Description:

Thank you to @Midnightshadow for the great idea and for permission to host a US/Canada version!

I love looking at what other people are buying and thinking up stories about who they are and why they are buying what they are buying. So...

For this swap you will be following an innocent shopper in your local dollarstore (or a store similar to that - with cheap priced items) and picking up at least 3 (three) items that are the same as the items the "leader" (the innocent customer in front of you) picks up. - if he or she doesn't get 3 wait for the next "leader" to appear. MUHAHAHA

Then you buy it and stuff it in a package along with a note saying something about the person you followed; what did he/she look like, why do you think the person bought what he/she bought? Be creative. I hope you'll enjoy the swap.

Swappers with 4.8 average rating and 20+ rated and mailed swaps (that are not just flat mail or postcards, please) are welcome in this swap. No newbies please.

I think that this is a really fun idea! I wish I had 20 swaps under my belt so I could participate, but maybe there will be another swap like this later.

This is definitely a fascinating idea/social experiment...

Please let me know when the March one will be! I can't do it this time around but would love to do so in the future. It's a great idea =)

Hmm, this swap didn't attract as much interest as last time! Hopefully next month :)
