I also was totally going for small treats like candy and stickers too! Being my first swap, I really want this to be a great one for my partners - don't want to disappoint anyone, but also want to spoil them too!  :biggrin:

Aww that sound so cute! ^^ I have only been in one swap before and it was so much fun! I hope my partner will be happy whit what I send!

I'm a tad worried that the number of ponies will make it hard to get any extras in such a small box! Adult ponies take up more room than I realize...

ND, that's why you buy candy that can be opened up and sprinkled among the ponies like styrofoam peanuts.  ;)  Pics!  Gotta take some soon.  After itty bitty gets sealed that is.

Little, individually wrapped candies work well in that instance. Peppermint drops, butterscotch discs, Hershey kisses and hugs, etc.

I tend to include little souvenirs from Chicago since it's a huge tourist destination. So pretty postcards and things may make their way into my partner's box. I may also take their ponies with me to the Ren Faire and take pictures of her there, and included them, just to be cute.

I always have the intention to send extras, and then.... I wrap my pony up and I'm lucky if I manage to include a note!

Ooo, SD stuff!  Neat idea.  Wonder why I never thought of that.  Oh, right.  Mama brain...

I love souvenirs and touristy stuff :) (Probably why I love the traveling ponies :D) The few swaps I've been in had really different extras. I LOVED all of them. One partner drew me some pony bookmarks and a card with some of my favorite ponies on it. Cheap and small to ship. :)

I forgot notes in my first swap boxes too, NoD. I just get so excited!! I have a shelf now where I stick a post-it on the spot with my swap partner's name and as I accumulate extras for them and supplies and baits I stash them all there so when I go to pack up I forget less stuff. Also, having partners that went the extra mile has really set a standard I want to aim for in the future (current) swaps I'm in. SO many great ideas.

I got to looking at my pony and just realized that she needs a ribbon in her tail, g1 style.

I am SO happy with how this pony came out. I hope I'm as happy with pony number 2.

Okay, just realized something about my partner  :lookround:  Surprise Surprise!  Can't wait for shipping time.
But yep, I will be including extras also.

What are some extras that people love to receive?

For me...anything but no Licorice (Yuck  >_< )  Pony accessories, Stickers, Stationary/postcards/pencils...things like that are great!  Oh and for the artist out there, I keep drawings that others send me and put up with my ponies.

I don't like mint, but Skittles, Starbursts, Gummi Bears and other chewy candy always makes me happy.  I love little homemade trinkets:)  No worries about going crazy, I will probably only include candy and a few small goodies.

i was wondering. should we sign the ponies when we are done with their hair? so our partner doesnt forget who made them with their new hair.

I always mark my rehairs so that somewhere down the line, no one gets duped into thinking it's some kind of a variant. I just put my initials and the word rehair on the bottoms of one hoof, usually with a very fine point sharpie.

Basically any small wrapped candy will get eaten here.  Drawings, postcards, etc.  Oh, it's generally 90-100 degrees here ATM.  Chocolate would not survive.   :cry:

I sign all my ponies (if I remember xD ).

I love all kinds of extras. I myself am really bad with sending extras, almost always forgetting them.

I'm quite nervous reading all these comments. I hope my two ponies will be enough and my partner won't be disappointed.

No worries!  I'm sure everyone is expecting a small package with a pony inside:)
