did not adore, but whom I think is very pretty.) or one of the cool looking villains. (Mainly thinking Maleficent, Ursula or Evil Queen).

Note: In the above answer I've aimed to give you ideas. The info in wish list is a group of suggestions that will help ensure you don't buy something I own. Please feel free to get as creative as you wish. :)

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?

Socks (usually don't wear them) Jewelry (I'm really finicky because I have trouble with clasps / don't have pierced ears), Bath Products (I just got a ton of Bath & Body Works for Christmas), Food (Disney stuff is costly and food usually isn't the best way to invest).

5. Do you have a wishlist?

Here are a few suggestions. Feel free to use or totally ignore these. I'm putting them here since they're things I already collect. Their main purpose is to help you not buy stuff I already own.

Itty Bittys: Sadness, Anger, Fear, Joy, Elsa, Anna, Yoda, Darth Vader

Movies: Robin Hood, The Hunchback of Notre Dome, The Rescuers, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast. (Note: Some of these are potentially expensive. Feel free to disregard.)

Disney Infinity: Elsa, Mulan, Darth Vader, Merida, Aladdin, Jasmine, Sadness, Fear

Disney Trading Pins: (shoes) Jasmine, Anna, Elsa, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Tinker Bell, Mulan, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Tiana... I'm also interested in the villain shoes, though I don't have those started yet.

6. What would you like as extras?

Chocolate / candy / tea, washi tape, cute post-it notes or notepads, pens, stickers, scrapbooking / papercraft supplies, keychains, magnets... I'll likely enjoy whatever you send. I love finding out what people come up with. :)

7. What is your favorite type of candy?

Chocolate: Milk or white. With: Peanut butter, hazelnut filling, peanuts or almonds, cookie or wafer, mint or caramel.

Candy: Jolly Ranchers, Airheads, Skittles, Jelly beans, Gushers / Juicy Squirts, RealFruit Gummies.

Tea: I like black tea, white tea, chai and most fruit blends. The only tea I really dislike is chamomile.

I love trying new chocolate / candy.

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?

No allergies here. I don't like coconut, black licorice, nerds, whoppers, anything super hot or anything super sour. (a little spice or tart is fine--just nothing tear inducing. :lol: )

Items I Already Own:

Click the spoiler for a list. If you need / want pictures they can be found in either the private swap I did with Mkia9 or the Ornament / $15 pony boxes I received from Ledbyrd.

Questions from the Group:

Question for you guys? Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you ...items in your box?

Sure, that would be great. I enjoy handmade items.

I have a friend that will be going to Disney World soon. She is being nice enough to pick up a couple of things for me. Are there any Disney World attractions/rides etc. you enjoy and might want something from?

I'm not as focused on park attractions as I am on the characters / movies that I like. It's been a long time since I went to Disney World. :lol: My favorite park was MGM (now Hollywood Stuidios, if I'm not mistaken?) My favorite rides as a kid were the Star Wars simulator (which has apparently been updated recently) and the Great Movie Ride, which had parts I loved and parts that kinda scared me as a kid.

Would you be interested in a themed box?

Sure, that would work for me. I'll be totally happy whether my box ends up themed or eclectic since I really love everything I listed. :)

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?

Either option will work totally fine for me. I did my best to ensure my info was flexible.

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)

I like sky blue, bright pink, bright purple and deep green. That said, if my partner has any ideas already on how they want to wrap things that's great.

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?

Either way works. My boxes are either hand delivered or sent to the post office, so there's no chance that decorating will put it at risk.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).

Either way will work for me. I collect a wide range of characters and a wide range of merchandise types.

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?

I have no problem with this. As long as the items I receive are in nice condition there should be no reason to be upset. I collect g1 ponies--those certainly don't come to me new. :lol:

question: I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?

I think that's cute. If I were to do that I'd likely write about it in the card (and tell my partner to read it last) or attach a note to the packaging. I'd want to know if something was unique in such a way. When a toy has a history, it's interesting to know what that is / was.

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?

I ended up watching (and really enjoying) The Aristocats because of our private swap back in October, so if you got my name I'd love to receive those from you since I do like the kittens and because of our swap history it would make sense.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?

I'm really awful at navigating that site. :lol: That said, I'd love any of the little pencil cases / makeup bags, pens or notebooks they have. A lot of stuff on that site has the most gorgeous softly shaded / pastel colors. You don't see that around here from Disney and I actually like the different take on things.

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???

I'm totally fine with a couple larger things or several smaller ones. Consider what the item(s) you would be getting in either case are, and whether you think I would use them. That'd be my advice, anyway. Pay attention to item types someone seems interested in, provided they don't tell you one way or the other on number of gifts. Good luck!

Are you in any other swaps? Are you using your list here for those?

I am currently doing three swaps: this one, the Be My Valentine swap and a private swap with Ledbyrd since my birthday is next month. I gave a ton of ideas in the Valentine Swap that aren't Disney, so odds are good my partner for that won't go that way. The budget for that swap isn't as big as it is for this one, and Disney tends to take more money to box well. As for the private swap, there was not a major list there on my end and a massive pony list on hers. We've swapped countless times, so our swaps don't tend to be as structured.

Question:  Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?

I'm totally good with Disney extras or with other things. I know what you mean about having trouble deciding what to get and having trouble stopping, though. :D There are so many awesome options out there. :D

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?

I like Funko Pops, if that helps. :)

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?

I adore chocolate with peanut butter, so anything Reese's is good. I like chocolate dipped Pocky. Jolly Ranchers are awesome, especially the gummies. TimTams are always epic. (But if you can't get them that's totally okay. :lol: I can't get them here either.)

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?

I haven't gotten around to editing the list in my sig, but I'll list a few here:

G1: Princess Royal Blue, Princess Starburst, Tropical Breeze, Rosedust, Peach Blossom, Peppermint Crunch, Sherbert, Crunch Berry, Starshine, Sweetheart Sister Twinkler, Sweet Suds, Starshine, Parasol, Medley.

G3: Twirlerna, Silver Song, Serendipity, Waterfire, Butterpop.

G4: Water Cuties Blossomforth, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Lyra Heartstrings.

What are your favorite ponies?

My absolute most favorite pony is Princess Serena. A more detailed list:

G1: Princess Serena, Cherry Sweet, Coco Berry

G3: Twilight Twinkle, Desert Blossom, Soda Float, Waterfire

G4: Rarity, Fluttershy, Trixie, Applebloom

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?

Washi Tape, Cute Post-It Notes and little notebooks, pens (black ink or colored ink), scrapbooking supplies, unique tins / pencil cases / bags to hold small items (space is not my friend!), coloring books, keychains, mugs, stickers. (Other toylines I like include Monster High, Ever After High, Lego, Shopkins, Pokemon, Sailor Moon and DC Comics.)

Partner what is your feeling on Christmas paper if it's Disney? Lol. I have lots of cute disney christmas paper. Otherwise it'll be a more plain or just patterned paper.

I say go for it. A lot of us have holiday paper and I see no sense in not using it up.

Partner, I have Disney wrapping paper but it's not for a film on your list. Should I go ahead and use it or look at your favorite colors instead?

Do whatever will work best for you. I like a lot of films that I didn't list and even if it's not one I'm crazy about it's wrapping paper. :lol: I love pretty looking presents, but I wouldn't want someone to stress out over that part of a box needlessly.

Do you wear jewelry?

I like jewelry but I have trouble with clasps. Longer necklaces that can be slipped on are great, as are bracelets that can go "over" rather than clasp. Items that clasp with a button or magnetically can work, though. My ears are not pierced.

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?

Sure, that would be totally fine. I love using stickers to decorate presents. :)

This awesome item I found for ya partner, the packaging would kill me on shipping can I take the figures out of the package and wrap them in bubblewrap? It would save me about $10 in shipping xD

Go ahead and open it. I've sent and received little Disney figures before and that seems to be the rule of thumb. They have cute packaging, but it's bulky and impractical for mailing. Plus, saves me the trouble of having to do it when it gets here. A lot of those things are a pain to get out of the box. :lol:

Question: Would you mind if I wrap one of your gifts in a box from a jewelry store?

Go for it. :) I always open boxes to find out what's inside during a swap. It's always best not to assume they are what the box says unless it's obviously swap related. (And even then I'd open since I'm generally not an MIB collector.) I've sent stuff in Mystery Mini boxes, snack boxes and who knows whatelse in the last year. Some stuff needs a box or it's impossible to wrap. :lol:

Pocahontas
Meeko, Percy, and Flit
Mrs Potts and Chip
Ariel
Ursula
Chip and Dale
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Oswald

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
Not particularly? I mean there are certainly movies that aren't my favorites, but I don't dislike any of them lol. I'm not a huge fan of the princesses, unless mentioned above. I tend to like the animal characters more.

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
All of the above!! I collect pins, plushies, mugs, figures, random bath sets, pencils, whatever you find! I love weird stuff, too! I have a Marie toilet brush from Rosierjay that is one of the coolest things ever!

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Nope, not if its collection related.
Extras wise I'd prefer no lotion or bath products. But if its a collection item that's fine!

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Not in particular, no. But I do have things I will always be interested in.
Heres a link to my pinterest if you need some ideas. I don't have anything in this Pinterest board:
https://www.pinterest.com/haileymarie92/collection-wants/

I love Tsum Tsums! I'm still looking for:
-Flounder
-Ariel
-Ursula
-Sebastian
-Scuttle
-Rajah
-Genie
-Miss Bunny
-Lucifer
-Lady
-Tramp
-Nana
-Tick Tock
-Figaro

Here are some other ideas of things I don't yet have:

Mugs: Beauty and the Beast (I have chip, but thats it), Any Frozen mug (I have none), Ariel (or her animal friends), Wreck it Ralph, Big Hero 6, 101 Dalmations


6. What would you like as extras?
More Disney stuff? lol. But really :P. I like candy, stickers, etc.

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
Dark chocolate, M&Ms (mini and peanut are my favs), sour gummi worms, cookies, tim tams.

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
No allergies. I dislike chocolate with fruit in it. Also dislike Crunch bar (or anything with the rice crunch things in it). Not a fan of cheap dollar store off-brand chocolate. And not a fan of white chocolate. I'd rather go for quality than quantity (like a small amount of Lindt truffles versus a huge amount of cheaper chocolate).

Questions from the group!
Would you appreciate handmade items in your box?
Absolutely! I'd prefer the main portion of the budget be spent on licensed merch, but I'd love something handmade as an extra!

Is there anything from Disney World you might like?
I've never been to Disney World, but I have Disneyland annual passes. I would love any Aristocats item, if they happen to have one.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
I would be happy either way :).

 Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
I'm happy with whichever you decide partner :)

 What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Orange :). Especially with pink, red, or yellow. But I love all colors really. So any wrapping is just fine!

 Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
Our packages get placed on our porch until someone is home to bring them in, so I'd keep the outside box decorations to a minimum. And I usually let the cats have the box after I take the gifts out, so really the inside doesn't have to be decorated either. But if you want to partner, go for it!

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
I don't mind used as long as it's in good condition and preferably from a smoke-free home/store/etc.

question: I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?
Definitely not tacky! I'd be just fine with that

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
Totally happy with this!! Most of my partners extras are collection related, too!

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?

I really like Lindt truffles lately, but honestly I'm happy with any of the ones listed in my original post.

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
I'm not actively collecting ponies right now :/

What are your favorite ponies?
Toola Roola and Zecorra are my top two favs, but I also like Rarity.

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
Disney! Lol. I used to collect zebra stuff, but I haven't had room to add to that collection in a long time. Though I do still like zebra print stuff (just traditional black and white).
Oh! I do also love the Paw Patrol lol. They're nickelodeon, but they're just so cute!!! Any thing with dogs and cats on it I'd love actually.

Sent my PM in, I look forward to this swap!  ^.^ I'll fill out my form tomorrow.
Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: 2 more days left!
Post by: JazzMatazz on January 09, 2016, 07:07:32 PM
Sent my pm, I'll be updating this with my wishlist. I am going to be gone for a week during this swap I'll be at Walt Disney World for my birthday the 31st-feb 6th. So I'll have to plan on some things in advance and do my best while at the parks!

1.   Favorite Disney movies?
Beauty & The Beast
Tangled
Oliver & Company
Aristocats
Princess & The Frog
The Lion King
Lilo & Stitch

2. Favorite Disney characters?
Pascal from Tangled, Stitch, I really like the new Mickey Shorts series, not a huge fan of general mickey though.

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
Never been a big fan of the majority of the princesses, Marie from aristocrats, ariel from little mermaid, that Gollum type character from black cauldron

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Dvds/Blurays, Kitchen items, Things I can use every day, pins, books, pens,

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Plush, Coffee mugs (I have too many), Frozen, pencils (I'm overflowing with them pens are fine)

5. Do you have a wishlist?

My profile has a amazon wishlist link for some ideas.
I'm mostly focused on updating my VHS to dvd/and or blu ray. I'm down to about 20. Since we have quite a few PAL format members thus far it would have to be region free. The only thing I'm looking for from UK is the Disney Treasures DVD packs are very high on the list.

Books I'd be interested in any of the Disney art of books so far I only own Wall-e, Aladdin, and Monsters University, art of lion king, and disney golden books. Rather interested in the old Mickey's cookbook from the parks which is on the amazon list.

Pins I do have a list on pinpics not sure if that's the best route or not to make a wishlist on. http://pinpics.com/member.php?t=w&uid=44715&keyword=&pg=1  If you could find my name Liz in pins that would be cool in any of the alphabet sets except pooh bear I'm not a huge Pooh fan. Otherwise I don't have too many pins I'll update soon with a photo of what I do have. I'd stay away from newer releases since I'll be in the parks mid swap. I plan buying a few  :biggrin:

6. What would you like as extras?
candy, perhaps something local, got a crafting hobby you like to do handmade things are fine too!

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
dark chocolate, sour gummies

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
Not a fan of taffy or hard things to chew, have a bad jaw that pops at times.


Thread Questions
Handmade items? Yes
Favorite theme park ride? Pirates of the Caribbean
Theme Box? Sure
Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
Whichever you prefer I know majority of my wishlist is on the higher end so fewer might be easier.

What are you favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Blues, Greens, Purples

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?

Plain I tend to reuse shipping boxes.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).

I am ok with  whatever my partner finds and wants to do.

I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?

I'm ok with it if you are.

Pictures of your collection?
Here is a quick photo drop on photobucket http://s40.photobucket.com/user/barbariancrumpet/library/Disney%20Swap
Missing from the photos right now due to being lent out is the black cauldron, Aladdin king of thieves, and jim henson's storyteller. Basically anything that is a vhs I'd rather have on dvd/blu ray. I do have a small oliver and company collection but I've rather stopped collecting. I don't mind small figures though, my movie shelf has trinkets from childhood.


Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?

I'm really not interested in the tsum tsum line at all.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?

I absolutely adore the soup miso/rice bowls! The chip & dale set I've been eyeing over awhile as well as stitch. But those were a last year item. Looking at what's on the website now I do like the donald soup set. I don't wear a lot of jewelry even though I think most of it is cute. Or the stitch cookie/bread cutters that are only found in japan. Bento box supplies and or chopsticks would be fine as well.

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???
I'm ok with less, I know my wishlist is closer to budget on just 1-2 items.

Are you in any other swaps? Are you using your list here for those?
nope, this is the only swap I'm in
Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
Not that I can think of at the moment. I suppose you could add Disney adult watches as an interest.

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?

I like Ghirardelli chocolate, kinder chocolate better than let's say Hershey.

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
Linked in my sig though I have been downsizing lately and mainly all I have left on my wishlist are items out of budget for this swap.

What are your favorite ponies?
G1 Gypsy, Barnacle
G4 Twilight and Zecora


What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
  I collect ninja turtles. Some interests include art, roller skating, pokemon, yo-kai watch, fantasy books


Partner what is your feeling on Christmas paper if it's Disney? Lol. I have lots of cute disney christmas paper. Otherwise it'll be a more plain or just patterned paper.

Go for it! I really do not mind if it's holiday paper or not.

Partner, I have Disney themed wrapping paper but it's not for one of the movies on your list. (I looked at getting appropriate paper but that seems unlikely.) Should I go ahead and use it, or would you prefer me to look at your favorite colors instead?
I don't mind either way. It could just be my little pony themed paper if that was something you had on hand. I really don't mind even if it's a series I'm not fond of when it comes to paper.

Do you wear jewelry?

I sort of do, while I do have pierced ears I don't change them out unless I am getting a medical procedure. I had both my ears get infected and then inflamed from cheap metal when I got them done so I'm very wary of anything but surgical steel. I do like bracelets and necklaces but I have issues wearing them for long periods of time due to sensitive skin so while I like jewelry it's not something I wear often.

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?

If you want to use them to decorate you can. I also am a member of Disney movie club. :D

Yes, this! :cheer: I'm always excited to find out whether I'll be buying for someone I've swapped with before, or someone totally new. Will it be someone with similar tastes to mine, or someone chosen to encourage me to learn about new things? For me it's win / win. I love buying for people I've become friends with already, but I also welcome the opportunity to really dive in and learn about new stuff so I can make someone a fantastic box. :)

Okay well can we add a couple of dollars to that if we need too?  I have never spent only 5.00 on extras in my life. I am not sure its possible. I am not sure I can do it.  lol  I will do my best.
I think most of us are in that boat! ;) Like you said: probably not possible.

Agreed. I always take that as a safety net / minimum / making sure we're all on the same basic page thing. :lol:

Post by: Mori_LeStrange on January 11, 2016, 04:18:43 PM
Yay, I'm in. Sorry this is a little late.

1. Favorite Disney movies?
The Nightmare Before Christmas, Lilo and Stitch, Oliver and Company, The Lion King, anything Pixar but especially Up, Ratatouille and Inside Out (except Cars 1 & 2 and The Good Dinosaur), Princess and the Frog

I completely forgot Studio Ghibli and Muppets are technically part of Disney now.

Everything by Studio Ghibli is great. If I had to choose a favorite it be either Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle.

I loved The Muppets movie and the new tv show. As well as all the early Muppet movies (my favorites are Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol but it is so hard to choose).

2. Favorite Disney characters?
The Nightmare Before Christmas:
   Jack
   Zero
   The giant snake that eats the Christmas tree – random I know. But       ever since I saw the move as a little girl I wanted one.
Lilo and Stitch:
   Stitch
Oliver and Company:
   Oliver
   Rita
The Lion King:
   Simba
   Scar
   The hyenas
Princes and the Frog:
   Naveen
   Dr. Facilier
Cheshire Cat – any version of him   
Maleficent
Any of the Disney cat characters.
Gonzo the Great
Sweetums
Catbus - my favorite character from any Studio Ghibli film



3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
Movies:
Cars 1 & 2
Characters:
Donald Duck
Marie – I don’t dislike her. But her merchandise is usually too pink heavy for me to like anything with her on it.
The geese from the Aristocats

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Plushies, Figures, pins, magnets, pens. Maybe a mug.
I do like jewelry but I’m kind of picky about it. My tastes tend to run toward the gothic. Nothing real childish.

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Clothing, stickers.

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Anything Haunted Mansion related. It’s one of my favorite rides at Disney World. The only items I have are a pin with Chip and Dale in one of the doom buggies, the game of Life version and a friend will be picking me up the Ezra Funko Pop soon.
Anything Tower of Terror related. Another one of my favorite Disney World rides. I have a “room key” key chain and that’s it.
Any of the small Tsum Tsums of my favorite characters. I’ve wanted to start collecting them
Any of the Nightmare Before Christmas Funko Mystery Minis. I don’t have anything from series 1 or 2.
Funko Mystery Mini Heroes vs Villians:
   Simba
   Scar
Funko Pop! Zero

I might add more here as I think of things.


6. What would you like as extras?
Magnets, candy, fun pens……

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
Dark and milk chocolate, any blackberry flavored candy, gummies. I like chocolate bars with different flavors to them. Like fruit flavored or with nuts or crisp rice pieces. Some of my favorite chocolate has chipotle pepper in it. I love the little spicy flavor it adds. I also like chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate and peanut butter.

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
I don’t like white chocolate or any kind of licorice. I also don’t like coconut. I’m allergic to sour cream but I don’t think that will be a problem. Strongly scented things can bother my allergies sometimes.

Swap Questions:

Would you appreciate hand made, especially for you ...items in your box?

Sure!

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).

I theme box could be fun. But so would a variety of things.  :P That was really wishy washy. Of all my collections I think a theme box of The Nightmare Before Christmas would be best/easiest to put together. But I'm sure you will put together a great box no matter what.

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
It doesn't matter to me.

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Black, red and aqua.

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
It's fun to get decorated boxes. But usually the postman leaves any boxes on the front porch. With the way the weather is right now any nice decorations might be ruined. So don't feel it's something you have to do.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
Either way is good for me!

I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?
I don't think it's tacky at all. I think that be really sweet.

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?

Not pictured:
90's Simba plush
the 90's Nala plush that purred when you squeezed her
90's Sheenzi plush
beanie Kovu plush
I believe I have all of the Lion King fast food toys
Game of Life Haunted Mansion edition
Nightmare Before Christmas metal lunch boxes,Thermos, mug, candles in the shape of Jack and Sally
I have almost a complete set of the Nightmare Before Christmas toys
I have all the plastic original 90's Lion King Toys
all of the McDonald's Oliver and Company toys
A pin with Chip & Dale in the Doom Buggy from Haunted Mansion
Pookalooz Cheshire Cat, Jack, Sally and Gonzo
Funko Mystery Mini Heroes Vs Villains Stitch

I think that's most of it!

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
As long as its in good condition I don't mind. I'd just ask it not smell like cigarette smoke.


Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
Sure, I'd prefer Figaro. I like all the Disney cats, but Marie is probably my least favorite.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?
Here are some of the items that caught my eye.
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313548716/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313548716/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313547641/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313547641/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526288/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526288/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313554410/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313554410/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313554434/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313554434/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313480771/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313480771/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526196/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526196/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313454499/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313454499/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313502367/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313502367/)
http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526226/ (http://store.disney.co.jp/g/g4936313526226/)- I don't usally like Donald. But this is adorable.

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???
I don't really have a preference for the most part. I'd say whatever you think is best. But, if you are having a hard time deciding or think I would like either way the same. If I absolutely had to choose I guess I'd pick two big items.

How many of you are in multiple swaps?  Do use the same wanted list for all of them when it comes to anything non pony?
I'm not in any other swaps right now. When I'm in multiple swaps I try and keep separate wish lists for each.

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
I had initially forgotten Muppets and Studio Ghibli are a part of Disney. I've since added my favorite characters from those movies to my list.

Also I specified my favorite kinds of candy too.

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
That's fine with me.

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?
My favorites are Godiva, Ghirardelli, and Chuao. But I know those are expensive. I also enjoy Hershey, Nestle and M&M Mars chocolate just fine. I like to try new kinds of candy so if you have a local candy or favorite candy not included in my list and you think I'd like it. I'd love to give it a try!

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
http://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=310822.msg437617#msg437617 (http://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=310822.msg437617#msg437617)

What are your favorite ponies?
My favorite ponies are Luna and Fizzy, I have armies of both.

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
My other collections are MLP, Monster High, Furry Bones, and Funko. I also collect Teddy Scares. But that collection is mostly complete a they haven't made many new bears in awhile.

Wrapping paper

Use whatever wrapping paper you want. It's what's inside the paper that counts. :P

Do you wear jewelry?
I do. Rings, bracelets and necklaces. I don't have preiced ears.

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?
Go ahead. Sounds like that would be cute.

Partner do you mind if your gifts are all wrapped in the same Disney paper or would you want different kinds of paper?
Either way is fine with me. What every you prefer!

This awesome item I found for ya partner, the packaging would kill me on shipping can I take the figures out of the package and wrap them in bubblewrap? It would save me about $10 in shipping xD

Open away! I'm not a MiB collector so it's going to be opened anyway.

Patner do you mind if I use an old box from a jewelry store to wrap one of your items in? I don't want you to be disappointed that it's not jewelry when you open it.

Go right ahead!

I have a friend that will be going to Disney World soon. She is being nice enough to pick up a couple of things for me. Are there any Disney World attractions/rides etc. you enjoy and might want something from?

Yaaaaay! Partner time! :frolic: going to do a TON of shopping on Thursday- its play check period, all bills are paid! I'm happy because I just got fun things in work I can buy as extras!!!!!!! I have so many things in mind, and I've got the Disney Store and access to Disney Parks merchandize at my fingertips! IM SO EXCITED! I know how to order through the phone from Disney World and Disneyland, my partner will be so excited!

I would LOVE handmade items! OOAK trinkets or do-dads are always wonderful to receive!!!!

Themed box would also be kinda neat! Its not required though, but if you want to draw on the box feel free! :heart:

I did update my post for the new questions and added Ghibli items to my wishlist. I forgot Disney has the rights to most of the films so super excited as I love Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service so much.

Don't forget, guys: don't buy yourself anything Disney related now that the swap's started! :P I don't want to buy my partner something and then find out that they bought it after they made their wishlist!

I'll add answers to the new questions to my original post. To answer mkia9's question about a themed box: I probably wouldn't mind, but if it were themed I would probably rather it not be Lion King themed. Since TLK is my favorite Disney movie it's the one that I have the most merch from, and I'd probably rather get stuff from other movies. Not that I don't want TLK merch! I still don't own very much merch and most of it isn't recently released, but if my box is themed it might be nice to get stuff from one of my other favorite movies. :) But really, I wouldn't care even if it were TLK themed because I'm sure it would be wonderful so you can probably disregard this whole ramble right here. ;)

I'm already hunting for goodies and I think I've found a few interesting things.

Okay, everything is updated. Here are a few more questions:

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?

Either option will work totally fine for me. I did my best to ensure my info was flexible.

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)

I like sky blue, bright pink, bright purple and deep green. That said, if my partner has any ideas already on how they want to wrap things that's great.

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?

Either way works. My boxes are either hand delivered or sent to the post office, so there's no chance that decorating will put one at risk.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).

Either way will work for me. I collect a wide range of characters and a wide range of merchandise types.

I'll add these to my main post, but:

I'm happy with whichever you decide partner :)

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Orange :). Especially with pink, red, or yellow. But I love all colors really. So any wrapping is just fine!

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
Our packages get placed on our porch until someone is home to bring them in, so I'd keep the outside box decorations to a minimum. And I usually let the cats have the box after I take the gifts out, so really the inside doesn't have to be decorated either. But if you want to partner, go for it!

Post by: ringwraith10 on January 12, 2016, 07:48:34 AM
I will answer all of the questions, I swear! Lala: I was just looking at Star Darlings stuff on Amazon! I haven't seen the show but the dolls are cute. :)

I have a few questions, too:

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?

To answer for myself: I posted a few pictures but I'll add a bit more detail regarding what I already have.

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?

I don't mind if something is "used" as long as it is in very good condition. I do have allergies so it would be great if you could try to get stuff that hasn't been in a smoking household.

It's a risk I'm going to have to take since I'll be in the parks! Also I'm updating my initial post with all my answers and have since added collection photos. I thrift a lot and I do find a lot of Disney stuff. Usually it goes on ebay unless it's an ornament or something I'd wear or use. You can stalk my instagram to see those things. SN stitchinrhyme

The best thing is to check out my Instagram! I post up to date photos of things I buy! I will be adding collection pictures possibly tomorrow! Partner if you are still worried you might buy me a duplicate, you can always ask Sora to ask me!

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?

I don't mind used things! A good chinck of my toys are actually thrift store toys that I have cleaned up pretty good! Loose toys are also fine!

I mean this is a tough decision on just what to get and how to go because, I have so many wonderful ideas of ways I could do my box.  I love my partner's wanted list. I feel like putting a Disney movie on.

tulagirl: Mine isn't too great either. I'm still hoping to find something on my partner's wishlist at least. My one is just crammed full of Star Wars, Marvel and Frozen. A few Toy Story items here and there, and whatever the latest movie is has a small section too. The cast members have a poor knowledge on Disney movies too, ironically.  :huh:

Icecreamgirl: I'm in the same boat as you. The nearest Disney Store I can see is in Toronto and that's way too far for me to drive just to check one store out. (Especially since I can't drive and someone would need to take me.)

Latest Questions:

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?

I have no problem with this. As long as the items I receive are in nice condition there should be no reason to be upset. I collect g1 ponies--those certainly don't come to me new. :lol:

question: I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?

I think that's cute. If I were to do that I'd likely write about it in the card (and tell my partner to read it last) or attach a note to the packaging. I'd want to know if something was unique in such a way. When a toy has a history, it's interesting to know what that is / was.

I don't mind used as long as it's in good condition and preferably from a smoke-free home/store/etc.

Definitely not tacky! I'd be just fine with that :)

Yeah, I don't live near a Disney store, either, so I'm a little glad to hear that they don't have much good stuff right now. I'll be doing my shopping online, mostly (as I usually do since there aren't any good stores in my area).

We were at the disney store earlier today, but I didn't find anything for my partner. Didn't find anything at Target either.


Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?

Post by: Mori_LeStrange on January 12, 2016, 07:11:59 PM
I think I got all the questions. Also partner I'll be updating my original question list with some things I forgot.

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).

I theme box could be fun. But so would a variety of things.  :P That was really wishy washy. Of all my collections I think a theme box of The Nightmare Before Christmas would be best/easiest to put together. But I'm sure you will put together a great box no matter what.

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
It doesn't matter to me.

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Black, red and aqua.

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
It's fun to get decorated boxes. But usually the postman leaves any boxes on the front porch. With the way the weather is right now any nice decorations might be ruined. So don't feel it's something you have to do.

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example).
Either way is good for me!

I have a piece of Disney merch from when I was a kid, it is in PERFECT condition. I was wondering is it tacky to send it as an extra to your partner if you think they will love it more then you do?
I don't think it's tacky at all. I think that be really sweet.

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?

90's Simba plush
the 90's Nala plush that purred when you squeezed her
90's Sheenzi plush
beanie Kovu plush
I believe I have all of the Lion King fast food toys
Game of Life Haunted Mansion edition
Nightmare Before Christmas metal lunch boxes,Thermos, mug, candles in the shape of Jack and Sally
I have almost a complete set of the Nightmare Before Christmas toys
I have all the plastic original 90's Lion King Toys
all of the McDonald's Oliver and Company toys
A pin with Chip & Dale in the Doom Buggy from Haunted Mansion
Pookalooz Cheshire Cat, Jack, Sally and Gonzo
Funko Mystery Mini Heroes Vs Villains Stitch

I think that's most of it!

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
As long as its in good condition I don't mind. I'd just ask it not smell like cigarette smoke.


Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
Sure, I'd prefer Figaro. I like all the Disney cats, but Marie is probably my least favorite.

The closest one to me is 100 miles after the one nearest me closed too. :cry: I'll be making the pilgrimage to the store regardless  at the end of the month for you and me partner. I did have a question to ask since I'm making an order to Disney Store Japan soon.

I ended up watching (and really enjoying) The Aristocats because of our private swap back in October, so if you got my name I'd love to receive those from you since I do like the kittens and because of our swap history it would make sense.

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?

I'm really awful at navigating that site. :lol: That said, I'd love any of the little pencil cases / makeup bags, pens or notebooks they have. A lot of stuff on that site has the most gorgeous softly shaded / pastel colors. You don't see that around here from Disney and I actually like the different take on things.

I know I was dying with just about everything I saw.  I have a friend in Japan, but I have not heard from her since they had that major plant leak from the tsunami.  I need to find someone else that lives in Japan to go shopping for me one day.  Or someone that is a pony person I can trust to be my shopping agent.  My friend is okay but she moved I think.

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???

I'm totally fine with a couple larger things or several smaller ones. Consider what the item(s) you would be getting in either case are, and whether you think I would use them. That'd be my advice, anyway. Pay attention to item types someone seems interested in, provided they don't tell you one way or the other on number of gifts. Good luck!

How many of you are in multiple swaps?  Do use the same wanted list for all of them when it comes to anything non pony?   Just to assure who ever has me, I am using my list for this swap for only this swap.  I have not taken the time to really look around, but I usually ask this when i am in pony swaps.  So, i thought I would ask even though its not a pony swap.

Post by: ladybastilla on January 13, 2016, 06:42:49 PM
Are you in any other swaps? Are you using your list here for those?

I am currently doing three swaps: this one, the Be My Valentine swap and a private swap with Ledbyrd since my birthday is next month. I gave a ton of ideas in the Valentine Swap that aren't Disney, so odds are good my partner for that won't go that way. The budget for that swap isn't as big as it is for this one, and Disney tends to take more money to box well. As for the private swap, there was not a major list there on my end and a massive pony list on hers. We've swapped countless times, so our swaps don't tend to be as structured.

I'm hosting the Valentine Swap, and I did use some of the same things in my list there. It's hard to use a different list because I basically only collect Disney at the moment. But I'm okay with doubles if it happens to work out that I receive them.

I don't really have a preference for the most part. I'd say whatever you think is best. But, if you are having a hard time deciding or think I would like either way the same. If I absolutely had to choose I guess I'd pick two big items.

I'm not in any other swaps right now. When I'm in multiple swaps I try and keep separate wish lists for each.

I don't mind, really! Although I do tend to lean towards lotsa little things, I'm happy with just a couple of big things too :)

Nope, just this one :)

In terms of what I own, my Tsum Tsums, but only on the first day. Wishlist-wise, I think it's up to date! :)

Well, good grief I am sorry you got so sick.  That happened to me when I ate one of those Cinnabon things at the mall.   Oh man did I get sick and I have no idea why.  That was years ago.  Get better soon.  I want to know....I want to know.....I am  not shopping for myself at all.

I found something else for my partner today, but when I went out looking for wrapping paper I hit a brick wall of nothingness. :huh:

Sorry for being afk for the last couple of days! I started a new class (I haven't taken a class in about two years) this semester so I've been focusing on that. No worries, though, I'm here. ;) Answering some questions:

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry? I think I'm too late to actually answer this, but I would LOVE absolutely anything from Disney Store Japan!

At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ??? I'm sure you guys know that I'm flexible and will be happy with anything! I leave those hard decisions to you, partner. ;)

I hope to do some shopping when I get out of work today. :D There's also something really, really cool that I found and want to get for my partner, but I am trying to see if I can get a good deal on it from Ebay or somewhere, since it would take up almost the whole budget.

OMG Cinnabon. I get diabetes type 7 just looking at their food! :lmao: A lot of their stuff looks SO cute too! I had something from there, some thing in a waffle cone, and whenever I bit into it- it was just too sugary and sweet for me to finish. I got a migraine from the overload of sweetness and was like never again! The food I had this time was Surka Grill- its a japanese style food place. I asked for vegetable fried rice with fried mushrooms and I think it was cross contaminated with chicken. I still feel sooooo sick omg!  :X :toot:
Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: Start shopping!
Post by: tulagirl on January 14, 2016, 04:37:44 PM
Yea I can't eat sweet things really anymore. I have to be so careful.  Sadly, I have to admit that I ate the entire Cinnabun.  Its an embarrassing thing.  The funny thing is DH ate one too and he was just as sick as I was, but I am not certain he even finished his.  Gosh I wonder what was wrong with those things.  Talk about ruining a day. :X

Oh my goodness I love Japanese food.  My favorite is  Yakatori Rice Bowls and I am sure I didn't spell that right. Forgive me. :blush:

Wow, so I did some shopping for my partner tonight and ended getting a whole bunch of stuff! Who'd have thought that Gamestop would be such a perfect place to buy a bunch of Disney merch? I even put some things back because I found so many different things! I also bought myself glow-in-the-dark Batman pajama bottoms. Score!

sounds like everyone is having a great time. I am going this weekend to Disney store here in Winnipeg so I am hoping to find the last thing I need for my box, and then I can take photos and be ready to ship on the ship date.

And man I hope my things are just as epic as Lala's! You make me hope I am your partner as I want to know what is so epic lol. Who ever gets it better post asap so we can all find out the amazing most perfect item. Well back to work for me. I have to have a report done in 10 hrs and not even started. UGH!

New Question: Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?

I love pretty much anything fruity gummy or sour gummy! Cant go wrong with any sweet chewy candy! Im not particular about brands, in fact if you are shopping for me in another country I recommend you try to find me something that is only available there or something I cant find here in America! Im all about trying new things!  :blush: Just no cinnamon please!

Question:  Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
Im not picky! =)

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
I am actually looking for ponies that havnet made it over the the US or got skipped! If you *can* get ahold of one, I wouldnt mind any of these ponies being most of the $20 swap cost and maybe only one small cheap Disney item! Looking for Daisy Dreams FS, Fashion style Rainbow AJ, Starlight Glimmer brushable.

I am also looking for those tiny MLP g4 toys inside kinder eggs and the Rarity or Applejack metallic keychains!

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
I collect Re-ment doll food! Or anythng that looks close to it! I use them for pony/toy photography!

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list? Of course not! If it's something I want or would like, of course I would want it! ;)

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others? I specified what type of candy I like in my original post. :) Like Lala, I wouldn't mind trying new things! The only type of chocolate I know I don't like is Russel Stover (sp?). I'm not a fan of cheap chocolates. But I like Hershey's, Reece's, Cadbury, Lindt, etc.!

Totally happy with this!! Most of my partners extras are collection related, too!

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?

I really like Lindt truffles lately, but honestly I'm happy with any of the ones listed in my original post.

For extra purposes: Do you have a pony wishlist/what ponies are you looking for?
I'm not actively collecting ponies right now :/

What are your favorite ponies?
Toola Roola and Zecorra are my top two favs, but I also like Rarity.

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
Disney! Lol. I used to collect zebra stuff, but I haven't had room to add to that collection in a long time. Though I do still like zebra print stuff (just traditional black and white).
Oh! I do also love the Paw Patrol lol. They're nickelodeon, but they're just so cute!!! Any thing with dogs and cats on it I'd love actually.

Wowzerific pictures of your collection.  Amazing.  I am just in awe.  Just remember anyone that collects toys is not a hoarder.  There is a clause that says so in the definition. ;)  If you have a place to walk, a place to sit, a place to eat, a place to put your food and a place to sit guests you are not a hoarder.  And squeeeeeeee on my favorite item the Cheshire Cat!! Whooo hooooo!  If you do not have a place to put a new toy, Well, you are in trouble. :lol:

Awe, thankies guys! :-3 Luckily all these are on shelves so I can walk around my home! xD

So my hubby was naughty and bought me the Star Darling Libby doll! I told him no more please- especially the books as I'm in a Disney Swap on the Pony Forum! Here are all three of my dolls so far! Holding up on Vega and Leona, as these dolls are expensive for Jakks dolls! This show is on Disney Channel as little shorts, but they are based on a series of  books sort of like W.I.T.C.H. was!

Oh, and I watched Inside Out so I'm almost caught up on Disney movies now! (Do I have to watch The Good Dinosaur?)

I think I'm all caught up on questions.

Is there anything you forgot to add to your list?
I had initially forgotten Muppets and Studio Ghibli are a part of Disney. I've since added my favorite characters from those movies to my list.

Also I specified my favorite kinds of candy too.

Would you care if 90% of your Extras goodies were  Disney items from  your wanted list?
That's fine with me.

Is there one brand of candy you like better than others?
My favorites are Godiva, Ghirardelli, and Chuao. But I know those are expensive. I also enjoy Hershey, Nestle and M&M Mars chocolate just fine. I like to try new kinds of candy so if you have a local candy or favorite candy not included in my list and you think I'd like it. I'd love to give it a try!

What are your favorite ponies?
My favorite ponies are Luna and Fizzy, I have armies of both.

What other things do you collect/are you interested in?
My other collections are MLP, Monster High, Furry Bones, and Funko. I also collect Teddy Scares. But that collection is mostly complete a they haven't made many new bears in awhile.

So I had an extra pony on my partners wishlist... let's just say she's already wrapped.  :good:  Those looking for wrapping paper this particular one is from Toysrus 2014. They usually have quite a bit of variety for Disney paper but it's higher priced is all.

Hey guys I am shipping early due to something that came up. I know we are shipping on the 11th/15th but is there an issue if I ship my partners package on Friday? I was surprised with a huge event that I have to deal with and I know when I start it I will be gone for a few weeks. So is there an issue if I ship friday?

Oooh that's terrible!

I did buy myself something Disney-ish, but it was a $1 coloring book, so I didn't think it would be a big deal. Hey, if somehow I end up with two of the same coloring book then I'll have double the pictures to color! ;) It actually is a really nice quality Disney Fairies book. :)

I've noticed that too! I was kinda hoping that when the Minions craze died out the Frozen craze would die out with it so that we could get some different Disney merch... But nope. I'm not even seeing Inside Out merchandise in stores anymore, just Frozen! :(

The good dinosaur sold quite well at Toysrus this season. (my third year of seasonal hire) Well and of course Frozen madness :/  The new movie seemed to go over well with the little ones and dinosaur fans. I did enjoy it though the plot was rather flat for an adult. We did get a lot of phone calls about Inside out merchandise just we never had a whole lot on hand.

I loved it. I collect Disgust items. I really like Sadness in the movie, too. Anger is also pretty funny. I think it does a great job of exploring the way the mind works and the impact of emotions without getting bogged down into a bunch of science and terminology. It's cute enough that kids can like it, but has enough going on that an adult can enjoy it, too.

I just saw it and I liked it. Usually I would say that you can't know if something is "for you" until you've watched it. I would say that Inside Out is pretty standard Pixar with a range of emotions evoked.

Yes this is somewhat true.  I didn't want to go see the Maleficent movie at all.  Then one day I was bored and decided to rent it on pay per view.  I was like, "oh my gosh this is so good...why didn't I want to see this?" LOL  I really liked the film a lot.

I say go for it. A lot of us have holiday paper and I see no sense in not using it up.

Adding a question to that question...

Partner, I have Disney themed wrapping paper but it's not for one of the movies on your list. (I looked at getting appropriate paper but that seems unlikely.) Should I go ahead and use it, or would you prefer me to look at your favorite colors instead? I don't mind going either route.

I have a lot of movies I love that I didn't put on my favorites list.  So, I would say there are only a small amount I do not care for: Cars and Pooh.  So if you got Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, Birthday paper or whatever that is Disney themed and isn't Cars or Pooh...I will love it.  Then if you don't want to spend money on paper and you just really need to use your Cars or Pooh paper...don't stress over the package's dress.

I got all my stuff but one thing wrapped today.  I was so happy to pull my box together faster than expected.  I had so much fun going here and there finding stuff for the box.  Now I just have to make sure I don't add anything to it before I send it. :inlove:

I did manage to get out today though and made a start, got about half the disney stuff... aannd one disney extra i picked up because it was marked WAY down because of broken packaging, but as far as I can tell the item itself actually is not broken, so figured Id toss it in the box. :p

It's highly unlikely that you have wrapping paper from a movie that I don't like! And if it IS from Cars (my least favorite Disney franchise), I won't care too much. ;) I have two rolls of Disney paper that are not among my partner's top favorite movies, but I'm using them anyway because that's what I have and I don't really have anywhere that I can look for better wrapping paper. Kmart may have generic Disney Princess paper, but that's not very special... Anyway, yeah, I don't mind what theme it is when it comes to wrapping paper. :)

Do you wear jewelry?
I don't wear it, but I do like making it, using things like silver and swarovski crystal beads and such, and I just thought it might be fun to try and make something inspired by one of my partners favorite movies.

Do you wear jewelry?
I do, but I'm allergic to most metals. I can wear silver, and I can wear cloth, rope-like necklaces with wood pendants. Supposed "non-allergenic" jewelry is hit or miss with me. Sometimes I react to it and sometimes I can wear it without a problem. But silver jewelry is totally fine, and I make jewelry, too, and it is pretty easy to get earring parts that are sterling silver.

I like jewelry but I have trouble with clasps. Longer necklaces that can be slipped on are great, as are bracelets that can go "over" rather than clasp. Items that clasp with a button or magnetically can work, though. My ears are not pierced.

Believe it or not my mom found them at a local grocery store here called No Frills. We are stocking up because everyone here has tried (and likes) them. The ones she found are like those you sent me, Mkia9. I love them with a cup of hot chocolate. I bet they'd be good with the Peanut Butter Cup tea I got a while back, too.

I have a question about the Movie Club.

Speaking of that movie club. I just recently joined that. Can anyone tell me how you felt about the Movie club?  Did you like the selections you were given? I thought it was a great deal.  My Dh had a few reservations about it thinking they would send us a bunch of movie offers of things we had no interest in.  I thought surely we could find 3 movies in a year we would like to own.  So, if you have done this let me know what kind of titles you got to choose from throughout the year.  I am really curious.

I've been in the DMC for two years now. I initially signed up to upgrade all my VHS tapes to dvd/blu ray. It's a great deal when you buy in bulk. At least twice a year they do buy one movie get the rest 60% off once you hit VIP status, it's worth waiting for those. Up til then the deals are lower but it evens out in price if you buy at least 2-3 movies at a time. The little bonuses are fun like the lithographs I usually sell those for money back in my pocket. Got a few magnets free in the mail over the years as well. The VIP pin store is great once you can access it too so make sure to get a pin every time you order a movie at that point. You can always make money selling them or trade them if you do a lot of pin trading.

Usually each month is the newest release or release from the vault as the feature. Only a few times did I take two for the price of one deal. It was a lot easier at the beginning with the bundles when I had a lot more movies to upgrade. I've heard you can cancel and re subscribe as many times as you want to get the 5 for $1 each deal again but I haven't done that personally.

All the bad reviews I've seen were people that just forgot to respond to their feature title because they forgot about it and suddenly were charged for a movie they didn't want. As long as you are on top of things you should do fine.

Re: the Disney Movie Club -- JazzMatazz said it perfectly. The only poor reviews I've heard came from people who either forgot to respond to their monthly offer or who never bought their required number of movies. Usually the monthly offer is the newest movie to be released, so you don't even need to worry about pre-ordering! This month the offer is the two Aladdin sequels (which are probably my all time favorite Disney sequels), which are DMC exclusives, apparently. So, by the way, I WILL be getting that (even though I have both movies on DVD -- I want them on Blu-Ray, too!). And if you don't want the monthly offer you can always say no, but then order a different movie that you do want, and the whole Disney catalog is at your disposal. They even have more obscure, older movies like Pollyanna. :)

Thanks everyone for the great information on the Movie Club.  You guys are so helpful.  Now I think I understand how it will work.  I am looking forward to it.  All I had was VHS movies.  We quit watching them because all of the kids I use to take care of grew up, or the nieces and nephews outgrew them.  Then, I started longing to just sit and watch the classic Disney Movies again.  So, DH and I went to Book Stop and found Alice in Wonderland.  I could watch it over and over and over in addition to the non animated version I already have.  We ended up coming home with 5 movies and decided we needed to join the Disney club.  We were not ready to give up the joy of Disney movies and just didn't know it.  We have no working VHS in the house anymore and I know I should probably get Blueray, but right now I don't have a Blueray player.  So boooooo, I wish I did.  I would love the pin thing.  I really like the pins but I am a trinket person so, it makes sense that I could easily obtain a mountain of pins and be in bliss. LOL So, you can be sure I will be looking into that one at some point I guess when I get that VIP status thingy.

Mori_LeStrange, where in the world did you get that fabulous Cheshire Cat siggy? I am dying over it and have been since the first time I saw it. :biggrin:

New Question: Partner do you mind if your gifts are all wrapped in the same Disney paper or would you want different kinds of paper?

Someone mentioned the shop Disney Parks app? Wow there is so much neat Disney stuff they sell in the parks that you can't get at Disneystore.com

Argh, thanks to this swap I've been watching DuckTales recently. Guess what song I can't get outta my head now? :p

Other paper questions:
I'm good with any type of wrapping paper XD

Partner I have some promotional stickers from Disney Movie club. Would you mind if I used some of them to decorate your gifts after wrapping them as long as the sticker didn't give away was inside?
Sure! :)

Do you wear jewelry?
Afraid not! :P

I'm in the midst of three swaps right now, and I'll likely ship all my boxes out together just to make my parents' lives easier (since they take my stuff to the post office if it's too icy for me / drive me when the weather is good.) I'm also still waiting on an item I ordered off eBay, but I'm sure it'll get here soon. :)

Oh yes this happens to me. I will be done with my swap box and then find that perfect thing and have to get it.  I will admit that I have added those items to my boxes many times and rarely have I not done it.  Sometimes, I have just wrapped it separately and said, not part of the swap but a special gift because, I knew you would love it...on a note inside.  I have a very hard time with staying in my spending limits.  Other times I have sent the gift to that person as a surprise for a holiday that was coming up.  All sorts of fun!!  ROFLOL  I was just thinking to myself this Disney Swap has been the most fun I have had with a swap in a while.   A private Disney Swap sounds wonderful.  So, you have lots of options on what you can do either with this swap, another one or a fun RAODK. :lol:

Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: Start shopping!
Post by: ladybastilla on January 24, 2016, 08:51:21 PM
Yes. I can say this much: when Mkia and I swapped, the Disney part of our budget was "$25". Neither of us stuck to that, though. :lol: Disney items tend to be costly in general. They know they have stuff people want, and they're not afraid to charge for it. Throw in that certain movies / characters are harder to shop for than others and you've got a recipe for an overblown budget. :lol:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've learned two things in almost a year of swapping: (1) I'm happiest with what I send if I listen to my gut about whether I've got enough in the box. (2) I'm not worried about whether I'm overspending, because I've never had a box from anyone here that has ever disappointed me. One of the reasons I got into this and keep doing it is because everyone else clearly cares just as much as I do. :)

Oh yes, I, too, have never had a disappointing box. I once saw someone else get an under-budget swap box, but I hope that was a rare occurrence. My qualms were really only that the one item I want to get is almost the entire spending limit on its own... but we'll see. I'm still shopping around to see if there are other things I might get instead. :) And you're right -- Disney stuff is pretty expensive! Though I've gotten some good deals so far, I think. :D

I think the hardest thing to go through is to be forgotten completely with a swap.  This happened to me.  My partner  never sent a box to me at all.  It wasn't here and had nothing to do with ponies but something else I collected.  The second most difficult thing was to receive everything I gave someone as a swap box back in another swap.  Stuff was just tossed in a box with no wrapping and no care with no card.  This kind of thing really is hard to go through.  I think those two events really shaped how I do my boxes. I could not imagine making someone feel the way I did. In spite of how awful that was,  I am very thankful someone stepped forward and made a box for me.  My box was not their responsibility but they stepped forward and did one anyway.  That was so sweet and thoughtful in spite of all that happened. 

Disney stuff is very pricey especially collectible stuff.  One can't get a lot on a tiny budget. Its kind of like when I go to the Japanese store in China Town.  I can't come out of that store without having spent a minimum of 50.00.  It never happens. :lol:

Yes I love making up swap boxes.  I am always willing to help out with that.  That lady that went to all that trouble to make me a box after that happened.  Well, I will pay it forward as often as I can.  It really meant so much ya know.  There are some very nice, thoughtful people in the world.

Great teaser pic mkia9.  :)

I bought something that has a price tag on it. I'm afraid I might not be able to remove the price tag without damaging the item. Would it be okay to leave the price tag on in this situation or should I try to get it off?

if it was me, i wouldn't mind if the price was still on, but i also am the type who doesn't mind if the items packaging is slightly damaged xD since i always remove things anyway. :p

An alternate solution, if leaving a tag on bugs you, may be to take a piece of washi tape / decorative paper / a sticker and put that over it to block it. Or you could use a good quality black marker to color it in. It depends if the item is something you think will be wanted MIB or not.

Yes I would use the black marker or tape over it too.  It depends though on whether that will bleed through and ruin something.  So, the tape or a sticker is a perfect solution.

Stickers work perfect! Especially if its a sparkliy sticker!!!!

Waiting for stuff to arrive in mail still, I think that big snow storm had pushed my mail back a bit! Totally fine as long as it arrives before ship date! It hasn't moved much since the snow storm LOL.

Okay well this is how it always goes with me. I have my box all packed.  Teaser photo taken and then finally after all of this time of looking, I find it.  This wonderful item I just have to add to the box.  So, its unpacking and repacking, too much fun shopping for the epic swap box, taking a new teaser and packing again.  Apparently, taping up my swap box is not going to stop me from throwing in extra stuff.  I think I have Swapatitis.  Its an impulsive condition marked by overwhelming joy purchasing items for a swap box.  Its like eating an entire chocolate cake, 12 wonderful cupcakes and a bag of chocolates. LOL  I am so guilty.  Partner I hope you love your box.  I can't wait to send it.

My last update before the parks, I know I'll have wifi but really I'm staying at their campgrounds I don't see it being all that great. It's bad enough I'll have to drain my phone with their My Disney Experience App. I have a few things I'm still watching online but I'm hoping to pick up the rest while at the parks. I know that is definitely going to put me over budget just due to pricing. lol Hopefully they have character items I'm looking for.

Post by: ladybastilla on January 29, 2016, 12:13:42 PM
The majority of what I've ordered is listed as arriving on Monday. There's still one more thing I'm thinking of getting. Better hurry up and order it if I'm gonna do it. It's local enough that I'm not too worried on timing yet, but if I get my extras, etc. this weekend I don't want them hanging around here too long after that.

Overall I'm quite pleased with how this box is coming together. I hope my partner likes it when they get it. :)

Well, I just ordered what I thought would be my last main item, but then on the way to work I noticed that Kmart is (finally) going out of business, so who knows what I'll find when I go there! That's actually where I was planning to go to search for extras, so...

Post by: ringwraith10 on January 29, 2016, 09:19:27 PM
Wow, so Kmart was still mostly fully stocked (I think they just announced their going out of business sale today), but there were noooooo good Disney items! I saw a lot of Disney Jr., Mickey Mouse, and (of course) Frozen, but that was it. At least I got some candy for my partner at a small discount. :) And slightly off topic -- they had no good ponies or Monster High dolls, either. :(

I thought about looking at kmart.. but ours is sooo so gross -_- literally the roof is so leaky that they have water collection tubs in almost half the aisles, and more often than not, water actually dripping directly onto merchandise..  id be more worried about mold and stuff.. I wont be sad to see ours gone, its unfortunate for the lose of jobs though.

Also I THINK im done shopping.. I might try and find some nondisney extras.. as so far all the extras are also disney. I'm waiting for some things to ship, and I still need to shop for sweets... Discovered today, that im also going to need a bigger box. xD

Also partner, I hope it's not terribly tacky, but the tape I Plan on using to seal your box is disney themed, but is a theme that I can't see myself using for anything else in the future. Since it's practically a new roll of tape, (literally only used a small amount on your box) I'm planning on just tossing the rest of it in the box as.. yet another, disney extra. xD I hope this is ok.

ROFLOL thats just so awesome.  Tape up the box and then add the tape?  Can you tell me how you plan to magically make this happen?  It sounds like you have stellar super powers and I want to know how you can add to an already taped up box.  :rofl: :thumb: :hearts:

In this case it was a charm that i had planned on using in something that I was going to make. But if it doesnt cancel, I wont be too bummed, it was only $2 so its not as if its a huge lose.

That's awesome. My grandparents use to get me out of school for a month every January, take me to Florida, and one of the things we did there was go to Disney World. I've been to the Magic Kingdom once and to MGM (now Hollywood studios) four times. Also, last year my mom said that the next time we go to Florida again (we went in 2009 and 2010--and they went in 2011 but I stayed here because BF was coming to visit) we're going to Disney again because I want to re-experience it as an "adult". (Quotes because I don't exactly fit the typical mode for that--more like experiencing it as a really big kid, but I think that'll be awesome just the same. :lol: )

Hey, anime fans! Have you guys ever read kilala princess? Its an anime about a die-hard Disney fan Japanese girl who finds out she is a long lost princess and she meets all the other Disney princesses! I forgot alllllll about it and started reading it all over again! It looks like the manga is online!

Oooh, fancy! There aren't any candy-specific stores around here...

Yesterday I tried to find some more little things for my partner but all I could find was more Frozen merch! There's just so much! I also looked at greeting cards and found a lot of really cool Disney ones, but they were all birthday themed. :/ Honestly, though, I'm already over-budget, so as soon as my last item arrives in the mail my box should be good to ship. :D

That Manga sounds cool, Lala. Definitely an interesting premise. :)

Mom and I hit the stores together today and had an absolute blast shopping. I found some yummy treats and cute extras to round out the rest of what I purchased. I hope my partner doesn't mind that a couple slightly Valentine themed things crept in. It was hard not to shop for you, too, when I was getting sweets for the two Valentine themed swaps I'm doing. :)

Everything I have for you is either here now or should arrive tomorrow according to Amazon. I have a lot of wrapping to do in the next week or so, but odds are good I'll get your box out a bit before the due date. We shall see. :)

Ooooooh my dear. The benefits of being head overnight coordinator of the toy department. I found some thing amazing for my partner, and I'm buying it as an inspulse. I'm going to rummage through my partners collection photos for it and if they don't have it then I hit jackpot! I LOOOOOOOOVE it. The packaging is overboard though.

Question: This awesome item I found for ya partner, the packaging would kill me on shipping can I take the figures out of the package and wrap them in bubblewrap? It would save me about $10 in shipping xD

Lol, for me that may be better, since I sometimes forget to take toys out of the packaging (as in, I'll buy two of the same pony so I can un-package one of them and then they both stay in their packaging forever!).

I really tried to put a variety of many of my partner's interests into the box, and it's really more of a toy box, but I hope they like it, there are a few non toy items as well though.

Partner, I ordered you one last thing from a local seller. Aside from that, I'm going to get started on wrapping the rest of your goodies while I wait for that. Once that is here, I'll get your box out the door. :D I just couldn't resist adding this one last item. I think it ties everything together.

Go ahead and open it. I've sent and received little Disney figures before and that seems to be the rule of thumb. They have cute packaging, but it's bulky and impractical for mailing. Plus, saves me the trouble of having to do it when it gets here. A lot of those things are a pain to get out of the box. :lol:

Go for it just take a photo of it first for me please so I can see it. Also if you could Flatten the box, I would love the art work from the box if possible. I don't need any of the innards but I love to collect the art work! =^_~= I understand huge shipping fees!

It is actually what I am encountering as well. I huge amount of shipping fees. But my package is wrapped and put together and I have photos of it but I will post them later

I thought of another question Patner do you mind if I use an old box from a jewelry store to wrap one of your items in? I don't want you to be disappointed that it's not jewelry when you open it.


Ponyfan

That would be ok with me  :)

Sent your package out today partner!! I know it's a little early, but I was shipping my Valentine swap package and I already had yours all wrapped and ready, so I figured I'd send it along!!


Sora I'll pm you with tracking in just a little bit :)



ETA:
Deboxing is fine. And wrap in whatever box works for you, partner! I'm not picky :)

 :biggrin:  This is totally fine with me.  My partner is getting all sorts of interesting boxes in their swap box.  They don't have much to do with what is inside them either.

Checking in from epcot. I bought the rest of my partners things today. Might pick up a few over budget extras vs me overspending on myself. ;) I've been really good so far and only spent the majority of my $ on food and a coin book since my childhood one is now filled.

How many people are in denial about going way over the spending limit xD I keep finding little things here and there and Ill say "well it's only $3 or $5" ... only that's happened quite a few times now and well.. I suppose a couple dollars here and there add up.. but hey math was never my strongest subject so I'm going to assume that I'm TOOOTALY on track, budget wise. ;)  :angel:

What budget?  I didn't know there was a budget.  I just got what I wanted.  Where in the world did you hear that?  I can't manage budgets.  That is why I have over 400 ponies.   :drunk:

Question: Would you mind if I wrap one of your gifts in a box from a jewelry store?

Go for it. :) I always open boxes to find out what's inside during a swap. It's always best not to assume they are what the box says unless it's obviously swap related. (And even then I'd open since I'm generally not an MIB collector.) I've sent stuff in Mystery Mini boxes, snack boxes and who knows whatelse in the last year. Some stuff needs a box or it's impossible to wrap. :lol:

So, do you think you went over budget?

There's absolutely no doubt I went over. I always go over. But I never assume my partner is going to, nor do I expect it. The way I see it, retailers don't know I'm working with an insert-budget-here allowance, and I tend to have to tailor my spending based on what I want to buy. I also agree with you about little things adding up, True. The important thing, I think, is that I never spend to a point where I would ever hurt my own finances. I do know when to stop if I need to.

When I buy for a box, my process tends to work like this: Core Theme (in this case Disney) > Extras (physical) > Treats. I plan my boxes around these three separate components and I budget for each individually, based on my partner's likes, the swap theme, etc. I tend to plan my core purchases carefully and think about them for a few days (when possible) before I start purchasing. Sometimes extras are planned in that more meticulous way and get bought along with the core stuff, sometimes they get purchased with the treats. It's when I go to get stuff locally that I tend to get into trouble. Anyone who's seen one of my boxes knows I love to send treats. :lol: And I have no hesitation in sending other little odds and ends, which is where random costs sometimes come in. If something isn't very pricey and I think "Oh! (Name) would love that!" odds are good it's going in the box if it's little and not going to alter the size of box I plan to use.

Box size tends to be how I keep myself under some semblance of control. I tend to like the boxes that my Arcade Block come in as a first resort (I think they're 8 x 11 x 5?) I will go up a size if I absolutely have to, but I'm really, really fussy about choosing a box. When my partner gets it, I want it to be full. :lol:

That may have been more info than you were looking for, but I don't get a lot of opportunity to talk about how I put my boxes together and I put a lot of time into them. So I find it fun being able to give a bit of insight into how my process works. I get a lot of enjoyment out of all the aspects of swapping--visiting with everyone and getting to know them, researching new things if I'm not familiar with someone's interests, shopping, choosing a beautiful design to tie the box together, receiving my box, finding out what everyone else got and what my partner thought of what I chose... I don't worry that much about extra costs involved, because since I love pretty much everything about swapping those additional costs practically pay for themselves.
Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: Start shopping!
Post by: True on February 03, 2016, 06:51:13 AM
I love hearing the thought process behind how people put their boxes together! I.. I kinda dont have one specifically, xD especially for this sort of swap. I don't have access to a disney store, and I don't have a LOOT of resources for online shopping at the moment, though I did get one or two things online for this swap.

SO I make a list of my partners things, with key points, things I know I can find, and things I'm not sure about. Then I just hit up the stores and shop. xD There were a few movies that I wasn't sure that I would find anything for, but then I did and was SUPER excited about it. lol

I was out with my mom yesterday and had another one of those moments where.. "OMG that would be perfect! and its ONLY $5!" xD I still MIGHT go back for it? just because I had tried to find something for this specific character and so far had been unlucky, at least with anything that would fit inside the box haha.
Title: Re: 2016 Disney Swap: Sign-Ups: Start shopping!
Post by: tulagirl on February 03, 2016, 07:12:36 AM
The first thing I usually do in a swap is save the wanted list on my computer so I can refer to it a lot.  I make a little note for myself on what the main gifts are going to be, extras and candy.  I  never consider candy an extra. I am strange I know.  Anyway, I decide after looking over the wanted list what the favorite items might be if its mentioned. I try to go for those. If its a theme box, I really try to get something from each theme favorite if I can.  Sometimes I might not find enough good things in a certain category.  I try to get a picture of what my partner really loves and read between the lines on things they really would want from their list.  I will usually purchase several things in case something arrives broken, damaged or who knows what.  I make lists on everything that is coming and check them off as they go into the box.  Then its about this time that I start looking for extras and I always go over with extras because they are fun to me.  Once I have everything I try to wrap it in a paper I think my partner would like based on interests.  I almost always have to have a larger box.  For me its all about packing so nothing breaks or gets damaged.  So, I go with a larger box so I can use packing peanuts or air pillows.  I always go over on my boxes because, I love to give.  Sometimes I have been known to add something silly and off the wall in a box just for humor.  I do plan my international boxes a bit differently as I tend to stick with box size on those and plan accordingly so I don't have to send it priority mail.  As I can never afford it and boy the prices for that have gone so high. I usually send registered mail for swaps that are international.

Post by: Mkia on February 03, 2016, 07:39:42 AM
Did I overspend? Oh absolutely. I try to forget how much I spent hahah. I was probably close to double the budget when everything is said and done. I have a problem haha.

As for how I put a box together. I save my partners Wishlist to my phone so I have access at all times. Then I start thinking about the big gifts and look for those. As I'm out at the grocery store, target, etc I am always looking for extras. And usually end up getting -something- every time I'm out. As for when I'm done? It's more of a feeling. I look at all the things I have and if I feel the box is good at that point, I'll quit "looking" but if I "find" something while out, I'll still get it haha.

Would you mind if I wrap one of your gifts in a box from a jewelry store?
Not at all! :)

As for going over the budget... Oh yes, definitely! XD I keep finding things my partner would like, and then I end up adding them. I tend to take my partner's list with me whenever I go out and, if I see something I think they'd like, I wind up buying it usually!

I got a slip from UPS today saying they had a package for me (but they didn't leave it at my door) -- this was probably a book I ordered, but I have no idea what package it actually was...

I was just going to say that my mother just called to inform me my dad who has liver cancer is going to have to have a surgery that is going to pretty much keep him in a bed for a month.  He also has a surgery soon that will keep him in bed a week.  So, things have turned upside down for me in like a matter of minutes.  Plus, my neck and arm are really hurting badly and I have to rest them.  Now how will I do this? I have no clue. :huh:  No worries though, my partner's box will go out.

If dad has to have the surgery like next week can I ship my box right before he goes into surgery?  It would be shipping early. Is that okay?  I figure it might be easier for me to send it early than accidentally end up sending it late. Yikes I have never done that before ever.

tulagirl -- There really is no early... several people have already shipped their boxes and I'll be shipping tomorrow. The deadline is just the last day to ship, but with your extenuating circumstances you may be able to work something out with Sora if you miss the deadline... at least you're keeping us informed!

Oh I won't miss the deadline at all.  I will ship early to keep from having that happen.  I just didn't know if it was okay to ship early if I needed to. I am still not sure what date dad is going in next week and when all this is going down, but they are out of town so that adds some fun to the mix.  So, I hope its okay if I need to ship it out like by Monday, I am okay to do so.

I'm loving the previous teasers so pretty! I'll probably be mailing out tomorrow or Monday just have to see how it goes. To answer this question:
So, do you think you went over budget? Oh most definitely but within reason. I had a lot of  fun putting this box together and don't regret going over the budget like I did.  Like ladybastilla mentioned, I don't do to the point it hurts me financially. It's just to the point where I feel that I've put together something nice for someone to enjoy.
Tulagirl, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. *hugs*

I love all these teasers! I am still looking for this last item... I really hope I can find it in time! xS It would be  awesome if I found it, my box would be so complete!

I will have to ship on the 11th, because that is my next payday. I'm having problems with my bank card atm- I think its because I've been shopping a ton with my credit card. I woke up to an email and something called PWL*PLEXUSWORLDWIDE in subscriptions (its fraud) charged $1157.33, then another charge for $856.47, then $704. Luckily my bank caught this before I did, reported it as fraud and will later remove the charges, deactivated my card #, and now I have to wait for my new card to come in the mail before I buy something.  Stupid scammers wtf this is crazy random but im happy my bank is so good LOL!  At least I have about $37 in cash in my wallet!

Mkia, just in case your partner is me: Mom will be checking the mailbox before we go to the post tonight (didn't get to do it when I wanted to, but we're definitely going after she's done work) since I think I have another parcel slip in there already. If it's someone else, I hope they get it soon so we can all see what was inside. :)

LOL that sounds cute.  I didn't put plushies on my list, but I do like them especially smaller ones.  Sometimes they are really expensive so I didn't ask for one, but I was telling my DH the other day I think I must have at some point a Cheshire cat plushie and a Marie from Aristocats plushie.  I have so much stuff and the stuffed animals are harder for me to figure out where to put them.  They are just sitting on top of furniture in the sea of Cabbage Patch dolls and occasionally they visit various rooms in the house for fun.  I do have a Bambi though and I just love that one.  Its an older plushie.

Oh I love your teaser Icecreamgirl.  That looks like a wonderful swap box of loot.   :)

DH Dropped my box off at the post office today through the bin.  So, tomorrow it will go out.  Can't wait for my partner to get it.

Mkia9: I know I am dying over the Marie Sticker.  Squeeee

Thank you Mori.  Things are definitely very difficult for us as a family right now.  He is in so much pain. Sniff

Great teasers everyone. The Tinkerbell paper was the only kind of Disney paper I had.  I did end up having to use other boxes to put things in so I'm going to include a note for my partner to open all the boxes because what's on the box might not be what's inside.


So, do you think you went over budget?



Maybe a little. :)

I just got home this morning from driving straight through in shifts from Florida back to Wisconsin. I'm hoping to wrap up everything and get a teaser tomorrow. Money wise I went over budget but it is smaller than most of my swap boxes I've put together in the past. There were so many things I wanted to buy for my partner at the parks that was double the budget on just a few items!

What fun you must have had shopping there. I wish I had been there with you.  I went over on my box too a lot, I think many of us did.  Joy of shopping for the swap box.  Its fun to send a friend special goodies.  I bet you are tired though.

Here is my teaser! It will be shipped tomorrow, assuming weather is agreeable enough for me to leave (i need to pick up things from the library also so *crossing fingers)

Not pictured is the Sweets and the card! I usually add the sweets in, literally, on my wait to the PO so I'm not tempted to sneak one or two. xD

Got my swap box today from ponyfan! pictures soon. I hope my partner likes their swap box, it dawned on me this morning I didn't add extra padding to my shipping box.  :doh: Half asleep that morning rushing out the door. Thankfully everything in there is already of the soft and squishy variety. The one big item's box was already Damaged in Disney Store's shipping.   :enraged: Because they shipped the item in a box 3 times it's size with like one strip of those bubble air packets.

This happens to me a lot, but since I debox everything I don't usually get too upset.  This is a huge problem that I hope they fix. It was featured on the news recently that it is a problem that is causing a huge amount of returns.

Excellent teaser Mori!! ;)

My husband was VERY nice to me and let me use his debit card to ship out my box since my card is still arriving in the mail! I looked allllllll over the place for that final item with no luck, and today I wanted to ship and get it out of the way! I hope you really love your box, partner! I had to use a mix of bags, bubble wrap, and a ton of packing paper since Walmart has no more boxes in the size I need but I taped the math out of it in a PERFECT rectangle shape with with fragile stickers just in case so hopefully you receive it that way! There are tons of good things inside- dont judge it by the size!  :P You will now its from me because it will have Hello Kitty tape on it.

PARTNER- Be very carefull how you open the box- I made you some cute little things inside you could accidentally cut! I would use scissors just to get under the "skin" of one of the corners and cut along the crease of the package. Try not to cut the bubble wrap!

 * If my partner Im sending gifts to wants to do a private swap with me later I can TOTALLY do that since I couldnt buy everything I wanted for my partner because of my problems with my card. There is still soooooo much I wanted to buy for my partner, and I have a few things in my cart I still really wanted to buy from Disney World since my partner probably hasnt been there before! Stupid scammers, stupid credit card fraud. Im so mad this happened during this amazing swap! Two weeks and my card STILL isnt here but it is shipped!

I had so much fun shopping for my partner though! I cant believe I found this perfect item and earlier. I was watching TV and their FAVORITE character just so happened to appear on the screeen- AS I WAS WRAPPING A GIFT OF THAT CHARACTER! OMG that coincidence was too unreal!  :haha:

Lovely teasers, Lala and Mori. My box is shipping out tonight as well. My mom's taking it down to send it on its way in about half an hour. We are very fortunate to have a spot where we can ship our stuff in the evening when she's done work. We'd never make it to the post otherwise. :lol: (She works until 4:30 and the actual PO closes at 4.) Anyway, looks like everything is coming together and we should have more boxes arriving soon. :)

I apologise that I haven't been too active! It was due to medical reasons (and some medication that didn't agree with me at all, so I had to stop taking it).

But enough of that! Teaser time! Don't mind the erased parts, they weren't part of the box :P I sent this out today!

By the way, partner: There's another item in one of these items. If that makes sense!

Ahhhh partner- I totally forgot to pick you up some Knott's Berry Farms cookies! x( My grocery store sells them in little sample packs! I dont think you have had them before as you are far east but they are sold everywhere here in Texas and they are so buttery and delicious!!!

I am really hardcore consodering sending my partner a part two box when my card arrives in the mail (if that's allowed?) I feel like my box is underwhelming (part of me is worried...) and a lot of merchandise I REALLY wanted to buy for my partner is seriously showing up like everywhere now! After the swap haha go figure! That's always everyone's luck- finding amazing stuff for their partner AFTER the swap :lmao:

I don't know what the deal is suddenly, but everything I have in the mail currently seems to be acting up... I have one thing I ordered for myself, the tracking has placed it in San Juan of  all places... but then I go to check and see where my partners swap box is and... the tracking has it going through MI and being in the literal city where my partner lives.. but then at the very top it says "accepted at 12:01am feb 16 traverse city" (its not even the 16th here yet!) >.< I really hope its an error and it meant my partners city, because I don't know how it would end up back here, after having traveled to their city first..

I feel like the po is trolling me hard right now >.< Iv been extremely lucky with post.. having nothing gone missing so far... and I just hope that luck hasnt run out! *fingers crossed my partner gets mail tomorrow* :c

*phew!*
My partners box once again says its in their city, still not sure why it switched to my city for a day? But it also says its out for delivery, so partner, you should have some disney mail today!

I wanted to come and say I got my partners present and it is amazing. And to find out my partner has not gotten my gift yet.

I am worried now as we sent it on something earlier. Ugh I thought it was the first but I am not so sure now. Pain killers you fail me! Please keep me posted.

I should mention I am not around often due to being on bed rest after a bad spill on the ice broke me. (ice and stairs do not mix) So I hope to check back as the pain is low.

Oh my goodness, I hope you're feeling better soon Phynix. Ice and anything besides soda or skates don't mix (and the latter only does if someone learns to use them.) That sounds like it must have been very scary / painful. :( This time of year can be absolutely treacherous outdoors. Stay safe, everyone!

Jeeeze, I hope you feel better!!!! Ouchies!!!! So weird to imagine ice out! Its 84° in F here!!! 26°C, its so warm out.

I'm kind of excited to get my box and mine should be arriving to my partner soon!

I'll remind my family to take a look at our mailbox tomorrow, just to make sure nothing has shown up here that we didn't see. We are part of a community mailbox at the end of our street so it's a bit of a walk / drive to check it out, especially this time of year.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that's me. :lol: I got a slip yesterday to let me know I have a parcel at the post to pick up. Mom's grabbing it for me when she's done work.

Guess was off, but in the best way possible. My partner is Nemubones. We've meant to do a swap for ages and it was almost a year ago that I got her name for Easter Swap. Opening now, brag should be up soon. :)

... Which means we've got another person here who needs to check their post. :cheer:

That happens to me too, a lot of times. I'll just get so in the zone and locked onto someone's interests that stuff they might have wanted will keep catching my eye. I'm use to it because it happens to me for family and close friends naturally. But it can be maddening when I find a "perfect thing" just after shipping a box out. :lol:

Has my partner gotten their box yet!? Ahhh I really want my partner to open the mickey mouse sticker present! (I got lucky and found another of the same item and got it for myself- so when my partner gets theirs we will both have the same item and it will have that "friendship bracket" effect to it! I haven't seen anyone else with this item, and they are HTF! (The two I have bought are the only ones I have seen in store and I have been to a LOT in stores!)

 LOL I still haven't checked the mail yet, I was going to check it Saturday but Pokemon Day, I went up to the office yesterday... realized it was Sunday LOL!

I'm still working on the last item of the mini bonus box I want to send my partner (I have been through sooooo many boxes at work looking for this super rare item that appears randomly in cases)

I'm so excited to see zootopia Thursday!

Oh no! I hope we don't need to gather a mob and storm the post office looking for that package! I've got my pitchfork and torch ready just in case, though -- I ordered something online that was labeled "handle with care" and "do not bend" and guess what my mail person did? Bent it in half and crammed it in the mailbox (along with some books that she had also somehow bent in half). Arrgh!

This happened to me when I shipped a box to Australia. I had to file a claim on a missing box and all of the sudden it started moving again.  I would file a claim.  No matter if its in the USA you shipped or out, filing a claim will get them to working on finding it.  It worked for me, but my swap partner had to wait over a month for her box.  Don't just wait for something to happen.  Start working on it in every way possible you can.  You will be pleased with the results hopefully.  I once had a Texas seller send me a box and it took nearly a month for me to get it because, it got stuck.  I filed a claim on that one also for missing box.  That finally showed up too. ;)

Thanks, that's actually a good idea! I think I still have the receipt too, and definetly the customs form because I feel like something bad would happen with my mail again. Man, stupid postage. Im so angry. If it wasn't so expensive to ship overseas I would have selected a flat rate option but that was waaaay out of my budget... I feel like every time I ship international a package it gets lost or really late :( My friend in Japan still hasnt gotten her xmas package from me but she got a letter I sent recently! That logic lol

Oh, also my BreakPoint booster box is like 5 weeks late but recently arrived in NYC! Jeeze is there something with the weather I'm missing that could be affecting this!?

I don't know about anybody else, but when I ship overseas my stress level skyrockets. I've never had a parcel go missing *knocks on wood* but I always worry that will happen. I love sending and receiving boxes from far away, but the risk makes it very hard for me to relax when I do that. I hope your situation gets sorted out soon.

So I went up to the post office I went to with my customs stub and recipt. They tracked it and that was all they said they could do because it was on transit to the destination  :cry:

Never shipping  international again, this is just too stressful. First to my friend in Japan now this! I really want my partner to have their box! There are some good things inside and I'm going to be heartbroken if its lost in the ocean or something....

Sora I contacted the PO again :( they tracked it and it STILL says chicago last updated this morning! They are putting in a word for an investigation in Chicago to see just WHERE the package might be... it says destination UK on my tracking...but that's all they can do since the package isn't in my city. I asked for a refund and to open up some kind of claims inquiry but they said its been over 30 days and they can't. You have no idea how upset I am at this american postal service ....why can't I have Japan post. They are crazy accurate. US mail seems to always get lost, I hate it.  :wail:

Should I work on making you another box or wait a little longer!? Its NOT fair you didn't get your box! I never get legitamately pissed off but i kicked over some stuff at work earlier out of frustration. I had such good things in there too! I still don't want to spoil what it was it in case it arrives....but one of those items you can only get it here in the US and it was wow awesome. *my panic button is being pressed perfusley*

I go to track it just now, and it says "tracking for United Kingdom is UNAVAILABLE". I go to other websites for Int'll tracking and it says, "could not find tracking for (insert my tracking here). What. What does that even mean!? Did it take so long that they just gave up on it!? WHAT THE ACTUAL *BLEEP*.

And its past 30 days so I can't make a claim or get a refund!? Another reason for me to dislike the country I live in. It cant even handle their mail right. Why can't I have been born in Japan that has good postal service. So are all those precious items I had inside gone forever now!? I NEVER get legitimately mad guys, you know me. Oh boy am I MAD. Storming back up there today, going to beg for answers. They had oooooone job! Chicago.....just whyyyyy.

That's awful. The postal service there sounds like if a car insurance company would only 'fix' your car if it isn't 'broken'. In other words, it makes no sense. I am so sorry that you are going through so much frustration. :(

Nope :( I was up there late last week and the package is no longer trackable through the customs form. This guy was a real prick and said, "you should have upgraded to so-and-so with tracking" and I actually got really pissed and said I couldn't afford the $60 in shipping. The post office emplyee was all snooty like it wasn't a big deal to pay that much just to ship a package, the lady behind me even said "it cost me blah blah to ship this letter to Germany, for a package that's not bad." WHAT!?? I blew my lid and even did the whole "I live on my own and dont have a mom or dad to pay for my stuff" thing because I wanted him to feel like crap for just assuming I could afford that. I already spent close to $30 which is already crazy for just shipping Don't even get me started on how much it was to ship it through UPS..... USPS was my cheapest option.  My hours are cut and work and one would THINK for $25 one could get a refund of some sort. NNOPE  I HATE REPEAT HATE THIS MAIL SERVICE. Seriously!? I can't get a refund after 30 days!!???? It takes two weeks to a month for international mail to even arrive- how the heck am I supposed to know with in 30 days if its lost or not!? SORA NEEDS HER GIFTS.

I'm reaaaaaaaaaally feeling that maybe the goods we stolen out of it ( this is american mail later all-its happened to me plenty of times) or its lost, thrown in the trash somewhere. Trying to be optimistic but I just cant with this situation. Sora, I promise you will be getting a box! If I have to send items to you in small partners through a better carrier then I will! You organized this whole thing for us so you need to get an amazing box at the very least!

OH and to make this week even BETTER- my card information got stolen and our bank account is locked....AGAIN. I've contacted the bank and even the police and filed this long report with all this crap I brought in after waiting almost and hour because it has to be someone that knows my SS number- the only person alive that knows it plus my name change and birthday is someone I know in my family who just so happens to be moving to the US in April and pulled something similar to my sister and I in the past. Hmmmmm. :pout:

Sorry this is long.... I'm pissed and need to vent a little. My life is crazy stressful right now.

I totally hear you about crazy shipping prices. If I ship within Canada, it's generally under $20. The most I've paid for to ship a parcel to the US was $35 but that thing was -huge-. The moment I go to ship overseas, though, the price can be anywhere from $50-75 Canadian. Which really sucks because I *love* shipping internationally. I've never had a parcel go missing *knock on wood*, but I'm always really paranoid when I send something that I can't track in detail.

That guy at the post office needs a swift kick in the pants. :lol: What a total jerk! Regardless of what shipping option is chosen, the items one sends should get to the recipient in a reasonable timeframe. If they do not then heck yes you should get a refund on the shipping--the post office failed to do its job correctly. :angry: The fact that this isn't so is bad enough on its own. The 30 day thing, as you said, is absurd when discussing an international parcel. And that creep who mocked what shipping option you chose should have kept his mouth shut. (It's bad enough that he's the messenger of the postal service's failure--does he really want to egg you on? Silly little man...Sorry all, I have no patience for that sort of behavior.)

Again, I am incredibly sorry to hear that this situation is being such a total nightmare (and that you're having grief about your card again--man, when it rains it pours...). Unfortunately I don't have any answers for you. Just sympathy. I *will* be looking into how things work here so something like this will never happen to me, though. *sigh* It's so frustrating when the way services are set up makes it seems that you are serving them rather than the other way around.

:( :( :( I would probably be even angrier than you if I were in that situation! You did everything right -- it's the postal service's fault that the package got lost. And I've sent mail to Germany plenty of times and it didn't cost much at all, so that weird lady behind you (who should have been minding her own darn business) was just being ridiculous.

Oh no I did not realize we had this going on here with a box.  This is something I always fear happening and I totally know what you mean about the shipping.  I can't get out of the post office with international for under 50.00 here in Texas. I don't know why.  I can tell you this, even if you had upgraded with the tracking that doesn't mean anyone would have bothered to update the tracking.  I quit spending that money when I realized none of my packages were being tracked anyway.  I was still waiting two months for things to get to people having paid much more for the shipping.  I feel awful for you that you have this and your partner has not gotten their box.  Hugs to both of you.

I'm sorry your package is lost in limbo. I'd try talking to the next town over's postal service if you can. We've had a few crappy employees around here that I've gone to the next town over where everyone is pretty reasonable to work with. What a lot of people don't realize 'lost' mail gets shipped to the big Auction house the USPS has. My dad still talks about when it used to be held in Chicago heck I think half of our tools in the shop are from lost mail auctions. I want to say it's held in Texas now but it's really infuriating and interesting to read about. Like especially since my post office is "under funded" can't afford things when where does all that auction money go then? They aren't even open on Saturdays anymore!! Seriously it sucks cause I always forget that they aren't open despite the official website saying otherwise.

Post by: tulagirl on March 30, 2016, 09:10:39 AM
Yea and when they do the auctions they don't allow the person to see what is inside the box either.  They just make a bid on the box.  Its wrong on so many levels its not even funny.  Texas mail right now is bad.  I have had a lot of problems.  I would file a complaint with the post master general.  I did this with a package that went missing and three months later it was delivered.  So, make a fuss girl.  Don't take those behind the counter nasty tempered words for it. Fight fight fight...it can't hurt.  There is a big possibility it is not in our country anyway since it made it to customs.  I think it left the USA and got stuck somewhere possibly the customs form came off or it got damaged in some way and they don't know where it is supposed to go that can happen.

Wow that has changed a lot since my dad went to those back in the I'm assuming 60's or 70's. He knew exactly what he was bidding on and the condition it was in.

Post by: tulagirl on March 31, 2016, 10:07:40 AM
Yea from what I saw on the news just today it has changed.  They are now just auctioning off similar items in bulk.  So a huge box of books would go for 2000.00.  Video game stuff would all go together.  The USPS says that insurance must be purchased so you can get your money back on a missing package. If it goes missing in the USA and they can't find it because: box broke, label torn off, not enough tape and package fell apart and contents lost, and who knows what else...it gets sent to Georgia for auction.  So, I guess you know what you are getting now, but its in bulk.

I want to say tape is a huge issue. I can't tell you how many packages I get from people outside the USA that only put one strip of tape on a box and it doesn't hold.  Tape a box a lot.  Put tape down the middle, put tape on the edges, and put two cross rows of tape completely around the box when  you ship out of the country.  Boxes I get always are open, tape is not holding and the boxes are smashed.  I rarely get an international box that is not in this condition.  My stuff is usually fine inside, but this is how stuff gets lost.  I think we all underestimate the amount of gorillas that live in the USPS and other postal carriers that jump up and down on boxes, throw boxes and smash boxes.  Its its taped right it just may make it.  Spend the money on a sturdy box, heavy grade tape and be OCD with it lol.  When I tape a box I go all around the box with one piece each time. I don't just trust going across and over the side.  I mention this because, they said on the news that poor packing and taping is the number one cause of loss.  The thing I don't get is if I am a postal carrier and I pick up a box and see its not holding up...why not save it and ship it?  Why just send it to Georgia for an auction.  How about taking the extra step to add some extra tape and stabilize the box?  Or re-tape it if everything fell out.  Be nice right? Nope   Sorry bad grammar today too lazy to fix it all. :lol:

I have given up all hope for this box. I really think its gone for good.... *siiiiiiiiiiiiigh* I keep going back up there and they keep saying customs but there is noooooooo way in hell it had been in customs for so long. Well,  time to work on another box, and I'm sad because one of those items were not easily replaceable. I'm currently in my last swap I can be in of the year since I'm about to start my passport traveling, so I will try to get ahold of what I can afford and work on two boxes  (for that swap and the disney swap) at once so poor Sora gets something! I'm like so sorry this is happening.... this is so embarrassing stupid LAZY american postal service. Everyone tells me not to bash on post office workers but sorry they lost my box, so I'm calling them lazy and can't do their job right. Its a PINK and brown box for crying out loud! They can't miss it.

I'm sorry to hear that Sora's box has disappeared. I feel bad for both of you Princess Lala.   I know you expected the post office to be able to get the box to Sora and I feel bad for Sora also that the really great box from you is missing.  Is there any chance it might still make it to Sora?

Perhaps on the one hard to find item you really had hoped to get Sora we could rather network together to see if we could track another down for a reasonable price?

^ The last thing i wanted to find for Sora is actually a very reasonable price, its just a pain the the patooty to find! Ive been looking everywhere for it, I can probably commission one to be honest! *sigh* I'm just so sad this box never made it.... I actually had two amazing items in there well, they are all awesome, but I sent her my Lion King Broadway Zazu plush and I made her some absol stuff including a shiny absol chibi charm. There was also a tremendous amount of TLK goodies too! *cries* The super awesome secret item with the mickey mouse sticker though I don't want to give it away as I plan on sending another one! :heart: I should have the box ready by Thursday and ready to ship! Just want to keep my eye out for other things, I want this box to be so well worth it for all the postage trouble!  :cry:

This post makes me very hopeful!  I have a gut feeling its still in customs, but in case u will send out another box.

You guys are so sweet, ya know that!? I feel touched yet embarrassed so many people are offering to help! I am all good though, thank you all for wanting to help!  :blush: This box is almost finished! Sora omg it will be ready by Wednesday and shipped out to you I swear! I'm so sad because I really wanted our boxes to be like a trade and wanted to be friends. We have so much in common like our names are different by one letter and its so totally cool you love Pokemon and Disney just like me! If this first box turns out sometime in the future, well you got two swap boxes with different stuff in them xD

Here is the teaser for the NEW box! I know it doesn't look like much, but this is at the swap budget max! I hope its good enough, I'm so scared this new box isn't as good as the other one.....

I meant to send this out Thursday but all that crap at work set me off schedule. I've been selling stuff on eBay that will cover this shipping! Shipping estimate is almost $27, I can send it out tomorrow along with some things I've sold! 

IF this box makes it- please take good care of Calypso, Sora! You will understand when you get it, its not Disney-related. I got us both each this item im talking about as friendship tokens, but since yours got lost in the lost I just decided to give you mine! :heart:
