Description:

Hello Swappers! and welcome to the You Are My Sunshine! #1 Swap!

This swap is for anyone in the U.S.A WITH HUMAN CHILDREN (lol) biological or adopted or grandchildren that you take care of OFTEN (more than twice a week) who are Newborn to 4 years of age. (Please list childs sex and age(s) in comments!)

We all have those moments when we are having a bad day and our children do something simple and innocent that gets us laughing and in a wonderful mood again, so why not surprise your little one with a package just for them?

For this swap you will be required to:

EVERYONE is asked to provide tracking info to their partner, This is to ensure no one flakes and we won't have any disappointed swappers.Tracking is only between .80 - $2 i believe so it is fair.

  • Send your swap partner 1 MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX

-(FOR RECYCLED PACKAGING):
Inside Dimensions: 11" x 8½" x 5½"

Outside Dimensions: 11¼" x 8¾" x 6"

Containing AT LEAST 3 profile based (MUST HAVE A SECTION FOR CHILDREN ON PROFILE! I WILL CHECK!) items for their child. If your feeling giving, by all means, go crazy! Ive been guilty of this, just another excuse to shop if you ask me. XD

This can include:

-new or gently used childrens book
-childs favorite snack
-toy(new)
-handmade item (make sure it is age appropriate and safe!)
or anything listed in the childs likes/wishlist section on profile. DO NOT send 3 of the same item!!!! >.< If there is more than one child listed it is senders choice whether to send something to be SHARED or something for each individual child.

You will also send:

  • 2 items (senders choice) that are FOR the child, or to aid in THE CARE of the child. Examples of this are:
    -wipes/pacifier wipes (UNOPENED PACKAGE!)
    -spoons/bowls/sporks (UNOPENED PACKAGE!)
    -Bibs (new)
    -Cute band-aids (UNOPENED PACKAGE!)
    -Swaddles (new)
    or anything else you think may aid in the caring of a child.

AND FINALLY....

  • A handwritten note (from you or your child) to your partners child with a kind message for them to read now or when they are old enough to! =]

    PLEASE DO NOT SEND:
    -Medicine
    -anything dirty
    -anything open (as in food, baby wipes ect.)
    -ANYTHING THE CHILD OR PARENT IS ALLERGIC TO!
    -Anything offensive (unless they list it on their page.I.E; adult humor onsies, ect.)

There is a $15 min. before postage.(I believe shipping is $10.85 or $11.35,check with your local post office) you can of course go over $15 but nothing less! If you can't afford the swap, DO NOT JOIN. the reason it is a medium flat rate box is because younger children are at risk for injury with smaller items.

WRAPPING OF ITEMS IS ENCOURAGED!!!! Please rate fairly and based on swap requirements.And wheter or not anything allergenic was sent.

Anyone who is willing to angel/partial swap angel please write it below with your comment though I hope this is not necessary and only angel within the agreement that the flaker receives a 1 rating and their names are provided below.I can angel/partial angel if needed as soon as I am able. This is so I can block them from future sunshine swaps. I thank you for your generosity, Angels! Anyone who flakes on a swap for children does not deserve a second chance.

I reserve the right to ban any suspicious users PM me if you think i should make you an exception. I have altered the swap to be NEWBIE FRIENDLY(as we were all new once and were just as eager as an expirienced swapper to make someones day!) with a well filled out profile.I will still ban if i think you are suspicious.

so, SUMMARY OF SWAP-

  • TRACKING PROVIDED TO PARTNER!
  • NEWBIE FRIENDLY
  • 1 Medium flat rate box (or to given dimensions for recycled boxes)
  • 3 Profile based items FOR CHILD (if more than one child, senders choice wheter to send 3 items to be shared or one for each child.)
  • 2 Items (for child or to aid in care of child) senders choice
  • Kind note from you or your child to partners child
  • $15 MIN. BEFORE POSTAGE
  • NO MEDICINE,ANYTHING DIRTY,OPENED,PARTNER OR CHILD ALLERGIC TO,OFFENSIVE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED!
  • WRAPPING OF ITEMS ENCOURAGED!
  • DONT FREAKING FLAKE!!!!!

This being said, Happy swapping!!!!!! =D

I have a 5 month old baby boy named Isaac. He has a section on my profile. I can angel for 1 person if needed.

Carolann24 06/19/2012 #

I would love to join but Im a newbie :(

Lisandra 06/19/2012 #

Carolann24, I am sorry you cannot join the swap at this time. I will host more of these from time to time depending on how well it goes, perhaps by then you will have enough swaps to join! Til then however, keep swapping! =D

LavenderSprinkles 06/19/2012 #

I have a 2 year old little girl!

Lisandra 06/21/2012 #

*EDIT MADE: Hi everyone! I included a few minor edits, (new and unopened requirements for sanitary/safety reasons) as well as the dimensions of a medium flat rate box for all the green swappers! Hope that helps, and watchers Id love for you all to sign up! =D have a great day!

happytuedayrain 06/21/2012 #

Can a newbie join? I would really love to join!

Lisandra 06/22/2012 #

Hi Happytuedayrain, Currently the swap is only for people who are a 5.0 (im making exceptions with high swappers who have gotten an unfortunate low rating) with at least 5 swaps under their belt however, seeing as in theres only two people, one being myself who qualify for the swap who have signed up, and you and another newbie are interested, and have full profiles, i will change it to newbie friendly. Please dont flake!!

Lisandra 06/22/2012 #

I WILL ANGEL IF NEEDED AND WHEN I AM ABLE, AS I HAVE A CHILD OF MY OWN TO TEND, UNDER THE AGREEMENT THAT FLAKERS NAMES (ACTUAL SO I CAN REPORT TO SWAPBOT) ARE PROVIDED VIA PM, AND THEIR USERNAME HERE IN THE COMMENTS SO I CAN CHECK IF YOU RATED A 1, AND BLOCK THEM TO PROTECT FUTURE SUNSHINE SWAPS. I will not angel if this is not done. please lets not have this happen and any swappers who are willing to angel as well comment below.

happytuedayrain 06/22/2012 #

I won't flake, thank you!!! I have 4 kiddos - 3 Boys (6yo,5yo, and 1 yo) and 1 daughter (days away from turning 3) I will add details of their likes to my profile :) This looks like a fun swap!

Lisandra 06/22/2012 #

your welcome thanks for signing up! the more the merrier!!!!

LavenderSprinkles 06/22/2012 #

I have 3 kids but I thought this is only for the younger ones?

LavenderSprinkles 06/22/2012 #

tracking is free if you print postage on paypal

Lisandra 06/23/2012 #

@ LavenderSprinkles thanks for letting us know about the paypal thing! dint know that! Also you are right, it is just for newborn-4yrs. so say i got happytuedayrain as a partner, i would send stuff based on her 1 yr old son and daughter whos 2 going on 3 yr old ONLY, as required by the swap. If youd like to send stuff for a partners other children thats fine too but * NOT* required. Im aware your profile lists info about your other kids too so dont worry if ur my swap buddy! lol I personally usually try to send stuff for everyone when money allows. =]

Hollydays 06/23/2012 #

Can grandma's join my grand daughter come over 3 to 4 times a week and they LOVE to get packages.

Lisandra 06/24/2012 #

Hollydays 06/24/2012 #

Great they are going to love this I have Kaylin girl 3 years and Amber girl 1 year their mini profile is at the bottom of mine. They did this once before and had so much fun shopping for someone else.

Lisandra 06/25/2012 #

im glad they will enjoy it! just make sure they pick stuff out according to the swap if they are the ones picking-at least 3 profile based on the child you get (age appropriate and safe!) and 2 items senders choice that are again for the child or to aid in the care of him/her/them. =]

Lisandra 07/ 3/2012 #

HEY EVERYONE!!! deadline was moved to august 2nd, so you can have more time to shop!!!!!!! =D

Serenityfey 07/ 7/2012 #
