Swap #1! Singapore


This was my first swap and was very excited to do it with Kai Shi from Singapore (read about her end of the swap here!).



I will try to describe it all from left to right. She sent me:
Lovely tourist postcards, as well as Grandparent's Day postcards and children literacy bookmarks!
A "Happy Virus" notebook & mini "Natural Cheese" notepads. Hahaha!
Teas: green tea & Lychee, Lime & Passionfruit infusion. I am looking forward to that one!
Sweet palm seeds. They are the clear things in the front. They are squishy and that makes it a little weird! But they look really sweet and good, I will keep you updated!
Candies: Milky box of chocolates and M&M look-a-likes in the foil
Buddhist CD. I CANNOT wait to listen to it! I am so excited about it!
Buddhist bookmark! Awweessooommmmeee
Pencil: Has a jewel on top!
Cute stickers of pink people and food
Chips: Crispy Seaweed and Oki Doki BBQ stars. I can't stop laughing about the Oki Doki chips!
Bangle bracelets. And they actually fit my tiny wrists without falling off! =D
A super cute lollipop hair barrette. Serious. Freakin' awesome cute
Gorgeous yellow travel bag set. I kept pulling a smaller one out from each one! Another and another and another!! Hahaha
And paper lanterns! Pink and green, on either side of the box

And Tilly loved the Singapore Post box the most.

Gimme Your Stuff!

Gimme Your Stuff


Two of my favorite things in the world have been combined: culture and stuff.
I think GimmeYourStuff is about to become my favorite website.

You sign up, list what you can give and swap with someone else in the world. So here are my lists! My past swaps are listed on the left.

NOTE: Right now I have moved to JAPAN.

Things to give from Japan:
Any type of magazine
Various fabrics
Sweet and/or salty snacks
Gum, candy, spices, etc
Chopsticks
Bento boxes
handkerchiefs
Folding fans
Phone charms
Touristy souvenirs (postcards, key chains, magnets, etc)
ANYTHING CUTE
Engrish items
Traditional or fun stationary
Stickers
Jewelry

MAYBE a funny/cool tshirt or random CD
Clothing and cds/dvds are usually very expensive, so please don't be disappointed if I can't find something on discount.
Lots of things, just ask!

Stuff I like:
Anything traditional from your country
Anything pop culture from your country
Local souvenirs and crafts
Things with non-English writing
Buddhist things
Food: Spices, candy, food packets Note: I am vegan. I do not eat animal products. So no meat, milk or egg please =)
Kitchen items and cookbooks/recipes
T-shirts
Magazines- cooking, cakes, fashion, bridal
Stickers
Cats
Cute things
Bags, purses
Scarves
Jewelry (bracelets, rings...)
Postcards and coins
Music and movies

Surprise me!

I love all international things, but would especially love to swap with Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Russia and/or Eastern European countries as that is where my family was from. =)
