Children's Winter Swap! Boxes Arriving!

[Katgyrl]

Thanks xeevee!

My Daughter has more of a general list

The only thing she has said she'd like was a doll with wings, a crown, a wand and pink dress. So whether that is something that can be found or not is another thing but things to make it up and put on one of her dolls would make her happy.

Bella is a very girly girl, she loves pink, purple, yellow, and green, anything sparkly. Hair accessories, stickers, puppies, kittens, ponies, and she loves blowing bubbles, drawing and colouring in.

Handmade clothes for some of her dolls would be cherished, she has a monster high girl, a modern barbie, she is getting a lalaoopsy big and little sisters for Christmas and she has a vintage baby doll that fits size 00 to 0 baby clothes. 

Second hand items are perfectly fine! She is an easy to please girl. Not too many sweets please, and only chocolate (any sort) or cookies. But she is happy to share with her daddy, so it's not a big issue.

She also has a little collection of Schleich farm animals. And loves MLP, her favorites are pinkie pie and rainbow dash, and loves all generations.

My 3 daughters are all able to participate!

Julia-  She is the youngest in our bunch.  At 2 years old, she is very interested in letters and blocks.  Her most favorite friend is Winnie the Pooh.  Julia is always interested in her big sister's baby dolls and ponies; any sized baby doll with a happy face would make her smile.  She is extremely sensitive to any kind of sad/angry/crying face. 

Aria-  My middle daughter, age 6.  Aria is a thoughtful and clever child who excels at problem solving, puzzles and reading.  She is incredibly smart and has a tendency to be accidentally destructive;)  Aria enjoys brushing pony hair, putting together puzzles, making craft projects and dance.  Items on her most wanted lists include: doll clothes for her American Girl doll, G4 ponies like the Crystal Princess collection, Disney Fairies especially Periwinkle, bead projects and books.

Lily-  My oldest daughter who is turning 8 at the end of this month.  Lily is an independent, highly opinionated little fashionista with a diva attitude!  She is sweet and sensitive with a generous nature.  Lily enjoys reading, playing with her American Girl Doll, making crafts and putting together fashionable outfits.  Items on her most wanted lists include: cute outfits for her American Girl Doll, Monster High Dolls, G4 ponies like the Crystal Princess Collection, books and hair accessories. 

My children are all extremely girlie-girl; so please no gory, gender neutral or violent items.  Nothing that resembles a 'boy's toy' either.

Ok, here is a general idea of what Elisabeth would like:
Monster High
Winx Club
Justin Beiber (but not the dolls she says they look creepy)
Webkins
Zhu-zhu pets (particularly babies or playsets)
DS or Wii games or accessories (these are usually too expensive for the swap, but sometimes there's good deals on used ones at Gamestop or Game play, they don't need to be new)
She also keeps stealing my G1 Li'l Tabby pony.
She loves Kit-Kat, Twix, Hershey Bars, and cookies.


How could I forget! She just got her ears pierced and she wants earrings! So that's another thing to keep in mind!

Just in general for the swap.  I do this so my kids can get a little bit of contact with the outside world, and learn that people don't do things the same way as we do.  So if you are able to either write a letter on behalf of or get your child to write a letter about where you are from and how you celebrate Christmas I'd really appreciate it.  I don't really do this for the toys so much, and second had is perfectly fine. 

Remy.
Remy is a sweet natured sensitive boy.  He's inherited my collecting gene and has a few collections going on.
Pez Dispensers
Paddle and ball
Smallish spiral bound note pad.
He collects Pressed pennies so if you live near a place that you can get one easily, that would be very appreciated.
Out door and sand pit toys.
Pool toys
anything Power Rangers related.
Magic kits - just the simple ones that dollar tree or whatever stock.
Likes:  Star Wars, Power Rangers, Ben 10, Batman.

Lily
Lily is a little boof head.  She has no fear, loves being outside and getting dirty.
Christmas Doggy (I'm guessing plush - she is most keen on this, so even if you buy a really cheap one from dollar tree it would be loved)
Fluttershy's Nursery Train Car (if you buy this could you tick it off her Amazon wish list please)
Out door and sand pit toys.
Bath toys.
Pool toys
zoobles
play dough
Lego Duplo animals, any is fine, she's pretty obsessed with them.
Likes: My Little Pony, dogs, zoobles, plush toys, care bears, dinosaurs, painting and outside stuff

Partners sent! I've grouped them by age into small groups. Otherwise the ages didn't quite line up. Just let me know if the chart on the first post is confusing at all.

And please do let me know if you didn't get your partner/s.

[michelle53]

I am so excited!!  I am headed to Disney World next week, so I might browse for presents there:). 

My girls will learn about their partners tonight.  They are going to be so thrilled!!!!!

[kiwimlp]

How exciting that I have a partner!!  I'll start looking around for him/her today

I hope the person who has cookie is not too bamboozled!

This is gonna be fun!!  A pressed penny collection?  Cool!!

It's pretty big too, which is doubley impressive when you consider that up until September we didn't live in a country that had pennies.

My daughter and I went shopping last Friday and bought everything for her partner's box! Then she wrapped everything up and made a card! It was very cute. It's all ready to go now, we'll just anxiously wait for the time to ship out!

[xeevee]

that was quick, Katgyrl.    Me and the kids have bought most of the things, just need the extras.

[Katgyrl]

What can I say, I love shopping  Plus I have a busy rest of the year so I wanted to make sure it got done! Are we doing teaser pics for this swap?

[xeevee]

A teaser would be great!

[butterflybuttons]

Yes please to teasers!

We're just about done! I'd like to pick up one or two extra things.

Then Bella can pick out the wrapping paper and wrap every thing.
