mugswap

Sign-ups open: November 24th (but I'm posting early so you can sign up now!)

Sign-ups close: November 30th at midnight CST

Matches are sent out: December 1st

so hi. I suppose you're here because you wanna send someone a neat-o mug & receive one in return... well great! :) before we get to the good stuff, I have to go over a few important things:

PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU CAN/WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. if you have any doubts about remembering to send your match's mug, being able to afford it + shipping, or are worried about something coming up that would prevent you from completing your swap, please just sit this one out.

recommended spending amount is $10, plus shipping. that does not mean you have to spend $10; if you wanna crafty up a mug for a few bucks, go for it! if you wanna spend $30 on a spiffy new mug & tea leaves for your match, you do you. but I put the price point in there just so everyone knows about how much this will cost them, or if you need a guide for how much to spend. kind of like Secret Santa/Dirty Santa, I guess?

mugs can be new, thrifted, or handmade/hand decorated

your match is NOT anonymous. you will know who they are, and vise versa. your mug will still be a surprise! but this way, you can ask them questions about what they like if you want, and everyone stays a little more accountable too.

package your match's mug with care! bubble wrap, news paper, tissue paper, old t-shirts, or anything else soft & cheap can be used to cradle that sweet mug in its shipping box. also, mark your boxes with "Fragile", although I don't think they really pay much attention to that stuff at the post office...

please try to provide proof of shipping to both your match & me by the mandatory ship date. each swap (if we have more than one...) will have new dates outlined in a post somewhere. proof of shipping includes a receipt from the PO, tracking numbers, or anything of the sort. just so I know you completed the swap & so your match knows to keep an eye on their mailbox/PO box!

sign-ups will be open for one week! once you fill out the sign up form, you'll receive a confirmation email from me. if you change your mind after filling out the form, just respond to my email letting me know :) everyone will be matched up with partners as soon as sign ups are over, and those will be sent out within a few days. specific dates will be outlined in another post!

if at any time during the swap you decide you will not be able to participate (for any reason, big or small) please send me an email ASAP letting me know. I will take care of the rest.

if you happened to miss the sign up, but you're still interested, send me an email or message me here! I will put you on a back ups list, in case someone needs to drop out of the swap.

if you are outside of the US/Canada, you can sign up! however, if there are no matches that are able to ship outside of their country, you might not be able to participate this go-around. please keep this in mind if you choose to sign up, and I will try my best to get you hooked up with a partner that can ship to you :)
