Message in a Bottle International

Have you ever thrown a message in a bottle into the ocean? Better yet, did you hear back?

For this swap you'll be tossing your bottle into the ocean of mail and letting the postal currents carry it on to your partner. You will send your swap in a water bottle like the ones shown in the picture above. You can buy one just like them at the dollar store. A screw on lid is strongly recommended so it doesn't wiggle off in transit.

You will fill the bottle with goodies such as but not limited to washi tape, stickers, candy, tea, embellishments, pens, ephemera, beads, charms, candles, lotion, make up samples, chap stick, craft supplies, ribbon, lace, die cuts, stamps, magnets etc.

You must include at least 1 item that represents your location

You must include at least 1 profile based item

You will also include a message for your partner answering the following questions

1. Where your message is originating from and something interesting about it.

2. If you were to have thrown this in the ocean/sea what is the name of the one closest to you?

3. Have you ever thrown a message in a bottle into the ocean/sea?

4. Did you hear back?

These will be sent naked like a postcard. The water bottle is your packaging. All the items will go into the water bottle. You will screw the lid on tight, wrap the lid with tape for extra security then, you will address the outside of the water bottle and apply proper postage.

Any food must be in sealed factory wrapping. Please send only items in the condition you would like to receive them in. The bottle must be mostly filled, not just a few items. No unresolved 1s or 3s in the last 6 months.

Please remember to include your swap-bot username and the name of the swap
