Let's utilize our Amazon Prime free-shipping accounts to send a ~$7 gift to our partners!

Why $7, you ask?

I used to send nice cards out to family and friends for their birthdays until a year or so ago, when I realized that for the price of a card and a stamp or two I could send a neat little gift (if I didn't have to pay separate shipping). Thus I started using Amazon Prime to send out fun birthday surprises.

Everyone has really enjoyed receiving these, so I thought it would be a great for a swap! BUT - it can be a challenge. Many items around $7 are Add-on or Prime Pantry, so they can't be shipped separately to the recipient. Thus you need a little time and some searching savvy, so this is a swap for shoppers.

Because Amazon has a myriad of items, I'm making this swap profile-based - simply find something that you think your partner would like. It can be totally random, and that's what makes it fun! For instance, items I've sent include:

  • Crocheting/knitting or sewing kits

  • Oreos and a dipr

  • Jewelry

  • Kitchen gadgets

  • Office supplies

  • A dozen beach balls

The possibilities are endless!

This should be a relatively easy swap as Amazon does the packaging and shipping for you. If it becomes popular I'd love to make it a monthly swap.

So in a nutshell:

  1. You will have two weeks to find an awesome/interesting/fun $7 (+/- a couple dollars if needed), profile-based item on Amazon for your partner

  2. Make it a Gift and write the swap name, your Swap-Bot name, and a little greeting for your partner on the Gift Receipt Message (you may also want to write on your partner's wall/send a message that the package is on the way)

  3. This is a USA-only swap due to using Amazon Prime shipping

  4. No newbies (sorry), at least 20 Type 3 swaps, and a 4.95 rating

Let's get shopping!

Working my way up to 20 swaps. Do you think you'll host this swap again?

@savannahmay I hope to. =0) Since 10 people have signed up so far it's looking like there may be enough interest to keep it going.
