Depending on the details of such a thing, I’d probably be in too!

(Were you intending for this to just be a swap with you? Cuz I think everyone read it as being a general Secret Santa sorta thing! I initially thought you just meant to exchange gifts yourself with a couple interested people :) )

I’d be interested in a Secret Santa type swap or an individual one, holiday swaps are so much fun!

Sorry for the delayed reply guys- I lost internet for a few days! I’m going to give everyone a few more days to reply, then here’s what I’m thinking:
- I’ll take down all your user names, put them in a mug, and draw out names in pairs. It won’t exactly be secret since you’ll have to message each other your addresses, but I think it’ll be fun!

I’m going to draw the names on Friday and I’ll post the list of swap partners here, then you can message each other for addresses:)

In addition to my swap, I’m going to draw an extra name out of everyone who participates and send them an extra surprise package!:)

This is going to be so great! What kind of packaging should the tea be in? Should I get a spice jar to ship loose tea or a ziplock with details written on a peice of paper in or only use tea with individually wrapped teabags? I’ve never done a teaswap.

@Lady 0f Spaydes – ziploc baggies with Sharpie name/instructions are great, IMO! Double-bag delicately flavoured and/or strongly flavoured teas to prevent cross-contamination. :)

Alright sounds good! I found $14, so I can buy some tea!
