I <3 surprises in my mailbox! (International)

This is a great swap for swap-bot newbies and even vets too!

You will pick a minimum of any TWO items on the list to send to one partner. (Please check below in the comments, some countries you can not send certain things to due to customs. So please send something your partner can receive. I will edit the list next time I do this swap.)

• stickers - 10 loose stickers (none smaller then your thumbnail or teacher reward)

• note cards w/envelopes - any 2 unused note cards with envelopes

• stationary - 5 sheets of stationary paper (no plain white paper or notebook paper)

• ribbon - 5 pieces of ribbon at least 6" in length

• bookmark - 1 store bought bookmark

• tea - 2 teabags in package (no loose, unpackaged teabags)

• envelopes - 3 envelopes, any size or design (no plain white envelopes please)

• seeds - 1 package of flower seeds

• postcard - 1 store bought postcard

As long as your partner sends any two off the list, rate them a 5 for completing the swap requirements. Even if you don't like something. This swap is not based on your profile, so if you receive something you don't like, save it for another swap.

Here's the fun part. If your partner sends more then the minimum, you may give them a heart. So if they pick 3 off the list or send double the amounts of the 2 for example, give them a heart for making it special or going above the minimum.

This is an easy swap to earn a 5 rating and a heart. Hope everyone has fun! :)

** Due to controversy over the rating and hearts, I am posting this from swap-bots page on the rating system.**

What are the rating criteria?

There are only three different rating criteria: I got my stuff and it met posted swap requirements (5 points); I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements (3 points); I never got anything (1 point). Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap. The fun thing about swaps is that you never know what you are going to get, and that means that sometimes you may not be thrilled with what you receive.

What are hearts and how do I give them?

If someone sends you an extra special swap package that far exceeds the swap requirements, you can give that person a heart.
