Description:

Is there a better combination?

Here's what you do:

  1. Buy one box of tea you've never tried, but always wanted to.
  2. Take out and keep half the tea bags for yourself.
  3. Buy a package of (new!) pretty cupcake wrappers.
  4. Put the wrappers in the tea box.
  5. Seal up the box, slap an address label on it, and ship!

Some rules and stuff:

  • The tea bags must be individually wrapped, of course.

  • No "normal" cupcake wrappers (no plain white, the typical pastels, or aluminum).

  • It's perfectly okay to send the tea box with just a label on it. I've been doing this lately for some other things I've sent. You might get a weird look, but that's okay! Make sure you seal the box well, though.

  • The tea and wrappers are sender's choice.

  • USA only (to keep it simple and cheap).

  • You have one week to send because you have all this time beforehand to buy what you need. It's sender's choice, so you don't need to know who your partner is.

  • NO FLAKING! (That's just not cool.)

That's about it. If I've forgotten anything, let me know.

Happy swapping! (And happy tea-sipping and cupcake-baking!)

EDIT: You don't HAVE to send a naked box. I got a message from a potential swapper who said the post office gave her a hard time for shipping plain food boxes. I've done it several times, and it was never a problem. I was just trying to make your shipping simpler. So do whatever works! Just send half a box worth of tea and some wrappers, and I'll be pleased! :)

The cupcake papers should be sealed and new as well, right? I wouldn't want to receive cupcake papers that have been sitting in someone's cupboard collecting dust. Just wanting to clarify. Thanks.

I can't join due to prior vacation-y commitments but wanted to stop by and say this is a totally awesome swap. I'm in if you host it again!

Hey, shabbypink123 - yes, the cupcake wrappers should be new. (Good point! I added that to the description above.)

I think I will be doing this again! (And I may be "international" kind of soon, so I'll host from across the sea, too!)

I bought my tea box last night, and I'm trying the new tea right now! It's delicious! :)
